Stolen Innocence
A/N: I'm finally posting the next chapter. Yeah for me!!!
"These pancakes aren't that bad," Grissom admitted reluctantly. He'd been cajoled by Greg and Nick into having the house special of chocolate chip pancakes though he had simply wanted plain buttermilk ones. He hated to admit it, but he was enjoying the chocolate chip pancakes more than he usually enjoyed his buttermilk ones. "Greg, I need to talk to you about something the rest of the team has been talking about for some time now. You're not in trouble so don't get nervous or anything, all right?"
"All right," Greg agreed though he was clearly nervous. When the boss wants to talk about something serious it's usually never good. Greg drank the rest of his milk before settling in his seat and waited for Grissom to continue.
"Now I know you won't be able to do much with your broken leg," Grissom began and tried not to wince when Greg's face fell momentarily. "By all rights you shouldn't even be going to work today. I've decided that today would be a good day to start your training. I've discussed it with the others before and they all agree that you'd be great. You'll only be able to observe and through in your opinion until your leg heals but it would still be valuable training. What do you say? Will you join my team and be my newest CSI?"
"You mean it?" Greg grinned and his face lit up. Nick and Grissom smiled at his enthusiasm before Grissom motioned for the waitress to bring the check. He paid and the three men left for what would be an exciting night of work.
Once they got to the lab, Warrick, Catherine, and Sara were told that Greg would be joining them as a CSI and congratulated him. They didn't have to wait long before a few cases rolled their way and Grissom went about assigning everyone.
"Sara, Catherine, you two take the DB found in the Monaco hotel, room 419," Grissom handed Catherine a sheet with the basics. O'Rilley would meet them there. "Warrick, you take over the cases we had before Christmas. See if Vincent's finished running the blood. Nick, Greg, you'll be with me on the DB found in the park. Good luck everyone."

"I want you to be careful Kiddo," Grissom warned Greg as he was getting out of the Tahoe. He was always nervous about bringing a new CSI, especially one with a broken leg, out into the field, but this was Greg and Grissom was pretty sure he could handle it. "The ground's slippery because it rained two nights ago."
"I'll be all right," Greg told him but Grissom could hear the nerves in his voice. He chuckled softly as he remembered his first time in the field and how scared he was. But he had to remember this wasn't Greg's first time, though he didn't take his first time too well, he'd at least seen some of what they do.
"The victim's name is Molly Henderson, daughter of Mr. William and Mrs. Camille Henderson of the Henderson estates," Brass told them. If he was surprised to see Greg out on the field, wearing a CSI windbreaker he didn't show it. He did however, show surprise when he noticed that Greg was on crutches. "Sanders, what did you do to your leg?"
"Back to the case Jim," Grissom reminded the captain. Any other time he would have let Greg explain but they were swamped with cases and needed to gather the evidence before it was compromised.
"Right," Brass ducked his head, slightly embarrassed to have been reminded he was only there on business. "Victim was twenty-two years old. She was stabbed several times in the stomach area and it appears that her left wrist is broken, judging from the angle it's at. Her clothes are also torn and her skirt is bunched up so rape is a possibility."
Grissom nodded then looked at Greg to see how he was doing. The kid was doing fine, no paleness to the face, no sick look on his face except for a small look of disgust when Brass mentioned rape. Grissom remembered Nick saying something about Greg's sister having been raped once and that's why he sometimes got a little emotional while processing possible rape victims.
"Just watch for today, all right?" Grissom told the younger man who nodded back gratefully. It was hard for him as he was probably imagining his sister lying there instead of the victim. Grissom began processing her, explaining everything he did to Greg. The training had officially begun.
