Chapter One-The Invoice
Grissom
"Gris, I don't understand" Nick said again
"Yea, why are we going to Metropolis, why us?" Sarah piped up, even though she had been really quiet through most of the meeting.
An awkward pause followed Sara's question, leaving time for him to understand for himself what was happening. It had been 20 minutes ago when he walked in to CSI ready for a fresh new week at work when the invoice arrived. The first thing he did was check his calendar to make sure it wasn't April Fools day, or a CSI joke day. Even when it wasn't he still didn't believe it until Ecklie walked in and talked about the invoice in full, now he had to believe it because Ecklie never fooled around. As Ecklie rambled on for 5 minutes, he stared into space with his mouth wide open in awe. Sure it wasn't really big deal, they were only going for a month. Anyway these surprises comes with being the best in the country. Even the whole assignment was the least of there worries, it was the fact that they had to leave in 2 hours. That part he hadn't informed his team yet.
"Gris, hello earth to Grissiom," Catherine Willows was franticly waving her hand in front of his face
"Oh yea right, I was just oh never mind, So here what we've got to do, this list shows the equipment which Smallville doesn't..."
"Wait, I thought we were going to Metropolis" Warick Brown jumped in
"Well actually we are going to Smallville, which is just outside Metropolis. Now as I was saying, the equipment that Smallville have has already been packed and is on its way to the airport, if there is anything else that you find necessary let Brass know so he can get it one the plane, we know have to go and pack, with the kind reminder that we most of us will be staying on farms."
"Cool, I've always wanted to be a farm boy" Greg said form the door
"Well, Greg, nice of you to join us, yes you do get to tag along because.."
"Because you love me so much and I'm part of the team, right"
"Sure Grego Nick piped in with a sarcastic tone, "Its just cause Ecklie doesn't want or need you so were stuck with you"
"Well neither are you are right, it because in Smallville they don't have a DNA specialist and no one to operate the lab equipment, but you and Nick can live in your own dream worlds. Okay so its all settled, go home and pack and we'll meet back here in 2 hours."
"Come on Gris, even you couldn't pack for a month in 2 hours" Warick protested.
"I know but the plane leaves at 2am, 4 hours from now, and we've got to there an hour and a half ahead so that leaves 2 hours to pack and half hour to double check, like it or not. Any final questions, good lets go"
"Wait, I've got a question, a quite easy one, Why?" Sara asked
"I'm sorry Sara, even I don't know that, right now were on a need to know basis and will be in formed via email during our flight, according to Ecklie and the invoice. Sorry, oh yea can I see you, Sara, and you two, Nick and Greg in my office shortly."
"okay but I take a while to pack" Sara said.
Thanks I've got lots more but I figured it would flow better if I wrote shorted chapters, and it also looks good. Ill post other but I wont write any more then i have written down on my paper till i get come reviews, thanks. But then again I may not update chapter two till later one this week cause CSI is on today, and it is a rerun but still got to get my daily Nick and Greg intake. And for those who know about Smallville, don't expect any updates tomorrow cause Smallville is on and I NEED my weekly intake of Tom Welling(aka Clark Kent)
