Pairing: Grissom and a new character Spoilers: This story is out of time with that of the show, it runs another path away from the last few episodes of season three with sometime before the arrival of the new character.
Rating: Not yet rated Summary: Moving Forwards. Disclaimer: CSI characters are not mine, although I really wish they were. However, all other characters are, as well as the idea. A/N: This is my first attempt at a fanfic and as much as I am an avid G/S shipper, I wanted to try an introduction of a new char. I believe, to my beta reader's surprise that this story was not Sara's story. Notes: Thanks Rox, you're the best.

Chapter 3 Mrs. Lapointe
Bree continued to look around the house, to see if she noticed anything out of place. In the bathroom she noticed a toiletries bag in a state of being packed or unpacked for that matter. She would need to check with Brass to see if he knew if Mrs. Lapointe had recently been traveling or was about to go somewhere.
It was at that moment that Grissom interrupted her thought process and asked if she had found anything?
"Not really, just questions! If you'll excuse me I am going to go and talk to Brass." With that Grissom moved aside and Bree headed out of the bathroom in search of Brass.
'Well that went well,' Grissom thought to himself, 'At least she seems competent in a crime scene though. I guess we shall see how competent when we get back to lab and start to analyze the evidence.'
An hour later, Grissom found Bree hunched over a computer reading whatever she had found on the net. Grissom called out to her and said that he would meet Bree in the morgue to go over the preliminary findings of the autopsy being preformed on the vic. The only response Grissom got was a wag of Liam's tail and an "ok" from Bree.
'What a strange girl she is..' Grissom thought as he headed to the morgue.
It was mere minutes after Grissom arrived in the morgue that Bree came in followed by Liam. As she walked over towards the examining table she said sit and Liam sat near the door.
When she finally got up to the examining table she greeted Doc Robbins with "Hi, My name is Bree and this is Liam. We are transfers form Toronto, and if you have any problems with Liam being in here I'll make him wait outside".
Doc Robbins studied Liam for a minute then replied. "What are his credentials?"
"Well," Bree began. "Liam is trained to defend anyone he is given the command to, as well as being a search and rescue and cadaver dog. At my home base, he even had an ID tag that attached to his collar so that he could easily be identified by anyone at crime scene or at the lab".
"Well, it's fine with me as long as it is ok with Gil!"
"It's fine," Grissom replied. With that Bree asked Doc Robbins what we had.
Doc Robbins concluded his report stating that he found nothing unusual about the vic, he said that she was healthy and had a very nice tan and that he was waiting for the tox report to come back.
Grissom found he was again looking for his newest member a few hours later with the tox report in hand. He found her in the break room with Nick; they were sharing a bag of microwave popcorn and laughing about something as he entered the room. It took Liam walking over to Grissom, looking for a scratch behind the ear to get the attention over the otherwise totally engaged pair.
"The tox reports are in on our victim," Grissom stated.
"Anything show up," Bree asked.
"Nothing, unusual," Grissom replied.
"Hmmm." Bree mumbled.
"It looks like she might have had infection, but further testing would be required to pinpoint exactly what it was." said Grissom.
"Really! An infection? I have an idea! Do I need to get or take anyone with me to go back to the crime scene?" Bree asked.
"Why do you need to go back to the scene?" Grissom asked.
"I have a hunch," she said.
"Uh-oh" Nick said.
"What uh-oh?" Bree asked.
"According to Grissom there are no such thing as hunches only the evidence!" Nick stated.
"Well, my hunch is going to find this evidence and solve the case!" Bree replied
"I'll take her Grissom," Nick said "this I have to see!"
"All right Nick, you take her, I'll let this one go, seeing as you are new!" and with that Grissom turned and walked out of the break room, leaving behind a smiling Nick and a slightly bewildered Bree.
My Spidey Senses Are Tingling
As Nick and Bree headed out to the Tahoe, she asked what that was all about. Nick replied, "Not to worry about it! Grissom is a true scientist! There is an explanation with supporting evidence for everything! Grissom does not believe in hunches." Nick finished.
"How sad, not to have a sense of adventure." Bree muttered as they climbed into the Tahoe.
When they arrived at the Lapointes residence, Bree grabbed her kit and headed in doors and straight for the bathroom.
"So your hunch is in the bathroom?" Nick asked.
"If my hunch is right, the evidence is in the toilet!" Bree stated as she kneeled down beside the toilet bowl and pulled on her latex gloves and removed an evidence vile from her kit.
Bree gingerly lifted the lid of the toilet and began to shine her mag light, so that the beam would light up the underneath of the rim. Within a few seconds, Nick heard Bree exclaim, "Got ya!"
"What have you got?" Nick asked.
"This," Bree said as she stood up and turned towards Nick holding the evidence vile that now contained a spider.
"A spider?" Nick questioned.
"A spider, this is not just a spider" Bree stammered. "This spider," she spurted, "is not just any spider. It is an Australian Redback or Jockey Spider. It belongs to a group of spiders known throughout the world as Black Widows (genus Latrodectus). This spider is responsible for the death of Mrs. Lapointe."
Nick was in shock. "Oh my God, Warrick is going to love this, now we have a Bug Lady to go with our Bug Man!"
"What?" Bree said.
"Oh just wait 'til we get back to the lab and everything will be explained," Nick replied.

Encounters
When they arrived back at the lab, Bree headed off to analysis while Nick headed off in search of everyone.
"Meet me in the break room in 10 minutes," Nick shouted over his shoulder at Bree's disappearing form.
"Ok," he heard her yell back.
As Nick headed off in search of everyone, he couldn't help but chuckle to himself as thought about Bree and her hunch and what it would mean to the rest of the team. He felt that this was the beginning of a beautiful relationship and the lab was going to have some fun again.
As Bree walked through the door to analysis she was greeted by the onslaught of loud music and tech dancing around the lab. Not wanting to interrupt his routine, Bree decided to stand in the open doorway, however, Liam decided that this was no time to fool around and before Bree could grab his collar, he made his way over to the tech and grabbed a hold of his lab coat and pulled.
Greg, as usually was in his lab with the music blaring and was really starting to get into the guitar rift as he waited for a printout, when he felt his lab coat snag on something as he reached down to free it from its hold he encountered something furry and wet.
"What the." Greg said as he finally looked down to be greeted by the biggest dog he had ever seen, of which was now clamped to his lab coat.
"Nice doggie, please don't eat me!" Greg said to Liam.
It was at this point that Bree could no longer contain the amusement and the laugh that she had been trying to contain slipped from her lips.
"Oh, who are you, shoot this thing before it eats me" Greg rambled on as he was startled.
"Liam, heal," Bree, instructed.
With that Greg watched as the massive dog let go of his lab coat and sit down in front of him and began to wag his tail.
"He's yours?" Greg asked.
"Yup, I am Bree Miller and this is Liam," Bree introduced. "You are?"
"I am Greg Sanders, tech extraordinaire at your service, mind you Liam, not food service." He replied.
"It's nice to meet you Greg, I am sorry that Liam startled you, I guess he felt that you could be doing more productive things then dancing around a room," Bree said.
"He did, did he," Greg replied, while he scratched behind Liam's ear. "So, now that I am no longer dancing around, what can I do for you?"
"I am going to give you a venom sample from this little girl" Bree said while she held up a sample container that contained a black and red looking spider. "I want you to run a mass spec on it and then do a comparison to the tox screen of Mrs. Lapointe, I am positive that there will be a match, which will solve this case and I will be able to finish the paperwork on it and go home to bed," Bree stated.
"What makes you so sure that, that is a girl?" Greg responded.
"Cuz, I am genius," Bree merely replied, as she finished extracting a sample from the spider and handed it over Greg.
"Not another one," Greg muttered under his breath as Bree was leaving.
"Did you say something?" Bree asked as she turned in the doorway to look at Greg with a questioning look.
"Err, no, just, err, I'll have your results in about 10 minutes or so," Greg said.
"Ok, great, I'll be in the break room can you drop them off for me?" Bree asked.
"Sure, no problem," Greg said.
