Two days later Sara walked through the doors of Homeland Security. Beside her was Colonel Atkins, and he directed her down the stairs into the pit. Standing in there were the members of the group. Two stood in front of the others, a tall brown haired man and an average blond woman. There were also two dark men, another woman with sandy blond hair. The two in front came to stand in front of her.

"Hi. I'm John Kilmer and this is Frankie Ellroy." The man said.

"Hi, I'm Sara Sidle." Sara replied shaking hands with Frankie.

"Come on, I'll introduce you to the rest of the group." Frankie said, turning to the other behind her. "The taller of the guys is Jelani and the other one is Muhammond. We just call him Mo. And this is Holly. Do you know any sign language?" Frankie asked Sara.

"I'm learning at the moment. If Holly deaf?"

"Yeah, but she's good at lip reading and we can all speak ASL. So, ready to work? We got a call just before you got in." Frankie questioned.

"Sure. Hey, wasn't there another replacement meant to be coming?"

"Yeah. His name is Lucien DeGulive and he's a field agent from the FBI. He'll meet us at the scene." Kilmer said as he picked up a cell phone, pager and a hand computer. "These are your's. We always carry these around on scenes and we also use earpieces when we work scenes, as it's easier to deal with. Ok, ready to move out?" With that, Kilmer walked out of the room, with Frankie and Sara following him.

10 months later.

The hotel was a blood bath with bodies throughout the front lobby. There had been a bomb placed in a package left on the front desk, and two of the CSI crew had been working the scene all night.

"Griss, I think we should call in some help with this. It's way out of our league." Warrick Brown, CSI level 3, told his boss from where he was collecting evidence in the lobby.

"I know Warrick. But I don't want the FBI running our show again." Gil Grissom said as he took photos of the scene. Ever since Sara had left he had stopped taking an interest in anything going on around him, something that the others had noticed as well. Both of the men looked up as they saw a short woman with blond hair and two guys, one with brown hair and the other with crazy blond hair walk into the lobby.

"You guys weren't kidding when you said it was a mess," Catherine Willows said as she looked around her.

"Yeah. I've never seen anything like this before" Greg Sanders, the man with the crazy hair, said. His companion, Nick Stokes shook his head.

"There was one of these about 4 years ago, just after Sara came" Grissom's head shot up at Nick when he said that, before stalking out of the room.

"He's never going to get over her, is he?" Warrick asked Catherine.

"No. He was devastated when she left, and we don't even know where she went"

An hour later, Grissom walked back into the scene with the sheriff behind him.

"Guys, the sheriff want's to talk to you" Grissom said, going to stand with his team.

"We reported this attack to the FBI, and they are sending the Homeland team down here to look around, as it seems to match another bombing from a few months ago in San Diego. They will be here in a few hours."

Sara sat in the back seat of the car, racing towards the crime scene where her friends were working. Next to her was the ever-handsome Lucien. Lucien was medium hight with black hair and dark brown eyes. He was also her best friend at Homeland, next to Frankie. Frankie and Kilmer were in the front talking about where they would go on their next date. A little over three months ago, Frankie was taken hostage on a case, and Kilmer had been frantic with worry until she came back, safe and sound. Their relationship took off from there and they had been dating ever since. The car stopping broke Sara's thoughts, and she got out, taking her kit with her. Standing on the permitter was Brass, one of the detectives she worked with while working at the crime lab here in Vegas.

"Brass" she cried as she ran into his arms after shoving her kit into Lucien's arms.

"Sara? Oh my god, Sara!" Brass closed her tightly in his arms and rocked back and forth, happy to see her again. Pulling back, Brass saw a group of people standing behind her, waiting for introductions.

"Jim Brass, meet the Homeland Security Team. There's Kilmer, he's in charge, Frankie Ellroy, the profiler and Lucien De Gulive, and he's the all rounder. And I'm the forensic scientist." Sara said, introducing everyone. Kilmer stepped forward and began to get an idea about the situation. Indicating for everyone to follow, Brass moved into the lobby talking as he went.
