Some kind of green monster
Chapter 1: Intern
Sara couldn't believe her eyes when she walked into the break room. Everyone was there already and Nick, Warrick, Greg and Catherine were talking to some girl. Leaning against the doorpost she inspected the girl. One word came to her mind, hot. The girl was tall, she had long dark blonde hair and piercing blue eyes. Sara was kind of lost in her thoughts when the girl walked up to her.
"Hi, I'm Evelyn Daniels, the new intern" she said, while stretching out her hand to shake Sara's.
Looking up, Sara gazed into Evelyn's eyes. Then she realised that Evelyn was a lot closer and was actually talking to her.
"Oh uh, Hi, I'm Sara….Sidle" she said shaking Evelyn's hand.
On the background she saw Nick grinning at her reaction, his look gave away what he was thinking. She was busted. Sara started blushing, but fortunately no one noticed because Evelyn was already back in her seat talking to the others.
Sara sat down next to Catherine, who turned and smiled at her. Sara didn't really know how to react, every time Catherine smiled at her, she started blushing. Everyone wanted to know everything about Evelyn and she obviously didn't mind telling them about everything because she seemed to be talking all the time. Sara just watched her; something about that girl intrigued her.
Sara looked over at Catherine, who seemed to be very interested in Evelyn's story. Just when she wanted to say something to her Grissom walked in with tonight's cases.
"Ok guys, I see you have met our new intern" he said, nodding at Evelyn. "Warrick, 419 at the Strip, Nick, Greg and Sara you are coming with me, DB near Lake Mead. Catherine, you are going to be Evelyn's mentor, I suggest you show her around and introduce her to the lab techs." Catherine flashed one of those gorgeous smiles at Sara when she looked at her.
Sara followed Nick and Grissom out of the break room. Warrick got up and patted Evelyn on the shoulder "Good luck, tonight" he said to her before leaving the room too.
Catherine smiled at Evelyn. "You ready" she asked. Evelyn just nodded and smiled. You won't be keeping that smile for long Catherine thought, grinning at herself. When she survives her first week, she won't be smiling like that.
After showing her around Catherine took Evelyn into the break room for a coffee. "So what do you think so far? Will you survive your time here?" she said handing Evelyn her coffee. "Thanks" Evelyn said while taking her coffee from Catherine "I think I'll live" she said with a smile. Catherine looked at Evelyn and felt a but coming "But.." she said, she was surprised to see the talkative Evelyn suddenly fighting to find her words. "But nothing" Evelyn replied, smiling again. Ah! Catherine thought another bad liar.
"I know you know there is more" Evelyn said shyly "I had a bad childhood, I'm having a hard time to feel at home in a new place. I'm always afraid I'll never settle in, and well I'm only here for a short time.."
"Don't worry, everybody around here is nice and we will make you feel at home" Catherine reassured her, placing her hand on Evelyn's shoulder. She knew she had to interrupt now, because Evelyn was about to start crying. It was funny to see this seemingly strong woman be so enthusiast and talkative one minute and breaking down the next.
"I'm your mentor Evelyn" she continued "you can always come to me, even if you have a problem with something that is not work". Evelyn looked at her and smiled "Thanks Catherine" she said "and erm, I would appreciate it if you could keep this between us, I don't want the others to know".
Catherine nodded, thinking she just met another Sara. "Of course" she said "Come on, let's get back to work".
"I just have to go to the bathroom real quick" Evelyn said, parting her ways with Catherine. "Ok" Catherine said "I'll meet you in the lab".
Evelyn hurried to the bathroom. She was really upset about the conversation she just had with Catherine, she didn't mean to open up to her at all. She looked at herself in the mirror and wiped her tears away; she splashed some water in her face and adjusted her clothes. "Ok, ready to go Ms Daniels" she said to herself before meeting up with Catherine.
