A/N: I'm now choosing to write all the titles in other languages. If you know it better then me, please let me know if you can beta. I really have no plot to this, so just let it flow.

Chapter 2

Beginnen, dich zu kennen (Getting to Know You)

Haley walked through the halls of Las Vegas Police Department. She stopped at the front desk.

"Em…Could you tell me where CSI Sidle is?" she asked uncertainly.

"Sure. She's in DNA right now, straight down that hall, third door on your left." The receptionist said.

Haley thanked her and walked on. She found Sara talking to someone in a lab coat.

"Hey Sar." Haley nodded politely to the tech. "I hope you didn't forget our, well, midnight snack."

"Nope. This is Jacqui by the way. I'm almost done talking to her, I'll meet you in the break room over there." Sara pointed.

"'Kay. Cheers, nice to meet you Jacqui."

Haley walked into the empty break room. She'd been sitting on the couch for about thirty seconds, when another lab tech walked in.

"Excuse me, but civilians aren't supposed to be here." he said with an unpleasant look on his face.

"Well, my cousin told me to meet her here and I didn't think I was wise to wander the police department…"Haley trailed off, unsure how to react around this man. She could usually handle adults, but this guy was out of her league.

The tech was about to respond when in walked Greg. Haley breathed a breath of relief (mainly because she didn't quite think she was off the hook). Greg looked really tired, and went straight for the coffee machine.

As he walked he talked to the tech, "Hodges, why can't you give me evidence that makes sense? Uggh, I kind of miss being in the lab."

Hodges shrugged. "Well, mister 'I've-always-dreamed-of-being-a-CSI' I guess it's not all it's cracked up to be! By the way, do you know this girl?" Hodges pointed rather rudely at Haley.

Greg turned, drinking his coffee. "Oh hi Haley! Didn't realize you'd be here! Hodges, this is Sara's cousin Haley. Haley this our trace analyst, David Hodges."

Haley shook Hodges' hand, giving him a cheeky little smile. "Told you my cousin said to meet her here."

Hodges shook his head. "Well, I'd like to eat my lunch now, if that's OK with you guys." He sat down at a table and pulled out what looked like white dough and reddish goop. Opening the two containers, he poured the goop over the dough.

Greg turned his nose up in disgust. "Hodges, what is that?"

Haley sniffed the air, and barely having to look at it, said "It's goulash and schpetizla. My great-uncle makes the best I have ever had."

Hodges looked at her in surprise. This girl could be a CSI! "Nobody has ever known what this is, outside of my family! Well, my mother's side at least."

Haley's response was cut off as three men entered, followed by a woman.

The black man was becoming very vehement about whatever subject him and the brunette were talking about. "I'm telling you man, there is no way 'Abbey Road' is not a historical monument!"

The Texan shook his head. "War, are you really that thick? Abbey Road is a real road, just because the Beatles walked across it, doesn't mean it's extra special or anything!"

Warrick was adamant. "Think how many tourists go there every day! They've GOT to block it off!"

Haley, realizing what they were talking about was her specialty, cut in. "Sorry to interrupt, but you're both right. Abbey Road is really nothing special, but there's graffiti everywhere, on every surface, including the sidewalk. Although, it's not a monument."

The men look at her in disbelief. 'Two questions. Who are you, and what are you doing here?" The Texan asked.

"I'm Haley. Sara's cousin. And we're going for a midnight snack when she gets a break."

Greg stepped in. "I can vouch for her 100."

The last man and the woman came front and centre, and welcomed her, introducing themselves as Gil Grissom and Catherine Willows. The two men arguing introduced themselves as, well as Warrick Brown and Nick Stokes.

At that moment, two more people walked in. Hodges, feeling forgotten and crowded, closed his lunch and left quietly.

Haley's eyes opened wide, then she squealed like a little girl in a toy store, and ran over to hug the second person. He returned the hug and smiled. She grinned and pulled away to hug her cousin.

Sara looked around the room. "Looks like we have a full house here today! Now we only need to introduced Haley and Shawn to Doc Robbins and David, and we'll be set."

How true those words were.

A/N: Well, here is the second chapter. Quite a bit longer than the last one, but I think it's better. This one'll be a bit of a two parter, in which we meet the Doc and Dave. grins thanx for the reviews, or rather review, but all the same. I'm still without a defined plot, so ideas would be helpful….

Cheers,
