Mark wakes up several hours later to find Catherine gone. He listens for a second thinking she might be in the bathroom, but hears nothing. He lets out a large sigh, thinking I knew that was too good to be true. Mark sits on the side of the bed and turns on a light. He noticed that he is due to report to his new job in a few hours. Starting out on the night shift is something that is new for him. They did tell him there is a potential he could be working a swing shift as well, but for his first day he reports to nights. He was told to get there a little early for time to fill out all the new employee paperwork. Mark gets up, walks to the bathroom and turns on the shower.

Mark exits the bathroom and walks toward the bedroom to get some clean clothes. Something on one of the pillows catches his eye. It looks like note. He picks it up.

"Sorry I had to leave so soon.

I got called into work.

I hope to see you again soon."

Marks smiles seeing that Catherine left her number. This was turning out to be a lot better than when he first woke up. Mark was suddenly wondering what Catherine did for a living, he just realized that was a topic neither of them discussed last night.

Looking through his clothes Mark decides to go with khakis and a dark blue polo. Mark walks into the sitting area to look for his cell and notices all of the clothes everywhere and laughs to himself, he picks them up and puts them in the bedroom. Coming back into the sitting area Mark spots his cell and wallet grabs both and leaves his hotel room in search of food before he starts his new job.

Mark drives to a diner close to his new place of employment. He wanted some place close by not knowing how busy it would be. He parks out front and walks in and seats himself at the counter. A waitress comes over to take his order, "What would you like to drink?" she asks.

Mark looks at the menu and says, "Coke."

"Alright I'll be right back to take your order," the waitress says as she walks away to get his drink. She returns a few minutes later. "Did you decide?"

"Yes, I'll take the cheeseburger and fries," Mark says as he hands the waitress his menu.

Mark leaves the diner and heads for his Jeep. He starts driving toward the Las Vegas Crime Lab. About 15 minutes later Mark pulls into the parking lot of his new place of employment. He originally applied for a lab position working in computer forensics but in the interview he explained that he also had field experience. It was decided that with Mark's experience in both areas he would help out wherever needed since the crime lab in Vegas always has more work than it can handle, even though the department performs very well. Mark walks into the crime lab and when he reaches the reception desk he says, "I'm Mark Anderson I'm meeting with Gil Grissom."

The receptionist looks up from her computer, "Just one moment let me see if he's available. Why don't you have a seat over there."

A few moments later Gil arrived at the desk, the receptionist pointed towards the waiting area. Gil walks into the waiting area, "Hello Mark, I'm Gil Grissom it's finally nice to meet you in person after all of our Skype interviews." Gil reaches out his hand and shakes Mark's hand.

"It's nice to finally meet you in person as well," Mark says rising and following Gil.

Gil leads Mark into his office and motions for him to take a seat. Mark takes a seat in front of Gil's desk as Gil sits behind his desk.

"I'm very excited for you to join our team. I'm sorry you couldn't meet everyone in the interview process. My second in command Catherine Willows was on vacation with her daughter Lindsey during the time of the interviews. But you will see several of the committee here this evening Jim Brass, Dr. Al Robins and Archie Johnson. I have some initial paperwork for you to fill out and then we will have assignments in the break room where I will also give you an introduction to most of the team. This is going to be a first for us having a computer forensic expert who will also assist in the field."

Mark nods, "Where I worked in Ohio was a very small, shorthanded operation, so it was very common for all of us to work in several areas. I'm just glad I can help out and expand my horizons a bit with this being a bigger department with a very diverse spectrum of crime."

"That it definitely is." Gil shuffles through papers on his desk and hands several of them to Mark. "Would you mind getting started on this paperwork? I have a few things to do before assignments, I will come back and get you before then."

Mark nods and starts filling out the paperwork. About 30 minutes later Gil returns, "Mark how is that paper work coming?"

"One last signature and I am done," Mark responds. Handing the completed paperwork to Gil.

Gil places them in a file folder on his desk and puts it aside. Picking up assignments and getting up from his desk, "Why don't you follow me for assignments and we'll get you introduced to the team."

Mark follows Gil down the hall to the break room, which is filled with several people. Mark stands next to Gil as he calms the group down, "Alright everyone I would like to introduce a new hybrid member of our team Mark Anderson. Mark came to us from a small private lab in Ohio. He will be working with Archie in computer forensics and he will be assisting in the field. This is a new thing for us to have someone doing two jobs at once, but I think it will work out really well as Mark was used to wearing many hats in his previous position."

Gil continues to speak as Mark looks around the room at the team, one member in particular catches his eye … it's his lady love from last night, Catherine. Catherine looks up and also notices Mark. Both are staring at each other not hearing anything Gil is saying and trying to figure out why the other is there.

Gil has stopped speaking and everyone is getting up and going to do their assigned cases. Except for Catherine who is walking towards Mark. "So you're the new guy?" Catherine asks Mark.

Smiling Mark responds, "Guess so." Mark and Catherine are locked in each other's eyes once again.

Gil turns to Mark and Catherine and says, "Oh good you two are getting acquainted, I have a feeling you two will be working together a lot. I think you two will produce a lot of positive results together."

At that moment Archie walks up and shakes Mark's hand. "Nice to finally meet you in person. Why don't I show you the AV lab and you can start to get settled in?"

Mark looks at Archie, "Sounds great."

Catherine touches Mark's shoulder, "We'll talk later, ok?"

"Sure," Mark replies smiling at Catherine.

Catherine and Gil walk out together to get started on a case leaving Archie and Mark alone in the break room.

Archie looks at Mark in amazement, "You are one lucky man, Catherine touches your shoulder on the first day. I had to wait until I found her some really good AV evidence for that to happen."

Mark chuckles, "Yeah what can I say must be some kind of Vegas luck."

Archie and Mark walk out of the break room towards the AV lab.
