LAS VEGAS 2005

Deagonna stopped in front of a door that read 'Dr. Gil Grissom' This was her new boss. She took a couple deep breaths before knocking on the door. "Come in," a voice said. She opened the door and closed it after she walked in. "ah, you must be Deagonna Wiley then?" The man behind the desk said. "Please, have a seat." She then took a seat in front of his desk. Gil Grissom's office was… interesting to say the least. It was obvious that he was a bug person. "I am Gil Grissom, the night shift manager."

"It's nice to meet you, Mr. Grissom." She was nervous. Well, it wasn't like an interview. She already had the job.

"Now that introductions are out of the way, I'll be giving you your first case here. It is a homicide out in Henderson. You will tagging along with-" There was a knock at the door. "Come in."

"Grissom, I have the trace analysis on that Jane Doe." This man seemed to be in his late thirties, with light eyes and salt and pepper hair. He reminded Deagonna of Detective Lassiter. Hopefully this man wasn't a creep like him.

"Thank you, Hodges." The file he needed was handed to him before he added, "oh, Hodges, I need you to do something for me. I need you to take Deagonna here to Nick. They're working a case." Deagonna took that as her cue to leave.

"Thank you again, Mr. Grissom." Deagonna said before following the man out. She turned her head to him and said, "Are you a tech?"

"How did you guess?"

Deagonna gave a small laugh before giving her reasons. "You're wearing a tech coat and you don't have the vests like the CSIs wear." She then added "your name is Hodges, right?"

"David Hodges, actually. You are?"

"Deagonna Spen- Wiley, I mean." Hodges gave her a confused look.

"Confused with your last name?" She didn't really want to explain it. She just shook her head and he knew what it meant. When they walked down the hallway, a young man, about Deagonna's age, with kind of spiky hair, blonde tips and dark hair passed them.

"Who was that?" She asked. Hodges scoffed before explaining.

"That's just Greg. He's trying to be a CSI. He used to be our DNA Tech."

"He annoys you?" She raised an eyebrow in curiosity.

"It's almost like you're psychic. I swear to God." She gave a small chuckle. Of course, that comment made her think of Shawn. This decision was more difficult than she thought it would be. After they turned a corner, they were stopped by a dark haired young man. "Deagonna, this is Nick. Nick, this is Deagonna. You guys are working some case." It seemed like Hodges couldn't really care less right now. He turned to walk away.

Deagonna then said, "Thanks, Hodges." She then turned and looked at Nick. "Our case is out in Henderson. Grissom didn't give me the address." Nick gave a small laugh.

"It's okay. I've got it. We better get going. I'll drive. On the way, we can get to know each other."

Deagonna probably wasn't ready for that.
