Disclaimer: I don't own anything.

I've decided to add to this one shot more might follow so be on the lookout for them. Spoilers for the newest episode. Enjoy.

I'm starting to like it here.

I may still be the new girl on the team, but it is not as awkward as before.

She is not as testy and a part of me wonders why.

Then again I found a cure for my nosy nature…Well its not really being nosy but still it can get annoying at times. And I don't want to be annoying…someone already holds that title and I don't want to go and take it away from him…It wouldn't be fair.

I got to work with Greg Sanders today. He is something else. He's like that cool kid you always wanted to be friends with in high school…then again he probably wasn't "cool" in high school. Yeah high school can be harsh.

No more so than the case I got tonight. A real mob hit. My first one. It brought me back to why I didn't become an archeologist…I had other interests, forensics in particular to drive me away from the unstoppable heat and dirt.

Funny how I ended up enduring the heat and shifting through dirt. Is that irony?

All in all, I'd say this was a good night for me and judging from Sara's more cheerful attitude I'd say the same for her.

I heard from some techs that…it's funny how lab techs are always the ones to spill the beans about something they hear, go figure. Anyway I heard that the reason Sara switched shifts was because she was involved in a relationship with her previous supervisor, Mr. Grissom.

I have yet to meet him face to face, but I've heard only good things about him, mostly from Sara.

Gossip aside, I'd bet my Elvis memorabilia that her chipper mood was because of a certain supervisor.

I wonder what it could be…I could ask.

But asking questions really didn't help before.

My dad used to tell me that the only ones that were allowed to ask questions were cops and hiring agents…any others were just plain nosy.

My dad is old fashioned that way.

But you won't catch me calling him that to his face.

Not if I want to get the good piece of turkey for thanksgiving.

In a family of eight…it's a big deal.

Anyways…its been eventful in Las Vegas, home of the optimistic and pessimistic as my younger brother, Mike, said when he learned about my decision to move down to the city surrounded by desert.

My brother is …well I don't know how to describe him exactly.

Getting back to…

"Hey, Ronnie. What are you up to?" Ronnie looks up from her laptop and finds Hodges lurking in the doorway.

"Um…nothing. Just taking a break this is the break room, right?" She says shutting the laptop.

"Funny, don't let Sara catch you joking on the job. She's kind of a stickler for the rules."

"If you say so." She says then mumbles under her breath the words "Mr. Annoying"

"How about you take time out of your busy schedule of emailing Mr. Fabulous and help me with a few things?"

"I'm a CSI not your personal intern." She opens her laptop and starts to type.

"Please."

"Fine since you asked so nicely." Ronnie follows Hodges in the direction of the Trace lab.

Her mistake was leaving her laptop there in a lab full of nosy people because when she returned a new sentence had been left on her screen

I was cool in high school for your information, but I won't hold it against you since it seems like we are at an agreement about Hodges …he can really be annoying sometimes or is it all the time?

Hope you liked it and sorry if I confused you in the change of tense. I wanted her thoughts in this chapter and in the previous one to be thoughts that Ronnie was actually typing in her laptop. Please review and let me know what you think. I'm open to any constructive criticism. It helps too. Make this writer happy and write a review.

Until Next Time,
