The New Guy

Okay I don't own George Eads, but I wish I did.
he is owned by some dude in holly wood

“Slabaugh, Max S.” Said Gilbert Grissom head of the Night shift of the CSI. “He is twenty-two just got out of college he also

worked at the South Bend Crime Lab and it says his area of expertise is wounds and bullet deflection” “What…How do we get all the

college kids?” asked Nick Stokes “Oh by the way “Nicky” he will be working with you and Greg and I think the teams are now”

Grissom looked at a piece of paper “Myself and Cathrine, Warrick and Sarah, and Nicky, Greg and now Max Slabaugh.”

“Hey Griss, how come I always get the newbies?” asked Nick “Because Nick, you are the only person that complains about

them so that is why you get stuck with them” said Grissom, as he said that young man with brown hair spiked up and wearing a

blue pinstrip long sleeve button down silk shirt and blue jeans walked in with a messenger style backpack. “Hi, is one of you Gil

Grissom?” the young man asked “Yes that would be me” said Grissom, “and who might you be?” “I am Max Slabaugh I just

arrived and they told me to find you” he said “Good”, said Grissom “This is your manager Nick Stokes, but we all call him “Nicky”.

“The tall woman with red hair is Cathrine Willows and the Shorter brown haired woman is Sarah Sidle, the guy with the afro is

Warrick Brown and the guy that looks a lot like you with the spikes is Greg Sanders” said Grissom “Okay guys we have a long night

Nick, Greg and Max are going to 5943 West Pointe road we have a triple murder there, while Cathrine and I go to the airport to

oversee the excavation of a body a dog found at a routine emergency drill, Warrick and Sarah, you two are taking Brass to 54345

East Clay Road to investigate a hit and run” said grissom handing out the assignments.

“Okay, we are going to split up, newb, you take the 3rd story which is the site of the first body, the body of a teenager, like

your self. Greggo you can take the ground level and basement were the second body was found, and I got the yards were the third

body was found.” Said Nick, like he was the head CSI. “Hey Greg,” said Max “why do I have the feeling that Nick doesn’t like me?”

“Nick doesn’t like any one that joined right after college” said Greg “HEY GREG,NEWB GET TO WORK, I AM ON THE CLOCK” shouted

Nick, “Are you sure he doesn’t like me?” asked Max.

When Max got to the room he went to work and saw that the body had several bullet hole wounds, but no bullet casings.

“HEY NEWB GET DOWN HERE NOW AND ONLY TAKE WHAT IS IMPORTANT” shouted Nick from downstairs, so Max grabbed his field

kit, and ran. “Why the hell did you just get me out of there, the guy didn’t even find a time of death yet!!!”

Max shouted, “Because, Newb, I have to make sure we stay safe, but if you want that house to blow up with you in it, go the fuck

ahead” shouted Nick, “What is going on here?” said a voice, they all turned around to see that Grissom had arrived as Nick had

said “go the fuck ahead” “Nicky I am surprised at you cursing at a rookie, and sitting outside of a crime scene” said Grissom

“Listen Griss, I was acting on the safety of my team and “the Newb” decided that he wanted to go back in that house with an active

bomb.” Said Nick. “What” shouted Max, “He didn’t say there was an active bomb in there all he said was “HEY NEWB GET DOWN

HERE NOW AND ONLY TAKE WHAT IS IMPORTANT” and it thought he just wanted to leave early so I got angry, firstly because of that

and secondly because he keeps calling me “Newb”. “Greg, you’ve been very quite about all this what do you think?” asked

Grissom, “I think Nick and Max need to spend some quality time together on this case and I would work with you” “Sorry Greg, but

you can’t, Catherine and I have to do this to pass a Supervisor Proficiency Test so you need to stay with them, but since apparently

I can’t leave Nicky alone with rookies with out a WWE Smack Down occurring Greg you are in charge.” Said Grissom. “Okay”, said

Greg, “since there was no actual bomb…” “What” said Nick, “Bomb Squad reported that it was a toy grenade”said Greg “Okay since

Grissom always has us tape the crime scene and where the body layed we can go back but we need to start in the back yard were

the second body was found we can go collect the evidence.” Said Greg. “Okay Greggo” said Nick “Hey Max”, said Nick sarcastically

“your specialty is bullet wounds, right” “No, my speciality is bullet deflection and wounds” Max snapped “Fine, I was just tryin’ to

lighten the mood” Nick snapped back “STOP JEEZ, THIS IS TOO MUCH, MAX YOU TAKE THE FAR LEFT CORNER WITH THE BODY AND

THE BULLETS SO YOU CAN USE YOUR SPECIALITY, NICK YOU TAKE THE RIGHT CORNER, NEAR THE GATE AND I GOT EVERYWHERE

ELSE!” commanded Greg “Hey Greg, if this crime scene was only supposed to have three bodies, one upstairs, one downstairs and

one in the yard, but there are two bodies out here two inside and if my math is right that is four.” Said Max looking nervous

“Nick…Nicky call Sarah, tell her Brass needs to get here now, Max found a fourth body and, it looks like a child.” Greg told Nick

“Max, what weapon wounds have you found?” Greg asked. “Okay, on the upstairs body I found 12 gauge shot gun bullet wounds,

but I didn’t find and shot gun bullet casings, on the child’s body there were several lacerations on the fifth and sixth ribs, and I

haven’t checked other bodies.” Said Max, “Okay since we have finished with these two bodies let’s go to the other two” said Nick.

As soon as they got in the house and got a call from Grissom and had to leave.

At the lab Max saw that his forensics vest had arrived along with his old kit from Indiana with a note from his old boss Vince

Viola the note said:



As he read this Max suddenly remebered he had to get “Oh crap” said Max as he ran to his kit, as he franticly searched his

kit Nick walked up behind him, “Hey Newb” he said, “HOLY SHIT” Max shouted knocking over his kit and everything else, “whoa

sorry, listen you know I am sorry for the whole crime scene thing, oh just so you know we all go out to dinner, and the newb always

buys.” Said Nick, “Actually I can’t I have to go through my old kit to…” Max began, “That can wait, everyone wants to see you, and

find out how your first day went.” Said Nick pulling Max away from his kit. “So Max how did you like it here?” asked Sarah “Well, so

far I haven’t had time to figure out what I think about this new lab.” Max admitted. “Well about this case, Greg says you found a

fourth body in plain view that wasn’t there before.” Says Cathrine “Huh, oh yeah, listen I got to get back to the lab.” Said Max

“What you just got here.” Said Warrick, “Yeah Max you have to stay.” Said Greg. “I can’t I left something that is very very very

very very important in that kit.” Said Max.

At the lab Max frantically searched through his original kit looking for something “where is it oh come on where is it, I know it

is in here”, “Hey whatcha lookin’ for?” asked Nick who had apperentally just walked in with a cup of coffee, “you do know what time

it is right?” “N-n-n-no” Max yawned, “it is 5:30 in the morning” said Nick, “When I left your truck was still here so I got a little

worried and at about 1:00 I drove by to get to Micky D’s and I saw your car so I waited because I thought you were analyzing your

case but after a couple hours I started to get worried. So not only did I get to Mickey D’s, but I also bought you a coffee and an

egg mcmuffin.” Said Nick. “Thanks, listen when you came in earlier did you see a silver colored watch probably beeping?” asked

Max, “Sorry can’t help you there.” Said Nick “Nick, you are here pretty early, who’s that” said a voice “Oh, hi Eckley, this is the new

recruit from, Indiana, Max Slabaugh, Max this is Conrad Eckley, second in command here.” Said Nick “Max nice too meet you, you

probably don’t know yet, but I look for the best of the best in my lab.” Eckley said. “Oh Conrad nice of you to be on time for work

for once” said a deep voice, “Max this is Cory Stevens, he is the director of the lab.” “Oh so you are Max, I have talked to your

previous director, Vincette Viola, and he gave me several complements about you. He said you solved several cases and that you

gave every one credit when he knew you solved it.” Said the Director. “So Nicky what are you doing here so early?” asked Eckley,

“Well, at about 1:00 in the morning I decided to get some Mickey D’s so I had to drive by the lab and I saw Max’s truck and when

I left the lab at 10:00 it was still there, so I waited and after about three hours I got worried. So I decieded to come in and see if

Max was alright.” Said Nick. “Eckley can I see you in my office” said the Director, “Sure” said Eckley.


At the lab, Max and Nick began talking about their lives. “Well I am the youngest of six, my brother’s a doctor, my oldest

sister is a lawyer, my second oldest sister is a dentist, my third oldest sister is a brain surgeon, and my fourth oldest sister is a

rocket scientist.” Said Nick, “What about you?” “I’m the middle child, my older brother is a print director at a place in Indiana, and

my younger sister is just about to graduate high school, and my sister-in-law, is a vet.” Said Max, “Hey, Nicky, Maxi” said Warrick

who had just sat down, “what are y’all talkin’ ‘bout?” “Families” said Nick “So where are you from Warrick?” asked Max “from right

here in Las Vegas, but I don’t have any relatives that live around here.” Said Warrick. “Hey Max, we need to got to the morgue to

watch the autopsy.” Said Greg, “Oh, do I have to, I hate autopsies.” Said Max. “I made a small incision and retrieved the

bullets, but it looked like the bullets hit something and smashed up the front end of them.” Said Dr. Robbins. “MAX, GREG!!”

called Nick “WHERE IS THE BOX FOR THIS CASE!!”, “RIGHT WHERE IS SHOULD BE, ON THE LAYOUT TABLE.” Max called back. “Well

it’s not here.” Said Nick. “WHAT ARE YOU FUCKIN’ SERIOUS!!!!” shouted Max “I left it right on the table” “There’s a note.”

Sanders, Slaybalough, and Stokes-

- You know me and I know you, if you ever want to solve this case you are to meet me at the “5 Aces” casino in uniform, 3 hours

after 4:00 p.m. with $10,000 in $100 dollar bills.

A Friend.

“Where is the 5 Aces?” Max asked, “You mean where was the 5 Aces, it was demolished 3 weeks before you got here,” said Nick,

“that’s why I think I should go.” “Nick, no,” said Max, “you can’t, you could get killed, if you go at least take Brass, or someone.”

“To bad I have the most seniority so I have to do it, besides this is my case.” Said Nick. And with that he went to his locker.

“Greg, call Brass, tell him to meet me at the old five aces,” said Max, “tell him to use an unmarked squad car, and I will be in my

red dodge pickup.” “Max you can’t go alone, you could get shot, or worse killed.” Said Greg “Which is why you guys can’t go

anywhere” said Nick, “listen this guy knows who I am”, “This guy knows who all of us are.” Said Max “which is why you aren’t going

alone.” “We are a team and the word team isn’t spelled t-e-I-m.” said Max. “To bad I am going alone.” Said Nick, “Fine” said

Max. Nick the went to his car got in and left. “Well I had better be off, Brass will wonder were I’m at” said Max, “You can’t be

serious, did you not just hear what he said besides you could get fired” said Greg. “To bad, I will risk my job, to save a colleague.”

Said Max. So he got in his truck and went down in the direction of the old Five Aces. When he got there, he saw that Brass’s car

wasn’t there, “Oh well,” said Max “I’ll just go in alone.”


When Max entered the building he saw two utterly unbearable sites, the first was Nick on the floor either unconscience or

dead bleeding and Eckley with a gun near Max’s head. “Hello Maxwell,” said Eckley maniacally, “aren’t you going to ask me why I

shot Nicholas????” “First of all my name is Max and I was getting to that, now so you are the reason Nick is…Is…Is…” started Max,

but he couldn’t finish his sentence “Yes and Nicholas isn’t dead just unconscience, he tried to stop me and I shot him.” For some

reason Max couldn’t put two and two together. “You, stole the evidence, but why?” asked Max “Because, I got fired and when I was

told to clear out my desk, and I found out we use the same desk clean out boxes as case boxes I simply put my name over the

original name, because I knew you three would also get fired." said Eckley. “Oh really, because Brass will be here soon” said Max,

no sooner had the words left his lips then Brass enter the old casino, "FREEZE ECKLEY!" shouted brass “You’ll have to catch me first

Jim” said Eckley. Max ran as fast as he could to grab him and pull him down. Max then ran with his own gun to Eckley’s temple

to Brass, “Max, don’t do it, you could

get arrested, I will take Eckley to the station and you take Nick to the hospital the others are waiting for you.” Said Brass looking

solemn. Max went to Nick’s unmoving body and picked him up and took him to the hospital.

“Max, you could have gotten yourself killed.” Said Grissom “risking yourselves for evidence how foolish is that.”

“Max…are…you…listening…to…us…have…you…heard…anything…we…just…said?” said someone and with that Max knew no more.

“Max…Max…MAX, Grissom, GRISSOM, get the medics, Max is out.” Said Someone


“What happened to me?” Max asked himself when he woke up about 2 days later, “you had a bullet in your back that you

didn’t notice which is why when we were talking to you, you fainted.” Said a voice, “well good mornin’ to you sunshine, been

wonderin’ when you were gonna wake up.” Said a voice with a Texan accent “Nick?” said Max groggily “That’s right can you see us?”

“I can’t see anything” said Max, “Well everyone’s here Grissom and Catherine, and Sarah, and Warrick and Greg.” Said Nick, “Nick,

I didn’t find the evidence” said Max “Oh Max that’s not even important right now,” than Max’s eyes started to realize what was

shadow and started to see the shadows of Grissom and Sarah, and Catherine and Warrick and Greg and Nick, but Nick what sitting

down for some reason. “What’s important is that you’re alive.” “But I got there too late, you were already unconscience and I

thought you were…Were…Were…” said Max “Shhh” said Nick “I couldn’t leave you” Grissom noticing the connection “Max I think

Nick should have a roommate for about 4 weeks, do you think you can handle it?” “Grissom?? Are you crazy, two people, two csi’s,

both in wheelchairs…” started Sarah, but getting a look from Grissom as though he didn’t want Max to know he was to be in a wheel

chair, stopped. “I agree, two wounded CSI are better then one.” Said Sarah. “So it’s settled Nick will move into Max’s apartment

when they are released and will still work but in the lab and doing whatever task is assigned to them.” Said Grissom.


“Hey Nick, can I talk to you, Greg, Griss, Sarah, Cat, Warrick, why don’t you guys go get some lunch.” Said Max “Yeah.” Said

Nick, “Why did you call me sunshine?” asked Max, “Because, I was worried about you.” Said Nick, “That’s not all Nick.” Said Max,

“Okay, it is because I…I…I love you. I love you okay, it is so hard to tell anyone I tried to other Newbi’s but they laughed at me

and called me, “queer” and “fag”, that was why I was so cruel to you on the first day, because I thought you would do the same

thing to me as the other Newbi’s, but then I found out that you respect people for who they are.” Said Nick. Max’s eyes began to

well up with tears “Listen, the reason I said that I couldn’t leave you is I want to be with you forever. “Nick, I love you.” Said Max

crying.


When they were released Nick moved 4 weeks worth of clothes and Greg pushed his wheelchair, “Hey thanks Greggo.” Said

Nick. “Good mornin’ Max” said Nick, “Good morning Nicky” said Max “so we’ve got like 1 week before we have to go to work what

do ya wanna do?” “I don’t know, but Greg tried to take me to work, but I wouldn’t let him, and we could always go to a Texas

Rodeo, then go to a down home Texas Bar-be-que.” Said Nick, “Oh I have actually never been to a Rodeo.” Max admitted. “What,

then we’re gonna have to change that now aren’t we. Here’s what we gonna do; we’re gonna go to my place and get you a

traditional cowboy uniform, and then we will go to the Rodeo and finally the bbq.” Said Nick “Really, thank you so much.” Said Max.


Both Nick and Max both had a good time at the Rodeo, Nick was trying to get Max to understand the importance of the rodeo

on Texas culture “it was and still is a way for people to get together and converse.” Said Nick “Watch it pansy boy.” Said a big man

who looked as though he could take Max and Nick down at the same time. “You know what, why don’t you back off” said Nick,

“You and your boyfriend gonna make me.” Said the guy, “You know why don’t you go back to the vodka bottle you crawled out of”

said Max suddenly “Oh so the dominitive do speak.” The guy said “Oh he did not just call me a bottom, fuck you.” Said Max, “Oh,

you’d like that now wouldn’t you.” Said the guy “Gentle men, is there a problem?” said the manager “No, sir this kind gentle man

was directing us to an authentic Texas bbq.” Nick lied.


After the Rodeo, Nick and Max went to a bbq in mid-Las Vegas. “Hi my name is Brook, and I will be your server, how may I

help you?” asked the server “Yeah, we’d like to order drinks, I’ll have a Budweiser.” Said Nick, “I’ll have a Miller Light.” Said Max,

“Sorry we don’t have miller light, besides are you even old enough to drink.” Said the server “I am twenty-two, and I’ll have a Bud

Light.” Said Max “Ok.” Said the server, “Max, when we were, talking about families, you never told me about your parents.” Said

Nick, “My dad is in the process of his medical degree, and my mother and I lost contact after I moved out in my senior year of high

school, actually now that I think of it I haven’t talked to anyone in my family since this incident” said Max “Why don’t you talk to

her anymore?” asked Nick “Simply she said something’s in the first quarter of my senior year and I told her that I’d had enough

and I went to go stay with a co-worker who lived a street away while I went to look for a house.” Said Max “What about your

parents”, my mom is a Martha Stuart zombie, and my dad is a judge back home.” Said Nick “At least your mom respects your

sexuality, mine is the reason I haven’t been home in 5 years.” Said Max, “Here are your drinks and are you ready to order.” Said

the server “Um… Yes, I’ll have the pulled pork sandwich, and my colleague will have the beef brisket.” Said Nick “I will?” said Max.

“Okay, and why do you think I left home, to get a life of my own? No to get away from my mother!” said Nick, “You think your

mother is bad, my mother is a bitch, she always called me a “pansy ass bitch”.” Said Max “My mother would barely let me touch

her, I couldn’t even shake her hand at church without her shouting at me, so I stopped going to church.” Said Nick. “My mother,

forced me to tell every one of my relatives, so I only see my mother on Christmas and Easter.” Said Nick, “I don’t even go back

for Christmas, I haven’t been back home since I was 18.” Said Max. “Okay who had the beef brisket,” Max raised his hand, “then

I take it you’ve got the pulled pork.” Said The server. “So what, you don’t even bother going home for Christmas.” Said Nick,

“Nicky, I don’t even send them Christmas cards anymore.” Said Max as he ate a forkful of beef. “So let me get this straight

you’ve not seen your family in 4 years.” Said Nick, “I haven’t been in Indiana except for work in 4 years, I moved to Michigan,”

said Max, “and now I know why I haven’t eaten beef in four years.”




Max and Nick then both went home so they could call Grissom, to tell him that they would be at work tomorrow, “sorry guys, you

can’t come to work tomorrow, you can come the day after tomorrow.” Said Nick imitating Grissom, “Nicky I have to go to Symphony

but if you want to go you can go with me.” Said Max, “I can’t I have to go…Meet Greg?” said Nick uncertainly, “No you don’t Nick, we

are a couple now, so if you lie I can tell, now why don’t you come see use, we are doing American Folk Songs, I think, you will enjoy

this.” Said Max, “I…I…Are we really a couple?” asked Nick, “Yes Nicky we are, which is why I want to come to the rehearsal with me.”

Said Max “I really don’t want to, I have to go pick Greg up.” Said Nick, “Fine, I’ll see you back here in two hours.” Said Max, “Max,”

said Nick causing Max to look over “I love you.” “I love you too.” Said Max.


When Max got home Nick was in Max’s kitchen, “Hey, Max what are you doing here?” Nick asked while reading a recipe book

and stirring a red sauce, “Nick, honey, I own this apartment, that is why I am here, and…” Max suddenly smelled something like

burning eggplants “are you trying to cook vegetarian???” asked Max, “What, no of course not I am a…” started Nick, “Then why do

I smell burning eggplants.” Said Max “Oh crap, listen I am so sorry, I tried to make you dinner, but I am no good at cooking

vegetarian.” Nick confessed, “Listen, that’s ok, we can cook dinner together.” Said Max, “But I wanted to cook dinner on my own as

a sign of our first day together alone.” Nick said starting to cry, “It’s okay, I’ll just tell you what to do.” Max started, “No I want to

do this alone.” Nick said, “Fine, I’ll be on the couch just in case.” Said Max who was very tired.


“Max, honey, wake up you need to get in your own bed it is very very late you need to get in your own bed.” Whispered Nick.

“Bloobo Tubba” said Max groggily. “Fine, I guess I will just have to take you to your bed myself” Nick said with a smile. With that

he took max to his room and went to his dresser and thought that he would just go through his drawers when he found that they

were labeled. “Man, is he organized.” Thought Nick, but when he got in his drawer labeled “Undies” he saw labeled Boxer brief,

Brief, White, Blue, Red, Pink, and Turquoise and every other color imaginable, except he didn’t see any boxers, so he just decided

to put Max in a red pair of Boxer Briefs, and a pair of flannel pants. Nick then when to put his pajama pants on and get in bed with

Max, where Max almost immediately put his hand over Nick.


“Nicky, Nicky, wake up we have to go to work, Grissom is short handed and we need to be there in less than an hour.” Said Max,

“Just five more minutes.” Nick Groaned “I’m going to tell you the same thing my dad told me when I was a child ‘Get your ass

outta bed damn it’” said Max. “Fine, can we at least take a shower?” Nick asked, “Sure.” Said Max getting an idea, “You know we

can do some fooling around since we are a couple you know……..” said Nick, “Well first of all three rules,” Nick didn’t look to happy

about rules “1, no anal penetration until later, 2 no chastising me about my size, and 3 remember I love you”. Max said as Nick

began removing his pants, and Max seeing his semi-hard 10 incher, Max got a little nervous, “You know maybe we should just get

to work and do this some other……” Max began, “You are self conscience aren’t you, listen I am only 12 inches hardest, and you

are what 10 inches at full fuck.” Nick said, causing Max to blush hard. “Okay, lets do it. ” Said Max, stripping and getting into the

shower, while Nick washed both of them Max began sucking Nick’s now completely hard, “OOOOOOOOOOOOOOH

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK” Nick shouted while shooting his load, as he did this however, the phone began to ring.

“Hold on” Nick said, “Oh, let the machine get it.” Said Max “I can’t.” said Nick, “Hello, Max Slabaugh residence, who may I ask is

speaking?” he said talkin in to the phone, “Okay I’ll get him for you.” Nick said, “It’s for you some guy named Andrew.”, “Oh My

god. Hello, hi Andie, yes I know you hate that name but you have to remember, I haven’t seen you since my freshman year at

CHS.” Said Max “I know Max, I went there too,” said Andrew, “But the real reason I called is there is going to be a reunion for the

classes of 2005, 2006,2007,2008, and 2009.” “Okay, thanks I’ll see if I can make it, bye.” Max said, hanging up the phone.

“Who was that?” Nick asked sounding jealous. “I went to high school with him, and I used to date him,” Max admitted, “he was

three and a half years older than me.” “Okay…..shit we got to get to work, we takin’ your truck or my SUV?” Nick asked, “My truck.”

Max said shortly.


At the lab Greg was shouting at Grissom, when Sara walked in causing Sara to shout, “Gregory Maverick Sanders, don’t every yell at

your supervisors,” which made Greg shout, “Fuck you Sara Elizabeth Siddle.”, “Hey Greg, what is up, why are you yellin’ at Sar?” Nick asked
