Eliz sat on the couch in the break room between Sara and Greg. She was quiet she didn't know what to say. Here were two people making a real effort to try and make her feel better or as better as you can feel after family has died. "Thank you Sara," said Eliz, it was the only thing she could think of to say.
"For what?" asked Sara.
"For standing up for me... I guess... I mean I wasn't thinking straight and what Andrew did wasn't exactly the right thing to do I guess, so thanks again."
"Eliz it wasn't a problem. In my opinion Andrew needed to be set in place, it wasn't his right to put you in such a predicament," said Sara.
Eliz gave Sara a weak smile when her phone began to ring she looked down at the caller id. "I have to take this excuse me," said Eliz who got up and went to the corner of the break room to talk to who was ever on the other line.
Greg also got up from the couch. "Sara, I'll be back shortly I have to go talk to someone," said Greg and left the break room.
Sara nodded her head and looked back toward Eliz. She saw Eliz flip her phone shut and turn towards her. In that moment Sara saw the most crest fallen look she had seen in her many years of seeing grief of those people who had just lost someone close to them. "Eliz what's wrong?" asked Sara gently.
"My... my moms passed away. She's gone Sara because of me because I enformed her that Erin was dead. My moms dead. If it was me she'd still be alive she didn't care about me like she cared about Erin. Wh..why couldn't have been me instead."
"Shhhh Eliz don't think like that. This isn't your fault why would a mother play favorites she would love you both equally wouldn't she?"
"You don' t mother," replied Eliz.

Greg was walking down the halls in search for Andrew Hickcock. He saw Oliver Limbaugh and Andrew in the locker room. Andrew looked as if he was trying to explain himself to Oliver but Oliver was just ignoring him. Greg stepped in and cleared his throat. Both men looked up at him. "Excuse me Detective Limbaugh may I talk to Mister Hickcock for a moment?" asked Greg.
"Of course. Take all the time you need. I have the rest of my career in Seattle to be with him," said Oliver.
Greg stepped out of the doorway to let Oliver pass and than turned back to Hickcock. Greg shifted on his feet. "Mister Hickcock I know this may not be the best time to approach you with this, but maybe you can give Eliz her transfer,"
"Young man I decided not to transfer Elizabeth Craig for a purpose she's needs more experience she's a level two. I transferred her sister because Erin was a level three. Maybe in a few years if she still wants a transfer than sure. What would you know you're only a level one," replied Hickcock.
"In a few years there may not be a position open and to my understanding sir, Erin Craig never wanted a transfer so why would you force someone to transfer when they never wanted to. And another thing Mister Hickcock. Don't you think that having Eliz work in a whole new environment, new surrounding will help gain more experience because than she could know how to process in different climate's different situations that one wouldn't normally know working in the same area their whole lives," said Greg.
"You make a strong point," replied Andrew. He cast his eyes downward as if in thought. He than looked back up at Greg. "I'll set he paper work in order. I suppose a transfer would be in the best interest of all. It will be hard for to stay in Seattle anyways with all she's lost. As her current supervisor I was told not to long ago that her mother's past away as well. All she never had to many people she could be close with, but her sister was one of them now I'm afraid the only people she has left is her cousin and one of her uncles neither who live in Seattle," Andrew let out a heavy sigh. "Anyways I best be off. I have to get back to Seattle as soon as possible."
Andrew started to walk away but Greg stopped him for a brief moment. "Mister Hickcock, may I suggest to only transfer her if she still wants the transfer."
"Of course Mister Sanders. You seem to care about the people around you and I don't know if it could be do to recent events," said Andrew referring to Greg's arm, "But it's a good quality to have with are jobs as long as we don't get to emotionally involved. I have a feeling you'll make a good CSI. You're lucky to be part of such a dedicated crime lab." with that Andrew Hickcock left the Las Vegas Crime Lab pulling out his cell phone as he went.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was hours later and Eliz with the help of the Las Vegas crime lab and set the arraignments in place to get her sisters body back to Seattle. Members of the Graveyard shift along with Nick stood with Eliz at the airport ready to say their goodbyes. Eliz walked over to Nick first she gave the strongest smile she could muster up. "Thank you Mister Stokes, for informing me about my sister and being their during one of my break downs in the morgue."
"It wasn't a problem Eliz and we'll see you soon."
"Yeah," she replied. She than turned to Sara. "Thank you for your support and I don't only me what you did when you stood up to Andrew the whole deal about my mother too."
"Of course," Sara said giving off a small smile.
Eliz than turned to Greg. "Greg there's just to mich to thank you for. You were their when I was upset. You helped support me by putting yourself out there when the events of what's happened to you are so close still. And thank you for convincing Andrew to transfer me. I see you in a couple of weeks I guess."
Greg saw a sparkle of hope in her eyes despite the tears that were still looming in the corners. "You're welcome Eliz and I know that no matter how hard I try to help you to feel better, it will also take time to get over the hard spots of not having that person along the way. Grieving is just a part we all have to go through, but as long as they have good friends and support I believe that, that person will be okay. I know my friends here are helping me get through my cousin's death and we'll do the same for you," said Greg.
Greg and Eliz enveloped in a hug as a small tear fell down Eliz's face as Greg had a tear of his own fall down his. Eliz pulled out of the hug. She than turned to Grissom, "Thank you Mister Grissom for finding who killed my sister and for persuading your assistant director to allow me on to your team."
"You're welcome Miss. Craig. There might be a few adjustment by the time you get back. Conrad has been slowly getting to the paper work to put some people back on Grave, but I happy to have on the team and look forward to your return in a couple of weeks," replied Grissom.
Eliz smiled an actual smile. She did not feel herself force it out it was just there. These people truly made her feel happy that she actually already belonged to the team that they cared about her. She gave out a small sigh. "Well I better get going my plane should be leaving soon and I don't want to miss it, but thanks again all of you and if you could thank the others for me that would be great," she said she waved goodbye then turned and left towards the security gate.
The four CSIs Greg, Grissom, Sara, and Nick stood and watched the young Elizabeth Craig walk off into the crowd of many other people. "Well that was different having Seattle in Vegas wasn't it," said Greg.
"It was defiantly different and we can only hope a case like this never happens again. When will people learn that messing with law enforcement is not a smart move on their part," said Nick.
A/N: Tada! I know it's sorta of a cheesy ending, but not really. it's just sorta odd, but please inform me on what you thought sense this is the last chapter. Thanks to all those who have been reviewing and all those who will review. StoryDreamer
