OOM: The Crime Lab

[gris_bug_man]

The lab is always busy even during relatively "calm" periods. The sights and sounds of technicians frantically scurrying from one location to the other is almost soothing to the experienced criminalist.

One such criminalists strides through the door into his domain, a stranger following at his heels.

Welcome to the crime lab, Tony Almeida.

Cue 20 minutes of excited rambling and proposed hypotheses. When the two men leave the room, Ronnie almost bouncing with excitement, Grissom smirks. "I enjoy it when a case falls together with minimal trouble."

"Saves a lot of headaches and the added expense of tylenol, right?"

[gris_bug_man]

"Not to mention the coffee supply. You haven't seen Sara without it yet, I believe."

[iwasalevel6.livejournal.com]

"I don't know. I've seen her around the bar sleeping a lot."

[gris_bug_man]

"Hmmm." Privately he decides to speak to her about that later.

"Think you can stomach an autopsy?"

[iwasalevel6.livejournal.com]

Tony stares, his face going a little pale. "I guess."

[gris_bug_man]

"Tony, you have nothing to prove to me. We can observe an autopsy another time if you would prefer."

[iwasalevel6.livejournal.com]

Some part of him deflates in relief, not embarassment. "That's fine," he says gratefully

Blame it on the same machoism that drove him to become a Marine to "prove himself."

[gris_bug_man]

"It can be distressing even for those of us accustomed to them," he says calmly. "Don't worry about it for now."

They continue on to Ballistics, arriving in time to watch Bobbie test three guns.

Tony's reaction to this may be surmized as 'OMG AWESOME!'

One never can separate a boy from his toys.

[gris_bug_man]

Grissom's reaction to Tony's reaction can be described as 'amused'. Yes. Amused is a good adjective.

The normally placid technician is absolutely beside himself with the prospect of showing off, and inquires whether or not Tony would like to shoot the .50 Glock.

[iwasalevel6.livejournal.com]

"Yeah," he says in lieu of saying absolutely.

[gris_bug_man]

The gun is handed over without ceremony and Bobbie directs him to an empty tank.

Tony has handled a gun like this before. Several time before, to be exact. Still, familiarity didn't make handling a gun any less exhillerating to Tony, and he readily tested it with expert marksmanship.

[gris_bug_man]

"You will have no trouble with the firearms proficiency test," Grissom says, nodding in approval. Bobbie retrieves the gun, giving Tony an understanding grin. We love our toys.

"DNA does much of the same work as Trace, so I don't think there is truly a need to go by there," Grissom comments after they leave the area. "What do you think? Is this something you would like to explore?"

[iwasalevel6.livejournal.com]

He nods. "Yeah. It's close enough to what I did, it'd j ust require some more training, I think."

[gris_bug_man]

"I'll find out that information for you," he offers. "And I do think you would be a tremendous asset to our lab. And to my team."

[iwasalevel6.livejournal.com]

He grinned. "Thanks."
