CSI Fanfic: Parenthetical

Character sketch of Detective Vartann; his life is more complex than it seems

This was written in a reponse to a free writing prompt "Write for 20 minutes (without editing) in any style: using "Parenthetical" as the title. (Be divergent.)" This is what I came up with (although I did edit it somewhat after the first draft) and while the first paragraph might refer to any number of fictional tv cops, the rest is based on what might be I imagine Vatann's backstory might be. He seemed like such a gentle, laidback officer when we met him in "Grissom Versus the Volcano" but he's angry and somewhat bitter by "Dead Ringer"; something must have changed in his life.

I haven't seen the later episodes yet (came later to CSI than CSIM) so apologies if anything is now not cannon. Oh, and he's a Scorpio purely because the actor portraying Vartann, Alex Carter, was born in November.
