Connections

Chapter 1

At the Lab:

Danny was sitting his desk, staring at a team photo that was taken about 2 and a half years ago. Everyone was laughing and having fun. They were celebrating Flack's birthday. It was also the day that Danny said 'I love you' to Lindsay for the first time.

Flashback:

The whole team was sitting at a table in Sullivan's, laughing and having fun. They all had had gone after work to celebrate Flack birthday. After having a couple of beers each, Stella got a bit drunk and started saying how they should document special moments in the teams lives, that it would bring them closer. They all agree and Stella got a camera out of her bag.

'You just happened to have a camera, from the Lab no less, in your bag? Did you?' Mac Inquired.

'Well…You see we are around death all the time and I thought it would be a good idea!' Stella argued.

Mac just smiled and laughed. Stella then turned to some random police officer next to them and asked them to take a picture. The officer took the camera and the team all bunched together and smiled. Just as the picture was about to be taken Danny turned to Lindsay and whispered, 'I Love You.' into her ear.

End of Flashback

Danny smiled at the memory then was brought back to the present by his new partner walking into their joined office.

Samantha Samuels, or Sam as she liked to be called, joined the team about a year after Lindsay went. It had taken a lot of persuading from the chief for Mac to fill Lindsay's space on the team; he wanted to keep it open, just in case Lindsay was to return. 2 years later and she still has not.

'Hey Danny. I got the results for the DNA form our latest crime scene. Wanna see?'

'Yeah! Okay!!'

Sam moved over to Danny's computer, leaning on him a little, and typed in her username and password to get the results. Sam had crushed on Danny since she first met him. She always seemed to get her man but he seemed different. He would not fall to her feet and worship where she walked, but even after all this, she still wanted him.

She had just pressed enter on the keyboard when the computer screen went dark. Danny and Sam stared at it in disbelief. Then all of a sudden the FBI symbol came up on the screen. No matter what each of them tried to do, it would not go away.

Danny got off his chair and went to get Mac and told Sam to try her computer. As Danny went off, Sam did as he said and tried to bring up the results of the DNA on her computer. The same thing happened on her computer. Just then Mac and Danny came in.

'What happened?!' Mac demanded.

'I don't know! I came to show Danny the results of the DNA off of our case and when I logged in, the computer went like this……..I swear Mac…. I didn't do anything!!!'

Mac wasn't listening, he just stared at the computer and tried to get it to work. Just then his mobile rang. He looked at the screen and saw it said 'Chris Work Mob'. He accepted the call.

'Hi Chris…..You want to tell me why the FBI is interested in a NYPD's case?'
