Description: Ever get the feeling of being watched? Well that has been a reoccurring experience for Adam who knows he's being watched or he feel's like he is. The trouble is he doesn't know who, but when letters start to arrive...well things start to get out of control. Now the team must find out who is stalking Adam before it's too late! can they do it and keep him safe? R&R

The sun was high in the sky of NYC as the traffic rushed through the busy streets all the while it's people walked past each other trying to get to work. Some worked on the streets selling hotdogs and other things while others worked in buildings didn't matter what types. That went double for the NY Crime Lab as well as the cities finest cops. Speak of the devil here comes two of them now they seemed to be chasing someone.

"Hey stop! NYPD I said stop" it was Don Flack Jr. who was doing the chasing along with who looked to be Danny Messer. "Hey Dan-O I'll go this way you take the back"

"Right Flack see ya on the other side" Danny said with that he was off.

Flack chased the suspect who happened to be running in the same direction on where Danny happened to run as well. He wasn't paying attention because he was too busy looking behind him as Flack chased him when he was tackled to the ground by Danny himself. Danny held the guy down and cuffed him as Flack happened to catch up to them he was breathing hard.

"Hey buddy you know what NYPD stands for? It means law enforcement" Danny said he lifted the guy up from the ground.

"Hey man I didn't do nothin'" The guy said.

"Yeah? Then why did you run?" Flack asked the guy remained silent "That's ok buddy you can tell us back at the precinct"

Flack and Danny led the guy back to the precinct. When they arrived they led him into interrogation room 1 and began to interrogate him, but through out it all he remained silent the only thing he said or more like asked was for a lawyer so they left shaking their heads.

"Well that guy clammed up quickly" Danny said Flack nodded then split back up Danny went back to the lab as Flack went back to his desk.

Adam dragged himself out of bed today was his day off and he had planned on getting his errands done before he had to go back into work. He gathered his wallet, house and car keys then he walked out of his apartment turned and locked the door behind him. He had gotten halfway down the hall when one of his neighbor's came out to greet him. The guy was shy and awkward as he tried to talk to Adam.

"H-Hey A-Adam" The young man stuttered Adam turned and smiled at him.

"Oh hey Steve sup man?" Adam greeted Steve looked down and blushed Adam couldn't help, but chuckle at his nervousness. "Relax man I won't bite" with that Adam walked off.

Steve watched him go. Adam stepped out into the cool air he took a deep breath then headed for his car got in and drove off. He arrived at the market 15 minutes after he left his home for traffic was bad, but he didn't live that far. He drove around the parking lot looking for a place to park and after finding one he put his car into park got out and headed into the store. Half way through the isles he suddenly stopped in his tracks he turned for he had the feeling he was being watched, but seeing no one he shrugged it off and continued until someone called his name he turned to find Mac standing behind him he had a smile on his face as Adam smiled back.

"Hey Mac whats up?" Adam asked Mac looked at him then shook his head in amusement.

"Nothing much just doing a little bit of shopping before going home! You?" Mac said then asked.

"Yeah me too! I was running out of food so I needed to get some groceries before I head into work tomorrow" Adam said. Mac nodded.

"You want some company while we shop?" Mac asked Adam nodded.

"Yeah sure that'll be great" Adam replied he tried to hide the excitement and he had hoped he did.

Both Mac and Adam strolled down the grocery aisle placing each of their items into their buggy and talked among themselves unaware that they were being watched by an angry unseen figure on the next aisle over. The figure had been watching Adam for quite sometime for he had taken a liking to the young man and that other man was getting in between what he wanted. Adam and Mac arrived in the frozen section as they continued to talk among themselves when he suddenly stopped he turned to look behind him as did Mac.

"What? What is it Adam?" Mac asked he was unsure as to why Adam would look behind him Adam turned and smiled.

"Oh it's nothing just thinking if I had forgotten anything" Adam said Mac just looked at him then nodded. He didn't believe him, but he wasn't going to push him neither so he let it go...for now.

After several hours into shopping they finally arrived at the cash register and paid for their groceries. Then they walked them out and loaded them into the back of their cars. Mac said his goodbyes as did Adam and drove their separate ways back to their homes. It had been a good day for Adam he went shopping and on top of that Mac was there. He had liked Mac from the first day he met him, but he never had the courage to say anything and the only person who new was Stella, but since she left he really has no one to confide in...well not really he could talk to Flack, but he don't think he likes him very much.

Arriving home he parked his car getting out he walked around to his trunk and opened it. He then walked up to his door unlocked it then walked back to his car to get his groceries out. About 30 minutes later he had everything unloaded then it took him another 30 to put them away. After everything was finished he walked into his living room and sat down on his couch he was just about to open his beer when there was a knock on the door. Sighing he got up and opened it, seeing no one he turned to close his door when he happened to look down finding an envelope lying in front of his door he bent down picked it up and took it inside.

Adam looked at the envelope with his name printed on it he was confused as to why he would receive a letter this late and with no return address as well. He picked up his letter opener he carefully opened the letter making sure that no white powder escaped if there was any. He pulled out a piece of paper that had neat handwriting.

My dearest Adam,

I see you each and everyday and how I wish I could be with you.

Your eyes are like a crystal sea they are so blue and pure. I saw you

today in the grocery store and with some other man for that matter.

I don't know who that is, but I don't want you seeing him anymore it

makes me jealous when I see you with someone other then me. Did I

mention you have a beautiful body? Oh I didn't? Well I must say your

skin tone has a mixture of dark with a little light making your skin glow

like an angel. I hope to see you again soon, oh don't worry about trying

to find out who I am because you won't be able to until I feel ready to reveal

myself to you. I love you my darling see you soon.

Love always xoxoxo

Adam dropped the paper out of shock and horror. Someone was watching him he new it, but he just couldn't be sure until now. He rushed over to the windows and closed the curtains. If this guy watched him and Mac at the store he might be watching him now. He rushed over to the phone to call Mac, but then stopped.

"Stop it Adam maybe you just have a secret admirer! Yeah that's it it's all in your head" Adam said to himself.

He got ready for bed he needed rest he was starting to make himself paranoid and he definitely didn't need that right now. So with the curtains closed his lights off he slipped into bed closing his eyes he slipped into deep slumber. The alarm sounded as he rolled over shutting it off. He got out of bed grabbed his clothes and headed for the shower. After he had gotten out he cooked himself breakfast then headed into work. As he stepped out of his door there lying in front of him was another envelope he sighed and picked it up. Adam stared at the letter then checked his watch he rushed out the door when he realized he was going be late.

"Great nice going Adam" Adam scolded himself as he drove down the street.

He barely made it to the lab in time for him to take the elevator to the 35th floor and check in. once he grabbed his coat from his locker he rushed to his lab. Upon entering he ran into Danny and Lindsey who just happened to walk in at the same time they smiled and waved at him as he did back with a nod as well.

"Hey Adam wild night?" Danny joked Lindsey chuckled, but Adam just looked at him confused until Danny pointed to his hair. "Your hair is sticking out man" Danny laughed.

Adam smoothed his hair down and shook his head. He then laughed how he could have missed that was beyond him, but he wasn't going to worry about it now. He walked over to his machines as he took his stuff out getting ready to process evidence. He then turned holding his hands out to them.

"Come on I know you guys have something for me" Adam said then smirked when they handed him their evidence they collected.

"You know Adam I don't know how you do that, but it's kinda creepy! Let us know when you've got something will ya?" Danny asked Adam nodded then he turned to walk off with his wife until Adam called him.

"Danny! Could I uh...maybe talk to you for a moment?" Adam nervously asked Danny looked at him for a moment then smiled and nodded.

"Yeah sure! Linds see you In a bit ok?" Danny said then asked as he turned to her she nodded and walked off "Now what's up?"

"Uh...it's kinda personal and I know that you don't like me all that much and..."

"Whoa hold it there bud!" Danny interrupted him causing Adam to stop rambling he looked up at Danny for a moment.

"What?" he asked.

"Adam who told ya that I didn't like you?" Danny demanded.

"No one I just assumed you didn't" Adam admitted Danny shook his head disappointed.

"Adam I like you, really I do your a decent guy who has the greatest respect for this crime lab and who does his job right! Hell you always had my back when I needed it so don't you think for a second that I don't like you. Adam we all like you everyone in this lab" Danny told him straight out Adam looked at him in awe and shock he quickly shook his head and smiled.

"Really?" Adam asked hopefully Danny nodded.

"Hell yeah! I wouldn't have said it if it weren't true! Now what is it that you wanted to talk to me about?" Danny said then asked trying to change the subject and he didn't know if succeeded until Adam nodded.

"Oh right...um...well it has to do with my sexuality" Adam said a little sheepish. Danny looked at him then nodded.

"So? What are ya sayin' your gay?" Danny asked Adam nodded.

"Well I'm bi actually" Adam admitted Danny sighed and sat down in front of him.

"Adam I don't care. Truly I don't! If you're more interested in guys then whatever makes you happy then I'll be happy for you" Danny said Adam looked at him then smiled it felt like a weight was lifted off of his shoulders. Then something clicked in Danny as he started laughing.

"What? What's so funny?" Adam asked.

"You! You really thought I would hate you for being bi? Adam just so you know I have gay friends and I can tell you that it does not bother me one bit" Danny said Adam smiled and nodded. "That's not all is it?" he shook his head.

"No! I uh...I kinda like someone in this lab" Adam said this peeked Danny's interest causing him to sit straight up.

"Oh really? Who is it?" Danny asked with a smirk. "No wait let me guess! Hawkes?" Adam shook his head eyes wide "Ok so not Hawkes! Hmmmmm...Flack?" again he shook his head. "Ok if not Flack it's not me is it?" Danny asked again Adam shook his head no. "Ok so not me...wait what's wrong with me?" Danny asked with a laugh Adam cracked a smile then laughed "I'm just kidding It's not Sid is it?" Adam again shook his head this time he wrinkled his nose up causing Danny to laugh "Ok ok I was just kidding about that one! Let me think is it someone we know?" Adam nodded. "Ok so it's someone we know it's not any of the techs is it?" he shook his head "then there is only one person we all know that is not a tech, but who's not Hawkes, Flack, Sid nor me. It's Mac isn't it?" when Adam didn't reply Danny grinned wider. "Oh boy it is Mac..."

"It's Mac what?" the voice came from the door causing both Danny and Adam to jump they were surprised when they saw none other then Mac standing there a grim look on his face. "Danny don't you have work to do?" Danny nodded then got up he turned to Adam before leaving.

"We'll talk later ok?" Adam nodded then Danny took off.

Mac watched as Danny walked away he then turned to Adam with a smile he came over to him and handed him his evidence that he collected at the scene with Jo. Adam took the bag smiling he turned to the machines. Mac patted his back causing him to turn and look at him.

"I want those results as soon as you can ok?" Mac said and Adam nodded "Thanks" he then gently squeezed his shoulders before leaving causing him to blush as he watched Mac walk away.

"You know you should tell him" The voice said causing Adam to jump for the second time he turned to see Jo standing there with a smirk on her face.

"I don't know what you are talking about" Adam said as he tried to deny it.

"Oh please! I worked for the FBI I know when someone is in love and you definitely have that look" Jo said Adam just shook his head.

"I can't! We both could get fired for it and plus he's my boss" Adam said with a sigh.

"No! Adam first off he's not your boss your a tech and you work for the city not him and secondly it's not against the rules for a CSI and Tech to date believe me I checked into the rules and regulations for the lab" Jo said.

"Even so he's not into me. He doesn't swing that way" Adam said. Jo sighed.

"You let him decide that" Jo said "Just remember what I said" then she left leaving Adam in his thoughts.

Half an hour later both Danny and Lindsey came walking in. Adam turned to them with a smile, but one that looked sad and that worried both Danny and Lindsey.

"Adam? Is everything ok?" Lindsey asked he just nodded. "Adam! Come on now who do you think your fooling? Were your friends and we want to help right Danny?" Lindsey said as she turned to her husband who nodded.

"Yeah come on Adam! What's bugging you buddy?" Danny asked his voice was soft. Adam looked at him then to Lindsey then sighed he might as well tell her seeing Jo now knows as well as Danny.

"Lindsey I have something to tell you, but please don't hate me for it" Adam said.

"Hate you? Adam why would I hate you? Whatever it is you know you can tell me anything" Lindsey said he nodded.

"Ok here goes nothing! Linds I'm bi" Adam said he closed his eyes ready for a yell of disgust or a slap or anything, but was surprised when she pulled him into a hug.

"Oh Adam I new you were or at least I had the feeling, but now I know I was right. And I don't hate you" Lindsey said with a smile he sighed with relief now there was only three others to tell, but one he didn't know how too. "But that doesn't tell me why your so sad"

"It's complicated" Adam replied Lindsey sighed. "I like Mac maybe even love him, but I just can't tell him how I feel! Jo told me too, but I can't. Stella was the only one at the time who new everything, but now I feel I could come to you guys and you not hate me for it" Adam said Lindsey was shocked, but Danny just smiled.

"Wow Adam! Well I think Jo is right you should tell him. Wait have you told Hawkes, Sid and Flack? What about Mac have you told him your bi?" Lindsey asked as the thought suddenly struck her. He shook his head. Flack that's who he had forgotten to add to the list how would the detective take the news if he told him?

"No; so fare the only ones who know are you, Danny and Jo. I just don't know how to tell the others" Adam answered.

"Well you should tell them! Believe me they won't hate you" Danny said. "Now how about our results?" Danny asked changing the subject Adam nodded then he turned and grabbed the paper that was lying on the counter and handed it to Danny they took a look at the results said their thanks and walked out.

Finally Adam was alone he turned to his bag he had brought in with him took out the letter that was in there with his gloves on of course then took out the paper after carefully opening the letter and began to read. What he read made the color drain from his face.

My dearest Adam,

The sight of you sleeping last night was the most beautiful

thing I have ever seen. You looked like a modern day sleeping beauty.

My heart fluttered when you turned in your sleep as though you were

waking up and I held my breath hoping you didn't wake from your slumber.

I was relieved that you remained asleep for that allowed me to watch you even more.

But then I became angry when you muttered a certain name in your sleep who is this

Mac character? I warn you to stay away from him your mine. Do you hear me MINE.

I don't share and I don't intend too. If I see you with him again I will not hesitate to kill

him understood? At least I hope you do. Good bye for now and I will see you soon.

Yours truly xoxoxo

after Adam read the letter be began to panic. What was he going to do? He should go to Mac, but he doesn't want to trouble him. This guy whoever it is was in his house his house he violated his sanctuary just to watch him sleep. He had a feeling he was being watched for he had, had them for almost a week now and these letters just confirms his suspicions now deciding what to do was going to be hard. He was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't notice a presence behind him until the voice spoke causing him to jump.

"You know Adam if I didn't know better I would honestly think that the letter was threatening Mac and stalking you at the same time" Adam jumped he turned and saw Jo standing there behind him had she read the letter?

"I-I don't know what you are talking about" Adam sputtered as he tried to play dumb, but Jo was smarter the she looked.

"Adam don't play dumb you know what I'm talking about. I read the letter too! You just didn't know I was behind you until I said something. Adam you need to go to Mac with that letter" Jo insisted Adam just shook his head.

"No! I'm not going to bother him with this" Adam said Jo sighed as she sat down.

"Adam..."

"No! Jo promise me you won't go to Mac with this? Please?" Adam pleaded.

"Adam that wasn't the only letter was it?" Jo asked he shook his head.

"No I got one yesterday after returning from the grocery store" Adam admitted Jo nodded.

"Adam seriously you need to tell Mac about this" Jo tried once again, but Adam remained unmovable.

"No! Please don't go to him" Adam pleaded once again Jo sighed and against her better judgment she nodded.

"Ok Adam I won't go to him, but you must promise me that if this get's worse you will go to Mac or I will! got it?" Jo said seriously. Adam just nodded "Adam I need you to say it! Promise me Adam; say it"

"Ok ok, I promise if it get's any worse I will go to Mac with this" Adam promised Jo smiled ruffled his hair a bit.

"Thank you" and with that she left.

Adam sighed as she left. He couldn't believe that Jo had seen more like read his letter. That woman was sneaky she could sneak up behind you and you wouldn't even know she was there until she said something, but he couldn't fault her as she was just looking out for him wanting to make sure he was safe. He tucked his letter back into the envelope and got back to work. He just hoped that this letter was the last of them for his sake and for Mac's.

Tbc...
