So I know your all still grieving about the cancellation of CSI:NY sobsobsobsob. Literally so annoyed they cancelled it, they started so many storylines and now we'll never see the end of them! And it means no more Danny Messer and Don Flack, breaking my heart. So anyway I've been away from here for ageeeees and I just fancied some new CSI:NY fics to fix my broken heart, therefore here's mine. Hope you enjoy and don't forget to comment and review!

The sound of her alarm made Sophie roll over and press the snooze button, she was never one for early mornings and not even her new job right now could make her crawl out of bed. 10 minutes later the same alarm rung out, causing Sophie to roll back over, pressing her snooze button and knocking the glass of water over next to her in the same movement.

'Uh, shit.'

Sophie grabbed her phone and begun wiping it down on her duvets, rubbing her eyes she found her pillow and side table to be soaked in water, well if anything, she couldn't go back to sleep in a wet bed. Pulling herself up, she stripped off the bed covers and dragged them into her kitchen, tripping over unpacked boxes she gradually managed to stumble into her kitchen. Loading the sheets into the washer she glanced at the clock and saw the time. Groaning at the time she frantically pushed the on button until the washer begun, sprinted back into her room, into the bathroom and jumped into the shower, turning up the cold water to make sure she was fully awake. 10 minutes later she was out, dry, dressed, scraping her brown hair into a high bun and putting on some foundation to cover up her dark circles. Thankfully Sophie was a quick dresser and 15 minutes later she was ready, with her flask of coffee leaving her apartment and haling a cab.

Clambering out of her cab she stood on the sidewalk outside the towering glass building, checking her watch she was 35 minutes early for her meeting with Mac Taylor. She stood herself next to the newspaper stand just to the left of the precinct doors and scanned the headlines.

Danny noticed her first as he and Flack stood on the steps of NYPD waiting for a suspect to be brought in by uniform. She stood in a navy dress that clung to her figure in the most flattering way possible, her chestnut hair was tied up high in a messy yet sophisticated bun and she clung onto her oversized bag like she expected someone was going to snatch it away. Danny watched as she scanned the newspaper headlines and the newspaper boy stared at her, mouth gawped. She was gorgeous.

'Hey' Danny nodded towards where Sophie was stood as he stood cross armed on the steps '2 o'clock, brown hair, checking the headlines.'

'Yeah, what about her?'

'Oh come on, look at her she's stunning'

'She's okay I suppose'

'Whoa Flack are you feeling okay? Oh wait no it's because you're seeing that girl on front desk, or is that reporter, or there was that girl in the apartment next to you or is it Jess now.'

A police car pulled up outside the precinct giving Flack to excuse himself, he hated that he'd giving himself the bad name of a ladies man, ever since Jessica Angell had joined the team they'd clicked straight away and he really wanted to try and make something of it. He opened the back door to where the handcuffed prisoner was sat.

'Out you get, come on I haven't got all day.'

Slowly the prisoner climbed out and looked up at Flack who, like most people, he towered over.

'Problem, Detective?'

'Yeah you're it, I should be inside finishing my reports so I can go home early tonight yet I've sat out here for the last 45 minutes waiting for you.'

'Fuck you.'

Danny grabbed his handcuffs and pushed him towards the officers who were stood at the door waiting for the passing over of the prisoner 'and a very good morning to you too.'

Flack snatched the clipboard off one of the officers signed it and gave it back 'you're welcome to him guys.'

Sophie watched from the news stand as the police car turned up and the prisoner was passed from guy to guy. She watched the one with the golden hair push him towards the officers at the door. She watched as he turned back and looked straight at her. Shit. She grabbed a paper and tried to turn round pretending she hadn't seen him but instead managed to knock her coffee off the stand and across the floor.

'Damn, sorry shit sorry.'

The young newspaper boy blush as they both tried to wipe up the mess 'ma'am don't worry about it you didn't get any of the papers wet.'

'I'm really sorry, shit sorry I wasn't watching, look I need to go, if I need to pay for anything just catch me on the way out okay.'

The young boy nodded as she shrugged her bag up onto her shoulder and made her way to the precinct doors.

She stepped into NYPD and made her way over to the reception desk to find out where she needed to be in the crazy building.

'I'm here to see Mac Taylor.'

'34th floor.' The woman behind the desk kept her nose in her crossword and answered Sophie without looking up. 'Pass the desks, elevators on the right.'

'Thanks' Sophie ignored the woman's rudeness and made her way through the bullpen to the closing elevator doors. 'Hold the doors.' A hand came between the gap and Sophie was welcomed by the sight of the tall dark haired guy she saw on the steps earlier 'thanks.' He nodded at Sophie as he positioned himself to the left of her, he lent in for the buttons to see the 34th floor had already been pressed.

'Heading for the crime lab?'

'Yeah, first day.'

Flack smirked to himself, just wait until Danny hears about this.

'Problem?'

'No, no just saw you earlier at the newsstand.'

'Oh yeah just passing some time, got here a little early.'

'Oh Mac loves people who arrive early so next time don't worry.' The two of them stood in silence as the elevator raised higher and higher 'Don Flack by the way, Homicide.'

'Homicide?'

'Wait don't tell me you're my new partner?'

'Yeah that'd be me.'

'Sophie Maxwell? I read your file, I can't believe I didn't remember sorry but you're the CSI turn Detective right, studied in London? Your British right, with the accent anyway.'

'Yes with the accent, Mothers British, Father is from New York.'

'What brought you back to the big city then?'

'Would you rather work in London or New York?'

'London?'

'Wrong answer, come on New York is incredible! So I applied and I somehow got accepted!'

'Didn't you shoot your first partner in the foot in firearms training?'

'That's in my file?'

Flack laughed and rubbed his hand over his mouth 'surprisingly yes.'

Sophie put her hands in her head and laughed along with him 'oh god, that's terrible I was only a rookie.' The two of them shared the joke as the lift came to a stop on the 34th floor and they both stepped out.

'You can just tell she's gonna be one of these smart ass sophisticated I am queen newbies' Lindsay leant against the counter in the break room sipping her first coffee of the day, she watched through the glass walls as Sophie sat with Mac in his office 'I mean look at her who wears that to work, how is that even practical!'

'Michael Kors.'

'What?'

Jess shut the magazine she was reading, stood up and washed her cup 'the dress is Michael Kors, new season, it's gorgeous and so is she.'

'Being gorgeous isn't going to get you anywhere in this job.'

'Haven't you seen her file, first honours in crime scene science at a university in London, mastered in homicide forensics, worked 4 years with London Met, I've seen some of her cases she's incredible, worked her way up to Homicide Detective for the last 2 years and now she's here.'

'Kissing butt Jess?'

'At least I try to get on with people Monroe.' With that Jess threw her mug into the sink and left the room leaving Lindsay to mope about the new girl.

After 45 minutes Mac opened his office door and they both exited, Mac turned to see his entire team all cooped in the break room watching their every move 'I think there's a few people who want to meet you' he nodded towards the break room and motioned for Sophie to follow him.

'Sophie, meet Danny, Sheldon, Adam, Lindsay, Jess and Flack who you've already met'

'Sorry was I supposed to take notes then?'

The room laughed, minus Lindsay, as panic struck Sophie's face as she realised she hadn't memorised any of the names.

'Flack I want you to take her under your wing.'

'Sure thing boss.'

The two of them shared a smile before Sophie shifted her focus onto Danny sat next to him, he was defiantly cute, before a cough interrupted her thoughts.

'I'm Lindsay Monroe.' Lindsay held out her hand before Sophie as Sophie returned her with a smile.

'Hi.'

Lindsay looked at her outreached hand before retracting it and crossing her arms. Sophie gave the rest of the team a warm smile before catching Lindsay's eye and noticing the glare coming her way.

'Well that's the basic introductions but before you make yourself at home Sophie I need to take you for your ID, badge and gun.'

Sophie gave the group a quick goodbye before she followed Mac out the room.

'Mac knows how to choose them well.' Adam watched Sophie from behind as she left the room.

'You got a crush going on there Ross?' Flack nudged him as he too watched Sophie leave, knocking Adam out of his trance.

'No I just mean, she erm, she looks like she does her job well.'

Danny, Flack and Sheldon all shared a look before laughing at the sight of Adam going red.

'Yeah well I don't see the fuss with being the new girl.'

'That was you once Lindsay, you wanted all the attention you could get.' Jess sipped her coffee

'I think that was you Jess.'

'Alright girls claws away.' Danny put his hand in the air as he kept half his attention on the ice hockey game on TV.

'I'm off to find Sophie; sure she could do with one of the girls getting her up to date with the gossip round here.' Jess passed her coffee mug to Flack and made her way out the room.

'Hey, Mac wait up.' Sophie and Mac turned to see Jessica Angell running down the corridor. 'I got this; I can take Sophie to collect her stuff.'

'You sure?'

'Yeah sure thing.'

Mac nodded and left Sophie standing there gazing at the young woman in front of her.

'Jessica Angell. So how about we go get your stuff and I'll give you all the gossip.' Jess hooked her arm through Sophie's and the both of them headed down to the resources offices like they'd known each other for years.

'So this one time I'm cruising the night shift with officers and the next thing I know this bottle comes flying through the air and straight at the windshield, jumped out the car and it was Flack's sister, Samantha. Seriously I wanted to kick her butt.'

'You'd rather kick mine though right' Flack smirked flirtatiously at Jess, as she brought Sophie up to speed with the funniest and scariest stories of working for NYPD, she stuck her tongue out in reply.

'Another time me and Danny were down in autopsy with Sheldon and he was literally about to cut into the body when it woke up. I don't think I've ever screamed so loudly in my life and Danny, well he was off like a shot straight out the room.' The three off them laughed as Danny right on queue walked into the room.

'I hope you're not talking about me.'

'When would I ever talk about you Messer?' Jess gave the CSI a gleaming smile as he pulled out a seat next to Sophie who gave him a nervous grin. 'So, any interesting stories from the other side of the water?'

'Interesting?'

'She shot her partner in the foot in fire arms training.'

'Flack! No it was accidental and I was a rookie I just was a bit trigger happy and pointed the gun down to check the barrel but manage to set the thing off.'

'And now?'

'Oh now I could put a bullet in between your eyes from anywhere.' Sophie gave Flack a cheeky wink as once again the group erupted in laughter.

Mac interrupted with a knock at the door 'hey Sophie, you want a run out?'
