A/N. I'm not sure if this is exactly a fanfic cliché, but I've seen it done a few times under different guises and I think it's a fun idea. Basically, an accidental ingestion of a designer drug turns a character into a nymphomaniac. That character, in this case, is Adam. Enjoy.
"This is a pretty bug bust, Mac." Don was smiling as the criminals were led past them into waiting police cruisers. "The sheriff will want a press conference." Mac was pleased about the bust, and it showed on his face.
"As long as he doesn't ask me to be involved," He replied with a smirk. "I've got four different kinds of drug to identify back at the lab."
"Isn't that what you have lab techs for?" Don asked with a matching smirk. Mac shook his head ruefully.
"Maybe. Don't tell the sheriff that." Flack laughed aloud at this; clapping Mac on the back as they headed towards their cars.
(*~*~*)
"What do we have Adam?" Mac asked as he stepped into the lab. Adam turned to talk to his boss; the effects of a third cup of coffee clear to see.
"We have…" Adam trailed off as he turned; pointing to three samples on his workstation. "One sample of Crystal Meth, one LSD and a very dangerous compound of Crack. These guys were quite the entrepreneurs; very diverse." Mac smiled a little in approval before pointing to the fourth sample.
"Do you know what that is yet?"
"Not yet," Adam replied regretfully. "It's some kind of designer compound. I'm still working out all the details. As soon as I know, you'll know." Mac smiled at the reply. Adam smiled back before going back to his work. Mac left him to it; knowing how Adam needed his space to work at his best.
Adam bagged the three identified substances; signing the tabs automatically, and put them away. Turning quickly, Adam made a grab for the fourth sample; intending to look at it once more under the microscope. However, Adam's fingers didn't quite grip the dish, and it fell to the floor with a clatter. A puff of the yellow powder that had been the sample hit Adam's face as he crouched, without thinking, to retrieve the evidence. Standing up, Adam coughed as he hit the contamination alarm. Adam's lips tingled, and his head began to spin. He closed his eyes tight.
"Mac is gonna kill me."
