I do not own Flashpoint or anything belonging to it except the character Cassidy Maclaren.

"Another day," thought Winnie as she walked into HQ. She always got there before anyone else. She went to her locker and took off her tight jeans and t-shirt and put on her police uniform. She left the locker room and saw Ed coming in as she was sitting down.

"How's it going, Winnie?" He asked happily.

"Pretty good so far," she replied. She put on her headset and started to do paperwork that shdo didn't do last night and told herself she'd do today.

The rest of the team eventually got the HQ, saying hi to Winnie when they passed her. Spike always talked to Winnie when he got into his uniform. They talked about his mom in Italy and Winnie debating whether she should keep her hair curly or straight. Just when Spike was about to leave the desk, they heard an unfamiliar voice.

"Excuse me, but is Greg Parker here?" Both cops looked up and saw a woman with firy red hair and glasses to match. Spike noticed her red lipstick that complemented her very well Spike thought.

"Ugh... Yeah," Spike replied after a moment of shock. He called out for the Sarge and he came out, smiling at the redhead.

"You came," Greg said to her. "Ready for your first day?" Spike looked at him in confusion. "Oh sorry, this is Cassidy Maclaren. She's going to join Team One. Cassidy, this is..." Greg trailed off his sentence to let Spike finish it.

"Spike!" He said in excitement.

"Nice to meet you, Spike." She replied as she held ou ther hand. Spike took it and shook it. Her grip was nice and tight. He noticed that her left nostril had a stud piercing. Wow, she's really pretty. Greg broke the stare Spike was giving as he took Cassidy into the SRU for a tour. Cassidy met Ed the team leader, Sam the sniper, Leah and Jules the second negotiator.

"Now that we have done introductions, let's see if your skills are up to par." Greg said to her. She smiled and the team took her to the gun cage to check her shooting. They put on protective ear gear as Greg told her to just do her best. She picked up the 9mm and aimed it at the white target. She fired the gun and hit the sheet. She kept shooting, maintaining her breathing and concentrating on her grip. She emptied the clip and Greg brought the sheet close for everyone to see. Once up close, they saw all the bullets hit the centre, except one which was in the target's forehead, her first shot. She put the gun down and everyone was in shock, even Ed (he thought he was the only one that could hit the killpoint the first time).

"What's next?" Cassidy asked as she walked towards the door. The others just stared at her in respect.

For the rest of the day, the team trained Cassidy, wondering where she came from. Spike thought for a second that she was an offspring of Superman and Wonder Woman. By the end of shift, Ed suggested that they all go to the Goose for a round. Everyone agreed, but Cassidy said that, since she was new to the city, she didn't know where that was. Ed told her to follow him in their cars. She agreed and everyone got changed into casual clothes. When Cassidy came out, she was wearing black dress pants and dark blue, sparkly blouse. No one really saw her until they all got to the Goose. Most raised an eyebrow but Spike could only stare at her (he knew it wasn't polite to stare but he couldn't help himself.)

"You know, if you keep staring at me you might burn a hole in my head, and we don't want that now do we?" She asked Spike jokingly. He shook himself out of the phase and joined everyone else in conversation, the topic being the new girl.

Every one was asking questions:

"Where did you come from? (Sam)

How did you learn to shoot that well? (Ed)

Where did you work before? (Jules)

Why did you pick here? (Greg)

What do you like to do in your spare time? (Leah)

Is that your natural colour?" (Spike)

Cassidy pointed to each person, answering their questions:

"I was born in Kitchener.

I learn from the best.

I worked at the FBI in Sarnia.

There was a case where the FBI from Quantico, Virginia had to come. Some guy made his mentally-ill brother bring druggies, prostitutes and the homeless to Canada to get their bone marrow. They lived on a pig farm so you can guess what he did to them. Eighty-nine shoes we found in a garbage bin, so that's when I decided I wanted to help people who were still alive. So I looked and there was an opening here. Not to mention I always wanted to live in Toronto.

I play violin and do a lot of arts.

And THAT is none of your business!" Cassidy said jokingly.

Everyone laughed at that last sentence, making Spike blush.

Eventually everyone went home. When Spike got to his apartment, he got ready for bed and plonked down on the mattress, thinking about the new girl. He wrapped himself in his comforter and thought about how much fun it would be with someone else on the team... And so pretty too.
