A/N: I do not own any of the CSI: NY characters wish I did. Mac/Adam slash warning.
Description: Adam Ross Rocks!!! I love Adam!!! So don't let this story make you think otherwise. Adam's Father comes the lab and things go from bad to worse when he attacks Adam in front of the team will they be able to protect Adam from his father?
Adam sat at the lab desk trying to piece together the connection between the two vic's and the killer, but he began to think if there wasn't anything at all and this frustrated him to no end. He wanted to have something so when Mac or any other CSI's came back he would have the results to give them, but wasn't anything. He was so deep into his concentration that he hadn't even noticed Hawkes walking up behind him. Hawkes slapped him on the shoulder with a file causing Adam to jump in surprise. He clutched his chest tightly in shock.
"Damn Hawkes! What are you trying to do? Give me a heart attack?" Adam asked trying to get his breathing under control.
"Sorry I didn't mean to scare you, but I was just coming to see if you've got anything." Hawkes said with a grin on his face as he sat down beside Adam.
"No I haven't got anything! I'm Sorry. I must be a big disappointment, huh? I CAN'T EVEN DO ANYTHING RIGHT!" Adam yelled in frustration. Hawkes looked at him sympathetically. He smiled placing a hand on his shoulder squeezing it softly.
"No Adam you're not a big disappointment! We wouldn't have gotten half the criminals we've captured without you so don't go selling yourself short." Adam looked at him then nodded with a smile on his face.
"Thanks." Adam said softly.
"So how longs it been?" He asked. Adam looked up at him with a confused look on his face. Hawkes chuckled. "You and Mac! How long have you two been together?"
Adam understood now and smiled. "Almost two years."
Hawkes looked at him in surprise. "Wow almost two years? Really? I honestly didn't think it has been that long!" Hawkes said whistling in surprise. Adam chuckled.
As the two talked among themselves they didn't notice a man getting off the elevator. He was a tall man, very strong built and his hair was long; up in a ponytail. He had tattoos from his neck down to his arms. The man's eyes were emerald green. He was the type of man that could strike fear into the hearts of many. His name was George Ross, the father of Adam Ross. He stood there looking around the lab trying to locate what he was looking for.
"ADAM!!!! WHERE ARE YOU?" He yelled in a terrifying voice causing everyone to tremble.
Adam turned at the sound of his name being called out in anger, causing him to turn pale as he recognized the voice instantly. He wasn't expecting to see his father here of all places.
Hawkes looked at him in concern. "Adam! You ok?"
"I was never here! Ok?" Adam stated as he ducked underneath the lab table. His father yelled once again. Hawkes looked at Adam confused then watched as the others walked up to the man doing all the yelling. He climbed to his feet to join them.
"Sir!" Mac said getting the bigger man's attention. He turned and looked at him. "Sir I'm going to have to ask you to leave! You are disrupting my workers!" Mac said in a calm voice as a fair warning. The man only grew angrier as he was asked to leave, but Mac was not intimidated by him.
"Not until I talk to my son!" George said coldly.
"Sir again I...." Mac was cut off.
"Dad!" Adam stated out of nowhere.
Everyone turned to watch him walking towards them. He decided to face his father right here and now. His father turned to him, grabbing him by the arm and gripping him tightly. Adam cringed in pain as his grip tightened even more.
"Adam we need to talk!" George said.
"Ow you're hurting me! Let go!" Adam said trying to get free, but that only made him tighten his grip even more, causing him to cry out a little.
Mac had to intervene. "Sir you need to let go of him, right now!" Mac ordered, stepping up beside him.
George looked at him confused. "Why is this guy so protective of my son?" He asked himself then it clicked and gave him a knowing look then turned back to Adam.
"So this is your boyfriend huh? A little protective of you isn't he?" George said to Adam then turned to Mac. "I won't let go until I talk to my son!" he said, but Adam yanked his arm free and shook his head he took a deep breath and released his frustration.
"First off, I don't know how you knew, but it's none of your business and second off, I don't want to talk to you. Hell in fact I don't want to ever fucking see you again. Now please leave me alone and...."
George suddenly backed handed Adam, shocking everyone as he went flying to the ground busting his lip and nose on impact. The next thing he felt was a jolt of pain going through his sides as he felt his ribs cracking. He cried out in pain as his father continued kicking him then next he felt the punches of his childhood memories when his father first did this to him. It felt like being stabbed over and over again. He grunted at each blow, wishing it would stop until darkness claimed him. Mac was yelling in a furious rage. It took Mac, Danny and another two men to get him off. Stella and Lindsey stood there in shock as Adam was lying on the ground covered in blood. He was beaten pretty badly.
"GET HIM OUT OF HERE AND BOOK HIM!" Mac yelled in anger.
Flack and Danny didn't hesitate; they cuffed him and took in into custody. Hawkes turned and looked down at Adam; he couldn't believe what he had seen as his eyes filled with tears. Mac however knelt down next to Adam and he felt for a pulse. He let out a breath of relief as he found a steady pulse, but he was pale and none responsive. He turned to Stella bringing her out of shock.
"Get a bus over here and quick!" He ordered. Stella nodded wiping out her cell. He turned back to Adam. "Adam! Adam can you hear me? C'mon baby answer me!" Mac begged as he gently stroked his face. Stella stepped forward to announce the paramedics were on their way. Mac nodded without taking his eyes off Adam.
Lindsey stood perfectly still in shock. She couldn't believe what she had just seen. She was brought out of her state when she felt a hand on her shoulder, only to find her husband there. She turned to him and buried her face into his chest, choking back a sob as she spoke.
"I....I can't believe he would do that to Adam! And in front of us too, has he lost his mind?" Lindsey asked. She was ready to cry, she loved Adam like a little brother.
Mac spoke up before Danny could. "You'd be surprised of what people will do when they lose control."
The medics showed up not to long after, hauling Adam up on the stretcher and down to the ambulance. Mac rode with Adam while the others followed in their vehicles all the way to the hospital.
They wheeled him into the hospital where Mac and the team were told to wait. They all stood around the waiting room, praying and hoping for the best. For what seemed like hours later a doctor finally came out to greet them.
"Are you here with Adam Ross?" He asked them all. The team climbed to their feet nodding. "I'm Doctor Myers. I operated on Mr. Ross." He introduced himself.
"I'm Detective Mac Taylor, his boyfriend. These are his friends and co-workers." Mac said shaking his hand. "How is he?" He asked.
"He sustained multiple broken ribs, one punctured his left lung, but we managed to repair it and stop the bleeding. What surprises me though is the fact that he didn't sustain any skull fractures with a beating he took he should have, he is one lucky man." The doctor said.
"So he's going to be ok? Can we see him?" Hawkes asked.
"Yes! He's awake now. Give him a week in here and he should be ready to go. Please follow me." He said leading the team to his room.
They followed the doctor towards his room, hastily walking in to see Adam sat up in bed, staring blankly at nothing. He hadn't noticed Mac and the others standing there. It wasn't until he heard a knock on the door that he noticed them. He looked away in shame, beginning to sob softly. Adam felt a pair of hands wrap around his shoulders, he looked up to see Mac holding him close, giving him comfort. He turned and buried his face into his chest, continuing to sob. The others gathered around him to give him comfort as well. When he finally stopped crying he looked up at them frowning.
"I...I just...please don't look at me! I'm pathetic and weak and I don't deserve any kindness." Adam said turning away. They all looked at him like he had gone mad.
"Adam..." Danny began, but Adam quickly cut him off.
"No! I'm ashamed and embarrassed. I couldn't even stop him let alone defend myself and...." Stella cut his ranting off with a firm tone.
"Adam enough! There was nothing you could have done to prevent this; he even took us by surprise. He was on you before we even knew what was happening." Stella firmly told him.
"Yeah well it wouldn't have happened if..." He began choking back a sob. Mac cupped his chin forcing him to look in the eyes of his lover as he spoke.
"Adam listen to me my love, when I tell you this because it's the truth, you broke free from his grip the moment you stood up to him and he knew it, that's why he reacted like he did because he knew you were no longer afraid of him and lost his power over you! You stood your ground against him knowing he would strike and for that we couldn't be more proud of you." Mac said softly. Adam looked at him for a moment then he looked over to Stella and the others who nodded in agreement.
He smiled as tears slid down his face. "I can't believe you guys care so much about me! Even if I am a pain in the ass at times." Adam said Lindsey laughed a little.
"A pain in the ass, yes! But we love you like you were our own little brother and we take care of our family." Lindsey stated.
Stella nodded in agreement. "She's right! You're like a son I never had and we're your family now and we look out for our family simple as that." Stella said just as the doctor came back.
"How are you Mr. Ross?" He asked addressing Adam who smiled back.
"I'm doing ok thanks! I wonna go home though." Adam said the others started laughing.
"Mr. Ross I strongly recommend that you stay a week for observation." Doctor Myers said. Adam just sighed and nodded.
Flacks cell suddenly went off; he apologized then turned around to answer it. "Flack!" He answered in annoyance. Flack listened to one of the cops on the other end, the suddenly blurted out. "He What?!?!? How did that happen? Yeah...ok thanks." Flack flipped his phone shut. He closed his eyes for a moment then turned to face everyone's concerned expressions. "We have a problem." He stated.
"What's the problem?" They all asked at the same time.
Flack turned to Adam. "Your father just escaped."
