Jessica was feeling pretty proud of herself. She took the subway by herself and made her way to the New York Crime Lab without getting lost once. This was her first time in New York but she knew exactly where she was going. She had a picture in her head since her cousin told her how sometimes she would walk to work and went by step by step without realizing it. Jess smiled to herself for being so resourceful as she opened the front doors of the crime lab.

She was just looking around the magnificent building when she noticed a man approaching her that looked familiar; even though she knew she has never met him before, since she didn't know anyone here besides her cousin.

"Oh my god…Detective Mac Taylor…is that you?" Jess asked as she stood in front of him and the door, successfully stopping him from leaving.

"Umm, yes…I'm Mac…do I know you?"

Jess laughs at this…from all the times her cousin has called her to talk about her gorgeous boss Detective Mac Taylor, she feels as if she does know him…

"Nope, we have never met, my name is Jessica…but my cousin works for you and talks to me about you ALL the time…about the day you wore a shirt that brought out your eyes, how she figured out a way to touch you during demonstrations and experiments and she has described you to a tee…and let me just say…I definitely understand now why she is attracted to you"

Mac blushed at her words and looked at his feet. He was stunned, not only did he not have any clue who Jess was referring to, he was shocked to find out that someone was habouring these secret feelings for him…

Before Mac could respond to Jess, a voice appeared…

"Jess…what the heck are you doing here, when I left for work, you were still asleep…is something wrong, are you ok?" Her voice trailed off when she noticed Jess was standing next to Mac. In her mind thinking 'oh my god…what has Jess told him'

Mac couldn't believe who he saw when he finally took his eyes off his feet…Lindsay was currently inspecting Jessica's head and arms to determine for herself if she really was ok.

Jess turns to confront Lindsay "Sorry Linds I am fine… I didn't want to be cooped up in your apartment all day… I wanted to see where you work and I remembered when you told me how you would walk to work and used that information to find my way here…you are very descriptive when you tell me things Linds…" fully intending the double meaning of her words to sink in to both Lindsay and Mac.

Lindsay blushed at her cousin's comment, looked over at Mac who now appeared to have a sly grin on his face. 'Oh shit…he knows' Lindsay groans in her head…

"Jessica…go sit over there for a minute" pointing to some chairs in a waiting area before she turns to Mac…

"Mac…I'm so sorry…I don't know what she has told you but…"

Her voice trails off as she notices Mac closing in on her. He places a hand on each of her arms that are by her side, leans in close and whispers in her ear "Lindsay…it is ok but I would like to know more about this shirt of mine that brings out my eyes…I should wear it more often"

Before Lindsay can register what is happening…Mac releases his hold on her and walks out the front doors.

Jessica who has witnessed this…jumps from her seat, running back to where Lindsay still hasn't moved a muscle since the interaction and tries to get her cousin's attention…It took Jess a few times calling Lindsay's name and a couple pinches later before Lindsay realized Jessica was trying to get her attention.

"Jessica…what did you tell him?"

Jessica just laughs… "Well…my work here is done"

"Jess, this is not funny, Detective Taylor is my boss…he could file sexual harassment charges against me or transfer me"

"Oh my god Linds…were you even in the same room as me just now…did you see the way he was looking at you…trust me, the last thing on his mind was filing sexual harassment charges"

"Still Jess, I do have to work with him, fairly closely at times and I don't want my attraction to him to affect the way we work together and another thing…you are SO not off the hook for walking around New York City alone when I was put in charge of making sure you stay safe" Lindsay says sternly but she knows she can never stay mad with Jess

"You are just made because I told Mac that you have a crush on him" Jess said while trying to contain her laughter

"You did not use those words…please tell me you did not tell Mac I have a crush on him…"

"Don't worry…not in those words…but trust me, he now knows you are attracted to him…and maybe how you figure out ways to touch him during your demonstrations" Jess could barely get the words out because she was laughing so hard.

Instead of commenting, Lindsay just groans and pulls Jessica back on the streets of New York to the subway tunnel. Lindsay watches Jessica board the next train and gave her specific instructions to get her butt back to the apartment and told Jessica that she would call home to make sure she actually made it back safely. Lindsay was planning on taking a sick day tomorrow to spend the day sight seeing with Jessica, so she didn't feel bad about Jessica being at home all day.

Lindsay pager has been going off since she started dragging Jessica to the subway and now since she was watching Jessica as the train was leaving the station, did she remove her pager from her belt to read it. It was from Mac, she was needed at a crime scene… 'This is going to be a long day' Lindsay thought as she made her way back to where her car was parked at the crime lab.
