Hey everyone,
New story. Obviously. Ok this is an idea that has been in my head a while and I decided to share it with the world so to speak. Now obviously I do not own ANY ONE you recognise or any story lines that sound familiar to the show. This is going to be a cross over obviously and in the beginning it will just be CSI's Miami and New York, but will eventually include Las Vegas, original CSI and NCIS. So I hope you enjoy this and please let me know what you think.
Shazzzzzza
The sound of heels could be heard through out the lab as a woman who stood at approximately five foot seven strode purposefully towards her destination. Her strawberry blonde hair swayed over her shoulders with every step, although she was in suit pants and a modest crème top you could still tell that she definently looked after herself. Finally she had reached the office of Horatio Caine and her light blue / gray eyes swept over it. Seeing that the person she wanted to see was in the room she raised her hand to the door way and made her presence known. The man in the office looked up and a grin could be seen.
"Come in, have a seat. What can I do for you Jordan?"
"Well, I came to tell you that I have got a job."
"I know, you work here."
"Very funny dad, I mean I got the job under Mac Taylor in New York."
"That's excellent. When do you start?"
"In a week and a half. But I'm moving to New York by the end of the week so that I have a week to settle in and everything."
"Your mother would be so proud of you." He said the smile faltering for just a second. "I tell you what, I'll come with you and help you get settled and what not."
"But you have a lot to do here dad, I can't ask you to drop everything just to help me move."
"Nonsense, I have some time off that the department wants me to take anyway. So it's settled."
"Thanks dad, well I have to get going. I need to pick up some more packing boxes. So I'll see you later."
"Sure. What are you doing tomorrow for Lunch?"
"Nothing yet, why?"
"How about we go out to lunch? My treat," he asked with a hopeful look on his face.
"Sure, I will meet you here at 12:30. Bye dad." She responded whilst giving her father a hug. "Bye sweet heart." And with that Jordan Caine walked out of the office and the crime lab in to the warm Miami sun.
As Jordan left to find some more boxes Horatio picked up his phone and punched the speed dial number 3 and waited for the phone to be answered.
"Duquesne."
"Calleigh its Horatio, I need to see you in my office for a few minutes as soon as possible please."
"Sure I just have to finish packing away the evidence and I will be right there." And with that Horatio hung up the phone and watched out his window. A few moments later a knock signaled Calliegh's presence. "I guess you know about Jordan's new job?"
"Yeah, she told me a couple of hours ago."
"I want to give her a surprise party to say farewell."
"That's a great idea; I will help any way I can."
"Well I have some things I have to do before I take some time off, and unfortunately I don't have the time to set it up so I was wondering if you could take care of it. We can have it in the break room and it doesn't need to be anything to flash. Just show that even though she may be in a different state we all still love her and won't forget her."
"Shall do, and I'll get Ryan and Delko to help me. See you later."
Calleigh strode through the lab and conveniently found the two people she was looking for in the break room having some lunch. "Hey guy's," she said to them as she took a seat at the table. "Hey, Calleigh." Ryan replied for both men.
"I need your help with something."
"Sure. What is it?"
"Well because Jordan got that job in New York Horatio wants to give her a farewell party. But he is a bit busy so he has asked me to put it together and allowed us to use the break room for it. I was wondering if the pair of you could do invites and I will go get some food tonight."
"Sure. What do we need to tell them?"
"Well, be in here at about 12:30, and that it's to farewell Jordan. Oh and remember it's a surprise so make sure to make that clear. Thanks guys."
"Anytime." They replied as their beepers went of and left the room.
The next day saw Jordan standing in her father's office in a black skirt and light pink top waiting for her father to return from collecting his results. He had been gone for about ten minutes when Jordan decided that she was going to find him. As she walked through the lab looking for him she realized that the lab was very quiet and almost everyone had disappeared. After heading to the trace lab and not seeing her father or any one else for that matter in the lab she called his cell. She heard it ring out and thought that it was odd that her father was not answering his cell. So she continued to search the lab. Soon she reached the break room and found that the lights had been turned off. She walked forward and turned them on to be met with the majority of the labs workers shouting surprise at her. She stared in shock at the people in front of her and her eyes came to rest on the team that she had been a part of for so long.
Ryan, Calleigh, Delko, Detective Tripp and Alexx were in the middle of the room with proud looks on their faces. She spent the afternoon chatting and saying good byes to every one and slowly made her way to the team. First she said good bye to Ryan, who although was still kind of new to the team felt a lot like a big brother. Next she said bye to detective Tripp who unfortunately had to leave to finish some reports but promised that if he was ever in New York he would make sure to visit. Delko was next, even though they both smiled it was becoming increasingly obvious that Jordan was holding back tears. Then she turned to see Alexx and Calleigh and neither Calleigh nor Jordan could hold it in any more. The three girls hugged whilst saying their good byes and threatening each other that they had to write and to visit once in a while. After a few minutes they looked at each other and then began laughing at themselves. They then led her over to a table that had a few parting gifts on it from the lab. She opened them to find a very expensive looking bracelet with the words you will always be part of the team, written on the back and some candles and wine. She thanked everyone for the gifts and reminded them that they weren't necessary to which a mini uproar of objections was returned.
Two hours later Jordan was packing boxes into a delivery truck which would take them to New York in a couple of days once she had contacted them with an address. As she picked up the last box she looked around her empty apartment and finally it dawned on her. At the age of 25 she had gone through her schooling, got her degree in forensic science and was now moving to another state to prove that she had what it takes to make the Caine family name proud.
She shut and locked her apartment door for the last time, dropped her keys off with the land lord and made her way to her father's house. This would be the last time she would see the house that she had grown up in for a long time. She had so many fond memories of this house and she hoped that if she ever had children that they would be able to look back on the house they grew up in and remember only happiness and warmth and love. She knocked on her father's door and then let herself in to find him hanging up the phone. "I thought we could have some Chinese and watch a movie before bed."
"Excellent idea. After moving all those boxes into the truck I can't think of anything else I would rather do." She said smiling up at her father and making her way to the movie cabinet to pick out a movie. That night was one neither Caine would forget, they reminisced about working together and told each other hopes for the future and at about midnight they went to bed knowing that although one chapter may have ended in their lives, but a new one was beginning.
