Well this is my first In Plain Sight story. Actually I just recently got into the series itself, so please let me know what you think of it! Needless to say, but I own nothing USA network does… I think…well its not mine 

Chapter 1:

Mary Shannon awoke as the sun streamed through her window. She couldn't believe how long she'd slept, but the past few days events, and the crying bit she had over her dad last night, had taken its toll. As much as she wanted to continue sleeping she had work to do today so she hauled herself out of bed and took a shower.

After her shower she dressed and went to the kitchen for her usual morning cup of coffee and was surprised to see a whole breakfast waiting for her.

"What's this? Ok who broke what?" Mary asked. "Or who's just broke?"

"Ha ha, very funny." Brandi said with a smile. "I just, wanted to thank you for what you did for me, and I know the best way is through your stomach, so I made pancakes and eggs. Let me know if you want something else, I can totally make it for you."

"No squish, this-this is great." Mary said sitting down in front of a plate of food.

Not five bites into the delicious meal and Mary's phone rang. She glanced down at the phone to see who it was that was disturbing her meal.

"Marshall this better be damn good. You're disturbing me and my breakfast." Mary said answering her phone.

"Oh my apologies, should I tell Stan you were coming in sometime today or should I tell him you're having an affair with your breakfast?"

"I'll be right in." She said and then clicked her phone off. "Hey, save these for me later?"

"Yeah, no problem." Brandi said with a smile though her voice broke clearly showing her disappointment.

"It really was the best ever squish. I'm going to have to save your ass more often." Mary told her sister, giving her a smile while putting on her jacket and heading out the front door.

Mary jumped into her car sighing and crossing her fingers that the stupid thing would even start, let alone get her to the office. As it slowly grumbled to a start she let out a breath that she didn't know she was holding. I really need to get a new car.

Marshall sighed as he hung up his phone. He hated to admit even to himself that he had been worried when Mary was ten minutes late. Even though that was a normal event for her in the past, ever since she had been kidnapped he couldn't help but stare at his phone, wanting, almost needing, to call and check up on her.

Marshall chuckled. He was acting ridiculous. He shook his head and closed the case file that was opened in front of him and opened another one.

Stan came walking out of his office and looked around the small little rooms.

"Can I help you find something Stan?" Marshall asked following his bosses erratic movement s with his eyes.

"Where's Mary?" Stan asked.

"Uh, not in yet, but she's on her way. Why what's up." Marshall asked.

"Oh, uh, noth-nothing. I just have a witness for her." Stan said and headed back to his office.

Marshall nodded and returned back to his work in front of him, clearly he wasn't the only one worried about Mary since that crappy day

Mary walked out of the elevator and slid her card and opened the door to their office. She walked over to her desk and sat down.

"You know Mary, when you're going to be late you could let us know." Marshall said not looking up from his case file.

"I'm sorry I didn't let my keeper know where I was. Next time I'll be sure to call you every five minutes to let you know what I'm doing. Better yet you could get me a collar with a tracking device in it." Mary said her anger rising.

"All I'm saying is that the kidnapping thing has us a little on the edge."

"Has you 'a little on the edge?' I'm sorry for causing you such trouble next time I'll think about what it'll do to you and Stan before I get kidnapped." Mary said slamming closed a drawer she had been looking through.

Before Marshall had a chance to apologize for his unreasonable outburst, Stan came out of his office and walked up to Mary's desk.

"Mary, I got a new witness for you." Stan said handing her a folder.

"Well, where are they?" Mary asked looking around for someone sitting at a table looking as if they'd lost everything.

"Well you see that's the thing. I need you to go pick them up. We're a little short handed these days and there won't be anyone able to go and get her for quite a while, and I think it would be best if we got her into our custody as soon as possible." Stan explained.

"Fine where is…" Mary asked opening the file. "Amber?"

"She's up in Farmington." Stan said awaiting her outburst that was soon to come from the news of the 6 hour round trip through the desert.

"Fine, I need some fresh air anyway." She said glancing quickly at Marshall before grabbing her badge and gun and headed for the exit.

"Wait, I'll go with you." Marshall offered starting to grab his gear.

"Don't bother; this shouldn't be too much trouble, no need for both of us to be bothered by it. Oh, and don't worry I'll make sure to call you if I get lost and won't be home in time for dinner." Mary said before leaving the office and heading to the elevator.

Marshall had his hands up in surrender and looked to Stan on what he should do about the situation.

"Let her go. She's right it shouldn't take two marshals to transport this witness, and clearly she needs to be on her own anyway." Stan said and headed for his office. "She'll call if she needs help."

"Yeah, I'm sure." Marshall said as he sat down and continued working on his own witnesses.
