A/N: I do not own CSI NY

Description: with three home invasions and no evidence the CSI team is on edge, but it soon becomes personal when one of their own is attacked and left for dead. Can they figure it out in time? Mac/Adam

This was the third break-in this month and so far there was no evidence to be found and the team was beginning to get very frustrated. Mac strolled through the halls with files in his hand each one representing each break-in that has happened so far with the result being only one fatality. With a sigh he headed for the conference room. Stepping in, he placed the files at the head of the table then reached for his cell phone sending a text message to each member of the team telling them to meet him in the conference room, so they can go over the files. Mac sat down at the table and watched as each of his team members walked into the conference room, as they grabbed their chairs they sat each one grabbing the folders in front of them.

Mac looked at each one then stood up, "Alright so far there has been three break-ins and no evidence has been found! The only thing we have is the connection now let's try figure out what these victims have in common other then being robbed by the same person. I'm going to call Adam in I know he has the day off, but we need him in on this" Mac stated they nodded and got to work as he took out his cell.

Adam sighed as he finally rolled out of bed. He had the day off and he was going to make the most of it. He got up grabbed his clothes, and walked into his bathroom then started his shower. Adam sighed with content as the hot water poured down his body making him relax under the spray. He took the shampoo and lathered his hair then stepped under the spray to wash the soap out of his hair. He then took his body wash and began to wash his body all over. After he was clean he turned the water off, stepped out grabbed his towel then walked into his bedroom with his clothes to dress and that's when he heard his cell going off he quickly grabbed his phone his towel sliding off his body as he clicked answer before it went to voice mail.

"Ross!" Adam answered it was Mac.

"Adam I know your suppose to have the day off, but I need you too come in" Mac said with an apologetic voice, Adam sighed with regret.

"Ok! I just got out of the shower so let me get dressed and I'll be right in" Adam said, he could hear Mac smile a little on the other end

"Thanks Adam! I really appreciate it" Mac said with sincerity in his voice; Adam smiled and nodded.

"No problem Mac I'll see you in a bit" Adam said then hung up after saying good bye.

After hanging up he quickly got dressed. Adam then grabbed his wallet, keys, and cell before running out the door he grabbed himself a cup of coffee then processed out the door down the steps and straight for his car. He got in his car quickly and left for the lab. Adam pulled into the underground parking area; quickly parked then got out. He arrived up at the lab after gathering all of his stuff and walked into his area and just in time too because the team came walking with with an apologetic smile.

"Hey Adam sorry to call you in like that, but we really need help" Mac stated Adam smiled and nodded.

"That's ok Mac it's no biggie" Adam said they laughed.

Adam sat down after receiving the files from Mac to see if he could possibly make a connection, but after 3 hours of going over the files several times he just simply couldn't find any connection between the victims. With a frustrated grunt Adam threw the files down and ran his fingers through his hair. Then getting up he walked into the break room where he grabbed another cup of coffee just as Mac and the rest of the group walked in.

"Hey Adam did you get anything?" Jo asked as Adam turned and shook his head.

"No! Nada; nothing" Adam stated they sighed and sat down. "Sorry guys! I really am I mean I went over the files several times and still came up with a blank" the group nodded.

"It's ok Adam you did your best and that's all anyone can do" Danny stated, Adam smiled gratefully just as Flack came rushing in.

"Hey guys there was another attack" Flack stated they all groaned and then got up.

They grabbed their kits and followed Flack out of the lab and straight for the house that was broken into hoping that they will get some evidence this time. As they stepped into the home they could see the damage that had been done. Jo walked around the entrance hall and headed straight for the living room where she could focus on getting evidence while the others worked on r taking statements before getting into their other work. The team worked for at least 4 hours; when they finally covered every inch of the house Mac grunted in annoyance because once again there was no evidence.

"Alright we did what we could do let's get back to the lab" Mac announced as the group sighed and nodded.

Arriving back at the lab they hurried up to the 35th floor using the elevator they all soon arrived. They piled out and headed for their separate stations to work on what they did manage to gather as Mac walked into Adam's lab. Mac was about to catch the young man's attention. It was obvious that he was more focused on Adam then he was on the cases. He just stood and watched him work not realizing how beautiful Adam looked until he really stopped and looked. It was no secret that he had a crush on the lab technican you might actually call it love, but he couldn't tell Adam how he felt. He snapped out of his thoughts then cleared his throat catching Adam's attention who turned with a smile and he couldn't help, but smile back as he walked towards him.

"You got something for me Mac?" Adam asked.

"No unfortunately we don't! Yet again we have no evidence and this is getting to be ridiculous" Mac growled in anger Adam gulped and nodded nervously Mac saw this and immediately felt guilty "Sorry Adam, I'm not angry with you. I would never be angry with you" Mac said with a smile and Adam sighed with relief.

"That's ok Mac, I know your doing your best" Adam said Mac nodded.

"Well we do what we can, but anyway why don't you go ahead and go home! You've been here all day and it's almost 9:30 meaning it's late already" Mac said, Adam nodded with a smile.

"Ok thanks Mac" Adam stated happily Mac chuckled and nodded.

"Your welcome you can have the day tomorrow! I'll get one of the other techs to cover you. You deserve the break Adam" Mac said.

"Thank you Mac" Mac waved him off with a smile then turned and left.

Adam was very grateful to be able to head home and have the day off tomorrow. He looked over to where Mac was now and couldn't help, but blush truth be told he had a serious crush on the older man, but with him being his boss Adam believed that things couldn't go any further then them just being friends and that saddens him. With a heart filled sigh he gathered up his stuff and left for the night unaware of the danger that lurked.

Tbc...
