A/N- Right then, yes hello there. New story centered on Katie and it's an interesting one. Can't say for certain there will be any Naomily or Keffy in this :O I know I know it's shocking yeah? but then I can't say for definite that there won't. Have to wait and see. Anyway, this takes it's inspiration from the new show Graceland so that might hint at the general gist of the story. Oh also you should go and check out The Missing Redhead by Django1992, it's a brilliant story that mixes Skins with Doctor Who! Anyway, on with the show!

Katie's eyes slowly opened up as the first rays of sunlight pierced the thin curtains of her bedroom. She groaned in annoyance and decided to stay in bed for a few more minutes. She was glad that this was only her first day of work at her new job; she'd had a month get used to her new city and to get over the jet-lag which came from traveling from the United Kingdom all the way over the ocean to Long Beach, one of the largest cities in the California area. After a moment the young women summed up the energy and practically jumped out of the bed, stretching to get all the kinks out she smiled to herself as she contemplated the day. She still had a few hours before she was due at her new work and, because the day was already looking fantastic and her house backed out onto the beach, she figured she'd go for a run. She quickly dressed in a pair of running shorts and a sports bra, retrieved her iPod from its dock and headed outside onto the beach. As she ran she let herself zone out a little, letting her thoughts race through her mind. She'd felt bad, leaving home to come over here. She'd been leaving her whole family and her mum had taken it harder than anyone, Jenna had already lost one of her daughters, Katie's twin sister Emily, to America so to lose another was incredibly difficult on her. Katie felt a twist of pain in her heart when she thought of her sister, they'd been close once but had drifted apart, and then she'd just up and left one day, not long after their 18th birthday, leaving just a note to say she was going to the US, to California. How could Katie have said no when the job offer came up? She knew it was a long shot but maybe she could find Emily. Katie sighed to herself and came to a stop, only breathing heavily a little. She smiled in response to another runner waving at them and took in the view she was greeted to of the sea; now that you didn't get in England.

"Where are you Emily?"

She whispered to herself before she turned and started her run back to her home.

She didn't know where she was.

She didn't know who she was.

She only knew what she needed; more, always more.

She could feel the urge, the need, growing inside of her. It was pulling at her, yanking at her very being. She moaned a little and heard someone laugh; it felt like they were so far away.

"What is it my flower?"

A rough male voice asked and she struggled to focus on who it was.

"More."

She uttered weakly and the man laughed.

"You want more of the Ambrose? Is that it?"

She nodded.

"Well I suppose we could arrange that, for our best customer. Hardbeck! Get another shot would ya."

The man shouted and she zoned out for a time, her thoughts all over the place. She was sure there was something important she was missing, some crucial part of her….gone. But she couldn't grasp what. Then she felt something jab into her arm and she let out a yelp of pain.

"Hush now little one, here's your hit."

The man uttered soothingly and she felt herself smiling as a wave of peace and pleasure washed over her. All her pain and nasty thoughts washed away and she felt herself smiling as she surrendered to oblivion.

Katie hummed to herself as she stepped out of her car and looked round the underground parking lot she had driven into. The temperature outside was roasting and Katie was glad she'd gone for a black skirt and a short-sleeved white shirt. She was still trying to get over the fact that the building her new job was in was such a mundane, run of the mill building; she'd been expecting something else. Shaking her head slightly she headed over to the lift and called it down to her, stepping into it when it arrived.

"Hold the lift!"

A man's voice called out and Katie kept the doors from closing as a young blonde man ran into the lift.

"Thanks, thought I wasn't going to make it for a minute. 10th please."

The man stated and Katie smiled before pressing the button for the tenth floor before hitting the button for the top floor.

"You're new here aren't you?"

"Yes, I start today."

Katie stated.

"Wow, you're English!? Cool."

The man exclaimed and Katie smiled.

"My names Maxxie by the way."

The man, Maxxie stated, and held out his hand.

"Katie."

Katie replied in kind and shook Maxxie's hand.

"Nice to meet you Katie, nice to have you on board. Well this is me."

Maxxie smiled at her as the lift stopped and the doors slid open, the blonde stepping out. Katie smiled after him, watching his departing back before the lift doors slid slid. She frowned and shook her head, it wasn't called a lift over here, it was an elevator. She really did have to get in the habit of all these different names for things. The lift finally reached the top floor and Katie stepped into what could only be described as a waiting area with a single desk opposite the elevator with a girl sat behind it. Katie took a breath and approached the desk.

"Hello there, I have an appointment with Director Tomone."

The blonde girl looked up and smiled.

"Ah yes, you're expected, head right in."

Katie nodded and headed past the desk to the door behind it and entered the office that was held past it. The office was devoid of anything that was overly sentimental apart from a single picture frame on the desk. The owner of the desk was standing with their back to Katie, looking out of the window at the city outside.

"Ah Katie, wonderful to finally meet you."

The figure stated with a deep voice with a trace of a French accent as they turned round.

"I'm Director Thomas Tomone."

He introduced himself, a smile on his face. Thomas was dressed impeccably in a grey suit and Katie felt for him in the heat.

"Thank you sir."

"Please, take a seat."

Katie complied and sat down in a chair and Thomas sat in his behind the desk.

"And let me say Katie, formally and officially, welcome to FBI."
