It was supposed to be a regular day at the precinct. Flack was going to meet his new partner. All he new was that he or she was from Texas. He drove over to the station and walked toward his desk. A redhead walked over to him. She had beautiful red hair that came down a little pass her shoulders. She was 5'4 and had gorgeous green eyes.

"Are you Don Flack?" She asked with a nervous smile.

"It depends whose asking?" He replied

"Samantha Caulfield. I just transferred here from Texas DPD." She replied still smiling nervously.

"In that case I am Don Flack. Nice to meet you." He shook her hand.

"Nice to meet you too. Now this oughta be fun." She said

"What's gonna be fun?" He asked slightly confused.

"The two of us talking. You have a nice New York accent."

"And you have a cool Texas accent." They both laughed. "So do you know the city yet?"

"No not yet and I'm dyin' for a cup of decent coffee." She said with a real smile. Flack laughed.

"I bet you are. The coffee here is crap. Come on I'll take you to get a real cup of Joe. Do you like strong coffee?"

"The stronger the better." She answered. They were walking out the door when Danny and Lindsay came running towards them.

"Whoa guys, slow down." He said

"I swear Flack I did not do it." He said trying to hold in his laughter.

"Do what Danny?" He asked. Danny pointed to Flack's car. Someone had taped paper all over his car.

"Happy Birthday to Donald Brendon Flack Jr." Was written in huge letters. A bunch of cops had come out to see his reaction. The papers were signed by almost everyone Flack knew. Flack was completely shocked. .

"Whose idea was this?" He asked

"Montana's!" Danny yelled

"Lindsay!" Flack screamed. Lindsay ran and his behind Danny.

"Danny made me do it." She said.

The entire sidewalk erupted in laughter. Even Sam was laughing a little. Everyone wandered back into the station. Danny and Lindsay walked over to them.

"Who is this?" He asked motioning to Sam.

"This is my new partner Samantha Caulfield. Sam, this Danny Messer and Lindsay Monroe."

"Hi nice to meet the both of you."

"Yaw definitely not from New York, are you?"

"Dallas, Texas actually."

"Great another country girl." Danny said Lindsay smacked him in the head.

"Ignore him, everyone else does. I'm from Montana." Lindsay said.

"We're headed over to the lab. She hasn't had any real coffee in a while."

"That's we're I'm headed. We'll meet you guys there." Danny said. Sam took a marker out of her purse and walked over to Flack's car.

"What are you doing?" He asked.

"Well seeing as everyone else signed there name I think I should too. There you go 'Sam Caulfield NYPD'. Perfect."

"I think you and me are going to get along pretty good." He said. They started to take off the papers. Sam put them in a nice pile and placed them in the back of his car. They both they got in and he started to drive.

"What would you rather be called Samantha, Sam, or Sammy?"

"You can call me Sammy. What do I call you Don, Donnie, Donald, or Flack?"

"You can call me Don, Donnie, or Flack. Anything but Donald.

"Donnie sounds good." They both laughed.

"So do you like sports?"

"Huge football and baseball fan."

"Oh thank god!" He said

"Why?"

"That way on stakeouts you won't care if I put the game on." He replied and she laughed. "What are your favorite teams?"

"Well I'm a huge Cowboys and Giants fan and for baseball Yankees all the way."

"You are amazing."

"Thank you. So do you have any siblings?" She asked

"I got an older brother and his twin sister and a little sister.

"That's cool. I got five older brothers and a twin brother."

"Damn. All brothers must've been hard."

"It was really fun. So where exactly are you taking me?"

"I am taking you to the crime lab. You can meet the CSV's that we'll be working with."

"I though you said coffee?"

"I did. Across the street from the lab there is this diner/bar that has the best coffee in Manhattan.

"So how many CSIs am I going to meet?

"Well you already met Danny and Lindsay. There's Mac, Stella, and Sheldon. Then there's the lab tech Adam and the coroner Sid. I promise they are all really cool guys." He answered.

Meanwhile at the lab they also had a new person. Grace Anderson was a 5'6 beauty. She had brown hair that went down just underneath her jaw line. She had amazing blue eyes that looked beautiful against her slightly tanned skin. She walked up to Mac's office and knocked on the door.

"Come in." He said without looking up from his paperwork.

"Hi Mr. Taylor?" She asked.

"Ah, Grace Anderson"

"Yes, Sir."

"I've been expecting you. Don't call me Sir, its Mac. You don't remember me?"

"Oh man. I remember you. You're friends with my dad. When I told him that I wanted to transfer here he laughed."

"I used to work for your dad over at the CSI office in Chicago. The last time I saw you, you were seven years old. I heard you were quite the CSI."

"That's what my dad tells me."

"Well it's really good to see you again." He smiled and gave her a hug. Just then Stella walked in.

"Oh I'm sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt anything."

"Stella this is our new CSI, Grace Anderson. Grace this is my partner Stella Bonasera."

"Hi." Stella said. Both women shook hands.

"Grace you'll sharing an office with another CSI. It's right down the hall, first door on your right."

"Ok. It's really great seeing you again, Mac." She said and then made her way down to her new office.

"What can I do for you Stell?"

"For starters you can tell me why you were hugging the new girl?"

"I used to work for her dad. I haven't seen her since she was seven. Was there something else you needed?"

"Just to tell you that the team is going out tonight and that you're coming. I am going to call Flack and tell him. And just to make sure that you don't try and get out of coming. I will be in your office at 8:05 on the dot to drag your ass out."

"What if I say that I don't want to go?" He said with a smile.

"Then I will be here at 8 to drag your ass out with us." She replied.

Sheldon walked into his office and noticed that that there was a beautiful woman sitting at the desk across from his.

"Can I help you, Miss?" He said.

"I'm Grace Anderson I think I'm your new partner." She replied with a small laugh.

"Well hi. I'm Sheldon Hawkes." He said smiling
