Chapter 1

Don Flack was standing in the precinct flipping through a case file he had just received from one of the CSIs. As he turned the page, something crashed into his back causing him to fall forward. Straitening up he noticed a pair of legs wrapped around his waist and felt hands gripping his shoulders. Before he could turn his head to identify the attacker a voice spoke

"Donald Flack Jr. I go on vacation for two damn weeks and you forget me."

"Lore?" He asked as he turned his head to see set of pretty green eyes looking at him

"Yes. You know your best friend for god knows how long."

"What are you doing back? I was supposed to pick you up tomorrow"

"No, I said the 15th and today is the 15th. I had to beg Danny to come pick me up."

"Hey Fernando what's today's date ?!" Don yelled as the woman slide off of his back.

"The 15th!" A large Latino man yelled back before taking a sip of coffee. Don turned to the woman and put on his puppy dog eyes.

"I'm sorry. I'll make it up to you, I'll buy us dinner." Lorelei crossed her arms

"You better." Don smiled and hugged the woman

"How was the trip to Miami?" He asked as he picked up her overstuffed leather suitcase

"Great I met a really great cop while I was down there." She pushed the button on the elevator as the pair walked in

"A cop? Don't you get enough of them here?"

"Yeah but he was Cuban, gorgeous and off duty." She gave him a megawatt smile

He shook his head as they walked off of the elevator and walked onto a floor that had all glass walls, giving them a full view of everyone in the criminal lab. The woman smiled as an average height, dark haired woman ran full speed towards them. Once the dark haired woman reached the pair she pulled the other woman into a large hug.

"Lore you're back! How was Miami? Did you meet anyone? Did you have fun with anyone?" She asked excited to see her friend

"Aiden did you miss me?" The woman laughed

"I'll tell you everything later but I have to go find Mac" Aiden waved the suggestion off

"We just got a new tech and you have to meet him. He's weirder than you are."

The woman looked shocked and looked at Don

"Is that true? Have you replaced my enjoyable and amusing amount of weirdness?"

"No, I think you're worse but I've known you longer."

"Alright let's meet this fellow weirdo."

Aiden dragged both Don and the woman to the DNA lab. She stopped in front of a desk where a red headed man was standing over a microscope singing to the music he had playing in his earphones. Aiden leaned over and pulled an earphone out

"Adam!" The man jumped and turned towards them

"Aiden I don't have your results back but I'm working on it." He said as he looked at the new people

"That's great Adam. Lore this is Adam our new tech. Adam this is Lorelei Taylor our CSI that just got back from vacation."

"Lorelei isn't that-"

"I had the name before that TV show came along. Damn show stole my name made it into a household name. It used to be unique" Adam nodded his head then stopped abruptly

"Taylor? As in Mac Taylor?" Lorelei scratched the back of her head

"No just an weird conscience. Aiden, Don and I have to leave" Lorelei looked at her desperate to leave

"Oh yeah I'll see you later."

Lorelei turned towards Adam. She smiled at his unusual work attire, usually people wore suits to try to look professional but he wore jeans and a t-shirt giving him that edge people remembered.

Leaving the DNA lab closely followed by Don, who was still hauling her over packed bag behind him. Lorelei put her 'game face' on as she walked towards a tall, older man with a strict aura and firm eyes. He stood in front of his office talking to a tall woman that had curly hair and a genuine smile. As the pair walked up Lorelei was greeting yet again with a hug and a smile.

"How are feeling kid?" The woman asked

"I'm fine Stella. You look great have you been told that yet today?"

Stella laughed and handed the man a file

"I have to go find Danny we have a lead. Have you guys seen him? He just disappeared this morning after we got back to the lab." Lorelei blushed and looked a the ground

"Sorry Stella. I kind of kidnapped Danny, he came to pick me up because SOMEONE forgot me" She looked at Don while emphasizing the 'someone'. He put his hands up in defense

"I said I was sorry" Both woman turned away from him.

"Drinks later?" Stella asked. Lorelei shook her head

"Sorry I was promised a nice dinner then I might go to bed early. How about Saturday?"

"Saturday is perfect. Danny!!!" Stella took off after Danny. The man looked at Don then addressed Lorelei.

"What are you doing back?" He asked sending Lorelei into a defensive mood. Her eyes narrowed as her hands found her waist.

"It's been almost 2 months. I'm fine and was cleared by a doctor a month ago."

"You don't get shot then just jump back into work"

"I'm not jumping back into work, I stayed at home for over a month then went on vacation for two weeks. I've had enough time off Mac."

Don watched the two bicker back and forth and quickly noticed they were drawing a crowd, so the detective decided to interrupt

"Uh guys…Lore...Mac.." The pair ignored him, he sighed then physically stepped in the middle

"People are starting to watch. Why don't we bring this into your office Mac?" He suggested

Without saying a word both walked into the office still glaring at each other. Don followed shaking his head and closing the door tightly. He turned his head back to the fight.

"I will not take that tone from you. Lorelei I am your elder and will be treated with respect."

"Stop acting like my father for Christ sake"

"I am your father."

"Not when we're at work you're not. Remember that conversation we had when I first started because I do."

Mac's eyes softened and he looked her over for the first time to see if she really was as fine as she said. Don took this time to jump in

"Mac I talked to the doctor before she left, he said she was good to go. I made sure she was fine." Lorelei sighed and pinched the top of her nose.

"If it will make you feel better I will go down and get Sheldon to clear me." Mac nodded while keeping eye contact with her

"Fine, get the doc to clear you then I'll put you on the next case that comes up."

"Prefect" Without a goodbye Lorelei stormed out of Mac's office and Don ran after her, this time leaving her bag with Mac.

As the floors passed her in the elevator Lorelei could feel her anger dissipate and she started to tap her foot to the slow, sleep inducing elevator music. Don saw this and his smirk came back to his face. As the doors opened to show the precinct Don turned to Lorelei

"I'll see you at home later?" Lorelei looked up to see her friends bright blue eyes looking at her worriedly, so she flashed him a grin

"Of course seeing as you have to take me to an expensive restaurant first."

Don laughed as he stepped out and watched as the door closed. Lorelei leaned back, closed her eyes and hummed along to the music. A soft ding awoke Lorelei from her music coma. The steel doors opened to reveal a dark basement that almost empty except for the couple tables sitting in the middle. She stepped into the crypt and looked around trying to find any sign of life.

"Hello?" She called out

"Lorelei?" A man poked his head out of a closet type of looking room. He spotted her, smiled and walked toward her

"Sheldon! My main man. How's the dead doing?"

"They're doing fine. We've actually been having a slow month" He hugged her

"I need you to check me out, and tell Mac that I can work."

"Yeah sure. Get on the table and take your shirt off." Lorelei smiled teasingly

"I bet you say that to all of the girls."

She jumped p onto the cold, metal table. She undid the buttons on her shirt and slid it down and off of her shoulders. Sheldon gently touched her abdomen, examining her latest wound. His fingers traced the circular scar checking for infection.

Lorelei shivered and looked down at the doctor

"You know you could invest in a heater for down here" Sheldon laughed as he took his gloves off

"Well usually everyone that comes down here would decompose if it was too warm."

"OH am I interrupting?" Lorelei turned around to see an older man looking at them.

"Sid! I'm back aren't you going to say hi?" She said waving at him to come over

"No I'll let you kids finish. I'll come back" Sheldon and Lorelei looked at each other then back at Sid. Sheldon clued in first and motioned for Lorelei to cover up

"Sid I was just checking her bullet wound and clearing her for work" Sheldon chuckled as the old man walked over to the table and kissed Lorelei on the cheek.

"Good to have you back. With you gone I had no one to tell my stories to."

"Sid I have to be honest I missed your stories the most, the were my daily entertainment."

Lorelei jumped off of the table and landed on the cold, hard ground. Sheldon grabbed her hands and hoisted her jump onto her feet. She brushed off her shirt and looked at both men.

"Well gents I must be going, if I stay down here I might catch a cold. Plus I have a nice date to get to."

Lorelei skipped back into the elevator and continued her way back up to the crime lab.

Reviews????????? I would be your best friend. Really I would.
