Melissa Createn entered the canteen of Boston PD to start her second day of loan to the homicide unit from NCIS. Her first day hadn't gone too well with all but Maura and Martinez taking an instant dislike to her on the team. She had heard Frost complain that she was replacing his technical capabilities, Korsak had remarked that she was just a youngster and Jane hadn't said a word. They had all just put their open files on her desk and then ignored her. Melissa had taken it in her stride however. All their files had been dealt with and only needed their signatures. She had updated the system and researched her colleagues to better understand how to act around them. Frankie Rizzoli had been the first person she had met from the team and even that had been disastrous. They had bumped into each other causing him to tip his coffee all over the files he had been carrying. Melissa had tried to help dry them off even offered to type them up again but Frankie ignored all attempts of assistance. Frankie was a bit of a mystery to Melissa. All the colleagues she had asked had said he was well mannered but quite often overshadowed by his big sister Jane but he had been off-hand to her only yesterday. Melissa was still trying to figure him out when she reached the counter of the canteen where Angela Rizzoli was waiting.
'Morning' Melissa greeted the older woman.
'Morning. You're early. What can I get you?'
'I never left. A tea please make it a strong one'
'Bad first day huh?' Angela asked as she started the tea.
