Author's Note: This is my first stab at writing a fanfic. Please leave reviews (constructive criticism is welcome!). CSI Miami/CSI NY crossover, kinda. This is going to be a Danny/OFC with some definite Mac/Stella going on! Enjoy!
Unexpected Surprises
The ringing of a phone woke Mac Taylor from a fitful sleep. The phone continued to ring as he lay in bed wondering who would be calling at 8:00 on his first Saturday off in over a month. Getting up, he went into the kitchen where he remembered leaving his phone the night before. On the caller id screen was the name Horatio Caine.
"Hello?" Mac answered wondering if Horatio had a case that needed his help.
"Mac, hi. It's Horatio. Look, I know it's Saturday morning, but I've got an urgent matter here that needs your attention."
"What's up?" Mac replied.
"Well, one of my new CSI's has been kidnapped. Her mother is here on vacation and said that I needed to contact you." Horatio explained.
"Ok. What's your CSI's name? Where is she from?" Mac questioned trying to figure out why this woman's mother would be requesting him.
"Sarah Collins. She's from North Carolina originally. She's been on the job for about 6 months. The guy broke into her apartment last night. Knocked the mother out and took Sarah. He called one of my other CSI's, Delko, early this morning demanding a ransom of one million dollars."
"Wow. This doesn't sound random. Why would the mother want me if she is from North Carolina?" asked Mac still trying to make a connection.
"Well," Horatio began, "she says that she knew you when you were in the Marines and that you should get here soon. Mac," Horatio paused trying to find the best way to put this, "the mother's name is Rachel Collins and she says that you are Sarah's father."
Mac stood in stunned silence as he let the words sink in. He remembered Rachel. He had loved Rachel in his own way, but that way did not include anything other than the three months they spent together in the summer of 1983. He had a daughter. He couldn't believe it.
"Horatio, I'll be in Miami by 3:00. Keep me updated." Click. He had to pack.
