Chapter 1 Meet the Newbie
disclaimer: Dont' own CSI: NY just Alexa Kyler
------------------------------------------------------------

'This was going to be a long day,' Flack thought as he walked into the NYPD precinct holding a cup of coffee. He had tripped getting out of bed, spilt coffee all over his kitchen floor, and was running late. "Hey Flack there's some hot chica waiting for you at you desk." Jose said passing him.

"Thanks Jose." Flack said over his shoulder as he walked to his desk. And there she was sitting at the unoccupied desk across from his. She wasn't hot she was beautiful and exquisite. She had long curly flaming red hair and crystallized green eyes. Her favorite color must be blue, because she was wearing a blue top covered by her black blazer, her class ring had a blue center, and she was wearing blue earrings. 'Maybe this day won't be so bad after all.' He thought walking over to her. As he got closer he noticed on her belt a NYPD badge and then he noticed her gun. 'She's a cop,' he thought to himself with a smile. "Hello I'm Detective Don Flack, how can I help you?" he asked standing in front of her.

She stood up with a smile. "Detective Alexa Kyler, transferred from St. Pete Florida. I'm your new partner." She said extending her left hand.

'And she's not married.' Flack noted as he shook her hand. Her voice was sweet and with just a hint of southern accent. "Nice to meet you Alexa." He said as he sat down. "So Florida uh?" he asked.

"Yes, born and raised. My dad is a cop in St. Pete and my Uncle is a cop in Nichols, NY." She said looking at him. "Your probably wondering why I left. I needed a change in scenery and I hate the heat."

"You always been interested in being a cop?" he asked.

"Yeah, when I was 16 I joined the Police Explorers and learned police techniques, I got to shoot, and do ride-a-longs. Then I graduated from high school and college a month before my 18th birthday. When I was 20 I was hired by St. Pete PD. 4 years later passed my Detectives test, got promoted and now 2 years later I'm here." She explained.

"Wow, impressive." Flack said which caused her to blush.

"So, how about you?" she asked curiously.

He smiled. "I come from a long line of cops. Father, Grandfather, Great-Grandfather were all cops." He said.

Alexa laughed. "Ahh well that neat, then again not."

Flack arched his brow. "How so?" He asked, but before Alexa could answer his phone rang. "Sorry," he said and answered it. "Flack…alright we'll be enroute." He said and hung up. Smiling at her he said. "We've got a dead body in Brooklyn."

"Let's go." She said getting up. Flack shook his head and they left.

They ended up atop a rocky sloped shore where 10 feet below was a body entangled in seaweed. "So which one of us wants to go down to see if there is an ID on the vic?" Flack questioned.

Alexa just shrugged her shoulder. "I'll do it." She said and walked back to the cruiser. She came back 3 minutes later wearing tennis shoes and leather gloves. Flack watched in amazement as she slowly descended down to the body. She was careful but seemed to have lots of experience. He watched her as she found a wallet. She stood up, her hair blowing in the wind as she placed the wallet into an evidence bag.

By now Danny Messer and Sheldon Hawkes had arrived and walked up to Flack. "So Flack I hear you have a new partner, where is he?" Danny asked, he loved getting a newbie just so he can have fun bestowing jokes and trouble on them.

"It's a she and she's down there." Flack pointed down to Alexa who was folding the evidence bag and placing it in her back pocket.

"She climbed down there?" Hawkes questioned.

"Yep, and no Danny I didn't make her. She offered." Flack said as Alexa reached the top. He reached out to her and helped her up.

"Female victim her name is Haylie Jerod." Alexa said reading the drivers liscence.

"Danny Messer, Sheldon Hawkes meet Detective Alexa Kyler. She transferred from Florida." Flack introduced.

"Hey, nice to meet you. You always do that?" Danny asked.

"I love rocking climbing, though its no ledge it's still fun." Alexa replied laughing. "Now if you gentlemen will excuse me I'm going to run a background check on our victim here. So enjoy getting down there." She said and walked off.

"Amazing partner you got there Flack." Hawkes said as he sat his kit down.

"So, Danny are we going to do a coin toss to see who's going down there?" Hawkes asked.
