Special Agent Dwayne Pride set at his desk waiting for the rest of the crew to arrive. Working as a federal agent had it's ups and downs, but working for NCIS in New Orleans, Well he wouldn't change that for the world. Dwayne was a native, born and raised and he had a beautiful and gifted daughter named Laurel. Dwayne had been divorced from his wife of 23 years, Linda for over a year now. His relationship with his dad, Cassius Pride was not very good. Seeing as he was sitting in prison. A former cop himself. His Dad took bribes among other things, Dwayne loved this city though. He was determined to make it better.

Suddenly Special Agents, Chris LaSalle, Tammy Gregario, Sebastian Lund and Sonja Percy came loudly through the door. This was his crew. Only people missing were Patton Plame the savvy computer tech, Triple P as he would call himself and Maggie Kane, the secretary or lately she really couldn't figure out what she really was. Maggie was the last to come onboard. She was a life saver according to Agent Gregario. Maggie was the light in the dark according to Chris and Patton. Percy considered her to good to be true, Sebastian thought she was sweet and Pride, well Maggie wished she knew what he really thought of her.

Ever since Maggie walked through the door 9 months ago she noticed Dwayne. He was handsome and sweet and boy he sure could play a piano. They started working late and got to know each other. They would sit up all night, just talking and eating. The man could cook. Problem is now…Maggie has feelings for him and it's getting harder to hide them. It doesn't help that Linda has started to come back around. She wonders how did this happen? At first he was just her boss. Nice, friendly and sweet. Then he started to teach her piano and she slowly became close to him and she was actually having a good time . He seemed to care about her well being and would help her anyway he could. She knew this was forbidden. They were adults but she was his employee. She knew he would never be interested in her. He didn't look at her like that. Besides with Linda sniffing around, Maggie knew where Dwayne's mind was focused. Still though...she was falling in love with him more and more as each day passed. She couldn't bear to see him with another woman. Especially not with her.

Suddenly, Pride yelled...we have a case...Marine Sgt. found dead in Jackson Square..let's roll. Before he left he looked up at Maggie in her office behind the glass wall. She smiled at him and he waved bye to her. She wished everyday he would wake up and notice her.
