Hey, you may have seen this story before on my old account which I lost. But since I found the chapters I am going to continue it on this account. However it's not going to be a crossover as such. It will be two stories, I am going to do the CSINY story first then the NCIS after. Reviews please.

I own nothing...

Detective Mac Taylor strolled into his office with a sigh of relief to see that everything was running as usual in his lab. Unfortunately this was the last time he'd be in his office for a whole week. Only ever taken 5 and half days off in the 13 years he'd been in the NYPD, Sinclair had decided to send Mac and his team on a team-building course for a whole week in the wilderness. Oh well, I wonder if they'll take it better than I did. Mac thought for a few minutes remising on the reaction he produced when he was told. It was short lived when Stella Bonersera appeared in his doorway.

''Mac, you wanted to see me?'' She asked weary of her partner's expression which at the best of times was hard to read.

''Yeah Stel, could you gather everyone and bring them in here in 5 minutes, I have an announcement to make...'' He informed the curly haired woman standing 6 feet away.

''Sure thing,'' Stella replied wondering what this was about as she turned to walk out of his office and within a few seconds she was out of sight.

A few minutes later she reappeared, accompanied with Danny Messer, Lindsay Monroe, Sheldon Hawkes, Adam Ross, Don Flack and even Payton Driscoll. Lindsay, Stella and Payton sat on the couch surrounded by Adam, Flack, Sheldon and Danny all facing their boss with worried faces. Mac stared out of the huge glass window and sighed. This is not good... not good at all. Danny thought when he heard his boss's deep breath before he began to talk.

''Right, this is going to be short and sweet. I'm about as happy about this as you are so don't shoot the messenger alright...'' Mac began specifically looking at Danny and Flack. ''... Sinclair has decided to send us on a 'Team Building Course' in the wilderness for 7 Days. We leave tomorrow morning at 6am. We will go in two cars so decided between yourselves who will go in which car. I and Stella will be driving. Oh and pack your swimming costumes there will be a lake where you can wash.'' He finished gazing out of the window again before making eye contact with the surprised CSI's individually

''Wow Mac, I mean woah...'' Lindsay breathed breaking the silence.

''I suggest you finish up here, go pack and get goodnights sleep, I don't want any crap about not feeling well enough to go alright!'' Mac's tone was a little sterner this time as he opened the door which signalled the others that it was their time to leave. One by one they filed out of his office. Each sharing looks of concern but with a giggle from Stella and Lindsay, they all said goodnight and went their separate ways.

4:30 am.

*Bleep bleep, Bleep bleep* Lindsay awoke to her alarm ringing telling her it was time to get up. After a quick cup of coffee to wake her up she decided to get in her shower.

30 Minutes later she was out of her steaming hot shower and was getting dressed when her cell buzzed. She looked at her cell and sighed when she saw the ID. It was Danny.

'Hey Montana, I was thinking saving us both taking our cars and your apartments on the way to the lab, maybe I could give you a lift or something? Perhaps a little breakfast stop too. :-) D x.'

Lindsay laughed when she read the message, knowing he was lying about her apartment being en route to the lab she help but smile. It made sense to go with Danny; he was right about it saving her taking her car too. 'Danny, your such a liar but your right (for once :p), pick me up at 5:30? L x'. She replied and continued to get ready. Zipping up her leopard print suitcase seemed to be such a hard task for her that it took her a whole 10 minutes to complete.

As soon as 5:30 came she was greeted by the sound of light knocking on her apartment door. Hesitant to open it at first she checked her appearance in the mirror to make sure she looked human or at least as human as she could look this early in the morning. Her light brown curls moulded to her face perfectly as she smiled at herself she took a step to the door and opened it. Standing there was non other than Mr. Messer.

''Well hello Miss Monroe, you ready?'' He asked as he saw her small frame lean against the wall.

''Hey Messer, I guess lets go before we're late. Don't want to get on Macs bad side this early.'' She laughed as she went to get her coat and suitcase. Minutes later she was locking her door and following Danny to the elevator with her suitcase. When they approached Danny's car he took her suitcase from her and opened the passenger's door. ''Thanks,'' she mimed as she slipped into her seat and buckled herself in. Danny placed her suitcase in the trunk next to his and climbed in the driver's side.

After stopping for a bagel and coffee they arrived at the lab 5 minutes to 6. Mac, Stella and Sheldon were already there waiting. Danny and Lindsay joined there colleagues and waited for the others. It was dead on 6 when the rest arrived together in a cab.

''Well let's get this over with,'' Flack stated as the others laughed, even Mac had a smile on his face. Flack was still sarcastic even this early in the morning. Adam, Sheldon, and Payton all piled into Mac's SUV leaving Lindsay, Flack and Danny with Stella. Lindsay had fell asleep with her head leaning on the window, Danny and Flack were talking about the latest game Mets game and Stella was humming along to a song on the radio while concentrating on the road. In Macs car, Sheldon and Adam were having an in-depth discussion on their last case, the cabbie killer. Payton and Mac were talking about London and where Mac grew up in Chicago.

Review on your way out, or to the next chapter:)
