One month ago, Josephine Kin, otherwise known as Josie, had taken a job offer in the city of New York. She had come across this offer during a business trip, when back then her job as a journalist took her places. New York had been on her list of assignments, covering the downfall of the New York Stock Market. On Josie's second day, she witnessed a homicide on her way to the Stock Market. That was when she met Detective Mac Taylor. He was head of the New York Crime Lab and was an ex-Marine. He had asked her some questions pertaining to the crime she witnessed and she had answered them with impeccable detail and accuracy. The next thing Josie knew, she was being offered a job with the department. Mac explained to her that it was her keen and quick eye for detail that allowed the NYPD to locate the perpetrator and arrest him. She had gladly accepted the job.
Josie returned to Australia with big news for her family. She had told them about the new job awaiting her in a country halfway across the world during a family dinner and everyone supported her decision. The next day, January 29, 2008, Josie handed in her resignation letters to the head of the Sydney Herald. The next week, Josie was on her way to her new home.
For Josie, she found fitting in with the already formed group quite easy. She became quick friends with the team's second 'leader', Stella Bonasera and the team's newest addition, Lindsay Monroe. In a span of one week, Josie found out about everyone's past, present and possible futures. In a span of a week and a half, Josie had developed a very huge liking of Danny Messer. How little did she know that her best friend, Lindsay, had been dating her crush for three months now.
