Hello my beautiful people! I am so sorry for not posting anything in like 384701740147 years but I'm here now and I figured a new start, a new story and I'm also working on my other ones to try and finish them :)

Hope you enjoy it

'Well I say we go and pick him up and see what he has to say on the matter!' Danny screamed at Adam

'No, we haven't processed the evidence thoroughly enough so you can't pick him up!' Adam retorted

'Who cares what you think you're just a stupid lab rat!' Danny shouted with pure venom in his voice

'And you're a dumb ass CSI who thinks he rules the roost!' they were both getting nasty now, it wasn't normal behaviour for either of them normally they were the best of friends. Hawkes and Lindsey walked into the lab also bickering,

'You've got it wrong he's innocent! It's so obvious!' Hawkes shouted at Lindsey who looked ready to start throwing punches

'It's obvious he's played you for a fool! You're such a moron!' she bellowed back at him. It had been like this, the constant bickering since Mac wasn't around to offer his invaluable opinion and to keep them in check. Flack had tried his best to spend as little time as possible with them and only made the necessary trips up to endure the arguments when he absolutely had to. He couldn't stand seeing the team like this they just weren't the same they weren't his friends they weren't the people he knew who went through thick and thin with each other and were still best friends at the end of it, they were bickering idiots, they were different and he hated it. Unfortunately he had the displeasure of walking into the mornings arguments.

'So you wanna prove your manhood huh?' Danny challenged squaring up to Adam

'Think you're such a big tough guy you're pathetic!' Adam said looking him up and down. Flack came tearing through the door seeing the confrontation through the glass and hearing all of the noise.

'Oi you two! Take a break go separate ways and go get a coffee and chill I don't want either of you anywhere near each other for the rest of the shift.' He pointed for them to go different ways and sent them off and threw himself into Lindsey's and Hawkes's argument

'I hate you!' She shouted

'Right both of you grow up! You are like a pair of teenagers seriously same goes for you stay away from each other for the rest of the day and work separate cases and I will sort these out. If I hear so much as a word said between any of you, and this goes for Danny and Adam too, that isn't professional I will have you suspended!' he was in the middle of them and pushed them opposite ways and watched them as they slammed the doors behind them.

He walked into the area that would be Mac's office, a place where he always went when he was having a problem or a bad day, and slumped in the couch, ran his hand through his hair and sighed then he reached into his pocket and pulled out his cell phone. It rang three times before he heard a voice on the other end.

'Bonasera' Flack was relieved to hear her voice and put his head in his hand before speaking

'Hey Stell, its Don'

'Oh my god, hey Don it's been a long time!' she exclaimed

'Yeah it's nice to hear a sane voice listen, I need your help Stell it's an emergency'

'What's happened is everyone ok?' he pondered on how to word his reply

'Um not exactly the team is slowly falling apart Stell, all they do is argue and fight and challenge each other they're just not the same they hate each other and I didn't know who else to call who they will listen to and who could help.'

'Where's Mac?' she seemed a little puzzled by Flack not mentioning his name

'He left did no one tell you?'

'They certainly did not! Why did he leave I always thought Taylor would be the last of us to leave!' she exclaimed

'He almost got killed on the job and it made him re-think his life and a few weeks later he left and we haven't heard anything from him since and believe me we have tried to find him that's when all of this started when he wasn't here to keep them in line. Problem is they've lost respect for each other and nothing I say is working.' He was close to tears mentioning Mac's name him leaving had really hit him hard.

'Hey listen I got a month's vacation to take that I built up I'll take it and be there tonight and in for tomorrow morning think you can hold the fort for today?' he breathed a sigh of relief

'Yeah thanks Stell it means a lot'

'No problem Don you know I'll do anything for you guys.'

'You're a good friend we miss you'

'Miss you too, well better get packing see you tomorrow'

'See you then'

'Oh and I'll find Mac, he can't hide from me.' She ended the call and flack chuckled there was going to be hell on tomorrow.
