Prologue:

Chief Sinclair knew that the department was still reeling from the shooting and subsequent death of one of their own: Detective Jessica Angell. No more so than her partner Detective Don Flack Jr. But he also knew that they had to move on with life and he could not just have Flack working with the CSIs which is why he had hired Detective Emma McLachlan, she was the best detective Scotland Yard had to offer. He just hoped that Flack and the CSIs would come to accept her as she was extremely new to New York. She just came in on Saturday from the UK.

Emma McLachlan was extremely nervous about her first day in the NYPD. She knew from talking with Chief Sinclair that they had recently had to deal with the death of one of their colleagues and he had also explained not to be to upset with her partner Don Flack as he was involved with the deceased detective and would probably not welcome her with open arms. He also warned her that she would be the only woman in the department and to expect the men to be teasing and flirting with her. She did not expect them to be doing that after they got a look at her. As she was quite short and curvy and she had blonde hair and grey eyes and glasses. She did not think herself pretty so didn't think anyone else would.
