"I'm gonna kill you, Danny."

"Look, my bad, okay? I just received a case and was working at the scene, that's why I forgot that you were waiting here."

"Were you having so much fun with Aiden that you forgot that I was freezing to death outside the lab?"

"Morgan Messer, that is not funny."

"I know, I'm not laughing."

At this point, Flack had to say something or he'd explode. "So Morgan's really your sister? The one you've been talking about?" Danny and Morgan both turned to look at him, and there was no mistaking it. They had exactly the same eyes, the same big, blue orbs that were the windows to their souls. Now, they were both giving him a look that said "What are you, stupid?" Upon hearing Morgan's response, he made a mental note never to say stupid things to a woman when she is still pissed at something else. 'She will chew your head off regardless of your involvement.' He said to himself.

"Yes. I-AM-HIS-SISTER." Let the chewing begin, he thought and started to brace himself from any abuse she might hurl at him.

"Morgan." Danny gave her a look, and immediately she toned down the attitude to say, "Sorry, shouldn't have talked like that."

Half an hour earlier, Morgan had come into the lab looking for Danny, who was called out on a case. When her search for him turned up empty, she approached Flack, whom she had just bumped into, literally. "Do you know where I can find Danny Messer?" she asked, and for a moment he sincerely hoped that her next sentence wouldn't be her saying that she was his girlfriend or something. But before he could reply, her cell phone rang and she flipped it open with a considerable amount of force.

"Danny Messer, you told me to wait at the entrance and I was freezing my butt off for so long! Where the hell are you!" After a few seconds of angry silence which Flack assumed was Danny trying to explain himself, she sighed and said "Fine," then hung up. "Where's his desk?" she asked and he pointed out the direction to her, and she walked off without even looking back at him.

"Thanks," she called out.

Just then, someone said his name from behind. Turning around swiftly, he had kind of hoped that it was Morgan, but he spotted Stella walking to him instead. "Where's my coffee?"

"I was just about to walk out. Be right back," He said, and promptly made his way out of the lab to the nearest coffeeshop. When he returned with two coffee cups in his hands, Stella was already waiting for him at the entrance. She grabbed one of the cups and took a long sip. "Ah, just what I needed. Thanks,"

Stella filled him in on what the lab results yielded, and then added that they had hit a small glitch with the surveillance tape. "One of the bangers fired at the camera, which resulted in a little loss of information. Luckily, the camera is connected to a computer at the back of the store; we should be able to restore the visuals."

"So what's the problem?"

"I thought I'd already told you? Anyway our AV tech quit, couple days ago, family problems. So Danny called his sister to come down and help. She's good with such things."

As if on cue, Danny walked through the entrance. "Hey Danny, where's your sister? We really need her help here," Stella asked, and he replied that she was already here and waiting at his desk. Danny had returned to the lab from the crime scene, just to handle things with his sister and then he had to get back there. It then occurred to Flack that the girl he bumped into earlier could very well be Danny's sister. He did not realize it, but a smile had crept onto his face.

"Danny, tell your sister to meet me at the AV lab. Oh, and tell her thanks for coming in to help."

"Done." Danny said, and he walked off to his desk. "Flack, come on, I'll introduce you to my little sister." Without a word, he caught up with Danny, feeling very pleased indeed.

After Morgan apologized, Danny promptly introduced the two of them. "Flack, meet my little sister. Morgan, this is Detective Don Flack." She stuck out her hand and shook with Flack's, who could only look into her eyes and nodded a greeting. He nearly wanted to smack himself on the head for not realizing the resemblance between the two siblings earlier. Their blue eyes exuded a kind of irresistible charm, as well as a fierce streak of independence and spunk. Flack had half-expected Danny's sister to be a little on the soft-spoken side, because he got the impression that Danny was very protective of Morgan. Seeing her in the flesh however dispelled any previous notions he had of her. You could say that she lived up to her name. With a name like Morgan, she sure wasn't your typical younger sister type – she was just as capable of fending for herself without big brother's protection.

Flack stopped himself from letting his mind wander any further than it already had, and cleared his throat before speaking. "I think you'd better head over to the AV lab, Stella's waitin' for you,"

"Right. See you around," She replied offhandedly, and followed Danny to the AV lab. Flack didn't even seem to mind. Instead, he smiled to himself again. "See ya around," he said to no one in particular and left the room.

"Stella, this is my sister Morgan."

"Nice to meet you, Detective Bonasera."

"Call me Stella. Right now, I need you to help with getting the visuals from a surveillance system. Perps fired at the camera, but the system is hooked to a computer. Think you can restore the images?"

"If the camera is linked to a computer, there shouldn't be a big problem. Just give me about two hours," Morgan said confidently, and Stella directed her to the AV equipment, while briefing her on the whole situation. "I gotta get back to the crime scene, Aiden's waiting. You'll be fine by yourself?" Danny asked, and Morgan sighed, replying, "Yes, dear brother, I'll be just fine." She rolled her eyes at him, who smiled and waved her off before leaving the AV lab.

Everybody went back to their own tasks after that: Stella and Mac continued to work on ballistics, fingerprints and DNA, Morgan started work on the surveillance video, while Flack went back to the crime scene to see if Sgt. Moran found any more witnesses. On the other hand, Danny and Aiden had an investigation of their own – movie producer Melvin Heckman was found dead atop a canopy at his apartment.

Two hours later, like clockwork, Mac and Stella returned to the AV lab. "Mac, this is Morgan, Danny's sister." Stella announced as they walked in. "How is it, Morgan?" she asked, and Morgan stood up to address them.

"You're right on time. I managed to restore the information lost after the camera was shot at, and uploaded it into our computer. Take a look," she gestured to the computer and made way for them. "By the way, this is Detective Taylor." Stella said as she began to run through the video. Morgan reached out to shake hands with Mac, who said, "Thank you for coming down to help, I really appreciate it. And you don't have to be so formal with us; I'm fine with 'Mac'. Why don't you take a break? You deserve it,"

Morgan nodded with a smile, and left the AV lab. Meanwhile, Mac and Stella began to analyze the video together. Things weren't looking so good, because the angle of the camera was working against them, therefore they did not manage to get a positive ID of the shooters. One of the suspects also lost the lighter off-screen, the one that Stella found. Strike three came when they realized that a soda can carrying potential DNA evidence belonging to one of the suspects was missing from the scene, and there was no mention of that from Moran nor was it in any crime scene photos.

"Hector, blast that fool," One of the shooters said to the third and unarmed suspect, to which Stella rejoiced, "Did you hear that? Thank you for being stupid! We got a 'Hector'!" When the video ended, Mac headed out to meet Flack and Sgt. Moran. He had a match off the print found on the lighter and it belonged to someone in the 'Crazy Aces' gang. The three of them were going to the known hangout of the gang, to see if they could get any incriminating evidence on the guy. Passing by the break room, he saw Morgan in there and said to her, "Great work, Morgan. Could you come in tomorrow? We need to talk," She was puzzled by this, but agreed anyway. "Sure, I'll come in together with Danny in the morning."

When Mac left, Morgan smiled to herself. She was a fresh college graduate, and currently had a job teaching computer classes for youths, which was just something to get her by until a better one came along. Now, she was somewhat confident that a new job was on its way.
