Lindsay walked back into the computer lab and reclaimed her chair next to Hawkes who gave her a nod in greeting.

"So what were they arguing about now?" He asked.

"Apparently Danny didn't throw his rubbish away, so Stella came to tell him to throw it away." Lindsay said taking the mouse off Hawkes and opening a new page.

Hawkes gave Lindsay a look of total disbelief.

"Are you serious? Man someone really needs to screw their heads back on straight."

"My thoughts exactly Hawkes," Mac said walking into the room. "I have a plan but I need you two to help me get it ready." Nac pulled a chair over to where his two CSI's were sitting.

"what do you need us to do Mac?" Lindsay asked turning to face her supervisor.

"Well the first thing you can do is turn that programme off," He sadi smiling. Lindsay turned and shut it down then turned backm to face Mac.

"Hawkes I need you to put everyone in pairs male and female, put yourself with Lindsay, and if anyone ask why you two get to go with each other your answer is because I said so. Lindsay I need you to type up some information packsd to hand to everyone, heres all the information you need and I'll see you two at the end of shift." With that Mac put his charir back and left Hawkes and Lindsay alone to get on with their respected tasks.

"So think I should put Stella an dDanny together?" Hawkes asked a sly grin crossing his face as an idea formed in his mind.

"You are going to so enjoy putting them into pairs aren't you," Lindsay said laughinbg, she laughed even harder when Hawkes winked at her.

"Well while you're playing match maker I'm going to be working in the office putting these together." She said walking back up to the office.

Hawkes chuckled to himself after Lindsay had left. She was right he was going to have so much fun putting them into pairs.

He pulled out a piece of paper and wrote all the mens name on the left hand side and then put their partners name on the right, he looked down at his list and laughed.

He couldn't wait to see the looks on everyones faces when they saw who they would be partnered with, just as long as they didn't kill each othefr or him he wasn't to worried.

He had just finished as was about to join Lindsay when his pager went of indicating that he had a crime scene to get to.

Lindsay had two more packs to go when her pager went off looking down she sighed at trhe code for a homicide, grabbing her kit she put the information packs in her bottom draw and locked it before heading out.

4:00 pm. End of day shift.

The team walked up to Mac's office, Stella, Lindsay, Danny and Mac were waiting on lab results, the others had caught a simple jelosy case so were finished by thbe end of shift.

As the team came it and grabbed a seat Mac looked around and noticed that one of them was missing.

"Where's Danny?" he asked.

"He probably gtot lost, told you, you should have given him directions Donna," Stella said from where she sat in between Angell and Lesley, Lindasy rolled hefr eyes looking at Mhac hshe saioimd.

"Heb went to get the autopsy report from Sid, I passed him on my way up he said he will be as quick as he can." Mac nodded his thanks to Lindasy as Danny walked into the office givinvgb Mac a quick appoligy he went an d satq next to Flack.

"Alright now that we are all here, I would like to say that I have been absolutely disgusted at your behaviour over the past two weeks it has been both unprofessional and counter productive. Chief Sincliar has given me till the end of the weekend to get you lot acting like a team again, or he will fire some of you. I don't want that to happen, so I have arranged something for us to do over the weekend that will hopefully help." He looked round at the team when no one commented he continued, "Lindasy haxs your information packs and Sheldon will have who you will be working with."

Lindasy handed out thev information packs, the team startd reading them. This time Stellas madde a comment.

"Mac this says that we leave tomorrow, but tomorrow Thursday," She gave him a puzzled look. Mac on his part just smiled.

"Very good Stella I asked if we could have five days off to sort out this problem and the higher ups agreed we have from tomorrow to Monday off." He said turning to look at Sheldon before saying, "Hawkesd if you could please show the team who their partners will be."

Sheldon nodded and steped forward and held out a piece of paper for them all to see.

Males Females

Mac Donna

Danny Stella

Flack Angell

Carmine Lesley

Hawkes Lindsay

After they had read the list the complaints started to fly around the room.

"Mac you can't put me with him that just inhumane..."

"But Mac she's a b..."

Mac sighed he hoped this weekend worked or his team might just end up killing each other, looking over at Lindsay he gave her a nod and for the second time that day Lindsay let out a short sharp whistle to get the teams attention.

"I did not choose your partner, I gave that responsibility to Hawkes so if you have a problem than talk to him." Mac's tone signalled that he didn't want to hear another complaint.

"Good now everyone needs to be here at 5:00 am tomorrow and make sure you bring everything on your list. Stella, Lindsay and Don we have a case to wrap up the rest of you head home."

"where are we going Mac? These papers don't tell us about where we will be staying" Lesley said flicking through the papers to make sure she hadn't missed it.

Mac gave them a look that said he had purposefully left that information out.

"Well Lesley it's a surprise you'll just have to wait and see." Mac walked out of his office leaveing the very puzzled group behind.
