Sorry for the late update!! I've been busy with school and my house being redone. It looks wonderful! =)

Enjoy! Also check out my other story that I'm working on about a character from CSI Miami. There's already one chapter up.

Never Again Part 2

Flack led Adam to the storage room, which was only half-way filled with people in uniform stacking and organizing boxes, papers and files. Comparing it to the front part of the building, it was no different.

The two squeezed by an older mail carrier towards the end of the room, a thankfully vacant space awaited them; a table and two chairs.

"Just dump 'em here" Flack said motioning to the empty table and sitting down. Adam did as suggested and let what he held for the past 30 minutes drop on the table. There was a few moments of silence as he stood there, with Flack going through the tables contents. He finally looked up.

"Adam? Is there something I could help ya with ? I'm kinda busy here" he said, obviously annoyed in Adam's eyes. He was dumped with a large amount paperwork duty for a while due to his recent accident that caused him a broken arm. Adam merely rubbed his palms on his pants leg and breathed out before taking a seat.

"Um...Can we talk for a second?' he whispered hastily. "About what?" Flack said raising his eyebrows in confusion, but then a look of understanding spread on his face. "Did you?..." he started and then Adam looked around the room nervously.

"Yeah. Last night…" he responded solemnly.

For the past few months Adam had been getting the most horrifying things in the mail. First it was chocolate, which looked seemingly okay except for the fact that it was covered in bugs. Then it was cake, an Orange Bundt Cake, frosted with and filled with dead pigeon heads The most recent had been a pair of Pajamas, doused in an unknown sickening odor .

There were letters with the "gifts" that detailed things of which Adam did during the day, down to the every scrub 10th he made when he took a shower at night. Along with "I'm watching you Adam, and we're perfect for each other. Ann" at the end of each letter.

Adam was terrified and it showed since the beginning of this nightmare. He went to Flack, knowing that he was trained to deal with this type of stuff. Knowing full well he annoyed the Detective at times, like now for instance. But he was part of the team.

Somewhat anyway.

Flack rubbed his chin while closing his eyes. "We should've told Mac about this from the very beginning Adam" he said sighing.

"She knows where you live, and go to work. You have to stay with someone tonight or this sicko is going to go further than she already has" he continued getting up, and staring at Adam who buried his hands in his face.

"Don't tell Mac, he'll…" Adam started, moving his hands from his face. He started blankly at Flack then a smile formed. "Hey! If you don't say anything maybe I'll stay with you-"

"Nuh uh Adam Ross. No thanks. You'd be much safer bunking with your secret admirer, than me" he said smirking and folding arms across his chest. Adam sighed again sinking down in his chair.

The two heard a series of "excuse me's" leading in their direction. Flack's eyes lit up.

"Hey Monroe, what brings you down here?"

"Hi Flack. Adam." Lindsay Monroe said staggering to the two's table breathing hard. Adam got up a few moments later, pushing the chair in front of Lindsay for her to sit down.

"Comfortable?" Flack asked, his eyes crinkling in amusement. Lindsay rolled her eyes before looking up to face Adam.

"Where've you been? I've been looking all over for you…I need your help… back at the lab" she huffed. "Danny wanted your help too…on some case with scarves?" she continued, before a look of dread came on Adam's face.

"Oh God…I totally forgot!" he said before sprinting away like a frightened rabbit. There would be time to discuss his problem later with Flack, once Lindsay wasn't around. This was rare these days, because whenever Adam saw Flack, Lindsay wasn't too far away or either tagging along with him and Danny during their breaks. There was also the matter of his lunch earlier with Stella, and his sudden admiration/obsession with Hawkes was freaking him out.

Adam arrived back at the lab, and struggled to put on his lab coat when he collided with a curly haired Greek goddess.

Coffee, folders and people screamed moving around everywhere like it was the end of the world.

Adam lay face down on top of Stella, whose eyes were opening slowly as at the same time of Adam's. He jumped up quickly, scurrying away from her and suddenly feeling the scorched coffee on his pant's leg.

"Ow wowwowow … hothothothothothot!" he screamed, jumping up and down where he sat. Stella grunted from where she lay , feeling her back before she got up.

"Jeez Adam, is this how you repay me for lunch?" she asked, laughing a bit and trying to make light of the situation. She grinned, and proceeded to look around the room for her papers. Adam watched, only to remind himself a few moments later to be a gentleman and help her out. He started laughing nervously, as he handed her the last paper.

"Yeah…um sorry…About the y'know. Crash" he said making a explosion noise and putting his hands together in one big clap. Stella handed the papers back to Adam a second later.

"Actually those are yours. I took the liberty to document the information on some scarves that Danny had asked you to do, but when he couldn't find you I did them. The material you were used as testing samples was just lying around," she said smiling. Then she suddenly gave him a small punch on his shoulder making him shiver and feel slightly surprised as he rubbed the pain away.

"Don't let it happen again, or I'll tell Mac." she added slyly before retreating from the room, which had within a dazed and confused Adam.

He was pretty sure he was staring at Stella's retreating form for oh, a good five minutes. But he only had a second to think;

Where was Mac Taylor anyway?

I felt that something needed to happen in order to move along the story a bit.

If anyone has any ideas, feel free to say, or message me.
