"Adam, Adam Ross?" Rebecca called out after recovering from her initial shock.
Reflecting Rebecca's look of disbelief on his own face, Adam merely stared at her before he found his voice. "Pierce?" he asked. Seeing her nod, his own face broke out into a grin. "Oh my god it is you!" he exclaimed before running forward to embrace her.
Returning the hug, Rebecca's smile widened as she closed her eyes to savour the moment. "I can't believe this," she whispered, tears threatening to spill over. "It's been so long!"
Clearing his throat, Flack moved to interrupt the little re-union, reluctantly. "Umm, you too know each other?" he questioned.
Both turning towards him, Flack got the creeps seeing them both grin widely. "Since I was 6," replied Rebecca.
"I can't believe it's really you," said Adam with a smile.
"Ditto," replied Rebecca. "We need to get together sometime to catch up."
Laughing, Adam merely waved it off. "Don't worry about it – that's a must."
Returning the laugh, Rebecca turned to the other occupants of the room. "I'm glad to meet you all too, I'm Rebecca," she introduced, before moving to shake everyone's hand.
After the introductions and pleasantries were over, Rebecca moved over to join the conversation with Hawkes and Sid, Adam had left to check on his results of another case. After meeting everyone, she was still getting used to the names.
Hawkes turned to Rebecca. "I guess you've met everyone on the team then, well mostly everyone."
"Mostly?" questioned Rebecca. "There are still more of you?"
With a laugh, Hawkes nodded and replied. "Well there's Danny and Lindsay, and our boss Mac."
"And my counterpart, Dr. Peyton Driscoll," added Sid.
Rebecca chuckled slightly. "I've actually already met Danny and Lindsay," she replied.
"Really? When?" asked Hawkes.
"Yesterday," she replied.
"You know, this reminds me of this girl I once knew. Her friend was in an accident, and I accidentally walked in on them once doing –" started Sid before Hawkes interrupted.
"Too much information Doc,"
"Right, sorry," replied Sid, rolling his eyes in the process.
Rebecca chuckled, her mind remembering the looks that passed between Danny and Lindsay the night before. It seemed as if they didn't even care that she and Flack were in the room. She had always wanted that, for someone to look at her and see everything, not just the body, but deeper. To her, only time would reveal if there would ever be such a person.
As if remembering something, Hawkes turned to Stella. "Hey Stel, how long is Lindsay off for?" he asked thoughtfully.
Stella furrowed her brows in concentration. Before Mac had left, told her that Lindsay had requested some time off. Remembering, her face cleared. "A week," she replied.
Nodding, Hawkes chuckled. "Danny will be kicking by then," he said with a laugh, causing the occupants of the room to break out into snickers.
The laughter was cut by the ring of Flack's phone. Excusing himself, he walked out of the break-room, leaving Rebecca to talk a little more with Adam. A few minutes later, Flack walked back in. "Sorry guys, but we gotta roll. Pierce, come on," he announced before briskly stepping out once more and headed for the elevator.
Right beside him, Rebecca stepped stride-for-stride. "What do we got Don?" she asked as they both stepped into the elevator.
Opening his casebook, Flack began to fill her in on the details he was given. "Two bodies on Liberty Island," he said.
"Liberty Island?" questioned Rebecca. "Isn't it patrolled by the coast guard 24-7?"
"Yep, which is why we need to figure out how the bodies got there," replied Flack as the doors closed, Liberty Island their next stop.

Danny winced as the pain shot through his side. He'd tried to hold it in for the past 15 minutes but the pain was just unbearable at certain points.
"Sorry baby," said Lindsay, giving him a sheepish smile. "It'll be over soon," she cooed.
Danny glared at her. "Funny Montana, really funny," he said through clenched teeth.
Chuckling, she moved to apply the balm on his other side. The doctor had instructed her on how to apply it since he couldn't do it himself – for now.
"Come on Messer," she teased. "You get kidnapped for hardly a day and you're complaining like a 4 year old. Little girls have more with than you."
"Did you just compare me to little girls- OW!" yelped Danny as Lindsay pressed on a sore spot. "That hurts you know."
"Sorry baby," Lindsay replied with a chuckle. "Stop being such a baby."
"You're supposed to be grateful, I wouldn't BE in this position if I didn't trade shifts with you," Danny pointed out.
"I know, and I'm very glad you did," she replied, chuckling slightly as Danny stared at her with his mouth agape.
"What happened to you being all guilty about this?" asked Danny, raising his eyebrows.
Giving him an innocent smile, she bent down to place a chaste kiss on his lips. "Well lets just say you did a great job convincing me that it wasn't my fault, and that it was all yours,' she murmured against his lips.
Danny merely grunted. "You are so lucky that I'm down for the count or –"
"Or what?" interrupted Lindsay, a daring grin dancing on her lips.
"Tie you up somewhere and see how you like not being able to move," Danny replied.
Lindsay's grin grew, leaving Danny a little confused. Moving over Danny, she placed her hips in between his, bracing herself on top of him before slowly lowering her body. Nudging his head a little she whispered against his neck whilst placing kisses along his jaw line and running her fingers along his bare chest, "Can I choose where, or what, or who you tie me up to?"
Danny groaned in frustration, knowing that Lindsay was just teasing him. "You're going to kill me you know that?" said Danny a little breathless.
"Haven't we had this discussion before?" asked Lindsay her eyes set on her prize.
"You talk too much," replied Danny before capturing her lips with his, deepening the kiss at every opportunity.
Groaning, Lindsay had to use every ounce of her strength to pull away from him, only to be rewarded by his familiar smirk settling onto his face.
"Well that was fun," Danny teased.
"Ha, ha, ha," replied Lindsay in a mocking tone before whispering in his ear once again. "Wait till you get better cowboy, then I'll show you what's fun." Lindsay smirked as Danny groaned in frustration – again. He'd been doing that a lot lately and Lindsay knew that she was the reason for it all. Chuckling, Lindsay bent down to give him a loving kiss before getting up.
"You want anything to eat?" asked Lindsay whist tying up her hair into a loose ponytail.
"Are you on the menu this time?" asked Danny with a grin, which disappeared at her knowing look. "Fine, fine, coffee would be good," replied Danny in defeat.
Chuckling at his expression, Lindsay smiled at how much Danny reminded her of a little boy who couldn't get a new toy. Wordlessly, she walked to the kitchen, taking out bits and pieces after deciding to make a sandwich as well.
Her heart stopped beating for a moment as she heard the sound of a glass break from Danny's room. Running to the bedroom, she stopped at the doorway, a look of complete anger on her face.
"It was an accident," said Danny sheepishly, motioning to the glass that was now scattered on the floor. He hoped to god that she wouldn't poke him again, sighing in relief as he saw her shake her head and walk back out into the kitchen.

I'm afraid to say that updates this week is going to be a little random. I'm on a week internship with a broadcasting company so I'll be busy for most of the week. I'll find time to update this, dont worry - but it won't be daily. Please bear with me for a while, it's only a week! I'm just as bummed as you are I specifically changed the ending so I don't give you another cliffy - love me!
Thanks a bunch,
