Okay first thing. I had not realized nearly a YEAR has passed since I updated this! I feel doubly horrible now! I hope people are still reading this!
This story is going to become a continual story, just basically going on and on until I decide to end it. That being said story arc's will take place over chapters, instead of the the whole story. The only story arc that will be a constant, is Sam and Don's relationship, with each other and those around them.
Read & Review! :D
CHAPTER 10: Taking The Fall
Sam walked into the DNA lab just in time to hear Danny groan in frustration.
"I take it no hits in AFIS?" Sam said.
"Nope, no hits anywhere." Danny sighed handing the results to Sam "What about you, find out anything?"
"Ya. Turns out Erica only went clubbing because her best friend Hailey, didn't want to be alone with their partying friends."
"So she was just being a good friend?"
"And it got her killed."

Sam sighed looking around the busy street.
"So what did Hailey say?" Danny asked coming up behind her, arms crossed over his chest.
"That she parked her car, right about here." Sam motioned to where a City repair truck was parked
"So they would have gone North when Erica went?"
"South," Sam pointed in that direction "Then East."
"So it wouldn't have taken long for her to get out of her friends sight line."
"And I doubt Marissa and Korrina would have been paying attention. According to Hailey they were so drunk they could barely walk."
"Nice friends." Danny snorted.
"Mmm."
"So whoever attacked her must have waited until she was alone."

"How many Bridesmaids are we fitting today?"
"Three." Sam smiled.
"Come right this way." The women smiled.
"Way. Too. Bubbly." Carmen muttered.
Sam snickered.
"Will we be picking out a maid of honour dress today?"
"Afterwards yes. It has to be sent out to Calgary, Alberta."

Almost two hours later the four women finally left the bridal shop.
"Thank god that's over." Sam smirked "I thought that women was going to cheerful us to death!"
Lindsay, Stella and Carmen laughed.
"It was nice meeting you Carmen." Stella smiled.
"You too. Don's told me a lot about you, both of you. Its nice to finally put faces to the names. I had better get going, Adrian is going be driving Brennan up the wall." Carmen smiled reaching her car "I'll call you later Sam."
"Okay." Sam smiled.
Stella, Lindsay, and Sam watched as Carmen climbed into her car and drove down the street. Suddenly Sam's phone rang.
"Dawson." Sam answered "Hey Danny. Okay we'll be back in about 20 minutes. Ya. Bye."
"Trouble?" Lindsay asked as Sam slid her phone back into her pocket.
"We may have a lead on the case."

"Seems kinda quiet." Sam told Danny as she climbed out of her department issue Avalanche.
"Little too quiet." Danny replied.
"Shall we check it out?"
"Why not."
Sam followed Danny into the warehouse, it looked like no one had been in it for years.
"I'll go check this wing." Sam said going to walk to her left, but she caught Danny giving her a look "What? Are you scared of the big empty warehouse?"
"Hey just when you think the warehouse is empty a psycho killer with an axe come charging out of the shadows."
Sam raised an eyebrow "You watch way to many horror movies Danno."
"And you don't?"
"Ahh but I have Flack to protect me." Sam smirked.
"You mean you have Flack to sacrifice so you can get away."
Sam laughed as walked away from Danny.
Sam slowly walked through the warehouse, flashlight in her hand. She came to a rickety old staircase that lead up to a second floor balcony area. Sam glanced around her before moving up the staircase, once she was safely on the balcony she walked along the railing, glancing down every once in a while. A sudden noise caused her jump, she spun around, hand on her glock. Realizing it was the wind banging an unsecured window, Sam smirked and shook her head as she ran a hand through her hair. Maybe watching the Exorcist with Don the other night hadn't been such a good idea.
Suddenly someone grabbed Sam from behind, Sam managed to get her right hand between herself and her attacker. In one swift movement Sam raised her arm as if deflecting a punch. The moment the person, she guessed man's, grip broke, Sam spun on the balls of her feet pulling out her glock out of its holster. She aimed the gun at her attacker, taking a step back. Before Sam could fire a shot the man grabbed her wrist, raised her hand before slamming it on to the railing, causing Sam to loose her grip, dropping her gun to the lower floor. Sam caught the man in the jaw with a left hook, the man let go of her wrist allowing her to move away.
"DANNY!" Sam shouted, giving her hand a quick shake.
The man stood up, he was around 6'4, he held his jaw moving it back and forth before looking at Sam "That was a mistake bitch."
Sam raised her arms, protecting her face and torso. With a loud roar the man lunged as Sam, Sam ducked to the left avoiding the tackle. With the dazed man sprawled out on the floor Sam took a chance and ran to the stairs she'd come up. Glancing behind her she carefully ran down the rickety stair case.
"DANNY!" Sam shouted again running to where her gun lay.
Within seconds Danny appeared around the corner "Sam! Back ups on the way. You okay?"
Sam nodded "There's a guy up there, he attacked me from behind."
Danny glanced up wide eyed before back at Sam "Did you fall over the railing!"
"No." Sam shook her head.
Danny nodded before carefully working his way up the stairs, Sam on his heels.

"STUPID BITCH! LET ME AT HER!" The man shouted as Danny and two uniforms shoved him into the back of a squad car.
"Shaddup!" Danny snapped, slamming the door.
Sam watched at Danny moved towards her "You check her?" Danny asked the paramedic, pointing at Sam.
"I'm right here Danny. You can ask me." Sam sighed.
"You're as truthful as the rest of us when it comes to getting checked out. Did you check her?" He directed the question at the paramedic.
"Not yet."
"Then do it."
"Ahh come on Danny." Sam groaned as the paramedic checked her over.
"No dice kid, if I don't make you Flack will."
"Oh please tell me he's not coming to the scene." Sam moaned "Call him and tell him I'm fine."
"Little late for that." Danny said as Don's car pulled up on the outside of the crime scene tape.
Sam groaned resting her forehead on the heel of her hand, before straighten and running a hand through her hair. "I'm in for it now."
Danny smirked before walking back towards the warehouse, clapping Don on the shoulder as he passed.
"You alright?" Don asked the moment he reached the ambulance.
"Yup." Sam replied standing up.
"Sam." Don warned.
"Look," Sam said standing up "not a scratch!"
Don sighed before pulling Sam into his chest "You gotta stop doing that."
Sam glanced up at him "Doing what?"
"Getting into it with guys twice your size."
Sam smirked "It wasn't exactly my idea."
Don pulled away "Just don't do it again."
"Yes sir." Sam grinned before walking off in search of Danny.

"Excuse me?!" Sam shouted shooting up from her seat in front of Mac's desk.
"Sit down Sam." Mac told his youngest CSI.
"Mac, that guy attacked me!"
"I know that, now sit down."
Sam reluctantly sank back into her seat, arms crossed over her chest. The man in the seat beside Sam, glanced at her, surprised and a bit shocked by her outburst.
"Go ahead Sinclair." Mac sighed.
"Mr. Mallon said that he was minding his own business when Ms. Dawson-"
"Detective." Sam stated shooting up again and moved away from the desk.
"Samantha." Mac warned, as if to a snarky teenager.
"When DETECTIVE Dawson, attacked him out of nowhere."
"Don't!" Mac warned holding up a hand to Sam whose mouth was open, about to protest.
Sam glared at the Marine as she began to pace again.
"Long story short, he's filing a law suit against you."
"That is BS!" Sam snapped.
"Sinclair in this case I have to agree with my CSI. This is BS."
"The man has a black eye, Dawson doesn't have a mark on her!"
"What the hell do you call this!" Sam asked holding up her wrist, a large bruise beginning to form.
"She split up with Messer-"
"Why does it sound like you want me to take the fall!"
"I don't want anyone to take the fall Detective."
"Then how come you're coming up with all these reasons as to why I allegedly attacked this guy?!"
"Sam."
"No Mac this is bull shit!" Sam shouted turning on her heel and stalking out of Mac's office.
On a side note, I am officially DONE high school! Happy dance! I hope to update very soon :)
