Down on the Farm

New York, New York
Crime Lab
Tuesday 28th August 2007

Danny slipped the memory chip out of the camera Lindsay had been carrying and slipped in another. It looked identical, except for the content. The one he now possessed held Crime Scene photos, while the one he'd replaced it with, held pictures taken on a farm, during spring with the animals... He looked up at Flack and Hawkes who gave him a thumbs up. Then they went and printed off the real pictures and started the analysis of the bullets and gun found at the scene.

Hawkes and Annie made their way over to Peyton, one of the few people Annie was yet to be introduced to, "What've we got here?" Hawkes asked.

Peyton, who'd been concentrating on the bodies, looked up, she instantly recognized the woman with Hawkes as the woman from Sullivan's. Who'd been laughing and joking with Mac. Her Mac, "No visible sign of trauma on any of them," She looked intently at Hawkes, ignoring Annie totally, "We're waiting for a Tox screen to come back. DNA and fingerprints have been sent up to the lab already," With that, she walked away.

Hawkes stared at the retreating Medical Examiner in shock, while Annie looked at him, "Did I do something wrong?"

Sheldon shrugged, "I don't know... She's never done that before..."

Annie said, "you head back, I"ll try and talk to her..."

"Sure thats a great idea?"

Angela shrugged, "I'd like to know what I did wrong..."

Hawkes nodded and said his good-byes. As he headed out, he turned and watched as Annie knocked hesitantly on Peyton's office door. He wondered what was going on, but it wasn't any of his business.

"Doctor Driscoll?" Annie asked, hesitating at the door of the woman's office.

Peyton looked up, "Yes?" She looked closely at this mysterious Detective. They'd never been so close. Now, actually looking at her, Peyton realized that she looked a lot like Mac. There were differences, but the eyes. It was the eyes that caught her.

"I... I couldn't help but feel as though we got off on the wrong foot... as though I'd done something wrong..." Annie started.

Peyton sighed, "Well, I've never seen Mac so happy before..."

"Sorry?" Annie asked confused. She'd never seen this woman before and while they no doubt worked together, what did Mac's happiness have to do with her?

"When I'm with him he's so reserved, but no... I should have known there was a reason... There was someone else."

Annie almost choked, "Excuse me? You think... Mac and me? Oh boy..." Annie looked everywhere but at the woman in front of her. Something caught her eye, a name plate with the doctor's first name on it, "Oh... You're Peyton!"

"Sorry?"

"Ok... I think I need to explain something... I'm Angela Taylor... Mac's my brother," She waited for the realization to cross the woman's face before continuing, "I'm very sorry if you thought there was something going on... But my brother isn't that sort of guy... He's too scared with one woman let alone two..."

Peyton felt as though she couldn't breath. She couldn't believe what she was hearing or believe how stupid she had been, "Sister? You're his sister? I... I didn't even know he had a sister..."

Annie shrugged, "We parted on really bad terms a few years back... Anyone who really wanted to know just had to look at any of our old cases... Particularly any that made it to the media... They seemed to like the sibling Detectives for some reason..."

Peyton sat down and motioned for Annie to do the same, "I... I'm so sorry... It's just we had a pretty rough start... Especially when he called me Claire..." Annie nodded, "I felt threatened... stupid I guess..."

"No, not at all, but, can I tell you something? When Mac was telling me that he'd found someone that truly made him happy. I couldn't believe the way his eyes lit up when he spoke about you. He praised your work, your looks, your accent, everything. I haven't heard him or seen him that happy since Claire died... Which is probably stupid to say because I haven't been here in four years, but I know my brother and the fact that he let you in... It's wonderful!"

Peyton smiled, then her smile dropped as fast as it had come, "I... Oh my god... I was so rude to Mac at the Crime Scene this morning..."

"Blame it on a bad day, he won't be any the wiser. Everyone knows he's married to his job. Stella and I used to joke about that."

Peyton nodded, "Yeah... He is... Look, "I'm sorry for the way I treated you back there..."

"Nah, don't worry about. For some reason this mistaken identity thing happens a lot around me... When... When I was engaged, I went to dinner with a former partner of mine... He was absolutely certain that my old partner was the other guy..." She shook her head, "Just... Just be good to Mac. He would never cheat on any one."

Peyton nodded, "Thank you."

Annie got up to go, "Oh, and... Mac's looking forward to introducing us... How about when he does, this never happened?"

"Really?"

Annie nodded, "Yeah. I gotta go. I'll catch ya later." The Detective's cell rang as she headed out, Peyton could overhear Annie on the phone. "They did what? No... I don't... Messer did?" Then she laughed, "Actually, I've got a brilliant Idea... Just need a little help... I'll call you back Stella." Looking back at Peyton, "Apparently, the guys thought it would be fun to replace the photos from the plane scene with pictures of farm animals... In the spring..."

Peyton stared at, catching the Detective's meaning, "They didn't?"

"They did. Lindsay and Stella want to get them back. I heard about another office that used this trick... But I need a doctor..." Annie said.

Peyton nodded, "Go on."

Annie smiled and explained her plan to the doctor, "Ok, I'll go make those fake results with the girls. Some one will call when they're on their way."

Lindsay, Stella and Annie were gathered in one of the labs, appearing to be going over the results from the gas found in the plane, "Sure this'll work?" Stella asked.

"Defiantly, and Doctor Driscoll agreed to do the 'testing' for us," Annie grinned.

"They are so going to kill us..." Lindsay said, glancing through the windows into another lab where Danny was working with Hawkes, "Though, it will be worth it."

"The real results are in the box over there, Mac can't even accuse us of slacking," Annie said. They watched as Flack entered the lab the guys were in. They talked momentarily then headed over to the girls, who were intently discussing the results of the gas chromatograph they'd done.

"How are we going to tell them?"

"I don't know..."

"They'll be heartbroken..."

"They'll need to be tested... But, I'm sure they're fine..."

"Yeah, cause they are..."

The boys hesitated before entering the room, unsure of what the women were on about. They glanced at each other, shrugged and entered, "Hey, what's the news?" Flack asked.

"Well..." Stella started.

"Who actually went on the plane?" Lindsay asked.

"Me... Danny and Flack went in later, why?" Hawkes asked.

The girls stared at each other, attempting not to laugh, "Well... Guys... Uhh, You see..."

"Show us the report," Danny said, holding his hand out. Annie handed it to him, "You've got to be kidding?"

He passed it to Hawkes, "No way..."

Flack looked at it, "What's that mean?" He asked.

"Well... You guys... need to be tested to see if the toxins effected you in any way..." Stella explained.

"In any way?" Flack questioned, "What exactly does this stuff do?"

Hawkes and Danny looked at each other, then back at the women, "I thought it was Chlorine?" Danny asked.

"This was mixed in," Lindsay said.

"Damn..." He looked at Hawkes, then Flack, "Well, uhh, you see..."

"It can makes guys..." Hawkes tried.

"Sterile..." Annie finished for him.

Flack stared at her, "No..." When she nodded, he looked feint.

"Look, I wouldn't get tested at a hospital.. results can take forever... I'm sure Peyton could do it in a few minutes..." Stella said.

They nodded, "Uhh... right..." Danny mumbled. He stole a glance at Lindsay, who was busy looking at the other two women.

"Come on boys, we'll take you," Annie said, leading them out of the lab, before following, Stella put through the call to the morgue, telling Peyton they'd be there soon.

The guys paced nervously around the morgue, waiting for Peyton to return with the results of the test. Somehow, between walking through the doors and getting to Peyton's office, the women had disappeared, leaving them to explain the situation to the Medical Examiner. Flack kept looking at his watch. Danny kept looking around for Lindsay and the others. Hawkes, just sat on one of the empty tables, waiting. Peyton returned a few short minutes later, but to the guys it seemed like an eternity. She handed them each a folded piece of paper.

"I didn't think you'd want the others to hear your result," She said, before heading off to find the others, who were hiding in one of the offices. They watched the guys as they looked hesitantly at the paper in their hands. Danny was the first to open his.

Ha Ha... Got ya
The farm's not so inviting
now, is it?

Was all that was written on it. Danny showed the others, who then opened theirs.

"Peyton!" Hawkes called.

"Montana, Stacy? Stella!" Danny called.

"I'm going to kill them..." Flack said.

The girls, came out laughing from the office they'd been hiding in, "Well... you deserved it," Stella said.

"Let me guess... it was Angela..." Danny said.

"What was me?" She asked innocently.

"The mastermind," Danny said.

"Who me?"

"Yes you!"

"Come on you lot, go get some work done," Peyton said, "I need my morgue back."

Yes, this really did happen. It was April Fools last year, and we'd had a Chemical spill in the Chemistry labs a couple of days beforehand... Our teachers (Even got the principal in on it) told the year 12 guys that the toxins released may cause them to go sterile... and Teenage boys thought that was the end of the world... They were given letters and told not to open them till they got to where the 'testing' was happening. When the first group got there, theirs read, "Ha Ha, April Fools!" They came back looking really sheepish and the girls had been told when the last of the guys had left. We thought it was hilarious!

Anyway, hope you enjoyed! R&R!
