A/N: This won't be concurrent with the new season at all. I will more than likely add people in (Mattie, Coates, etc) cause I like them and I'll make them fit. I wanted to see what would happen if Elizabeth was in the picture when all that happened last season (IE Ice Queen and on) happened. So...without further ado, read on.

Somewhere over the Midwest

Liz stared out the window of the 747 and watched the clouds go by. Barely 8 months ago she'd been heading the direction she was now on a mission. To meet the sister she never knew she had. In Col Sarah Mackenzie she'd found a strong, caring, dedicated woman who looked out for those around her and was loyal to the end. In the month's following Liz' introduction to not only Clarke Palmer, but Mac's family as well, Liz had been enveloped by a group of people she'd never met before. They'd welcomed her with open arms and included her in their lives. But apparently that didn't matter anymore and that's why she was headed back to DC.

Mac had encouraged her to head back to Arizona and finish school; something that Liz had been reluctant to do. Reluctant because she was horrible at keeping in contact with people when she was in school and reluctant because she wasn't sure she could go back. School reminded her of all she's lost in the past two and half years and she didn't want that reminder. But Mac had told her that to move forward with her life, Liz needed to face the past and find the courage to move forward. So Liz left, with promises to write and to email and call every chance that she got. But eight month's later; she'd barely heard from any one and she'd barely contacted anyone. But then she'd seen the news just days ago.

Mac's best friend and partner, Harmon Rabb Jr. had been arrested and charged with murdering a colleague at work. The details ZNN gave were sketchy at best and all calls to try to get in touch with Mac had proved useless. So Liz had decided to stop calling and start acting. So now she was on a plane headed to DC and hopefully to reconnect with her friends and family. Maybe she could even help Harm out.

A/N: I know it's short, that's why it's a teaser. Tell me what you think if it's good or bad or if I should just stop now and put the writing hat away. Oh...Check out my new ficlet "Only on EBAY", I like it and as always Read and Review.
