CSI characters are not mine… originals are…
This is not a Mary Sue… and I assure you… I do have a plan as to where this is going so just bear with me… okay?
Thank you for all your reviews! and sorry for not updating… and the last chapter wasn't supposed to be a cliffie, I just kinda realized it was…. Hehehe
Chapter 12
I must have started at that picture for another hour after I hung up with Grissom and booked a flight to South Dakota. I had a few hours to kill before I had to be at the airport and it only took me about five minutes to pack. I was planning on hitting a book store to find one of Jamie's books before I left.
But right now, I intently stared at the picture Brass had sent me. Memorizing every detail, the way strands of hair fell randomly out of her ponytail, her beautiful crystal blue eyes, shining in the pale light of whatever room she was in, her shimmering smile, and the dog tags. The memories flooded back into my mind and I found myself choking back tears again.
On her shoulder I could make out a faint scar, probably what my father had accomplished when he'd attacked her. It was definitely Jamie. I shut the monitor off, grabbed my bag and left.

I walked through the book store intent on finding one of Jamie's books. I finally came upon the romance section, which you'd normally have to pay me to be in, a few moments later. "Taylor…" I said aloud and managed to locate one of her books. 'The Love of My Life,' I have to admit the title intrigued me. I flipped it over to read the summary on the back.
Elicia Thompson was sixteen years old when the love of her life was taken from her. She too had been injured when his father brutally attacked them. But, Kyle Sanders, her lover, had supposedly been killed in the attack.
Twelve years later when a ghost of their past reappears, she proceeds to start her hunt for answers in the fact that no body was ever discovered in Kyle's death. Little does she know, that he is also hunting for her, a successful scientist, he starts his search for the one that got away.
It went on to something about her last hit book, 'Blue Eternity' before the price tag covered up the remaining text. I grinned to myself. She used our middle names, Kyle and Elicia. "Does this mean she's looking for me, too? That she thinks I'm dead?" I asked myself out loud, earning a strange look from a passerby. I walked to the checkout and bought the book. I headed back to my car and made my way to the airport.

I got to the airport early enough so that I could start reading and was on chapter 4 of the book by the time we actually boarded the plane. By the time the two hour flight had ended I had almost finished. I could tell this book was based off of our past and I had the perfect way of surprising Jamie.
I know… another rather short chapter, but I have to plot out this idea and it may take a little ehile since it was spur of the moment inspiration that made me make her a writer… I'll update ASAP… REVIEW and I'll do it faster… hehehe
