Disclaimer : None of these characters belong to me, except Celia and Tim. The others belong to either CNS or Channel 9. And I'm quite proud of Celia and Tim!
If the title reminds you of a Crowded House song, you're right and yes, I'm a fan.

Author's note : This is my first crossover. I've written a couple of Water Rats fics but Without A Trace was a first-timer. I've never been a fan of these crossover things but once you find one that suits you it's actually getting somewhere.
I know the timing's not the same in both shows but I made some slight changes ;o)
To make it easier for the reader I wrote this story without flashes back or forward. Don't forget that Sydney is fourteen hours ahead of New-York. Thus if the different time are confusing it's normal. But everything is happening in the order I wrote it (except the Prologue, right).

Summary : Frank Holloway gets a weird phone call, Jack Malone is looking for a friend. Bit of Frank/Rachel and Jack/Sam romance. I can't resist it!
(no real knowledge of Water Rats is needed)

Now We're Getting Somewhere

Prologue

Sydney Water Police Head quarter, 9:00AM present time

"Holloway, you prank! You owe me big this time!" shouted Rachel as she entered her office on this sunny morning.
"What ? You're crazy Rachel, you did it on your own decision I had nothing to do with it." Frank retorted.
"Oh yeah Frank, you had. Last night was everything but my decision." Now she was getting mad at him. He wouldn't escape the crappy day.
"C'mon Rachel you know you're fooling yourself!" he tried knowing that he was taking risk.

Downstairs, Sergeant Helen Blakemore was rolling her eyes. Their top Detectives would soon become a tourist attraction if they went on with their very loud banter.

"Fooling my... Frank, you're in..." Rachel got cut off by a ringing tone. Frank saw his escape and picked it up, it was his phone anyway. In fact he was hoping for a certain call from a certain someone.
"Holloway!" he said almost cheerily.
"Mr Holloway, Special Agent Taylor speaking, FBI. I'd like to ask you a few question to clarify the matter at hands."
Frank was sceptic, FBI, clarify a what, a case they were handling. No come on he hadn't been in the US in ages.
"Em. Yes, of course"

Rachel didn't like Frank's look. He seemed lost and he was rarely lost. She couldn't help but listen. Despite their initial argument she was really getting worried as his pain grew. How had he got there?
