Thanks Charlie and Ash for you reviews. I want to do some of the more fun chapters. I have big plans for All Access. This chapter isn't betaed because pixie (No offence, hugs pix) hasn't been online and I had promised I'd get it up yesterday.

A year in the lab through Aiden's eyes.

Chapter 2: Corporate warriors.

"What's the best part of the San Gennaro?" I knew Danny's response. Same every year.

"Cannolis." I laughed.

"Well, Italians got it right. Live to eat, not eat to live."

"Have you been talking to Stella again?"

"Speaking of talking…"

"I only asked her about the case, that's all. Will you give it a rest, there is nothing going on between me and Montana…"

"how did you know I was going to mention Lindsay?" I stood, hands on hips, staring down at him accusingly. Danny blushed. It was fun to watch him squirm.

"Well, I just, I don't…"

I sighed. "Let's go get some cannolis." Danny sat up, drooling. Typical boy.

"So what was the case?"

"A Martial arts demonstration took over the pool hall, just" Danny looked round "There!" He pointed to a door on our right. "And Mac and Lindsay have a dead body with a severed head in Central Park and the cases were connected."

"With that severed head? Sometimes, everything isn't connected." Danny laughed.

"What?"

"According to Montana, That's what Mac said." Mac. I still can't understand why he fired me.

"Oh, according to Montana, is it now?"

"Shut. Up."

"So I looked into my P.I. yesterday. I think instead of a complete career change, that's what I'm going to do."

"Right. Aid, did ya know Mac had an interest in Asian weaponry?"

"Mr No-one-knows-Mac-Better-then-me, as you always brag about."

"OK, Aid! Me and Cindy have plans for later, so I'll have to go soon"

"I swear you almost said Lindsay, not Cindy."

"Aiden, if you make one more crack about me and Monroe, then I will stick a pool cue through your side"

We made it to the connolis.

"Yes, I'll take two plates $2."

"Paying, are we, Aiden?"

"Danny! No, you paying me back as soon as we make it to a seat!" I'll have to get him back for that. Danny would pay up, but not for a while, and I was skint and needed some money to get home."Hey Danny. You remember that time you did karate?"

"Mac said it would help release my frustration after the Meinhaus cae, so I went to a session to please him."

"Only you were partnered with a kid cause you were knew…"

"And I refused to hit him…" Danny was offering me his pound to stop me telling the rest of the story.

"So he reached up and broke your nose."

"Oh, is that the time? Must go, Aid. Cindy will be thinking I've stood her up." Nice subject chance Messer, and speedy exit.

"Poor Lindsay." I couldn't help adding.

Danny doing karate… HOT!
