Hello again all, How are we? I know once more that I should be updating my other stories and I will in due time. But For now have some more of this.
Disclaimer: I don't own CSI New York or the CSI's. I do own The victims name though (cause I made it up) I also don't own the victims address, I picked it at random.
Selena

Stella:
It was quiet, Stella noted as she roused herself from her slumber. She could tell where she was without even opening her eyes because his scent was everywhere; she was quite clearly in his office on his couch although her mind drew blanks when she attempted to recall just how she got there. Slowly opening her eyes she looked up to see her best friend sat at his desk reading something in front of him. Silently she watched him for a few moments before his voice made her startle in surprise.
"Good Morning" He hadn't looked up once from his piece of paper.
"How did you know I was awake?" She laughed gently and it felt good. It seemed to have been a while since she'd done that.
"I could feel you watching me Stell"
Oops Caught red handed there, she felt herself blush scarlet with embarrassment. He seemed to mistake this though as he frowned at her concerned. "Stel, are you okay?" He stood up and walked towards her as she sat up.
"How's the case going? Have we got that son of a bitch yet?" She frowned; the determination seeped into her eyes.
"No, but we're close" He sat down gently on the couch next to her. Pulling her into his arms he embraced her, she sighed but didn't lean into him. "Maybe I should take you home" Realizing the implications he was the one to flush scarlet and tried to cover his mistake "so you can get some sleep"
"Detective Taylor are you trying to seduce me?" She turned to him and winked. She was tired of all the flirting that always happened between them. Mac would never like her like that though, she had to start facing that but she knew that a little bit of harmless fun never hurt anyone. Pulling away she stood up and walked towards his office door.
Glancing back at him she noticed the smirk as he replied "I wasn't but would you mind if I did?" Shock overwhelmed her, was he actually flirting back and implying that? Did she now just leave or did she stay? Making her decision she walked back towards him slowly. Leaning in close she whispered in his ear.
"No but maybe next time Taylor" Pulling away and winking at him she left the office.

Mac:
She was so close he could smell her perfume and feel her breathe on his neck. He was certainly feeling hot and bothered right now. Stella Bonasera could be a tease if she wanted and god he knew it. A part of him was incredibly proud yet embarrassed at his flirting with her. He couldn't help it. For years there'd been a growing attraction between them and he was finding it difficult to control his impulses. The small touches, the hugs and the kisses. Mac Taylor had never lost control but with Stella? He wasn't sure how much more he could take; he was after all a man.
Standing up, he headed back over to his desk. A ringing filled the air the second he sat down and he sighed.
"Taylor"
"Mac, we've got another body"
"Where?"
"Its… the orphanage Mac. The bastards done it again"
"I'll be right there"
Snapping his cell shut, he suddenly noticed the Brunette standing in his doorway.
"Back so soon?" He smirked at her. She smiled before stepping in and shutting the door. Nodding towards his phone she asked.
"A new case?"
"Yes but I want you and Lindsay to take over the one I was working on." She stepped closer now, her interest piqued.
"Why?"
"Its another one at the orphanage Stell" He frowned as her face screwed up in anger.
"I KNEW IT WAS HIM, he's done it again. We have to get him Mac, we have to. Let me work the case." He stood up as she strolled to his desk.
"No"
"Mac!"
"I said No Stella, I'm sorry." He watched the emotions flitter across her face; anger, sadness and finally nothing. With a cold look she turned and walked towards the door.
"Fine." He tone was cold and he flinched at the word just as his office door slammed shut.

Stella:
Stepping into the elevator with a sigh she pushed the button for Autopsy. She knew she was wrong for getting so angry with Mac, she just wanted to prove this man guilty. He'd hurt yet another young girl and if they couldn't prove it this time who knew how many more there could be. Taking a deep breath she focused on her 'new' case. A young female found in an abandoned building. Identity and COD unknown. Going over the details in her head she started to calm down and was composed enough to allow a slight smile at the gentlemen that entered the lift as the doors opened. Stepping out she pushed her way through the doors and walked up to Sid who was standing next to the body of the young woman.
"Hello Stella" Sid smiled when he noticed her there.
"Hey Sid, what have you got for me?" clipping his glasses back over his eyes her began to gesture over parts of the body.
"This lady was severely beaten, she has several broken ribs, a broken wrist, several fractures to the spine and several abrasions to the thighs." Sid sighed loudly "As if that wasn't enough I also noticed a bruise suggesting internal bleeding on the back of the skull"
"Was that the Cause of Death?" Stella took a good look at the poor woman now she was close. The bruises from the handcuffs were noticeable as were several others across her body.
"No, when I turned her over to examine the bruising on the skull I found this" He turned the body over gently and pointed to the base of the neck.
"She was shot?" She asked gently, a slight surprised tone to her voice.
"Yes multiple times" Now she could see more wounds to the back, at least five she counted off. "But this was the fatal one" He indicted the base of the neck again. The angle showed the bullet track went through her neck upwards and into her brain.
"No exit wound?"
"No, which means our bullet may still be in there" He gently laid the woman back down.
"Thank you Sid" She called as she headed back towards the doors. Stepping back into the elevator she pressed the button for 35th floor. She leant back against the wall of the elevator and closed her eyes. She felt pity for the young woman; beaten and then shot? The crime was definitely full of anger and passion. As the doors open She opened her eyes and stepped out. Lindsay suddenly appeared next to her.
"I got an ID on our vic" She took the file from the young girl and flicked through it, Lindsay carried on talking "Selena Broomfield, 25 years old lived at 201 West 85th Street Manhattan. She was reported missing by her fiancé 2 days ago"
"Well done Lindsay lets go check it out"
