Chapter 5: A cowboy racer…


-New York Team-

Breakfast went smoothly, Mac and Adam were thanked for their part in the process and Stella was thanked for the most part. Hawkes, Flack and Danny were sat on a log, opposite to the one the girls –Payton and Lindsay were sat on. They were complaining about how they were going to miss some big games that upcoming week. Stella kept rolling her eyes at their whines, as she and Adam cleared away the breakfast equipment. Mac had gone to meet their guide at the reception desk, and would be back soon which left them all enough time to relax a little more before their first activity. Stella, Payton and Lindsay were discussing 'their first's'. ''Honestly Stel, that was my first time!'' Payton pleaded to her friend as Stella burst out giggling with Lindsay. ''Alright. Lindsay it's your turn,'' Stella said as she playfully jabbed her best friend in the ribs. Lindsay saw all eyes turn on her, she asked sheepishly, ''what do you want to know?'' Stella looked at Payton then nodded. ''When was your first kiss in the big apple?'' Payton enquired just as Sheldon and Stella made an 'ooo' noise as if they were in 5th Grade. ''Erma let me think…''Lindsay trailed off, but Flack interrupted her thoughts. ''Had that many Monroe?'' Sheldon nudged Flack with his elbow into his rib which made him whine. ''No Flack, actually I don't think I've had one…'' Her voice got quieter towards the end. ''Awh!'' Payton and Stella all aid in unison. Lindsay felt her cheeks getting warmer; she tried to fight it but realized she was fighting a lost battle. She blushed, when will this end…. She thought to herself, but was again interrupted by Mac this time.
-Team Gibbs-
Tony and McGee woke up to find Abby still sound asleep. They got out of the Cabin quietly to avoid waking her up. As they got outside they found Ziva and Gibbs making breakfast McGee and Tony looked at each other in shock. Okay, this is strange. Tony thought to himself, as he looked at his friend then back at the two agents in front of them. Yeah, strange… McGee agreed as if they could hear each other's thoughts. ''Gonna stand there all day DiNozzo?'' Gibbs asked then continued as he addressed McGee, ''you too Elf Lord?'' They snapped out of their thoughts and approached them. ''Go wake Abby, Ziva it's almost done.'' Gibbs informed her as he took another swig of his coffee. ''Actually, Abby did not come back to ours last night, was she at yours all night McGee?'' Ziva asked curiously. ''Yeah, we kinda fell asleep while we watched a film. I'll go get her now boss,'' he explained as he saw Gibbs look suspiously at him. All the time McGee and Ziva were speaking Tony could not take his eyes off Ziva's ass. His thoughts were again interrupted when he received as slap on the back of the head from his boss. ''Hey DiNozzo,'' Tony's eyes immeditaly diverted their attention elsewhere. Meanwhile, McGee had entered his cabin to find Abby sleeping silently. ''Hey Abs, wake up…'' McGee carefully shook her arm until she woke up. ''What time is it Ziva?'' She asked groggily then upon realizing it was McGee who had woke her up she amended her comment, ''McGee…'' Abby bolted up and ended up banging her head as she did so. ''Careful,'' McGee said as he brushed a rouge strand of hair from her pale face and kissed her forehead. ''A little too late for that ya think Tim,'' Abby laughed nervously. ''Yeah.'' McGee replied before continuing ''breakfast's ready, Gibbs and Ziva made it.'' When McGee mentioned Ziva's name she started to panic. ''Ziva, oh my god I meant to go back to our cabin last night. Do you think she was worried oh no…'' she trailed off but McGee brought her back to reality. ''She knows you're here, just hurry up and get ready okay?'' McGee explained as he started walking towards the door.


-New York Team-

''Well I'd hate to stop your fun, but there's someone here to meet you.'' Mac motioned towards the young man, dressed in a guide's get-up who had appeared in their site. ''Mornin' I'm Aaron and I'll be your team guide for time here. I hope you're ready, you're about to begin your first activity.'' Aaron explained to the group of CSI's, Lab Tech, Detective and Medical Examiner. Flack chuckled quietly, ''what's this guy gotta prove?'' He whispered into Danny's ear, earning him a glare from Mac, before he spoke again. ''Go get your bags and be back here in 5.'' Mac ordered the group as he motioned Aaron towards the log benches signalling him to sit as Mac turned to walk to his cabin with Adam.
5 minutes later exactly; Stella, Lindsay, Payton had put their bikini's on under their shorts and t-shirts as they were planning on going for a swim after their first task. Adam and Mac were sat with Aaron and the girls with their backpacks on waiting for the guys. What are we doing…? I mean what is this? Friends? Colleagues? More? Lindsay thought to herself while staring into space. Stella waved her hands in front of her best friends face in order to pull her back to reality. ''Earth to Lindsay, hey kiddo.'' Stella chimed as Lindsay snapped back and saw Stella staring at her. ''Sorry Stel, I was miles away…'' Lindsay giggled as her cheeks turned a shade pinker. ''Anywhere, nice?'' Stella asked as she gave a sweet, simple smile. ''I'm not sure yet…'' Lindsay began before Mac interrupted her. ''Where are they?'' He asked as he looked at his watch. ''Boom,'' Danny exclaimed as he sat down next to Mac and Adam. ''I'm not even going to ask.'' Stella sighed as she diverted her attention from Lindsay to Danny, Flack and Sheldon who had finally arrived.


-Team Gibbs-

''You look like you've never eaten before Tony. Calm up,'' Ziva exclaimed with a laugh. ''Calm down, Ziva,'' Tony corrected her with a full mouth. ''Did your mother not teach you manners?'' She asked him as he shot her a weird look. Abby got up from her seat, ''yeah… I'm just gonna go… like now… bye!'' Abby said then hurried off towards the lake. ''I think you scared her Tony,'' McGee said cheerfully. ''You don't say Probie.'' Tony said sarcastically.
After everyone had finished eating and Abby had returned, they disused their plans for the day before they had their first task at 4pm. ''So, what does everyone want to do today?'' Gibbs asked. ''Maybe we could watch films...'' Tony began as Ziva cut him off, ''not much of an outdoor's person Tony?'' McGee chuckled lightly as he glanced at Abby then looked away when he saw Gibbs staring at him. ''No, it's just...'' Tony tried to defend himself when Abby stepped in, '' come on maybe we could go for a swim in the lake, I heard some of the girls on the other team whilst I was walking round, they said it was great!'' Abby jumped with excitement, Gibbs smiled slightly, ''Alright Abs, seems you have made a solid case.'' Abby jumped again, as she took hold of Ziva's hand and dragged her to get changed in their Cabin. ''Girls...'' Tony muttered under his breath as he and McGee went to do the same, leaving Gibbs sat around the campfire that had died out that night.
About 10 minutes later Gibbs was the first one out of his cabin, dressed in a white shirt and camaflage combat shorts. Next was Abby and Ziva, Abby had a tight black top on with black shorts, however Ziva had another baggy top on and some denim shorts she was obviously not dressing to impress. ''Come on guys!'' Abby yelled as she realized Gibbs was growing impatiant. ''Coming...'' Tony's voice trailed off as the two dressed in long shorts and blue/black shirts arrived out of their Cabin. McGee locked up as Tony made his way towards Gibbs. ''Ready boss?'' Tony asked, ''been ready for 10 minutes DiNozzo!'' Gibbs replied as he 'slapped' him on the back of his head, the girls giggled slightly, ''gotcha boss.'' Tony winced. The Team set off to the lake, Abby skipped off infront with McGee walking close behind, as Gibbs, Ziva and Tony walked side by side.


-New York Team-

The team had relocated to the high ropes zone, since that was their first activity. ''As you can see, this first task will be completed in pairs. The pairing's for this task will be as follows; Mac and Stella, Payton and Sheldon, Lindsay and Danny, and then Adam and Flack.'' Aaron paused as they got into their teams then continued. ''You will not be in these teams for every activity, you will swap around so you can work with different people and find out what their skills are as well as your own. Good luck, first pair to reach their coloured flag wins. It's just for fun so remember, be considerate and kind.'' They all laughed at the last comment. Then they all dispersed to put their harnesses on, Adam, Payton and Lindsay had trouble putting theirs on so Aaron helped them. But when Aaron came to help Lindsay, Danny let out a low growl which the others except Lindsay and Aaron did not hear. Aaron quickly buckled Lindsay in securely then backed away, not taking his eyes off Danny the entire time. Lindsay let out a quiet but deep sigh as she shook her head. Seriously? Messer did you really just urgh. She thought to herself as Danny took her hand and led her to the starting pole along with the rest of the team. Stella and Mac were in lane one; Adam and Flack were in two, Lindsay and Danny were in three and Sheldon and Payton were in four. ''3…2...1... GO!'' Aaron yelled as they set off up the ladders to the first platform. ''Well done guys, keep going'' Aaron shouted compliments to each team. ''You've got skills with your hands Sheldon. Great team work you guys'' He motioned towards Stella and Mac who were leading one and other up and across the first platform. ''Slow down guys, you might fall!'' Aaron shouted cautiously to Flack and Adam. ''That's what I've been saying…'' Adam trailed off. ''Nice work Lindsay… you too Danny.'' Aaron complimented the pair, but sure enough Danny mimicked the guide as he pulled Lindsay over a gap in the bridge. I'm done… Lindsay thought as she squirmed out of Danny's grasp. The other three pairs were too engrossed in what they were doing to notice Lindsay lower herself off the platform and back down onto the muddy ground. She unbuckled herself in a rush, closely followed by Danny. Aaron had noticed but figured it would be best not to mention it.
''Danny I know your behind me, stop following me!'' Lindsay snapped as she folded her arms as she headed back to the cabins. ''I'm not going anywhere Montana, what's up?'' He asked as he picked up speed so he was next to her. ''Stop calling me that, it's Lindsay. Lindsay Monroe.'' Lindsay answered as she changed direction. Danny followed her and jogged in front of her, cutting her off. She stopped and looked at the floor, not looking up to see his blue eyes stare into hers. ''Hey? Lands, what's wrong.'' He asked again, but when she did not answer he pulled her into a hug and kissed her head. She pulled away quickly, ''THIS'' she shouted.


-Team Gibbs-

''I am going to go take a shower, we should be meeting Aaron soon, so I suggest you do the same,'' Ziva spoke as Gibbs nodded in agreement. She stood up in the water, releavling her dark purple bikini, Tony stole little glances every now and again as she began to make her way towards her towel. ''Me too Boss,'' Tony said as he and McGee got up. ''Yeah,'' McGee agreed as they started walking towards their towels. ''See you later, HEY WAIT UP DAVID,'' Tony smiled at his boss and Abby then turned and yelled in the direction Ziva was travlling in. Gibbs took one final breath then slowly got up out of the water too. ''Hey Abs, you coming?'' Gibbs asked his favorite little goth. ''Yeah just a few more minutes,'' she replied sweetly as she splashed around in the large lake. ''Alright,'' he said softy as he too turned to walk back to the Cabin.

After a few minutes he was gone, Abby was blissfully un awear of the small rustling in the bushes close to where her stuff was. Just like she was unawear of the pair of beedy eyes looking in her direction. Finally when the noise got louder she heard it, ''forgot something Gibbs?'' She asked innocently into the shadows, it was now mid-afternoon and the sun was shinning onto the lake making some parts of the lake blinding to look at. Abby was supprised when there was no reply. ''Gibbs?'' She asked again, ''McGee? Is that you or Tony?'' There was still no reply, ''Ziva?'' She asked again finally with no response she decided to get up. She started making her way towards the direction of the noise. As she got closer she realized her shorts were missing, she wrapped her towel around herself and slipped on her boots. Her tangled hair fell on her shoulders. Abby picked up her top and turned swiftly back towards the Cabin. She heard a deep chuckle that was nearly undetectable, she did not recognize is so she thought best not to look around. Abby walked back to the cabin, picking up speek with every stride. Eventually her walk became a run and with no time at all, even in her heeled boots, she made it back to the campsite. It was empty, everyone was still in their cabins. She throw open the door and slammed it shut, luckly Ziva was still in the shower and did not seem to hear the loud bang she created. Abby sat down on her bed and thought about what had happened. She decided to get her bag together and act normally around the others, so she pushed the event to the back of her mind. Unknowing that it will come back to bite her in the ass in the long run. Her actions would not only effect her team, but the other team as well.


- New York Team -

Danny didn't know what to do. ''This! All of it. I mean what are we Danny? What is this?'' Lindsay asked quieter this time. Danny shook his head, ''It's anything we want it to be.'' He tried to pull her into a hug again but she put her hands up in between them blocking him. ''Danny, you're a real nice guy. I like you and I do. But we're moving too fast.'' Way too fast. She thought as she waited for a response. They both began to walk towards the lake, slowly but it didn't take them long to arrive there. ''I thought this is what you wanted?'' Danny said after a while, with more annoyance in his voice than intended. ''It is, but not now. Danny whatever this is... is moving too fast. I can't keep up.'' She replied, as she felt her eyes begin to well up. ''Make your mind up Lindsay!'' Danny spat, he only called her Lindsay when it was serious. ''Lindsay, huh?'' She asked. ''Yeah that's what you said your name was.'' He answered as he turned away. ''Yeah, but I meant…'' Danny laughed, ''There you go, changing your mind again.'' He started walking away. ''Danny… Wait.'' Lindsay began but was cut off by Danny. ''No, now it's my turn to change my mind. I'm done.'' And with that Danny was gone. He headed back to the campsite. Lindsay stood there, watching the path which Danny had just gone down, hoping he would come back so they could talk. He did not. After a few minutes she turned back to the lake.

Lindsay slipped off her sneakers and unbuttoned her shorts, not realizing the dark, green eyes filled with envy and angst watch her take off her clothes. She pulled off her top and stood there, gazing into the water in a navy blue bikini. With a loud and painful sigh she stepped into the water. It wasn't as warm as it had been earlier, but it wasn't too cold either. What have I done… she thought to herself. ''What have I done?'' She asked herself this time louder, she did not expect a response but when she did it startled her. ''I couldn't have planned this better myself…'' A low, deep voice replied. It made her tremble with fear. The voice shot through her like a bolt of lightning, her body tensed up. The voice laughed at that. Lindsay felt someone's presence behind her, the laughing had stopped. ''Who…'' was all she could manage before being knocked unconscious. ''Goodnight, Miss Monroe.'' The voice whispered as he picked up Lindsay's small, limp frame.


So Lindsay thought that she and Danny were moving too fast, and now what has happend to her. How will Danny react? Was the man that took Lindsay the same one Abby heard? If she'd of told someone could things have turned out differently? How will the New York team react when they learn about Lindsay's dissaperance. Stay tuned...
Didn't turn out the way I planned it so unsure about this, sorry for the really long wait I was waiting for my beta to get back to me, but they never did-.-. So here it is, review on your way out please:) x. Sorry if there is any mistakes okay? x
