Disclaimer: I own nothing but Emma.
AN: ** is a flashback.
Emma walked up the steps to the NYPD precinct and pushed the door open. She was going to be introduced to her new partner and the rest of the department today. She was wearing black trousers, a white tie to the side top and a black suit jacket. She had her long wavy blonde hair tied up in a messy ponytail. She was extremely nervous about meeting everyone but especially her partner.
As she walked in, she saw Chief Sinclair talking to everyone. "Everyone, I know we are all still in shock over the death of Det. Jessica Angell but as we are short staffed as a result of her death I have had to recruit another Detective." Chief Sinclair said. "WHAT!" shouted one of the detectives in the room. "Detective Flack, I know that you are still upset about Det. Angell's death, we all are, but we cannot continue to have just you working with the CSIs, therefore I would like to introduce you and the rest of your colleagues to Detective Emma McLachlan" Chief Sinclair calmly stated while indicating to Emma. Everyone in the precinct turned to look at her as she stood by the door. "Detective Flack, she will be your new partner I expect you to treat her with the respect she deserves. Now do I recall you saying something about a Crime Scene before I silenced you all. I wish Emma to shadow you just now therefore she will be going with you." Chief Sinclair stated as he walked into his office and shut the door.
"Come on" Flack said as he stormed past her. " We have a murder in the Bronx. Guy was shot and car was stripped clean." As she got into the car, Emma knew that he was not going to make it easy for her. She was right. He did not acknowledge her the whole time on the way to the crime scene and still didn't acknowledge her apart from telling her to go see if there were any witnesses. When she came back from trying to find witnesses of which there were none, she saw Flack talking to another man. His frown came back when he saw her. "Mac, this is my new partner, Det. McLachlan, Det. McLachlan, this is Mac Taylor, CSI det." Said Flack. "Pleased to meet you, Det. McLachlan" stated Mac "Its Emma and it's a pleasure to meet you too"
Flack and Mac started to walk down the street so Emma followed. "Looks like a robbery gone sour" Flack said to Mac, completely ignoring the fact that Emma was there. "What makes you think robbery", "Just a hunch" Flack replied as they surveyed the shell of the car that was left and the body of the driver. "At least they left us the body," A African American CSI was already examining the body and confirmed the victim had been shot at close range in the chest. The time of death was six hours previous and they all knew that to completely strip the car in that time that they would have had to work fast. Emma walked up to Mac and Flack and said "There is security cameras all over this street. They should have seen who killed Mr Dexter".
Emma and Flack walked back into the precinct after a very awkward drive back in which Flack glared out of the windscreen. Emma sat at her desk and thought back to the reason that she wanted to get out of the UK.
Emma walked up to her flat in London, just wanting to get into bed with her boyfriend of 1 year and a half and go to sleep. She let herself in and started towards the bedroom but when she got to the door she heard a woman's voice saying "When are you going to leave the ugly girl you landed yourself with? I mean you must have to close your eyes when you are shagging her?" And then she heard the thing that broke her heart in two. "I am only staying with her for my cousin because he is getting married to her sister, when they are married I will ditch the stupid girl. I mean does she honestly think that she could hang onto me."
By that point Emma was crying silently, she walked back the way she came and shut the door behind her. And went back to work.
The next day she told him by text to get himself and his whore out of her flat and asked for a transfer as far away as possible. She put papers in for the New York position because she had always wanted to live in New York but Gavin had stopped her saying that he didn't want to live in America.
Emma was brought out of her memories by Flack slamming his hand on her desk and saying that if she was finished daydreaming, they had a suspect in interrogation. Watching Flack interrogate the guy was an insight into him. He was obviously pissed off with the guy because she was as well. What kind of person walks over the dead body of someone to strip the car, it just wasn't right. But Flack was keeping his cool. The guy kept denying it until Flack showed him the security footage of him stealing the GPS. The guy sat back down after that.
The CSIs figured out who murdered the driver and Emma and Flack and uniforms went to collect him. "I want you to stay behind me, McLachlan. I don't need a rookie messing this up." Said Flack. "I am not a rookie Flack and you know it so why don't you just shut up and we will do our jobs." Emma retorted, feeling quite pissed off at him. Flack burst through the door of the apartment where Mosley the suspect was staying. Mosley tried to run but stood on one of his own syringes. Mac and Flack took a photo of it stuck in his foot before they let him take it out.
In interrogation Mac and Flack confronted Mosley with the photos of the victim. Emma was nauseous as Mosley sat there and denied that he had murdered the guy even though they had found the victim's wallet in his apartment and the bullets from his gun matched the one found inside the victim and his prints were at the scene. Mosley told them that the guy was calling attention to himself but Mac knew that he saw a crime of opportunity only Dexter fought back so he killed him. Mosley tried to excuse it by saying that you had to be tough to survive. Mac told him that Dexter had a wife and two kids and Mosley replied so do I. Mac said "Now both of you will never see them again."
Later on that day they got called out to another murder, this time a guy in a restaurant took an allergic reaction to the peanut sauce even though he had asked for none. The waitress showed them what she had put in and she done the order right. So someone had hacked into the system just like they did with the first guy and changed the order. The CSIs then discovered that both the men worked for the same medical care company.
Mac discovered that cameras had been installed in the crime lab. The murderer was watching them. They discovered that the company had shut down a cancer care centre, and that only one of the employees of the company that they found out the suspect was working at was being treated there but they had to go rescue the last victim who the suspect had trapped in a elevator to bring on a severe panic attack. Emma managed to reach in and pull her out before the guy plummeted the elevator all the way down the shaft. They went to arrest the guy only to find that he had pulled his ventilator off and killed himself.
Stella invited Emma to come out for drinks with the team and Flack but she had to decline because she still had unpacking to do and she needed the rest.
