Disclaimer – I own nothing but Emma.
Chapter 5
When Emma walked into the precinct the next day, she was surprised to hear that Flack was already interrogating someone with Mac so she went and stood outside the interrogation room and watched as the woman was confessing to her husband's murder and was shocked by how calm she was about it. She knew that she certainly would not be calm if she had done something like that.
After Flack had arrested her, he and Emma went back out to the precinct to catch up on paperwork because they were both seriously falling behind and they heard Danny and Hawkes arguing over Danny not trying hard enough in physical therapy.
Later on that day, Mac calls them all together and says that he fears that they have a serial killer on the loose as DNA matches all kinds of cold cases over the years. Flack, Emma and Stella canvas the apartment building where the victim was living and discover that the victim had a second wife and had her living in the same apartment building as his first one but Emma agreed with Stella that if she had another overweight hairy man in boxers and a wife beater leering at her one more time she would be sick.
The CSIs discovered that a Marcia Vasquez had been delivering drugs through World Send packages and also could possibly be the murderer so Emma, Flack and Lindsay went to bring her in. They didn't see Marcia until she had managed to grab Emma around the throat and was holding a knife to her stomach. She told Flack to shoot or she would stab Emma but Flack froze and Lindsey had to tackle Marcia from the side but the knife slashed Emma across the stomach when she did.
Mac went ballistic at Flack once he found out from Lindsay that he had frozen and told him that he had to sort things out because if Lindsay had not been there then Emma could have been killed and it would have been his fault.
Emma was told that she would need to clean the cut out regularly and Mac offered to take her home. She didn't even look at Flack on the way past because she didn't want to think that he could not shoot to save his own partner and swore that she would not let him or his apparent hatred for her bother her anymore and she was done trying to be friendly to him
