Disclaimer:" I don't own CSI: NY, but if I did Jess never would have died so I wouldn't be writing this fic. The song is Stand in the rain by Superchick. It's an awesome song. You really need to listen to it to understand why it makes Jess do what she does. Type it in on YouTube and it will come up.
Jessica Angell was on her treadmill in her Brooklyn. So many times she just wanted to contact Flack, but the FBI was monitoring her every move.
She felt like she was in one of the dreams she had been having ever since she blacked out in that hospital room. She was always running, but never getting anywhere. She always had tears streaming down her face. Sometimes she would be running to her family or her friends, but most of the time she was trying to run towards Flack. She had her IPod on as always and heard that song that always made her go numb because it perfectly explained what was going on. Every time she heard it she just wanted to go to Flack's apartment. The FBI had kept him under surveillance and her supposed death was tearing him apart.
With each line of the song she went faster and faster, crying harder and harder.
She never slows down
She doesn't know why, but she knows that when she's alone it feels like it's all coming down
She won't turn around
The shadows are long and she fears if she cries that first tear, the tears will not stop raining down
So stand in the rain
Stand your ground
Stand up when it's all crashing down
She won't make a sound
Alone in this fight with herself and the fears whispering if she stands she'll fall down
She wants to be found
The only way out is through everything she's running from
Wants to give up and lie down
So stand in the rain
Stand your ground
Stand up when it's all crashing down
You stand through the pain
You won't drown
And one day, what's lost can be found
You stand in the rain
So stand in the rain
Stand your ground
Stand up when it's all crashing down
You stand through the pain
You won't drown
And one day, what's lost can be found
You stand in the rain
So stand in the rain
Stand your ground
Stand up when it's all crashing down
You stand through the pain
You stand through the pain
You won't drown
And one day, what's lost can be found
You stand in the rain
Hearing the powerfulness of the song, she started to remember who she was before all of this had happened.
She stepped of the treadmill. She grabbed the phone, took a deep breath and dialed the number she knew by heart.
She knew that there would be consequences, but this is what she wanted and running to that song made her realize just how much she wanted it.
"Flack." He said. For a moment she just stood there. She hadn't heard his voice since she was on that gurney in the ER.
"Hello? Anyone there?" He said and she could tell he was irritated. In the background she could hear someone shouting about her and DNA.
"Don." She said slowly, feeling the butterflies in her stomach.
"Jess?" She heard his voice go from annoyed to pure joy.
"I missed you so much. I'm so sorry about this about everything. I love you so much."
"I love you too babe. Oh my god. This feels like a dream. Where are you?" She could hear people yelling all around him.
"Umm… I'm at my apartment. It's 14B, 205---" Suddenly she felt a sharp blow to the back of her head. She fell to the floor. The last thing she saw was the phone dangling by its cord and she could hear Don's voice calling her name.
Right before she heard a voice that she recognized as Robert Dunbrook's.
"I liked you better when you were dead."
What he didn't know is that Flack had recorded the call, so he also recorded the attack.
