Chapter 4:

If this was a long wait for you I'm sorry. Here's the next chapter…

In Greece Stella just got a hotel room, she laid down on the bed; it was really soft. She fell asleep almost immediately. Her dream was about Mac:

He came into her room in New York and she was lying on her bed with only a robe on. Mac sat on her bed and smells her hair.

"Mac, what are you doing?"

"Smelling your hair, is that such a crime?"

"I guess not… Detective Taylor," she said flirtatiously.

"I'm defenseless when you say my name like that."

"If you don't like it, then you could of just said so."

"No, I don't mind it at all," he kisses her; which is when Stella woke up. She didn't know this, but this was the same dream Mac told Adam he had. Stella didn't fall asleep after that, she wanted him out of her mind for time being.

Mac was day dreaming at his desk, and drooling on paperwork. Danny saw him and came inside his office.

"Mac, wake up," he goes over to him and shakes him.

"What, what'd I miss?"

"Nothin', you were just drooling on some paperwork."

"Well thanks for your concern."

"So, how you holding up?"

"Not so good Danny. I think I should head home."

"But, it's only five o' clock Mac."

"Yeah, I know, but I'll see you guys later. You and Flack can hold up the lab," he gets up grabs some things and leaves. Flack comes in after Mac leaves.

"What's up with Mac?"

"He's a little upset, let's get back to work."

Once Mac got home, he laid his plane ticket on his side table and decided to call Stella… after he sat down on his couch.

"Mac, you're calling me?"

"Yeah, you seem a bit surprised about that."

"Well, I do usually call you. So, how's your day?"

"Fine, so um I hope you had a good day."

"Mac… it's nice to hear from you."

"Same here, well talk to you later, okay?"

"Sure, later," she hung up her cell. That was an awkward conversation, they both thought.

Mac couldn't fall asleep for the life of him, he was too upset he didn't talk much to Stella. He was getting tired, but couldn't go back to sleep because his plane left in two hours. Packing got things out of his mind.

Stella on the other hand just woke up at ten in Greece's time. She rings up room service and eats a delicious breakfast. While she was eating she got a call from Kolovos on her cell.

"How in the hell did you get my number?"

"That is not important; I know you're in Greece."

"Are you stalking me… well that's not my problem anymore, I gave up my badge, so leave me alone."

"Ain't that sad, your boyfriend fired you."

"Actually boy, I quit so shove it up your…"

"Well, isn't that good to know," he said maliciously and hung up.

At the lab everyone was worried because Mac wasn't there yet.

"Where is Mac?" Adam asked Danny. "You talked to him last."

"I don't know Adam, you think it's my fault?"

"No, I'm not accusing you of anything."

"Well Angell went with Flack to Mac's apartment to see what his problem is. So let's just relax."

Flack knocks on Mac's door, but Mac didn't answer so he and Angell held their guns in position. Flacks kicked open the door.

"NYPD!"

"Don, nobody's here, but there a note on his fridge," she points to it, and Don picks it up.

"It says that he went to Greece to get Stella to come back; he's coming back whenever he gets Stella to change her mind."

"Let's go and tell the others," she smiles and they take the note back to the lab. Meanwhile Mac is boarding his flight. He was in first class and the flight attendant was hitting on him.

"Hey sexy, are you alone?"

"Yeah, but I like someone, so don't waste your breath."

She walks away and Mac frowns. Back at the lab, Flack and Angell held a meeting.

"Well Mac found out that Stella went to Greece."

Adam face showed no expression. "So who told Mac?" Flack integrated them.

"Well I didn't, so can I go?" Lindsay asked and Flack nods.

"Hey Adam, you talked to Mac mostly all day yesterday, if you did it just tell us," Angell asked nicely.

Adam stood there and lowered his head, "Okay, I did, but Mac said he wouldn't go there. So it's not all my fault," he raised his head and smiled.

"You would actually believe Mac… when it comes to Stella," Flack told him.

"I know, and I'm sorry," he says and leaves.

"Everyone else file out," Flack grinned.

Stella soon got bored, so she went back to the bar.

"Nice to see you back here."

"I got bored," Stella smiled.

"Did you have a good sleep?"

"For the most part, I'm surprised that I got any sleep."

"Wanna tell me about it?"

"Not really, because then I'll have to tell you the whole truth."

"So, you lied to me last night?"

"Yeah, but I told you that because I didn't feel like telling you the story."

"Let's just start from the beginning."

"I'll just start from a few days ago, it will take months to tell you everything…" she starts telling him the story.

At the lab at a quarter till seven, Adam had isolated himself from everyone. Danny came to talk to him, "Adam, are you going to be all right?"

"I think so Danny, I just hope Stella won't get mad at me."

"Don't we all, once Stella gets mad it's like forget about it."

Adam laughs, "Besides Mac, Stella is one to hold a grudge."

"Yeah, talk to you later, okay Adam," he pats him on the back and leaves. Adam takes out his cell and calls Stella.

"So, now Mac is mad at me…" she stops and picks up her cell. "Hey Adam."

"Hi Stella, how's your day going?"

"It's fine, I actually made a friend."

"Well that's good; Stella, I did something bad."

"Adam, what did you do now?"

"I told someone something that I shouldn't have."

"Um… you're not going to tell me what you said are you?"

"No, but I have a good reason."

"I'm sure you do."

"Stella, I got another call. Talk to you later."

"Okay Adam," she smiled and hung up. Mac was the other call.

"Hey Adam, I guess you heard that I was heading to Greece; well I just got there."

"Oh, did you have a good flight?"

"It was all right," he sighs.

"Mac you sound upset… are you all right? What's up?"

"I don't know, it's probably because I don't know what to say to Stella."

"Good luck with that."

"Adam, I mean help me."

"I don't know Mac, just worry about finding her first."

"Well… that's important, well talk to you later, okay?"

"Sure," he says and hangs up.

Mac left the airport starting his search for Stella. After a while he started to get thirsty, and he goes in the closest bar. Mac sat down on a stool.

"Good afternoon sir, how may I help you?"

"You speak English?"

"Of course…" he stated a little worried.

"Well, then can I have a black coffee?"

"Coffee… in a bar," he smiles. "Coming up momentarily."

"Hey bar-keep, you see a lady come in here?"

"Yeah, actually she's quite lovely, she just went to the bathroom."

After Mac gets his coffee, Stella comes out of the bathroom. He points to her, "There she is," Mac turns around and his jaw drops he gets up. She looked surprised and angry.

"Stella, there you are," he smiles.

"I'm guessing you two know each other," the bartender smiles…
