CSI NY and CSI Miami Crossover Story: Who Knows?
By Cindy Miller
Chapter 1:
Getting There
Lindsey
Monroe had just crawled into bed beside her boyfriend of a few months, another
detective and CSI, Danny Messer. It was
quiet-late. It had been a really long
day and she was glad to be home. She had
no sooner turned on the light when her cell phone rang. She answered it. “Monroe.”
“Lindsey, it’s Mac. Don’t worry, I’m not going to make you come
in again. As soon as this is over you
can go back to sleep.”
“Ok, what’s up?”
“Is Danny with you?”
“Yeah. He’s right here. Do you want him to hear this too?”
“Yeah. Put it on SPEAKER.”
She did,
and then Mac proceeded to tell them what was up. “You know that Browman case?”
“The one where the creep from Miami
killed a girl, and then came to New York on a rampage?” Danny had a flair for
the dramatic.
“Yes. The Miami Crime Lab wants us to have all the
background on the case, so Horatio Caine is sending his two best CSI’s to our
aide. They’ll be here tomorrow. I didn’t want you guys to get in and not know
what was going on. I’ll be showing them
around in the morning when they get here.”
“Who’s he sending?” Danny
asked. “Hopefully it’s that ‘bullet
girl’ everyone always talks about.”
“Well, you’re right there,
Danny. He’s sending Calleigh
Duquesne. He’s also sending Eric Delko.”
“Oh, I wanted to talk to him over
the computer when we did that one case with them. I never got the chance. I worked with the dead guy-Speedle… Before he
was dead…” He trailed.
“Well, you’ll have plenty of time
to work with both of them. They’ll be
here for a week.”
“They can stay at our place. We’ve got room.” Lindsey said.
“Alright. I’ll mention that to
them. Well, that’s all I wanted to tell
you. I guess I’ll see you guys bright
and early.”
“That you will.” Lindsey told
him. When they hung up, she asked Danny,
“So, these people, do you know them?”
“Not really. I know them by name and reputation. I don’t know them personally. But from what Mac says, they’re very good
friends, a great team.”
“Well then, I will look forward
to working with them.” She smiled. He
kissed her cheek and told her good night and that he loved her. She felt so lucky to be with him.
Calleigh
Duquesne had to admit that she wasn’t thrilled with the idea of going on this
trip with Eric. It wasn’t that she
didn’t like him, nothing like that. It
just- things were so weird now-after that day when she had kissed his
cheek… She didn’t know why she had done
it, and at the moment, she didn’t regret it.
Actually, she still didn’t, but it had started something that she didn’t
want to-couldn’t finish. And then, after
all the flirting, she’d gone back with Jake, almost as if she expected Eric to
just get over it, get over her. She knew
he was hurt, and that was something that hurt her. She took a deep breath. They were on the plane now. He hadn’t said but five or six words to her
the entire trip, and she knew it was because he didn’t want to say something to
make her uncomfortable. But she could
see in his eyes, he wanted to. And she
couldn’t let him. Her stomach
churned. He was sitting right next to
her, but it felt like he was miles away.
In a way, that’s how she wanted it.
But, this whole thing had put a dent in their friendship. That was probably the most painful thing. He had never been anything but kind to her and
she had let him down. She took a deep
breath. “I’m sorry.” She said, very
quietly. He turned to her. “What?”
“I’m
sorry, for letting you down.”
“Calleigh,
you didn’t let me down. You just- led me
on. I’m not sure which one is worse… But
you know, it’s all good. If you’re happy
with Jake, whatever, I guess I’ll just have to get over it. I’ll try to be ok with him but I can’t be
expected to like him.”
“I
don’t expect that from you.”
