Notes: Just a series of one shots on how I picture the CSI's as the friends in Friends. This one won't be all Friends, but it will have some background.

The One With The CSI's

Detective Mac Taylor was looking in a case file. It was half past two in the morning. Two of his CSI's were supposed to be on the ground looking at some of the case reports. They were asleep. Mac didn't really care at this point. He knew that wherever the other members of the team were they were asleep. Kelly Higgins had her back against Mac's desk. She had fallen asleep within the last hour. Next to her, Danny was sleeping with a case report on top of his chest. Mac left the room for a minute. Danny woke up to Kelly's phone vibrating.

"Hello, this is Kelly's lover, Danny," Danny joked into the phone. He knew that it was her boyfriend calling. Kelly woke up with a start. She stood up.

"Give me back my phone," Kelly told him. Danny was standing by now.

"No, I don't think I will," Danny held the phone just out of her reach. Kelly made her hand into a fist.

"Either you give me my phone back or I will punch you in the face," Kelly threatened. Danny still had her phone. Mac was walking back to his office when he saw Danny holding a phone away from Kelly. She looked like she was about to punch him.

"I don't think so," Danny taunted. Kelly threw a punch. He caught her fist and started laughing. She flipped him onto his back. Kelly was laughing when she took her phone.

"Shawn, are you still there?" she asked. Once Kelly got a reply, she walked out of the office. Mac walked in. Kelly came back a couple of minutes later.

"Boyfriend?" Mac asked her.

"Yeah, tonight, well, actually six hours ago was our anniversary dinner. It doesn't matter. Anything new?" Kelly asked trying to desperately change the subject.

"No," Mac said. The three CSI's started to look at the file again.

"Mac, this is suicidal. Staying up like this. I can't take it anymore," Danny yawned.

"Fine, leave if you want," Mac said.

"Yeah, I hope you actually have your date. I think Lindsay is waiting," Kelly said smugly. Danny gave her a look.

"How about we go eat somewhere then come back?" Mac asked.

"At two thirty in the morning?" Danny looked at his watch.

"Mac's paying," Kelly waved a wallet.

"Where did you get that?" Mac stopped looking for his wallet.

"Nowhere," Kelly said evasively. She tossed his wallet back to him.

"We have to talk about this pick pocketing thing," Mac told her.

"I call it borrowing, and it's not like I actually take money," Kelly shrugged. The three CSI's left the lab to eat. It was a bar that served food.

"Well, this could be worse," Kelly said finally.

"What?" Danny and Mac asked.

"I'm talking about the Xavier and West Virginia game. I hope you didn't have West Virginia winning, Danny," Kelly told him. Danny sighed and handed her a ten dollar bill. Kelly smiled smugly.

"You realize that it's just a game," Mac said.

"You only say that because I have the better bracket," Kelly replied. She was still smiling, but she saw something that made her stand up and storm over to the bar.

"Isn't that her boyfriend?" Mac asked Danny.

"Yeah. He's playing tonsil hockey with that chick," Danny said. Mac paid so they could get out of there and give Kelly her privacy. They returned to the lab. An hour later around four thirty, Kelly came back to the lab.

"You okay?" Danny asked.

"I'm fine," Kelly said rather angrily.

"Okay, let's do a reconstruction of this crime," Mac left his office. The three CSI's went to Reconstruction.

"Kelly, hold the gun in your right hand," Mac told her. She held the blank in her left.

"What's wrong? You're right handed," Danny said. Kelly carefully held the gun in her right hand.

"Hold it tightly, like a death grip," Mac said. Kelly didn't move her hand.

"What's wrong?" Danny asked. Her hand was fine when she flipped him.

"I'm fine," she tried to hold the gun tight. Kelly finally just switched hands.

"Kelly, your right arm, please," Mac said kindly. Kelly didn't move her hand. Mac tried to grab her wrist, but she hit him with the butt of the pistol.

"I said I was fine," Kelly was adamant.

"Fine, then hold the gun in your right hand," Mac said. He knew she couldn't. Kelly surprised him. She didn't even let a gasp of air out as she squeezed the gun with her right hand.

"Okay, so the murderer hit the gun out of her hand," Danny demonstrated it. Kelly let out a gasp of pain. She clutched her wrist. Mac took the chance and grabbed her right arm. Kelly tried to struggle, but Mac had a tight grip. He pushed down the sleeve of her lab coat. Her wrist was black and blue. It had obviously been broken.

"What did he do to you?" Mac asked.

"Nothing," Kelly pushed her sleeve back up. She picked up the gun.

"So, she picks up the gun, the guy overpowers her, and he kills her with the gun," Kelly tried to change the subject.

"Kelly, you are going to a doctor. Your wrist is broken," Mac told her.

"I'm fine," she insisted. Mac called Hawkes. He woke up and walked over to Reconstruction.

"Hawkes, can you please take her to a doctor?" Mac asked him. Hawkes nodded.

"Can I look at it?" Hawkes asked. After a look from Mac, Kelly showed it to him. It was very swollen. He drove her to an orthopedic doctor.

"You have a fracture," the orthopedic told her. He wrapped it up. She had to come back in a couple of days to get a cast.

"Okay, it was a fracture. It's not a big deal," Kelly told the CSI's once she got back to the lab. Everyone was up now.

"We need to know what happened," Stella told her.

"I tripped," Kelly lied.

"No, someone twisted it. I saw the X-Rays," Hawkes said. Kelly gave him a look.

"If I had a cast right now," Kelly threatened.

"You have to file assault charges," Mac said.

"It doesn't matter. I just want to be done with him," Kelly said.

"Just tell us what happened," Stella said.

That was six months prior

The CSI's were sitting in the break room enjoying a light case load. They each had a cup of coffee except Stella. She had tea.

"Got to love this," Kelly said.

"What?" Hawkes asked.

"A light case load, the sun is shining, and well Central Park was beautiful this morning," Kelly replied.

"Always the optimist, Kelly," Danny told her.

"Yes, I do enjoy the bright side of life," Kelly said.

"Yeah, I guess it is a good day," Mac stated sipping his coffee.

"Oh, I forgot. Danny, you owe me one hundred dollars for my bracket winning. Mac, you owe me seventy five dollars for me winning," Kelly gleamed. The two CSI's got the money out of their wallets and handed it to her.

"Now I know why you are happy," Hawkes said. Kelly laughed. She put the money in her money purse.

"Yes, there is a reason why Mac banned the March Madness brackets, and it's because I dominated," Kelly told him.

"Kelly, get your kit. We have a scene," Mac told her. Kelly went to her locker. Hawkes went to get something from his.

"Kelly, I was wondering if you would," Hawkes began.

"Come on, we have to get to the scene," Mac interrupted. Kelly got her kit and gave Hawkes a half smile.

After notes: Remind you of someone? Ross always seemed to get interrupted when he would ask Rachel to go out or something.
