My first CSI:NY fanfic, and hopefully not the last. I created this story for some Adam whumpage and if i am lucky more people will write some more - as it is my favourite. *evil*laugh*

Adam was asleep in his lab, at his desk, it had been a normal week, but for him that meant running around not always sleeping some days.

"Hey. Adam. Adam" Mac said tapping Adam's shoulder.

"I'm awake" Adam said, his head bolting up from the desk with a piece of paper stuck to his face.

"Sorry boss" he continued removing the paper from his face.

"Adam, go home, get some sleep"

"I'm fine, the results aren't in yet"

"Adam, go home, you can finish it in the morning, otherwise I have to give you tomorrow off"

"Yes boss" Adam said finally conceding in defeat, he was beat, and his body knew it.

Mac also knew it, so once he talked Adam into going home he went back to his office to pick up his bag and take some of his own advice.

Adam put all the paper on his desk into a neat pile in his hands then he tapped it on the desk three times on each side then put it down. He turned around in his chair and got up picking up his little rucksack flinging it over his shoulder.

He walked over to the elevator. He pressed the button to go down. The elevator opened straight away. He stepped inside and pressed for the ground floor. The doors shut and it was just Adam in the elevator, just how he liked it.

He walked over to his car. He put his bag in the trunk. As soon as he closed it he was stabbed in the side with some kind of injection. As soon as it was in his skin the plunger was pushed so he did not have the time to pull it out before it was inside him then the attacker let go

"What the" was all Adam got out before he noticed the syringe sticking out of his side. He pulled it out and dumped it on the floor. The assailant then tried to fight Adam for his car keys. Adam however, after the events from his past, had been taking self-defence classes, plus he had picked up a few tips from his friends.

He was fairing quite well since this guy seemed a lot bigger and heavier than Adam. Adam threw his keys far away and quickly attempted to hold this guy to the floor. The man had then in retaliation shuffled himself so that Adam was in front of him, his back facing him, and put him in a head lock and began cutting off the air supply from Adam's lungs, to add to it he also pulled a knife and plunged it into the very same place where he had put the hypodermic, Adam did not notice as he was slowly being suffocated which was making him a little numb and he was more occupied with getting out of this man's vice like grip.

Adam flailed for a few seconds, causing the man to grip him tighter and pull the knife back out...

Will anyone come to Adam's rescue???

My very first chapter for this story. Hope you enjoyed, review lots and no flamers please, but any errors found I will happily fix. It may be a short chapter but I have more ready to go.

There may be some excessive details when it is from Adam's POV and that is because i believe the character to have an organised mind and slightly OCDish.
