New Kid on the Block

Chapter 1: First Sight

Zoey Taylor walked into the NYPD Crime Lab and didn't know quite what to expect. Following her was the Head of the Crime Lab. Detective Mac Taylor. Who incidentally turned out to be her father. As he came up behind her, he squeezed her right shoulder and asked a simple question which every father asks their daughter on their first day of work:

"You ready, Kiddo?"

"Please, Dad how old am I? 5? Honestly, I don't need my old man looking out for me, quite as much as I used to!"

"Yeah well I know how much you have been through this past yeah that's all…"

Zoey mentally winced at that comment. She knew all too well how much she had been through. Not only losing Dan but also their baby… Zoey shook her head to clear away the thoughts. She didn't want to mess up her first day by thinking about what had happened in the past.

"So where do I start?" Zoey asked her father, with a small smile on her face.

"Well how 'bout you introduce your self in briefing and we'll go from there?"

"Sounds great(!)" Zoey was crying at the thought of public speaking, even if it was to only a small team of CSI's.

As Zoey sat in the briefing room she realized that not only did she have an amazing amount of respect for her father but also so did so many other people.

"Now, Guy's we have a new starter today. I'm gonna let her introduce herself… Be nice everyone. Zoey, do you want to start by telling everybody your name?" Zoey could she the small smile playing on her Dad's mouth and she really wanted to hit him because she knew, he knew how much, she didn't want to do this.

As Zoey walked up towards the front she instantly regretted choosing to wear the 5' stiletto heels as she almost fell over 'Great choice in footwear Zo, really(!)'

"Hi, everyone, I'm Detective Zoey Taylor; I will be the new 3rd Grade CSI. I have just recently transferred back to New York, as for the past 3 years I have been working in Las Vegas, for LVDP. I hope that you all can accept me here at the NYPD." 'Well played Zoey, just make them hate you on you first day, why don't you!'

Zoey was interrupted by her father's authoritive voice…

"Any questions?" Mac Taylor asked just as several hands were raised into the air

"Yes, Adam?" He answered one of the hands. I couldn't help but analyse his face… Young, cute, blue eyed, brown messy hair. The younger brother kind of face.

"Sorry Mac, I couldn't help noticing the last name. Related?" Adam asked.

"Yes in fact we are Adam, Zoey here is my daughter. Clair IS her mother before any of you ask! However, I don't want the fact that Zoey is my daughter to get in the way of how you all feel about her."

"Yeah, just so you know I won't go crying to my Dad if one of you pick's on me!" The whole room erupted with laughter 'Good Zoey, be funny they may like you for that!'

"Yeah but don't think that you have an opening, 'cause I'm not below kicking people's asses for bullying her!" My dad replied and everyone went quiet instantly. 'Great Dad, real great(!)'

My first day went amazing. I was paired up with a fellow 3rd Grader called Lindsay Messer. She introduced me to the rest of the team…

Detective Danny Messer (also Lindsay's husband)

Detective Jo Danville (Ex FBI)

Detective Dr Sheldon Hawkes (Ex ME)

Dr Sid Hammerback (Curent ME)

Adam Ross (Lab Technician)

And the rest of the day was spent with Lindsay teaching me how to correctly use the machines. She showed me to my office which I found to my great pleasure that I shared with her and Jo.

I sat at my new desk looking over everything. 'Maybe I should get a plant to make it more me…' Then I made the phone call I had been most looking forward to all day.

"Hello?" The female voice on the other end answered after three rings.

"Hey, Stell. I've started today and you were right everybody's been amazing!" I replied to my second mother, Stella Bonasera, that I had in life. After my Mom died she really did an amazing job of helping my Dad in bringing me up.

"That's great Zo, wish I could have been there for you're first day"

After about an hour chatting Stella had to get back to her own Lab.

"Speak to you soon Zo, love ya!"

"Love you too! Bye"

Just as I was emailing my friends from Las Vegas, some tall, dark, very handsome man walked into my office.

"Hey, you Zoey?"

"Yeah, I'm Zoey, who are you?" I asked partially confused.

"Oh, sorry, Detective Don Flack. Homicide Detective here at the NYPD." He held out his hand for me to shake it, I took it and my whole body started tingling.

"Nice too meet you Don."

"So you coming to Charlie's after shift?" He asked.

"Erm… I dunno. Maybe…" I replied.

"Well I might see you later, gotta go. Bye, nice to meet you!"

"Yeah you too!" I replied as I stared after his retreating form.

"So had a good first day?" My Dad asked in the car ride home.

"Yeah it's been good."

"You going out tonight?"

"Nah, I'm just gonna call it a night when I get in."

"Okay honey, no problem." I could see the smile on his lips. 'I guess he still thinks of me as his little girl…'
