Present Day-Mac's office
Mac is on his cell, speaking to Elissa.
"Do you want me to pick you up at 7, tonight?"
"Yeah.That would be nice, thanks."
"No problem, I'll see you then."
"Will do."
Jo walks in as Mac finishes his conversation with Elissa.
"Do you remember this case?" She says, as she places a ziploc bag of photographs on Mac's desk.
Mac looks at the photographs.
"Yep. I certainly remember this case." He says.
"New evidence came in from Henry's co-workers, suggesting that his behavior was suspicious,
one even saw him take the Krypton out of the lab."
"So we have closure on that."
Jo nods,then pauses.
"You seem distracted."
Mac stares at the her, blankly.
"Does this involve, a woman?" She asks.
Mac blushes.
"Oooo." She teases.
"Don't." Mac says, shaking his head.
Jo exits.
Flack walks in.
"And in breaking news, Jamie Sunderland's ass got dragged back to NYC." He says, mockingly.
"New evidence came in.I was informed." Mac responds, with a slight chuckle.
"Yes, and the State Attorney's office is pushin' for her to get at least 20."
"That's good. Case closed."
Elissa's Apartment- Night
Mac knocks on Elissa's door.
She answers the door, wearing a strapless black dress, with stilettos.
"I'll just get my bag." She tells him, before turning and walking back in.
Mac notices that she has a tattoo below her neck, which is the Greek flag.
She comes out,just seconds later.
"Are we ready?" She asks.
"Yep, by the way, nice tattoo." He compliments.
"I'm a proud Greek. My daughter also has one, too."
"I saw her half-sleeve."
Hours later, they come back from their date, and stop at her door.
"That was nice." Elissa says.
"Is another one in order?"Mac asks.
"Yes."
A man walks down the hall,and slowly passes by the pair, whom of which, are pressed against a door,
engaging in a very passionate kiss.
Monday morning-
Crime Lab
Mac walks into his office, clutching a copy of the Ledger.
He browses the pages, but skips those of little interest to him.
He comes across a section that piques his interest.
"Blindsided.Hmm." Mac says to himself.
He reads it.It says:
'This unconventionally beautiful Ex-Prosecutor who is currently, in a much higher-profile position, was engaging in a steamy, passionate kiss with a handsome NYPD Detective
, at the weekend, truth is, these two have only known each other for a year.'
"Dammit."Mac says, placing his head in his hands.
"Mac,the ladies' man?" A voice teases.
Mac looks up.
"Adam!"He snarls, gritting his teeth.
Alexis walks in, clutching her copy of the paper.
"This is awkward." Mac says, shaking his head.
Alexis takes a breath.
"All I can say on this matter, is that it's your personal business, Mac. That is all."
"So, you're not angry."
"No, even though I don't know you, I will still respect you in relation to anything,especially in regards to your personal business."
"Thank you,Alexis.I feel slightly reassured." Mac nods,still embarrassed.
Alexis and Adam exit the office.
Meanwhile, Flack enters the lab after being out in the field with Lindsay.
They are both walking along the corridor, when Hawkes comes up beside them.
"Did you guys see the blind item in The Ledger, this morning?" He asks.
"You mean the section called Blindsided." Lindsay tells him.
"Those pesky blind items.I usually don't read em' because Danny and I were part of one but, the writer didn't get his facts straight.
"You and Danny?" Lindsay asks,shocked.
"Don't worry ,Linds.This happened before you came along." Flack reassures her.
"What have you people been told about discussing others' personal matters at work?" A voice yells, in a jocular tone.
All three turn around to see that Jo is the one that yelled out.
She is walking towards them, smiling.
"I usually read blind items, I'm a sucker for those things." She tells them.
"But...Since I figured that this involves one of our team, maybe this isn't the right time to talk about it,instead-"
She almost continues, before being cut off by Flack who says "I just got a message from Mac.We're needed.A mummified corpse has been found in abandoned apartment on Lexington Avenue."
TBC.
