Hii guys! Although I'm still working on my CSI Miami story 'Conspiracy' (I didn't stop, I just lack inspiration atm) I suddenly got inspired and developed a whole idea for a CSI NY fanfic! I couldn't resist the urge to start this fic before I finish my other fic bc I got my so called "NY/Miami-periods". So don't worry, I'll continue my other story eventually.

I hope you guys like this idea! Let me know what you think :D

Also, I'm a Smacked person so you'll probably see some Smacked in here.

Summary: (Set in 2018, 5 years after the shows ending, 8 years after Stella left) When a body shows up in NY, the team soon realizes their case is connected to a murder case in New Orleans. After 8 years of being apart, Mac and Stella finally reunite, but they have no idea of the danger they're about to be in.

(Most of the team is here!)

(T-rating just to be safe)

'Don, what have we got?' Mac asked him while he and Hawkes left their car. 'Unknown female, approximately between the age of 30 and 40. No obvious COD, I guess we have to wait out the autopsy for that,' Flack replied. Hawkes got his kit out of the car and walked towards the victim to take a closer look. While he kneeled down next to her body he put on his gloves and carefully started to examine her.

'Who called it in?' Mac asked.

'A woman called Stephanie Greene, she said she was busy putting the trash outside when she saw the body,' Flack replied while looking further into the alley where the unknown female was found dead. 'Officer Richards took her to the station to get her statement.'

'Any witnesses?'

Flack sighed. 'None so far... There's not much to go on, so-' Before the tall detective could finish his sentence, Hawkes interrupted him.

'Guys, you need to see this...' Both Mac and Flack's gaze immediately turned towards the somewhat confusedly looking detective while he held the victims body on her side showing her bare neck.

'What the...' Flack said quietly as they got closer.

The back of the womans neck showed two deep markings, carved straight into her flesh. Just when Hawkes took a second look at them to try to figure out what they could possibly mean, Mac hit the nail on the head. 'It looks like initials,' he said. He took a closer look and turned his head a little so he could read them.

'SF.'

'Are you sure?' Flack said.

'Yeah, it really says SF,' Hawkes nodded.

'Maybe it refers to the victim.'

'Or the killer.'

Jonathan Murray was a tall, somewhat chubby 50 year old with a golden heart. He had been the teams medical examiner since Sid Hammerback passed away three years ago. Even though they had all seen it coming as a result of his cancer, Sids death had been really hard on all of them. However, they had immediately liked the new ME and easily accepted him into their team.

'Hey Mac, believe me, you wanna hear this,' Jonathan said almost excitedly when Mac entered the morgue. He walked over to their Jane Doe and pulled down the cloth that covered her pale and unhealthily skinny body.

'Cause of death was starvation.' He said.

Mac walked closer and looked at Jonathan with a thoughtful expression. 'That explains why we couldn't find any obvious fatal injuries...' Mac mumbled, trying to make sense of the situation.

'What about the markings on her neck?'

'They were inflicted with a small, sharp blade, possibly a pocket knife. Pretty deep, but not fatal. She was still alive when she got them, probably a couple of days before she died, but they got infected so that's why they looked as bad as they did.' Jonathan sighed. 'Time of death was between 10 and 12pm yesterday, but some of her organs had shut down before that... Poor girl suffered for at least two weeks. Her body had used all the fat en muscle mass it could by then.'

'Thanks Jonathan,' Mac said, already making his way to the entrance, plunged in thought.

'You're welcome, Mac.'

'Nothing! Nothing at all!' Lindsay's frustrated voice sounded through the lab. It attracted Danny's attention and he went towards the sound to take a look.

'Honey, what's wrong?' He approached her carefully because he knew how she could explode whenever she was frustrated.

Lindsay sighed. 'There's not any lead on this case Danny, None!' She leaned backwards in her chair.

'No DNA, no witnesses, no ID, nothing!'

Danny grinned invisibly. He knew how frustrated it could be to get stuck with a case but he was well aware of how Lindsay could overreact sometimes.

'Hon, I'm sure you'll find a lead eventually.' He realized that it would probably be a bad idea to tell her to calm down because that would result in her getting even more frustrated.

Lindsay closed her eyes for a second. 'She is not in missing persons, there's no DNA evidence recovered, no one saw what happened and the markings aren't telling us anything.'

'Markings?'

'The victim had the letters SF carved in her neck, I have absolutely no clue what it refers to.'

Danny walked over to his wife and reassuringly massaged her shoulders.

'You'll figure it out Linds, you always do.'

'Thanks Danny,' she said and she gave him a quick kiss on his lips.

'What case are you currently working on?' She asked. 'Some guy got shot in his apartment. Neighbor confessed already. Jo's taking his statement at the moment.'

Lindsay sighed. 'Lucky you for catching the bad guy.' She looked up again.

'Is Adam currently working on a case? I could use his help.'

'I think it's his day off, Linds.'

'Damn it!'

A couple of hours later Lindsay quickly made her way towards Mac's office and without knocking she stumbled through the doorway. 'I did it Mac! I found a lead!' She exclaimed before Mac even had the time to look up.

'What did you find?' He asked, slightly annoyed that she just stumbled in but his dedicated CSI's excitement also making him smile a little.

'I found another case just like this one, 45 year old woman found in an alley just two weeks ago. Same MO, different markings.'

'Where is this other case?'

Lindsay's eyes lighted up and the corners of her mouth slightly curled upwards.

'It's in New Orleans and the lead CSI on the case is Stella Bonasera.'

So what do you think? This was a little bit of an introduction with most of the team having their moment. The real fun is just about to begin. :)
