Sorry i haven't reviewed in awhile. It's cuz i got grounded and got my computer taken away from me. I really liked your story. It kept me on edge the entire time.

Great chapter. I'm glad things worked out.

Okay ending? This was EXCELLENT! I wish we could see something like this on the show because it shows Mac being vulnerable with Adam and opening up, I can't see ANYTHING wrong in that. I just wish that he'd allow the others to come to him and speak honestly with him. They've observed how he closes himself off and deals with his personal demons by himself and do the same. I wish to god it was different but...this is why I love fanfiction more than the show.

I get to see these moments and have the past brought up, like you did with Bedford and Dobson. Mac wasn't to blame, he wasn't. Just like he pointed out on how Adam wasn't responsible for Carson's decision in defrauding the anniversary. Adam was an outlet to blame.

Sad as I am that Kendall was fired, it wrapped the storyline up and explained why she wasn't seen from again. On the lighter side I did have chuckle at the sight of Adam's apartment and the couch, that was my favorite part. Mac is a composed guy so anything that throws him off a little or makes him smile, is good in my book. Bad of me to like seeing off balance but I can't help it. :) You did a great job with ALL of this and I hope that this isn't the last from you.

...I don't know if you read her but if you love Adam stories, fwuzzfwuzz is the person to go to! And again, I'm so sorry I was late with catching up with this. My nephew gave me the stomach flu!

The whole part with Adam and Mac...you made me cry with such sadness and a little bit of laughter, especially at the bit where he was complimenting one officer for his mad Call Of Duty skills. :) But it was mostly sadness because how could Adam have known what reporting the misuse could do? He couldn't have known and while I want to tell him not to beat himself up, I know that he will because that is what a good person does. Good intentions pave the way to hell, a very crappy saying but I think it fits here. Yeah he isn't going to come out of this unscathed but at heart Adam wasn't to blame for Carson's loss, no one is at fault because of the way nature decided to turn his wife's body against her.

Mac is quite funny in here, and I adore seeing it. Being in the military does strengthen and sharpen sarcasm and being able to laugh in times when you need it. I also ADORE how you brought up Charge Of This Post, but really? Don's girlfriend uses the photo of him unconscious to keep herself from eating? Sheesh! I wonder if this is Devon he's talking about.

As for your Author's Note, yeah I get it. You wanted to warn us that another chapter is going to finish this off but you were excited on how far this has come. :)

"He'd never done anything to hurt anyone. Aside from some really horrible jokes, Adam was an innocent as they came."

These are my favorite lines:

"You'd think if he wanted to, he would have already." Flack said before Adam could answer.

Danny was shaking his head. "Not when he's been in surgery. Wright didn't have the chance."

Flack turned and glared at his passenger, almost forgetting to drive. "You left out the part where he was in surgery, Danny."

He shifted uncomfortably. "Did I? That's what I meant by his condition taking a turn."

"They're not synonymous. I swear, I'm taking you off my emergency contacts. My family isn't even gonna know I was in the hospital until the funeral."

This was action packed but also filled with great humor between the three of them, I know that this is their way of showing the love but it really made me smile to read this. Mac sleeping, say it isn't so! LOL! Sorry about that, but my god, I love that Mac is getting the rest he needs. Taking care of himself shouldn't be such a struggle, he has a great team who can take care of him when HE needs the down time. :) I still have a bad feeling that you are about to pull something more on us but I'll have to see the next chapters!

But knowing Adam is safe and relatively unharmed is a relief to know. :)

I know its a little late to threaten you or beg, but please say you haven't joined the rest of the sadistic writers on here who love to torture us for the fun of it. The gunshot leans toward the yes category, LOL!

I also want to praise you for not taking the easy route in making Sinclair into a bad guy, thank you. He may be hardheaded and tough at his job, like Mac but all he wants is the best for the NYPD and it shows here. Saying that I LOVE the line 'hell hath no fury' and having it associated with Stella! One of the reasons I love her is that she is passionate about her job, and the second is the reference toward her Greek heritage. I only noticed it on my second rereading of this chapter. In a cage match, I'd bet on Stella...she fights dirty, LOL!

As for reassuring each other that Adam is okay, it was a touching brotherly moment and he is their little brother. I hope that he does know how much the appreciate and love him for all that he does. :) Things are starting to come together for me on Carson, he was trying to experiment after hours on how to cure her, wasn't he? Or was it something deeper?

You took my breath away, I nearly had a cat when Scott went into Mac's room! Thank god for security, huh! Whew! This line is the best:

"With a quick look at the door, Adam struggled to roll onto his knees. His back stretched and he could feel the fragile fibers holding him together slowly and agonizingly tearing through his flesh. He screwed his eyes shut, he didn't have time to be in pain- Mac didn't have time."

If Adam still doesn't think of himself as a hero after this, may I please give him a noogie? If Don won't comment on how an identity thief was tracked using his own purchases, I will. SO freaking ironic that I hope that Don gets a good ending interview on this, LOL! I fear for Adam so much, this guy Carson sounds like he is beyond reality with what's going on. I feel for Don and the team though, a missing member of the team and now an added player. One step forward and two steps backward it seems.

I don't know what is going on with any of the CSI NY sites, I can't even log into the forums. *shrugs*

*afrozenheart412 runs up and gasping* I'm SO SORRY I'm late!

Adam is more James Bond than he knows, Bond would use anything like Adam did with 'Muscles' to create a distraction. LOVE the way Jerry is described in here, so hilarious! But he's doing great in here, he may not be a field person but I'm on board with how smart this is!

To me, at the end where the bad guy is holding Adam, it sounds like he is as much of a victim as Adam is. Is he being blackmailed into doing this?

I Really Like this Story It's a Great to see the Way Adam looks up to Mac think you should do more Adam/Mac stories like something like Adam's Childhood/Past

Really liked this story.

Oh the last chapter already! Well it was a good ending. Die hard was very appropriate. I too loved the descriptions and the Mac/Adam interaction. Great job!

Aw the ending is perfect! I love that they can sit and watch the movie together, but I can imagine that the next time Adam sees Mac in the lab, he's still going to be a bit afraid of him.

The way you described the apartment was brilliant, and it was all just so well written!

I thought it was a perfect ending and I could so see Mac talking to Adam like that. Also, thanks for the shout out, I appreciate it! Look forward to reading what you have coming next.

That was a great and emotional ending to a great story ;) Thank you for sharing and...you better start writing another one soon.

A great ending to a great story - well done! I hope you're already working on your next story! ;)
