CSI: NY fic: Black Monday (Mac/Stella)

This amuses me far too much.

You people made me write this. Mac/Stella, Snafu-verse, post Omerta, somewhere around the beginning/middle of the first story of the Mac trilogy, Black Monday. (The other two will be Habeus Corpus and Bloody Sunday.) Background: Mac is invited to speak at a forensics conference in Chicago. Stella makes him go despite his protests, and goes with him. He and she end up going out to dinner at a nice restaurant, and they run into The Parents. Not porn yet, but it will be.

( This isn't my Mac. )

You know what's hard to write? Car chases. Car chases are hard to write, and it's not just because I've never driven a car. Screenwriters have it easy, they just write, "Insert car chase here" and the choreographers take care of everything else. But actually writing them, especially when you don't know the area they're taking place in? Hard.

"Now, the NYPD has yet to release a statement regarding this copnapping, but we'll continue to keep you updated. Now, back to your program."
