Habeus Corpus and Bloody Friday

For those that don't remember, Habeus Corpus is the story after Omerta, and Bloody Friday is the one after that. You know how Mac's been sort of semi-stable through Omerta? Well, Habeus Corpus and Bloody Friday are going to send him spiraling downward until he's in a very bad place, where he's walking a knife edge between going too far and not going far enough, and where Bad Things are happening all around the lab. You know how Danny lost his shit in "Crime and Misdemeanor" over the silver guy? Well, that's sort of what happens to Mac in Habeus Corpus. Except worse. And now that Omerta's winding down, a tiny bit of promo for Habeus Corpus:

The crime scene's secure. The perp's in custody. The only thing they're missing...is the body.

And because people were asking, the Mac/Stella from Bloody Friday, which isn't actually M/S yet, but I have to warn you: BIG FREAKING SPOILERS FOR BLOODY FRIDAY!

NO, REALLY, THEY'RE HUGE.

YOU PROBABLY WANT TO TURN BACK NOW.

Still here? Well, on that hand...

Background: It's November/December, they're in the skyscraper lab, Hawkes and Lindsay Monroe are working as CSIs, e.g. everything went off as we've been expecting it to for the new season, only a little behind schedule.

Oh. And nothing ends well in this universe.

Omerta 26

Aw, there's a hurricane named after me now. I'm so proud. Go forth, Hurricane Katrina, and do lots and lots of damage!

...or not.

Omerta 26, 3500 words - a lot, I know - we learn a few things, and then Things Start To Happen.
