Trouble [everyone]

Thomas saw Mac storm out of the break room, having heard him yell at Haylen, he walked down to the room, then went in, seeing Haylen at the table, he walked over to her, "Hey lass" he said to her

I looked up at Thomas and am actually happy to see him. I try a small smile.
"Hey." I said quietly.

Thomas watched Haylen as she looked at him, seeing that she was upset, "Want to tell me what happened?" he asked

I think for a bit and then nod while taking a deep breath.
"Overlooked evidence in a murder case and arrested someone who is probably innocent." I say quietly, almost ashamed that happened to me. It never happened before.

Thomas sighed, then sat next to her, not sure of what to say at this moment after Haylen told him what she did

"I know... Mac had every right to be mad at me. It's my fault and it shouldn't have happened...." I sighed, still fighting my tears.

Thomas looked Haylen, "Aye he does, but everyone else will be too Haylen." he said to her, he was upset as well, but he kept it to himself

"Sorry, but I somehow don't believe that I overlooked that fingerprint... you know I always at least double check the evidence and mostly I let someone else check it, too. I can't believe this is happening..." I said quietly. I knew that he probably was just as upset and everyone else would be, too. If I could check the original file copy? I thought somehow getting a nervous feeling in my stomach...

Thomas listened to Haylen, then sighed again, "Haylen, there really is nothing you can do at the moment." he said to her

"Oh yeah... I sit this one out, with everyone being pissed at me and me feeling bad, because of it? I'm lucky that I didn't loose my job! And I know that I didn't overlook anything, but they wouldn't even let me take a look at it again. That's not fair!" I said now a little more upset. Maybe there was nothing I could do, but why wouldn't they even prove to me that I missed anything? I didn't even get a chance to look at that fingerprint they found.

Thomas got up from the table and walked out, he could tell that Haylen needed time alone and that his being around her was only making it worse, he walked back to his office and sat down at the desk

"Sorry... didn't mean to yell at you." I said before he left the room.
I was upset okay, but it wasn't his fault. Damn it, Haylen. you should go and talk to Mac... or whatever.
This couldn't be true... I was working carefully, how could I overlook something so important? I really needed to talk to Mac again, so I got up, but then was afraid to even walk out of the room.

A few minutes after I had my convo with Haylen I got a call from Sinclair, telling me that the attorny wanted Haylen Becall and me, personally working on that case she was accused of missing evidence. Honestly I didn't really believe that she missed anything, but the lawyer said that and he was sending the original case files back to us. I walk back to the break room, hoping to meet Haylen there and I did, but she upset, that much I could see and I wasn't really feeling good, having yelled at her just a few minutes ago.
"Haylen?" I said a little more friendly and calmly, causing her to look up at me and I could tell she was hiding tears.

back in his office, Thomas went over the reports and notes that were on his desk, he had a pre trial hearing coming up and didn't want to be caught off guard by anything

I looked up at Mac and quickly whiped a few tears away. I didn't want him to see that I was crying. First I was upset with him, for something he had every right to be pissed at me and then I yelled at Tom, though he meant it good and was right.
"Mac." I said quietly, not daring to hold eyecontact with him.
"I'm sorry for yelling at you earlier. I just got the original case files and evidence and we're investigating that case together." he told me and I looked back up at him.
"Honestly Mac, I don't believe I overlooked any evidence. You know that I always work cleanly."
"We'll check that. C'mon." he said and then left the breakroom. Maybe we'll find out what happened and clear my name of that? And our way lead past Thomas' office...

Thomas was on the phone with the DA's office at this time, in the back of his mind, he hoped that Haylen was okay, he didn't know that her and Mac were on the case again

Back in the lab I got to work with Haylen, letting her check the evidence, but it was the murder weapon that got my interest and it was then that I noticed something was wrong.
Haylen got through the other evidence and I checked the photos she made from the knife in my hands.

Thomas soon finished his call, then went back to check on Haylen, surprised to see she was gone from the break room, he turned back and walked to the lab, soon seeing her and Mac working together, he smiled a bit, then turned and walked off

I noticed that Thomas had been looking into the lab and I add the note to my list in my mind that I want to go and see him later, wanting to apologize that I basically yelled at him earlier. But right now my attention was at Mac. He was studying the knife the victim Laura Mitchel was killed with.
"Found something?" I asked curiously as I walk over to him.
"Well, to me it seems as if you've done your job as good and clean as always, Haylen. I can't see a single fingerprint that you missed, even on the blade is nothing but the victim's blood, though here, at the end of the handle is one fingerprint, but I wonder how it got there." he told me.
"Can we see which finger caused the print? Maybe it was from a thumb?"
"It is. But it seems that this fingerprint got onto the knife after you examined it."
"So it was planted?"
"Seemingly. Let's see who this fingerprint belongs to." he said and walked over to the computer to find the person the thumbprint belonged to.

Haylen and I waited for the results and what I saw on the screen made me angry. This was a damn plan only made to cause trouble for my co-worker.
"This print belongs to the suspect's lawyer, Karl Mayer. Do you know him?" I asked Haylen.
"He was doing the same kind of training I did... I remember him saying that he applied to work in your lab, because he was tired of being a lawyer." she answered.
Revenge, because Haylen got the job? I thought, as someone walked into the room.
"Revenge?"

Thomas was standing there, "Mac, we have a problem: this was left for Haylen at the front desk and it is not a social invitation." he said

I look at Thomas and frown.
"What is it?" Haylen and I asked at the same time.
I had the feeling that this was getting a lot worse.

Thomas handed the paper to Mac and let him look it over

I didn't know what kind of paper Thomas handed to Mac so I just looked at both of them.
"Mac? Thomas? What is it?" I asked, not knowing what was going on.
