Danny, Lindsay, and Their Baby
Serial Killer
Disclaimer: I don't own CSI NY (no matter how much I wish I did)
AT THE LAB:
It seemed like a normal day in New York, but for the NYPD it was far from normal. It was a completely quiet day and they had absolutely no homicides to solve. Some people would think that the detectives would be thankful for that, but really they were all quite bored. It's not that they liked it when someone had been murdered, but right now they were all sitting around doing nothing.
"So, Messer, you wanna go to a game or something?" Detective Don Flack asked his friend and colleague, Detective Danny Messer.
"You aren't honestly suggesting we go and attempt to buy tickets to a game the day of the game are you Flack?" Danny asked, looking over at Flack with his eyebrows raised slightly, "Besides, I wanted to talk to you about something."
Just as the words were out of his mouth Stella Bonasera walked in the door.
"Sorry, am I interrupting something here?" she asked them.
"Nope, I need to talk to you too, so this works out really well," Danny told her.
"Uh oh, I don't like the sound of this. Danny needing to talk to both of us, what did you blow up Messer?" Flack asked, smirking at him.
"Nothing you wise ass, I wanna talk to both of you about Lindsay," Danny had grown suddenly serious as he said this so Flack and Stella knew he wasn't kidding around. Stella sat down next to Flack and looked at Danny with concern in her face.
"Is everything ok with you guys?" she asked him, worried that the best couple in the lab were falling apart.
"Yeah, yeah, everything's fine. But… I was thinking of maybe proposing to her, and, I wanted to know what you two thought of that."
"Danny that's great! When were you going to do this?" Stella asked.
"Well, I'm taking her to dinner tonight at The Four Seasons, so, I was thinking of doing it after that. She had said she liked walks so..." he trailed off looking at the other two who were both smiling.
"I'm gonna assume you have a ring for her then," Flack said.
"No duh, Mac's got it in his office for me." Flack and Stella were still smiling at him. Danny was going to propose! This was a big step for him; before Lindsay had moved to New York Danny had been determined to never get married.
"Hey!" The three of them looked out in the hall and saw Mac standing there.
"I know what you three are talking about," he said smiling, "But we've got a case and I need the three of you at the scene now." Danny, Stella, and Flack stood up and went out to Mac in the hall.
"Lindsay's already up there with Adam and Hawkes, and all the other divisions have got cases so the four of us are in one vehicle." The others looked at Mac like he was crazy, but didn't say anything. They all got their kits and walked out to the car.
AT THE CRIME SCENE:
"So, Hawkes, what have we got?" Adam asked him as he and Lindsay stood waiting for Hawkes to finish and tell them the COD.
"Female with stab wounds to her abdomen, she bled out," he answered, Lindsay looked at her; she was a pretty girl with short brown hair that fell just above her shoulders. Late teens to early twenties. Too young to die.
"We got an ID?" She asked him.
"Her name's Lexi Madison, she's 21, from Chicago, probably either here on business or vacation, not betting on this I'm guessing. Her clothes are off; I'm thinking we've got a sex crime here too, not just a homicide." Hawkes said and Lindsay looked at the vic sadly
remembering what had happened to her friends back in Bozeman. She was brought back to the present by Adam asking her if she was alright.
"Yeah, I'm fine," they were both looking at her, "Really you guys, I'm fine." They didn't press the matter any further. The three of them started to process the scene when Mac, Danny, Stella, and Flack arrived.
"Couldn't get another car?" Adam asked laughing at the sight of Danny and Flack getting out of the back.
"No, now shut up and get back to work," Flack said as they walked over, smacking Adam on the head as he went by. The others laughed and went to work. After about an hour of processing the scene Mac got a call. ring ring ring
"Taylor" Mac listened as the person on the other end of the line spoke, "Alright, yeah someone will be there right away." He hung up his phone and turned to the others.
"We've got another crime scene to investigate," he said to them, "Danny, Lindsay, you two are with me." Danny and Lindsay got up and followed Mac over to the car. Mac got in the drivers side and Lindsay opened the passenger's side door.
"How come I have to sit in the back again?" Danny asked her as she climbed in the front.
"Because you didn't open the door before I did," she told him smirking.
"Oh, fine, I see how it is then," he said as he shut the door. The others all laughed at the bickering and Hawkes called out a 'good luck' to Mac as they drove off.
AT NEW CRIME SCENE:
Mac, Lindsay, and Danny arrived at their new crime scene about twenty minutes later. They grabbed their kits and headed over to where the officers were standing waiting for them.
"What have we got?" Mac asked them.
"Vic is female, 23, shoulder length brownish hair, name is Lily Manning. She's got stab wounds to her abdomen and it looks like a sex crime was committed here too." The officer told them. Lindsay looked at Danny and Mac and knew that their shocked expressions must have reflected on her face as well.
"This is exactly like our first vic, everything is the same. You think this is some sort of serial killer?" she whispered the last bit to make sure no one but Danny and Mac could hear her.
"I dunno Montana, but it's starting to look that way, isn't it?" ring ring ring
"Messer," he paused listening, "You're kidding right, that sounds like our current and first vic. Yeah I agree with you Flack, alright, yeah we'll see you guys back at the lab." He hung up his phone and looked at the other two.
"Apparently not long after we left, Flack and Stella were called to another scene. Vic was female with shoulder length brownish hair, she was 24 and her name was Lyla Millegan. Flack said that it also looked like a sex crime. I've got to agree with Montana on this one Mac, I think we've got a serial."
"It would appear so. Alright, let's process the scene and get back to the lab." Mac told them. They processed for almost two hours and finally decided to head back to the lab. When they got there Flack, Stella, Adam, and Hawkes were talking about their cases. The other three walked in and sat down listening to what Stella was saying.
"...definitely serial, three vics in one day, all with the same description." She looked at Mac, Danny, and Lindsay, Mac and Lindsay looked disgusted. Danny on the other hand looked worried.
"Something bothering you Danny? Besides this case?" Stella asked him.
"All three of these vics have shoulder length brownish hair, are in their early twenties, and are female," He said looking at them.
"Thanks Danno, but we all already know that." Flack told him looking a little confused as to why Danny would point out the obvious.
"No, not just that, all three vics have the initials L.M." He looked over at Lindsay whose face had gone paler.
"Oh my god, Lindsay, you don't think he'll go after her do you Mac?" Stella asked looking over at him.
"I dunno, but until we catch this guy, I don't want you going anywhere by yourself, you understand Lindsay?" Mac told her knowing full well Danny wouldn't let her out of his sight unless he had to.
"Yeah Mac, I got it."
"Good, well, c'mon people, sitting around doing nothing isn't gonna catch this guy." They all got up to go and examine the things they'd found at the crime scene. Danny stopped Lindsay from going and turned her around to face him. He could see that she was scared.
"Montana, I'm not gonna let anything happen to you, alright, I promise." he looked at her with that sparkle in his eye and she knew he meant it. She was safe as long as she was with Danny. Lindsay nodded her head and they left to go get to work.
So, there's the first chapter and I hope you guys liked it! I had posted this story before, but I wrote it a few years ago and I recently went back and edited it.
Let me know what you think!
