I do not own the characters. Just the story.
This was done in 2007 on TalkCSI. I've corrected it and brought it here.
.................................................................
What happens when Danny is shot during a robbery by a gang members son seeking revenge? Leaving Mac and the team in danger as they find themselves in an explosion. With most of the team down, Stella has no choice but to call Horatio and his team to help solve the crime. When they arrive, Horatio has the shock of his life waiting for him and his team.
.................................................................
Tuesday April 21st 2007
Danny had finished his shift and was heading home when he came across a robbery in progress. Picking up his cell phone he called for back up.
"Dispatch... this is detective Messer. There is a robbery in progress at the Bank of New York, I'm requesting back-up. Two suspects on scene, both male, Hyspanic, 20 to 22yrs of age."
"10-4. All units, robbery in progress at the Bank of New York. Officer already on scene requesting back-up."
Not waiting for back up, Danny entered the bank.
"Police... freeze!"
Shots could be heard as the other officers arrived on scene. Entering the bank they seen both robbers with their hands in the air, while Danny was laying in a pool of blood.
"Hey... Hey... We didn't shoot that officer. I swear he was shot by someone else who took off out the side door. I'm telling you man, we didn't do it." said the suspect.
When team arrived on site Mac knelt down beside Danny.
"Danny... Danny... can you here me? It's Mac."
Bending closer Mac heard a gurgle followed by a spatter of blood.
"Where the hell are the Medics," yelled Mac.
...........................
When the Medics arrived on scene they assessed Danny's situation.
"It's not good, We need to transport him immediately." said the EMT.
Once Danny left the scene, Mac approached the two robbers.
"Did you shoot my CSI? And you better tell me the truth." yelled Mac.
"I swear man, we did not touch your officer. When he came into the bank he told us to freeze and we put our arms up. Then out of nowhere some guy fired two shots at your officer." said the suspect.
"What did he look like?" asked Mac.
"I don't know man? It happened so fast. One minute your officer was aiming at us and than he was on the ground." said the suspect.
"Take them, If I find out you are lying to me I'll make sure you both end up on death row, understand?" said Mac.
"Yeah man, I swear we are not lying." said the suspect.
Seeing Stella walk in, Mac asked...
"Any word on Danny?"
"Not yet Mac." said Stella.
Leaning close to his ear Stella whispered... "Try and focus hon, you need to calm down. I love you."
After Mac heard Stella's words he focused on the case. They had been married for 3yrs now and were pregnant with their second child. Their first daughter Claire was now one and quite beautiful with her dark chestnut hair and green doe eyes.
"Flack... you and Lindsay look for evidence and trace." said Mac. "Stella and I will talk with the witnesses, someone had to have seen something."
"You got it Mac." said Don.
Approaching the witnesses Mac and Stella informed everyone to relax.
"Okay... I want you all to relax and calm down. We are going to ask you all some questions. So please be patient, this is going to take a while." said Stella.
"I need you tell me what you seen Mrs." said Stella.
"I didn't see anything officer, I was to scared to notice." said the lady.
"What about you maam, what did you see?" asked Mac.
"Nothing. I wasn't watching." said the witness.
After talking with five of the ten witnesses, Mac and Stella realized that they were afraid too talk.
"Mac... What's going on?" asked Stella.
"I'm not sure love? I'm thinking these people seen more than they are letting on and it's our job to figure out what it is."
After Mac and Stella finished up, they headed over to the hospital too check on Danny.
.......................
"Det Taylor's... it's good to see you both. Though I wish it was under different circumstances." said the doctor.
Mac knew the doctor looking after Danny was the same one who took care of Stella 3yrs ago.
"Danny is in critical condition. He has a large hole in his chest from the bullet that went straight through and lodged into his spine. We have a specialist flying in to assess Danny's situation. He should be arriving shortly." said the doctor.
"Thank-you Doctor. We'd like to see him now." said Mac.
"Sure come with me." said the doctor.
Entering the room, Mac's memories of Stella came rushing back.
"Mac... What's the matter?" asked Stella.
(tears in his eyes) "Nothing Stella. I'm fine, love." said Mac as he bent down toward Danny.
"Danny... it's Mac, I want you to listen to me. You have to fight Danny, don't give up. You hear me? Don't give up."
Mac leaned over close to Danny's ear and whispered...
"I need you too live Danny, without you we would all be lost."
When Mac stood up he could see tears in Danny's eyes.
..................................
Meanwhile... back at NYPD...
Hawkes and Lindsay were watching the tapes from the bank.
"Sheldon... do you think we are going to find anything on tape? Wouldn't it be better to go back too the witnesses?"
"Lindsay... as right as you are, Mac asked us to watch the tape the through in case we missed something." said Sheldon.
"Sheldon I'm telling you, these people know more than they are saying. God... we are supposed to be helping Danny. If he dies...(crying).
"Lindsey come here. (holding each other) "I understand how emotional this is for you because of how you feel for Danny, but I need you to focus on the case in front of us." said Mac.
After Lindsay composed herself, her and Sheldon got back to work on the tapes.
...................................
Meanwhile back at the Hospital...
"Det Taylor, the specialist has arrived. He's assessing Danny now and will be with you shortly."said the nurse.
"Thank you, nurse." said Mac.
When Mac looked over at Stella she was sleeping.
"Sweetheart... wake up." whispered Mac.
"Mac... is it Danny?" asked Stella.
"No... I want you to go home and get some rest. You have to think of the baby and I'm sure Claire is missing us. One of us should be home for her." whispered Mac.
"Okay hon... I'll go home, but you have to call me if there are any changes." said Stella.
"I will love, I promise. Give my Claire Bear a big hug from her daddy." said Mac.
"I will. I love you." And with that said Stella gave Mac a passionate kiss and headed home to Claire.
..............................
When the specialist had completed his exam on Danny, he went to talk with Mac about what should be done.
"Det Taylor?" said the doctor.
"Yes? How is my CSI?" asked Mac.
"I'm Dr Francis and I'd just like to let you know that I've assessed your officer and I must tell you it's not good. From what I can see, the bullet has lodged itself between the fourth and fifth vertebra. If I remove the bullet, your officer could die and if I leave the bullet the chances are 60/40 that he'll be paralyzed from the waist down."
"Is Danny awake yet?" asked Mac.
"No not yet, but he's been heavily sedated to keep his muscles relaxed. The slightest movement could dislodge the bullet. I feel it's best to leave him sedated for now." said Dr Francis.
"I would really like to talk too my officer right now. So I'm going to ask you not to sedate him again until I have a chance to talk with him about what he wants to do." said Mac.
"Sure... then he should wake up shortly. But you must keep him still, understand?" said Dr Francis.
"I do and thank-you." said Mac.
"You're welcome, I wish I could do more." said .
.........................
Once the doctor left, Mac headed down to Danny's room. Opening the door, Mac noticed he was just waking up.
"Danny... don't move, stay down." said Mac.
As he got to Danny's side he held him down.
"Listen Danny... the bullet is lodged in your spine. If you move, you could dislodge it causing serious damage. Please don't move." said Mac.
"Mac... It hurts." said Danny.
"What hurts Danny?" asked Mac.
"My chest. I can't breathe in, hurts." he cried.
Mac hit the call button and the doctor ran into the room. The only thing Mac could think of was this was Stella all over again.
"Danny... what is it?" asked the doctor.
"My chest... hurts... to... breathe... in." cried Danny.
"Okay Danny... we are going to insert a small breathing tube through your nose and into your throat for a while to assist you in breathing, do you understand?" asked the doctor.
"Yes... hurts... so... bad." Danny cried.
"Now Danny, I need you to inhale deeply and hold your breath. I know it's going to hurt, but it's very important you don't move." said the doctor. "Just try and relax your throat.
With that said the doctor inserted the breathing tube and turned on the ventilator.
"Is that better Danny?" asked the doctor.
Danny shook his head yes.
"Danny..." said Mac. "The doctor said if he removes the bullet from your spine you could die and if you decide to leave the bullet it's a 60/40 chance you'll be paralyzed from the waist down." said Mac.
As Mac looked at Danny he was crying again.
"I'm sorry Danny." Mac leaned over Danny and touched his head to his as he said...
"I know Danny, I'm here. Just let it out. Just let it out." whispered Mac.
.......................................
After Mac posted two officers outside Danny's door, he headed home to see Stella and Claire. Walking into Claire's room she was sound asleep.
"Hello, my little Claire Bear. Daddy missed you tonight. I love you, sweetheart."
Giving her a kiss he left the room and got ready for bed. Upon entering his room, Stella was laying on top of the covers wrapped in her towel.
"Stella... I'm home sweetheart." whispered Mac.
Not getting a response, he removed her towel and started talking into her tummy to his baby boy.
"Hi little Mac, it's Daddy. I love you my boy. " whispered Mac.
As he kissed his son goodnight, he layed his head on Stella's tummy.
"Mac... I love you." whispered Stella.
"I love you too sweetheart." he whispered back.
"How's Danny?" Stella asked.
"Not to good. The specialist said if he has the surgery he could die, but if he doesn't have the bullet removed chances are 60/40 that he'll be paralyzed from the waist down." said Mac.
"Oh Mac... what is he going to do?" asked Stella.
"I don't know love, but what I do know is that I need to love you til our bodies are drained of past memories and the days events." whispered Mac.
Bracing himself on top of her, he caressed her beautiful face while looking into her beautiful eyes. Lowering his lips he whispered..."open for me sweetheart, let me burn you in passion and fire."
Open she did and as their tongues, caressed, stroked, plunged, they melted from the enchantment of it all. Needing more of each others love Mac broke the kiss and stroked his tongue across his wife's breasts until he reached her nipples, where he suckled and nipped her into her first orgasm.
"Mac..." Stella purred as she placed her hands on his head and pushed him down to her heated core. Spreading her legs she exposed her swollen bud. Telling Mac without words to kiss and suckle her bud passionately with his tongue. Watching his wife buck and twist in ecstasy burned Mac in heated need that could no longer wait.
"Now Mac... please... I need to feel your soul melt with mine once again." cried Stella.
Climbing back up up on his wife, Mac braced his arms at her side being careful not to put pressure on their child. Then slipping into her like a dream, he sensually moved within her.
"Stella... always so passionate love..." moaned Mac.
"Shh... I know Mac. I'm right here with you said Stella as she wrapped her hands on each side of his face. "I know Mac... It's okay." she cried as their erotic lovers dance carried them both from reality.
"Tell me you are ready love? Tell me you need me to fill you with my seed." whispered Mac on the edge of his orgasm.
"Yes... yes... I'm ready Mac. Now..." cried Stella as she felt his shaft pulsate against her walls.
Slowly coming back to reality. Stella turned herself into Mac's arms. Then kissing his chest, they fell into sleep.
The following morning Mac heard his daughter call...
"Dada, dadaaadaa." cried Claire.
"Hi Claire Bear, Daddy's here. I love you. How bout daddy change your bum and we go downstairs and make mommy breakfast?"
"Mama." said Claire.
Stella had a hard time getting up in the morning with the discomfort of nausea. Once dressed and ready, the Taylor family headed out the door. with Mac heading back to the hospital and Stella in the opposite direction to take Claire to the sitter.
.........................
Meanwhile at the Hospital...
"Hey Danny, how you feeling this morning?" asked Mac.
"A little better. Still very sore." he said.
Mac noticed they had removed Danny's breathing tube.
"Danny... can you remember anything about yesterday, before the shooting." asked Mac.
"No Mac. I told the suspects to freeze, they did and then I woke up here." said Danny.
"Okay Danny, you get some rest I'll be back soon." said Mac.
On his way out the door, Mac ran into Lindsay.
"Morning Mac." said Lindsay.
"Morning Lindsay. Any leads?" asked Mac.
"Actually yes. Do you remember the Tanglewood Boyz." asked Lindsay.
"Yeah... what about them? We put them all away." said Mac.
"I know, but we found some blood at the scene and when we tested it, it came back with a relative match to Sonny. Flack and I think it may be his son." said Lindsay.
"Lindsay are you sure?" asked Mac.
"Positive Mac. So we checked deeper and found out that Sonny fathered two children by the same woman. Laura Rugosa, who is living in Sonny's home. Eighteen and nineteen. That's why we thought they were Hyspanic because they got their mother's coloring." said Lindsay.
"Lindsay... if you and Flack are right, that means Danny is still in danger." said Mac.
"That's right Mac, he is." replied Lindsay.
"Okay... I'm going to post more officers on his door and then Stella and I will pay a visit to Laura." said Mac.
With that said, Mac posted officers throughout the floor.
....................................
When they arrived at Laura's home, Mac asked Stella if she was wearing her vest.
"Stella... do you have your vest on?"
"Yes... I told you that, don't worry." whispered Stella.
Knocking on the door, Mac and Stella could hear whispering.
"NYPD crime lab, we need to talk with Laura Rugosa." said Mac.
"She's not here right now, I'm just the sitter." said the young girl.
"Mac..." whispered Stella. "Look in the side window."
Mac noticed the two boys watching. Heading back toward the car they called for back up.
"If you could let Laura know that we will be back to talk with her." said Mac.
"Sure... I'll give her the message." she said.
Heading back to the lab, Mac seen Don.
"Don... you and I need to go back to that house, now! While Stella is busy. I don't want her involved in this mess. She has enough stress with our new baby on the way." said Mac.
"You got it Mac, give me five." said Don as Mac headed over to the break room to speak with his wife.
"Stella... Don and I are going to go back and get those boys before they disappear somewhere. I want you to stay here love, it's safer for the baby. " explained Mac.
"Mac this is a major case and you're asking me to step down?" asked Stella.
"Yes... that's an order Stella." said Mac.
"An order? What the hell Mac?" she yelled.
"Listen... if something happened to both of us who would take care of our child?" asked Mac.
"If you get hurt or killed Mac, who's going to take care of us?" said Stella.
"Stella... come here love." Holding her tight he whispered... "I love you and promise to come back alive." Giving her a kiss full of passion he left with Don.
"You know Mac... they already know we're here." said Don.
"I know. We need to be really careful. Are all the officers posted around the house?" asked Mac.
"Yeah... everything is a go." said Don. "Open up... this is the police." yelled Don. "You have five seconds and we break the door. One... two...three."
Busting in the door all that could be heard was... "KABOOM."
