„Danny gimme your weapon!"
„He did this to her, Mac!" Danny aimed his weapon at the man lying before him. He was coughing and bleeding, but Danny took no care of it. He was boiling with rage.
Mac was nervous. He was afraid, that Danny would make a big mistake and pull the trigger any moment. He had to do something. This son of a bitch had to atone for his doings. He would take care of it. He couldn't allow Danny to become a murderer because of her.
"Gimme your weapon!" he commanded again.
"Mac!"
"Danny!" Mac gave him a piercing glance.
Danny shook his head. "Don't do this Mac!"
"Danny, he will pay for this." Mac saw one tear falling down Danny's cheek. Then Danny gave him his weapon. "I'm sorry." He turned his head and walked away. He couldn't stand the face of this guy anymore.
"It's alright, Danny." he whispered more to himself than to Danny. Mac looked at the man in front of him. "Get up!"
He took the hands of the man and handcuffed him. "Get him out of here!" he finally said to the police officers around him. Then he walked over to Danny who was leaning against a wall, looking down to the floor.
"You alright?" he asked.
"Yeah…" There was a pause. "Yeah, I'm fine. Mac, I'm sorry. It's just…" Danny sighed. "…it's just… It's been a month now since that happened to us and I still see her lying on the floor. I still cannot sleep. When I close my eyes there is she, calling my name, trying to find me, and there is nothing I can do to change the things that happened. I feel so helpless." Tears came back to his eyes. It reminded him of that night, when he'd visited Louie the first time after he was attacked and Mac was standing outside the hospital when he'd just burst into tears.
"You're emotionally involved. As we all. I understand you. But you have to do a job here. Remember?" Mac said this as considerate as possible. To tell the truth, it hurts to see Danny this hurt. He knew what she was for him. What she ever would be. The feeling was mutual. She felt the same way about him as far as he could tell.
Danny nodded. "I know, Mac. And I'm really sorry. That will never happen again. I promise." he tried to give Mac a weak smile.
"Good." Mac tapped Danny on the shoulder. "Now go home. Try to get some sleep. You look awful."
"As I told you, I still cannot sleep. Let me do the interrogation." he begged.
Mac shook his head. "No Danny, I'm sorry, but I cannot let you do this."
"I understand." Danny nodded. He knew why Mac doesn't allow him to interrogate this guy. He would not calm down again, if this guy would provoke him in some way.
He closed his eyes and even now he could see her pale face, smiling slightly the moment he'd arrived at her place and told her that everything would be alright. He sighed. He still saw her blood on his hands when he had tried to stop the bleeding. That had torn him apart.
"Danny?" He felt Mac's hand on his arm.
"Yeah?"
"Go home! There is nothing to do for you now."
Danny nodded. "You're right!" he said.
Somehow he found his way out of the building. Several police officers gave him a look. He ignored them. He managed to get into his car, took a deep breath and made his way through the city to his apartment.
In front of the house, where his apartment was in he stopped. His hands still rested on the steering wheel. He couldn't walk into his apartment now. All inside reminded him of her. He didn't know why. She'd never been there before, but he hoped some day he would invite her to his place.
He started the engines again and drove over to the hospital where she was brought in after he'd called 911.
