Finding You in New York

A/N: Thanks to Shan for the Beta
Danny walked through the halls of the New York crime lab with his head held high, feeling as though he was on top of the world. He had a girlfriend who was nice and the team liked, he was on the promotion grid and he had had a great breakfast.
"Hey Messer, you thinking about food again?" chirped a voice from behind him
"What? No why would you say that Hawkes" Danny replied
"You just have that look" Hawkes said with a small laugh.
"Hey that's good coming from mister 'I talk in my sleep'"
"I don't wanna know why you know Hawkes talks in his sleep Dan" Flack said coming out of Stella's office.
"Okay let's get back to work guys" Stella said as she gave a piece of paper with an address on it to Danny. "I want you two to go there and process the scene"
"Kay" Danny agreed
……………………….
"So do we know anything about the case yet?" Hawkes asked
"No not really. Wait there are dead bodies there" Danny said with a chuckle
"Man that's not even funny"
"In my mind it is"
"Of course. Only in the Messer mind" Hawkes said "How are you and…ah Beck doing"
"Good, one of the longest relationships I've been in" Danny said as he parked the car. "Let's go"
Hawkes and Danny exited the car and made their way to the stairs of the building.
"Oh God" Hawkes said as he look onto the dead bodies. There were two dead bodies one male and one female; they were both lined up next to each other execution style. They were holding hands which were covered in blood.
"Hey Danny are you okay?" Hawkes asked as he saw Danny's face turn pale.
"Yeah it just looks like…Don't worry I'll check the bedroom" Danny replied
Hawkes nodded slowly as he knelt down looking closely at the two bodies.
"Hey Danny. Come have a look at this"
"Yeah" Danny said as he walked out of the bedroom.
Hawkes pointed to the male's right shoulder which had a sentence cut into the shoulder it said 'Love will come through'.
"Help me roll her over" Danny said as he pushed the deceased female's shirt across her right shoulder. There was another sentence, but this one was different it said 'it's just waiting for you', on it.
"Looks like it's a quote or maybe from a song" Hawkes said
"Yeah…maybe. I'm going to go back to processing"
Danny walked back into the bedroom to continue processing.
Two hours later Danny had finished processing both the bedrooms the bathroom and was heading to help Hawkes with the kitchen.
"Hey man I'm done; I got a couple of prints I am expecting them to belong to the Vic's. You?" Danny asked
"Yeah I'm just lifting this print them I'm done. Did you notice that they had a parrot?"
"Nope can't say that I did" Danny replied as they started down the stairs.
…………………………………..
Ten minutes later Hawkes had gone into one of the labs to start comparing prints.
"Hey what have you got on the case?" Flack asked as he walked into the lab with Danny.
"Well I know that the prints from the bedroom, bathroom, lounge and kitchen belong to the Vic's. But there were a few I found in the kitchen and lounge room that don't belong to them, I'm running them through AFIS at the moment" Hawkes explained.
"Okay well Stel should be going through here soon to check up on you guys. She's trying to make everything good for Mac when he comes back from that conference" Flack said
"Hey guys you going anywhere with the case?" Stella asked
"Right on cue" Danny said
"What?" Stella Asked
"Don't worry. Most of the prints match the Vic's except a few in the kitchen and the lounge room which I am running through AFIS" Hawkes explained.
"Great I will be back soon to…" Stella was interrupted by a beeping coming from the computer. "Wow a match to one of the prints already"
"Duncan Grinnell" Flack said "arrested for possession of drugs and assault of a police officer. I'm going to bring him in"
"I'll keep running the prints. You guys look over the other evidence" Stella instructed.
Danny and Hawkes walked out the room and down the halls quietly
"You okay Danny"
"Yeah why wouldn't I be?"
"Its just you seem quiet"
"This case just seems like another one I was on a while back"
"Really. We should look back over it"
"No you can, I'm going to look over the trace" Danny said as he walked away from Hawkes
"Hey Danny what's the cases called?"
"Your gonna have to ask Mac about it" Danny said
"Ask me about what?" Mac asked
