I do not own the CSI:NY characters. Just Peter and Camilla.

................................................................................................

On the day David Peters is to be released from prison, he is shot down in cold blood in front of his son Peter. Now alone and on his own at nineteen, he seeks the help of his good friends and detectives, Danny Messer and Donald Flack. Enlisting the help of the team, they search out clues that will lead them into a dangerous situation that will force two friends to face what they had always kept hidden.

It had been five long years for ex cop David Peters. Now on the final day of his sentance, he was ready to build a life with his son Peter. He knew he owed alot of his thanks to detectives Messer and Flack. They had taken care of Peter while he served his time in prison.

Grabbing his wallet, and other belongings from the prison guard, they opened the gate and allowed him through to the outside. Looking to the left of him, he seen his son. He couldn't believe how he had grown into a wonderful man. Now at nineteen, Peter stood at six foot one, with bright blue eyes and black crew cut hair.

Smiling at his dad, he made his way to his side. Embracing to take him in his arms, Peter felt his fathers body jolt against him. Releasing him, Peter seen the blood covering his fathers back. Screaming for help, the guards came running. While they tried to control the bleeding, Peter knew it was too late. His father was gone.

"I'm sorry son, he's gone." said the guard. "Call it in Swanson."

"Already done Grant. They are on their way." said Swanson.

Over at the lab, Mac and Stella were in the breakroom with the team. They had been teasing Mac endlessly, cause it had been five years, and he still hadn't gotten her with child.

"Damn Mac, by the time ya and BonaTaylor have a kid, you'll both be in a nursin' home, " laughed Danny.

"Keep going with the jokes, Messer. At least I'm married," said Mac.

"Excuse me, Mac. We just recieved a call from dispatch, there was a murder at the jail. An ex con was released. He was shot coming out of the gates," said Camilla.

"Okay guys, let's go. Grab your kits." said Mac as they headed out.

Camilla had been with the lab for five years now. She had proven herself on several occasions, leaving Mac no choice but to keep her on, even when Stella returned from sick leave. Arriving on scene, the first thing Don and Danny noticed was Peter laying over the body. Nearing his side, Don realized it was David Peters.

"Christ... what happened Peter?" asked Don.

Looking up at Don with tears he said... "someone killed my dad. Why Don? Why?" he asked.

"I don't know Peter. But I promise you, we will figure it out. Why don't you wait in the car," said Don.

Once Peter was out of earshot, Don turned to Mac and said...

"I'm going to need you and the team on this, Mac. We need to find David's killer, fast."

"You have us, Don. No worries. Danny... go inside the prison and see if David had any visitors while he was on the inside. Adam... go with him and see if the guards will allow you and Sheldon to question some of his cell mates, or mate. Maybe they know or heard something." said Mac. "Stella... I want you and Camilla to see where the shot may have been fired from. See if you can get distance and possibly the angle of the shot."

With everyone working part of the case, Mac headed over to talk with Peter.

"How are you doing, Peter?" asked Mac.

"Not good detective Taylor. I don't understand how this happened. Why would someone hurt my dad?"

"I don't know son. But I promise you we will figure it out. By chance did your dad mention anyone to you when you visited him here?"

"No Mac. All we ever talked about was the life we were going to build when he got out. As far as I know, he had no visitors. If he did, then he didn't tell me about them." said Peter.

"Okay Peter, I'll be right back." Walking back over to Danny, Mac asked... "What did you find out, Danny?"

"Not alot. According to the prison log book. The only visitor David had was his son. how's he doin' now?" asked Danny.

"Not to good. Are you taking him for the night," asked Mac.

"If he wants, sure. Why?" asked Danny.

"Just watch your back. Until we find out who killed Peter's father. You are putting yourself in danger. Especially if they are after Peter too." said Mac.

"Don't worry bout me, Mac. I'll be fine." said Danny.

When Mac seen Adam and Sheldon coming out of the prison, he knew they had nothing.

"Not a thing Mac. We talked to his cell mate, and to several of the other prisoners that knew him inside. They said he was always on his own, and kept to himself. So where do we go from here?" asked Sheldon.

"Back to the lab. hopefully Sid has something for us," said Mac.

While the team headed back to the lab, Mac checked on Stella and Camilla.

"Did you find anything?" asked Mac.

"We did. Two shell casings. By chance did our victim have two bullet holes," asked Camilla.

"I'm not sure. I'll know more when we get back and I talk too Sid," said Mac.

Heading back to the vehicle with Stella and Camilla. Mac drove them back to the lab.
