Talking with her friends at the diner, their favorite diner was a common thing they did on every other weekend. Usually they left before closing time but tonight was different. They were all going to go off to different colleges. Of course Kelly would forget to pack her bags it was rather common. Lindsay looked down at her half-eaten burger and watched as Macy smeared mustard all over it. Lindsay grabbed her glass and noticed that there was mustard on that too. She said "you guys are so picky," and went to the bathroom. As she was washing her hands the door chime rang and her friends stopped laughing. Then they screamed and gunshots sounded, and she curled up in the corner of the bathroom crying silently and hoped that the water running would not alert the gunman. Then, not knowing why, she went to the door and pulled it open to a small crack and saw a man, the gunman, covered in blood, her friends blood, standing in the middle of the restaurant and seemed to look at her, and then left. She ran to the phone and dialed 9-1-1 "Help their dead, all dead, he shot them. they're on the floor"
A soft rain was falling as Lindsay woke up nearly falling off the bed. She sometimes would have the nightmare of what happened now over sixteen years ago. She hated the fact that her friends were dead but she could not help it. Her phone rang. She rolled over and fell off of her bed as she grabbed the phone. She looked at the display and saw the caller was Mac. She answered the phone "Detective Monroe, I mean Messer."
Mac Chuckled and said "Good morning, still confused."
"No, I just forgot my name."
"Is that really it?"
"Just woke up."
"Oh."
"Wha'd you need?"
"I wanted to see if you could come it today."
"Kay, do you need Danny, too?
"Yes"
"OK"
"Something bothering you?"
"Nightmare, what time do you need us"
"Ten A.M."
"Be there, Mac"
"Ok bye"
"Bye"
Danny was awake as he heard Lindsay speaking on the phone. After she finished he said, "I did have plans."
"Sorry honey we'll do them later."
"but…"
"Honey, we do need the money so we can raise our daughter"
"Yea."
"Well lets call Uncle Freddy"
"OK"
He watched as she left the room and he got up and put clothes on. He walked into the kitchen and made breakfast. He heard the sounds of his daughter waking up and his wife going to give Lucy her breakfast. Lindsay carefully set the plates up and gave Lucy a spoon. "Lets see what art she creates," Danny said chuckling receiving a look from Lindsay.
After breakfast Lindsay left the room to change Lucy. He chuckled as his wife entered the room, She was playing peek-a-boo with Lucy and making funny faces. Lucy had piggy-tails and wore a pink shirt. Danny laughed watching the duo. Uncle Freddy knocked on the door. Lindsay answered and gave him a laughing Lucy.
"Da-nny," Lindsay said. Danny smiled looking at her chocolate brown eyes. He wondered how she could steal his heart with one word. She smiled and grabbed her coat and his, and threw his coat at him. She put on her coat, grabbed her purse and was out the door.
