Summary: A new way to get high and a strange robbery take place while Mac Taylor gets mysterious messages.

--

He hated the man. He had been the only one to figure out the plan. Now his friend was dead and he had lost fifteen years. Of course he tracked the man's career. Watched him as he became the leader of one of the best crime labs in the nation. He smiled when the man lost his wife. He released his anger when the man was able to stop the mob after they broke in. He had to do it the day before his release when he learned that the man had saved the last victim of the Cabbie Killer.

He couldn't give into his anger now. He had to wait. He couldn't bring attention to himself yet. He held up his phone at the man exiting the SUV from the driver's side. He took several pictures with the phone until the man went into the building. "We have unfinished business, Detective Taylor."

Mac Taylor walked in to see a small pool of blood. A middle-aged man was holding an ice pack to his head while a medic was checking him over. Danny Messer was dusting the glass of a broken display case. Jennifer Angell was talking to a man dressed in a tuxedo. The bow tie was undone and hanging from his neck. She finished talking with the man and went over to Mac. "Story is the butler heard a knock at the door. He answered and three guys rushed in. One knocked him out. Didn't wake up until the owner was standing over him with a washcloth."

"Any word on what exactly was taken?"

"From what we can see so far: electronics, jewelry, silverware. There was also a tapestry that was hanging in the main bedroom." Angell stopped for a minute. "Now, the electronics you can pawn, along with the jewelry and the silverware. What was the tapestry for?"

"Seeing from some of the rare items this guy has, it could be possible the robbery was planned. The electronics and everything else taken was just a decoy. The tapestry was the real target." Mac set to work on the wall where the tapestry sat.

Danny went to start dusting a vase near the overturned lamp. "Stop, I don't want anything foreign on that object," the owner yelled. He tried to rush over and pick it up when Angell stepped in his way.

"This is a crime scene. If you can't behave properly, I will have to escort you off the premises." The owner got into a huff and walked out the door.

"Sounds like Flack's starting to rub off on you." Danny was dusting the side facing up. Angell let out a laugh and then went out to start collecting witness statements. The majority of the work was dusting, though both men came across blood far away from the butler's and thought that it may belong to the robber. Danny took a reference sample from the butler while Mac took fingerprints from both the butler and the owner, though the owner was less than cooperative.

"And exactly why do I have to give you my fingerprints?"

"This is to rule out your fingerprints from the others we collected." The man sighed and held out his hand. He muttered a few choice words before Mac got his hand done. He went into the bathroom to wash off his hands.

They walked out of the building when Mac's cell phone began going off. He saw that he had received a message. He opened it to see it was a picture of him walking into the building he just exited. There was a caption beneath the picture. "Taylor on his way to work." The number that sent the call was unknown.
