The past always come back by Nehebka

Chapter 1

"Hi Mac" Stella said walking into Mac's office. "Could you tell me what has really happen in the examination room?"

"I'm as shocked as you Stella" confessed Mac.

"Do you really think that Danny is involved with Tanglewood boys?" Stella asked in a worried tone.

"I really wish that it was just Sonny trying to rattle us but…"

"I know… Danny is so reticent to talk about his past that who knows…" sighed Stella.

"I guess everybody has secrets to keep" replied Mac.

"Indeed Mac. But your secrets don't put others in danger, does it?"

Mac shook his head "Meanwhile we'll have to keep Danny as far away from this case as we can. If it's true he's involved with this gang he could be in danger" said Mac as Stella shook her head. "We'll have to get Danny parted with us soon" mumbled Mac.

OoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooO

There was a knock in Mac's door "Stella told me you wanted to see me" Danny said. As Danny entered the office he shut the door behind him, Mac put away the folder he was looking at.

"Please sit down Danny" said coldly. Danny could felt by Mac's voice that something was wrong.

"We have caught Sassone as the murderer of Paul Montenassi. And he has said something that I found quite shocking"

"What?" asked Danny pretending he wasn't knowing what he was talking about. As the seconds went by, he could feel how his heart dropped into his stomach.

"He told me that when I saw you I should ask you when he'll be released. Do you have any idea why he would say that?"

Danny gaped at him. "I don't know" replied Danny

"No more bullshit, Danny. What's going on?"

"Mac, I…"

"What am I dealing with?" interrupted Mac.

"I ran with Tanglewood… for a bit" said through clenched teeth.

"For a bit! What am I supposed to understand with "for a bit"? Are you off?"

"Yeah I left that life long time ago"

"You know what? I always wanted to you the benefit of the doubt, but your behavior lately had been making that more than impossible. You should have told me, Danny" Mac said, obvious disappointment in his voice.

"What was I supposed to say? Hey, Mac, I used to be in a gang. If I have told you I would have never had the chance to be in the list of promotion. It would have jeopardized my promotion!"

"Maybe you already have jeopardized it by lying me" said Mac as he stood up and left Danny alone in the office.

"Shit" mumbled Danny as he hit the table with his fist. He had been working very hard to get that promotion and suddenly he had lost it. Moreover he had lost the trust of Mac and soon it'll be the rest of the team. He felt alone and lost. What should he expect of the future if there was no future for him. No in CSI. It was matter of time that he would be fired, thought.

Danny hung his head. He felt like all his life was sinking fast. He walked out of the office.

"Danny" called Aiden. But he was too deep in thought to notice much around him. "Earth calling Danny" joked Aiden with a cheery smile. She put a hand on his shoulder.

"What?" said distractedly as he turned around.

Aiden looked at him. "Vow, are you all right?"

"Yeah it's just I'm tired" lied as he left the room.

"Sure" whispered to herself as she saw him leaving.
