Chapter One

Detective Mac Taylor couldn't suppress the grin that was forming on his lips. From his desk in his glass walled office, he watched with great amusement as Danny paced back and forth in front of his door talking to himself. After about 10 minutes of watching, Mac decided that he better save the tile in front of his door from erosion. He got up and crossed his office and opened his door.

"Just tell him! It's for her own good! But no! She'd kill me! Yeah! I don't wanna die!" Danny mumbled as he paced back and forth.

"Danny," Mac said gently, "You keep that up you'll go down to the next floor!"

"Sorry, Mac." Danny said sheepishly, "I'm trying to make a tough decision."

Mac nodded. "Well come on in and talk to me. What happens to be bugging you?" He said as he walked in and sat back down at his desk. Danny meanwhile seemed to just move his pacing from outside the door to in front of Mac's desk.

"Mac….I …" He stuttered and Mac just patiently waited. Finally Danny just plopped down in the chair in front of Mac.

"Mac…let me tell you I'm going to be beaten within an inch of my life or killed if she finds out I told you what I'm about to tell you." Danny said. Mac sighed.

"Danny, who are you talking about?" He said patiently. "Why do you feel that this person would kill you?"

"I'm talking about Stella. Has she come to see you recently?" Danny asked and Mac shook his head.

"Why do you ask? Is something wrong?" Mac said with growing concern. Danny had always been a straight shooter and now he was acting like a 5th grader in the principal's office talking about a bully.

"You remember that about 2 weeks ago, Stella was attacked in that alley?" Danny said carefully. By now Mac had sat straight up in his chair. He felt a chill run down his spine as he remembered that night. His heart had almost stopped when he received the call. He had raced like a mad man to her and didn't stop until he had seen her face to face.

"Danny…" was all he had to say and the younger man knew to get to the point and now.

"Mac she got a threatening phone call from somebody this morning. She thought it was the guy at the Greek Embassy. She just doesn't want to break any rules." Danny explained. Mac nodded in understanding.

"Everyone in that building has diplomatic immunity. They can't be touched." Mac said.

"Exactly, except the fact is that this guy matches the description Stella gave us of her attacker." We can't let this guy go!" Danny said. Mac had visibly tensed when he heard what Danny had said and now was on the edge of his seat.

"Is she ok? Where is she? What did this guy say?" Mac said as he began drilling Danny.

"Look all she said was that she wasn't going to break the rules and that he told her to let the fisherman's case to remain unsolved…he also said to not be a hero." Danny said as he tried to calm his boss. Mac took a deep breath and attempted to settle his nerves.

"Ok Danny. I will talk to her and see what I can do." He said softly. Danny nodded and got up from his chair.

"Danny." Mac called as Danny was at the door.

"Yeah Boss?"

"Don't mention this to Stella. I'll take care of it." Danny laughed.

"I won't, remember? My life is at stake!" he said as he left the office. Mac just smiled and shook his head as he reached for the phone on his desk.
