Flack sat at his desk with anger in his eyes, his heart raced as his fingers danced along the wooden top. His phone sat squarely in front of him, in shock from the conversation he just finished with Danny. Finish was such a definite word; Danny was the one to say goodbye. If he hadn't been sure before, he was sure now; Danny was planning on doing something stupid. Whether it would be to himself or someone else, Flack was positive he had to do something and fast.

Looking up he found Lindsay leaving the Police Station, without a minute to loose he got up and ran after her.

"Lindsay!" He called out as Lindsay ignored him, speeding up her pace. "Lindsay, stop!" He repeated as he caught up with her. Gently grabbing her shoulder he turned her around to face him, noticing right away that she had been crying.

"What do you want, Don?" She asked, without making eye contact.

"What's wrong?" He asked in confusion.

"It's Danny." She said wiping her eyes as she began to tear up once again. "He's changed, he's not the same person." She said as her voice cracked.

"I know." He said rubbing her shoulder. "What did he say to you Lindsay?"

"He said he had to leave or he would end up hating me. He said that everything in his life is messed up and he doesn't want me around. In more then words." She sniffled, pulling a napkin from her pocket and blowing her nose.

"Lindsay, I don't know how to say this, but I think Danny has done something stupid." Flack was being direct, Lindsay could tell he was scared.

"What do you mean?" She said looking up at Flack, her tears stopped for the moment.

"He said he was already dead, so he is going to stay dead. Then he said goodbye and hung up." Flack took a breath, "We need to find him, and quickly."

Before Lindsay could answer, officers all around them began to scramble as radios were flying. "Hey, what's going on?" Flack said to a passing cop.

"The guys transferring your prisoner were just taken out, Derek Harris escaped!" The young cop said as Flack's heart dropped.

"Oh my god." He said under his breath as his mind went to Danny, had it been him? "Lindsay we have to find him, and we have to do it NOW." Flack said as he ran out to see what happened.

Lindsay stood in shock as the news broke out, the Danny she knew would never kill a cop for revenge, although the Danny she knew was long since dead. She could feel the bile rise up in her throat as she looked around a the men and women running around her, it was as if she was moving in slow motion. Lindsay could feel the pieces of her heart breaking away as she stood, holding her chest, forcing back the tears that were threatening to fall. She lost him once, she couldn't do it again.

Looking down she realized her cell phone was in her hand and was ringing repeatedly. Picking it up, she realized her voice was gone. Clearly her throat she spoke softly.

"Monroe." She was lost.

"Lindsay, it's Mac. Is Danny with you?" He asked, unaware of Danny's current situation.

"No, he's gone." She answered dully.

"Derek escaped, I think he has people working for him. We need to find Danny before he does." He explained.

"You aren't hearing me Mac, Danny is gone. He doesn't want to be found." A tear finally broke through.

"What are you talking about?"

"He told Flack that he's dead. He's gone, Mac. He is gone and it's my fault." She felt her knees buckle.

"Lindsay, are you still at the Station? I'm sending Stella to get you." He said, not aware of how bad the situation really is.

"Hes gone." She said again as she collapsed on the floor. Luckily a passing officer, grabbed her before her head hit the floor.

Every cop in the precinct was at the crime scene before Flack got there. The car that was taking Derek to Central booking was on fire, the Police escorting him dead on the ground. Veteran cops stood back with their hands covering their mouths in shock, the gruesome way these men were killed was sickening. Standing at the edge of the tape, Flack stood in shock. The fresh snow around them melted as the car burned.

"What happened?" Flack asked as Mac walked up behind him.

"It was an ambush. A man walking by said that the black car over there T-boned the cruiser as it came through the intersection, when it stopped moving about four or five guys in black jackets and ski mask swarmed the car. When Derek got out they started shooting, I think a bullet hit the gas tank." Mac said pointing at the crime scene.

"This was planned and executed." Flack said pulling his notebook from his pocket.

"I talked to Lindsay." Mac looked to Flack for answers. "Where is Danny?"

Flack looked at his co-worker with dread in his eyes. "Well, I was right. He shouldn't be alone." He said with sadness in his tone.

"What happened?" He said as he lifted the tape to enter the crime scene.

"He said he's not coming back and that he is already dead so he is going to stay dead." He said looking at the burnt Officer on the ground. "Looks like he wasn't dead when the car exploded, could have crawled from the car before he died." He said as they examined the body.

"Most likely. You think he's going to hurt himself?" Mac asked, pulling on some gloves.

"Maybe, maybe not. He's not the Danny we know anymore." He said crouching down next to the victim.

"That's what I'm afraid of." Mac said looking at the young cop. "Damnit, this kid of only twenty-three." He said looking at his drivers license in his wallet.

"Who ever did this, you can bet your ass they'll be going after Danny next." Flack said standing up. "I'm going to call Adam see if he can trace Danny by his cell phone or something."

"Won't work, call needs to be active, or turned on. I've called him a million times, voicemail on the first ring. He doesn't want to be found right now, and sadly, I've trained him well enough. If he doesn't want to be found, he won't be found." Mac explained.

"So what? We just sit here with our thumbs up our asses, while Derek Harris has a free for all?" Flack was furious.

"No, we do everything I would do in Danny's situation. If we don't know where he is, we'll go where he is going. I have Stella going to pickup Lindsay, I have more CSI's coming to process this scene. You and I are going to find Danny before Derek does. We are going to end this." Mac said with determination. Without answering Flack looked at Mac and gave him a nod. They had a job to do, and they weren't going to stop until it was finished.
