Summary- Danny's past comes back to haunt him.
" Lindsay, what do you want Lucy to wear today?" Danny asked his wife as he tickled his daughter's belly, making her giggle.
"The yellow sundress that's on the dresser."
"Oh, that dress. Do you want to wear a pretty yellow dress, Lucy? Hmm? You look as beautiful as your mother. Yes you do."
Danny walked in their bedroom with Lucy on his hip. Lindsay looked up from where she was putting make-up on.
"Oh Danny, she looks beautiful."
"Yes she does. Here mommy. Daddy has to get ready for work."
Danny handed Lucy to Lindsay then headed to their closet.
"Come on my baby girl. Let's get you something to eat."
Danny came out to the kitchen ten minutes later getting handed a cup of coffee from Lindsay and receiving a good morning kiss. Danny cupped her face trying to deepen the kiss but Lindsay pulled back.
"Slow down cowboy. We have to go to work."
Danny groaned, pressing his forehead to hers. "Later then?"
"Later." Lindsay smiled.
When they arrived at the building they took Lucy to the daycare on the ground floor, then headed to the lab. Mac caught up to them as they got out of the elevator.
"Danny! Lindsay! You guys got a homicide in Queens. Flack's waiting for you."
"Sure thing boss."
Flack lifted the crime tape for Danny and Lindsay.
"What do we have, Don?" Lindsay asked.
"Jason Bradford, 36. White male."
"Who called it in?" Danny asked.
"A woman walking home."
"Well, his face is badly beaten. Sid should be able to find CoD and ToD." Danny said, observing the body.
"Danny, I think I found the murder weapon." Lindsay said, holding up a baseball bat covered in blood.
"This man looks far from homeless on this part of Queens. He looks like someone I knew."
"Who?" Lindsay asked.
"I don't know."
Danny shrugged his shoulders and both he and Lindsay began their sweep of the crime scene for any evidence that may be helpful to the murder. They arrived back to the lab with bags full of possible evidence. Lindsay gave their evidence to Adam then headed with Danny to the morgue.
"Hey Sid. What do you got?"
"Uh, Jason Bradford died of blunt force trauma to the face and head. I did recover some possible DNA under his fingernails. Lots of defensive wounds. He lost the fight though.
"ToD?"
"Last night. I'd say between 8 and 10p.m. Tox didn't show anything."
"Here Sid."
"Thank you. Well the DNA under the nails comes back to a Jerry Smith."
"Jerry Smith!?"
"Uh yeah. Do you know him?"
"Danny?"
"Excuse me."
Danny headed to his office, finding the file he wanted. Lindsay was just about to step into their office when her phone went off.
"Oh My God! Danny!" she shouted.
Danny looked up at the sound of her panic voice.
"Lindsay?!"
"She's gone."
"What?" trying to calm her down.
"Lucy! She's gone. I just got a text from the daycare."
Danny and Lindsay raced to the daycare.
"What the hell happen?"
"I'm finding out Linds. Slow down."
"Don, where is my daughter?"
"I don't know Linds."
"That son of a …."
Danny backed away and ran back to his office, getting an address before leaving.
"Well hello Detective Messer."
"Where is my daughter?"
"Come in. Lets talk."
