"Daddy." Crystal whispered.

Sheldon's, Danny's and even Mac's eyebrows rose at at that and Mac said "Crystal, you need to snap out of it. You're safe I promise you."

Crystal opened her eyes and said "I'm snapped out of it Daddy. What happened?"

Mac's mouth dropped open and he said "Why did you just call me Daddy?"

Crystal went to sit up but Mac wouldn't let her and she sighed because she just realized that she had let slip one of her secrets and she knew that Mac wouldn't let it go until he got an answer to his question. She closed her eyes and then opened them again when she shifted a little because she couldn't stop the cry of pain from escaping from her mouth and she felt a hand on her checking to make sure she was alright. She looked around the office and saw that two of her new colleagues was in the office but she figured that since they had already heard her call Mac Daddy that it didn't matter if they heard what she had to say next.

She took in a shallow breath and let it out and then looked Mac in the eyes. "I called you Daddy because you're my Dad. I found a letter my Mom wrote me about a month ago. My moms name was Hannah Danvers and you met her a month or so before you were shipped out. She ended up pregnant with me and that is how I am your daughter."

As soon as Crystal mentioned the name Hannah Danvers, Mac's eyes closed on a wave of pain. He remembered Hannah and when he had come back from his first tour of duty he had looked for her but he never found her. He had always wandered where she went and how she was doing. As his eyes took in Crystal he could see some of Hannah and even some of himself in Crystal's looks. He wondered how he had missed that when he first met her a week ago.

He couldn't believe that he had a daughter that he knew nothing about. Then what Crystal had said to him registered in his head. "What do you mean you found a letter that Hannah wrote you a month ago? Why didn't she give it to you?"

Crystal closed her eyes on a sigh and then opened them back up. "Mom was murdered three years ago and they still haven't found her killer."

Mac's mouth dropped open in surprise and then he said "Does anyone else know that you're my daughter? I'm not going to be able to have you on my team because you're my daughter."

Crystal shook her head. "Actually the upper Brass know that I'm your daughter. Chief Sinclair was a good friend of Mom's. I guess Mom told him from the beginning that I was your Daughter."

Danny and Sheldon who had been quiet up til then both said "Woah."

Mac looked back at them and said "Danny, take those photos and look them over. Sheldon, I don't think it is a good idea to move her much so call down to the morgue and ask Sid if he has something that could help us get Crystal downstairs so that we can use the X-Ray machine down there."

Sheldon and Danny both nodded and made their way out of Mac's office leaving Crystal and Mac alone finally and Mac turned his head back towards Crystal and said "Is that why Chief Sinclair doesn't like me?"

Crystal shrugged her shoulders and then winced. "I don't know why he doesn't like you. I wasn't even planning on tell you that you were my father until I got to know you better. I don't want you treating me any different then you would treat any of the others on the team."

A hard look came over Mac's face and he growled "I don't play favorites and it won't and don't matter that you're my daughter. I will treat you the same as I treat everyone else. You will get no special privlidges. However I do want a DNA test confirming that you're my daughter because until then I'm not going to believe that you are."

Crystal bit back the gasp of pain that Mac's words inflicted on her because she knew he had the right to ask for a DNA test it just hurt to think that he only wanted the test to prove that what he thought was right. Anger swept over her as she thought about that. It was then and there that she decided she didn't care if Mac was her father or her superior she was finally going to say some things that needed to be said. She sat up after pushing his hands off of her shoulder and then she struggled to stand up ignoring the pain that shot through all of her body as she walked towards Mac's office door. "I should have know that coming to work here was a mistake. After all I know for a fact that Mom sent you a letter when I was four years old and in the hospital deathly sick and you sent the damn letter back unopened. You know how I know that it was you who sent it back Mac? I compared the writing on the envelope to the paper you wrote on last week and the hand writing is the same. I don't want this job and I don't want you as a damn father. I'd rather take my chances else where. I should have never thought that it would have been a good thing to finally meet the man who helped to create me but God you're a bigger jerk than even my Mother realized. Stay away from me Mac Taylor because you're not the man my Mom obviously thought you were and you're not a man I would be proud to call my Dad no matter what your record is with everything in this Crime Lab or what your record is from your Military days."

She pulled open the door and brushed passed a woman with curly hair standing outside Mac's office door with a raised hand and walked towards the elevator. She knew that if she wasn't careful that she was going to end up passing out again but right now all she cared about was getting as far away from Mac Taylor as possible. She couldn't believe that she had thought that he would be not only a good person to work for but a good father. She shook her head to clear it as she punched the down button on the elevator. She had to hold onto the wall to steady herself because she was swaying on her feet. Once the elevator opened she got in it and hit the button for the Lobby. When she looked up she saw Mac heading towards her so she pushed the close door button and ignored him when she heard him yell "Crystal!"

-ITBOAE-

Mac stood rooted to the spot and watched in shock as Crystal walked out of his office after going off on him. He saw Stella standing at his office door and he knew that she was here with the information that he had asked for and he also knew that she was probably wanting answers and he motioned her to come in. "Make it quick Stella."

Stella frowned but nodded. "There is no record at any of the local hospitals of Crystal Danvers being seen or checked over."

Mac nodded. "I figured there wouldn't be. Hawkes said that the bruises looked very new and that whatever happened to Crystal happened last night or very early this morning. Damn it and now she's out there all alone."

Stella bit her lip for a second and said "Mac, why did she look like she was mad when she left? What did you say to her?"

Mac sighed and said "She told me that she was my daughter and after she said that she didn't want me to treat her any differently than I would any of you I got angry and said that I wanted a DNA test because I wasn't going to take her word for it that she was my daughter."

Stella nodded. "That is only the sensible thing to do Mac."

Mac sighed again and shook his head. "The thing is Stella I know that she's my daughter. She is the perfect combination of both Hanna and me. I screwed up royally."

Stella looked at Mac in shock and said "Mac, just because you think that she looks like you doesn't mean that she is yours. You need to get the DNA testing done."

Mac ground his teeth together and didn't answer Stella. Instead he hurried out of his office and when he saw that Crystal was in the elevator he headed her way quickly and when he saw that she noticed him and hit a button he yelled "Crystal!"

He swore when the doors closed to the elevator before he could reach it. He knew that Crystal was mad at him and hell he was mad at himself but he couldn't let her go out there on her own without knowing what happened to her. Hell if he was going to be honest he knew that he couldn't let her go out there on her own because he wanted to get to know the woman that was his daughter.

-ITBOAE-

Crystal could feel herself losing the battle that she was fighting to stay on her feet. Her whole body was in pain and she knew that the man who had done this to her was still out there. She knew that he would be waiting for her at home. Her head started spinning and then everything went black.

-ITBOAE-

Don was waiting for the elevator so that he could get back up to the Crime Lab and tell Mac what he had found. When the doors finally opened his mouth dropped open in shock and then he closed it and ran into the elevator but not before looking over his shoulder and yelling "CALL MAC TAYLOR FROM THE CRIME LAB AND TELL HIM TO GET DOWN TO THE LOBBY NOW AND TO BRING HAWKES!"
