When Mac went to reply to the voice the phone was hung up.Mac's eyes shot to Don.

"Guess who." He said with a sigh.His expression losing any sign of happiness that had been there.

"He's pretty quick,he acted more quickly then Rickie did."

"Don,on a hunch...where is Lisa?." Don moved his mouth to speak but stopped and decided to look through the file he held in his hand.He made a dissatisfied sound before answering

"Says here she was released on good behavior two days ago.What are ya thinkin' Mac?"

"I'm thinking her life is in danger,if your boy told you what Robert said to him,then,without a doubt he told Robert that Lisa went against his brother." Stella sat listening to this,nothing but a painful memory from years ago.

"Mac,you can't leave." Stella said standing up looking him dead in the eyes.

"Stell.." he said before closing his eyes taking a breath. "You know I have to.Just please stay here in my office with Josh,I don't want anything happening to you two." Her eyes darted down to Joshua and she nodded slowly.

"Mac,please come back in one piece."

"Don't worry Stell,you know I'll bring him back." Don replied to her as little Joshua stood up and stumbled his way to his fathers pant leg tugging on it with his tiny fingers and looking up at Mac with big blue eyes.

"Daddy leave?" he said in a small voice,and Mac gave a small nod picking him up.

"That's right little guy,but I'll be back." He said with a small and Joshua nodded and wrapped his tiny arms around Mac's neck.Stella gave a small smile and held her hands out to Joshua who went to her without trouble,he was assured his dad would come back so he had no worries at all in his little heart.Mac gave Don a nod and Stella watched as they both headed down the hall in the elevator.Once inside Don looked to Mac.

"So what's the plan boss man?" Mac looked over to him,he had no real idea what his plan was.

"We need to get Lisa to a safe place,like I said without a doubt,Robert will go after her."

"Alright Mac.Just remember,your coming back in one piece no matter what." Mac gave a small chuckle and nodded.They reached the ground floor and headed out to Don's car.Soon they were on their way to Lisa's apartment where just a few years before Mac rescued his son and watched a man die.On the ride there he could remember his confrontation with Robert as if it was yesterday.

"What are you doing Robert!" Mac called out from behind a wall.He had been fired at,and Robert seemed half out of his mind.He was holding a woman captive,she was blind folded and scared out of her mind.Mac her a sinister laugh before Robert began to speak.

"You don't get it detective do you?! I already dug myself a hole,why not lay in it one last time!" He turned to the girl pointing the gun to her head.Mac could just barely see the woman,he knew he was running out of options and had to act fast.

"Robert you don't have to do this.You didn't have to hurt those kids either."

"Yes,yes I did they...they were from the other gang,they were planning to get us" Mac knew he had the confession he needed.His main concern was saving his hostage.

"No Robert,they were innocent,just like her,let her go." Robert gave another laugh,he pointed the gun to her head and before Mac could see or catch it he herd the gun go off.He could hear the sound of her body slumping to the floor in a heap.

"Awe no look at that detective Taylor,she's gone.She wasn't worth anything,not the air she breathed or the space she took up in this world." Mac took a breath,he peeked around the edge to see Robert standing in the middle of the Ware house.He had nothing in his hands and Mac figured the situation safe.He slowly came out holding his gun in front of him pointed at Robert.

"Robert...put your hands on your head."

"I don't think so detective..."

"Think of your brother Robert,what about Rickie,how is he going to live without you?"

"Rickie...come on...he's a big boy now."

"Robert,just put your hands on your-" Before Mac could finish his statement Robert pulled a gun from behind him from in his belt loops.Mac swallowed and kept his stand."Put it down Robert...I don't want to shoot you."

"You wouldn't detective,your not the kind of guy." Robert pointed the gun at Mac and cocked it back.The moment Mac herd this sound his heart stopped.All he could think about was his pregnant wife,and what it would do to Stella if anything every happened to him.Mac shook his head.

"Robert put it down! I'm not asking you again!." Robert gave a smile and took a step forward with his finger on the trigger,it took Mac only a second to realize the flexing muscles on his finger.Mac pulled his own trigger the same time Robert did.They both hit the concrete ground of the warehouse out of instinct.There was blood on the floor.Mac herd the door open and back up come in.He stood up and looked himself over and smiled when he realized he was fine.Robert had taken one to his shoulder and laid bleeding on the floor,how ever he survived.

Mac came back to reality when he herd Don speak.

"You Mac,we're here,you alright?" Mac gave a nod.

"Yeah let's get up there and get her out of there." The two headed up to the second floor of the building.Mac was in the lead and stopped when a familiar smell hit his nose. "Don...you smell that?. He turned to the other Detective who was trying to smell the same thing.

"Is that..?"

"That's exactly what that is." Mac said before coming to astop in front of Lisa's door.He knocked twice to get no answering.Mac nodded to Don who kicked down the door and they were greeted by a horrible scene.
