He'd been watching her for some time now. The taxi was parked a block down from the precinct, watching her as she came and went. He knew things about her, things like how he knew she got coffee every other day. Why was he doing this? It all started when he tried to run down that cop. But no. Then she came, pulled the cop out of the way. That caught his attention.
And as if he didn't have enough problems on his hands already. A boy. Reed Garrett, was it? Yes, that was his name. This boy had come into the taxi, started to ask him questions. Things about the cabbie killer.
"Nothing." He had told him.
This kid knew too much about him, so he had no choice. He took the boy with him. Couldn't let those answers onto the streets. No telling how fast they would spread.
And that lady. She knew too much about him. He swears that she saw him that night. He couldn't take any more chances. So he sat there and waited.

Beep! Beep! Beep!
Lindsay groaned, pulling the bed covers over her head. She peeked through the covers, trying to make out the time.
"Damn clock." She grumbled, pulling the covers further over her head. "Waking me up at 4:30 in the morning. No human should have to wake up this early."
Sighing, Lindsay slapped her hand down onto the clock, making the horrible beeping stop. Lindsay pushed the covers off her body, shivers going down her spine. She stared at the covers, now crumpled into a ball. Maybe she could sleep for a few more minutes...
Bring! Bring! Bring!
An even better idea popped into her head. Ignore the phone! Yup, that's what she's going to do. After a few more rings, the voicemail picked up.
"Montana!" A thick New York accent came through the speaker.
"I recognize that voice." Lindsay thought to herself.
"Montana! C'mon, I know you're there! Stop staring at the phone and come pick it up! It's important!"
Sighing, Lindsay walked over to the phone.
"Alright, alright. Hold you horses, Messer. What's so important for me to have to wake up at 4:30 in the morning for?" she said into the mouthpiece.
"Oh nothing. I was trying to get you to wake up faster." Danny said.
Lindsay smirked into the phone. "You're a real ass."
Lindsay could tell that Danny was smiling on the other end of the line.
"I try."

"Damn, looks like the cabbie killer has struck again." Stella said aloud as she ducked under the crime tape.
Mac was beside the body, a 25 year old women.
"3 single cuts the back of her neck."
"Sad, really." Stella said, pulling a camera out of her case. "This girl had the rest of her life ahead of her. All of that taken away."
Stella looked over at Mac. The usual blue in his eyes turned to a dull blue. As soon as he heard about Reed, he left the room, not speaking a word.
"You ok, Mac?" Stella asked.
Mac looked up at Stella. His face showed that he was tired. In fact, he hadn't slept well in the last 2 days.
"Don't worry, Stell." Mac told her. "I'll be fine."
Meanwhile.
"Damn rush hour." Angell grumbled as she drove down the highway.
Rush hour had to be her least favorite time of the day. In most places, rush hour was at 6 in the morning and 5 in the afternoon. In New York, however, rush hour never stopped.
Flack clutched the arm rest as vehicles cut in front of the door. These people are crazy drivers! He could barely hear the music coming from the radio. The traffic was just that loud. Flack reached over to the radio and turned it up.
"When I met you
In the rear view mirror
You were closer then it seemed
I was going through dark troubled times
No sign of a light in my view – to love."
Flack smirked. "Country? Why does Angell listen to this stuff?"He thought to himself.
Suddenly another voice joined in.
"When I met you at the movies – honey
You sat closer then a friend
What makes you sick
What makes you tick
What gets you up
What brings you down
Who's watching over you now."
Flack looked over at Angell. That beautiful voice was coming from her?
"Each time you came around I felt a bit lighter
Lost in a sense of something so right
I fell right in into you
Each time you came around I felt a bit brighter
Lost in a sense of something so right
I fell right in into you
I'm into you
What I write you in this letter
Are all the words that help me see that
You,
You make me so much better
All you do when we're together!
Each time you came around I felt a bit lighter
Lost in a sense of something so right
I fell right in into you
Each time you came around I felt a bit brighter
Lost in a sense of something so right
I fell right in into you."
Yup. That was defiantly Angell. Her voice sounds amazing!
"I'm into
Yo – ou
Yo –ou – ou
Yo – ou
Yo – ou – ou
Each time you came around I felt a bit lighter
Lost in a sense of something so right
I fell right in into you
Each time you came around I felt brighter
Lost in a sense of something so right
I fell right in into you
I do
I do
I do"
"I've been thinking about you in the middle of the night
How could something so wrong go so right.
I fell right in, into you
I've been thinking about you in the middle of the night
How could something so wrong, go so right
I fell right in, into you
Each time you came around I felt a bit lighter
Lost in a sense of something so right
I fell right in into you
I'm into you."
The last few notes played and the song finally finished playing.
"Wow." Flack whispered.
The car rolled to a stop as they came upon a red light. Angell looked at Flack.
"What?" She asked, raising and eyebrow. "Was that bad?"
Flack shook his head. "No. Your voice is stunning. Never thought you sang."
Angell blushed, shrugging her shoulders. "When I was younger, my mom made me take singing. She never really liked me playing hockey I guess. Figured I should do something girly."
"You played hockey?"
Angell smiled and looked at the rear view mirror. Suddenly her smile faded into a frown.
"What's wrong?" Flack asked, turning around and looking through the back window.
There he saw a yellow taxi. Angell thought the taxi driver look vaguely familiar.
They didn't know it, but it was the cabbie killer.
