Mac walked out of the elevator on the 35th floor and was quickly met by Danny Messer.
"Looks like you had fun last night. Mrs. Taylor happy with the presents?" He asked, flipping closed the tan folder in his hands.
"She loved the surprises, but im not sure about the puppy myself." He sighed, entering his office and taking off his jacket.
"What happened now?" Danny asked, sitting down in front of his bosses desk.
"He knocked over a bookcase and then riped up a pillow." He mumbled angry.
"Dont look at me when you need a dog sitter!" Danny was the only one laughing at his failed attempt at a joke.
"I dont even know how that was possible for the dog to destroy a whole room in one night." He grunted, ignoring the smart reply.
Before anything else was said, Mac's cell phone rang to life.
"Taylor." He answered after pressing talk and putting the device up to his ear.
"Mac, i don't know what happened but Zack got away, some how chewed through the leash. I'm running after him but this is harder then chasing criminals!" Stella said, clearly out of breath.
"Where are you?" Mac asked, standing to his feet and putting on his jacket.
"Strawberry fields" There was silence as Mac jogs down the hallway with Danny at his heels. "Zack!" She screamed on the top of her lungs. "Mac, hes heading toward traffic!"
"I'm on my way. Keep fallowing him." He hung up the phone and turned to the young man fallowing him. "Zack got lose, we have to help Stella catch him."
At Central Park, Stella ran as fast as she can after the black pup. "Zack!" She screamed. People watched them run by without any attempt to help. "Zack!" She yelled again, this time tripping on the un-even sidewalk. People ran to her side, helping her up but totally forgetting about the dog.
"Are you ok mis?" A young man asked, helping her to her feet.
"Yes, i have to get my dog." She said, dusting herself off. "My boyfriend would kill me if i lose him." He gave her a serious look and then at the runaway, chasing a rabbit.
"It's just a dog, why would he be so mad if you don't get him? Isn't your safety more important then the dogs?" He stops her attempt to go after the dog. Looking strait into his eyes, the strange man placed a hand on Stella's shoulder, gazing into her green eyes.
"Zack!" Mac yelled suddenly, causing the dog to abruptly stop and slowly walk toward the big marine. Mac turns to see a man standing close to a bleeding Stella. Quickly running over to her and placing her face in his hands. "Are you ok Stell?"
"Yea im fine, just fell is all." She smiled and placed a hand on his upper arm to calm him. "I'm here chasing Zack around Central Park screaming his name and all you have to do is call his name once and hes at your side." She laughed, motioning to the dog at his side.
"I guess hes more my dog." He smiles and then looks at the man at his lovers side.
"Oh, this is..." Stella said, hoping the strange man would finish the sentence.
"Kevin Alaia." He shook hands with the built man that eyes him from head to toe. "I can tell your that type of man." He said suddenly.
"Excuse me?" Mac took a step closer, causing Danny to hurry to resolve any conflict.
"You heard me." He spat. "The kind of man that has no care in his girlfriends health." Mac looks to the woman leaning on his shoulder. "Your beautiful girlfriend could have been hit by a car for all you care! I bet you beat her too!"
"Me? Touch her in any way other then love?!" He stepped closer, ignoring a pleading Stella. "What makes you say that?! She doesn't have a bruise on her body!" Danny placed a hand on Mac's shoulder in attempt to calm him.
"She practically said it! 'My boyfriend would kill me if i lose the dog!' Your just an ass hole that should be put in jail for domestic abuse!"
Danny's hand slowly slipped to his side as he heard the words. Stepping back, he didn't care if Mac killed the man, he deserved it.
"Have you ever thought for a moment that because she was so upset about the dog that she was over reacting?!" Mac spat, turning around and slowly lifting Stella in the air and turning back to Kevin. "I would KILL anyone who lays a finger on my beautiful Stella!" And with that, Mac walked off with Stella in his arms bridal style, taking her home.
