A/N: I finised up the chapter 3. Go me. LoL I hope you like it.


Annoying sound of a phone ringing on a bedside table woke Mac up. He was having a day off well not actually a day, more like a week or two. Who an Earth was calling him? He almost refused to pick up the phone but eventually he picked up the phone.

"Hello." You could hear from his voice that he wasn't that happy.

"Morning Mac. It's me,Danny."

"Morning Danny. Why are you calling me? Don't you know that..."

"It's you day off. I know." Danny finished for him.

"Then...what's the problem?"

"Mac."

"Yes."

"I think you should come to Stella's place."

That sure got his attention. But why...

"To Stella's place? Danny,what's going on?"

"Stella is missing. Someone took Stella!"

Now Mac was fully awake. He jumped out of the bed and his heart might have missed a beat or two.

"WHAT!?"

"I came to Stella's appartment when she didn't come to work and she wasn't answering her phone. The janiator let me in and I found a huge mess."

Mac couldn't believe what he was hearing. He was already putting his pants on and searching for his shirt.

"I'm coming over. I'll be right there. Call Flack and tell him to get there with his boys. Oh and contact Lindsay and Hawkes we need every csi on this!"

"Already taken care of Mac. See ya soon."

"Good. Thanks."

With that he hung up and put his shirt on. Peyton heard the whole conversation and got up.

"You know we should be flying to London this afternoon. What's going on? Where are you going?"

"I'm going to Stella's place."

"Well,I heard that." She said with the hint of sarcasm in her voice. "Why?"

"Stella is gone. Someone took her."

"Oh God." This time concern replaced the sarcasm in Peytons voice.

"You have to cancel the flight. I can't leave right now. I have to find Stella."

"I understand Mac. I'll try to get a later flight."

"Fine. I'll call you. "

With that,not even a kiss, he left. Leaving Peyton behind.

Mac got in his car and headed towards to Stella's appartment. He couldn't believe this. Stella..his Stella was gone. Some bastard took Stella away from him. Mac was grasping the steering wheel and he could feel his anger rising. All the pain that Stella's been through...and now this. No! Not her!

Mac was driving like he had never drove before. Not stopping for the red lights,driving little bit too fast for the turns. He knew he was dangerous to him self and to other people on the street but the only thing in his mind was Stella."She's alive. She has to be alive. We will find her." he didn't even think otherwise. He needs to find her...and he will find her no matter what.

With no time he arrived at Stella's place. There was already police cars in front of the building and the outsiders were bloking the way. He got him self out of the car and pushed his way through the growd and entered in the building. Walking...well almost running to Stella's appartment he saw Flack talking with some guy. He passed them and reached for the door. He got in and the sight that he saw made him gasp. The appartment looked even worst than it looked like when Frankie had attacked Stella. There was signs of strugle everywhere.

Danny walked right up to him.

"Hey. You came fast. Lindsay and Hawkes haven't arrived yet but they're on their way. Flack is talking with the janiator and with the neighbors."

"Yeah. Ok. Let's look around and then decide what to do next."

"Sounds good to me."

At first they entered in the bathroom. The shower was still on,the bath towel was on the floor and there was signs of struggle.

"Maybe this is the place where it all began."

"Yeah maybe. Let's go to the living room."

Danny followed Mac out of the bathroom and they stopped by the table which was down the hallway. Things that seemed to belong on top of the table,including Stella's purse were lieing on the floor.

"I think she was trying to get something from her purse."

"Yeah,it seems so. Maybe her gun." said Mac while bending down to the floor. "Looks like blood drops."

"Yeah and it seems to lead to the door."

"Someone was bleeding." Mac didn't like the sound of that. He could almost say for sure that it was Stella's blood.

They continued their way to the living room and stood next to the coffee table.

"What a mess." Danny made a notion after looking around the living room.

"Yes. She did fight back that's for sure." Mac looked around and saw blood on corner of the coffee table. He pointed his flashlight to it "Blood. She might have hit her head."

"Yeah."

That's when Lindsay and Hawkes stepped inside.

Lindsay was first to speak "Hey guys. We came as soon as we could."

"Yeah,I think we all did." said Danny while looking at Mac who stayed in the living room while Danny walked up to Lindsay and Hawkes.

Lindsay had her eyes on Mac and asked "How is he?".

"On the edge. As you probably could guess. "

Three of them was looking at Mac when he kept staring at the coffee table.

Hawkes broke the silence "Hey Mac! What do you want us to do?"

Mac snapped out his trance and walked up to the others. "Hawkes,you take the bathroom. That's the place where this all might have started. Lindsay,take this hallway and work your way to the living room. Danny,you can take the living room and when Lindsay and Hawkes are done they can help you out."

Everyone nodded letting him know that they understood.

"What about you Mac? What are you going to do?"

"I'm going to talk with the janiator and then join you guys."

With that they all went their directions.

Mac walked up to Flack and the janiator.

"Mac. This is Mr.Smith. He's the janiator of this building."

Mac shook the janiators hand "Nice to meet you sir. I'm detective Mac Taylor."

"Oh yeah,I remember you Mr.Taylor. I've seen you with Ms.Bonasera couple of times. You worked with her?"

Mac heard the janiator saying "worked" but he shook the idea of not working with Stella ever again out of his head "Yes,I work with her. She's my partner."

"Oh I'm so sorry. I hope you can find her. She's such a nice woman."

"We will. Now,I know you already answered some questions but do you mind if I ask some too?"

"No of cource not. I'll do whatever I can to help you find her."

"Thank you. When was the last time you saw Ms.Bonasera?"

"That would be last night. When she came home from work. Well,at least I think that's where she was coming from. She looked like she had a rough day."

"And what time was that?"

"I think it was around 11 p.m. or something like that."

"That makes sense. Did she came home alone?"

"Yes."

"Did you spoke with her?"

"Yeah we talked a little."

"About what?"

"Oh the usual. Greeting each others. I was asking about her day. She said it was a rough day so I wished her better rest of the evening."

"That's all?"

"Yeah. No wait! I told her that I let the plumber into her appartment."

"A plumber?" That got Mac's attention and also Flack's.

"Yeah. The plumber came in during the afternoon and he was knocking on her door. He told me that Ms.Bonasera had called him in and when she wasn't at home I let him in. I have a key to every appartment."

"Okey. Did she say anything about the plumber when you spoke with her?"

"No. Not really. But you know what was odd. I could swear that she looked like she didn't even knew anything about the blummer. But she didn't said anything so I leave it be."

"Really? Now that's interesting. Did you see the plumber getting out her appartment?"

"No. I was very busy that day so I just thought that I missed him going out."

"Did he have a car?"

"Yes. There was a black van in the alley. I assumed it was his van."

"Did you see the licence number?"

"No,I'm sorry. I didn't paid any attention to that."

"What did he looked like?"

"He looked like a normal guy. He had dark hair,grey or hazel brown eyes. He was about your height Mr.Taylor."

"What he was wearing? Did you noticed anything unusal about him?"

"He was wearing a blue overalls and black boots. He was also carrying a tool box. Oh and he had this accent when he spoke. I think he was from England or something like that."

"An accent huh? " Mac made a note to him self. That information might help at some point.

" Did you heard anything from Ms. Bonasera's appartment later that night?"

"No,not really. I'm not a next door neighbor and I live almost otherside of the building."

"Okey. Thank you Mr. Smith. If anything comes to your mind,please call me." Mac gave his card to Mr.Smith and was about to leave when Mr. Smith spoke "Uhm,Mr Taylor."

"Yes?"

"Do you think that the plumber kidnapped Ms.Bonasera? I mean I did let him in and..."

"Let's not get ahead of the time. We're investigating the appartment,maybe then we can say who did this to her."

"Oh okey."

Mac could see that this whole thing was bothering the old man "Mr.Smith,don't blame your self. You did nothing wrong. Only one who did something wrong was the person who did this.You have helpped us a lot. "

"Thank you detective. I will contact you if I come up with something."

"Thank you."

Mac headed back to the appartment and started to tell Lindsay,Danny and Hawkes what he had found out.

"I spoke with the janiator. He saw Stella around 11 p.m. last night when she was coming home from work. He also told me that he let the plumber into Stella's appartment during the afternoon."

Danny walked up to Mac and asked "You think that's our guy?"

"He's the best lead we got. The plumber told the janiator that Stella called him in but when the janiator told Stella about the plumber she looked like she didn't even knew about him."

"Sounds like our guy to me." Hawkes came out from the bathroom joining the others.

"Yes well, let's finish up from here and then see what we've got. Janiator saw a black van in the alley assuming it belonged to the plumber. So I'm going to check out the alley and then join you guys."

"Okey. We keep on working in here." and with that Lindsay turned back to her job.


I have the chapter 4 ready but I still have to make some changes and read it through. I'll try to post it soon.
