A/N: Here is chapter 3, I couldn't leave you on that cliff hanger ending to long could I? :) Thank you all for your lovely reviews! I loved reading them; they brought a very big smile to my face! I have chapter 4 wrote I just need to add a few bits here and there so hopefully that should be up by the weekend and then I need to get my butt in gear and start chapter 5… which I won't lie I'm struggling with! Anyway, let's get on with chapter 3 :)

Stella heard her cell phone ring; she fumbled around trying to get it out of her pocket while also looking for Lucy. She saw Danny's name on the I.D 'Crap' she thought as she answered the call.

"Hey Danny, everything okay? Don't need me to come in do you? I'm having fun here!" She laughed

"Nah Stell, Just checking up on how my little beauty is, Hope she is being good?" Danny asked

"She's being a little angel Danny" Stella ducked down and looked through a tunnel and saw no sign of Lucy there.

"What's she up to right now? Can I speak to her?"

"Erm… She's not here right now, we are playing hide and seek, she's hiding and I'm seeking" Stella looked around the large padded 3D shapes to try and find Lucy, but she wasn't there either

"But she's okay isn't she? I mean you haven't lost her or anything!"

"No I haven't Danny… she's fine, she's erm… Just a really good hider isn't she?"

"You okay Stell? You're sounding a little odd"

"Me? I'm fine, never better!" She heard some sniffing coming from the sensory cave and wandered over to it.

"I need to get back to work Stell, but once you find her can you ring me so I can speak to her, I just need to hear her voice and keep her with you Stell, don't take your eyes off her!"

"Of course Danny, speak soon" She said and smiled as Danny said his goodbyes and then slipped her phone back into her pocket and made her way into the sensory cave, The sniffing got louder "Luce?" She called into the cave.

"Auntie Stella?" Came a little voice from the back of the sensory cave; Stella made her way over to where the voice came from and saw Lucy curled up in a ball with tears rolling down her little cheeks.

"Oh Lucy, What's wrong Sweetie" She asked scooping the little girl up into her lap.

"These horrible boys were throwing balls around and one hit me on the head" She wiped her nose with her sleeve "so I came to find you, but you were gone and I got scared cos I couldn't find you, so I came in here to hide" Lucy sniffed once more and Stella lent down to kiss the top of her head.

"Hey, how about me and you go down that slide a few times and then go and find somewhere to have lunch, does that sound like a plan?" Stella asked.

Lucy nodded.

Stella wiped the tears out of her eyes with her thumb "First though Luce, We have to phone Daddy, he wants to speak to you"

Danny arrived back at the lab a few hours later; he spotted Lindsay in the AV lab and made his way over to her "Hey babe"

"Hey Danny, me and Adam were just watching that video you had sent over, there isn't much to run with"

"What have we got on it?"

"Well you see the little girl looking at the DVDs, and then you see her look up as if someone called her, then she wanders out of view, and that's it"

"Is there any cameras on the street outside the video store?"

Adam looked away from the screen and answered "Yeah there is a few, I've had a look but whoever took her is good Danny, you don't see his face or much else of him on any of them which kinda reminds me of Tom and Jerry, Did you ever watch that as a kid? You would never see that lady would you? Just her feet, It was weird how you wouldn't see her… but I guess it's because you were seeing It from the mouse and…"

"Hey Adam… Adam! Enough, I think Mac wants you!" Danny told him, Adam looked up to see Mac beckoning him into his office.

"err… Yeah…. I best go see the boss then!" He got up and left the couple to it.

Lindsay giggled at him after he left. "He is just so…. Adam!"

"Linds, going back to the case, I swear, after this shift is finished I'm taking Lucy down to the nearest hospital and getting a microchip put in her neck, so we always know where she is!" he rubbed her neck as he was speaking to her.

"Danny, don't you think I'd I've already got that done if it was available?" she lent her head back enjoying the massage she was getting from her husband.

"I just can't bear the thought of anyone taking her, she's our baby!"

Lindsay turned around on the chair so she was facing him "Danny, look around you, do you think any of these people will let anything happen to Lucy? She Is the most protected and loved three year old in the whole of New York"

"I know Linds, I just worry and this case hit a little too close to home I guess"

Lindsay stood up and pulled Danny into a cuddle "I would be worried if you didn't worry about our daughter" she told him as she lent up to kiss him.

Danny broke the kiss and then kissed Lindsay's nose "Right Montana, I need to go back to the crime scene, see where he could have gone with the little girl"

"Okay I'll catch you later Cowboy!"

Danny and Hawkes arrived back at the crime scene which was still taped off and had a look around the area.

"See anything?" Hawkes asked

"Nothing, I mean this is a quiet street for New York and no one saw anything, there is no sign of which way they went or anything, my bet is they left in a car" Danny suggested

"But we have no idea what type or car or even colour… I say we have to go back to the video footage of the street and look at every car that goes past the cameras, zoom in, check the rear seats, and see what we can see"

"Sounds like a good job for Adam!"

"I'll ring and ask him to get started on it" Hawkes said as he pulled his phone out his pocket and called Adam

While Hawkes was on the phone Danny took another look around the area, He walked up to the point where the tape was and then started to make his way back to Hawkes it was on his way back that he noticed something in the corner of his eye, Just on the road by the curb was a green hair slide with one of the Disney princesses on, for the life of him though he couldn't remember which one. He took some photos off it with the camera he had around his neck and then he slipped a glove on and picked it up, there was a few blonde hairs attached to it. He opened an evidence bag and dropped it in.

"Find something?" Hawkes called over to him.

"Yeah, a hair slide, I mean it could be nothing, lots of girls have them, Lucy has a dozen or so at home, but there are a few hairs on it so we could work out if its Caitlyn's or not"

"Well take it back to the lab and find out, then you can also help Adam, I think I'm going to stay here canvas the area a little more"

Danny arrived back at the lab and took the hair slide to trace, he realised he had nothing to compare it too; he would have to go and ask the parents for Caitlyn's tooth brush or hairbrush. He stored the evidence away safely and started to make his way to the elevators, that's when he heard a giggle, the same giggle he had heard a thousand times before. He turned and made his way towards where the noise was coming from.

He opened the door to his office "Daddy!" Lucy ran over to him.

"Hey Lucy-girl what are you giggling at?" he asked picking her up and hugging her tightly against him.

"Mummy and Auntie Stella are making me laugh" She told him as he carried her over to the couch where his wife was sat and sat down next to her sitting Lucy on his lap.

"Is that so? I bet Daddy can make you laugh too" He smiled and then tickled her and she started to giggle again "See told you I could" he kissed her forehead and she snuggled up to him.

"Are you nearly finished Danny? I'm thinking I need to get this one home and sorted as it's nearly dinner time" Lindsay said

"I think I'm gonna have to stay a little longer, I need to go to Caitlyn's house and get a reference sample and then compare it to something I found today, I could be a while" He told her

"That's fine, you go do what you need to do, I'll take this one home and get dinner sorted, I'll keep yours warm for you, hopefully you'll get home in time to read Lucy her bedtime story"

He leaned over and kissed her "Thanks babe, I'll try to be as quick as I can" he looked down at Lucy "You be good for your Mummy" he then kissed the top of her head and sat her down on the couch between him and Lindsay. "I'll catch you both later and thanks for having Lucy today Stell" He gave Lindsay another quick kiss and then left to get his reference sample.

"Hey Stell, fancy coming over for dinner? My way of saying thank you for having Lucy" Lindsay asked

"You don't need to thank me Linds, but I would love to come over for dinner" Stella smiled

"Shall we make our way home then?" Lindsay stood up and put her coat on and then helped Lucy into hers

"Yay! Home time!" Lucy grinned and ran to the elevator and waited there for Lindsay and Stella to catch up so she could press the button.
