Mac was in his office he was busy filling out some paper work for the lab when suddenly his office phone rang.
He picked it up on the first ring and said professionally "Taylor."
"Ah Detective Taylor this is Dr. Richard Aaron I am Ella McBride's psychiatrist at the West View Institution I would like to inform you that she is being released today."
Mac felt himself freeze and his stomach drop.
He took a deep breath and sputtered out "W- why is she being released I thought she was never going to be released and that she could never be rehabilitated?"
Dr. Aaron replied "Well she has responded greatly to the medication she was given here and is going to be staying indefinitely with her wealthy Aunt in Connecticut."
Mac felt himself reeling even more he just couldn't believe he was having this conversation.
Mac took another deep breath and asked concernedly "Why are you telling me this is she still a danger to me?"
Dr. Aaron said tentatively "Well no, but she has been saying that she wants to sue you."
Mac felt his mouth drop open.
Once he had composed himself he asked in disbelief "Why!"
Dr. Aaron's replied "Well she believes that you slandered her good name you see even through she is on medication and admitted to everything she did to you Ella still believes that you need to be punished."
Mac replied angry now "I thought you said she wasn't a danger to me?"
Dr. Aaron said hesitantly "Yes but what I meant that she wasn't a physical danger to you."
Dr. Aaron replied apologetic "Detective Taylor I am very sorry I didn't mean to upset you even through I shouldn't be doing this I thought it would only be fair that I warn you."
Mac softened a little and replied "I understand Doctor thank you."
Dr. Aaron replied confidently "I want to let you know that I will testify on your behalf when and if this goes to court you have not slandered Ella socially or mentally and I can prove it."
Mac replied warmly "Thanks Doc I appreciate that I do I'll let you know okay?"
Dr. Aaron said gravely "I'll speak to you then I sincerely hope it doesn't come to that."
Mac replied gravely "I'm afraid with Ella it will."
