"Hey there, boyfriend" Lindsay teased.

Danny, still groggy from surgery, tried to lift his eyelids and forced a weak smile.

"I'm going to take that as a 'thank you for saving my life'" Danny said.

Danny laid on the hospital bed as Lindsay sat next to him. Mac stood before them.

"How you feeling?" Mac asked.

"Like there's a hole in my stomach" Danny joked. "I suddenly have a craving for cold soup". Lindsay smiled.

"You guys got here fast" Danny continued.

"Well, the bullet in your stomach was the only bullet discharged at the scene. We need to recover it for ballistics" Lindsay said.

"And here I was thinking you wanted to see me" Danny said.

"The jewels were intercepted from the armored van as it was traveling through Brooklyn" Mac said. "Two of the robbers were found dead".

"How's Flack doing?" Danny asked.

"Why'd you ask?" Lindsay answered.

"The jewels are Evelyn Weisman's, right?" Danny answered. "Flack's mom."

"You knew?" Lindsay said, surprised.

"Unintentionally" Danny answered. "Once I needed to talk to this yacht club guy, hard to get to, not even with a warrant. Flack called someone who called someone else and set me up an appointment. When I got there, this mature but pretty woman comes up to me and says" Danny then imitates Flack's mom " 'Well, hello. You must be Danny Messer. I'm Don's mother'".

Lindsay laughed a little.

"She is a piece of work" Mac answered.

A nurse comes in and hands Mac a Ziploc bag with a bullet in it.

"So that's where I put it" Danny jokes.

"I'll check if the striations match any priors" Mac said. "Lindsay, you get the armored truck. It's parked in the garage now. Check with Hammerback on the other two dead robbers".

Mac turns to Danny "We'll talk later" and heads for the door.

Lindsay leans in and gives Danny a kiss on the forehead "Get some rest".

Danny closes his eyes. He couldn't help but smile.
