It was two days later, Mac was looking over the evidence on what was found in Derek Mitchell's apartment. They were nowhere closer to when they started. Danny ended up coming in.

" Mac, any other leads on this case?"

" So far all the leads are dead ends. Flack and I have talked to co-workers of Mason Anderson and said that they haven't seen or heard from him the last few days."

Danny looked over the evidence and sighed.

" Something on your mind?"

" It's something Chloe told me about Mason, how he goes out of town to Atlantic City."

" You're just telling me this now?"

" I didn't think anything of it Mac. I have a feeling that Mason is still in New York and he's going after Chloe. I haven't talked to her in years, but I remember what it was like to see pain in her eyes. She's scared Mac, scared that Mason is going to come back and finish what he started. I can't let that happen."

Danny then went out of room, not noticing Stella coming in from the other direction. Mac was looking over the evidence, so he didn't notice either.

" Miss me?"

Mac turned around to see Stella, surprised but happy to see her.

" Hey Stella."

Stella went up to Mac and they hugged. Stella then looked at what Mac was looking at. Stella Bonasera was a member of his team who recently took a vacation to Greece, but now she was back, willing to go right to work.

" What have we got here?"

" A fugitive on the run. His name is Mason Anderson. He attacked one, killing them, and then another, but she survived."

" She?"

Mac picked up a photo.

" Chloe Donavon, apparently Mason attacked her after an argument, but then left. Flack and I went to the scene to find Chloe still alive. The deceased, Derek Mitchell, died from blunt force trauma to the head. Chloe, was attacked from behind, but the damage wasn't as bad. Danny's been talking to Chloe and he just told me something that Chloe told him. Apparently our fugitive likes to go to Atlantic City."

" So you have a fugitive on the run that probably didn't mean to hurt anyone and possibly has a gambling problem."

Mac nodded his head.

" What can I help you with?"

" Welcome home Stella and you were missed around here."

Flack then entered the room, surprised to see Stella.

" You don't waste time do you?" Flack asked," You just got back and now you want to dig right in?"

" It's what I'm here for."

Flack just grinned.

" I found something else out about Mason Anderson. He's got no record. Derek Mitchell on the other hand does have a record. A few DUI's, disorderly conduct, and resisting arrest when he was chased after a bar fight."

" Derek Mitchell was no boy scout," Stella said," So where do you need me Mac? Who can I talk to?"

Mac was glad to have Stella back, he could use all the help he could get.
