"What the hell is wrong with you, you son-of-a-bitch! Who the hell runs out in the middle of traffic like that?" Danny said as he cuffed Arnold. "Thanks to you we got a detective down! Look at her!" He said pointing to Lindsay, who was being carried into an ambulance on a stretcher.
"We've got him from here Danny." One of the officers told him. Danny saw Mac pulling up in his car. Shit. Danny thought. How the fuck am I supposed to explain this.
"Have you heard anything form Mac yet?" Hawkes asked Stella as they were driving to the crime scene.
"Unfortunately not. All he said was they were at the hospital, he didn't say anything about Lindsay's condition." Stella told Hawkes. First flack now Lindsay! Stella thought. What is this?
"Here we are Stella." Hawkes said parking the car. "Nice place for a murder."
"Not until you see the inside." Stella said ducking under the police tape.
The inside of the house was turned inside out. Pictures were on the floor, blood was smeared on the floor and on the walls.
"Hawkes, I thought you said there wasn't an entry to her ventricle. How could this much blood be everywhere? If just her feet were punctureded--."
"I saved the best for you. There was a deep cut in her back."
"Why didn't Mac and Lindsay catch that?"
"There was no hole in her clothes."
"We need to find that murder weapon. That's the ticket right there. What kind of weapon could make the cut she had on her back?"
"I'd say a knife. The cut was about this length." He motioned about a foot with his hands. "And extremely deep, considering it cut the ventricle."
"How do we know for sure it cut the ventricle?"
"I sent samples of her blood from both areas to trace, hoping they could find something in her blood that would lead us at least to what the weapon might be."
"And?" Stella asked hopefully.
"Adam found wheat in both samples."
"Wheat? As in bread? Wouldn't it be in all of her blood? "
"Exactly as in bread. And no, I took samples from other places—such as her feet—and wheat wasn't present." Hawkes said heading towards the kitchen.
"Interestingly Miss Monroe did not suffer from any broken bones." A doctor told Mac and Danny in a nasally voice . "She is however suffering from a concussion which could throw her off for a few days. I recommend she stay here for a few nights just to be safe."
Why is my team getting hurt like this! Mac thought to himself. "Whatever will help her most doctor. Thank you." Mac said heading out of the room.
Danny stayed back for an extra minute. "I shoulda known Montana. I knew that guy was trouble since the first time we saw that bastard. I shoulda taken him out then and there. Know look at ya. You have a concussion cause I didn't get the guy fast enough. Thank God it's only that." He said taking off his glasses. He rubbed his eyes.
"Danny wait here with Lindsay, I'll head back for the interrogation." Mac said giving orders to Danny. Maybe you'll finally see what everyone else does. Mac thought to himself.
"Yes sir." Danny said sitting down in the room. Mac proceeded out the door and into the elevator.
"I think I've got it." Stella said smiling. "There's blood on the handle. Right where someone could've missed it."
"I'll bag it." Hawkes said. "Man we're a good team!" He said as Stella's phone rang.
"It's Mac" she said. "Mac, how's Lindsay?"
