Chapter 7
Danny's POV
The Phone Call
Danny was walking around apartment, waiting for Lindsay's call which never came. Danny didn't have to be at the NYC Crime Lab for another hour; he decided to take a shower. The only thing he could do was think about Aidan; he felt really bad at how he had just dumped her after having sex with another woman he cheated on. He felt really bad; but there was something about Lindsay that just got to him. He never thought that he could get together with someone as wonderful as Lindsay. About ten minutes later he got out of the shower because he thought he heard his phone ring but it was just Mac letting him know that he needed to be at work.
"Ya Mac I'm on my way, I just got out of the shower."
"Okay Danny, be here in twenty minutes."
"Hey Mac, have you seen Aidan yet?"
"No, I thought she was coming back home with you." Mac had a little confusion in his voice.
"No, she left early."
"Okay, well, find her and make sure she's safe"
"Ya Mac, I'll make sure of it." Danny replied, sounding worried. Aidan came home a couple of days ago and obviously, she was pissed. He just left her at the airport and came back to Lindsay. This is something he had never planned, he thought that he was almost in love with Aidan, if that was possible. He walked back into his bedroom to get dressed; when again his phone rang, he picked it up with out reading the caller ID.
"Lindsay?" Danny asked, but when he didn't hear anything on the other side of the line he continued "Hello?" at this point he was kinda confused, then he heard her
"Hey Danny, when did you get in?"
"Aidan, thank God you're safe Mac wanted me and you into his office early this morning. Where have ya been?"
"Danny...um...I'm not coming back to New York, but when you get into the office can you have Stella call my mom's house I kinda forgot my phone in your bag,"
"Aidan, what are you talking about? You have to come back, we have that DJ Pratt case we have to finish. Remember for Regina?"
"Yeah, that's the problem. Okay, I can't talk right now....bye Danny and I'm sorry. I love you, even if you didn't love me. Bye for good" When she finished her sentence, she sounded really nervous.
"Wait, Aidan! You have to know, I am really sorry, I really never meant to hurt you. I guess I did it because we made a bet and I am really sorry. Please come home so we can talk"
"Danny, I'm sorry, but I can't." she started crying and then she finished "Danny, I forgive you, just tell everybody that I'm sorry I was such a screw up and I'm sorry I wasn't good enough for you, Lindsay a great gal, she'll work for you. Bye Danny" then he heard a gun shot; his face went white. and on the other side of the line he heard Pratts voice.
"Your going to miss your girl, uh Messer, too bad you guys were playin around with the wrong man. Too bad, huh, now your bitch is dead, if you want Lindsay to live, then if I were you I would not finish the rape case and then get your nose out of this case, got it?"
"Sonofabitch, you touch Lindsay and I swear I will rip every fucking limb off of your body. Do not touch her" Danny was scared, but he was not about to let Pratt know that. He finally hung up the phone after the line went dead. He realized Aww shit, I have to call Mac!
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
About twenty minutes later, after they had found Aidan's body, Danny was explaining everything that happened. What happened in Las Vegas, the phone call from Aidan and what Pratt said.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Another couple of hours later, Danny was in Trace when his cell started ringing. Thats when he flipped it open again without reading the Caller ID, "Mac please tell me you got something on Aidan's killer"
"Uh, Danny it's Lindsay and what are you talking about Aidan's killer? What happened?"
"Oh my God, Lindsay, she called me saying that, she was sorry she wasn't good enough and how she was just sorry then she told me that she forgave me for what happened in Las Vegas"
"Oh my God, Danny, I'm so sorry, but i have news that might cheer you up!" Lindsay stated, hoping this was going to brighten his day.
"Linds, I'm sorry, but there is nothing you could say to make this better"
"Your right, Daddy it's over. Everything between us is over" this time when Lindsay said it, she started sounding pissed.
"Lindsay, why did you just say Daddy instead of Danny"
She started crying, which was making Danny feel worse than already was but she managed to say something between sobs "Danny I'm pregnant"
His side of the line was quiet, then Lindsay started again "Bye danny i'm really sorry i had to do this today, but you give me no other choice"
"Wait, Lindsa-" He never got the chance to finish, her side of the line went dead.
