Mac arrived at the hospital about 15 minutes later. As he came into the room with the Messer family as he saw the scene in front of him it just broke his heart.
"Hey Lucy, how are ya feeling sweetie?" Mac knew this was a stupid question but at the moment he was at a loss for words.
"Just trying to get by Mac." Just trying to get by." repeated Lucy.
"So a Mac you got any news for us?" questioned Danny
"As a matter of fact, I sent Flack and Stella over to Josh's house."
"And?" asked a very anxious Lindsay.
"And, we have him in custody. I haven't seen him yet but, I do know that while he was being escorted in everyone just stared and you could tell that the whole NYPD wanted to kill him."
"Mac, where do we go from here?''
"Danny, we have to interrogate him. Which leads me to this next point? If you would be able to handle it, I want you and Lindsay to be in the interrogation room with me and Flack." Danny and Lindsay looked at each other and glanced at Lucy who just shook her head. "Yes, replied Danny and Lindsay."
"Ok, well we are interrogating
him in an hour. Meet us there."
"What about me Uncle Mac? I'm
being released in like 15 minutes. What about me can I observe?"
"Sorry baby girl but no. But
you will be at the precinct. Stella will be interrogating you."
"Why
do I have to be interrogated? I didn't do anything." Stated Lucy
as the tears began to fall down her cheeks.
"It's just protocol Luce." Said Lindsay as she held her daughter. "I know you can do it. You are strong just like your daddy.
"And your Mom." Added Danny.
"Alright Messers meet you guys there. See ya later kiddo." Mac then kissed his goddaughter's head and left the hospital to get back to work.
Danny and Lindsay signed the
release papers and grabbed Lucy's things. They then walked down to
the car together as a family. The Messer family had to be at the
precinct as soon as possible so the whole ride their Lucy just sat in
the back seat staring out the window. She wanted to get this thing
over with and move on with her life but she knew in order to that she
had to confront her attacker.
"Ok sweetie we're here.
Said Danny as he got out of the driver's seat and went around to
the back to open the door for his little princess.
"It's now or never, I can do this. Let's get this over with. Lucy tried to prepare herself as best as she could. But, in the end she knew she could do this she was a Messer after all. And as everyone knows, the Messers don't take any crap from nobody!" Ok so that was the Italian in her blood but still it worked.
Danny, Lindsay, and Lucy got on to the elevator and pressed the button to go up to their floor. Once they got to the right floor the doors opened and they walked out. It was time to confront the issues that were plaguing the entire Messer family as well as the NYPD family.
