Stella listened as Danny poured out his heart to her. Around the lab she was known as "Sister Bonasera" because of her ability to be a shoulder to cry on when associates needed someone to talk to.
But the more that Danny spoke, the more she realized that he was in love with Lindsay. It was bound to happen. The sexual tension that swirled around them was obvious.
"Stella, I feel so helpless. She's my partner and I have to be there for her."
Stella sighed before speaking again. "Danny, you know that IAB will have to investigate and they will have to do a psych evaluation here at the hospital before she can be released."
"How long do you think that will take?" Danny said, his sadness apparent in his tone.
"It could take from a couple of days to a couple of weeks. Danny, you have to have trust in the system. They know what they are doing here."
"Stell, I have been burned by the system before. They were not there when my brother was beaten, and they certainly weren't there when I was accused of being with the Tanglewood Boys."
"Lindsay is a strong woman. We have to find out what's wrong so we can correct it. Danny, why don't you go home and get some sleep? There's nothing that we can do right now. If I find out anything, I'll let you know."
Danny sighed and headed towards the door. Stella watched as he headed towards the exit. She couldn't imagine what would cause a happy woman to want to end her life.
