Mac was in his office trying to think of some way to find Stella when Danny came in.
"Mac there's a Vic at the hospital. Why don't you go and process her? Maybe it'll take your mind off of Stella for a minute. We'll try to find some evidence while you're gone."
"Ok," Mac agreed as he pulled his suit jacket over his arms. He knew, though, that he wouldn't be able take his mind off of Stella.
'Danny must be crazy to suggest it.' Mac thought as he walked out of the door.
On his way to the hospital, all Mac could think about was Stella. 'Where is she? Is she still alive? Is she even in NY?' Mac thought to himself.
He decided to turn on the radio to some random station, just so he had something to listen to, something that might sooth his mind. After some song by Kenny Chesney, a very familiar song came on; it was the song Mac sang to Stella.
A tear slid down his face. How could he let something like this happen to Stella; he promised her he would protect her. The hospital lights shined through the trees as Mac turned into the parking lot. He walked into the hospital lobby and showed his badge to the lady at the front desk.
Then, he walked to the E.R. and moved the 'privacy' sheet/ wall thing. He took a good look at the victim. She looked so familiar but with all the scrapes and blood, he just couldn't tell who it was.
He walked over to her and took his camera out. Mac took a couple of pictures, then he scraped under her fingernails. He also tested the blood on her face to make sure it was human and it was.
He called in the nurse.
"Did you take a SAE kit?" Mac asked.
"No, I was told not to do anything until you guys got here. Do you want me to?" she answered.
"Yeah, I'll step out," he said. As he walked out, all Mac could think about was Stella. He stared up at the blank sealing, blaming himself for her kidnapping.
'Damn it! If I was just a little bit stronger, this would've never happened!' Mac screamed over and over in his mind.
After about fifteen minutes, the nurse came back out.
"I'll get these samples to our lab," she said.
"Ok, thanks," Mac said as he got up and walked back into the Vic's room.
He got his camera back out. Making sure he got every piece of evidence, he lifted the bandages that were around her hair, just enough to get a picture of a few cuts and bruises. As he tried to move the bandages back down, a brunette curl fell out.
Now Mac knew perfectly well who she was. He looked all over her face and now he could tell beneath the scars, bruises, and blood that the victim was Stella, his Stella.
"Oh my God!" he said loudly, trying to hold back the tears.
"Sir is there a problem?" the nurse walked back in.
"What's her name?" Mac asked.
"Laura Travis" she answered. Mac's heart almost broke in half.
"T-Tr-Travis?" he asked, recognizing the last name.
"Yeah, her husband Nick Travis brought her in. He said she got shot. We brought her here, but she passed out on the way."
"No that's- that's not her name. This is Stella Bonasara. My partner who got kidnapped!" Mac said, not able to hold in the tears anymore.
