Chapter 10

The sun was setting over Manhattan, leaving impressive views from across the East and Hudson rivers. Usually the beautiful view from his office cheered the young CSI but not this day. He sat in his chair and gazed at the elevator doors three hours after Hawkes said she had left. He walked around the lab in case he had missed her four hours after she left. He was now sat at Adam's workplace, the place with the best view of the elevator, after five hours without a word. Danny knew he was getting weird looks from the lab rats but he didn't care.

"Err Danny; do you wanna go sit on that chair over there? I kinda have DNA to analyse and you're making me really uncomfortable." Adam said nervously: Danny didn't move. He heard footsteps coming towards him and Kendall knelt by him.

"Sweetie, she is alright. Don't be so paranoid. Lindsay is good at staying out of trouble and she is the bravest person I know. If something happens to her, which I'm not saying it has, she could break the guy's limbs no trouble... but if she was up against a gun... or a truck-"

"-That's reassuring Kendall. Really helpful." Adam whispered sarcastically. Bored by the lab techs lack of people skills, Danny found Hawkes.

"Has Lindsay come back yet? Have you seen her?"

"Not since last time you asked."

"Well what were her exact words?" His panic was beginning to show in his voice

"She said: 'if anyone asks, I'm following a lead.'"

"If anyone asks? What does she mean?" And before Hawkes could say another word the elevator made its familiar 'ding' and Danny's focus had been lost. Only one woman came out, Jenny the receptionist, and to their surprise she addressed them.

"Danny Messer? This package came for you."He literally snatched the package from her and read the front: 'Danny Messer: NYPD Crime Lab: Floor 35.' He ripped it open and spilt the contents onto the nearest table. There was a cell phone and a note attached. The note could not have been briefer but could not have been clearer.

'How does it feel, Messer? How does it feel to not be able to save the one you love AGAIN? I sent her phone to you. She's not going to need it anymore. '

A chill washed down his spine like waves on a beach. He knew what was going to happen. This time he would stop it before it was too late.

" Mac, Stella, I have something to tell you." He found them in Mac's office, informing him of her discovery.

"Hawkes! I got a new lead. We managed to access Faye's facebook account and guess what! There is a very long private message, arranging a meeting in Central Park on Saturday, with none other than Roy Turner. "Stella smiled." We now have evidence he was in contact with his daughter and was going to meet him right where she was shot. Flack said he had a gun and lost it. But this was never reported. Flack is getting warrants for his store and home. Unfortunately the bullet fragment was too small to be identified. Fortunately though, Adam found a partial thumbprint on it. He is running it through AFIS now."

"Stella, Danny has gone! He got a note. I don't know exactly what it said but it mentions Lindsay and her phone was delivered with the note. He took it and ran down the stairs."

"Who was it from?

" Mac asked quickly.

"It didn't say. But it is someone Danny knows. It said something like:' how does it feel to lose another loved one?" They all thought for a minute and Mac remembered something Danny had said.

"Danny told me his childhood friend was dead but didn't say how she died. She may be the 'other loved one' the note mentions. She was also Tristessa's twin sister. That's a connection. Danny also said that there was an event that occurred involving Roy Turner. There's another link. Which do we follow?"

Stella had a plan. She pulled Mac out of his chair and sat in it, grabbing the mouse from the computer.

"What is Tristessa's sister's name? I'll run it through our database and see if the records tell us how and when she died?"

"Her name was Lucy Minelli. She must have been quite young so search for aged 30 and below." It took a few minutes before the computer beeped, signifying the results had been found.

"Luciana 'Lucy' Minelli: aged 19: died from a gunshot to the chest: apparent robbery gone wrong: 3 witnesses: Roy Turner, shopkeeper, Lewis Lawski, robber and Daniel Messer, victim's best friend. Oh my... it happened in Turner's store!"

"That must be where Lindsay and Danny are. Let's call Flack and a SWAT team."

Heart pounding and gun loaded, Danny slowly made his way to the place he always visite d so many years ago . A huge, dark cloud began to drop large pellets of tear - like water, soaking Staten Island . He didn't care about the water soaking through his clothes and impairing his vision. History was about to repeat itself but this time Danny wasnt going to love the one he loved. Danny wasn't going to lose his Montana.
