Chapter 10
Crime Lab
Mac walked into Adam's office who was sitting on his chair listening to headphones
"Adam" Mac called loudly startling Adam
"Oh hey boss" He replied nervously "I was just-"
"What did you get from Danny and Lindsay's apartment?" Mac asked cutting him off
"Nothing we didn't already know" Adam told him reluctantly "Billy Myers prints were all over the place we found his biologicals in the bedroom and there was urine in Lucy's room but obviously we can't trace that back to him"
"Any activity on his credit cards or cell phones?" Mac asked starting to get frustrated
"Nothing" Adam told him "The last transaction came from an ATM less then an hour after Lindsay's attack where he withdrew a couple hundred dollars but that's it since then"
"He can't live off that forever" Mac mumbled "Find me if anything pops up"
"You got it" Adam assured him as he watched Mac leave then carefully placed his headphones back on his ears. Mac was walking to his office when he heard Flack calling his name
"Mac!" Flack shouted and Mac turned to him and nodded "I just received a call from Chicago PD. Last night at a Motel 6 police were called on to a scene that neighbors called to be a very loud and violent confrontation between a man and a women. When police arrived there was no man just a call girl who had been beaten and sexually assaulted"
"Ok" Mac said knowing Flack wouldn't just be wasting his time with this story
"Call girl gave a description of the guy matches Billy Myers. The CSI's out there also recovered his prints from the room and the worst part of it all-"
"It gets worse?" Mac asked annoyed
"The call girl told the police when he called he gave a very specific description" Flack told him and Mac nodded
"Someone who looks like Lindsay?" Mac asked and Flack nodded slowly
"Call girl was also wearing Lindsay's clothes" Flack told him
"Wonderful" Mac mumbled
"What's he doing in Chicago?" Flack asked Mac
"Probably trying to get back to Montana" Mac told him "I'm going to call the Bozeman PD and give them a heads up. You should go talk to Danny and Lindsay"
"Me?" Flack asked nervously
"What's the matter you afraid Danny wont take it well?" Mac asked him seriously even though Flack knew he was attempting to make a joke out of this dark situation "You'll be fine" he said then walked to his office
"Great" Flack mumbled walked towards the elevator
Staten Island
Danny and Lindsay took Lucy to the park and watched her from a near by bench as she played in the sand box.
"She seems really happy given everything she's gone threw these last few months" Lindsay noted and Danny laughed
"Of course she is! I would be to if my grandfather gave me a huge sack of toys"
"That's all she has right now" Lindsay reminded him "I wish Lucy would stop paying for our mistakes"
"I know what ya mean" Danny sighed resting his arm around Lindsay's shoulder still keeping a content eye on his daughter "But you know what? She's a lot like you. She doesn't sit around and cry and complain she just dusts it off and moves on"
"She's a baby Danny she probably doesn't even remember last week well" Lindsay teased
"Nah it's because she's have Messer and half Monroe" Danny told her "Speaking of Monroe's where is dear old Jason?"
"He went home" Lindsay told him and he nodded "He told me to tell you he's sorry"
"If he weren't your brother Linds-" Danny started
"I know Danny" Lindsay agreed quickly "He's got this knack for being obnoxious"
"And rude" Danny added then started to think "Arrogant, cruel and bossy"
"Yes" Lindsay agreed "He's just looking out for me"
"Well so am I" Danny told her as he watched a little boy approach Lucy and offer her a shovel to dig sand with him she smiled and started to play with him
"You're kidding me right?" Lindsay asked noticing Danny's entire body tensed
"What?" he asked in a casually tone
"She's barley three I doubt she's going to date the kid they're playing in sand" Lindsay told him but Danny didn't care
"He looks older then her" Danny said to Lindsay ignoring her last statement
"No he doesn't" Lindsay told him seriously after a few minutes of them playing closely Danny stood up abruptly "Danny" she warned
"What she needs to get cleaned up" he defended walking over to her "Lucy!" Danny shouted walked towards her to get her attention
"Wait until she's fifteen" Flack smirked from behind Lindsay who jumped "Sorry" he offered quickly
"Everything ok?" Lindsay asked him nervously
"Why wouldn't it be?" Flack questioned her back just as nervously. He certainly didn't want to be the barer of bad news especially with Danny's reaction to the last two incidents. He was a wild card and wasn't sure how he would respond
"I'm a detective too" Lindsay reminded him "Just tell me"
"Maybe will wait on Danny" Flack offered then took a seat next to her
"Dad-ee" Lucy said pointing at her little friend she made in the sand box
"I know baby but it's really late" Danny lied then saw Flack "Look at that Luce" he said pointing at Flack "it's Uncle Flack"
"Flack-ee" Lucy said with a smile now pointing at him
"Oh good Lucy" Flack smiled quickly placing Lucy in his arms
"What's going on?" Danny asked Lindsay nodding towards Flack
"I don't know but Flack was just about to tell me" Lindsay said turning slowly towards Flack
"I'm bonding with Lucy here" Flack said smiling down at Lucy who was grabbing at his nose
"Put her down" Danny told him
"I'm not going to just put her down" Flack said smiling at Lucy
"Put my daughter down, man up and tell us what happened" Danny warned smiling at Lucy
"Come here Luce" Lindsay said taking Lucy from Flack "You two talk, you can fill me in later" she said to Danny and Flack nervously watched Lindsay and Lucy walk away. He would have rather have told Lindsay who would have taken the news better. The last thing he wanted to tell Danny was that some sick nut job was hiring hookers that resembled his wife and dressing them like her to act out some sick violent fantasy
"Well" Danny encouraged impatiently
"Good news is Billy isn't in New York he's in Chicago" Flack started
"They got him?" Danny asked anxiously
"No but they know he's there so you guys are safe here" Flack told him coolly
"What's the bad news?" Danny questioned "And how did you know he was in Chicago?"
"Well that's part of the bad news" Flack started hesitantly "He hired an escort and roughed her up and assaulted her" he told Danny whose eyes had widened
"Oh my god" Danny mumbled "Is she alright?"
"She's going to make it a couple of cracked ribs and cuts on her face" Flack said to him "That's not all" he added slowly and Danny waited for him to continue "When he called to have this women meet him he was very specific about the type of women he wanted"
"Ok" Danny said confused and Flack sighed 'he's really going to make do this huh?' he asked himself
"Petite, short brown hair, pretty" Flack said slowly until Danny caught on
"She looked like Lindsay" Danny stated looking down at the ground, not sure how he should react
"He also provided her with clothing" Flack informed his friend
"Clothes he took from Lindsay?" Danny asked
"Yea there was her Bozeman high t-shirt and a pair of pants" Flack told him "I'm sorry"
"What are you sorry for?" Danny asked casually
"You're taking this better then I thought" Flack told him proudly
"Well I'm worried about Lindsay now more then I was before" Danny sighed taking a seat on the bench as did Flack
"Mac thinks he's heading back to Montana" Flack said to him "He's alerting the Bozeman PD as we speak"
"Or he decided his sick fantasy wasn't enough and he's backtracked to New York to live out the real thing" Danny said to Flack. Flack had thought of the possibilities before but didn't put much stock into it. But when Danny said it to him it made perfect sense. He would have to know they'd figure out he would go back to Montana. The last thing they'd suspect was him coming back to the State he was wanted in. Not only that Danny was right, he might be done with the fantasies and looking for the real thing.
"Everyone's working on it" Flack assured him "He wont get to Lindsay"
"I hope not" Danny said peering over his shoulder as he watched Lindsay push Lucy on the baby swing set
"This guy isn't equipped for any of this Danny" Flack started "Everything he has done including attacking Lindsay has been a last minute thing. Nothing he has done has been planned out or plotted"
"I have feeling you're all underestimating him" Danny told his friend seriously "Everyone is saying he's not smart, he doesn't know what he's doing- if that's the case then why don't we have him yet? We've arrested some of the most intelligent criminals in New York history in less time. He's doing something right"
"I know you want to work the case Danny" Flack started but Danny caught him off
"Of course I want to work it" Danny finished "But I know I can't"
"The Chicago police department are sending over a transcript of their interview with the girl. I'm sure Mac wouldn't mind letting you read it"
"How's that going to help me?" Danny questioned "I need in on this case"
"You heard Mac-" Flack started
"Talk to him for me" Danny pleaded slightly, he wasn't begging but he was desperate "Give me access to this case and I promise you I will have this guy by the end of the week"
"How can you be so sure you'll get him?" Flack asked
"I'm the most motivated, I have the most to loose" Danny told him
Danny's Parent's house
"Wow" was Lindsay's response to the story Danny had told her "I feel bad for the girl"
"So do I" Danny agreed "She's been real corporative which is good, they might get some leads from her"
"Yea" Lindsay told him unsurely
"What?" Danny asked her "Tell me what you're thinking"
"Well for the first time since this happened I'm scared" Lindsay told her husband honestly "I can't go on pretending to be strong like I'm not terrified"
"You have every right to feel afraid" Danny agreed "But you have to know Billy has an army of people to get threw before he can get to you"
"I feel like I'm just waiting for him to show up, I know he is" Lindsay told him "I have a really bad feeling"
"Well forget those feelings because forget the army, Billy would have to get threw me to get to you and I can promise you that will never happen. I'm going to keep you safe" Danny told her passionately "Believe me"
"I do" Lindsay smiled softly as a small tear fell from her eye and Danny quickly brushed it away
"None of that now" Danny said giving her a reassuring smile "I've worked way to hard to get to this point with you to loose you to some psycho alright?" he said trying to lighting the mood
"Did you ever think you would marry me?" Lindsay asked him
"Well I never thought I would ever get married to anyone" Danny said with a laugh "Then I met you and you wouldn't date me- at all- ever" he said causing her to laugh slightly "Then when you agreed to go out with me I thought this could work out- then you didn't show up. But when I jumped on that plane to Montana I knew two things. One- there was no way you were going to avoid me on a date if I traveled that far and Two- I was so in love with you that I knew at that moment you'd always be apart of my life"
"I knew that's why you came out there for a date" Lindsay teased
"Nah I came out there because you needed me" Danny told her seriously "You know a year before I met you Mac and I worked this case where a bride was killed and he told me love could happen to me and I laughed at him. Little did I know how close you were"
"You're a true romantic Messer" Lindsay said with a smile
"That I am" Danny agreed arrogantly pulling Lindsay into a hug "But don't tell anyone or it will ruin my image"
"Yea I'm sure people still fear tough Danny who runs around after his daughter playing dolls with her and having tea parties" Lindsay teased
"Hey no one knows that" Danny told her
"Everyone know it" Lindsay smiled "Thank you" she said pulling away and placing a soft kiss on his lips
