Danny sat in the lab, waiting for his result list. He was finishing up some other tests Mac had asked him to do, since Danny wasn't taking a break. Then GCMS beeped next to him. Danny looked at the computer screen next to the machine. The last person to use the machine was Hawkes. Danny's brow furrowed and he slid in front of the screen. Danny brought up the test results and read them over. A smile formed across his face. He printed the test results and started bringing up the information he'd need.

Danny heard the door to the lab open, but he was too engrossed in this new piece of evidence, he didn't bother to look up. The person who'd entered walked further into the lab. Danny could hear the footsteps carry up behind him.

"What's up, Danny?" Stella asked.

"Hawkes' results on the paint chip." Danny smiled.

Stella looked closer at the screen. "A 2010 Chevy Camaro."

"A red Chevy Camaro." Danny continued. "There's only a few of these out now."

"So you're working on a list of names of who purchased one of these cars?" Stella assumed.

Danny nodded. "And hopefully, one of the names will be on my list of unobtainable polo's."

Stella smiled. "Excellent. Need help?"

"Absolutely, two lost as one time ain't easy, you take the polo's." Danny answered.

"You got it." Stella slid into the chair beside Danny and continued with the list of names. There were only four names so far, and the computer was almost done with the compilation of names. Stella bit her bottom lip. This was big break in the case. She could practically see them breaking in a door to find Lindsay and Lucy.

The computer beeped with the full list of names. A total of five names were listed for the brand of polo's. Stella quickly printed the list and waited for Danny's list. The second list had eight names so far, as much as she'd expect for cars. Stella began comparing names form her list with the names still compiling onto Danny's list. Unfortunately, she wasn't getting any matches.

"I'm going to let Mac know what we've got." Stella said. She set the list down beside Danny.

"Alright. I'll meet up with you once the computer's finished." Danny replied.

Stella nodded and left the lab. Danny looked at the screen. His heart beet frantically. They'd finally caught a break in the case. Danny tapped his fingers against the table, waiting for the list to finish.

The computer finally finished and Danny printed off the list. Danny compared the lists to each other. He went over every name from the polo list to the car list, until he found a match. Danny smirked and jogged out of the lab. Mac and Stella were walking through the hall. Danny could hardly hear what Stella was saying before he caught up to them.

"I got a match on the lists." Danny said. He passed the lists to Mac. "A Walter Hunt works for the polo company and he recently purchased a red 2010 Camaro."

Mac nodded. "Stella, call Flack and have him get Hunts address. I want you two talking with him."

"Mac-"

"Danny I don't them to know you're onto them. We might scare them into hiding Lindsay and Lucy further." Mac explained.

Danny nodded. "Got it."

Mac turned to Stella. "Get on it."

"Right." Stella headed off down the hall bringing out her phone.

Mac turned back to Danny. "Danny, you've been working ten hours straight, go take a break."

Danny shook his head. "I'm good, Mac. I don't need a break."

Mac gave Danny a hard look. "Don't it an order, Danny. Take ten minutes."

Danny nodded giving up the fight. He headed down to the break room.

Mac turned and headed back for his office. Hawkes came through the halls in a rush. "What's wrong Hawkes?"

"The belts were tampered with." Hawkes said.

"What?" Mac asked.

Hawkes nodded. "I compared the belts to the car with the original manufacturing belts, and the drivers' belt was tampered with."

Mac folded his arms. "So the driver might've been a target?"

Hawkes shook his head. "I think this was a murder attempt on them."

Mac frowned.

Hawkes motioned toward the lab. "I compared the passenger belt to the original and I discovered that it had been tampered with as well. If that belt had been strung any tighter, Danny would've died in the car merely from the impact. Lindsay's belt was designed to unlock in the crash, causing more damage to her."

"So if it failed, why take Lindsay?" Mac asked.

Hawkes shook his head. "I don't know. To me, this whole case doesn't make since."

"Let's hope Flack and Stella can get some information." Mac said.
