Mac watched as Flack led Lindsay into the lift, he gave them a small wave as the door closed. "Oh Mac" Jo sighed from where she stood behind him "This world can just be so darn cruel, can't it?"

"Well certainly the people in it can be, Jo"

"I just hate seeing her like that, she's normally so happy and bubbly"

Mac nodded "I'm going to find Hawkes, see what he's found out for me. Can you find Adam and see if he can do a search on this Owen Laurence"

"Okay" Jo replied before heading to the AV lab.

Mac made his way to the trace lab where Hawkes had the clothes all spread out on the light table "Found anything?"

"Nothing" Hawkes replied "A few stray hairs but they came back as having epithelials in common with Lindsay and Danny"

"So they're Lucy's"

Hawkes nodded "That's it though, Mac, there is no other trace on any of this"

"Not even the soles of the shoes?"

"No" Hawkes picked one up and turned it over "It looks like they got a good clean before they were sent to us"

"This guy is good" Mac said with a hint of anger in his voice "He is making sure he is only letting us know what he wants us to know. That's why he left the hair, he wanted us to know it was Lucy but he cleaned the shoes so we wouldn't be able to pick up any trace from them that could lead us to where her and Danny are"

"We'll find them" Hawkes told him.

"I know, we've just had Lindsay in and she may have just identified are suspect"

"Really?"

"Yeah, an ex from her childhood, they didn't part on the best of terms by the sounds of it but the last time she spoke to him was when she was 16"

"Wow, people really know how to hold a grudge, don't they?"

"Yes unfortunately they do. I've got Adam and Jo running checks on him now so hopefully we should be able to find an address or something soon"

"Not to say he'll be there"

"No, but it'll lead us one step closer to him" Mac replied

"That's very true. I didn't even ask, how was Lindsay?"

"She's struggling" Mac told him.

"Which is to be expected"

"I'm just glad she's has Flack there to lean on"

"Yeah, she needs someone. I'll try to pop round after work later"

"I think she'd like that" Mac smiled.

Adam and Jo sat in the AV lab, Adam had typed Owen's name into the database and they were now just waiting, hoping that he would be in the system somewhere. "These always seem to take so much longer when you are desperate for the information" Jo sighed.

"Yeah, I wonder why that is? Maybe it's because you are waiting around the machine hoping for it to pop up"

"Probably" Jo replied, she wasn't in the mood to deal with Adam and his rambles today.

"I just hope it does come up with something because if it doesn't we are straight back to square one aren't we? Well I guess not straight back, I mean we would have his name to go on, but you can't really do much with a name, can you? I guess Lindsay could..."

"Adam" Jo snapped

"Sorry, rambling again" he mumbled.

"No... no I'm sorry, I just... this case is hard Adam."

"It's always hard when it's one of our own Jo and it's even harder when there is a child involved too"

Jo nodded "I just wish there was more we could do"

"We're doing all we can" Adam told her reassuringly.

The screen then binged causing them both to look up. "It's found him"

"Owen Laurence" Adam read from the screen "Wow, don't you think he looks a bit like Danny?"

Jo looked at the screen and had to admit to her self there was a slight resemblance there "Adam. Just tell me if it has an address for him"

"It does, it says he's been living at 25A Oak Street"

"That's not far from where Lindsay and Danny live" Jo exclaimed. "Does it say what he is on the system for? Just so we know what we're dealing with"

"Erm... just robbery and one case of assault. Seems a bit of a leap from that to kidnapping"

"No, these things can progress like that" Jo told him. "I need to find Mac and let him know what we've found"

"Okay" Adam replied.

Danny walked through central park with Lindsay, they were holding hands and laughing over a joke he'd just told. leaning down he kissed her cheek "You look beautiful"

"Thank you" she blushed.

"We should get home soon, Lucy will be expecting us"

Lindsay nodded "Let's head back"

They took the next path on the left, that lead to the exit of the park, trees ran along both sides. "This is Lucy's favourite part of the park" Danny told his wife.

"It is?"

"Yeah, she's loves playing hide and seek along here"

"I can imagine, I swear she just loves hiding full st..." Lindsay stopped when a man from behind grabbed her. She kicked and screamed trying to get out of his grasp "Danny!"

"Lindsay!" Danny shouted as he tried to pull the man from her.

"Danny, help me!"

Another man appeared from nowhere and this one had a long silver knife in his hand. Danny tried to intervene before the man could reach Lindsay. Making a feeble grab for the knife, he managed to get hold of the blade but the man yanked it out of his grasp, Danny could feel his palm being split open, the pain was unbearable but he knew it was nothing compared to what Lindsay was going through.

He watched helplessly as both men beat her and stabbed her over and over. He could see flecks of his wife's red blood flying off the knife and landing on the path in front of him every time the knife was raised. Danny ripped off his sleeve and wrapped it around the wound on his hand. After doing so he looked round, he needed a weapon, anything to try to stop these savages beating his wife. He spotted a rock at the side of the path, picking it up he ran towards the men with it but as quickly as they appeared, they were gone.

All the remained was his wife, she stood up from where she was sat on the path and dusted herself off. She didn't seem to notice the crimson red blood that was dripping from the multiple stab wounds she'd received. Danny reached out and placed his hand on Lindsay's cheek, she was ice cold.

"Oh god, Lindsay! What did they do to you?" Danny panicked.

"I'm okay, Danny" She whispered.

"No you're not. Look at all the blood, we need to take you to the hospital"

"No Danny, I'll be okay. You need to save yourself and Lucy" Lindsay told him as she began to fade away.

"Lindsay?" Danny tried to reach for her but his fingers just went straight through where she'd been standing

"Look after Lucy, Danny" Lindsay repeated again before disappearing completely.

"Lindsay!" Danny screamed.

Suddenly his eyes opened, his head was pounding, he was sweating and his body felt numb. Looking around he tried to work out where he was "Lindsay?" he murmured to which there was no reply. Slowly sitting himself up he leant against the wall. Slowly he began to remember where he was and what had happened, Lindsay was dead. He could feel the tears forming in his eyes. Looking around the room again he spotted the two cups, the blue one was laid on its side with its contents spilt out next to it while the pink one stood up right on the floor. The pink cup. Lucy. Danny panicked, Lucy was here, she was meant to be here with him. He looked around the room frantically trying to spot his blonde haired little girl, but he knew he wouldn't find her, he knew she was gone aswell.
