Well fans here is the next chapter sorry its taken so long to update I had a brain freeze and couldn't think of what to write next anyways enjoy…..

As the fire burns its way threw the factory Stella Don and Jess watch in horror unable to help there friends they start to face the fact that they will never see them again, as Don phones Sheldon who is back in New York he try's to figure out how to explain that there boss and two best friends have all died.

As the phone rings twice Sheldon answers,

"Hey Don what's up man any news on Danno and Linds"

"Sheldon I'm afraid its not good news we have lost Mac, Danny and Lindsay, we followed a lead to a disused factory Mac got captured then there was a huge fire, they have all gone" Sobs Don

"Oh no I swear we will get the men who did this we owe it to our friends, ill go let Adam and Sid know, speak to you later buddy give my love to Stella and Thalia"

As the men hang up the phone Sheldon makes his way to the morgue where he finds Adam and Sid.

The look on Sheldon's face is not good Sid can sense he is about to tell them bad news, as Sheldon approached his two colleagues he spoke very calmly and soft. " Hey Sid, Adam, I have some bad new for you, Mac, Lindsay and Danny where held captive in a disused factory when it caught fire, I'm afraid they have gone"

Overwhelmed with the sudden shock at the loss of there friends and boss Sid and Adam sit and try to take in the news" How did they get Mac" asks Sid. "I don't know they had a lead Mac got captured and then there was a fire, I cant believe they have gone" yells Sheldon as he hit's the wall causing his Knuckles to bleed. The three men vow to do what they can to catch however did this.

Back in Montana 3 bodies are recovered in the burnt out factory , as Stella watches the body bags being lifted in to the EMS truck she clings to Don for support, " Why Don why did this happen, I have lost the love of my life and two best friends" sobs Stella, as Don tries to comfort her he shield's his own emotions he needs to be strong for the girls.

The coroner walks over to where the grieving team are standing" We wont be able to identify the victims till tomorrow , the only way we can find out who they are is by dental records" as Stella looks at the man she nods " I understand we are CSI'S and know what the process involves, but we have one request that the bodies are flown back to New York please"

" That we can do for you, we will be in touch soon" The man shakes Don's hand as he walks away.

Stella turns to face Don and sees Lindsay's parents standing behind the CSI tape, walking over with Don she braces her self to tell the Monroe's that there only daughter had died.

"Pat, Lydia I'm sorry but we lost Lindsay and Danny, they got Mac also they have all gone" as Lindsay's mom sobs she clutches her husband as her legs give way, falling to the ground yelling " No my baby Lindsay why" as Pat try's to console his wife, he looks up at Stella, " What about the baby"

Suddenly Stella looks at Don, threw out all of the trauma she had forgot about baby Thalia she is orphaned at just a few months old.

"Well will do all we can to help with Thalia" Don replies, with Stella nodding her head in agreement.

Back in at the lab the news has spread everyone who worked or new the team has there own thoughts and emotions, as the chief walks in he approaches Sheldon " Hawks I'm deeply sorry for your loss, Taylor was a exceptional CSI and brave man, and both Monroe and Messer where very good at there job, the lab has suffered a huge loss and we will help you in any way we can"

" Thanks chief" replied Sheldon, " We are waiting for there bodies to be flown back for formal identification me and Sid will be doing that" the chief nods and acknowledges Sheldon before heading to the lift.

Stella Don and Jess all agree to stay with Lindsay's parents so that they can help with the baby and neither of them could face being alone just now, as Stella tends to the baby her Goddaughter she looks at the little girl and wonders what her and Mac's baby would have been like, but its something she will never know, and right now this little girl needs all the help she can get. Cradling the baby Stella sings a lullaby that Lindsay used to sing to get her to sleep, watching her eyes close Stella places her in the crib kissing her on the forehead.

Making her way down stairs Stella feels the vibration of her cell, looking at the caller ID it says Mac, " This cant be" gasps Stella, as she answers she says "Hello" but the line is quiet asking again " Hello Mac is that you " she whispers. Hearing a faint noise down the phone she waits for an answer hoping that mayby Mac survived, then the line goes dead.

Wondering if the mystery caller is Mac and that he survived the fire, or if it's the men who held them hostage and who have came back to finish the rest of the team off, Stella starts to worry for the safety of everyone in the house…………………………

Did Mac Lindsay and Danny survive or has indeed the men come to finish the job, what shall I do help me decide fans, I hope that you liked it promise it wont take as long to update next time Thanks xxx
