"Excuse me... could you please tell me how Peter is doing?" asked Stella.
"He's still in surgery. The doctor should be out shortly," said the nurse.
Walking back to the waiting room, Mac asked.
"Anything love?"
"Not yet. He's still in surgery. Is Sheldon still processing with Camilla?"
"I'm not sure, love. Hopefully. We need to find a clue, or some answers. Especially with Rachel in our morgue," said Mac.

Meanwhile...
In the Trauma room, Don asked the doctor and nurse to give them their five minutes alone. Once they were gone, Don leaned down to Danny's ear and whispered...
"Listen to me, Danno. I need answers. Right now Jamison is getting away with murder. What happened Danno?" asked Don.
Trying to fight the sedation Danny said...
"Maaaaap... Peter... Map... dirty mon...ey and dr..ugs...." Danny mumbled out. "He's... af..ter the money... Peter's... back... map..."
Don couldn't figure out what Danny was trying to say.
"What map, Danno?" he asked again.
"Peter'... back... a map..." said Danny as he passed out.
"Okay detective, we need to stitch him now. You're going to have too leave." said the doctor.
Bending down lower to Danny's ear, Don whispered... "I love you, Danny. I promise I'll be back. I love you."
Feeling Danny squeeze his hand, Don knew he would be alright.
Walking back out, Mac asked...
"Well... what did you get, Don?"
"I don't know. Danny kept talking about a map, Peter, and his back."
Stella started putting things together. "What else did he say?" asked Stella.
"Something about dirty money and drugs." said Don.
"So we have Peter, his back, a map, dirty money and drugs." Stella thought about it a little longer. Then Adam said...
"Whoa... what if Peter had a map on his back? Maybe that's what Jamison, cut off. Don't we take pictures of all prisoners? Peter was arrested when he was younger, we should have his picture in the data base." said Adam. I'm going to run to the lab, I'll be back soon." said Adam.
"Do you think Peters was dirty, Mac?" asked Don.
"I don't know what to think right now. Obviously something went on between Peters and Jamison. We are going to have too wait ,till Danny or Peter wake." said Mac.
"It may be too late by then, Mac. Jamison could have whatever he's looking for by then." said Don.
"I can tell you, Don. He won't get far. We have half the cops blocking the exits out of New york." said Stella.
"Cops can be bought off, Stella. We've already seen that. We need to find him now, and just how long does it take Adam to find a damn picture?" said Don getting upset again.
"Listen Don. Let's go get a coffee," said Stella.
.................................................
Sitting in his car, Jamison was trying to figure out the map. Problem was... he couldn't remember which way the top faced. He was in such a hurry that he didn't check which was north, south, east and west. Leaving him confused.
"God damn it. You stupid idiot, Jamison." he called himself. "Well... only one way too go. North first." he said as he drove North five miles like the map read.
Coming to a huge group of buildings, he knew he had the wrong place. "Looks like we try east, now." he said as he changed direction. Coming to another group of buildings, he was getting pissed. Heading west, he knew there was only south left if this one didn't work out.
..............................................
Once Adam had the information he needed, he called Mac instead of running back.
"Taylor."
"Mac... it's Adam. The map on Peter's back. Leads to an abandoned warehouse on the west side. I'm heading there now." said Adam.
"Adam... you come get us first. I don't want you there by yourself. I already have one detective down. I don't need a lab tech too." said Mac.
"Okay, I'll be right there." said Adam as he took off from the lab.
Hanging up the phone, Mac turned to Stella.
"I need you to stay here, love. Someone has to keep us informed about the boys." said Mac.
"That's fine. Just go. Make sure you when you capture Jamison, you torture him for me." said Stella.
"I'm going to pretend I didn't hear that love. We'll be back soon." said Mac as they left the Hospital.
When they arrived at the warehouse, they could hear Jamison cursing. slowly making there way to the back end, Jamison placed his hands in the air.
"It's not here. All that God damn waiting, and killing for nothing. It's not here. I just don't get it. I read the map, yet it's not here." Jamison said over and over as Mac cuffed him.
"You have the right to remain silent..." said Don as he escorted Jamison from the building to the waiting squad car. When he neared the door, Don said... I'll make sure every guy in prison knows where to find you. I make sure they know your section, and schedule. I'll see you tortured till the day you die, or till the day they kill you." Pushing him into the squad car, Don didn't move from his spot. His only concern making sure Jamison didn't escape.
.......................................
Back inside the warehouse, Sheldon was looking at the picture of the map Adam had copied. Turning it on a 90 degree angle, facing north, he seen the arrow point to the south, back wall. Walking over, he seen a pile of old wodden crates buried deep in the back of larger ones. Looking carefully he noticed four of them were marked with a tiny black dot. Opening the first one, he seen the crate full of drugs. Everything... weed, cocaine, crystal, you name it, the drug was there.
"Wow... talk about a druggies paradise Mac. I found it." said Sheldon.
Walking over, they started tearing apart the four crates that were marked. Inside each one was drugs and money, piled and sectioned off in groups of thousands.
"I'm going to make the call Mac. We need to get this stuff back to the lab."
"Okay Sheldon. Good catch by the way." said Mac.
Nodding thanks, Sheldon made the call.
.........................................
Later that day, with Jamison safely behind bars, the money and drugs safely locked away. Mac and the team headed back to the Hospital to check on Peter and Danny.
