A/N: Okay guys I know it has been a very long time since I have wrote anything, I was in a really bad spot in my life and hit a real low, but I'm back now so let's see what we can do. Also I have changed the chapters from chapter 16 to this chapter. Please re-read those chapters. Thanks.
Lindsay and Danny decided they wouldn't' be able to ride with Aida without wanting to hold her. The ride to the hospital was very quiet. Once there they waited outside the room and watched as Stella processed Aida and Flack. Aida was down to her panties and Flack was in his under shirt when Stella looked at Lindsay and Danny and gave them a nod.
That was all Danny needed. He surprised everyone when he beat Lindsay into the room. He walked right up to Aida and held her as tight as he could with out hurting her. Then he handed her to Lindsay who looked her over and handed her back to Danny.
"Maw Maw and Paw Paw got boo-boo's." Aida said in a quiet voice that if she hadn't been right at Danny's ear he wouldn't have heard it.
Lindsay turned to Stella "You need some help with processing Dennis and Donna?"
Stella looked at Lindsay "You sure you don't want to stay here?"
Lindsay looked at Danny and he nodded his head. "I want to find the ass holes that did this to my family."
With that Stella and Lindsay left to go process.
"Do you remember anything that happened?" Mac asked Dennis who had a major concussion and some broken bones.
"There was a knock at the door. Aida was watching TV and Donna was in the kitchen making her a snack. I got up to answer it. When I looked in the peep hole I noticed it was a couple of uniformed officers. I opened the door thinking something had happened. I know now if something did happen someone in the family would have come." Dennis shook his head. "It happened so fast. I opened the door, and before I could say anything one of the guys pushed me back into the room and started to hit me. I yelled at Donna, but the other one ran into the kitchen. I heard Donna scream at Aida to go hide."
"She did, she went into your room and hid under the bed in the corner, but she was covered in blood."
"Yeah, after it was over and they left she came out, but someone knocked on the door and she ran. That poor child, we are in for a long healing process." Dennis said as he looked up at the tile."
"We will get through this." Mac said.
"I'm talking about Aida. She will never trust a cop and lord only knows what she is going to do every time someone knocks on her door." Dennis said and Mac got what he meant. The physical bruises would heal, but the emotional scars for that little three year old would last forever.
Lindsay sat by Donna and held her hand while Stella went about processing her and her bagging her clothes.
"It was all so fast." Donna saying "There was the knock then Dennis yelled. Before I know what was happening one of the guys was in the kitchen. I yelled for Aida to run. The guy left me and went after Aida. I think he grabbed her because she yelled."
Donna took in a deep breath. "The man came back without Aida holding his arm. I noticed she bit him. I don't think I'll get on to her for biting anyone again." Donna laughed. "Anyways, that was when he started to hit me. After a while I played dead, I couldn't believe when it worked. I heard one say something about showing someone that they messed with the wrong guy when they sent a good cop to prison a couple years ago.
Stella looked at Donna "Do you think they were police officers?"
Donna nodded. "While the one was hitting me his radio went off."
Stella couldn't believe it. "Do you remember what the radio said?" If they could find out what was said then they would have a district to look at.
"Something about a B&E just a couple from our house, and then they laughed saying something about that would keep them busy."
Lindsay had to leave the room. This was a couple of their own and they had struck out in revenge of something that had happened years ago.
Lindsay found Mac and told him what Donna had said.
"I think I know who the cop was. Before you came on board we had a case of kids turning up dead in the area. After working for days, we found a clue. We traced it back to a beat cop in the area. When we searched his house the evidence was overwhelming. We jailed him and he was found guilty. We got a lot of heat for it being one of us. Most cops were on our side. Of course there is always that small percentage that believes no matter what the person was innocent."
"Well, they believed they killed them. I bet if we gave them a line up of pictures they could point them out." Lindsay said she couldn't wait to get her hands on these guys.
She knew once they were caught no one would be on their side. After Aida had gotten lost in Central Park every cop in New York knew her and loved her. Except two.
Mac went to find Stella and go get those pictures of the cops that had attacked them.
Danny was being kept up to date by phone and by Flack who would not leave. Aida had finally fallen asleep.
"So it was definitely some beat cops." Flack was saying into the phone. "Okay thanks Mac."
Danny had not taken his eyes off Aida the whole conversation. "You know it is not going to be long before they know they all survived." Danny said.
"That is why Mac and Stella put Hawkes in front of Dennis' room." Don said.
"Who is with Donna?" Danny asked
"Zack"
"Good, so how good was he while I was gone?"
Don knew he was just trying to make small talk. "He did a really good job. Wasn't too sure of him self at first, but came around. Some of his contacts on the street have been helpful in a couple of cases. But don't worry Danny he is not your replacement. Mac was looking to add someone to the group before all this happened."
"Yeah, I know" Danny said finally taking his eyes off Aida.
"Well, I'm gong to go out in the hall and start my watch." Flack said heading for the door.
"Your watch" Danny asked
"Yeah, who do you think is going to watch Aida? You don't' have your gun." Don said as he opened the door and stepped out.
Danny just sat their thinking. There has been way too much in this poor child's life. First her mom, then I get hurt, and now Dennis and Donna. What am I going to do?"
