25

Lindsey yawned. Danny knew she was tired. He had noticed it for a few days now. Maybe she's not sleeping well at night. I know all too well how that goes. Maybe that's all it is. The doctors said she needs rest so it can't be too serious but why won't she just tell me that. I wouldn't care. It happens to me all the time but then again I'm I guy.

He watched as she leaned her head back on the front seat. "The seat goes ba…" how can I say that after she… he was going to apologize but she already had her seat leaned back with her eyes closed. Well, then… he said to himself. He drove to his apartment taking the time to go a long way to see if he was being followed but not a thing. Should I wake her up? Or should I just… Lindsey started to stir some but didn't open her eyes. That answers my question. He pulled back out into traffic. We will drive around. Danny decided to go to the park. He parked and leaned back his chair. That's more like it.

Samantha hesitated at the door. Should I be doing this? I mean what if I'm followed or shot at. I don't have a car for protection. She sighed, now I feel like my brother. She closed her eyes and breathed in heavily what my brother goes through everyday. "Move it." Yelled somewhere coming out the door. Is this really going to work, she shook. I don't think it will but here goes. She walks through the double doors.

"A cleaning crew for our booking cell?" asked the chief officer at the front desk.

"We never have before."

"Yes, well a Mac Taylor sent me." The officer looked her up and down. Never sent a

woman before but I guess he had to do what he had to.

"What are you actually looking for?"

"Anything out of the ordinary, dirt, fibers, prints…."

"Say no more all that lab jumble screws with my head." The officer led her to the booking cell. "No one has been in it for awhile. Just that kid…the kid Flack brought in a couple of days ago. I don't think you'll find much, but you welcome to it." He unlocked the cell.

"Just call when you finished." He pointed a phone on the wall. Then disappeared out of sight. That was easy enough. Samantha descended the staircase slowly using her flashlight, "This is too spooky." She swallowed. She placed her hand on her pendant. "I going to see Angel after all these years. How is she going to react to seeing me?"

She went down farther and farther.

Mac, Stella, Hawkes enter the lab lobby, "Now what do we do since we are being followed." Asked Stella as she walked towards the one of the lab offices. "We can't just sit here and do nothing."

"We stay put here and go over what we know." Mac responded.

"Mac," Adam called as he walked down the hall, after hearing them come in. "I just got a strange phone call from uh...Jamerson in booking. Something about a cleaning crew in the booking cell? I didn't know of any so I told him that you would get back with him." He stared at Mac.

"Did you send one?" Stella asked confused.

"Oh my clean up crew, yes."

"What?" everyone said at once and then stared over at him. Mac ignored the stares. He went right for his office and picked up the phone. Everyone followed him.

"What is going on?" Hawkes whispered to Stella. She just shook her head.

"Not a clue, something he set up no doubt." Mac told Jamerson that he did indeed sent one of his crew members down there to collect evidence for him.

"I just let her do her thing but I just wanted to make sure that you really sent one here.

Something weird is happening around here. I can never be to cautious."

"That's true and she's one of mine." Mac placed the phone down and looked up as Adam burst through the door.

"I can't get Danny to answer his house phone. I called three times, just the answering machine."

"Are you sure?" Stella looked worried but Mac didn't he knew Danny would call back.

"Yes, I left one message but he didn't call me back. Is he…" now panic went through Mac's mind. I told Danny to go straight there. I….

"Did you try Lindsey's number?"

"Dialing it now." Adam punched in Lindsey's number in the phone. It just kept ringing and ringing. He shook his head. "Nothing."

"Mac I'm worried where…." Stella commented as she stared getting closer to Mac.

"Now Stella we don't know…." The phone by Mac rang, which made everyone jump.

"Mac Taylor, yes, missing what? Vanished into thin air, are you sure?" Mac sighed. "No one can vanish um….just keep watch there, she will show back up, ok bye." This time he placed the phone down gently.

"Vanished, was that Lindsey?" Stella questioned hoping that it wasn't.

"No, the cleaning crew lady I sent over to help get some evidence." Who could that be? Stella thought. I mean most of us are right here. Um…he didn't use Flack's sister…na he wouldn't do that. On the other hand….she shook the thought.

"She probably stepped out for a minute. I mean no one just goes vanishing."

Mac already knew where she went. She started off good, now let's see if she can finish.

"Anyway, I'll have patrol go to Danny's apartment and look around." Mac made his phone call when Sid entered.

"How are things going up here? I heard about the second shooting. Are any of us safe? I mean…"

"Staying here we are." Hawkes commented. "They don't seem to come in." he looked at Sid "except that one time. They haven't tried it again."

"I did some digging on the two men that," he sighed. "that got shot in my office. I found out that there are only a few members left like three to be exact, of the tanglewoods. Danny's brother and Sonny Sassone, were in the first set. The second set had three-left use to be five. So if we can find the other three…."

"That's why we couldn't see them then, second time cause they used another car to follow us not the green van. Um…"
