"Yeah Sweetie, Danny's your brother." Logan said smiling at Don.

Don smiled back and began to say. "I can't wrap…."

Logan's phone began to ring. "Sorry." She said. "Daniels…. REALLY?….Alright I'm on my way…Sure I'm pass that along. Bye!" Logan closed her phone. "That was Jessica I need to go and speak to a suspect."

"I'm coming." Don jumped up from his seat.

"No, Don you need to stay here for Danny and I think the person will talk more if your not there."

Don looked around at his sister, who nodded. "Okay I'll stay."

"I'll be back real soon." She told him giving him a kiss on the cheek and quickly left.

"I'm going to check on Danny." Mac said. "You want to join me." He turned and held out his hand to Nan Messer, she nodded taking the offered hand. "The rest of you stay here and try to relax." Mac said as he and Nan walked out.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once Logan got to her car she made another phone call. "Hey Joey…. I need you to grab the reports on Messer and Miro. Then meet me for an interrogation."

"Is that it?" Joey asked.

"For now."

"See you soon, then?"

"Yep see you in few minutes." Logan said snapping her phone shut, only to pop it open again. She quickly send a text message while waiting at a traffic light. "It's on!!"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

By the time Mac and Nan got to Danny's room his vitals had returned to within normal range.

"How's he doing Sheldon?" Mac asked watching Nan walk over to Danny's bed and taking his hand in hers. She and Nola acknowledge each other with head nods.

"Much better, now."

"That's good. Everyone wants to know how long it will be before he wakes up."

"Well Jerry, ah Dr. Hartney wants to do another CAT scan just to be sure that nothing has gone wrong in his head."

"If you think that's best." Mac commented.

"Can't hurt." Sheldon said shrugging his shoulders. "At least we'll know if there is anything that needs watching."

"What do you think happened?" Mac asked quietly.

"I think it was the shock of finding out who is real father is."

"Let's hope so. He doesn't need anything else to hold him back."

Logan met Joey just as both of them approached the interrogation room where Jessica was sitting with Thomas Wicks.

"Hey Joey."

Joey waved the files he had brought. "Hey Logan."

"Could you please go in, tell Jessica that I need to speak to her please."

Joey nodded and walked into the room. With in a few seconds Jessica came out.

"Hey Logan, what do you need?"

"First, where's Eric?"

"He's in the next room, Why?"

"I'll explain later. Second I need you to pick up Steve Russo."

"Who's that?"

"Tony's bodyguard/driver." Logan said handing over a piece of paper. "That's the address where you'll find him."

"Do you need me?" Jessica asked.

"I would rather you bring in Russo."

"Sure thing. Jones you stay with Detective Daniels. Behr you come with me."

"Oh Jessica."

"Yes."

"Let Russo know that I'm the one that is requesting his presence here."

Jessica gave Logan a strange look. "Okay sure." She said walking off.

"Officer Jones come with me please." Logan requested as she pushed opened the door to the interrogation room. "Hey Tommy how's life."

"Damn, Bitch." Thomas said

"Hey watch your language." Joey yelled.

"Or what touch guy you're going to attack a man in a wheelchair."

"It's okay Joey. Tommy here is all talk, always as been, always will be." Logan said with a laugh.

"You know nothing Lizzie." Tommy said irritated.

"I know that your son changed his name and worked as a mole for Ricky Miro."

"I don't know everything my son does."

"Oh please Tommy. You're a T-boy, you know Eric works for Ricky because you hooked them up."

"I did no such thing."

"We'll see, Tommy we'll see."

Tommy leaned back in his chair, crossed his arm and just laughed. "I ain't saying anything else until my lawyer gets here."

"That's fine Tommy." Logan said reaching over and tapping Joey on the arm . "Let's go talk to Eric."

Joey stood up and followed Logan out the door.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Danny heard voices that were distorted, running together. 'Who's talking? What are they saying? Speak up I don't understand.' Danny was trying to figure out what they were say. 'Wait something about another CAT scan. Something's gone wrong?' Danny felt someone holding his hands lightly and he squeezed them to let whoever it was know, that he was still there.

"Danny?" Nan asked. "He just squeezed my hand." She looked over at Nola.

"Me, too."

Sheldon and Mac moved to the foot of the bed.

'Mom, Aunt Nola.' He thought. 'Okay Messer time to wake up. No not Messer, Flack - I'm a Flack.' Danny thought allowing a single tear to run down his face.

"Shhhh, Danny it's okay sweetheart." Nola whispered in his right ear as she lovingly wiped the tear away. "We're all family, we're not going anywhere.

"Family." Danny whispered.

Mac reached down and laid a hand on Danny's right leg. "That's right Danny, family."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jessica and Officer Behr arrived at the address Logan had given them.

"Steve Russo?" Jessica asked the man who answered the door.

"Who wants to know?" The man asked looking at Officer Behr.

"You've got to be kidding me." Officer Behr stepped forward and placed a hand on the man's shoulder.

"Don't touch me."

"I'll handle this Officer Behr." Jessica said stepping between the two men. "Listen Mr. Russo we know who you are."

"Yeah, so."

"You're presence is requested down at the station."

"Are you asking or telling?" Steve growled.

"I guess we're telling." Jessica said stepping aside and letting Officer Behr to once again grab Steve by the shoulder.

"Take you hands off me." Steve yelled.

"Steve Russo your under arrest." Officer Behr said.

"For what, man?"

Officer Behr looked over at Jessica. "Detective?"

"Delinquent parking tickets." Jessica answered.

"Ah, come on you got to be kidding." Steve Russo said fighting Officer Behr, who was putting him in handcuffs.

Jessica was looking at her notebook. "Yeah that's the information that Detective Daniels gave me."

"Figures." Steve snorted.

"Let's go Russo." Officer Behr said leading Steve outside.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Where's my dad?" Eric asked jumping up as Joey and Logan walked into the room.

"Sit down!" Officer Jones commanded.

"I want to see my father."

"Calm down, Eric. You'll see your dad soon enough." Logan said walking over and taking a seat. "Have a seat and let's talk."

"About what?" Eric asked.

"Ricky?"

Eric paled at the mention of Ricky's name. "What about him."

"I know that you fed him information on the Daniel Messer case."

Eric shrugged looking down at his hands. "A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do."

Logan and Joey both rolled their eyes.

"Ricky just wanted some info on any of Taylor's crew, but especially Messer."

"Why?"

"I want my lawyer." Eric said.

"Not a problem, I'm assuming that it's the same person as your dad?" Logan asked.

Eric nodded.

"Let's go Joey."

"I'm right behind you." Joey said. "Oh by the way, Thomas. I've got a message from Mac Taylor."

"What is it?"

Joey leaned over the table and smiled. "You're fired."
