"Hey kid." Don called out upon see Joey.
Joey offered a small smile and a wave. "How's Danny?"
"Hanging in there."
"That's good." Joey said sadly.
"Listen Joey don't worry everything is going to work out."
"I'm not too sure, Don. Someone has to take the fall for not turning in all the reports to your father."
"Mac's talking to my father right now."
"He is?"
"Yeah kid he is and Logan said she'll go to bat for you also."
"That's good to know."
Suddenly Don's phone rang. "Flack…Hey you……Yeah sure, I'm at the crime lab talking to Joey…Alright I'll wait here then….See you soon, bye."
Joey just looked at Don.
"That was Logan, she got a list of names from your brother she wants checked out."
"Really?"
"Yeah. I got to go and meet her and get things rolling on this guys."
"You know there's a list of suspects in Ricky's case. But no ones been able to located them."
"Grab that list and meet me at my desk."
"On my way." Joey said.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"It's simple Taylor someone has to pay for this MAJOR mistake." Chief Flack growled.
"Someone will, Sir. On my terms." Mac growled back.
"Just make sure someone does."
"I promise to correct the problem. I just need to keep the people I have for right now."
"Whatever Taylor, just close those cases one way or the other."
"Yes, Sir." Mac said snapping to attention and tossing off a salute.
"Very funny Taylor. Just do your job or I'll get ready of you and all your team once and for all."
"Don't worry Danny and the rest of us will make you proud." Mac said with a slight smile.
"Get out Taylor!" Chief Flack yelled. "Get the hell out."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hey Flack you've got one hot blond chick waiting to see you." Officer Jones said with a wink.
"Really?" Don said excited quickly his steps slightly. "Thanks."
Don began to straighten his tie and run his hands through his hair as he approached his desk. He also noticed that almost everyone was watching him.
"May I help you?" He asked approaching his desk seeing a blond with a large floppy hat and dark sunglasses.
"I'm hope so." She said in a sultry voice.
"You tell me what you need for me to do?" He asked his mouth dropping open as he took in her beauty.
"I need for you to close your mouth."
"Excuse me?"
"Close your mouth Donnie."
"Logan?"
The blond finally broke out into a smile, removing her hat and glasses.
"Where's the info you said you got?" He asked as the entire room broke out into whoops of laughter. "Why don't all of you get back to work."
Heads nodded all over the room as people got back to work, but still tried to keep an eye on what happened between Logan and Don.

Lindsey had been in Danny's room waiting for him to wake up for the past 45 minutes and as she stood looking out the window she heard the sound of someone moving around on the bed.
"Danny?" She whispered reaching out and touching his hand.
"Hmm, no." He mumbled pulling away from her touch.
"Sh, it's okay Danny. It's me."
"Ugh, Montana?"
"Yeah."
Danny let out a long breath and smacked his lips together trying hard to wake up.
"Take it easy baby."
Danny let loose a big yawn.
"Boy I bet you're glad your jaws aren't wired shut anymore.
"Yeah." He said sleepily. "How long have I been a sleep?"
"Going on three hours."
"Oh. Where's Don?"
"He's with Logan tracking down a new lead."
"Oh." Danny sounded disappointed.
"Oh Danny don't." Lindsey said patting his hand. "You know Don loves you and if he could be here, he would."
"I know. What about Mac?"
"Huh, he had to go down to the station."
"Because?"
"Not sure." She lied.
"What about everyone else."
"Here waiting to see you."
Danny smiled. "Can you get Sheldon for me, please?"
"Of course." Lindsey said rushing from the room. "Sheldon, Sheldon!"
"Lindsey, what's wrong?" He asked rushing up to her.
"Danny's awake and he wants to see you."
"Okay everyone just hang tight. I'll get back to you in just a couple minutes."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mac his phone from his pocket as soon as he exited the elevator.
"Hey Stella, I'm just calling to check on Danny….That's good….Yeah, I've spend the last two hours with Chief Flack…..No, no I'm still in one piece……Yeah he was very angry, but I've convinced him that I would handle it after these two cases are closed. Yes Stella I'll take care of myself." Mac said smiling to himself. "I'll be right back there as soon as I can….Let Danny know that I'm on my way. Bye."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Look at the names all this list?" Logan said handing it to Don.
"I know most of the names on this list." Don said shaking his head.
"Me too and all but three of them have had some kind of connection to the T-Boys."
"Which three?"
"Mark Harris, Paul Black and Gary Wilson."
"You know anything about any of them?"
"No." Logan shook. "But I seem to recall seeing these three names somewhere?"
"You know come to think about it so have I?"
"Hey guys." Joey called out as he approached Don's desk.
"That's it." Don said suddenly. "You have that list, Joey?"
"Yeah, here it is? Why?"
Don took the list and quickly located what he was looking for. "Here it is? Mark Harris, Paul Black and Gary Wilson."
Joey looked over Don's shoulder at the list Josh had given them. "Whoa that's a lot of names."
"I would like to have all these people brought in for questioning." Logan said.
"I'll make plans to have them picked up first thing in the morning." Don said.
Logan smiled that will give us a chance to come up with some 'incriminating' evidence.
"And how do we do that?" Joey asked.
"The first thing we do is to pull in the entire team."
"And the second?"
"Finding something that will bring a bad guy or two to justice."
"I'll go and pull all the evidence we have on these two cases." Joey said.
"You do that Joey." Logan said and turn to face Don. "Why don't you go to the hospital and let the team know they're needed back here and then you stay and see your brother."
Don smiled. "Yeah I would really like to spend sometime with Danny."
"Then why don't you do that since tomorrow is going to be a very busy day."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Well Thomas your ride won't be back for until morning so you might as well get comfortable for the night." Mark said.
"Does it matter what room I call my own?" Eric asked.
"The one on the left near the end of the hall." Mark suggested pointing down the short hallway.
Eric stood up reached over and picked up Danny's gun, before heading to bed.
"I'll keep that for now." Mark said grabbing the gun from Eric.
"Hey not a problem." Eric said. "You're apparently speaking for the boss after all."
"Yeah, whatever." Mark turned his back on Eric and put the gun back in the drawer he got it from. "Just go to bed and tomorrow you'll be out of here."
