When Mac walked into the bar, Jo thought she would burst into tears. She covered her mouth and tried to keep herself composed. She had not thought she would be this overwhelmed. She fanned her face with a napkin as she watched Mac walk over to the bar.

"I need to pick up my motorcycle," Mac said. "I left it here last night."

"Right," the bartender said. "Hey, Marty, that guy with the motorcycle is here."

Marty came over to the bar, glancing at Don. Don was watching as Marty went over to Mac and they started outside. Marty had told Don where they would be going and how to get there from inside. As soon as Mac was out the door, Don, Danny and Jo jumped up and ran for the door behind the bar that led to the storeroom. "You okay?" Danny asked as he looked at Jo.

"Yes," Jo replied. "I just lost it for a minute."

They went into the store room and saw the motorcycle. They hid so that Mac would not see them as soon as he came in. They heard someone unlocking the door and could hear Marty talking. The door opened and Marty and Mac came in. "There she is," Marty said.

Mac walked over to the motorcycle and got the helmet. Then Jo stepped out so he could see her. "Mac," she said.

Mac was startled. He backed up a step. "Who are you?" he asked.

"It's me, Jo. Mac, we want to help you."

Mac backed up another step and Don and Danny came out. "Mac, just take it easy," Don said.

Suddenly, Mac turned and ran. Don grabbed his radio off his side as they went after Mac. "He's running!" Don exclaimed.

Don, Danny and Jo got out into the alley and saw Mac running toward the left. They went after him. Mac ran all the way to the end of the alley and ran across the street and into the next alley. Don and the others were running and trying to catch up.

Don started to get closer to him as Mac turned down another alley. "Mac!" Don yelled. "Stop!"

Mac was scared to death. He ran down the next alley and darted into an old hotel building. He ran up the stairs and Don was coming after him and Danny and Jo were not far behind. Mac got into one of the hotel rooms and locked the door. He ran over to the window but he could not raise it. Don kicked the door open. As he came into the room, Mac whirled around and drew a weapon.

Don pulled his weapon out as did Jo and Danny. "Mac!" Don said. "Put the gun down and let us help you!"

Mac's hand was shaking. "Get away from me!" he yelled. "Stop talking to me like you know me!"

"Mac, we do know you," Jo said.

Mac stared at her. "You were at the house before!" he said.

"Yes, and we were looking for you."

Don put his weapon away. "Mac, you can't do this," he said as he stepped closer to him.

Mac aimed the weapon at Don. "Don't come any closer!" Mac said with his hand shaking. "Just go away!"

"We're not going to let you go." Don stepped closer. "I don't believe you can shoot me."

"You wanta bet!" Mac shot up at the ceiling and then aimed the weapon at Don again. "Stay away!"

Jo realized Mac was opening a pouch on his belt and she saw him taking a pill out. "Don, he's taking something!" she yelled.

Don forgot about the weapon as he saw Mac put something into his mouth. He tackled Mac and grabbed his throat so he could not swallow the pill. "Spit it out!" Don yelled.

Danny got over to them. "Turn him over!" he yelled.

They turned Mac over as Don kept holding his throat to keep him from swallowing that pill. He shook Mac. Danny stuck his finger in Mac's mouth and got the pill out. By this time, Mac was almost passed out from Don holding his throat. They all relaxed a bit and tried to get their breath back and get their fear under control. "He was gonna commit suicide," Danny said.

Don thought he would burst into tears. He picked Mac up and hugged him as the others got around them. "Well, he's safe now," Jo said as she was crying. She could not believe how close they came to losing him.

"Let's get him up on the bed," Danny said.

They got Mac up and laid him on the bed. Don made sure there were no more pills in that pouch but there was nothing. Just then, the hotel owner came in. "Hey," he said. "What's going on in here?"

Don showed him his badge. "Police business," he said.

Don called in the emergency as he looked out the window and took a deep breath. He was glad this was over and now they would go and get that woman too and he was sure they would find the jewels there too. Melinda Holmes thought she was invincible and untouchable but she would find out different. She had messed with the wrong person now.

Don put his phone away and realized Mac was stirring. Suddenly, he sat straight up on the bed. He tried to get off the bed but Don and Danny kept him on it. "Stay still," Don said.

"Let me go!" Mac said, almost begging. "You have to let me go! I have to get back to Melinda!"

"No," Danny said. "You relax. We're going to get you some help."

Mac tried to get away from them again. He got his arms away from them and grabbed the knife off his side. "NO!" Don yelled as he realized Mac was going to try and cut his wrists.

Don and Danny grabbed Mac and wrestled him down on the bed. "Let me go!" Mac yelled.

Just then, Jo came back into the room and saw what was going on. "Mac!" she yelled as she got over to the bed. "Mac, stop it!"

Don and Danny were having a hard time keeping him under control. They finally managed to get the knife from him and just then, the paramedics came in. Mac was screaming and would not give in. "We'll have to sedate him," one of the paramedics said.

Don and Danny held Mac while the paramedic gave him a shot in the leg. Jo leaned over Mac with tears in her eyes. "Calm down," she said.

Mac stared into her face as the sedative started to take effect. "Jo," he said.

"Yes, Mac, it's me."

"I'm sorry."

"You're going to be okay, Mac."

"What happened? Where have you been?"

Jo rubbed his hair. "Don't you worry about anything. Everything will be okay."

Mac closed his eyes and Jo started to cry then. She looked at Don. "He's still in there," she said.

The paramedics got Mac onto a stretcher. When he was in the ambulance, Jo looked at Don and Danny with a serious, angry look. "Now, we're going after that woman," she said.

Don and Danny followed Jo as she headed for the Avalanche. They knew Sheldon was going to be at that hospital when Mac arrived and he would take care of him. Jo called the commissioner and let him know what was going on. "The warrants are in order," Commissioner Reagan said. "There's one for her arrest and one for the search."

Jo put her phone away. They went to the precinct and picked up the warrants and then headed for the house. Lindsey had joined them when they left this time. She was angry too and she was ready to take down this woman and all her associates.

They arrived at the castle and Don got out and went to the guard at the gate. He showed him his badge. "Open that gate!" Don demanded. "And you make sure you don't make any phone calls!" He left an officer there to guard that while he went on to the house with Jo and the others.

They drove up to the front of the castle and walked up to the door. Don tried the door and it was not locked so they walked in. They all drew their weapons as there were two body guards in the front room. "Freeze! Police!" Don said.

The bodyguards drew their weapons but Don and the others shot first. Jo and Lindsey headed up the stairs to see if Melinda was up there. They knew she must know something was going on now and she would be trying to get away. They moved down the hall and checked two rooms…one of them being an office. Jo wondered if the jewels were in there but they went on down to the next room. Jo turned the knob and shoved the door open. They found Melinda Holmes in there with a man whom they had not seen. "Freeze!" Jo said. "N.Y.P.D.!"

Melinda glared at Jo and Lindsey. "What are you doing here?" she asked.

"You're under arrest."

"For what?"

"Get up and get on some clothes!" Jo looked at the man who was in the bed. "You too!"

When Melinda and Thomas were dressed, Jo and Lindsey put cuffs on them and told them their rights. "You have nothing on me!" Melinda said. "You have no right to be here!"

"Oh yes we do," Jo said. "We have a warrant to search this house and I think we're going to find some interesting things here."

Melinda glared at her. "I want my lawyer."

"You're going to need it."

When they had searched the castle, which took all of a day, they not only found the jewels that had been stolen but they found other jewels that had gone missing from other places too. They also found where Mac had been strapped to the chair and they found the drugs that she had given him to control him. They had a lot of evidence to analyze when they got to the lab. Jo called Sheldon to find out how Mac was.

"He's resting now," Sheldon said. "He's definitely been programmed. A psychiatrist has seen him today and he says Mac has been not only hypnotized with drugs but he's been traumatized as well but he thinks he can recover with some therapy and when he figures out how to deprogram him."

"Thanks, Sheldon," Jo replied. "Let me know if anything happens."

"He screamed a lot when he woke up here but when the psychiatrist got him calmed down, he could actually talk to him as himself. It's just strange, Jo. It's like she created another personality in him or something. I've never seen anything like it."

"That was what the bouncer said."

"There's no way Mac knew what he was doing when he robbed that place. This is the most solid insanity defense I have ever seen."

"Good. That's good news right now."

Jo and the others analyzed the evidence in the lab. Lindsey analyzed DNA samples that they had found in the rooms and she was surprised at the results. She just put it in the file and did not say anything. She would tell it all once she had everything done.

When all the evidence was done, they had a solid case against Melinda Holmes. She was in the interrogation room. Don and Jo went in there to talk to her. Her lawyer was there, however. "You have to release my client," the lawyer said.

"You just settle down," Don said. "We're not releasing anyone. Your client here is in a lot of trouble."

"For what?"

Don and Jo sat down. "We're going to tell you," Jo said. "First of all, for being in possession of stolen property." She laid a picture of the stolen jewels on the table. "She was in possession of thirty million dollars worth of stolen jewels and her fingerprints were all over them."

Melinda looked at the picture and then at Jo. "Those were given to me," she said. "How was I supposed to know they were stolen?"

Don almost laughed. "You're kidding, right?" he asked. "You expect us to believe that?"

"I didn't steal them."

"Well, that brings us to your next charge," Jo said. "You kidnapped Detective Taylor and you drugged him and manipulated him into stealing those jewels for you. Don't deny it because he has been evaluated by a psychiatrist and we found the drugs and where you had him held captive."

"I don't have anything else to day," Melinda said. "So it was an experiment. All scientists experiment."

"Is that all he was to you?" Jo asked. She glared at Melinda. "How did you convince him to sleep with you?"

Melinda smiled a smug smile at Jo. "Well, I didn't have to do much convincing," she said.

Jo was boiling mad. She knew that woman had manipulated Mac into doing things he would not have done otherwise. He had not even slept with her yet.

Don got up. "Get up," he said to Melinda. "You're under arrest." He read her rights again as he put handcuffs on here.

"Well, there's one thing Mac taught me," she said. "I learned what real love is…but I guess it's too late."

Jo watched as Don took her out. She wondered what she meant by that. She and Lindsey had found her in bed with that Thomas guy. He was in a lot of trouble too.

Jo left the interrogation room. She was glad this was over. She wanted to go to Mac now. She took her folder back up to her office and filed it. Then she got ready to go to the hospital. All the others were ready to go too. They were glad Mac was safe and the owner of the jewels would get his jewels back when the case was over. They supposed he could rest easier tonight since his property was secure.
