Adam was looking at maps on the computers and making a thirty minute radius from the apartment building that Wayne Bryant had been living in. "Now, see if there are any old houses out there where there are no street lights. Mac said it was very dark out there," Jo said.

Adam analyzed the areas around the radius. "There aren't many street lights here," he pointed out at an area in Queens. "It's not too far from the ocean either."

Jo looked at the map that Adam was pointing at. "How many old houses are there?"

Adam zoomed the map in further so they could see more of what was there. "There are about five houses there," he said. "You think Mac was held there?"

"He said it was very dark there but he didn't hear anything unusual and he thought the house was old."

"I guess he's just about forgot that by now," Adam said with a silly grin.

Jo put her hands on her hips. "Adam, that is not very nice."

Adam frowned. "Uh, I was just making a joke. I'm sorry."

"I'm very happy for Mac."

"Me too. It's about time he found somebody and got married again."

"It took him a long time. He really loved Claire and I can't imagine what it would be like to go through that."

"Me neither." Adam had to admit he had never thought of it like that really. He hoped Mac would be happy too.

Jamie got the message from Jo to go over to the area they had picked out and see what she could see. As she drove down the street, she looked without seeming to look but she did not see their suspect. Mac had not remembered what kind of car he had been put into except that he thought it was an old car. She could see that there were some houses there that looked pretty old and they had closed garages. There was also an old house that was for sale. She wondered if Wayne Bryant would be trying to sell an old house.

Jo and Adam were trying to find out where Bryant had lived as a child but they had not found anything so far. "There has to be something…or there has to be someone who knows something about him," Jo said. "See if you can locate his mother."

"I'll get on that."

Jo went to her office and sat down. She hoped Jamie saw something or that Adam could find something. It made her nervous that the guy was still out there, not to mention that the media was trying to make them out to be incompetent because they had not caught him yet. They could not catch someone when they did not know where he was. He was as slippery as an eel. He had even managed to kidnap Mac and hold him captive for a night. She wondered why he had not killed Mac, but she thought he just wanted to humiliate him. She just hoped he was not planning anything else against Mac. She also wished Don Flack was around. She never thought of how much they depended on him for everything until now that he was gone. She knew Jamie was out there, but she did not know her very well. Mac liked her though and thought she was just as competent as Don.

Jamie finally parked on the street in the neighborhood she was watching. She would have to keep a low profile. She thought she could probably blend in with the people around there. People were out walking and there was a park there too. She got out of the car and strolled out to the park. There were several people out there, some walking dogs and some with children playing on the playground equipment. She thought maybe she should show them a picture of the suspect and ask if any of them had seen him. She took the picture out and went over to a woman who was swinging her child in a swing.

"Hi," Jamie said. "It's a nice day, isn't it?"

"Yes," the woman answered. "Not too hot today."

Jamie showed her the picture of Wayne Bryant. "Have you seen this guy around?" she asked.

The woman looked at the picture. "No, I haven't." She looked at Jamie. "Are you a cop?"

"I need to find this guy, and if you see him, be careful. He's a murderer."

"A murderer?"

"Yes."

Jamie walked on to the next person but they had not seen Bryant either. She tried not to look conspicuous as she walked around the park. Finally, she saw a woman fitting the description of the victims. She went over to the woman who was sitting on a park bench reading a book. "Hi," Jamie said as she sat down.

"Hi," the woman replied and looked back down at her book.

"Could I ask you something?"

"Sure."

Jamie showed her the picture. "Have you seen this man?"

The woman looked at the picture and then at Jamie. "Yes, I have. That's Matt."

"Matt? Matt, who?"

"Matt Reese. We met a while back at the gym."

Jamie frowned. "The Straighten Up gym?"

"Yes, that's the one. How did you know?"

"Ma'am, what is your name?"

"Teresa."

"Have you met this man somewhere in this neighborhood? At a house?"

"Yes, I have."

"Can you show me which house?"

"Of course. What is this about?"

Jamie showed her badge. "This man is a murderer," she said. "He has killed five women and kidnapped my boss."

Teresa looked horrified. "That can't be," she said. "He is so nice."

"Of course he is. He wants you to trust him so he can get you into a situation and…you would be his next victim."

"I just don't believe that."

"You can believe it. If you would come down to the precinct with me, you might give me some information that could help stop him. Are you meeting him here?"

Teresa stared at Jamie a moment. "Yes. He was going to meet me here and we were going to his place to watch a movie," she said.

Jamie got her phone and called Jo and told her what was going on. "This is the best lead we have had," Jamie said.

"Let her stay there on the bench and wait for him," Jo said. "Maybe he has not seen her yet. We will be there soon."

Jamie explained to the woman what they were doing. "Please just cooperate with us so we can get this animal off the street," Jamie said.

Teresa seemed to consider that. "I'll stay here," she replied.

"Good."

Jamie walked away from Teresa. She looked around the park at all the people who were there. She hoped none of them would get hurt in this but if things did not look normal, Wayne Bryant might get suspicious. She would have to get the woman and her kid off the playground. She walked over to her and explained what was going on and told her that she should take her child to safety. "Don't look like you're in a hurry," Jamie said. "Just act like you're ready to leave."

The woman nodded and headed for her car. Jamie sat down on a different park bench and watched Teresa who was still sitting and reading her book. She hoped that woman would not try to tip Bryant off to keep him from being caught. She was sure he was picking her for his next victim.

Danny soon arrived at the park and strolled out to the tennis court to watch the people who were playing tennis there. He got his phone and called Jamie to pinpoint Teresa's position so he could be watching too. He soon knew who he was watching. He sat down on the bench beside the tennis court to watch. He had his gun concealed so no one could see it. He looked around at all the people in that park and he hoped they could catch that guy without incident. He hated trying to take down a suspect when there were a lot of people around.

Jo arrived at the park next and made her way out to a park bench and she had a Kindle with her so she could read. She figured this would be the most she had read since she had started working in her line of work except when she read up on cases. She hardly had time to sit and read anymore. They would have to take that guy down when…and if, he arrived. She wondered if he would see them there or if he was even watching them.

Mac and Christine were lying in bed now. He stared at the ceiling although he felt sleepy. Christine was cuddled against him asleep with one of her legs over him. He could not help but think about that case they had been working on since he was not occupied at the moment. He had definitely been occupied for a while. He had not felt like that in a very long time but now, he was wondering if they had any other leads on Wayne Bryant. He looked at Christine and thought she looked so beautiful. He knew she would be upset if she knew he was lying here thinking about that case.

Mac gently got himself out from under her and got out of the bed trying not to wake her. She appeared to be sleeping soundly. He bent and got his cell phone from his duffle bag and then went quietly into the bathroom. He could not help it, he wanted to know what was going on. He called the crime lab to see who would answer…

Sheldon heard the phone ring and he went to get it. "Crime Lab, this is Doctor Sheldon Hawks."

"Sheldon," Mac said.

Sheldon was surprised. "Mac? What's going on? Is everything okay?"

"Yes. I just want to know what's going on with the case."

Sheldon paused a moment. "Are you kidding?"

"Do you think I'm kidding?"

"No. Well, we think we're close him. Jamie found a woman out there in the park close to where we think he might have carried you and she knew the guy. She was sitting there waiting for him, so Jamie, Jo and Danny are out there waiting for him. They're going to try and nab him if he shows up."

"Great. How long have they been waiting?"

"I'm not sure, a little over an hour, I guess."

Just then, Mac felt a hand on his back and it slid around his waist. "What are you doing, Mac Taylor?" Christine whispered.

"I'll talk to you later, Sheldon," Mac said and ended the call. He laid the phone on the sink counter. "I was just…"

"Mac this is our honeymoon. You're not supposed to be investigating a murder."

"I was just checking to see if they had any leads."

Mac turned around and faced her. "I'm sorry," he said.

Christine stared at him a moment and then rubbed his chest. "I might forgive you if you come back in there in that bed with me and let me make you forget that you're a cop," she said.

Christine took his hand and led him back into the bedroom. "Now, no more calling the office and asking about cases," she said and shoved him onto the bed.

"I'll try," Mac replied.

"You'll do more than try." Christine climbed into the bed with him. "I'll handcuff you to this bed."

Mac would have thought that was sexy and kinky except that he remembered being cuffed to that table. "Will you?" he asked, trying not to think bad thoughts.

"I have a pair of cuffs for just that occasion."

"Where?"

Christine leaned over him and reached into her nightstand and pulled out a pair of handcuffs which had red feathers on them. Mac laughed when he saw them. "What's so funny?" she asked. "You think I won't cuff you?"

"You don't want to do that, do you?" Mac asked. "I can't put my hands in all kinds of places then."

Christine laughed and kissed him. "Oh, I don't know how I waited so long for you," she said.

"I definitely don't ever want to be without you again." Mac rubbed his hands up her smooth back and buried them in her hair. He pulled her into a passionate kiss that did not stop at that.

Jo was getting tired of sitting on that bench waiting. She wondered how long it would be before the guy showed up. Teresa had said that he was going to come and meet her there. Jo got up and walked around under the big Oak trees there. They were big and gave a lot of shade. She leaned on one of the trees and lounged for a moment and then she saw a man walking along the sidewalk toward Teresa. Jo pressed the speaker in her ear. "Danny, that's him," she whispered.

"I see him," Danny replied. "Let's see if he sits down so maybe we can catch him off guard."

Danny got up from the bleachers and started walking toward the bench that Teresa was sitting on and Jamie started moving around too. There were lots of people out there walking around so it was not going to grab his attention unless he just recognized one of them. Danny tried not to stare at him because he would know him if he saw him.

Bryant walked over to the bench and began talking to Teresa and then sat down beside her. When Danny saw that he was seated, he started running that way as did Jamie. Jo could not believe Bryant's arrogance. She wanted to get that guy behind bars where he belonged. She was moving that way too but she would let Danny and Jamie take him down. She was not one for that type of thing but she would shoot him dead if she had to.

Danny got close enough to Bryant that he noticed him coming that way. He was on his feet in a second. "Freeze!" Danny yelled as he drew his weapon. "N.Y.P.D.!"

"Get on the ground!" Jamie yelled.

Bryant took off running across the street and went down a residential road. Danny and Jamie were behind him in full pursuit. Jo called it in and there was backup on the way. Bryant ran down that street and darted between two houses as Danny and Jamie were gaining on him. They went down between the houses and came out at the other end and noticed that he had turned to the right. They went after him, having to dodge clotheslines as they went. Most of them did not have clothes on them, but some did. They were trying to keep their eyes on him.

Bryant ran down all the back yards until he came to a fenced in yard. Danny could not believe how fast the man went over that fence. Danny went over the fence and Jamie went around the other way to try and head the man off when he got out on the other side of the fence. Danny heard sirens coming as he was running across that yard. He hoped they could get there and help them catch this guy because he did not seem to be tired yet.

Jamie was going around the house that had the fenced in yard and she got around to the other side of the fence just as Bryant was jumping down off the top of it. "Stop!" Jamie yelled, but Bryant turned to run again. However, she shot him in the leg. He fell but he was not ready to give up. When Jamie got over there to cuff him, he tried to trip her, but then Danny was there.

"You're under arrest!" Danny said. He put his knee down in the man's back.

Jamie was checking Bryant's leg while Danny cuffed him. "He'll be alright," she said.

"Good! I wouldn't want him to miss that lethal injection!"

They got him up and started back to the street. "You can't prove I did anything!" Bryant yelled.

"Yes we can!" Danny replied. "You have the right to remain silent!"

"I don't want to remain silent!"

"If you give up that right, anything you say will be written down and used against you in a court of law!"

"They deserved to die! And so did that detective! He should have died!"

"I guess it just wasn't his time! You don't have that say! You also have the right to an attorney! If you can't afford one, they'll make one represent you whether he wants to or not!"

Jamie tried not to laugh. She had heard the Miranda Rights given a lot of ways but not quite like that. She supposed it did not matter how he told him as long as he did. A police car was in the street and Danny took Bryant to it. "Get in there!" he said.

"I won't go to jail!" Bryant declared.

"I wouldn't bet on that." Danny put him in the car after he checked him for weapons and shut the door. Bryant was still yelling in the car.

Danny looked at the officer. "Jamie here is going to go with you," he said. "Don't trust that guy and inch!"

"We won't," Jamie assured him and got into the car.

Danny was tired after all that running and climbing over that fence and he was glad to see Jo coming in the Avalanche. She stopped to pick him up. "Well, that's over," Danny said.

"Teresa is on her way to the precinct for questioning too," Jo replied. "I suppose we could interrupt Mac to let him know that we got that maniac."

Danny looked at her. "You think we should?" he asked. "They might be…you know."

"So? Do you know that he called Sheldon earlier?"

"You're kidding?"

"No. Do you think I would be worried about this if I was on my honeymoon?"

"I don't know. I guess it would be hard to forget that there was a serial killer out here."

"I'm going to call him when we get back to the office. I just want to see if he's out of breath."

Danny snickered at that. "I'll let you do that," he said. "It was a nice wedding, not too long or too mushy."

"Oh, Danny, a wedding is supposed to be mushy."

"I guess."

They got back to the office and Jo went into her office and sat down at the desk. She had a long report to write. She got her phone and dialed Mac's number…

Mac and Christine heard the phone vibrating on the bathroom sink as they were still in bed. "You're not going to answer that, are you?" Christine asked.

"Who would call me?" Mac asked. "Maybe they caught that guy."

Christine watched as Mac got out of the bed and hurried into the bathroom to get the phone. She whistled at him. "You have a fine butt," she said.

"So do you," Mac replied.

Christine laughed. She heard him answering the phone…

"Mac," Jo said. "We caught that guy."

"Great!" Mac said. "How did you get him?"

"Well, he was meeting who was probably his next victim and he had no idea that we had found her. We waited and finally, he showed up and we got him."

"That sure does take a load off of my mind."

"I'm sure it does. Now you can get back to that hot, steamy sex."

Mac rolled his eyes. "Jo."

Jo laughed. "Have fun, Mac."

Mac could hear her laughing as she ended the call. He shook his head and then went back to the bed. "I'll never live down all that teasing," he said.

"Teasing?" Christine asked.

"Yeah." Mac got back into the bed and Christine lay her head on his shoulder again. He stared at the ceiling. "You know how it is when somebody is a newlywed…especially somebody like me."

"Oh. Well, they're just happy for you."

"I hate being teased though and Jo…" Mac shook his head.

"What about Jo?"

"She likes to say 'hot, steamy sex' just to see it embarrass me."

Christine propped up on her elbow and looked at Mac. "Well, we definitely had that…more than once already," she said.

"Oh I know it but I work with her and I don't like to hear her say that."

"Why don't you tell her?"

"I don't know. She would never say that to you. She just likes to make me squirm."

"Why? Oh, and by the way, who were all those women?"

Mac frowned. "I don't know why Jo likes to make me squirm. I guess it's just the way she is."

"Uh huh, and what else?"

"What do you mean? I have never gone out with Jo."

"I think if you had asked her, she would have gone."

Mac looked at Christine. "Are you saying that she has a crush on me?"

"Why else would she say things like that to you and tell you that you're sexy?"

"Christine, we just work together and she does that to try and not think too much about the situations we're in."

"Oh, the way Don makes jokes?"

"Yes."

"Well, what about all those women at the wedding? Who were they?"

"I had gone on at least one date with some of them. Others, I had never dated."

"Then why were they there?"

"I don't know. They just wanted to embarrass me."

"Who was the first one, the woman with the red hair? She congratulated us."

"Oh, that was Rose." Mac put his hands behind his head. "She was the first woman I dated after Claire died. It had been three years. I wasn't really comfortable going out and we didn't get very far."

"What about the woman in the red dress?"

Mac cleared his throat. "Polly?"

"Oh, her name is Polly?"

Mac looked at Christine. "Why do you want to know all this?" he asked.

"They came there for some reason. Go ahead and tell me. What was that she said…she couldn't get you anywhere?"

"Well, I only went out with her one time and she took me to the roller derby."

"The roller derby? Wow, that sounds romantic."

"It was just a date and she was too young for me anyway. She wanted more than I wanted if you know what I mean. She was too aggressive for me."

"Did somebody set you up with her?"

"Yes. I think they did it for a joke."

"Mac Taylor. Who would have thought? What about the other red head? The one who said kissing makes you nervous?"

Mac frowned when he thought of that. He did not want to tell her about that. "She had been my partner a long time ago. She wanted the job I have now," he said.

"Oh. And…you dated her?"

"No."

"You…kissed her?"

Mac knew there was no way that he could keep her from knowing. "Yes. I did. It was a big mistake and it never happened again."

Christine stared at him a moment. "You were married."

"I was, and she was always teasing me and she was jealous of my relationship with Claire and I guess she wanted to see if she could break it up. She practically admitted that once when she was sent here to evaluate my lab."

Christine did not know what to say to that. She had never thought of Mac crossing the line, and would never have thought he would. What if Jo decided to tempt him? Would he give in? Mac noticed her silence. "Christine…" He was not sure what to say. He certainly could not deny that he did that.

"Claire never knew that, did she?"

"No. I guess it was one reason I had such a hard time dating again after she died. I felt like I was cheating on her then too. I worked all the time so I wouldn't have to go home." Mac looked at her. "Christine, I promise, I would never cheat on you."

"Not even with a kiss?" Christine asked.

"No. I will never let myself get into that situation again. You believe me, don't you?"

Christine looked into his eyes. "Yes, I believe you." She kissed him. "Let's not talk about this anymore…although I was just curious about all those women."

"They just wanted to embarrass me."

"I think they did. Your face was red and white too."

Mac smiled. "That's not exactly how you want your wedding to be," he said.

"Well, we still got married and I can't get enough of you."

"Okay, but tomorrow morning, let's get up and go up to the mountains. I want to get up there."

"It's a deal."

"Great."
