Stella walks through the halls toward Mac's office. She stops at the stairs as she spotted Jane Parsons coming out…smiling.
"Hi Stella," she said in passing. Stella barely nodded to her before walking up the stairs. Mac prepares to stand up and leave but Stella walks in. He throws his arms up helplessly at another interruption.
"Hi Stella," He says sighing.
"Hey, the final report came back on Kathleen Donora. Other than the fact that she's dead and in debt, she's fine. If it weren't for Danny, I would still be saying suicide. By the way, he said he wanted to talk with you."
"Danny!" Mac exclaimed suddenly, slapping his forehead, "I was supposed to talk to him! I'll see you later Stella." and with that he rushed out of his office, leaving Stella standing there watching him go.
Danny closes his locker, angry thoughts about Jane Parsons in his head.
"Could she not see that it was important?" He thought, "Honestly, she thinks that she can have Mac whenever...well, seeing as it's Mac probably, but still…" He sits down on thee bench with his head resting on his fist. Mac walks in and Danny looks up.
"Hey Mac,"
"Danny, sorry about that. I just had to talk to Jane about something."
"Had to?" Danny found himself bursting out. He didn't know why he said it, but it didn't end there. "I thought you wanted to bring justice to your friend!" He knew then that he had gone to far and hung his head.
"You're right," Mac says, surprising Danny. He thought Mac would jump all over him. "My priority is to the case, but I should have taken the time to listen." Danny nods his head. "So, what did you want to tell me?"
And Danny told. He told Mac about the "Tanglewood boys" and how they had most likely murdered Kathleen Donora. Why, probably just another selfless, insensible murder. When done, Mac had a very somber look on his face.
"Danny," He looked deep into Danny's eyes, making his message clear, "You have to resolve your issues with this gang. You need to get away or stay, just figure something out." He leaves Danny with his thoughts and leaves the room.
Danny nods his head and whispers, "I know."
Will Danny ever get the "Tanglewood Boys" off his back? And what will Mac do when he confronts his friend's killer?
