Author's Note: Okay, we're back to the original story line. I'm not sure exactly how this is going to end, but I feel a sense that I'm almost done. Please Read, Review, and Enjoy!
Mac and Stella rushed to the lab where Aiden waited with the results.
"Hey guys. Here's the results." She handed them a folder, which Mac flipped through. "Sorry to bother you guys so late, but I thought you'd want to see it ASAP."
"Yah, thanks Aiden." Stella said, reading over Mac's shoulder.
"Have we brought in Mr. Mendel again yet?" Mac asked without looking up.
"Ah, no actually," Aiden said uncomfortably. Mac and Stella both looked up at Aiden surprised.
"Why not?" Mac asked harshly. "You don't need my approval to bring a suspect in."
"I know that," Aiden said slightly annoyed. "We tried to bring him in, but…we can't find him."
"Wait," interrupted Stella. "He's gone!" Aiden silently nodded. Mac handed the folder to Stella and walked off.
He ran into Flack, who was heading to see Mac.
"Mac I-"
"Flack," Mac interrupted, "I want this guys credit cards, phone, car, everything tracked." Without waiting for a response, Mac left an annoyed Flack standing there.
"I was just about to tell you that it's already been done you know," he said to Mac's retreating back.
Mac continued his rampage to the locker room where Danny was just grabbing his bag, preparing to leave.
"Where are you going?" He asked Danny.
"Um, home I think. I thought I was supposed to take some time off." He replied pointedly."
"Not until we get this guy in here." Mac said simply. Danny walked out after Mac and turned to look at the others who were watching Mac timidly. Mac walked away from them, and Danny quietly asked the others,
"What's his problem?" Nobody knew what to say.
A while later, in the middle of the night, everyone was gathered in the break room. Tired, annoyed, and hopeless, they made no indication when Mac walked in. He sat down, tried to say something, but closed his mouth. He tried again, but everyone was in their own world. He gave up and closed his eyes.
Danny and Aiden sat on the couch while Stella sat on another chair. Danny finally cracked, and his head slumped back, fast asleep. Aiden kept nodding her head, trying to stay awake, but also couldn't handle it. She fell onto Danny's shoulder, but he made no move.
Finally, after what seemed like hours, Flack rushed in.
"Hey, everyone, get up. Mendel just used one of his credit cards to buy a bus ticket." Danny snorted out of his sleep. He looked down at Aiden and shook her awake. Stella and Mac were already up and gone before flack finished.
"Huh?" Aiden muttered.
"C'mon," Danny rushed her. They stood up, almost loosing their balance. Danny looked at the shoulder Aiden was sleeping on and saw she had been drooling on it.
"You are so gross." He said disgustedly.
"Get over it." She replied smiling, hurrying after the others.
They followed Flack to a lab, where a technician was trying to get a clear location.
"Okay," he said. "Looks like he's at a Bronx bus station."
"Can you get more specific?" Mac asked.
"Hold on…okay, the bus station is at 294 Gadston."
"Thanks Rick." The troupe assembled out of the lab.
"Let's go hunting." Mac said menacingly, motioning toward the door.
All right readers. I could have gotten this posted sooner, but I had no reviews to get me motivated (hint, hint, wink, wink). Please, tell me something!
I know this was a bit short, but it was a good ending place, and I have the last few chapters already planned out. CUL8R!
