Chapter 4

Days turned into weeks and weeks turned into months. Danny couldn't believe that he and Lindsay have been together for almost 8 months already. It hadn't been the smoothest transition. In the beginning they were finishing up that case where the groom had been murdered.

Flashback

Lindsay: "Danny, evidence proves that it was the bride's ex-husband."

Danny: "How do you know?"

Flack: "We found the suspects watch at the scene. It must have fallen off during the struggle."

Lindsay: "I just ran the prints and it matches the ex-husband Kyle Santomieri."

Danny: "Do we have an address?

Flack: "Yeah! 1515 Holloway Rd. Brownstone # 2

Danny: "Let's go pick him up. Flack."

Lindsay: "I am coming with you."

Danny: Lindsay, I don't think that that is such a good idea. This case has you a little over the edge."

Flack: Linds, why don't you just stay here? You can be in on the interrogation."

Lindsay: "I am going with you and you can't stop me."

Both men looked at each other and agreed that they were not going to win.

When they arrived at the brownstone Mr. Santomieri answered the door.

Lindsay: "Mr. Santomieri?"

Santomieri: "Yeah! What is it?

Danny: Santomieri we are with the NYPD. We need to ask you a few questions regarding a Mr. Victor Keen."

Santomieri: "Yeah! What about him.

Flack: "Sir Can we come in?

Santomieri: Guess I don't have a choice.

Danny: Guess you don't!

Santomieri looked at Danny, then at Flack and then at Lindsay. He could tell she seemed a little nervous. "Sweetheart. You seem a little nervous. This your first case?

Lindsay just looked at him.

Danny looked at Lindsay. "Hey were asking the questions not you."

Santomieri continued to stare at Lindsay. You are absolutely gorgeous! You know that right?

Flack walked over and got in Santomieri face. "Back off! Right now! We are going to ask the questions.

Lindsay walked over to Kyle and looked him dead in the eyes. "How well did you know Mr. Keen.?

Santomieri: Not well. I know that I don't I sorry I mean didn't like him. He stole my wife away from me.?

Danny: Were your wife and Mr. Keen having an affair during your marriage?

Santomieri: No! Linda met him after we got a divorce. If that son of a bitch wouldn't have gotten in the way we could have worked things out. Got back together.

Flack: Did you just say that Mr. Keen was in your way?

Santomieri: "That's it." Lindsay was standing right next to him with her weapon exposed. He grabbed Lindsay by the throat and threw her up against the wall and released her weapon from her belt turned her around to face Danny and Flack and held it to her head. "Now I will be the one asking questions. How the hell did you find me?"

Danny and Flack had both pulled their weapons and trained their eyes on him.

Danny: "Take it easy Kyle. You don't realty want to hurt her do you? Danny was looking at Lindsay. She looked scared.

Santomieri: "Answer me! He screamed looking at Danny.

Danny: (Licking his lips) "We found your watch at the scene and ran your fingerprints through AFIS."

Flack: "It looks like you have a few assault charges pending." "Look if you let her go. We can negotiate. Say that you cooperated with us."

Santomieri looked at Lindsay. "No I don't think so. I think I would love to have this beautiful woman by my side. I mean I mine as well try and move on with my life.. Right?

Santomieri: "Right?" He said screaming at her.

She just looked at him. When she didn't answer he started to choke her and he dropped the gun. Flack went to attack him and Danny went to grab Lindsay's gun but before he had the chance Lindsay got out of Santomieri's choke hold and dove for her gun. She beat Danny to it and with a rush of adrenaline she got up and put the gun to Santomieri's head and Danny and Flack heard the click of the trigger.

Danny: "Lindsay? You don't want to do this. He saw that she had tears in her eyes. Linds. Come on. You are better than this. This will not fix what happened. It can only hurt you more." She looked at him. "Give Flack the gun and he can take this guy away. He is going to go away for life."

Flack: "Lindsay" He whispered. "You don't want to do this.

She kind of froze.

Danny: "Come on Baby" Give Flack the gun.

She looked at him and he shook his head and she shook her head and looked at Flack who walked over and gently took the gun out of Lindsay's hands. He looked at her with concerned eyes and asked her "Lind? You okay" she didn't answer. He looked over at Danny and Danny answered "She will be."

Lindsay just stood there and started to cry. Danny put his arms around her and held her until she got herself together.

Lindsay: "Danny. I am so sorry."

Danny: "What for?"

Lindsay: "For not listening to you."

Danny: "Lindsay you have nothing to be sorry for you didn't do anything wrong. You were just doing your job."

Flack came back in and saw Danny and Lindsay hugging. "She okay man?"

Lindsay looked up at Flack and said "Yeah"

Flack: Well, I got Santomieri in the car. What do you say we let 2nd shift come in here and process and take the rest of the day off.
