Disclaimer: I don't own CSI: NY and Danny Messer but I wish I did.

A/N: Thanks to all those who reviewed. I really appreciate it. Now, as promised more of Danny. And Mac gets a little insight. Anyway, here's the second chapter.

The car that Danny was in had finally rolled to a complete halt. The guys that took him held and pushed him out of the car. He looked at his surroundings and noticed that they had stopped at a warehouse. And then he knew that place, he knew where he was and he knew who took him. Danny Messer was back where he came from. The home of the Tanglewood boys. Then the guys push him into the warehouse. They tie Danny to a chair and start to beat him up. Danny could feel the pain but he was slowly losing consciousness. And then he fell into oblivion.

Tanglewood! The detective thought bitterly. He almost forgot about Sonny Sassone and his gang. He remembered what Sonny had said in the interrogation room.

Flashback

"Ask your boy Messer if he believes that I am going to jail." Sonny said.

"Yeah, I know all about your boy Messer. And he knows all about us." Sonny added.

End of flashback

Mac sighed as he remembered that day. Danny had been watching through the window and heard everything that Sonny said. Mac was aware of Danny's knowledge about the Tanglewood boys. But he never really knew just how much Danny knew about the feared gang. Just then Hawkes came in.

"Did you find anything?" Asked Mac.

"No, Mac. There was nothing on Danny's kit." Replied Hawkes.

"Ok. Let's go to his apartment then." Mac said.

And the two men left in order to visit Danny's apartment. Meanwhile, Stella and Lindsay were looking for evidence on the street where Danny was last seen. But the two girls have found absolutely nothing so far.

"Stella, we have been here for almost two hours. And we still haven't found anything." Lindsay cried out in frustration.

"I know. Let's just hope Mac and Hawkes found something." Stella said.

The two girls decided to head back to the crime lab since there was nothing there at all.

Meanwhile, Mac and Hawkes arrived in Danny's apartment building. They went into Danny's unit and began searching for clues. But an hour later, after they searched the apartment from top to bottom, they still had nothing.

"Mac, we have searched Danny's apartment from top to bottom with a fine toothed comb and still we have nothing to lead us to where Danny is." Hawkes said in frustration.

"I know. I hope the girls found something we can use." Mac said.

And they headed back to the lab. At the lab, the team gathered in Mac's office. Mac sighed they had nothing. No leads as to where Danny might be. The only thing they had was a hunch. But that wasn't enough. Mac pulled the case files of the Tanglewood boys hoping to find out where their hideout was.

Danny woke up in pain. He tried to move his hands but realized that it was tied behind his back. He heard voices and saw a figure standing in front of him. He knew who the person was. Sonny Sassone.

"Well, well Messer. It's nice to see you again. Welcome back." Sonny said with a laugh.

"What do you want from me, Sonny?" Danny asked tersely.

"Nothing Danny-boy. We just want you to join us." Said Sonny.

"Are you crazy? Why would I join you? I am a CSI!" Yelled Danny.

"Yeah, but your CSI friends won't be able to save you. It's either join us or die, Messer." Sonny said.

"I will never join you, Sonny! Never!" Danny yelled.

"Then you will die, Messer. And your CSI friends will never find you. And your case will never be solved because they will never pin it on me." Sonny said with an evil grin.

Danny struggled with his bonds. I need to get out of here he thought. He decided to make his escape once the guys left. But from the looks of it, they weren't leaving anytime soon. Then the guys stood up and moved toward Danny menacingly.

Back at the lab, Mac realized that there was only one way to find Danny. They need to talk to Danny's brother Louie. Louie would know where the Tanglewood hideout is because he was a Tanglewood boy. But first they need to find him.

The guys approached Danny with evil glares. One of the guys went behind him and untied his hands. Danny saw an opportunity to run but two pairs of hands grabbed hold of his shoulders while another guy kicks him in the stomach. Danny grunts in pain. Then he felt his hands being tied behind him. He is pushed again outside toward the car and into it.

Louie Messer had just woken up when he heard a loud knock. He got out of bed wondering who would be looking for him. He opened the door to a young woman with curly hair. He smiled at her.

"May I help you?" Louie asked.

"Are you Louie Messer?" Stella asked.

"Yeah, why?" Louie replied.

"My name is Stella Bonasera. Your brother Danny is missing." Stella replied.

"What!" Exclaimed Louie.

"I work with your brother. I have some questions for you." Stella said.

"I need you to come with me to the station." Stella added.

"Ok." Louie said.

At the station Louie Messer was sitting in the interrogation room. Mac was questioning him.

"Louie, I need to know where the hideout of the Tanglewood boys is." Mac said.

Louie didn't say word.

"We have reason to believe that Danny was taken by the Tanglewood boys." Mac added.

Louie Messer looked shocked but still didn't say a word.

"Louie! Your brother has been kidnapped! Don't you care about him?" Mac yelled clearly pissed off at Louie Messer's lack of response.

Louie sighed and nodded.

"I do care." He said.

Louie quickly rattled off the address of the hideout and what it looked like. Mac nodded at him.

"Thank you." Mac said as he left.

Mac and the rest of the team left. A few minutes later the team arrived at the site. Only to find it completely empty. There was a table with some playing cards on it. And an empty chair on the far side of the room. Lindsay went over to the empty chair and noticed a red pool underneath. Blood! But whose? I hope it's not Danny's she thought. She swabbed it and went back to the others.

"Mac, I got blood." Lindsay said.

"Good. Run DNA on it. We need to know whose blood is it." Mac said.

The team went back to the lab dejected because they didn't find Danny. The only thing they found was a blood pool. Lindsay quickly went to DNA in order to run the blood she found at scene. A few seconds later the words Internal Personnel flashed on the screen. She quickly went to the printer in order to see what name came up. The paper read Danny Messer. Lindsay paled. And she quickly went to Mac's office.

"Mac, results on the blood. It's Danny's." Said Lindsay.

Mac looked at Lindsay. And took the print out from her. He looked at the results and sighed.

"At least, we know he was there." Mac said.

"But we don't know where he is." Lindsay said.

"I know. I guess I should talk to his brother again." Mac said.

And with that he left and went to the station. At the station Mac went to Louie.

"Where's my brother?" Louie asked when he saw Mac.

"He wasn't there. The place was empty." Mac said.

"What!" Louie said.

"Where else would they bring Danny?" Asked Mac.

"I don't know. There are about a billion places that the gang could bring Danny too." Stammered Louie.

Mac sighed. They were getting no where nearer to finding Danny.

A/N: Sorry for only posting this now. I had to formulate the story. Don't worry I will post the next chapter up faster than this one. And next chapter will be mostly about Danny. And as always read and review because they inspire me.
