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

A/N: Thanks to all those who reviewed. Another chapter up. And as promised more Danny. I had a debate with myself about what should happen. Here it is.

Once again the car that Danny was in rolled to a stop. The guys got out and pushed Danny out as well. Danny saw that they were in a baseball stadium. Danny was pushed down on the ground. His feet was being tied by rope. Sonny loomed over him welding a baseball bat. He hit Danny with a lot of massive swings. Danny cried out in pain which made Sonny smile. Danny was beaten until he feel again into oblivion.

A few hours later Danny woke up. His entire body ached. He pushed himself up so that he was in a sitting position. He noticed that he was alone. I have to get out of here he thought. He struggled against his bonds trying to make them loose. A few minutes later he was able to free his hands. He untied his feet and shakily stood up. His knees nearly buckled but he used his willpower in order to start walking. He walked and walked until he was in familiar territory. He held on to a fence in order to keep from falling. He walked until he reached the lab. He walks through the doors of the lab and is spotted by Lindsay who was on her way home.

"Danny!" Lindsay cried out when she saw him bruised and bloodied.

"We have been looking all over for you." She said.

"Montana…" Danny said as his voice trailed off.

He swayed on his feet and Lindsay reached out to grab him. Danny leaned on Lindsay.

Mac Taylor was in his office. He was getting irritated. They had no leads. No idea where Danny was. He sighed. There was a knock on his door. It was Stella.

"Hey Mac, I'm going to head home and try to get some sleep which you should also do." Stella said.

"How am I going to be able to sleep knowing that Danny is out there most likely hurt?" Mac asked.

"We don't know where he is. We have no leads at all." Mac continued.

"I know Mac. Don't worry we will find him. You should really go home and get some sleep." Stella said.

"Good night Mac." She added.

"Good bye Stella." Mac replied as Stella goes out the door.

Lindsay was having trouble holding Danny's weight. But she refused to let go of him because he couldn't stand up on his own. He needed to go to the hospital badly but she couldn't carry his weight by herself. She couldn't move while holding Danny. Just then Stella came. Stella saw Danny who was being held by Lindsay.

"Lindsay. Danny." Stella called out.

"Stella. Could you get Mac please?" Lindsay asked.

"Sure. Hold on." Stella said as she went back the way she came.

Less than 10 seconds later Stella comes running back in.

"Stella. Did you forget something?" Mac asked.

Stella ignores Mac's question.

"Mac. Danny's here in the lab." Stella said.

"What? Where?" Mac asked.

"Near reception with Lindsay." Stella replied.

Mac followed Stella out to where Danny and Lindsay were. He saw Danny who was covered in blood and bruises. Lindsay was holding him. He went toward the two. He took hold of Danny and maneuvered him outside and into the car. Stella drove and Lindsay sat in the back with Danny. Danny's head was in her lap. Lindsay was talking to Danny in order to keep him from sleeping. A short time later they were in the hospital. Danny was immediately wheeled into the emergency room while the others waited outside. In the emergency room as the doctors worked on him, Danny let himself sleep.

The team was gathered in the hospital waiting for news on Danny. Mac had called Hawkes and Flack right after Danny was wheeled into the emergency room. It has been two hours since they brought Danny in. And there was no news on his condition. Then a doctor came up to them.

"Is anyone here for a Danny Messer?" The doctor asked.

The team looked up at the mention of Danny's name. Mac went to the doctor.

"My name is Mac Taylor. I'm Danny's boss. How is he?" Mac said.

"I'm Doctor Chase. Mr. Messer's attending physician. He is stable. He lost a lot of blood. We had to put some blood into him." The doctor replied.

"Can we see him?" Mac asked.

"He's asleep right now. But you may visit him in pairs." The doctor said.

"Thank you, doctor." Mac said as the doctor walked away.

Mac addressed his team.

"The doctor said that Danny has been stabilized. And that Danny is sleeping right now. But if you want to see him we have to do it in pairs." Mac said.

"Flack. Hawkes. The two of you can go first. Since neither of you saw Danny earlier." Mac added.

Flack and Hawkes stood up and went into the room that Danny was in. Danny was hooked up to two IV's. One of which was dripping blood. He was covered in bruises. He looked at lot younger then he actually was. The two men sighed. They hated to see Danny like this. The guys left while Stella and Lindsay came in. The two girls noticed the IV dripping blood. He was still bruised but the blood on his body had been cleaned up. His glasses lay on the table. He looked like a kid who got into a bad fight. Stella sighed. She sat down and held his hand, her motherly instincts taking over. She thought about the time Danny got trapped in the panic room. It wasn't that long ago she thought. She remembered that Danny was freaked out and he had almost gotten hurt. And now he has gotten hurt she thought bitterly. She sighed again. Lindsay looked at her.

"He's going to be alright." Lindsay said.

"I know. I was just thinking of the time Danny was trapped in the panic room." Stella said.

"Yeah, it happened only last week. And now here he is." Lindsay mused.

"He almost got hurt then, did you know that?" Stella asked.

"No. I didn't." Lindsay replied.

"The suspect grabbed Danny by the neck but his gun was pointed at me. It's a good thing Danny thinks fast and threw acid at the suspect who was startled and let go of Danny." Stella said.

Lindsay looked at Stella and sighed. Then Mac came in and the two girls left. Mac looked at Danny's sleeping form. He thought about everything that happened to Danny so far, the Minhaus shooting and just recently when Danny got trapped in the panic room. He also thought of everyone that told him that Danny was a loose canon and that he should not take him. He didn't listen to them and took Danny on. And Danny proved himself a very capable CSI. He never doubted Danny at all. Not even during the Minhaus shooting. Danny was like a son to him. And now, Danny was here lying in a hospital bed, beaten and bruised. Mac sat down on the chair beside Danny's bed. Danny looked a lot younger than he was. Mac was tired. He hadn't slept in days. Now, that he knew where Danny was, he finally let himself sleep.

A/N: That's all for now. Last chapter up next. And as always read and review. Sorry for the delay. I got busy with school and family stuff. I promise, a faster update next time. The story is plotted out already. I just have to type it.
