Pictures Don't Lie

Danny and Jack sat in the hospital room, watching a baseball game when Lindsay walked in. She smiled at them. "Hi, guys."

"Hey, Montana," Danny answered. She just rolled her at him.

"Didn't you promise me lunch?"

"Sorry. Got kind of busy." A lot had happened in the past few hours.

"I heard you caught the guy, at least." Lindsay was glad it was over.

"Not without a fight." Danny showed her his injured arm.

"Could have been worse, cowboy." Lindsay knew that Danny could have been hurt a lot worse. She had also heard that the suspect had pulled a knife on Danny.

"I guess. The point is he can't hurt anyone else."

"Speaking of which, you haven't introduced me to your son." She had been looking forward to meeting Jack.

"Jack," Danny got his attention. "This is my friend Lindsay."

"Hello" he answered politely. Jack was still focused on the game. The Yankees and the Red Sox were at it again. At the moment, the Sox were up by two runs.

"Do you guys want me grab you something from the cafeteria?" Lindsay still wanted to join them for lunch.

"Sure. A sandwich would be good," Danny said. "Jack, you want anything?"

"Not really." He wasn't very hungry. Jack continued to watch the Red Sox beat the Yanks for once. Danny shifted his attention to the TV. "That's embarrassing." Manny Ramirez had just hit a grand slam. The Sox were now up by six runs. He and Jack argued about baseball until Lindsay came back.

"Thanks, Montana." Danny didn't realize he how hungry he was hungry until Lindsay gave him a turkey sub.

"Look what else I brought." She showed them a box. It was the game Clue.

"You didn't have to do that." Danny said.

"Actually it was in my car anyway." The baseball game had just about ended so they immediately set the board up and began to play.

Back at the lab, Mac had just gotten DNA results from the skin he found under Jack's nails. It matched Joey Sassone. He had also tested the blood on the jacket they found. It was a match to James Messer. There were also skin cells on the inside of the jacket. They also belonged to Joey. He was going away for a very long time.

Danny and Lindsay had played a couple of games when Flack joined them. He told them about the DNA results Mac had finally gotten. Don also won the next game of Clue. Lindsay and Flack went back to work a few hours later, leaving Danny and Jack alone. Danny absentmindly picked up the sketchbook Mac had brought. "Do you mind if I take a look at this?" he asked.

"No problem."

Danny flipped through the book. He found drawings of Fenway Park, the Charles River, and the view from the top of the Prudential Center, among other city landmarks. He also saw few sketches of New York toward the end of book.

"I'm impressed." Danny saw Jack could draw really well, especially for a kid his age. "These are really good."

"Thanks." Jack said sheepishly. He liked to draw, but Jack didn't think the sketches were anything special but apparently his dad did. He wasn't sure what else to say. They spent most of the getting to know each other. Mac even stopped by after his shift was finished to check on them. He stayed to play a few card games with them and confirmed what Flack had already told them.

A/N: Story's just about finished. Sorry it took so long to update but my Internet connection wasn't working for some reason. I hope to get the Epilogue up later tonight, and I plan to write a sequel. As Always, please read and review.
