Author Note: Thanks to all who posted a comment here is the second chapter.

He sat by her bed watching her sleep. The doctors and nurses said that she was given a sedative because when she woke up she was screaming and crying 'he took her and I'm never going to see her again.' Now he looked at her, the redness of her eyes fading away every second that she slept and the possibility of her being much calmer when she awoke to find Danny by her bedside appeared. She was different than most girls she didn't have to wear fashionable stuff every day. When he saw her she would be wearing running pants and a tank top and she would still have that Carla light on her face. But that would all change a few months later after he last saw her, that light in her face would disappear, she would lock herself in her room and wear baggy clothes.

He heard a nock at the door and turned around to see Lindsay with her Montana smile. "I thought you might like some coffee." she said walking in and holding out a cup of freshly brewed coffee.

He took it with a smile. "Thanks, Lindsay." he said. He took a sip of his coffee and looked at her again and she looked a bit stunned. "What is it?" he asks.

"You called me Lindsay, not Monroe or Montana." she said sitting down beside him laughing.

"I guess I did." Danny said scratching his head.

"So how is she?" Lindsay asks him.

"Well they stitched the gash on her head up and gave her some pain meds. And she's wanting her baby." Danny told her.

"That's somewhat good. Danny your going to need to focus on your sister and let Me, Mac, Stella, Hawkes and Flack do our job. She's going to need you and Louie." She told him with a reassuring smile. Something about that made Danny smile back, lean in and kiss Lindsay. After he kissed her he became bewilder by what he had done and looked at his sister. "Wow, I knew you had thing for me Danny." she said laughing.

"What makes you think that?"

"Well the kiss for one and the first day I arrived you kept playing games with me. And we both couldn't keep our eyes off of each other for 2 seconds." she told him as matter of fact.

"Well then Lindsay you'd be right." Danny said as he turned to face her again smiling. Once more he kissed her again. But this time they were interrupted by a cough. They both stopped and turned around to see Louie in the doorway.

"Sorry if I interrupted but uh how is Carla?"

"She's fine; doctors stitched up her gash and gave her a sedative." Danny told him turning back to face his sister.

Lindsay stood up and turned to Louie. "Hi, I'm Detective Lindsay Monroe. I work with your brother." She said extending her hand.

Louie took her hand and shook it. "Nice to meet you, Lindsay." he said eyeing his brother.

"Listen did anything happen before this attack occurred?" she asked him.

Louie nodded. "Josh came by the apartment a two days ago. Carla had been walking her dog and she took the baby with her. When she returned he was waiting, he tried to take Angela but the dog jumped in between and tried to bite him, that's when Carla called the police. He ran off and she quickly got inside the apartment and waited. He was gone before the police arrived." Louie told her.

"Ok, do you know the officers who were dispatched to your apartment?"

"Officer Tanner and Officer Snow, I believe."

"Thanks and where were you when this attack occurred?"

"I was at work I came as soon as Danny called me."

"Thanks. Umm Danny I'm going to go out and call Mac with update be right back." she said and she left.

Louie watched her leave and then turned to Danny. "Nice looking gal." he said with a smile. "So you have a thing for her?"

"I don't have a thing' for her, it's a mutual friendship." Danny told him.

"Yep and for a mutual friendship she gets an intense kiss, right?"

"Ok, you win. Yes I have a thing for her and don't let that go to your head." Danny said sarcastically.

"Oh but I can't help it if it does." Louie replied laughing.

Danny turned back to watching their sister. He noticed her eyelids starting to flutter, followed but a groaning sound.

"Oww." Carla groaned. She opened her eyes fully and her eyes met two pairs Danny's and Louie. "Danny Louie he took her." she said sitting up quickly.

"Shhh we figured he did." Danny said to her. "If your not going to lay back down at least sit back."

"Fine." Carla said to him reluctantly and she scoots back and props herself up on her pillow. "There."

"Listen Louie watch her while I go get Lindsay." he told his brother and he left off in search for Lindsay.

"Lindsay, who is she?" Carla wondered.

"Oh just a co-worker that I found lip locked with Danny." Louie told her and Carla laughed.

Soon Lindsay and Danny returned to the room. Upon seeing Lindsay Carla turned to Louie and said to him. "Ohhh I see."

Lindsay and Danny looked puzzled but dropped the comment and Lindsay went to work. "Carla I'm Detective Lindsay Monroe." she told Carla.

"Ahh It's nice to meet you nice to put a face with those lips." Carla said laughing.

"Louie!" Danny said eyeing his brother.

"What!"

"Anyways, Carla can you tell me what happened?"

"Yeah I was at the apartment watching T.V, and Angela was asleep in her crib. I heard a nock and the door and got up to see who it was. I looked through the peep hole and saw Josh there. I ignored him and went to my room and stayed with Angela. I could here him shouting 'Carla I know you're in there open up.' But I didn't. Next thing I know he busts the door down and comes back to my room. He was enraged, drunk and possibly high. Then I knew he wanted Angela so I stood in his way to keep him from taking her, that's when he stuck me with something. When I come to I was in the ER." she told Lindsay.

Lindsay nodded and asked. "Do you now why he would want Angela?"

Carla looked at her brothers and they nodded as reassurance. She turned back to Lindsay and told her. "Last year I was at a party my friend was throwing. No alcohol or drugs. I was with my boyfriend and my best friend Stasia. This guy who adored me and hated my boyfriend brought me a drink, I shouldn't have taken it but I did. Anyways I don't know how it all happened because of the GHB, but the next thing I remember is Josh on top of me and wouldn't stop. When Angela was born I named my boyfriend Drew as the father. He and I are Angela's legal parents, but Josh is Angela's biological father." Carla told her.

Mac was on the phone talking to Lindsay once again. As he hung up he turned to Stella. "Josh is Angela's biological father the father with legal rights to Angela is Carla's boyfriend Drew. But why take the baby a risk taking a paternity test which will prove that he raped Carla?" Mac wondered and informed Stella at the same time.

"Maybe it was spur of the moment, or he's planning to sell the baby on the black market." Stella suggested.

"Maybe, which means we have to catch him fast once he sells the baby there may be no way to trace who he sold her to."

"Right, well all we've got her is a sign of forced entry looks like a crowbar was used. In Carla's room there is a whole in her wall caused by the door knob of her door. I also found the weapon used to cause that gash on Carla's head." Stella told Mac and she held up in her latex gloved hands a relic of the Empire State Building. "Dusted it for prints some partials and one clean print. When I get back to the lab I'll run it through AFIS."

"Ok, and I'm going to have Flack do a background check on Josh Williams." Mac said. "Meet you back at the lab?"

"Meet you back at the lab. I'll call you if I find anything." Stella said to him as she picked up her kit and the evidence that she collected. She smiled at him then left the apartment.

Flack had gotten Mac's call and his request. Now he was on his way to the lab to tell Stella what he found. "Ok, looks like Joshy boy here has several priors including assault, battery and resisting arrest." he announced as he entered the lab.

Stella sat on a stool running the prints through AFIS. "Anything about Carla's rape in there?"

Flack took a look at the file again. "Yes, he was charged in the rape but the charges never stuck."

"Lucky him maybe these charges will stick this time."

"Maybe, maybe not. Guess who his father is? Judge Williams." Flack informed her.

Stella mouth gaped open. "Judge Carson Williams, no way." she said and then she turned her attention back to her search when it made a beeping sound. "Let's go check in with the Williams' see if they know where their son is. His prints match the ones on the weapon used to strike Carla."

"Sounds good, let's go."

The Williams house was in the upper East Hamptons. It had a nice Colonial look to it, and the front looked just as lavishing at the inside. The rooms were big and spacey, with cathedral ceilings. Stella and Flack stood in the foyer while a maid went to inform Judge Williams that they were here to speak to him. The furniture in the other room, that Stella could see, was old and looked to be refurnished. Stella had called Mac and told him where they were heading.

"Detective Bonasera, Detective Flack to what do I owe the NYPD for being here today?" A below voice asked, with that Flack and Stella turned to see Judge Williams coming into the foyer.

"It's about your son Josh, Judge Williams." Flack informed him. Williams questioned his intentions with his look.

"What is it about this time?"

"We believe he's involved with the assault of this girl Carla" she began and showed him a picture Danny had provided her of Carla and Angela, "and the kidnapping of her daughter." Stella piped up.

"Oh, this again. Look my son never hurt her, didn't even touch her." The Judge told the Detectives.

"Really then why would his finger prints be on the weapon used to knock Carla out and why has she called the police on him several times for harassment?" Flack questioned him, the Judge began to look defeated.

"Judge Williams you can either help us find your son or we'll find him ourselves. Either way we're going to get that child back." Stella furtively told him.

"Detective I can not help you, my son is not a part of this. If you please excuse me I have a conference call to get to." The Judge said. Stella and Flack went out the door them came through and the Judge was out of sight.

"Ugh I just hate it when Judges like him use their superiority to take advantage of the system. We're going to find Josh and with the evidence right now these charges will stick." Stella fumed as they walked back to the car. Flack said nothing to upset her anymore.
