Another week went by and still nothing. Lindsay wanted nothing more that to go home. She walked into Mac's office where he was having a meeting with Hawkes.

Lindsay: "Mac I think it is time I go home. I think that if Jason was going to make a move he would have made it by now."

Mac: "Lindsay, I don't think that is such a good idea. I don't think that it's safe yet."

Lindsay: "Mac I know that you have my best interest at heart; and I appreciate it. But I can't let Jason Martino run my life." I need for things to get back to normal and I can't do that if I continue to hide."

Danny had walked in while Lindsay was venting her feelings to Mac.

Danny: "Mac she's right. How long is she supposed to live like this? We will just have to keep an eye on things."

Mac looked at Danny and then at Lindsay…"You're right. Lindsay I want you to be very aware of your surroundings at all times. Do you understand? I want you to make sure that you have your weapon and cell with you all the time too.

Lindsay: "Mac I promise I will. I'll be okay."

Mac: "Lindsay you are my responsibility. I need to make sure that you stay safe."

Lindsay smiled. I will be.

Lindsay walked out of Mac's office and ran into Stella.

Stella: "What's up?"

Lindsay: "Well I told Mac that its time for me to go home. I appreciate everything Stella. You have been a great friend."

Stella: "Are you sure about this? You know you are welcome to stay as long as you want."

Lindsay: "I know. I just need for things to get back to normal. I can't stand not being in control."

Stella looked at her and smiled "I understand."

It was late. Lindsay and Stella had been working on a case that they just wrapped up. They went to the locker room and gathered their things.

Stella: "Hey Linds, if you need anything just call me okay."

Lindsay: "I will I promise. Have a good night."

Martino had known Lindsay's whereabouts the whole time. He noticed the surveillance and decided to stay low for awhile. He knew
Lindsay wasn't alone for very long periods of time during the last few weeks. He would watch as Stella and Lindsay would head off to work.

After their shift he noticed that Lindsay had not gone back to Stella's apartment. He saw that Stella was alone. He decided to go and see if he could find out if she went back to her place.

Lindsay had been home for almost an hour. She decided to get changed out of her work clothes and go for a run. Just as she was about to leave she remembered to grab her personal cell phone off the table in the entry way. She called Danny to leave him a message and let him know what she was doing; she knew that he would be checking in on her. They had become very close in the past few weeks. She knew he would worry if he didn't hear from her. "Hey Danny I know you are a crime scene with Flack right now. I just wanted to let you know that I went for a run in Central Park. I'll talk to you later." She hung up and put her cell phone in her jacket pocket. She made sure that she zipped the pocket and tied her jacket around her waist.

Martino had just arrived when he saw Lindsay leaving the building. He decided that today was the day that he would get her. He stayed low and followed her into the park. He watched her intently. Trying to notice if she had anything with her. From his observation there was no way she had any sort of weapon. How could she go for a run if she had a gun with her? She had a black tank top on and black running pants. There was no way she had a weapon.

It was about 6pm and Danny decided to check his messages. He noticed that Lindsay had called from her cell phone. He listened to her message. He became a little agitated.

Flack: "Messer? What's up man? You look upset."

Danny: "It's Lindsay. She left me a message saying that she was going for a run in Central Park."

Flack: "By herself. What the hell is she thinking?"

Danny: "I don't have a good feeling about this."

Flack: "Neither do I." Did you try to call her back?"

Danny: "I am gonna call her right now."

There was no answer. She had left the message almost an hour ago.

Danny: "Mac do me a favor."

Mac: "What is it Danny. Page Lindsay and have her call you ASAP."

Danny: "She left me a message almost an hour ago and told me she was going for a run in Central Park. I have a bad feeling Mac."

Mac: "I'll page her right away."

Danny and Flack arrived back at the station and headed straight to Macs office.

Flack: "Did she call?"

Mac looked at Danny and Flack worriedly. "No! You two need to get over to her place and see if she is there. Keep me posted!"

They flew out the door and headed straight to Lindsay's apartment.

Lindsay had run for about an hour. She decided to stop and stretch her muscles. She felt good. It was starting to get chilly and she decided to put on her jacket. Just as she zipped her jacket she looked up and standing right in front of her was Jason Martino.

Martino: "Hello Baby! You seem shocked to see me."

There were a few people around and she very casually went to walk past him and her grabbed her by the arm.

Martino: "Where do you think your going?" He pulled a syringe out of his pocket and injected her with it.

Lindsay became disoriented right away. He dropped the syringe and very casually walked away with her.
