Martino put his arm around Lindsay's neck. He reached down and pulled out a drawer from the nightstand beside the bed. In the drawer was a syringe.
Flack noticed that he had picked up the syringe." Martino what are you doing with that syringe? You don't want to inject her again. Just let her go and things will go better for you."
Lindsay started to struggle. Every time she moved his grip got tighter around her neck. His grip was constricting her breathing.
Martino: (Looking down Lindsay's face and loosing his grip) "Baby tell them that you want to be with me." Her eyes started welling up with tears.
Lindsay: "Jason…please just let me go. I will help you. Please Jason. Don't drug me again."
Danny started approaching them very slowly. Martino noticed this and gave Danny a stern look.
Martino: "What are you doing? Do not come any closer. I mean it Danny."
Danny didn't listen. As he began to approach them Martino took the syringe and injected it into the side of Lindsay's neck.
Flack ran up to Martino and tackled him to the ground and Danny caught Lindsay just as she was about to collapse.
Flack: "Martino..What the hell did you give her?
Martino just started laughing at him. Flack threw him up against the wall. "Is it Rohypnol? Answer me!"
Danny was on the ground holding Lindsay. Whatever Martino had injected her with had knocked her out.
Danny: Come on Linds. Don't do this. You gotta wake up. What the hell did you give her Martino?"
Flack: "This is your last change. If you don't tell us what you gave her we are both gonna take a turn on you. Is that what you want?"
Martino: (feeling uneasy) "It's Rohypnol."
Just as Martino answered Mac and Hawkes flew in the door. Hawkes immediately went over Lindsay.
Danny was shaking while he was holding her. "Hawkes is she gonna be okay? You gotta help her!"
Hawkes: "Danny let me check her out. Depending on how much he gave her she should be fine. She may be disoriented when she comes to."
I want to get her to the hospital ASAP. Noticing the gash on her cheek "What the hell did you do to her face?"
Martino just laughed at them. "She was disrespectful. She deserved it."
Flack took him and turned him around and threw him into the wall and cuffed him. "Disrespectful! Disrespectful! You're gonna see what disrespectful is. We are gonna make sure of that you get what you deserve where your going."
Martino shuddered. This was the first time they got some sort of reaction out of him. "You all realize thatthis is Lindsay's fate don't you?"
Danny stood up and walked over to Martino "You realize that this is your FATE. We are going to take care of her and we are going to make sure that you are punished to the fullest extent for what you have done to her."
While Danny was face to face with Martino Lindsay had begun to stir.
Hawkes: "Lindsay? Lindsay? Can you hear me?"
Danny walked over and sat down beside her. She was lying on the floor. He took her hand in his and held it tight.
Danny: "Lindsay? Lindsay? Its Danny and Sheldon. Can you hear us?"
Her eyes fluttered open. She looked confused.
Lindsay: (She tried to sit up) "What's going on?"
Hawkes: "Lay back down Lindsay. Do you remember what happened?"
Danny was stroking her hair. He gently touched the laceration on her cheek. she winced. "Hey..Do you know who we are? Do you remember what happened?"
Tears started to well up in her eyes. "Umm I don't know Danny…I, I don't feel very well! My head. Danny please my head. It hurts."
Danny: "Mac have Flack get him out of here. She doesn't need to see him."
Mac walked up to Flack. "Get Martino the hell out of here. Lindsay doesn't need to see him right now"
Flack: "How is she?"
Mac: "Hawkes and Danny are with her right now. She's conscious. Hawkes is checking her out. I believe she will be going to the hospital for observation."
Flack grabbed Martino by the arm "Let's Go! You better pray for your sake that she's okay."
Stella came running in. She had been outside waiting for the ambulance.
Stella: "Lindsay! Are you okay?"
Lindsay couldn't bring herself to focus. She just looked at Stella. She could tell that she was disoriented not fully aware of her surroundings.
Hawkes: "Steel she's out of it. I am not sure if she is aware of her surroundings right now. I need to get her to the hospital."
Mac walked over to Stella. "Stella I want you to go to the hospital and stay with her. If Martino did anything to her I think that she will feel more comfortable talking to you. Don't push. She'll talk when shes ready."
Stella: "Got it."
Danny helped the paramedics load Lindsay into the ambulance. Hawkes had gotten into the back of the ambulance and left with her.
Flack came back to scene and met up with Danny. "How is she?"
Danny: "I don't know shes really out of it. Hawkes went with her to the hospital."
Flack: "Danny. You know we have to ask her if he raped her?"
Danny became very upset. "Flack I know how to do my job. She is not in any shape to answer any questions right now."
Flack: "Danny did you see the laceration on her face? I know you don't want to ask her questions like that but ..."
Just then Mac came in. "We need to have a rape kit processed. I sent Stella to the hospital. I think that if something did happen she would feel more comfortable talking to her."
Danny: (licking his lips and rubbing his hand over his face in frustration) "Mac I don't think she is in any kind of shape to be answering any questions this evening."
Mac: "I know that Danny but we have to preserve the evidence ASAP. We can't let her go hours without getting an examination if we want Martino put away for a long time."
Flack: "Mac is right Danny. It needs to be done ASAP the quicker the better for Lindsay."
Danny: (yelling) "This whole thing is making me sick. We were supposed to protect her. I was supposed to protect her."
Mac: (letting out a sigh) "Danny this wasn't your fault. Martino had his sights set on her for awhile" Lets go check on her. I'll have night shift process the scene."
