Here's chapter three. enjoy, and remember: R&R!
"Okay, rooms ready," Danny said to Rochelle, who ushered her kids into the room to put them down for a nap. When she came out, she sat down at the kitchen table.
"Thanks for letting us stay here," she said.
"No problem. I'm just sorry about the mess that you're gonna be staying in," Danny said, walking over to the coffee pot. "Want some coffee?"
"That'd be great," Rochelle said.
"Lindsay, Stella? Coffee?" he asked his coworkers who were also sitting at the table.
"Yes please," Stella said for the both of them. Danny poured four cups of coffee into mismatched mugs, and set them down on the table.
"So, when do you need to be back to work, Danny?" Rochelle asked, sipping the coffee.
"I'm not sure, if Mac needs me, he'll just call me. Rochelle, I need to know all the information on this Eric guy. Where were you guys living?" Danny asked seriously.
"We were in Queens, he's a delivery man for some pizza place, I'm not sure which. You can't go looking for him though. He's got a really bad temper," Rochelle pleaded. "I don't want you getting dragged into this more than you already have."
"Don't worry about me. If he tries to contact you, you have to let me know. You understand?" Danny obviously cared about his sister.
"Sorry to interrupt, but we have an idea," Stella said, and Lindsay nodded. "We want to take Rochelle and the kids out for dinner tonight, with Flack, Sheldon, and Mac. Would you guys be up to it?"
"Yeah, I'd love to meet all the rest of Danny's friends," Rochelle answered, smiling. "We'd have to go before eight, so the girls don't get tired. I think they'll enjoy this too."
Danny reached into his pocket; his pager was going off. "Mac needs us back at the lab, the hauled in the suspect," he relayed apologetically. Stella nodded and stood up. Lindsay did the same.
"Call me if anything happens. We'll probably come pick you guys up for dinner at around 6:30, okay?" Danny instructed. Rochelle nodded, and Danny, Stella, and Lindsay walked out the door and down to the car.
Once they were back at the lab, they immediately got back to work. Danny and Stella interrogated the suspect Flack had brought in, and Lindsay asked Mac, Sheldon, and Flack about dinner. They all decided to go.
Two hours later, Danny went to pick up Rochelle, Lauren, Nicole and Rebecca from the house, and everyone else headed for the restaurant. The restaurant was a nice seafood place in Brooklyn.
Danny knocked on the door, and announced it was him, he had left his key with Rochelle with out thinking. Luckily she opened the door. She had changed clothes, and done her hair. "You look nice. But now I have to change so you don't make me look bad," Danny greeted. He walked back to the bedroom.
When he opened the door, he was bombarded by giggles. He had forgotten about the girls. They were contentedly watching the TV he had on his dresser. "Hey, could I convince you ladies to go out with your mom?" he asked. Rebecca picked up Nicole, lugged her out of the room, Lauren followed them. Danny closed the door an got ready.
"Ready to go?" he asked, walking out to the living room.
"Yeah," Rochelle picked up Nicole, and grabbed Lauren's hand, who grabbed Rebecca's hand. They followed Danny out the door, and down to the car.
