Tanglewood

Danny stopped for a second. He was starting to feel light-headed. He looked at the blood seeping from his torn jacket sleeve. He was going to have to find a way to control it or Danny knew he would bleed to death before they reached the subway. "Hang on second" Matt hadn't seen him stop.

"Uh oh." Matt knew the fact that Danny was still bleeding wasn't good. He looked around the street to find anything they could use as a makeshift bandage. Matt didn't see anything that may help. Matt knew he needed to do something soon. He removed his coat and took off his Dunkin Donuts T-shirt. Matt wrapped it around Danny's forearm as tight as he could and put his jacket back on.

The shirt slowed the bleeding, but t would take stitches to really stop it. The subway was probably their best chance to find help. Matt helped support Danny as he led the way to the train. He still felt a little dizzy but Danny seemed to be walking straighter within a couple of minutes.

They reached the entrance and went down to the platform. Danny thought the best place to go would be the lab. His friends would be able to help him after that. He told Matt and they quickly consulted a train schedule to find the right train. It was leaving in about fifteen minutes.

A huge, wrinkly bloodhound sniffed Danny's phone and ran off down the dark street, dragging Mac behind him. Flack and Lindsay chased after them. They had called for the search dog when the blood trail had stopped, and shoe prints were hard to come by, though they still found a few everywhere that someone neglected to shovel. Danny and Matt wanted to be found, but Messer hadn't wanted to bleed to death in the process.

Mac was worried about both the young CSI and his nephew. Considering the people following him, going here just made no sense, unless Danny had something to do with the Tanglewood Boys that he neglected to tell Mac. Or he may have simply panicked and run in any direction without thought to where he was going. Mac wasn't sure if that was the case. He knew Danny still had an awful lot of secrets. "This doesn't make sense. If he were trying to get away from the Tanglewood boys, why would he go here? Unless…" Mac didn't have to finish that thought.

Don ran beside him and the bloodhound. "No way Danny is in with those guys." He was irritated Mac even coder the possibility. Danny was good cop. Flack knew Danny may have been more involed then he let on, but that didn't make his friend one them. The bad guys. The ones he and Danny fought to put behind bars everyday. Daniel Messer was not a Tanglewood, Don wanted to scream at Taylor.

"I don't want to believe he could be hiding here because he's one of them." He thought about it and realized Don was right. It just didn't fit Danny's character to be one of them. Just because he fell in with the wrong crowd as kid people always thought the worst. Mac knew him better then that. "In fact, I very much doubt it. But we do have to consider all possibilities."

Lindsay caught up with the two of them. "I just hope the lack of blood means he's got the bleeding under control." She was surprised by how afraid she was at the possibility Danny could be hurt or dying somewhere. After that day at the zoo, she wasn't sure she could work with Danny all time without trying to strangle him.

Not that he hadn't tempted her to kill him on occasion, anyway. That was part of the fun. Of course, Lindsay knew she would kill when they found him for running and her. Within a few weeks, they had formed a close friendship. Lindsay just wanted to find him and Mac's nephew before the Tanglewood Boys. At least they would never expect Danny to run here.

The dog had led them right into a subway entrance. They followed him onto a busy platform. He sniffed around for a few minutes, trying to find Danny in all the new smells that suddenly assaulted his sensitive nose. The bloodhound found what he was looking for and dragged Mac and the others into a subway car. It was nearly empty, and they were relived to find Matt and Danny waiting for them.

Mac alarmed to see that how close Danny had come to bleeding to death. He looked at the bandage and hoped it would hold until he got everybody off the subway. It left seconds after they got into the car.

"Are you okay?" Mac also was worried when he noticed the faraway look in Danny's eye.

"Yeah. Just trying not to pass out." He had lost a lot of blood while waiting for the train.

"Just hang on. You're not allowed to die yet, because I'm gonna kill you for scaring everyone like that." Lindsay ordered him. That got a relieved laugh from everybody. Danny and Matt would be okay soon.

They also needed to focus on getting Tony so they would stay that way.

A/N: Here's another chapter. I don't like this one as much as the others, but the next will be better. It may also just be a sore throat distracting me. Take what I said about Danny and Lindsay any way you want. It is clear from the show the have a close friendship. I have gotten hints it will be something more in season three, but romance isn't something I feel I can write well enough to make it the focus of a story, anyhow. Please read and review. I will try to finish the next chapter before I go to work tomorrow, but I'm not making any promises. I have a few things to do in the morning so I might not be able to finish before work. Thanks to all my reviewers. You guys really do help me keep at this.
