CHAPTER 13:

Lindsey had all kinds of thoughts going through her mind on the way to hospital. What if something serious has happened to Danny? What if maybe he has decided i wasn't right for him after all and left to go someplace... she thought to herself. No no, he wouldnt do that, he would have told me to my face...I think... She shook her head trying to rid her overworked brain of stupid thoughts. As soon as Stella pulled up at the front of the hospital, Lindsey jumped out and ran through the front doors to reception.

"Woah Lindsey wait up!" Stella called, trying to catch up to her.

"Wheres the fire?" replied the receptionist looking up at Lindsey from her paper work. "Oh its you again. What can i do for you?"
"Did Detective Danny messer come in today to see his brother Louie?" Lindsey asked. It was the same receptionist from the night before, and Lindsey could tell she didnt want to be of any help.
"I'm sorry, but i cannot give you that kinda - "

"Excuse me, " Stella said, slamming her badge on the desk. " Has he been here or not?" The receptionist jumped in her seat at the sight of Stellas badge reflecting in her glasses.

"Sorry i didnt realise you were.. i mean of course, i can give you-"
"WELL?" Lindsey exclaimed interrupting her. She was gettin impatient now. They didnt have time to waste and if she didnt give a simple 'yes' or 'no' answer Lindsey would find out for herself.
"No. He hasnt been here since last night when he came with you."
"Ok, i will need to speak to Louie then." Lindsey replied.

"If you can find him you can. He checked out this morning around 8am."
"Ok, where did he go?" Stella asked, clipping her abdge back to her belt.

"He said he was going to stay with Detective Messer at his apartment..."
"But he cant be..its only, what, a 20 minute ride from here to Danny's apartment. If he was going to stay at Danny's he would have been there before i left." Lindsey replied.
"Well, theres only one way to find out. Let's go."
Stella and Lindsey quickly marched out to their vehicle, and had just started the journey to Danny's apartment when Lindsey's cell rang.

"Danny? Oh hi Flack.. No he hasnt been to the hospital, Louie checked himself out this morning...We going there now...Ok, meet you there." Lindsey put her cell back in her pocket and turned to Stella. "Flack said he got some news. He's going to meet us at Danny's apartment..."

"Lets hope its good news." Stella replied.

¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬

Danny sat there. Blood was everywhere, all over his wifebeater. and a pool had started to form next to his feet. Had that really jus happened? He thought to himself. His ribs were aching so bad, it hurt to talk.

"Louie..." He forced the word from his lips.

"Danny, i'm so sorry. This was never meant to happen... i - " Louie looked down, eyes wide open, at the floor and stared at Sonny's lifeless body infront of him. Over the far side, Danny could make out the shapes of the two other guys, slumped down against the wall. Louie started to cry.
"Why?" Danny whispered. "Why Louie.. Why all this?"
"Sonny told me he jus wanted you beat a li'l.. nothing bad cause he knew it would count against him at the trial...I cant do this no more Danny..." a tear dripped from Louie's cheek and it fell into the blood. Louie reloaded the gun in his hand.

"Louie just untie me, and we can get the hell outta- " Danny stopped mid-sentence as he saw Louie turn the gun on himself. "N-O!" Danny screamed, his tears streaming through the dried blood on his face. "LOU-IE!"

Louie looked Danny in the eyes as he placed the chamber against his forehead. "I love you Danny. Im so sorry..."

BANG.

Danny could only sit and stare as Louie fell to his knees, and then on his chest. "You S.O.B Louie.. " Danny shouted through his tears. "How dare you leave me like this!"

He bowed his head down as far as he could and cried, till there were no more tears left.

¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬

Flack was already outside Dannys apartment door when Stella and Lindsey stepped out of the Elevator.
"The door was left open." Flack said looking at Lindseys eyes. They looked so much colder than they usually did. "We got a call from someone in New Jersey."

"Oh no..." Lindsey said softly, as she slumped against the wall. "Hes... Is it-"
"The guy said he saw a black SUV abandoned near the old ship yard. The doors were open, and it had Danny's Licence under the visor." Flack replied.

"Lets go, he must be there somewhere.. what if he is hurt?" Lindsey said wiping her face and straightening up.
"Lindsey i think you should stay here and let me and Stel go see. You need to - "
"No i want to come, Flack,. i have to." Lindsey replied cutting off Flack mid sentence.

Flack sighed in a dissaproving way. "Ok ok.. but if there is one sign of trouble you're leaving ok?" All three of them left the apartment and made there way to the old ship yard across town.

"Hey Peruzzo, its Flack. I need a backup car to meet me at the ship yard in 5 minutes ok? Tell them to get their ass's movin'!" Flack ended the call, and as they pulled over at the ship yard, Flack spotted Sonny's car behind a crater. "Sonny's here." Flack said quietly.

"Oh Danny... Please be ok.." Lindsey mumbled to herself. She turned to look out the back window and saw flashing lights approaching. They stopped behind Flack's car, and Stella, Flack and Lindsey got out.

"Ok, guys, we need to find out if Danny is in there. But Sassone's car is over there, " Flack explained pointing over to the distance. " If he is still in there, then we gonna have trouble."
"We got this Flack, no worries." Replied Officer Andrews. He motioned for his officers to draw their guns and follow him.
