Chapter twelve
Erin was saying goodbye to Nikki as she was heading back to San Fransisco this morning. Jack also surprised them by joining their breakfast and they both loved the catch up with Nikki.
"Thanks for breakfast mom and thanks for coming dad" Nikki said always missing them when they are not together..
"Sure Im going to miss you" Jack said kissing her on the cheek.
"Call me when you get there" Erin reminded her.
"I will" Nikki hugged her parents again and left, and Erin was saying goodbye to Jack.
Erin then got a phone call.
"Hey Anthony whats up…."
Danny was at his desk a short time later when his phone began to ring..
"Hello" Danny greeted
"Hey it's me I just got a little heads up on something" Erin began..
"Oh?" Danny asked
"Matteo's court date is soon I just wanted to let you know..."
"When?" Danny asked
"Friday I will do anything I can" Erin promised
"Thanks sis I know you will I'll let Maria know..." Danny sighed
Maria came back to her desk with coffee for her and Danny and he hung up with Erin and walked over to her.
"Coffee?" she asked.
"Thanks, hey I just got off the phone with Erin" Danny began
"Everything okay?" Baez asked concerned.
"We got a court date for Matteo"
Maria's face dropped a little bit but she did her best to stay strong
"Soon?" she sighed
"Yes on Friday " Danny told her quietly.
"I wonder if they have the DNA test results by now" Maria sighed and Danny took her hand.
"Probably.. well the sooner we know he's telling the truth the better"
"I don't even know how I feel right now" Maria told him
"Erin will do everything she can and we will be right beside her" Danny assured her.
Truth be told they were both as worried as each other, even if things did not go in his favour they might not go their way either and the baby ended up elsewhere in the worst case scenario.
This time Maria wanted to be there for Danny. She hugged him and tried her best not to think of the worst case.
"Have your coffee" Maria told him placing her hand on his shoulder,
"I got to make some calls and maybe.." Maria began
Danny was about to put his phone back in his pocket when all of a sudden shots could be heard outside and everyone started to run outside..
"What the .." Danny began
Baez and Danny grabbed their guns and followed them.
Everybody heard a car speed off straight away
"Anyone see the car!?" Danny called out
Another cop came over...
"I did... it looked like a Blue sedan but it sped around the corner too fast I couldn't get the licence plate"
"Check the surveillance cameras..."
"Danny..." Maria called over to him
"Found something?" Danny asked?
"Look..." Baez pointed towards their car it had been all shot up and it was the only one
Maria then noticed something... she put on a glove and retrieved a envelope from their windshield and handed it to Danny
Danny opened it and read...
"Do Not testify... 'BB' "
