Mac and Stella looked up when Danny and Lindsay walked in with a struggling Kylie. "Need help?" Stella asked, as she went forward to take Kylie from them.
"Watch it, she bites," Danny said, as he looked over at Mac. "Hi, Mac, sorry it took us a little longer to get back. She kinda bolted on us. We had to chase her down the street then tell the officers who responded to her kidnapper cries that we weren't trying to kidnap her. Unfortunately, they saw my gun, and thought the wrong thing."
"Let me go," Kylie snapped, bringing their attention back to her. "Let go of me now."
"Demanding isn't she," Stella said, as she tightened her hold on Kylie. "No, I will not let you go, young lady."
"I'll tell my daddy on you. Everyone's afraid of my daddy."
"We're not afraid of your Daddy," Danny said, as he followed Mac out the door. "She said that Dylan knew Stan. We also found scorpions in his apartment along with a snake."
"Another one?" Mac asked, as he looked over to see Kylie kick Stella. She let her go, and Kylie bolted out the door, before either Lindsay or Stella could grab her. Mac grabbed the back of her jacket and pulled her to halt. "That will no more of that."
"Yes, sir," Kylie said, as she looked up at Mac in fear. "I promise."
"Good, Danny," Mac said, as he turned to face the young man. "Where is Dylan now?"
"I think he's with Flack," Danny said, as he looked over at Mac, keeping an eye on Kylie. "We kinda got separated from him and Hawkes."
"Well, Hawkes called his brought the scorpions in to test to see if they were the same as the ones in the boxes."
"Cool, we'll go help him," Danny said, as he motioned for Lindsay to follow him. "He didn't by chance bring Carter with him?"
"Carter?" Stella asked as she looked over at Mac. "He only has a daughter."
"No, Stella, Carter is his six foot python," Lindsay pointed out, as she paused to look at Mac and Stella. "We found that out, when we were looking through dresser drawers. Nice surprise there. He seemed nice enough to want to eat my hand."
"Ah, that Carter. He's in the lab, with Hawkes," Stella said, as she smiled. "Have fun."
"We will," Danny called back to them, as he took up Lindsay's arm. "Shall we Montana?"
"Yeah, I guess. It's not every day we get to play with snakes and scorpions."
"No it's not." They then headed off to the lab, where they found Carter in a large tank in the middle of the table, with Hawkes looking at the scorpions. "What's up, doc?"
Hawkes looked up at them and smirked. "From what I hear, attempted kidnaping on your end," he replied, as he went back to looking at the scorpion he had in his hand. "Now how did you two pull that one off?"
"Well you know us," Danny said, as he pulled on a pair of gloves and carefully snagged one out of the glass tank. "We just fit the kidnapper profile to the tee. Plus Kylie really didn't help at all by screaming at the top of her lungs that we were trying to take her away from her daddy and then the officers, who responded to the panicking crowds calls to the police, saw my gun by accident, they panic, and it went down hill from there."
"Hmm, and I missed it," Hawkes muttered, as he looked up at them. "I got stuck with Dylan and this horrible things."
"And Carter," Lindsay added as she looked down at him. "How's he doing?"
"He's doing fine for a snake." Hawkes then looked over at her. "How you doing?"
"I've been better." She then went up to Danny's side and looked down at the scorpion in his hand. "So are these the same ones that were in the safety deposit boxes?"
"Oddly, enough, yeah, they are." Hawkes dropped his back into the tank as Danny did the same. "So you gonna go talk to Dylan now?"
"Sounds like a great idea," Danny said, as he snagged one of the scorpions and put it in a small box. "And this is going to come with us, to get him to talk. Talk to you later, Doc." Then they took off.
Flack and Dylan looked up when Lindsay and Danny entered the interrogation room. "Where's my daughter?" Dylan asked, as he jumped to his feet. "Where is she?"
"Sit your butt down," Flack said, as he put a hand on Dylan's shoulder, and pushed him back in the chair, he had just jumped up from. "I didn't give you permission to get up. Did I?"
"Where is she?" Dylan growled, as Danny set the box down in front of them on the table.
"She's fine, she's with our boss," Danny answered, as he looked over at him. "Now, we just have some good honest questions for you. But first we brought you a gift."
"You brought me a gift?" Dylan asked, as he looked at the box as if he was expecting it to blow up right there in front of him. "Why don't I want to open it?"
"Oh, come on it's not going to blow up," Danny said, as he opened it and tilted it to one side to show it to Dylan. Dylan's face fell as he saw what was inside of it. "Now you wanna tell us why this little buggers match the ones we found in the safety deposit boxes we pulled from the robbery."
Dylan looked up and locked eyes with Danny's. "I have no idea," he said, as he leaned back in his chair. "But that's a sick joke to play. I don't think I want to talk to you anymore. I want to see my daughter and then talk to my lawyer."
"Good going Messer," Flack whispered to him, as he went up to his side. "Now he lawyer up we can't get him to talk."
"You should have just left us alone," Dylan hissed at Lindsay, as he grabbed her arm, causing Flack and Danny to turn and glare at him. "I'm sorry." He dropped his hand away. "My mistake officers. I didn't think of what I was doing."
"Come on, Miss Monroe," Danny said, as he held out his hand to her and led her out of the room. As soon as they were safely outside. He turned to face her. "You all right?"
"Yeah, I'm okay," she said, as she looked up at him with a small smile. "We got him."
"What you mean?" Hawkes asked, as he came up to their sides. "What did he do?"
"He grabbed Lindsay's arm," Danny said, as he looked at her with a confused look, then it clicked. "He touched her. His fingerprints are on her. Good think, Montana."
"I aim to please. Now let's see if we got a good enough print. Cause I really don't want to have to face sleaze bag again."
"Wouldn't blame you," both male CSI's said, as they followed her towards the lab.
