During the investigation, Don Flack had rounded up all witnesses in the arcade, including that of Jake Perkins' friends. They had said that three guys had come up to the man at the next machine (Camaioni), and had said to have had 'a deal'. Though the teenagers weren't paying that much attention to the group, it was obvious that the men had a beef to pick with the deceased. Camaioni had backed away from his machine, and was in the way of the teenager's views, so they couldn't see much, but shortly there after, a gun shot range out, and the man fell to the floor. As did their friend Jake. The friends hurled themselves towards Jake, as the men bolted for the back.

Two days after she was called, Lindsay arrived in New York.

"Excuse me, Detective Monroe?" Stella met with Lindsay at the airport. Mac wanted Lindsay to be as comfortable as possible when she returned.

"I'm Detective Bonasera, you can call me Stella." The brunette Detective extended her hand to the younger woman.

"Lindsay." She shook her hand.

They started walking thought the busy terminal to the exits.

"Mac has sent me to be your personal chauffeur and tour guide for the day." Stella smiled warmly.

Lindsay returned the smile. "He sure does like to plan. He arranged my flight, and spoke with my boss."

"Yup, connections will get you everywhere." Mac was always on the ball.

Lindsay let her eyes drift around the airport terminal. It still looked the same as it did when she left, maybe even better.

The ride to the NY Crime Lab had been a silent one. Stella had a few questions, but decided that Lindsay would speak when she felt like it. Stella didn't want to pry into things she had no business knowing.

Lindsay's head flooded with various memories, sightings and questions. "That was the street we crossed to get to school… that was the restaurant we went to on our first date… is Danny here?... does he know?... what if I meet the boys' adoptive parents?...

Only when they reached the Break room and got a cup of coffee did Lindsay speak.

"There's not a day goes by where I don't think about him." her eyes fixed lazily on the leg of a chair.

Stella sat on the other end of the sofa in silence. She wasn't sure if Lindsay had meant the boy or Danny.

"I wonder what he looks like." again Stella wasn't sure as to whom she was referring to.

"I wonder if he had his father's eyes." Ah, the boy. "The piercing blue eyes that burrow down to the depths of your soul."

Stella smiled, but still said nothing. What was she to say? 'Yes Danny does have those blue eyes, and oh by the way, I work with him?'

Mac opening the break room door saved her from having to say anything.

"Ms. Monroe? Mac Taylor." he extended a hand.

Lindsay took his hand with a weak smile "Lindsay."

"Could you come with me please? The paper work is in my office."

Mac led Lindsay and Stella to his office.

He gestured to Lindsay to take a seat, while he spoke with Stella in the doorway. He whispered low enough so Lindsay couldn't hear.

"I told Danny not to come around, but if he does, make sure he comes no where near my office."

Stella nodded, and then turned to Lindsay. "It was nice meeting you Lindsay, but I have a feeling I'll be seeing you again." Stella's smiled, then turned and left.

"I hope she wasn't too perky for your liking." Mac smiled

"No, she's very nice. After a long flight, it's kinda refreshing."

Mac sat down on the other side of the desk and took out the paper work.

"I know this is going to be difficult. You can take all the time you like...Are you ready?"

"Yes."
