"So how was Coney Island?" Flack inquired as Danny ducked under the crime scene tape.
"Not too bad." Danny replied. "I ended up with a blue hippo called Bert."
"Bert?" Flack questioned.
"She named it."
"How did you end up with it?"
"It turns out she's a better shot with a water pistol." Danny replied. "I think it was reciprocal for me giving her the baseball."
"I think she got the better end of the deal." Flack stated.
"Probably. So what've we got?"

"We're going to be here for hours." Lindsay said as she and Stella slowly picked up all the pieces of glass from the shattered window.
The suspect had put his hands on the glass window of the restaurant and to peer inside before he'd smashed the window and then shot the victim.
Since the bullets had been through and through and disintegrated on impact the prints were their best hope, along with witness sketches.
"It's all part of the job." Stella replied. "Then we get the fun part of trying to put it back together."
"Good thing I'm good a jigsaws."
They went on picking up glass for a few minutes before something caused them to look up.
"Get down." Mac yelled.
Lindsay and Stella ducked as car drove passed firing at machine gun at the scene.
Shots were fired back and one of the patrol cars took off after them calling in for back up as they went.
Mac checked on people.
"Are you both okay?" He came over to Stella and Lindsay.
"I'm fine." Stella replied.
"Lindsay."
"Yeah." She sat up holding her hand to her head.
"Here." Mac handed her and handkerchief to hold against the bloody cut. "I need an ambulance."
"I'm fine Mac." Lindsay insisted. "I just got caught by some flying glass."
"Let the EMTs decide that." Mac told her. "You're sure you're okay?" He asked Stella.
"I'm fine. How's everyone else?"
"No injuries other than Lindsay."
"That's lucky."
"Blanks." Mac replied.
"Who fires on a scene full of cops?" Lindsay asked.
"If they catch them you can ask."
"Detective Taylor an ambulance will be here in two minutes." One of the uniforms came over and informed him.
"Thanks."

Flack heard the call of shots fired over the radio; he heard the request for back up cars and the request for an ambulance.
He was just about to check on the situation when his cell phone rang.
"Flack." He answered.
"Don, it's Mac."
"Is everything okay? I just heard…"
"Everyone is fine. Lindsay is concerned about Danny. Did he hear?"
"Not yet. You want me to tell him?" Flack asked.
"Yes. Tell him everyone is fine, some idiot decided to fire a machine gun full of blanks at us."
"Is Lindsay going to call him?" Flack inquired.
"She will as soon as the EMTs check her out."
"I thought you said she was fine?" Flack asked.
"She has a cut on her forehead where she was hit by some flying glass. She'll be fine."
"I'll tell him, but the sooner she calls him the better." Flack stated.
"Tell him to finish there before he thinks of leaving."
"Okay." Flack replied. "I'm glad everyone is okay."
"So are we."
