Episode 12 (Surprises)
Danny's Apartment
Danny woke up in his bed and rolled over to find the other side empty, he quickly lifted his head and saw a note on the pillow Lindsay had vacated
'Messer, don't freak out. Had to take care of something, Lucy is still sleeping. I left breakfast out see you soon xoxo Montana' and Danny smiled to himself slightly and laid back down but just as he was about to fall back asleep he heard a knock at his bedroom door
"Daddy?" Lucy questioned and Danny immediately smiled and stood up and opened the door
"Hey Luce" Danny smiled as she walked into the room
"Where's mommy?" Lucy asked jumping on the bed
"She went out, she'll be back soon" Danny told her
"Thanks for getting my dolls for me" Lucy smiled "They missed me"
"I'm sure they did" Danny smirked at her "You want some breakfast?"
"I always want breakfast" Lucy reminded her father causing him to laugh
"You are your fathers daughter" Danny smiled at her
"Everyone says that, what does it mean?" Lucy questioned
Police Station
Lindsay walked into the station and saw Mac sitting at Flack's desk
"Lindsay" Mac said as she walked over "I wasn't expecting to see you here"
"Well you know" Lindsay shrugged handing him a cup of coffee "I heard you were here all night, that's for you"
"Thanks" Mac said taking the cup "So I'm sure you didn't travel all the way down here to bring me coffee"
"No I didn't" Lindsay told him "I want to see him"
"No" Mac replied quickly knowing that was what she was going to say
"Mac I have to" Lindsay told him
"It's not a good idea for you or the investigation" Mac warned her and she sighed
"Mac I've been at the mercy of this man twice already" Lindsay told him "I have never been able to face him when I'm in control. I want to look that man in the eye and have him listen to me" she told him compassionately "He took a year of my life the least he can do is give me five minutes of his" she finished and Mac just watched her and then nodded
"Fine" Mac said to her then turned to an officer "Bring Troy into room one" and the officer nodded and walked off
"Thanks Mac" Lindsay said giving him a smile
"If you ever want to change career paths maybe you should look into being a lawyer" Mac teased lightly "If it gets to uncomfortable in there just say the word and he's out ok?"
"I know" Lindsay said nodding
"And do not let him get to you" Mac told her "I've been here all night playing his mind games"
"Ok" Lindsay said to him and officer came out of the room
"He's ready" the officer said and Mac nodded and Lindsay walked to the room and saw Calvin sitting with his head down, not even bothering to look up after a moment he looked up as Lindsay took her seat across from him
"Why hello Miss. Monroe" Calvin smiled at her surprised to her, Lindsay was taken back that he had exactly quoted Danny "What can I do for you this fine morning?"
"I want you to listen to me" Lindsay told him
"Always baby, always" Calvin smiled leaning in the table "I've got nothing else to do"
"I want you to know how much I hate you" Lindsay started "You took a part of me I'll never get back a year ago and you did it to stick it to someone else. You ruined my life, you destroyed my family I hope it was all worth it to you"
"It was" Calvin smiled "I'm glad I have that effect on you"
"You had that effect" Lindsay told him "Not anymore. I've moved on from it now. I've got my family back now and you are going away for a long time. When I heard why you were targeting Danny I felt pity on you, no one should loose someone they love in a violent way. But it all just washed away, you went after my husband, my daughter and me and you've made your last mistake. I'm going to be at your trial everyday, I am going to be sitting front row and center when you're being executed. I am going to haunt you the same way you haunted me and if you ever think of coming near my family again my face will be the last one you'll see because I will kill you" she told him and Calvin sat there surprised then after a few minutes spoke
"I didn't think you had all that fight in you Detective Monroe" Calvin said to her seriously "You probably could of used it a year ago"
"We're done now" Lindsay said standing up
"Oh Lindsay" Calvin said stopping her before she walked out the door
"No matter what kind of front you put on, no matter where you go in life- I'll always be a part of you" Calvin told her "You can deny it all you want but I'm the one that's going to be haunting you for the rest of your life. And if I die tomorrow, I'll die happy knowing that" he finished that Lindsay walked out of the room
"You heard all that?" Lindsay asked Mac
"Yea" Mac frowned "You did good"
"I meant it Mac" Lindsay said to him "But he's right, he's always going to be with me"
"Only if you let him" Mac told her "It's only been a year, give yourself some time"
"Yea" Lindsay agreed
"Now go home to Danny and my goddaughter" Mac ordered "I don't want to see either of you for another few days ok?"
"Thanks Mac" Lindsay smiled then left the station
Danny's Apartment
Lindsay walked into the apartment and found Danny and Lucy in the living room watching TV
"Hi mom" Lucy waved as she walked in
"Hey" Danny said standing up and walking over to her "So where'd you sneak off to earlier?"
"To meet my other boyfriend, I had to break the news to him I was getting married again" she teased
"That's not funny" Danny replied with a smirk giving Lindsay a slow kiss
"I went to the police station" Lindsay told him honestly
"Why?" Danny asked her
"I had to see him Danny" Lindsay told him "I had to, I never would have been able to rest if I didn't speak to him"
"And how'd that work out for you?" Danny questioned, still annoyed she went to see him by herself
"Well I thought good" Lindsay shrugged removing her jacket "Then he had to get the last word"
"What did he say?" Danny asked her seriously
"It's not important" Lindsay told him and she waited for him to argue and was surprised when he didn't
"You're right" Danny agreed "It's not, he's not. Let's just move on"
"Sounds good" Lindsay told him "So what's the plan for the day?"
"Getting married" Danny told her casually as he walked past her into the kitchen and started to wash some dishes
"Today?" Lindsay questioned
"You still want to marry me right?" Danny asked
"Of course" Lindsay replied
"So let's do it" Danny told her "You should be honored I'm even telling you this time" he said with a wink
"Oh here I was expecting to be going out for dinner and you'd swing by the courthouse and have everything set up again" Lindsay teased
"Well since we both agreed to get married this time I wont blindside you again" Danny said to her
"You sure about this now?" Lindsay questioned "There's no backing out after today"
"I have never been more sure about anything in my life" Danny said walking over to Lindsay and giving her a kiss
"Ew" Lucy stated walking into the kitchen "You said kissing boys is bad daddy"
"For you kissing boys is bad" Danny corrected "For other people it's ok"
"Oh" Lucy said nodding and Lindsay laughed
"Hey so how do you feel about going to a wedding today?" Danny questioned
"I've never been to one before!" Lucy squealed
"Well today's your lucky day Luce" Lindsay told her "Your dad and I are getting married"
"Really?" Lucy questioned
"Really" Danny said nodding and Lucy clapped
"Is it going to be like the little mermaid wedding?" Lucy asked with a smile
"No" Danny told her quickly "It's the opposite of that"
"What am I going to wear!" Lucy yelled out
"Nothing fancy" Lindsay told her as Lucy ran into her room "I'm going to go help her get ready"
"Ok I'm going to call the courthouse" Danny told her then Lindsay walked into Lucy's room
Courthouse
Danny, Lindsay and Lucy walked down the familiar hallway to the courthouse
"You nervous?" Danny questioned Lindsay
"Yea" Lindsay smiled "I think everyone is nervous on their wedding day"
"You weren't nervous the first time" Danny pointed out
"Because I didn't know I was getting married" Lindsay teased
"You make it sound like I abducted you and held a gun to your head" Danny teased right back "You wanted it more then I did you just needed a little push"
"You're right" Lindsay said as they stopped outside the door
"You ready?" Danny questioned
"Yea" Lindsay smiled and Danny leaned in and kissed her, as they opened the door Lindsay had a strange case of déjà vu as Mac and Stella were already inside
"So we're doing this again huh?" Mac questioned as he walked over and hugged Lindsay
"Thanks for being here guys" Lindsay said as Stella took her turn and gave her a hug as well
"We wouldn't miss it for the world" Stella smiled "We've made it our personal mission to be the only witness's every time you get married" she teased
"Hey" Danny said to her "This is the last time" he told her with a smirk
"It better be" Stella warned
"Uncle Mac" Lucy waved "This is my first wedding!"
"Well actually you were at the first one" Danny mumbled quietly as he paid the clerk and Lindsay playfully hit his arm
"This is exciting huh?" Mac questioned and Lucy shook her head
Hospital
"Uncle Flack!" Lucy yelled running into his room
"Hey kiddo" Flack smirked "You come here by yourself or something?"
"Yea right" Lucy replied with an eye roll then Lindsay and Danny walked in
"You ready to get out of here or what?" Danny asked
"Ready as I'll ever be" Flack smirked
"Guess what we did today!" Lucy yelled with excitement
"I have no idea" Flack told her
"Mommy and Daddy got married today!" Lucy smiled
"Congratulations" Flack said to them with a genuine smile "I'm happy for you guys"
"Thanks" Lindsay smiled
"I am a little insulted I haven't been invited to any of your weddings though, starting to take it personally" Flack warned them
"We invited you into our home that's enough" Danny said back to him
"I suppose" Flack retorted
"Don't worry Uncle Flack it was real boring anyway" Lucy whispered and he smirked
"You always know how to make me feel better" Flack smirked at the young girl
Police Station
Mac walked into the station and was stopped by Chief Sinclair
"What's going on?" Mac questioned noticing the FBI agents in the station
"They're here to talk to Troy" Sinclair told him and Mac's eyes widened
"He's got some information for them, he's brokering a deal for himself right now" Sinclair told him. Mac immediately went to walk towards the agent but Sinclair stopped him
"There's nothing you can do" Sinclair told him
"Are you kidding me?" Mac questioned "That man abducted two of my CSI's, escaped police, tried to abduct a child and raped a cop" he spat at him
"There is no proof of anything" Sinclair told him "Detective Monroe never went official on the rape it would be her word against his and as for the attempted abduction that's something else that was never made official. Right now his only charges are the abductions"
"He murdered Detective Jake Spencer" Mac told him and Sinclair sighed
"That's what I believe but there's no evidence" Sinclair informed him "This is out of our hands now"
"So he gets to walk?" Mac questioned angrily
"Nothing is official yet but that's what it's looking like" Sinclair told him "If he gives up the information he promised then he'll be out of here before you know it"
"What kind of justice system is this!" Mac yelled at Sinclair
"You should know better then anyone with lack of evidence the less likely the conviction" Sinclair told him sternly "Detective Monroe should have came forward after she was rescued about the attack"
"So this is her fault?" Mac questioned him
"In some ways yes" Sinclair said as Mac slightly rolled his eyes, Lindsay was not to blame for this and Mac knew that "If we had more to go on we could fight this. But we don't so we can't. But I'm sure when he's released there will be cops on him"
"Oh that's great" Mac replied sarcastically "So I just go and tell the two CSI's he tortured that he's out but don't worry he's got two uniformed cops on him? Give me a break Chief"
"I understand you are protective over your team" Sinclair told him "I get it, I really do so am I. But right now there's nothing. My hands are tied" he finished then walked away. As he did Calvin Troy was being led out of the interrogation room in cuffs and looked over to Mac and smiled then continued to walk towards another room
Danny/Lindsay Apartment
Danny, Lindsay and Lucy were helping Flack get settled in the guest room
"Here you go Uncle Flack" Lucy said handing him a bell
"What's this for?" Flack questioned the young girl
"Whenever you need something ring it and will help you" Lucy smiled and Danny sighed
"Give me the bell" Danny said to Flack with his hand extended and Flack just smirked
"No" Flack said still smiling "I like this idea"
"Me too" Lucy agreed "I saw it on a tv show"
"See sweetie that's TV" Danny said kneeling down to be eye level with is daughter "Uncle Flack here will take advantage of the bell"
"What does that mean?" Lucy asked confused
"That means anytime Uncle Flack wants to be annoying he'll ring that bell" Danny told her
"He would not Daddy" Lucy argued firmly "Right Uncle Flack?"
"I would never take advantage of the bell" Flack said seriously to Lucy and Danny sighed
"As soon as you fall asleep that bell is mine" Danny said in a low whisper
"You'll have to find it first" Flack laughed then Danny's phone went off
"Messer" Danny said into the phone "Yea alright I'll be right there" he said then hung up as Lindsay walked in
"What's up?" Lindsay asked
"It was Mac he needs me down at the station" Danny said putting his phone away then walked over to give Lindsay a kiss "I'll be back as soon as I can"
"I'll be waiting, don't forget it's our wedding night" Lindsay whispered as Flack rolled his eyes
"Oh I haven't forgot" Danny whispered pulling Lindsay into another kiss
"Ew" Lucy said
"I agree with the kid" Flack retorted and Danny rolled his eyes
"I'll be back" Danny said then walked away
"I'll be here" Flack yelled after him
Police Station
Danny walked into the station and found Mac at Flack's desk
"What's going on?" Danny asked his boss
"Looks like Calvin Troy is going to walk" Mac told him
"What? Are you kidding me?" Danny asked getting increasingly angry "He killed a cop, kidnapped two more and raped my wife" Danny spat at him
"I don't like this anymore then you do, but we don't have the evidence for all those charges and the rest of the charges are being reduced or dropped in exchange for information for the FBI" Mac told him
"And what about the safety of my family? Does that not matter to them?" Danny asked angrily
"I called you down here because the FBI wants to talk to you" Mac said to him
"Good I'd love to have a conversation with whoever is in charge" Danny muttered
"Danny you have to keep your cool here" Mac warned "We still want to give you and Lindsay and Lucy protection-"
"How did that help last time Mac?" Danny asked him "He shot Flack to get to Lindsay! He must have something really good on someone"
"He does" Mac told him "I wasn't told all the details but there talking about a huge under ground arms dealing in Manhattan. They need him out and wired"
"And these guys aren't going to figure out that he was released from prison?" Danny asked "Good I hope they figure it out and shoot him"
"Danny I do not like this anymore then you do believe me" Mac argued "But this is the way its going to be"
"Detective Messer I presume?" an FBI agent stated walking over to them
"Yea" Danny replied coolly
"I assume you're going to have some questions" the agent said "I'm agent Sykes"
"I only have one question" Danny started "How could you let this man walk"
"He's not walking Detective" Agent Sykes replied "He's going away for the abduction of both you and your wife and the shooting of Detective Flack but first he's willing to help us out"
"What a guy" Danny remarked sarcastically
"He's going to be watched closely" Agent Sykes promised
"Why is he doing this? Why is helping you?" Danny questioned
"He has some requests in regard of his prison sentence" the Agent told him "We wouldn't have agreed to this if he expected to shorter time"
"He's going to run" Danny told him passionately "He did it before and he'll do it again"
"That's going to be impossible" Agent Sykes told him briskly
"Do not underestimate him he's smarter then he appears" Danny warned
"We need assurance you're not going to seek him out while he's working undercover" Agent Sykes told him
"You think I'm a threat to him!" Danny yelled
"We've read your file Detective" Agent Sykes told him
"Really well have you read his?" Danny shot back "The man killed two women, raped my wife, killed a detective and shot another one! He tried to take my daughter and kill me and my wife and you're concerned about my file?"
"The murder of the two women was never proven back to him he was just a suspect" Agent Sykes started
"Give me a break" Danny replied throwing his hands up
"The murder of Detective Spencer is still being investigated and the alleged rape of your wife-" the Agent started but was cut off
"Alleged?" Danny asked cutting him off "It happened believe me"
"I understand that you and your wife went threw a divorce" The Agent told him as Mac watched him closely "The timing of all this is very odd. You don't think your wife could have possible-"
"Don't finish that sentence" Danny warned grabbing him by the collar
"Danny" Mac warned trying to pry Danny off Agent Sykes
"He admitted it to me" Danny said to him in a low voice finally being pulled off of him by Mac
"We're done here" Mac informed both of them and Agent Sykes gave him one last look and walked away "Danny-"
"No Mac" Danny cut him off "I've been trying to be calm about all this but I can't"
"I understand and Agent Sykes was out of line" Mac told him "Why don't you and Lindsay take some time off"
"And do what?" Danny questioned "Pretend none of this happened?"
"No take some time off and let me handle this here" Mac told him
"And what are we going to do? Lock ourselves in our apartment and wait for him strike again?" Danny asked angrily
"No" Mac said to him "Take a trip go to Florida, Montana I don't know. Take Lindsay, Lucy hell even Flack but sitting around here is going to do you no good"
"I've got to go home and tell my wife that this maniac is back on the streets" Danny mumbled then left the station
Danny and Lindsay apartment
"This is the best part!" Lucy smiled sitting next to Flack on the couch, while Lindsay was in the kitchen
"I don't get it" Flack mumbled
"What's not to get?" Lucy questioned
"If he loves Arial why is he marrying the witch?" Flack asked Lucy
"Because the witch put an evil spell on him and Arial!" Lucy exclaimed "I want to marry someone just like the Prince"
"I don't know Luce" Flack argued "He's making a lot of bad mistakes here he's about to marry another women"
"Uncle Flack" Lucy said sighing dramatically "It's not his fault"
Just then Danny walked in quietly and found Lindsay in the kitchen
"What's going on?" Danny asked nodding towards the living room
"Lucy is trying to explain the Little Mermaid to Flack, he's having a hard time understanding" Lindsay teased
"It's a Disney movie what is there to not understand?" Danny shouted over to Flack
"Sorry Mess I haven't seen this movie nearly as much as you have" Flack shot back
"Boys" Lindsay warned with a smile "I went from having one child to three"
"I have to talk to you" Danny said to her "In the bedroom"
"Alright" Lindsay said unsurely and followed Danny into the bedroom and closed the door "Don't sugar coat it, tell me what happened"
"They're letting Troy out to do undercover work for the feds" Danny told her outright
"Of course they are" Lindsay mumbled taking a seat on the edge of the bed
"They assure me that he's going to be watched" Danny informed her
"You're not buying it?" Lindsay asked
"I don't like it" Danny corrected "There's a difference"
"So what now?" Lindsay asked
"Mac suggested we take off for a little bit" Danny told her "I think we should. We can take Flack with us"
"And go where?" Lindsay asked
"Montana for a little, you can see your family" Danny told her
"I don't like the idea that I have to leave my home because of him" Lindsay said to him "I hate giving him that power"
"We're not giving him anything" Danny corrected "We don't have to make any decisions yet but I think taking off is something we should consider"
"Alright" Lindsay reluctantly agreed as Danny took a seat next to her
"I really mean it this time Linds" Danny started "I'm not going to let him near you or Lucy ever again"
"I know" Lindsay said forcing a smile and Danny pulled her into a kiss, the fell backwards onto the bed and Danny rolled on top of Lindsay but were quickly interrupted by the sound of a bell
"I'm going to kill him" Danny muttered picking himself off of Lindsay who was laughing and Danny ushered out the door into the living room. He found Lucy and Flack on the couch and Lucy was ringing the bell
"Uncle Flack told me to do it" Lucy said pointing at Flack quickly dropping the bell
"Tattle tail" Flack muttered under his breath
"I'm breaking that bell" Danny warned walking towards the bell and Flack grabbed it
"Heads up Luce!" Flack yelled tossing it to Lucy who ran down the hall past Lindsay with it
"Be careful" Lindsay yelled after Lucy as Danny chased her and grabbed her and started to tickle her to get her to drop the bell
"Here mommy!" Lucy shouted threw giggles throwing the bell to Lindsay who quickly tossed it to Flack
"Hey" Flack warned Danny "I'm recovering here from a serious wound"
"Give me that bell" Danny warned putting Lucy down who was laughing hysterically
"I don't think I can do that Danno, your daughter gave me this bell and I promised to use it" Flack argued casually "I don't want to be the one to break her heart"
"How about I break something on you" Danny smirked
"Children" Lindsay warned "Dinner"
"I think I'm going to stay here forever" Flack smiled proudly "Hot meals, good movies" he continued as he slowly stood up and walked carefully into the kitchen
"Why don't you just get a wife?" Danny asked as they all took a seat at the table
"Why would I get my own when I'm living with yours?" Flack smirked at him
Thanks for the reviews everyone! Sorry it took me so long to post, I had about 90% of the chapter written a month ago and then couldn't decided how I wanted to finish it. Let me know what you think :)
