Episode 14 (Undo it)
Outside of a run-down motel Danny pulled over and watched as Calvin Troy walked into a room. He then double-checked to make sure his gun still had its bullets. He sighed deeply then took his seatbelt off and stepped out of the car.
As Danny started to walk across the street he pulled out the revolver but then felt a hand on his shoulder
"What are you doing Danny?" the voice asked and he turned around slightly startled
"Mac?" Danny questioned "What are you doing here?"
"I could ask you the same thing" Mac said then nodded towards his gun "Put it away" he instructed
"Mac just turn around and walk away" Danny told him
"I can't do that Danny" Mac said to him "Put the gun away"
"If you want to arrest me you can do it, after I do what I came here to do" Danny said as he started to walk but Mac grabbed his arm
"I don't want to arrest you Danny but believe me I will" Mac threatened "Think about Lucy and Lindsay"
"That's exactly what I am doing" Danny told him "I need to protect them Mac"
"And who is going to protect them when you're rotting in prison?" Mac questioned "You're smarter then this!" he yelled "Do us both a favor and put the gun away"
Danny eyed Mac and after a moment put the gun away
"What are you even doing here?" Danny asked him
"I've been tailing Calvin Troy myself" Mac told him "Wanted to make sure of where he was"
"You have an entire lab to run you don't need to be following him around" Danny told him
"I can multi-task" Mac replied
"So lets get this over with" Danny sighed "Bring me in, do whatever you're supposed to"
"I'm not bringing you in" Mac informed him "As far as I'm concerned this little incident never happened" he said to him which surprised Danny because he knew how by the book Mac was "I know what it's like to be helpless to protect the ones you love Danny but you're not"
"You should have seen there faces today Mac" Danny said to him "It's not fair that my wife and daughter have to live in fear while this guy gets to run around free"
"It's not fair but we've been threw worse as a team" Mac told him "And believe me Calvin Troy will slip up again and there will be no going back"
"I'm sick of being on his time table!" Danny shouted
"Go home Danny" Mac instructed "Go home to your wife and daughter and will discuss this tomorrow"
"Mac-" Danny started
"Please Danny" Mac said more firmly and Danny gave up and got back in his car and took off.
He walked into his apartment quietly and removed his jacket
"Hey" Flack said startling him
"Jesus Flack" Danny said in a low whisper "What are you doing?"
"I got hungry" Flack shrugged eating ice cream "What are you doing? Where were you?"
"Went for a walk" Danny lied going to his closet and pulling out his lock box and placing his gun inside of it
"With a piece?" Flack questioned "Am I going to have to testify you were home all night?"
"It didn't get that far" Danny confided
"What were you thinking Danny?" Flack questioned angrily "You have any idea how crazy you seem right now"
"The only interest I have is protecting my family" Danny said to him "And if I had to sacrifice my freedom for them then so be it"
"How did you even know where he was?" Flack questioned
"An old friend of Louie's owed me a favor, he knew" Danny told him
"This isn't you" Flack said to him "What happened tonight Danny?"
"I went there, found him at his motel, got of my car only to be stopped by Mac" Danny said to him and Flack sighed "He told me to leave"
"What was Mac doing there?" Flack asked
"Tailing Troy I guess" Danny shrugged
"Let me ask you something, what if Mac wasn't there?" Flack asked him
"Then Calvin Troy would be dead right now" Danny told him
"That's not the answer and you know it" Flack said to him disappointed
"You don't know Flack" Danny said to him "If it was someone you loved what would you do?" that made Flack think back to when he shot the gunmen that killed Jess
"I do know" Flack told him "That kind of guilt will eat you alive, believe me"
"Danny" they heard from the end of the hallway and saw Lindsay
"I'm going to bed" Flack said excusing himself and leaving
"Where were you?" Lindsay asked Danny
"No where" Danny told her and Lindsay sighed
"You can't kill him Danny" Lindsay told him "It will make you no better then he is"
"Just go to bed Lindsay" Danny sighed to her as he poured himself something to drink
"We fought so hard to get back to where we are now" Lindsay told him "Don't throw it all the way Lucy needs you, I need you"
"What about when you needed me most?" Danny asked her
"It's not your fault" Lindsay insisted
"You can say it and believe it if you want but I know" Danny said to her "I protect people everyday on the job, and my one job my most important job is to protect my family and I couldn't do that"
"You have to let it go" Lindsay said wrapping her arms around his back leaning her head against his back
"How am I supposed to do that?" Danny asked her
"It takes time" Lindsay whispered "But just focus on the fact that I'm here and I'm ok and so is Lucy"
"I don't know what I would do without you two" Danny said turning around and pulling her into a hug
"Well you wont have to know because we're in it for the long haul" Lindsay teased as Danny kissed her head lightly
"I love you" Danny said not letting go
Next Morning
Danny and Lindsay were fast asleep in their bed, with his arms wrapped around Lindsay. Lucy peeked her head in and decided to leave them be. She then went to her Uncle Flack's room and saw he was also still sleeping and quietly closed his door. Lucy was already wide-awake and dressed for school even though it was only 5:30 in the morning. She was too anxious to sleep. She went to cupboard and pulled out her favorite cereal then went to the refrigerator and carefully took out the milk. She then looked up and realized that the bowls were to high up for her to reach. She quietly pushed a chair over to the counter and climbed up and reached for a bowl as she did so three more glass bowls came tumbling down causing Lucy to cut her arm. Which left her crying very loudly.
All three sleeping adults- Danny, Lindsay and Flack jumped out of their beds but Lindsay was the first to reach the kitchen and found Lucy on the floor holding her arm. Danny and Flack both came out with their guns but quickly put lowered them when they saw Lucy alone
"What happened Luce?" Lindsay asked looking at the deep cash on her daughter arm
"I was- I was" Lucy tried to say threw tears
"I think she needs stitches Danny" Lindsay said looking at the cut and Danny handed his gun to Flack as Danny walked over to check on his daughter
"Let me see Luce" Danny said kneeling down to examine her arm as well
"It hurts" Lucy cried
"I know Luce" Danny said "Yea let's take her to the emergency room" he said turning to Lindsay
"But school" Lucy sniffled
"Not today kiddo" Danny said grabbing a dishtowel and wrapping it around her arm. Lindsay came back out with Lucy's jacket and Danny placed it on her. Then quickly picked her up "You'll be alright?" Danny asked Flack who nodded
"Yea go" Flack said to him and the three of them left, leaving Flack holding two guns. It bothered him that such an innocent occurrence caused so much fear that both he and Danny went straight for there guns. It was the price of living in fear.
A few hours later Danny, Lindsay and Lucy arrived back at the apartment and found Mac and Flack in the living room talking
"Hi Uncle Mac" Lucy smiled
"Hey Luce I heard you had an accident" Mac smiled handing her a new stuffed animal "You have to be more careful"
"I will" Lucy smiled giving Mac a kiss on the cheek "Thank you!" then she ran to her room
"Mac" Danny said half expecting Mac to arrest him "What can we do for you?"
"I'm here to drop off a be-laded wedding present" Mac told him handing him an envelope and Danny carefully opened it
"Four tickets to Montana?" Danny questioned
"The plane leaves at six tonight" Mac informed him
"Mac-" Lindsay started
"It's for the best" Mac told her "I know you don't want to feel like your running from this guy but it's the best thing you can do for now"
"Why do I have to go?" Flack questioned
"Because you're injured and in case any of Lindsay's brothers are there you're going to need to back Danny in a fight" Mac informed him seriously but was only teasing
"I don't know if my family-" Lindsay started
"I spoke to them" Mac told her "I know I probably over-stepped here a bit but I need to get Calvin Troy back in prison where he belongs and I can't do that with all of you here, I wont risk you guys getting hurt"
Lindsay knew there was no way out of it and finally smiled at Mac
"Thanks Mac" Lindsay smiled walking over and giving him a kiss on the cheek "I'm going to tell Lucy" she said and excused herself
"Mac you don't have to do this" Danny told his boss seriously
"Can you guarantee me that last night wont happen again?" Mac asked him
"Yes" Danny said to him "It was a lapse in judgment and that wont happen again"
"Good" Mac said nodding "But you're still going. Calvin Troy has made this a game at the expense of Lindsay and Lucy. It's best for everyone involved if you take off for a week"
"Calvin Troy is going to be back in prison in a week?" Danny questioned
"If I have anything to say about it" Mac said to him seriously
"What about the lab? They can't work without all three of us" Danny said to him
"The lab is covered, I had a couple of CSI's from New Jersey helping out" Mac told him "Everything is covered, you were all owed vacation time anyway and Flack's injured and can't work for a few more weeks anyway"
"What's even in Montana?" Flack questioned more to himself then the group
"Wheatfield's" Danny told him and Flack sighed
"Are there bars?" Flack asked him and Danny nodded "Alright I'll go"
"I'm going to check on Lucy" Danny said walking away and then Mac turned to Flack
"You're ok with this right?" Mac asked "Because I can send another officer with them"
"Nah" Flack said waving his hand "Do you really think Troy would follow with them?"
"Not on my watch but it's always a possibility" Mac said to him "I don't know how he's going to react when he finds out there gone"
"So you really believe him working with the Feds is just to buy him time to get to them?" Flack asked
"Absolutely" Mac told him "They're safer as far as way as possible"
"Alright well I'll guard them with my life" Flack told him
"You have to look out for yourself too you were just shot twice" Mac said to him
"I'm already better then new" Flack smirked "Must be all the Little Mermaid I've watched in the past few days"
"I bought that movie for Lucy I'm glad she's gets so much enjoyment out of it" Mac smirked
"So I have you to thank for the fact that I know "part of this world" by heart" Flack snorted
Lucy's Room
"Can I ride the horses mom?" Lucy asked as Lindsay packed a bag
"Sure" Lindsay smiled
"With proper equipment" Danny added "Helmet, knee guards- all that stuff" he said as Lindsay laughed
"I know how to ride a horse Daddy I'm not you" Lucy told him as she placed her hands on her hips
"Oh yea when did you become such an expert?" Danny questioned
"Last summer, Mom and I went to Montana for a few days right mommy" Lucy said to her and she nodded
"Oh yea I forgot" Danny said realizing that was during the time of there divorce and he had missed a lot "Hey Luce why don't you go thank your Uncle Mac for the tickets I need to talk to your mom for a minute"
"Ok" Lucy shrugged then left the room
"What?" Lindsay asked him
"I haven't seen your family in years" Danny said to her
"Ok" Lindsay said not following
"Are they ok with us being back together?" Danny questioned folding his arms
"Why wouldn't they be?" Lindsay asked as she kept her on the task of packing
"You're not looking at me" Danny smirked
"As far as my family knows I took full responsibility for the divorce Danny" she told him honestly "I never threw you under the bus"
"Do they know what happened to you?" Danny asked and Lindsay reluctantly looked up at him
"No and I'd like to keep it that way" Lindsay said to him "It's not there business"
"They're your family" Danny said to her
"Danny they can't know" Lindsay told him seriously "Please"
"Hey they wont hear it from me" Danny said to her
"You know my issues with my family" Lindsay said to him and he nodded
"I know" Danny said to her "Well when things get a little tense will just leave Flack with your family and will sneak off with Lucy"
"Don't be cruel he's already suffering from two gun-shot wounds" Lindsay smirked
"It's payback for the bell" Danny shrugged
"I just hope we can get threw this trip drama free" Lindsay said to him
"Yea well just keep thinking that once it's all over then we get to come home and all of this Calvin Troy stuff will be in the past" Danny assured her
"The one shinning light of this trip" Lindsay told him seriously
