Chapter 12

Mac Taylor was officially mad and to get on the wrong side of Mac is not a wise choice. Mac was on a rampage to find his and maybe if he pisses him off more he'd kill him. Mac made his way to the lab with the disk in hand and Stella behind him. When they reached the lab to Mac's surprise was the rest of the team. Lindsey, Danny Flack and Hawkes.

"Don't you four have other cases to work on?" asked Mac

"We do," replied Danny "we're more interested in helping you two"

"We heard about the guy threatening Stella and sending her things and we want to help," stated Hawkes.

Mac nodded and looked at Stella for her approval. She look vulnerable she looked into Mac's eyes and could see confidence behind his blue eyes she nodded.

"Right since you all want to help you all have different tasks," stated Mac the team nodded. "Right Lindsey go over the photos and analyse them for prints, Danny I want you to analyse the flowers and see if you can find out where they came from, Flack I need you to check out where he works and go there and Hawkes you Stella and I are going to analyse this" Mac said as he held up the disk.

"What's on it?" asked Hawkes

"You don't want to know," replied Stella. Each of them knew what they had to do and carried out this as a normal investigation. As Hawkes, Mac and Stella where analysing the disk Stella felt uneasy at this. Hawkes noticed this.

"I think I'm going to help Flack if that's alright with you" asked Hawkes "This is between you and Stella" Mac nodded and Hawkes left.

It's amazing

How you can speak

Right to my heart

Without saying a word,

You can light up the dark

Mac looked at Stella and could see that she was clearly upset. Stella moved closer to him and laid her head on his shoulder. Normally Mac wouldn't show affection at work but he moved his arm and brought it around her shoulder. Stella's warm tears hit his blazer they weren't tears of defeat they were of pain that she had suffered at the end. Mac could sense this and looked down at her and could see she was crying he closed down everything to do with the disk. Stella noticed this and stood up and moved onto his lap she didn't care who was watching she needed him. Mac. She wrapped her arms around his middle and he wrapped his around her as protection.

"Want to talk?" he asked

"No I just want to stay like this" she replied. Stella rested her head in the side of Mac's and closed her eyes. Mac tightened his grip around her; he wanted this to end for her.

"Why is he doing this?" she whispered. Mac didn't have an answer to this and stayed in this position.

The smile on your face

Lets me know

That you need me

There's a truth

In your eyes

Saying you'll never leave me

The touch of your hand says

You'll catch me

Whenever I fall

You say it best

When you say

Nothing at all

Flack and Hawkes made their way to Benjamin's work place. A photo in one hand Flack could work out who he was. Flack felt Hawkes tap the side his arm with his elbow and was pointing to someone.

"I think we have found him" smiled Hawkes

"Wanna punch him or shall I" asked Flack

"Be my guest" Smiled Hawkes as he gestured with one hand. Flack nodded Benjamin turned round not knowing who they where.

"What do you want?" asked Benjamin.

"This" replied Flack as his fist collided with Benjamin's face. "You see Benjamin you've pissed me, Mac you know he is, my good friend Hawkes here and few people at the crime lab"

"Oh by the way NYPD" Hawkes replied sarcastically as he handcuffed him and shoved him into the back of the police car.

Back at the lab Danny's cell went of.

"Yeah" answered Danny

"It's Hawkes can you tell Mac we have him as his phone is switched off," asked Hawkes

"Sure on my way there" he replied and shut his phone. Danny made his way down to the lab where Mac and Stella were and stopped. He looked at the sight in front of him, his boss holding Stella who was sitting in his lap crying. He knocked on the door.

"Mac, Stel, I have good news we have him" stated Danny

"Good, He and I need to have a few words," replied Mac through his teeth. Stella moved to stand up. Mac also moved to stand up and reached for Stella's hand she slid her hand in his. Danny smiled and held the door for them Mac said his thanks and made his way to the interrogation room. When they arrived Flack was waiting outside the door. Mac turned to Stella.

"You don't have to come in," he told her

"I want to" she replied with a weak smile.

The smile on your face

Lets me know

That you need me

"Detectives" Benjamin smiled "did you like what I sent you?"

Without warning Mac let go of Stella's hand and pushed the table against him. Flack smiled to himself he'd seen Mac angry but, messing with Stella was something that would piss Mac off.

"Do I look like I did?" asked Mac

"Whoa I'm scared, why don't we ask the lady?" he replied as he leant sideways to look at Stella, who seemed calm at the moment. She walked towards him.

"Why?" she asked "Why me?"

"Well you did kill me brother," he laughed, "I thought sending you this would be fun"

Mac had, had enough of this and pulled the table back his fist went straight for his face causing Benjamin to fall of his chair. Flack pulled Stella back by he waist so the table wouldn't hit her.

"Listen to me you little punk" Mac said as he pulled him up by his shirt. "I should kill you right here and now for what you did to her"

"That sounded like a threat," replied Benjamin

"No that was a promise," answered Mac "since I can't do that I think a good prison sentence for life should do you. But, I do have the evidence to keep you there for even longer than life."

Stella had seen Mac angry and protective over her but not this much. Mac pulled him back up by his shoulder and shoved him to the wall.

"Cuff him," Mac stated. Flack walked over to him and cuffed him tight and took him by the arm and pulled him out.

"Guess where you going, you might see some of my friends they wont be happy to see you" Flack said.

Mac watched him leave breathing through his nose, Stella noticed and walked over to him.

"Hey, we got him" she tugged his hand. Mac began to relax at Stella's touch she put a hand to his face and turned his face towards her. She could see the anger in his eyes going down.

"I wish I could change what happened to you," he said.

"I would change the part where we admitted when we loved each other" she smiled. He rested his forehead against hers a single tear fell down his face"

"Neither would I, but, the thought of what happened made me angry" he said.

"I love you," replied Stella

"I love you too," he whispered as he leant in to kiss her. Stella moved to the kiss to make it a slow kiss. From behind the interrogation glass the director observed the two he smiled be happy he thought. He was about to leave till he heard Mac say

"Marry me?" the director turned to see the answer.

"Yes" she replied and pulled him back for another kiss.

The director left them alone and walked off to his office

The smile on your face

The truth in your eyes

The touch of your hand

Let's me know

That you need me
