Danny arrived in front of the building, he looked around, but didn't see anyone, he took his cell phone, and there were no signal. Danny entered the building, his gun in one hand, and his torch just underneath.
"Lindsay?" he yelled, but no one responded. "LINDSAY" he yelled again
"Danny...I'm here"
Her voice was desperate, and she sounded tired.
"Lindsay where are you?" he yelled
"DANNY..."
He followed the voice to a room at the end of the hallway. The door was locked so he kicked it open and found Lindsay handcuffed to a pipe.
"Lindsay, are you ok? Where's Sydney?" he asked as he tried to set her free.
"I don't know, she left ten minutes ago, my cellphone was in my back pocket, but couldn't use it until she left"
Since he couldn't open the handcuffs, he only had one solution.
"Ok, you have to trust me, okay Lindsay, everything will be fine, just close your eyes" he said calmly as he took his gun.
"What are you gonna do?"
"I can't open those damn cuff, so I'm gonna shoot in the chain, close your eyes"
Lindsay obeyed and closed her eyes. With one shoot he managed to set her free. As soon as she can free herself she jumped on Danny and hugged him.
"Danny..."
"It's okay, Linds, I'm here"
"I was so scared I thought she was going to kill me"
"It's okay"
"I'm sorry, I never had the chance to tell you how feel, I was afraid to die before telling you that, want to be with you"
"I'm here now, and I'm not gonna leave you okay, now let's get out of here..."
But before he had the chance to finish she kissed him passionately
"I love you Danny"
He looked into her eyes, and smiled
"I love you too Linds, love you since the first time saw you"
He hugged her tightly and kissed her neck, that's where he saw it, the hickey, she had a hickey in the back of her neck. He had given Sydney a hickey in the exact same place.
10 minutes ago
Sydney had gagged Lindsay.
"Don't you dare make any noise, you understand me?"
Lindsay glared at her and winked from the pain, her shoulder was bleeding and she was feeling more weak.
"If you attract any attention to yourself, I will kill that pretty little Danny and Donnie right in front of you"
Lindsay's eyes widened when she heard Sydney mention Don.
"Oops, forgot to mention that didn't I. Well, surprise, Donnie is downstairs. And that other guy with him, I kinda had to shoot him though. So, if you're not careful you may end up loses two of your boy friends in New York, God knows no one likes you any more in Montana, you know, with the shooting and how everyone think you're responsible, well actually I am, but hey, what's the difference between you and me"
A silent tear ran down Lindsay's cheek.
"Gotta go. Danny's coming to save me"
Sydney flashed a smile at Lindsay and left the room and turned off her lamp torch, now Lindsay was in an absolute darkness. Sydney went to the room just next to her and handcuffed herself with Lindsay's cuff to a pipe. She knew that the building was so dark that even with the door open and the light on in the room where Sydney was, nobody could see Lindsay but she could see her very clearly.
When Danny arrived Lindsay could see the shadows forming from the light of Danny's torch. She desperately wanted to call out to him, but she was feeling weaker as the time pass.
"Lindsay?" She heard him yell out and her stomach flipped.
He was trying to save her but he was going to get hurt, and it was all her fault. She opened her mouth as if to speak but Sydney beat her to it. Lindsay's breath hitched when she heard Sydney take her voice. Lindsay's voice was one of the few things that were different between her and Sydney, yet she still took it. When Sydney spoke again, she sounded more like herself; her voice had the harsher tone, a tone that Lindsay rarely used. Danny still came running to her like her prince in shining armour.
Danny and Sydney were quiet in the room, but they were still only talking. Lindsay was watching intently and a smile passed her lips when she saw Danny draw his gun and Sydney close her eyes, she thought he had finally realised that it was Sydney in the room. Lindsay closed her eyes and flinched when she heard Danny's gunshot but her eyes shot open and her jaw dropped, as far as it could, when she heard the bullet connect with the metal. She watched with disgust as her sister jumped on Danny and wrapped her arm around his neck. Sydney was smirking, knowing that Lindsay would be able to see her.
After a few moments, Sydney had released herself from Danny's grip, she was standing in front of Danny so Lindsay couldn't see her clearly. Despite not being able to see Sydney, Lindsay knew what was gong on when she saw Danny's head tilt and Sydney raised onto her tiptoes. Sydney threw her arms around Danny's neck and Danny had his arms around Lindsay's waist. The kiss didn't last for long but it didn't stop after one kiss either. One of them had said something to the other and Danny began to kiss Sydney's neck. Lindsay's stomach wrenched when she saw what Danny was doing, but smiled when she saw the look on his face. He had finally realised that he was making out with the wrong twin.
Lindsay followed Danny's next actions closely; he kissed Sydney's neck for a few more moments then stopped and looked her in the eyes. He had taken hold of one of Sydney's hands.
"You know Monroe, you were right?"
"Really? What about?"
Danny hit Sydney, rendering her unconscious on the ground.
"You're a sneaky bitch"
He took his handcuffed and put them on Sydney's hand, making sure to block her from any move
"Lindsay" Danny hollered
Lindsay tried to scream his name, but only managed a muffled noise. She tried to get Danny's attention by banging on the bed frame but it didn't make very much noise and it hurt her too much. She threw her feet up in the air in a huff and they crashed against the hard wooden floors. Lindsay finally found a way to get Danny's attention. She frantically stamped her feet and heard Danny coming closer.
"Lindsay?" he shouted again.
He was getting even closer to where she was now. She had stopped stamping her feet when she saw the flickers of light from his torch. He stood in the doorway of her room; he didn't need to shine his torch in there because he just knew she was there. Danny came running towards her and sat down in front of her.
"Oh my god Lindsay"
When he saw the wound he took his cellphone.
"This is Detective Messer need an ambulance right now, I'm in an abandoned building between Bay view avenue and W 36th street in Coney Island. There's an officer down..."
"No, there is another one, Sydney shot him in the basement"
"Two officer down, hurry"
"Danny" she said softly
"It's gonna be okay Montana"
He removed her gag carefully and before she had the chance to say anything, he kissed her. It was a short and sweet kiss at first then turned into an angry hard kiss. Lindsay could feel him bruising her lips but she didn't care, he could do anything to her and she wouldn't care. When she screamed for the pain they broke away.
"Sorry" he said
"No, don't be, I'm the one who should say that"
"What for? Tonight has made me realise, you mean the world to me and I don't know what I would do if I had lost you"
She smiled, "I love you Danny Messer" she finally said
"I love you too Montana"
"Now get me out of this"
"And my Montana is back."
He was releasing her from the restraints when he saw the burn marks on her stomach
"What did she do to you ?" he said as he looked at the red spots.
"Where we were young, caught her smoking one time, and said it to our father, and he grounded her after making her smoke the pack, she was sick for a week, and as we say, payback is a bitch"
"I'm gonna kill her, swear" he said full of rage
"Thanks Messer, but it won't be necessary" Lindsay pulled Danny's cell phone from his pocket "Mind if I borrow this?"
"Go ahead"
She dialled a number she knew to well
"Hi, this is Lindsay. She's here Jason…No, I'm fine…There was a hostage situation and one officer ending up dying…No, but heard the gunshot and the scream… Danny is going with me…Yes realise that Jase but he is the only other person with me andIam not waiting for someone to come down here just to escort me downstairs…. Just get here soon to pick up Syd…OK, the abandoned building, Bay view avenue, Coney island , not sure where exactly, she's in the first room on the left…Just GPS this phone, you're FBI for god sake…"
She hung up the phone.
"Thank you"
"No problem, you sounded friendly with him"
"I didn't have a very nice day, so can we skip the jealousy subject for now please?" she said
"I'm not jealous, 'm curious"
"Jason Thomas is the FBI agent who's been taking care of our case for ten years, when someone is spending nearly his entire career with you, you tend to get to know them personally"
"Hmm, I guess"
"Now come on, we have to find Flack"
"Whoa whoa whoa…Flack is the officer shot downstairs?"
"I don't know, I think it was someone else, it didn't sound like Flack. Come on"
She got up slowly and held her arm so that it hurts less. They left the room. Danny went downstairs first, Lindsay was stood at the top of the stairs ...
Danny went downstairs first; only going down a couple of steps when Lindsay let go of his hand and stayed at the top of the stairs.
"You coming?" he whispered up to her.
Lindsay shook her head "I'm gonna wait for FBI, I don't want to give her any chance to escape"
"Ok, be careful, take the gun"
He kissed her softly and went down the stairs. He was half way down when he saw Flack and Milton, he ran towards them.
"Flack buddy, you ok?"
"Yeah, I'm ok" he mumbled.
"Good, how long have you been down here?"
"I don't know, feels like forever"
"Ok, 'll get you out of this in a minute"
Danny began to untie Flack, using the scissors Milton had dropped.
"Where's Lindsay?"
"I'm up here Flack" Lindsay called down from the stairs
Flack's arms were now free and he started to free one of his ankles. It had only taken Danny a few minutes to free Flack completely.
"Thanks man" flack stood up and moved away from the chair, and Milton's body "Where is Sydney ?"
"She's upstairs, it's over, and for Milton FBI are sorting it, Lindsay told the agent working the case that there was an officer dead,. They should send their ME"
"Yeah. I still can't believe he's dead"
"How did it happen?"
"Some neighbors called the NYPD, they said they saw movements into the building since it was abandoned they thought maybe something was going on. Mac asked me to watch Lindsay but got a call and since it wasn't official had to go. She wanted to go to bed. told her that would leave her to sleep, so Milton and set up down here. He heard something outside so he left and, after a while, Sydney came down. She sorta took over pretty fast, didn't have time to get my gun and when did she already had hers pointed at my head. When she left, Milton came down to try and free me. He didn't get very far before she shot him in the head, she left him to die in front of me"
"That's harsh, even for her"
"No Dan, the woman doesn't have emotions. For her, that was just business"
"It's not personal, it's business" Danny said under his breath.
"What d'you say?"
"Oh, just something Sydney said to me before"
"I've seen many criminals, but even the most vicious serial killer have nothing to learn from that woman, she knows what she's doing, and don't think that anything here is her final plan" he said
"-Danny, FBI are here. They want me and Flack to go to the hospital, to be checked over" Lindsay shouted down
Danny and Flack walked upstairs and Danny led Lindsay to his car.
Danny had just switched the radio off, leaving him and Lindsay in silence. After a little while she decided to speak.
"I know about you and Sydney" She said looking outside
"What ?"
"I know about you and Sydney"
"Yeah, know you do. We already spoke about that, why are you telling me this now ?"
"You obviously couldn't have known when she first approached you" she said still not looking at him
"Yeah I had no idea"
"And you regretted it?"
"Yeah, I only wish it was you"
"Did you know it wasnt me the second time?" she said looking at him this time
"What?"
"Oh come off it Danny. Your little sex toy put pictures up in my apartment. She apparently had enough to cover the entire wall"
"She put them up...in your apartment?"
"Yes Danny, in my apartment" She took a breath, and it was his turn to speak but he didn't "Aren't you going to say something?"
"I don't know what to say to you, she was here and... don't know"
"You screwed my sister and all you can say it's she was here ?" she said rising her voice
"I wanted you, Ok, and for a moment, she was you"
"You don't fucking get it do you? You had me from the first day we met. Sure you were an arrogant prick who wanted to hate me, and believe me wanted to hate you too but just couldn't"
" told you how felt months ago, and you turned me off"
"You know things have changed since you came to see me in Montana."
"You told me you needed time" he said rising his voice too, this was not turning well
"I want to know why you chose her over me"
"I just told you why"
"Oh right yeah. She was "here". Well if you really loved me you would have waited until was ready. Not copping off with someone who looks like me"
"-Lindsay"
"Not only did you sleep with her but you marked her, and you want to know the funny part ? She doesn't only look like me but she has the same feelings as me as well. She is in love with you. You wanna know the part worse than that? She thinks you love her too. That's what actually tears me up inside. The fact that somewhere in that screwed up head of hers she actually thinks you love her. Maybe you do, after all she is far more confident than me, you have already slept together, hell why don't you just go off with her"
"-Lindsay"
"I'm not finished"
"Well you are now. You are talking crazy. Ok, I'm done talking about her, it's you Ok, it's only been you okay, you're the one love, screw up, and it's not gonna happen again. It's the only things that matter now, end of discussion. Now let's get your shoulder fix before you bleed out on my car seat"
Danny pulled the car into a parking space in front of the hospital and help Lindsay to get out as a medical team ran toward then with a wheelchair. They took her to the ER leaving Danny behind.
"Montana, I'll be waiting outside your room"
"Whatever"
"I Love you"
She didn't reply, she just went in the hospital without looking at him.
Later, Lindsay was with her doctor, her wound wasn't critical so she could walk out the hospital in the morning. Danny had entered Lindsay's room as she had just hung up her phone.
"Everything Ok Montana?"
She shook her head, her expression was blank.
"What's wrong. Who was on the phone?"
"Jason"
"What did he want?" There was a hint of jealousy in Danny's voice.
"He's dead"
"What?"
"Sydney escaped, she killed three FBI agent, including Jason, and she ran away"
"we are going to find her, and she'll go straight to jail, promise" He said kissed her temple
"No" she said softly"
"What..."
"We are not going to find her, she's gone"
"What make you said that ?"
"Because it's what would do" she finally said.
Danny sighed and kissed her softly.
