Five years later.

Lindsay was sat at her desk, the day was quite calm and she didn't have anything to do while she was waiting for the result of a DNA test on rape case she was investigate with Stella. She opened Google on her computer and began her daily research. All the same since three years. Sydney Monroe a couple of articles appeared on the screen but nothing new. After all she was a contract murderer, her job was to be discreet, but she did find some information during those few years. When Lindsay lost her, she was in Las Vegas, she have been filmed by a surveillance camera at the Cesear palace, it was two years ago. One of the CSI's of the night shift in Vegas contacted her when a famous plastic surgeon was killed in his suite the same night, it was Sydney's job. And after that, nothing, she had no idea where she was or what was she doing, and that was terrifying her.

Danny came in the office carrying a little girl in his arm, she was about 3 years old, with bright blue eyes and dark blond wavy hair.

"Hi Mommy" Danny said smiling to Lindsay.

Lindsay smiled back and went to kiss her daughter.

"Hi honey" she said to her daughter as she took her from Danny's arm "Did you have a good time with Daddy?"

"Yeah, we went to central park and she met a new friend" He said kissing Lindsay.

"A new friend really? Is he still crying? " she asked smiling.

Danny glared at her.

"It was just one time Montana, and the guy was way to old to try to kiss her"'

"He was 5, Dan. I can't wait for her to be sixteen and see you scared away all her boyfriends"

He kissed his little girl and went to grad a folder in his desk, he had to go to the court this afternoon.

"Well that's not gonna happen because we have a pact, I'm not gonna spend my time with Uncle Donnie chasing all the horny teenagers of New York with a shot gun, if my little princess stay under 5 years old"

"Did you hear that Isabella, a shot gun, you're father wants to give me more work"

Since Sydney disappeared, everything went quite well for Danny and Lindsay, even if at the beginning their relationship was a bit chaotic, they finally found a balance everything turned out well. They never thought of getting married even with the birth of their lovely little girl Isabella Ellie Messer two years ago.

Danny was playing with his daughter when Flack came in

"Linds, we have a DB in a shop on Canal street" he stopped when he saw Isabella "Oh hi, Isabella" the little girl laughed when she saw Flack "Since when my favorite niece in the all world is here and no one told me?" he said as he took her from Danny's arms. "Hiya Beautiful, did you have fun at the park? Did daddy make another little friend of yours cry"

"Hey, it was just..."

"One time, yeah we know" Lindsay and Flack said in chorus.

Isabella giggled again.

"Whatever, give me my daughter back, I'm gonna drop her to her nanny before going to court, you'll pick her up on your way home" As Lindsay nodded.Danny tried to take Isabella from Flack, but Flack tried to hold on.

"Where's the fire Mess, I haven't see her for a whole day"

"If you want a child just make one" Danny said as he took his girl.

"Believe me, I'm trying to, with your nanny" he said with a smirk.

"I'm leaving now" Danny said.

"Come on Don, we have a DB remember" Lindsay said after kissing her daughter and Danny goodbye.

Lindsay and Flack arrived at the crime scene thirty minutes later, Lindsay got out the car and went to grab her kit when she saw her reflection in the window of the shop across the street, at first she didn't pay attention, but soon she realised it was not her reflection but when she looked again, it was gone. She assumed she was losing her mind, again. It wasn't the first time she thought seeing Sydney, but every time it was just an illusion.

"Lindsay" Flack said seeing her looking across the street. "You okay?"

"Yeah, I thought I saw someone I know, sorry, let's go"

She wasn't prepared of what she was gonna find in this shop. There was blood everywhere. Flack lead her to the dressing area where the body was. It was a woman, 45, maybe 50 years old, with apparently many cut on her chest and stomach. She approached Peyton who was examining the body.

"Do you have the COD?" she asked

"Well I have to take the body back to the morgue, but apparently she was stabbed to death" she said as she opened the shirt of the victim "I'll know more in a couple of hour"

"Okay, thanks" Lindsay said as Flack came near in.

"This is Camilla Bowles, she was the wife of a British Diplomat" Flack said

"I knew her... I mean... she's the woman who hired Sydney for the murders in a Diner 5 years ago" Lindsay said looking at the body.

"You think she did it?"

"I don't know, I hope not, but if it's her, we are gonna find some evidences" She looked around "It's gonna take me hours to process the scene"

"You can call for back up"

"No, everyone is busy, argh" Lindsay said tired.

A few hours later, she was still taking pictures of the crime scene, when she looked at her watch it was time for her to go pick up Isabella and she wasn't finish. She took her cellphone and called Danny

"Messer"

"Danny, it's me, I'm gonna be here for a while again, can you go pick up Isabella for me please"

"Yeah no problem, I have something to do first but I'll pick her up in a little while."

"Okay, thanks"

"See you soon honey, I love you"

"I love you too"

At the lab, Mac was coming from his own crime scene when Lindsay finally ended her shift.

"Lindsay, what are you still doing here?" he asked

"I spent six hours processing the scene, I now I am about to go home and see my daughter" she said as she put her lab coat back"

"How is little Isabella?"

"Full of life" She said smiling "I guess Danny can't deny her"

Mac smiled.

"Have a good evening then"

"I will"

Suddenly her phone start to ring, Mac looked at her smiling when she rolled her eyes.

"Monroe... Danny, I just finish... I'm on my way... No I didn't pick her up,why?" Mac looked at Lindsay as he hear the tense tone in her voice "What do you mean she said I picked her up? Where's Isabella?"

She dropped her phone suddenly realising what was going on. When Mac saw her starting to fall, he caught her and led her to a chair..

"Lindsay...Lindsay, what's going on?" he asked.

"Isabella... Her nanny told Danny that I ... that I picked her up an hour ago"

"Ok, you need to stay calm" Mac said trying to calm her

"Sydney kidnapped my daughter, how can I stay calm?" she said starting to freak out.

"We don't know if it's Sydney yet"

Somewhere in the city, Sydney was getting on a bus. She gave her ticket to the driver and went to sit in the back of the bus, a little girl in her arms. She looked at the child and smiled.

"Mommy" the little girl said.

"Yeah Honey, mommy is here, everything is gonna be okay, we are going to have so much fun together" Sydney said, kissing the head of Isabella.
