Hi, this is Lindsay I can't get to the phone right now but if you leave me a message I'll get back to you as soon as possible.
"Lindsay its Mac where are you, you were due in an hour ago, give me a ring make sure everything's ok" Mac sighed and threw his phone down onto his desk.
"Lady troubles" Flack joked walking into his office
"I wish, you haven't heard from Lindsay have you?"
"No, why?"
"She was supposed to start work over an hour ago, she's never late and we're really short staffed today."
"Do you want me to go check if she's at home, I've hit a dead end in my case so until you guys give me something I have free time"
"Thanks Flack" Mac smiled as Flack walked out of his office.
Flack walked alone the corridor toward Lindsay's place only to find the door open. This made him suspicious, he knew Crissy could walk out of an open door and so Lindsay would never leave the door open for this to happen.
He got out his gun and walked into her apartment
"Lindsay" he called, there was no reply so he called again "Lindsay you here" once again there was no reply. So he decided to have a look around he walked toward her bedroom when he noticed something in the small gab where the nursery door had not been closed fully.
He pushed the door open and to his horror he found Lindsay on the floor with a bullet hole in her chest. He ran over to her limp body and pressed down to try and slow the blood flow
"Come on stay with me now" he said he grabbed his phone out and called 911 and then he dialled Mac's number
"Taylor"
"Mac its Don, I got Lindsay but there's a problem"
"What don what's going on?"
"She's been shot, in her lung EMS are on their way, but do you know where Crissy is?"
"Oh my god, who would do that, Crissy was at home all day with Lindsay, she was going to bring her to the lab for Stella to look after"
"That means who ever did this has got Crissy"
"Go to the hospital with Lind's and we'll come straight over"
"Ok they're here I got to go bye"
Flack explained to the EMS what he had found and that they were both NYPD.
Rikki was walking alone with Crissy sleeping in her arms, she looked like a completely normal mother she was heading for the park she hoped Crissy would like it there but if not it was ok because for the moment she was asleep.
Mac raced out of his office right into Stella and Hawke's office
"We got to go" he said
"What? Why? Mac what's going on?" Stella asked a little confused
"Its Lindsay, she's been shot"
"Oh my god, When? Where? Is she ok?"
"I don't really know we have to go to the hospital and meet Flack, he found her"
"Ok" they both left the office Hawkes and Danny weren't supposed to start work for another hour so Stella rang them to get to hospital, but she didn't tell them why, she couldn't.
"Flack what's happening?" Mac asked rushing over to him
"I don't know its so frustrating, nobody will tell me anything" he sounded annoyed
"Hey, come on she's going to be ok"
"I know but it's nice to know what's happening so I can start looking for Crissy"
"Crissy what's happening to Crissy" Stella asked founding very worried
"We don't know that's the thing, she wasn't at Lindsay's place, we have no leads but we think she is alive"
Stella could not longer contain her emotions she leaned into flacks should and let all her tears fall, so many came it felt like they would never stop.
About ten minutes later Danny and Hawkes arrived looking flustered, they knew now was the time to drop Crissy and focus on Lindsay.
Crissy had woken up in Rikki's arms and began to cry
"Mommy, mommy where's mommy?" she kept repeating
"shhh, I'm your mommy and I'm right here Crissy" Rikki smiled but this was not good enough she wriggled out of Rikki's arms and ran toward the duck pond and plopped herself down playing happily amongst the flowers trying to ignore the woman who watched her.
About half an hour later Rikki had become bored and decided it was time to get some new clothes and toys.
"Are we going to go shopping?" she asked
Crissy simply shock her head and went back to blowing the flowers and watching them say in the breeze, this was a game she enjoyed playing with her mother
"Crissy no, we are going to go shopping I am your mother and you are going to listen" Rikki had shouted at the toddler as she picked her up and headed toward the car, Crissy didn't like people shouting at her, Lindsay never did so she was not used to it.
Nine hours after Lindsay was admitted to hospital her sugary was finally over
And the doctor came out to see the team
"Miss Monroe, suffered a serious shot to her right lung, by the look of things she tried to get up or fight back because she had torn a vain around the wound, she also suffered a hard blow to the head so we had to do a CT scan to see weather it had caused any permanent damage but we will not get the results for a couple of hours. But she is out of recovery and in ITU so you can go and see her but not for too long" he said
"Will she be awake" Danny asked, it was the first time he had spoken since he had come to the hospital,
"People react to the drugs in different ways so it is impossible to know if or when she will awake"
"If"
"There is not a one hundred percent chance she will wake up after this, gun shots are serious, and she also lost a lot of blood." And with that the doctor left the room
"Can I go see her please?" Danny sounded like a lost child, and not the Danny Messer the others knew
"Sure" Stella smiled "oh and Danny, she's going to be fine you know"
"Yeah" as Danny walked away the team started discussing who would have Crissy and how they could get her back.
Danny walked into Lindsay's hospital room she looked like a doll, she was pale and had tubes and machines plugged into her he wished he could take them all off and hold her in his arms forever and that was when it hit him, he didn't feel those feelings for Rikki he wasn't sure if he ever truly had he loved Rikki, but Lindsay he felt he never lost those feelings and that he would love her forever and there was no changing it.
Danny was brought out of his thoughts by a mummer from the bed he walked over to see Lindsay's eyes open and she began to panic, as she saw and felt the tube down her throat
"Hey, hey don't worry I'll go get somebody to take it out" he smiled looking into her big brown eyes he walked toward the door
"Can you help me she's woken up" he called to the doctor.
"great" a doctor came over into Lindsays room "hello miss Monroe, ok we are going to get this tube out, now what I need you to do is sit up, lean forward and on three I need you to cough really hard for me can you do that, yeah, great lets go one two three" Lindsay coughed as the tube came up out of her throat
"Owww" she whispered
"Yes it will be tender of a couple of days, but it will go down, just call if you need anything ok" Lindsay nodded her head and then her attention turned to Danny
"What are you going here go away" she whispered but he knew she was angry
"Lind's you were shot" he said trying to remain calm unknowing what Lindsay felt she knew her no their daughter had been kidnapped but she couldn't remember who by the voice that's all but she couldn't find a face she knew to match it to it was so frustrating to her.
"so what does that make you boy-best friend of the year just get out and go home to her and leave me alone" she had found more of a voice for this and as he left her whole body shock as she began to cry. She cried so hard she didn't notice Flack Stella and Mac walk into the room, Stella automatically ran over to her and hugged her aware of the tubes and the ribs and lungs
"Where is she" Lindsay managed to say
"I don't know but we need you to calm down so we can think this through and get her back. Can you do that?" she smiled wiping a tear from Lindsay cheek.
Lindsay in herself knew she had to calm down none of this was going to get Crissy back she just wanted to match the voice she could hear playing in her head over and over
"see that's the difference between you and me, I would walk on the coals of hell to get my daughter which shows that you are not a good mother and do not disserve Crissy" how could a person say that and she not remember who she was. But if anything was sure if she didn't get Crissy back she was never leaving the hospital.
A/N Wow little bit long but hum I have some ideas but I don't know what to do so it may take a while to get the next couple of chapters up but I'll try my best
