It came to the point to find out what was going on. Both Mason and Chloe were in holding cells, but far away from each other. Mac went to the station, wanting to talk to Chloe first. He thought she would be already in an interview room, but that's not where she was. Mac went to go find Flack who was at his desk.

" Where's Chloe?"

" She's in a holding cell Mac. Chloe's okay, but she is an accessory. You were soft on her."

" Did she tell you anything else?"

" I was waiting for you. Don't you want to talk to Mason first? He's the one who was on the run after attacking her."

" Let's go see what we can find out."

Both of them were surprised when they saw Danny show up.

" Danny, you're supposed to be processing what happened in the park," Mac told him," What are you doing here?"

" I want to talk to Chloe. Why was she sent here?"

Nobody said a word for a moment.

" I couldn't arrest her, so you did?" Danny asked Mac.

" No, I did Danny," Flack told him.

" What for? Mason was the one who had his claws on her. We all saw that. I want to talk to her."

" No," Mac told him," You go back to the park and help Stella."

" I can't do that Mac. I'll talk to Mason then. That son of a bitch is the one who belongs here and you know that."

Both Mac and Flack looked at him.

" You stay out here Danny. Flack and I are going to talk to Chloe."

Danny just watched them as they walked on.

" I'm not going anywhere," Danny thought," Chloe needs the support and that's what I'm going to give her."

It was sometime later, Chloe sat in the interview room when Mac came in.

" How are you holding up Chloe?"

" I'm surviving detective. You don't need to worry about me. Detective Flack wasn't harsh, I was. In fact, he was nice about this situation. I'm just glad that Mason is in custody."

Mac sat down and then Chloe saw Flack come in.

" I just got off the phone with the D.A., so far Chloe, you need to stay here."

" I understand detective. What do you need to know?"

" Those bank robberies that happened several weeks ago," Mac said," You were a part of that?"

Chloe nodded her head.

" Nobody was killed in those robberies, but they were still unsolved on who was a part of it, until now," Flack said.

" I have no reason to deny it, it's true. I'm not proud of it."

Chloe didn't know that Danny was watching them from inside another room. He wasn't proud of himself for things he'd done, especially what he just did.

" We know Mason made you do this," Mac told her.

" It's not good enough, I did it."

Danny couldn't take it anymore and went into the room. Chloe was surprised to see him.

" I told you not to come in here Danny," Mac told him.

" This is important, there's something you need to know."

Mac went out the door with Danny.

" I don't think this is going to help her."

" It wasn't loaded Mac, the gun Chloe held, it was empty. I have it back at the lab."

" Then go over the scene and get back to me."

Mac went back into the room and Danny ended up leaving.

" What was that all about Mac?" Flack asked.

" The gun Chloe had, it was empty."

Chloe shook her head.

" Chloe?" Mac asked.

" That's not right. I saw Mason put one in the chamber. It was just before I called you Detective Taylor. I swear to you that there was one. Mason had me call you because he was fed up, he didn't expect to get caught."

Mac sat down, there was only one other explanation to what happened to the bullet, and it was something he didn't want to believe. Chloe was then taken back to the holding cell where she was. Flack then came back up to him.

" She's going to be okay Mac. Chloe was hiding something, but she might get lucky. She has no priors. The D.A. might take that into consideration."

" I have to go talk to Danny. I don't want to believe what he did."

Mac ended up going back to the crime lab and while he was looking for Danny he saw Stella and Lindsay going over what happened in the park, not that there was much to it. Mac then saw Danny sitting in his office. Danny got up when he saw him.

" Well. Is Chloe able to go home?"

" That's up to the D.A. We've got another problem. The gun Danny."

" I told you it was empty."

" That's not what Chloe said."

Danny began to pace around.

" I know you're trying to protect her."

" Damn right Mac. Mason is the one who belongs in prison, not Chloe."

" You took it out, didn't you?"

Danny again sat down.

" Where is it?"

Danny took the bullet out of his pocket, which was in a sealed bag, and gave it to Mac.

" I'm sorry sir, but I had to do it."

" You're lucky I don't fire you over this."

" I made a mistake, jut like Chloe did, like we all do."

Mac sat down.

" Go home Danny. I'll see you tomorrow."

Danny was about to go out the door when Mac stopped him.

" Don't call me sir."

Danny just nodded his head and went out the door. Stella then came in.

" You okay Mac?"

" I'll be fine once I know that Mason is in prison where he belongs and Chloe gets a second chance, even though she did make a dire mistake."

Meanwhile, Flack had Mason in the interview room.

" Start talking."

" I don't have to talk to you or anyone else. Why don't you go talk to Chloe."

" I've already talked to her. You know she might get lucky, you on the other hand killed someone."

Mason looked at Flack.

" Did Chloe tell you that Derek was drunk at the time? He went off on me first, I was protecting myself. If that little bitch told you something else, then she's a liar."

" She told us you were drunk too."

" So what if I was? It's not like I was in pubic. I was in the privacy of my own home. What else you go detective?"

" Plenty to see you away for the rest of your life."

Mason wasn't amused. In the back of his mind he thought the system could send him to prison, but no bars were going to hold him for long.
