Danny wasn't comfortable with the idea of Chloe being locked up in a holding cell. He wanted to talk to Chloe, he needed to talk to her. The situation at the park was only earlier that morning and there was still more to the day when Mac told him to go home, only he didn't want to. Danny was lucky that Flack wasn't at the station when he came in. One of the officers on duty went to go get Chloe, who seemed surprised to see him.
" Danny?"
" How you doing?"
Chloe sat down and looked at him.
" I'm fine. What brings you here?"
" Why didn't you tell me you were alone? I would've stayed with you."
Chloe smiled shyly.
" Chloe."
" My father had to go out of town. If he didn't go, he might not have a job. Plus, I'm an adult Danny, not a child."
Danny then nodded his head.
" I still would've been there for you, like I'm going to be there for you now."
Chloe then realized what Danny did, but she didn't want to believe it.
" I had to talk to you. You don't belong here."
" Maybe I do. I broke the law."
" I told you, that was Mason. He held a gun to your head. Maybe I should talk to Mason now. I can't sit around at home and do nothing."
Danny then got up.
" I'm going to do what I can to clear your name, even if it means.."
" No, you can't ruin your career because of me. I'm guilty Danny. I'm not worth the trouble."
The door opened and both of them were now staring at Flack.
" Now I'm in trouble," Danny thought.
" What are you doing back here Danny? What about what Mac told you?"
" I can't sit at home. I'll go crazy. I had to talk to Chloe."
Flack looked at both Chloe and then Danny.
" Get out of here before Mac comes and you'd better not even think about talking to Mason."
Little did Flack or Chloe knew, he'd already talked to Mason.
" I want to now why she was left alone when I could've been there."
" I told you that Danny. My father's job depended on him leaving and my mother, she had a client to meet. I'm not an invalid. What else do you want to know?"
" Why didn't you call me?"
Chloe just shook her head.
" Danny get out of here," Flack told him.
Danny did just that without saying another word, Chloe sighed.
" You have people who are behind you, especially Danny."
" That's not going to help me. These last few days have been so exhausting. My fate is sealed, I'm going to jail."
Chloe put her head down.
" Maybe not."
Chloe looked back up at Flack.
" The D.A. is looking at you statement and you have no record. If you want an honest opinion, you might just end up with probation."
" Sounds hard to believe. Did you need to talk to me detective?"
" That's what I needed to tell you. Plus, your parents should be here soon, at least your mother should."
Chloe managed a smile, but inside she felt heartbroken.
" Look, I saw what happened in the park. Danny's only trying to protect you. I'm sorry."
" For doing your job? You don't have to be."
" The arraignment is first thing in the morning."
Chloe sighed and nodded her head.
" Everything will be fine and so will you. We've got what we need to put Mason away for a long time."
" You also got what you need to put me away. I don't deserve this."
" Yes, you do."
Chloe didn't know what to think of what she just heard. Was Flack actually trying to help her stay out of jail or was it all an act?
" Why are you being so nice to me Detective Flack?"
" Not many people are as cooperative as you."
" I told you I have nothing to hide. Maybe if I came forward earlier, Derek would still be alive."
Flack saw a certain light in Chloe's eye and discovered why Danny cared about Chloe, she was easy on the eyes.
" I have to take you back to the holding area for now. When your parents get here, I'll come for you."
Chloe just nodded her head. As she sat back in the holding all she could think about was what the future had for her and what it all meant.
