"Lindsay!" Danny called over the water.
"You go for Lindsay, I'll take the S.O.B!" Flack called to him as they watched the man as he struggled to keep his head above the water for more than a few seconds at a time. Flack watched as Danny dived under in search of Lindsay before swimming round the back of the man who was still thrashing about in the water. He placed his arm tightly over the man's shoulder and across his chest and towed him to the side where Mac and Hawkes were watching the events unfold.
Once he had helped Mac and Hawkes get the struggling man out of the water and into cuffs, Flack headed back to where he had just seen Danny disappear into the water again.
Thirty seconds later, Danny reappeared, struggling for breath. As soon as he appeared, Flack dived down into the water. Ten seconds later, Danny joined him.
----------------------------------------------------------------
The water was so cold and dark and it only got worse as he got nearer the bottom. Through the dirty brown water he could see her, her pale skin stood out against the murky surroundings.
He kicked himself free of the weeds, grabbed hold of her and placed his arm securely round her waist. He kicked off the bottom and used his free arm to push himself through the water quicker.
Just as he thought he couldn't hold his breath for any longer he broke the surface and he could breathe again.
Immediately Flack took Lindsay's limp body from him and towed her to the side where Mac and Hawkes dragged her out of the water and lay her flat on the ground.
By the time Danny was out of the water Hawkes and Mac were performing CPR on Lindsay and EMS had just arrived along with patrol. Danny froze as he watched Hawkes blow air into Lindsay's lungs.
After what seemed like forever, Lindsay started coughing up water and Hawkes quickly rolled her onto her side so that she didn't choke. When the coughing fit had finished, Hawkes rolled her back onto her back and checked her over again.
"She's breathing!" He heard Hawkes announce.
"Is she going to be alright?" Danny asked, kneeling down next to her and taking hold of her cold hand, as the paramedics placed an oxygen mask over her face.
"For now, but her brain was starved of oxygen so there is a risk of brain damage." Hawkes told him
"Danny, I want you and Flack to get yourselves checked over. I will go back to the lab to find Stella and we'll meet you at the hospital."

"Mac, I've got the results on the knife from the crime scene this morning. The knife is a match to the knife used at the Renaissance Hotel yesterday." Adam told Mac as he headed down the corridor towards the break room.
"Were there any prints on it?" Mac asked.
"Yeah, but so far AFIS hasn't found a match."
"Have you got anything else for me?" Mac asked gazing through the window of the break room at Stella, who had her back to them making coffee.
"Yeah actually, I have. Some case files from both Chicago and Bozeman arrived after you left this morning."
"Thanks Adam." Mac said as he opened the break room door.
"Did you catch him?" Stella asked as soon as she saw him enter the room.
"Yes, we did."
"Is Lindsay ok?" Stella asked walking over to him.
"Lindsay is at Trinity General."
"What? Why?" Stella asked.
"They both ended up in the river, he kicked her under and she didn't resurface."
"Is she going to be alright?"
"Danny and Flack managed to get her out but she wasn't breathing for a while. Hawkes said there is a risk of brain damage; she was still unconscious when the paramedics took her in the ambulance.
"What about the man?"
"He's also being checked over at the hospital."
"I need to be there." Stella told him, heading over to the door.
"I'll take you."
"Thanks." She said opening the door.
"But Stella; I think it's about time that you let us know what's going on."
