chapter 5

Danny stared at Adam furiously as Lindsay was still crying into his shoulder. Stella sat down, still holding Nathan. Adam looked at the sheet of paper he held in his hands.

"run it again!" Danny shouted. Lindsay looked up at him and like before she saw pure hatred and anger reflected in his eyes. "Adam, run it again!" he shouted again making Adam jump.

"Danny, I did the test three times." he said looking at the paper and then at Danny.

"I don't care, run it again. It's wrong the results are wrong!" Danny was only getting more angry. Lindsay stepped back and wiped her eyes.

"why would she do something like this. Why is she blaming me? I didn't do anything to her," she said taking Nathan from Stella.

"she's getting back at me Linds, she wants me to hurt, you to hurt." Danny said calmer.

Mac walked into the room and looked around. "I just heard, the chief is coming in to speak with Lindsay." he said. Danny slammed his fist on the table.

"I'm gonna kill her. Where is that knife? I'll do it myself!!" Nathan started screaming, Danny looked at his son and a tear fell down his cheek. "I promised to keep you two safe and I didn't, I let this happen. I should have protested against her working here. It's my fault." Danny whispered. Lindsay hushed Nathan and went back over to Danny.

The small family stood in the middle of the room. Morgan had gotten to them bad, if this was her plan then she was succeeding. Mac , Adam and Stella stood and watched them crying together.

"Lindsay." Mac said getting their attention "nothing will happen to you, she won't get away with this. You're both gonna be fine." he walked over to them and put a hand on both their shoulders.

"TAYLOR!" Chief Sinclair shouted waling around the lab trying to find him. He saw the group standing in one of the labs, pushing the door open he looked at Danny, Lindsay and Nathan all crying. He took a moment to sympathize for the family and turned his attention to Mac.

"one of your team messed up again?" he asked. Danny walked over to punch him until Stella held him back. "you can't even keep them under control can you. They're like wild animals, now where is that Lindsay Monroe."

"you son of a bitch! She didn't do anything, and her name is Lindsay Messer!" Danny shouted still trying to get away from Stella's grip.

"Danny calm down." Lindsay said sniffing. She handed Nathan to him. "I'll be fine. Just keep him." she said kissing Danny lightly.

Chief Sinclair walked with a hand on Lindsay's shoulder, she felt like a prisoner. They got to the interrogation room, she'd never been on the other side of the questions before. "ok, I want you to tell me everything that happened on Monday night." he said sitting down on the metal chair.

"ok. Me and Danny had went to the park, Morgan was following us and hid behind a tree…."

"how do you know it was Morgan? Do have any proof?"

"yes she phoned later on that night. Her and Danny had a dispute about the past, you see Morgan was Danny's fiancé at one point until she cheated on him. Anyway, after the phone call I put Nathan to bed. Me and Danny sat down and had chicken stir fry. We then got a call from Mac saying that Morgan was in hospital. Danny went into work and I fell asleep." she said noticing her hands shaking

Well at least I know what it feels like. chief Sinclair sighed. Her story seemed believable but so did Morgan's.

"I'm going to have to check that story out with Danny Messer. Do you two live together?" he asked

"yeah, we're married and have a five month old son named Nathan." for a split second she smiled at the thought of her simple family.

"you do realize that until we figure this out you will be held in custody." he said. Lindsay gasped, could she be away from Danny and Nathan for that long. What if it's a couple of days?

--

Chief Sinclair left Lindsay and headed to the hospital to talk to Morgan. He nodded to her before sitting down at the stool. "hi Morgan. I need to ask you some questions about the night you were attacked." Morgan nodded her head and sighed.

"what were you doing before hand?"

"I was going to my car to head home. Someone asked me the time." she said letting her eyes water.

"can you describe the person?"

"female, she was short and had heels on. Her hair was short too."

The chief pulled out a photo and held it up to Morgan. "was this who attacked you?"

Morgan looked at the picture of Lindsay. Did she want to say yes and pull a family apart or say no and get accused of lying?

"I didn't see her face so I couldn't be sure but the hairstyle looks right and the height is the same." she said looking away from his eyes.

"you said to detective Flack that you were sure it was Lindsay Monroe that attacked you. Are you now changing your story?" he asked taking the photo back. Morgan sighed.

"no, I only suggested Lindsay, I didn't say it was her." she said blushing. Was she caught out?

"her fingerprints were on the knife used to stab you. Can you explain that?" the chief asked. Morgan shook her head.

"emm…I couldn't be sure…Chief, I'm tired. The nurse said for me to rest." she said fidgeting with her thumbs.

"Lindsay told me that you were spying on her and her family in the park. Why?"

"I wasn't spying on her, I was spying on Danny. I needed to know that he was happy."

"you were his fiancé at one point?"

"yeah, I cheated on him…with his brother."

"well I'll let you sleep. I might be back with some more questions." he said exiting the room.

Morgan watched him leave before she started crying. I didn't think it would get this serious.

--

Danny was sitting in his office, Nathan was sleeping in his pram beside Danny.

He was looking through the pictures of the crime scene he had managed to sneak from Mac's office. He wanted to cry so much, but at the same time he wanted to kill Morgan.

He came to the picture of the knife and gasped with shock. It was Lindsay's knife…

--

Lindsay came into their shared office. It was her third day on the job.

"hey Montana." Danny greeted her while grinning, knowing that she hated being called that.

"hi, may I remind you that my name is Lindsay. Not Montana!"

She sat at her desk and pulled out a knife from her bag and placed it in her bottom drawer.

"hope you're not panning to do anything with that Montana." Danny laughed. Lindsay just scowled at him.

"My dad gave me it, just in case. Along with the pepper spray and the emergency '911' phone…he's a bit protective." she replied shutting the drawer. "I'm not using the knife though. I'll stick with the pepper spray."

--

"Mac!" Danny shouted as Mac walked by his office. Mac frowned when he saw him with the pictures he was looking for.

"Danny, you know that you're not allowed to look at them." Mac said taking them off him.

"Mac the knife, it's Lindsay's. her dad gave her it when she first moved here. She kept it in her bottom drawer. She's not been in here for five months so how could she have gotten it?" he asked

"are you sure?" Mac asked picking up the picture of the knife.

"yeah. Morgan could have taken it. Blamed it on Lindsay and then stabbed herself!" Danny shouted making Nathan wake up. "damn it."

"that would make sense, but wouldn't Morgan's prints be on the knife?"

"not if she wore gloves."

"I'll guess I'll go and tell the chief." Mac said walking out

Danny walked over to Nathan in the pram who was still crying. He grinned at him before picking him up.

"it's ok Nathan, mommy's gonna be fine."
