A/N - I'm finally back. A big sorry goes out to all my lovely and loyal readers who have been waiting so patiently for an update. Unfortunately my computer crashed and it's only getting back up now. To say sorry and thank you I have THREE brand new chapters. They are un-beta'd so all the mistakes are mine.

As usual I own nothing, only Maggie Flack and other non-CSI: NY characters. I also don't own the music lyrics at the beginning of each chapter. For this chapter the credits go to Loretta Devine and the Dreamgirls movie for "I Miss You, Old Friend".

Chapter 6 - I Miss You, Old Friend

I miss you, old friend

Can I hold you?

And though it's been a long time, old friend

Do you mind?

There was so many things,

I wish I had said

I meant to love you,

But I hurt you instead

"We found cocaine in the house with Maggie's blood." Danny said as the other two detectives entered the room.

"The chemical make-up matched that os cocaine seized from the Durango gang from Queens." Lindsay continued, without missing a beat.

"So the Durango guys took Maggie!" Don said, wringing his hands.

"We've brought in a fwe leaders of the gang into interrogation." Mac said from the back of the room.

"I'll just observe." Don said reluctantly holding up his hands, after looks from his coworkers.

Charlie Marble and Mickey Ito sat in separate interrogation rooms at the 12th precinct of the NYPD.

"I ain't talkin'" Marble and Ito both said.

"We found your cocaine at a house in Brooklyn. Along with a pool of blood from a sixteen year old girl!" Danny shouted at Ito as he paced around the room. "Even if you don't say anything you and your buddy are going away for a long time. Unless you talk before him."

"We're talking to Charlie in the next room, Micjey. And he's saying a lot about you." Lindsay said sitting across from Ito.

"He wouldn't do 'dat." ito muttered, shaking his head.

"Oh yes he would." Danny interjected.

"And is." Lindsay finished.

After five minutes of silence and stares from Danny and Lindsay Ito finally cracked.

"Charlie rented the house in Brooklyn for our drugs , okay?" Ito burst out. "To distribute out there. But I swear I don't know nothing about any kid's blood!"

"Mickey cracked." Danny said confidently.

"And Charlie lawyer-ed up." Stella informed them as the team met in the layout room a short while later.

"And we've hit a wall." Don muttered.

"Are we out og evidence?" Adam questioned..

"The drugs were a dead end. We searched their houses and known warehouses. Nothing." Mac said.

"And the blood only led us to Maggie." entered Lindsay.

"I ran an analysis on the blood. she was drugged with Rohipnol. A small dose. Would have only knocked her out." Hawkes added as he spread the crime scene photos out on the table. "I went over the photos again and ..." He gave Flack a sympathetic look. "I think she's been beaten. There were signs of a struggle at the scene. But there is absolute reason to think she's still alive." He tried to be a bit up-beat with the down-trodden team.

"But possibly unconscious from the blood loss." Dr. Peyton Driscoll finished as she entered the room. "Sorry, Flack." she whispered as she headed up to stand between Mac and Sheldon.

He nodded and looked down at the photos sprawled across the table. His head had started to pound and he was overtired but wasn't going to abandon his sister again.

"We've checked out Nathan Smith, the guy to last rent the house and he's an upstanding buisnessman living out in Yonkers." Stella said, reading over her notes.

"We talked to classmates, too. Do you have any idea where she might have gone Flack? Friends, Boyfriend..." Lindsay asked.

"No." he dead panned. Stella looked over ay him compassionately. "We haven't talked in a while."

"She's only been missing for a few hours, they'll probably just hold her somewhere then let her go." Peyton said hopefully as Mac out a hand on her back drawing her closer to him.

"She hasn't been seen since Saturday. They've probably already killed her." Don choked, frustrated. He turned away from his friends and clenched his fists. As a few people gasped he whirled around and hollered "What? You're all thinking it, I'm just the only one to say it!"

Stella took a few steps toward him and put a calming hand on his arm. "Calm down. Maggie's gonna be fine." She whispered, her voice barely audible.

Mac wanted to suggest that Don go home and get some sleep, But he knew that the stubborn detective would never go, neither would anyone else on the team.

"Flack unclenched his fists but continued to stare at the table. Everyone else in the room was silent and tension filled the air.

"I'm gonna go check her computer. Dad gave her a laptop last year." Don said quietly as he headed out to the elevator. Danny and Stella both wanted to follow him but they knew that Flack needed space right now and that he would want to do this alone.

A/N - shorter than other, but it's mostly filler until a reveal next chapter. Hope you like it tho. :) takes me a little while to type them up but they'll be up as soon as I get them on the computer.
