Chapter 29.

I will be heard

The following day, Danny arrived at the lab to find a frustrated Angell waiting for him. "Damn it! He's in the wind. I searched for him all night and I can't find the bastard anywhere!"

Danny looked at her, surprised at the vehemence in her voice. "Whoa. Jennifer. Calm down. You will find him." Then he thought about what she had said. "Shit! You haven't been home? Go grab some shut eye in the break room before you fall over."

Angell started to protest, but she couldn't smother the yawn that was threatening to dislocate her jaw. "Okay. I'll go grab some sleep, but if you find an address on the Ignacio then wake me up!"

Danny nodded his agreement and returned to processing the remaining shell casings from the crime scene. After a couple of hours, his phone rang. "Messer."

"Hey. It's Flack. You seen Angell?"

"Yeah. She's asleep in our break room. Tried to pull an all nighter. What's up?"

"We have a sighting on Iggy Zoo. Figured she would want to be in on the bust."

Danny smiled grimly. "I'll go get her and send her to the station." Danny hung up his phone and began to walk into the break room. "Hey, Angell!"

Angell blinked groggily. "Just five more minutes…" she murmured sleepily.

Danny nodded. "Angell…" he said in a sing song voice. "I have a tip on your suspect."

Angell's eyes flew open at that. "What? Where is he?" she asked urgently, trying to wipe the sleep from her eyes.

"Flack got the tip. He's waiting for you at the station to go pick him up."

"Saints be praised. I'm on my way."

Angell and Flack drew their guns as they walked up the stairs. Once at apartment 408, they brought their guns to ready. Flack pounded on the door. "NYPD! Open up!" There was a sound of scrambling from the inside. Flack looked at Angell and quickly broke down the door.

She tore across the room and managed to grab the man trying to climb out the window. "You know. We could have just wanted to talk. But when you try and run, that makes me think you're guilty of something," Angell said sarcastically.

The man watched as she slapped cuffs on him. "I want my phone call."

Thirty minutes later, Angell watched as the man dialed in a number. "It's Iggy Zoo. We have a situation."

Flack watched as Danny and Angell closed in on the man in the interrogation room. "Look, Ignacio. We have the proof showing you fired the gun that killed Officer Gonzales. Your fingerprints are all over it," Danny said in an exasperated tone of voice.

"I did not kill that Officer," the tall Hispanic man said. "I must have picked up the gun after he was killed. I did not kill him!"

Angell rolled her eyes. "Whatever. Why don't I believe you? I have your rap sheet right here. Assault with a deadly weapon, possession with intent to sell, disorderly conduct. It goes on and on. So, you want to tell me again that you didn't kill him?"

Flack grinned as the suspect got a frustrated look on his face. Angell was wearing him down like she was a cat and he was a mouse. He turned when he felt a person walk up next to him. "Hey, Cory. Why are you here?"

Cory looked into the interrogation room, careful not to reveal any emotions. "I need to talk to Danny and Angell. It's pretty urgent."

Flack looked at her. "They're kinda in the middle of something. Angell's about to get this punk to actually break! She's just overwhelming him with the evidence. It's a beautiful thing to watch."

A muscle in Cory's jaw twitched. Ignoring Flack, she walked into the room. "Angell. Messer. We need to talk. Now."

Danny looked surprised at the sharp tone in her voice, while Angell bristled at it. "Look. I am fully aware that you are an FBI agent, but that does not give you the right to interrupt my interrogation."

Danny saw a spark light in Cory's eyes and quickly exited the room, nodding to Flack as he stood beside him.

Cory turned on Angell. "Look. I am an FBI agent and trust me when I say that if I really didn't need to talk to you, I would never interrupt an interrogation!" Cory grabbed Angell's arm and dragged her out of the room.

As soon as they were out, Angell wrenched her arm from her grasp. "You bitch! Don't ever lay a hand on me again! You have no right to interrupt me!"

Flack saw Cory's hands clinch into fists and quickly stepped between the women, while Cory began to speak in an icy voice. "Look. That man did not kill the cop, Angell."

Flack looked at Danny, Angell and Cory. "If I may make a suggestion…Take this somewhere a little more private." Cory nodded as she and Danny began to walk to an unused lab. Flack stopped Angell from following. "Word of advice. If Cory's interrupting you, then it's probably got something to do with your case. Don't piss her off."

When Angell finally made it into the lab, Cory shot her a glare. "Took ya long enough."

Angell just shot her a glare. "So what is so damn important that you had to interrupt my interrogation?"

"Like I said. He didn't kill the cop."

Danny looked at Cory in confusion. "How do you know? All of the forensic evidence backs it up. He is the most likely suspect. His fingerprints are all over the gun that was used."

Cory took a calming breath. "Remember that this was a tip off from the FBI? He's my informant. So I know that he didn't do it."

Angell just rolled her eyes. "Are you really so naïve that you think that your informant wouldn't kill a cop during a shoot out? Give me a break!" She turned to leave the room but Cory's voice stopped her.

"He's an undercover agent."

Both Danny and Angell turned around to stare at her. "And you couldn't bother telling us this before…why?" Angell asked sarcastically.

Cory glared at her. "Do you tell the FBI every cop you have undercover? No. It's taken him weeks to get this close to the gang. I didn't want to risk blowing his cover, especially when I need the information that he is feeding me!" She turned to Danny, pleading him with her eyes. "Danny, please. Find the evidence to prove your theory wrong. I can't afford to blow his cover unless I absolutely have to. He's my link to Montoya."

Danny sighed. "Fine. We'll treat him like a viable suspect for now, but I'll see if I can find something to prove him innocent."

Cory nodded. "Thank you." With another glare at Angell, she stalked out of the room.

Angell just stood there, unsure of how to proceed. "Okay. I'll have to keep him in lockup, but if you don't find that information to prove her right, I'm handing the case over to the DA."

Danny watched as Angell left the room, feeling pressure. He sighed and made his way into the ballistics lab to begin to reprocess the bullets and the weapons.

The first thing that he did was recompare the bullets. They match. Okay. So what did he say? Said maybe he picked up the gun after the cop was already down. Maybe I can find another fingerprint.

He took the gun out of the evidence bag and began to study it under the microscope. His brow furrowed when he realized that he had missed a smudged print on the magazine release. Okay. So there is a partial print there, unfortunately it is too illegible to do anything with. Maybe Iggy is telling the truth. Alright, so I'll see if there are any other prints on the bullets.

Carefully, Danny released the magazine. He dumped the bullets out, mounted them and then put them in the fogging unit. He put a couple of drops of glue on the heating element and closed the door.

After five minutes, he began to see a fingerprint forming on all the bullets. Smiling, he withdrew the first bullet and lifted the print. He then ran it through AFIS.

After twenty minutes of searching, AFIS found a match. Quickly, he called Angell. "Ya better get over here. You have to see this."

When Angell showed up, Danny showed her the print. "It comes back to a Claudia Perez. I did a little digging while I was waiting for you. She is involved in a nasty paternity suit with Officer Gonzales. I know it's not much, but it's enough to bring her in for questioning."

Angell nodded and left to go bring her in.

"Claudia, do you know why you're here today?"

The blonde woman nodded. "No. Does it have something to do with Jorge getting killed?"

Angell nodded. "Yes. Tell me, do you own a gun?"

"No. I'm terrified of the things. Jorge kept asking me if I wanted to learn how to shoot, but I never wanted to."

Danny pounced on her comment. "So, you've never held a gun in your life?" At her affirmative nod he continued, "Then how do you explain your fingerprints on the bullet that killed Jorge?"

Claudia's eyes widened and she snapped. "Fine. I shot him. Is that what you wanted to here? Good for nothing, lazy S.O.B. Trying to say that my child wasn't his. I know it is!"

Danny nodded his head. "Really? Cause I have the court DNA test here that proves that he was not the father. So did you kill him just because he didn't believe you?"

"I ain't saying another word without a lawyer."

Both Danny and Angell nodded in disgust. Angell motioned to a uniform standing by the door. "Get her out of here."

When she was gone, she looked at Danny. "God. I was such a bitch to Cory!"

Danny laughed. "She won't hold it against you for very long. Just apologize and get it over with."

Angell shook her head. "I definitely owe her."

Danny looked at her. 'Look. I'm the one who brought you the evidence. While I'll admit that I thought I was right, she did convince me to look closer. Of the reasons that I've heard about committing murder, this one has got to be up there!"

Angell laughed and proceeded to go back to the station, so she would put together her part of the case for the DA and release Ignacio.

Danny smiled and put the evidence away and grabbed his coat, thankful that his day was over and he could leave knowing that they had another killer locked away.

AN: So was anyone surprised at that? Anyway the cases are heating up. Please go read and Gotham's Heroes! We'd love to here what you think!

CSI junkie - I'll definitely look into that then! I'm glad you liked the chapter.

moska - It's very ironic that you reviewed with that question! I was actually working on a chapter that had some great MacStella in it! So look for that in chapter 32. There's some continuity in one of the chapter's after that as well. I know that I haven't had them together in a while, but my muse was all about DannyCory. I'm keeping a eye on that, so hopefully it won't happen again! (:D)

brainDamage - Your hunches are usually right. BTW...my muse came back with a vengeance!! I've written 4 chapters in the last week!

magic munchies - Actually you were 131! Woot! Only one more chapter until you get to 30! I hope that your homework went okay!

Aleja - I'm glad you are loving it! Now while, I wasn't exactly please that they lost to the Patriots...They came back this week and did I wonderful job!! Woot! The 'Boys are 6-1 for the season!! (I actually can't wait for the game on Nov. 11. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they beat them. I might go back and add a little bit to the chapter to put in the outcome of the game.) (:D)

Aphina - I promise that Andrew will eventually move on. lol. I liked that part, too! That was my fav line from this chapter because I can actually see Danny saying that! Lord, I need a life!

Axellia - I'm glad you're caught up! I may let you plan Danny and Cory's wedding! I still don't know what I'm going to do for that. Do they get married in NYC or Dallas? Who's going to give her away? I have more questions than answers right now. We'll have to talk about them. (:p)
