CSI NY

Mac took his eyes off Stella and Audrey and looked at Mark in shock, "I'm not going to choose. Just let them go and you can do whatever to me!" Mac couldn't believe that this man would ask him to choose who he wanted to kill.

"That's not an option. You choose, or I will choose for you, and it will be both. I'm trying to be nice and let you keep one of them. You never gave me a choice; you took my family away from me." The man got in Mac's face, "Now choose!"

"I never took your family away. You did that by raping a girl," Mac yelled back.

"Mac, choose me and let Audrey go, okay?" Stella told Mac, looking him in the eyes.

"No!" Audrey cried out.

Mac looked deep into Stella's eyes, "I love you, Stella, and you know that. I will not give up on you."

"Mac, just get Audrey out of here," Stella told him sternly.

"Shut up, you two. While you're being all in love or whatever, time is running out. Choose."

"Let my daughter go," Mac said, looking at Stella as a tear fell from her eye, and she mouthed 'I love you' to him.

"Okay then," Mark said as he went to untie Audrey. When he was finished, he motioned for her to get up. When she didn't, he yanked her up, and she screamed out.

"Hey, get your hands off her," Mac yelled.

"Shut up, Taylor. I'm letting her go," he looked at Audrey, pointing the gun at her, "Now you walk out of here, move the bookshelf, and lock the door behind you. Tell them not to come in, or I kill them both."

"No, I don't want to leave you, Dad."

"Go, Audrey, now!" Mac yelled.

"Listen to your father," Mark told her, pushing her towards the door.

"I love you, dad and Stella."

She looked at her dad and Stella one more time before walking to the door, moving the empty bookshelf, and walking out the door, locking it behind her. When she looked up, she saw Flack, and she collapsed in his arms, sobbing.

"Audrey, what's going on in there?" Flack asked her.

She looked up at him and calmed herself down, "The guy who attacked me has my dad and Stella in there. He made my dad choose between me and Stella." She started to cry again, "He's...going to kill...Stella."

Danny started towards the door.

"No, he said if anyone goes in there, he will kill everyone," she yelled. Then a shot rang out.

Audrey got up and started to run to the door, but Lindsay grabbed her. Don and Danny went running into the door, letting it fly open and break. They ran around the boxes to find Mac standing with a gun in his hands and Mark lying on the ground with a bullet in his head. Stella was sobbing in a chair. Mac dropped the gun and ran over to the chair, quickly untying Stella and pulling her into his arms.

"Stella, I've got you. It's okay; he's not going to hurt us anymore," he whispered in her hair.

Stella calmed down and looked Mac in the eye."I love you, Mac."

"I love you too," Mac kissed her. He helped her up and then looked at Flack and Danny, "Where's Audrey?"

"Out in the hall with Lindsay. She's really shaken up," Flack told them.

Mac and Stella quickly exited the room to find Audrey in the hall. When she saw them, she quickly ran into their arms, and they all hugged each other.

"Stella, I thought you were dead," Audrey said as she wiped the tears from her eyes.

"No, the guy never tied me up. Audrey, he isn't going to hurt us anymore," Mac told his daughter, relieved that this nightmare was over.

"Is he dead?" she asked.

"Yes," he told her simply, and she begin to cry not of sadness but because it was over.

"Flack, we will talk to you later about statements. I'm taking my family home," Mac said as he put his arms around Audrey and Stella and walked out of the lab to their home.

CSI NY

When they got home, Audrey was fast asleep, and Mac didn't want to wake her so he picked her up and carried her up to the apartment, putting her in her bed and covering her up. He kissed her on the forehead and thanked God that she was okay. He walked out of the room and into his and Stella's room to find Stella changing.

"I'm too tired to take a shower. I just want to go to bed," Stella told him as he too began to change.

"It's only 9:30. This has been a long day," Mac said.

Stella walked out of the restroom after brushing her teeth, "I know but it's over." She got into bed, and Mac followed, pulling her into his arms.

"Stella, I never want to go through something like this again. I almost lost Audrey and you today, and I can't. I wouldn't be able to move on. It would kill me," Mac told her as he gripped her tighter at the thought of losing her.

Stella looked up with tears in her eyes, "Mac, the thought of losing you and Audrey… well, it would kill me too. You guys are my family, my life. I love you, Mac Taylor."

"I love you too, Stella."

Mac kissed her and then the kiss turned into more as they began to make passionate love as if every second was their last to live.
