Chapter 15
Christopher Monroe and Mac Taylor stood outside a hospital room and were getting ready to watch Billy Myers be interviewed
"I appreciate you letting me watch the interview" Mac told Chris who nodded
"Who says FBI and the state police can't get along?" Chris joked lightly "You mean a lot to Lindsay or she wouldn't have made you Lucy's godfather. You've taken excellent care of her and I'll always appreciate that" he told him swiftly then turned there attention to the room as Billy walked in and took a seat as two nurses, two orderlies and one doctor observed
"Billy Myers" A middle-aged man said sitting behind a desk "My name is Agent Phillip Dean and this is Agent Rebecca Salt were from the FBI's behavioral analysis unit " he said looking over paper work and Billy just nodded
"Do you know Chrissy?" Billy questioned
"Who?" Agent Dean questioned
"Chris Monroe he works for the BAU" Billy told them casually as if they had been friends for a long time
"Do you know why were here today Mr. Myers?" Agent Salt questioned and he nodded again
"Because of Lindsay" Billy told them coolly
"That's right" Agent Dean told him "Tell me about Lindsay Messer"
"Monroe" Billy corrected "Her name is Lindsay Monroe"
"According to these files she hasn't been Lindsay Monroe for a few years, she's married. Her name is Lindsay Messer" Agent Dean told him and Billy sighed "How long have you known Lindsay?"
"Since she was born" Billy told them "We grew up together in Bozeman"
"I see that" Agent Salt said looking up from her file "Lindsay was good friends with Jill"
"The best" Billy told her defensively "They did everything together" he smiled at the memory
"You were good friends with Ryan Monroe correct?" Agent Salt asked
"Yes" he nodded "We still are"
"You hit him a few weeks ago" Agent Dean told him
"He was in my way, he understands" Billy told him
"What do you mean in your way?" Agent Dean questioned
"He was standing in front of Lindsay" Billy told them
"Did you think that Lindsay didn't want to leave with you?" Agent Salt questioned
"Of course not" Billy told them "She was afraid"
"Of you?" Agent Dean asked
"No of her husband" Billy corrected "She's afraid to leave him. You see you can ask her brothers, this man got Lindsay pregnant and then forced her into marriage"
"Did Lindsay ever tell you this Mr. Myers?" Agent Dean asked him
"Yes" Billy told him "We were really happy to get away"
"Lindsay was happy to leave her daughter behind?" Agent Salt asked him
"Yes. That brat was nothing more then a reminder of that man" Billy spat "Lindsay told me she wanted to run away with me"
"That's not what she told the police" Agent Dean informed him
"She's afraid!" Billy yelled but the two agents didn't move or even flinch "She's having another baby"
"Yes" Agent Dean nodded
"That's my baby" Billy told them
"Excuse me?" Agent Salt asked
"Lindsay Monroe is carrying my child and we were going to runaway together and raise him together" Billy told them "If it's a boy we were going to name him Billy Jr. and if the baby's a girl were going to name her Jill after my sister"
"She told you all this?" Agent Dean asked casually
"Yes" Billy nodded
"So you're saying you were having an affair with Lindsay Monroe?" Agent Salt asked
"That's what I'm saying" Billy said to them "She couldn't resist me when she came to Montana to visit" he said with a wink to Agent Salt who just looked away
"Then why did you try to kill her in the bathtub of the motel?" Agent Dean asked him briskly
"I wasn't trying to kill her" Billy told him "Why does everyone keep saying that?"
"What were you doing then?" Agent Dean asked "You were found holding her under water"
"No what happened was I was helping her into the bath and her husband walked in and shot me in a jealous rage" Billy told them as if he truly believed it
"Why were her clothes still on?" Agent Salt asked him
"I don't know" Billy said to her and she nodded
"There were witness's" Agent Dean told him "Witness's of you dragging her into the motel and more then just Detective Messer's statement of seeing you drowning her"
"There liars" Billy told him "Where is Chris he knows how I feel about Lindsay, he'll back me up"
"How long have you been in love with Lindsay?" Agent Salt asked him
"Since the night I lost Jill" Billy told her looking her into her eyes "She was in shock, we all were and she came over to me and placed her hand on my shoulder and cried. I hugged her until we both couldn't cry anymore"
"They found some of Lindsay belonging's at your home in Bozeman" Agent Dean told him "Personal things"
"Oh" Billy nodded
"Did Lindsay know you took these things?" Agent Dean questioned and Billy smiled
"Yes" he lied with a big smile "She gave them to me. Her underwear, one of her brushes, some of her clothes-"
"Why would she give you those things?" Agent Salt asked him
"Because she didn't want me to forget her" Billy said still smiling "Little did she know I would never forget her"
"Are you sure you didn't take those things without her knowledge so you wouldn't forget her?" Agent Salt asked him as her voice slightly rose up
"I'm sure" Billy bit back defensively "You don't know the kind of relationship we shared"
"Did you have a physically relationship with Lindsay Monroe?" Agent Dean asked him
"She's carrying my child" Billy reminded him
"Before you arrived in New York" Agent Dean corrected
"Yes" Billy smiled
"How old were you and Lindsay when you started a physical relationship?" Agent Dean asked
"She was 16 and I was 19" Billy told them
Outside looking in Mac could tell Christopher was starting to loose his cool
"Maybe you should step outside" Mac said to him "These are all lies, you know that"
"Do you have any idea how sick this man is Detective Taylor?" Christopher asked him "He'll never stand trial and that means he'll never pay for what he did to Lindsay and it also means he'll go on believing his own lies"
"You couldn't have known" Mac offered "No one did not even Lindsay and she is one of my best detectives"
"Out of all my siblings Lindsay and I are the closest. We both knew at young ages we wanted to go into law enforcement. She was going to be an FBI agent but when her friends were killed she wanted to be a CSI. It put me at ease because I thought it would be safer then what I do. But over the years of hearing about her going undercover, shooting serial killers in her home and now this- she's not safe at all" Chris told him not taking his eyes off of Billy Myers who started going into details about his 'relationship' with Lindsay "Billy Myers is someone I should have seen coming but didn't"
"No one could have seen him coming" Mac said to him "I do know this though. Lindsay is in excellent hands here in New York. She's got all of us and Danny. And I know you and your brothers aren't to keen on Danny but he's a guy you want on your side protecting you. I've known him for years and I've never seen him fight for somebody like he does for Lindsay. And that's not just because they're married, Danny's been Lindsay's protector since her second day on the job" Mac informed him "You should rest easy knowing she's with him"
"I like Danny" Chris told him casually "A lot. But I'll never tell him that I want to keep him on his toes. I read into Danny Messer the second I heard she was pregnant and I liked what I read. I'm sure you received a lot of grief for hiring him but you saw a lot of potential in him that I can see now has paid off"
"Exactly" Mac said to him
"Jason hates Danny" Chris told him trying to lighting the mood even though he hadn't taken his eyes off of Billy either had Mac
"I noticed" Mac smirked to himself thinking back to the scene at the hospital a few weeks back between Danny and Lindsay's older brother Jason.
Crime Lab
It was now after nine and Danny walked into the AV lab and found Lindsay there
"What are you doing?" Danny asked
"Running some tests" Lindsay told him casually
"You were off three hours ago" Danny reminded her
"I was but I called your mom and she was having such a good time with Lucy she wanted to keep her the night and I really wanted to finish these tests" Lindsay said not taking her eyes off of what she was doing
"I know you don't like to hear it but you are pregnant and you should be taking it easy" Danny said to her and she turned to him and gave him a smile
"I am I promise" she told him and he walked further in
"Well I'm off now and I'm not staying and I'm not leaving you here" Danny smirked "Let's go"
"Ok" Lindsay said "And not because you said so but because I'm finished" she told him then grabbed her coat "Did you speak to Mac or my brother?"
"No why?" Danny asked
"I know they watched Billy's interview" Lindsay said to him and he sighed
"I don't want to hear that name anymore" Danny told her seriously "If there was something they felt we should be concerned about then they would have informed us ok?"
"Yea ok" Lindsay said forcing a smile
"You hungry?" Danny asked her as they walked out of the AV lab
"Starved" Lindsay sighed "I skipped lunch"
"Why?" Danny asked "That's important"
"I know, I know I just wanted to keep my mind busy" Lindsay told him and Danny wrapped his arm around her waist
"So now you're going to cost me double because I'm going to be feeding you two meals" Danny smirked
"Well technically I'm eating for two so my dinner is going to cost you the price of four meals" she teased as Mac watched from his desk the two young CSI's leave together and head for the elevator
Diner
Danny and Lindsay walked into a diner that was right around the corner from the lab. They were seated at a booth when an older woman walked over
"Hello detectives" She smiled, Danny and Lindsay were regulars here "Where's Lucy tonight?"
"Sleeping" Danny answered looking at the menu
"What can I get ya? The usual dinners?" she asked
"Yea" Danny nodded handing her the menu
"And can we have an extra order of fries and onion rings" Lindsay asked sweetly "He's really hungry tonight" she said nodding towards Danny who snorted
"No problem" she smiled walking away
"What?" Lindsay asked her husband innocently "I'm the one getting fat you can at least share some embarrassment with me"
"There's nothing embarrassing about being pregnant" Danny told her taking a sip of his drink
"Says the man who doesn't have to worry about his clothes or stretch marks or people wondering if you're so big that you're carrying twins" Lindsay told him in a low voice
"You're beautiful whether you're the size of my pink or a house" Danny told her
"That's romantic" Lindsay mocked and they turned there attention towards the TV
"According to a source the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit interviewed Billy Myers today and uncovered some disturbing truths" The Reporter began who was reporting outside the hospital Billy was in "Mr. Myers claims to not only have had a physical relationship with his alleged victim Detective Monroe at a young age but claims they re-ignited there relationship when he arrived in New York a few months ago. According to Mr. Myers Detective Monroe is carrying his child and was a willing participant in the alleged abduction. She claims to have been too scared of her husband-"
The reporter was cut off when the waitress that was serving Danny and Lindsay abruptly shut the TV off
"Oh my god" Lindsay said to herself
"Linds-" Danny started but Lindsay stood up and ran out of the diner "Damn" he mumbled then stood up and chased her out. He caught her getting into a cab and ran over and held his hand up to stop the cab driver, Lindsay rolled her window down "Where are you going?"
"To talk to Billy-" Lindsay started
"No you're not get out of the car" Danny said to her forcefully
"Danny this tarnishing our marriage now!" Lindsay yelled "People think I'm had an affair with that man! That I'm afraid of you!"
"Lindsay just get out of the cab and will talk about it" Danny said to her as he tried to reach his hand in to unlock her door
"Danny stop" Lindsay said shooing away his hand
"What are we doing here?" the cab driver asked annoyed
"Shut up" Danny snapped at the cab drive "Come on Linds, they wont even let you in and even if they did it wouldn't be until morning"
"I'll wait there" Lindsay told him
"Please Montana just get out of the cab" Danny pleaded and Lindsay looked at him and gave up and stepped out of the cab, which abruptly drove off
"I'm so sorry Danny" Lindsay said as Danny pulled her into a tight hug, he put up a great front but on the inside he was seething
"You have nothing to be sorry for" Danny told her as he pulled away slightly still keeping one arm wrapped around her "Let's eat and talk about this later ok?"
"Ok" Lindsay nodded as Danny opened the diner doors for and she stepped in
Crime Lab
Mac watched the entire news report and ran his hand threw his hair then his phone went off and smiled at the familiar name
"Stella" Mac answered
"Mac what the hell is going on?" Stella asked him anxiously "I turn on tru tv and I see Lindsay's face posted all over it and I hear reports about her marriage which I know aren't true-"
"Stella calm down" Mac told her softly "We're handling it"
"It's not true Mac" Stella told him in more of a statement then a question
"To Billy Myers it is" Mac informed her "It's exactly what he said in his interview today"
"How did that get leaked?" Stella asked
"Lindsay's brother was there and it was hit team so I don't think it was them. Could have been a nurse or the doctor looking for some extra cash" Mac told her
"Have Lindsay or Danny seen it?" Stella asked him
"Not that I know of" Mac sighed knowing they had probably seen the report
Danny and Lindsay's apartment
Lindsay walked in first and collapsed on the couch
"Let's get you to bed Montana you can barley keep your eyes opened" Danny said walking over to her
"I want to talk first" Lindsay told him looking up at him "You really don't believe any of that crap right?"
"Of course not" Danny said offering a smile "I know you and believe me anyone that knows you and hears the report is going to know its all lies"
"I'm not afraid of you" Lindsay added with a smile "And I wouldn't leave you"
"I know that" Danny said offering her a small smile "Come on" he said taking her hands and lifting her off the couch and into the bedroom
The next morning it was only seven in the morning when Lindsay awoke to obnoxious knocking on the door. Danny was out like a light and she turned to him
"Danny" she said in a whisper
"Hmm. What?" Danny asked with his eyes still closed
"I'll get it" Lindsay mumbled getting out of the bed once the knocking continued
"I got it Linds" Danny said now being more awake and beat her to the door and looked threw and saw a man dressed in a suit he didn't recognize and slowly opened the door
"Can I help you?" Danny questioned
"Lindsay Monroe Messer?" the man questioned
"Do I look Lindsay Messer to you?" Danny shot back
"Danny" Lindsay said walking over "I'm Lindsay"
"You've been served" the man said handing her a file then left leaving both Danny and Lindsay dumbfounded at the door and she quickly read threw the file
"Oh my god" Lindsay gasped looking over the file
"What is it?" Danny asked
"Billy's parents are suing me for mental anguish on behalf of Billy" Lindsay said looking over it
"What?" Danny said snatching the file looking over it closing the door "This is ridiculous" Danny mumbled as Lindsay slowly walked over the couch
"Danny" Lindsay started as she sat on the couch
"No I've had it up to here with all of them!" Danny yelled "I'm going to find Billy's parents and give them a harsh piece of reality about there wonderful son, then-"
"Danny-" Lindsay said again
"-I'm heading over to the news station and punching that Chuck Storms in the face then-"
"Danny!" Lindsay yelled this time "Something's wrong" Lindsay said threw pain as she clutched her stomach
"Linds" Danny said rushing over to her
"I think you should take me to the hospital" She told him as calmly as possible as Danny watched his wife in both shock and horror
"Ok" Danny said grabbing his key's and putting his shoes on "Come on" He said lifting Lindsay into his arms
The Hospital
Danny was in the waiting room when Flack came rushing in
"Danny" Flack said pulling Danny out of his thoughts he was pacing back and forth
"How did you know I was here?" Danny asked, he was to preoccupied to call anyone
"Your mother called for you and Linds and got answer, called me I went to your place and your door was left opened I got worried and had your phone traced" he said to him "What happened"
"Lindsay" he said running his hand over his face "She was in pain. Is Lucy alright-?"
"Yea, yea she's fine" Flack assured him "How long has she been in there?"
"About an hour I guess" Danny shrugged "She's being sued"
"Lindsay?" Flack asked stunned "By who?"
"Billy Myers parents- mental anguish she inflicted to their son" Danny spat "His mental anguish? Look at my wife in there Flack! Look what he's causing her!" he yelled pointing to the room Lindsay was in
"Detective Messer" a doctor said walking out of the room
"Yea" Danny said walking over with Flack standing behind him "Is Lindsay-"
"She's fine and so is the baby" the doctor assured him quickly "The cramping was a mix of gas and stress. Her blood pressure is far to high Detective it's at the point where it could be very dangerous for the fetus"
"How do I fix it?" Danny asked her anxiously
"We're going to keep her here for a few more hours then will determine if we're going to admit her over night but she needs to be on bed rest and I mean absolute bed rest" the doctor warned him seriously "I don't want her going back to work anytime soon"
"I got it" Danny said nodding
"She can't over exert herself either. The first couple of days she's confided to a bed do you understand? She gets up to use the bathroom that's it" The doctor told him sternly and he nodded "I understand what's been going on in the news but you've got to find a way to shelter her from it"
"Yea I can do that" Danny said nodding "Can I see her?"
"Sure" the doctor said and Danny turned to Flack
"I'll call Mac" Flack said already pulling his phone out as Danny walked into Lindsay's room
"Montana" Danny smiled leaning over and kissing her forehead
"I overreacted" Lindsay said immediately
"Stop" Danny warned "We're not talking about it, you need to remain calm-"
"How can I Danny?" Lindsay asked
"You have to trust me" Danny told her sternly "Can you do that?"
"Yea of course" Lindsay said to him
"Then trust I'll fix this alright" Danny said kissing her hand "The only thing you should be worrying about is what kind of books you want me to pick up for you since you're confided to bed rest"
"I can't be on bed rest Danny we've got Lucy-" Lindsay started
"You're on bed rest" Danny told her firmly "And don't worry about Lucy"
"I was so scared" Lindsay said as tear fell from her eye
"Don't be" Danny said "You're carrying a Messer we're strong boys"
"Baby could be a girl" Lindsay said offering him a soft smile
"You just wont let me have it will ya?" Danny teased
"Lindsay" Flack smiled walking in the room
"Hey" Lindsay smiled back
"Hey are you working right now?" Danny asked Flack
"No not until twelve why?" Flack asked
"I have to run back to the apartment and check on Lucy-" Danny started
"I will sit here with Lindsay" Flack said cutting Danny off
"I don't need a baby-sitter" Lindsay told him as Danny stood up and Flack took his chair
"I know" Danny said leaning in to kiss Lindsay on the top of her head "I'll be back"
"Ok" Lindsay smiled then Danny left
"You hungry?" Flack asked
"You're going to get breakfast?" Lindsay asked
"No but Mac's on his way over and if I tell him you're hungry he'll get you food and I just also happen to be hungry-" Flack said innocently "-then I don't see why he can't buy us both breakfast you know what I mean?"
"Sure" Lindsay smirked
"I hope you're craving something good" Flack smiled taking his phone out and dialing Mac's number
"A bagel" She told him
"Mac Taylor the head of the New York Crime Lab is going to bring you whatever breakfast you want and you choose a bagel?" Flack asked stunned "At least say you want a bagel from Brooklyn or something" he mumbled as he held the phone to his ear
Hotel
Danny knocked on a hotel door and saw an older man answer
"Can I help you?" The man asked Danny
"Yea" Danny said walking in "Who do you think you are?" he asked him
"Excuse me?" the man asked as a women around the same age came out of the room
"What's going on?" the women asked
"Your son is turning Lindsay's life upside down" Danny told them "I'm sure you two want to see the best in your kid but he's a psycho path and suing Lindsay is going to get you no where"
"You're her husband" the woman said eyeing him
"I mean what do you want our money for? I'm sure you have more cash on you in your purse then we make a year" Danny snapped her
"Now you listen-" Linda Myers started
"Honey" David Myers said cutting her off "Have you heard the news son? You're wife is an adulteress-"
"No she is not" Danny told him firmly
"Didn't you hear the stories our son told the feds! She's been sleeping with him since she was sixteen that's disgusting!" David yelled Danny
"I suggest you watch your tone Mr. Myers" Danny warned "My wife did no such thing I know her a hell of a lot better then you two do"
"Sounds like you're trying to convince yourself of that" Linda offered "Lindsay always seemed to be a troubled girl, her and her entire family"
"No the troubled person in this equation is your lunatic son!" Danny yelled "He tried to kill her! He's been obsessing over her for half of her life! The evidence is there!"
"Now I'm going to tell you to watch your tone" David Myers warned
"Or what?" Danny asked stepping closer to him, Danny didn't want to have to hit an older man but if it meant protecting Lindsay he would then someone cleared their throat and all three turned to see Chris Monroe
"Danny you should leave" Chris said stepping into the room
"What are you doing here Chrissy?" Linda Myers asked him bitterly
"I came to retrieve my brother-in-law" Chris said to them
"Do you know that they're suing your sister!" Danny yelled "They want her to cover his medial bills- they blame her for his mental state"
"She is a trashy little girl and she always has been!" David Myers yelled "She was a bad influence on Jill and we all knew it but we didn't want to force the issue"
"I know everyone is angry here but we need to take a step back and cool off" Chris warned as David Myers was also starting to push his buttons "Danny's a little concerned about Lindsay she was admitted into the hospital this morning, high stress is causing complications for her pregnancy"
"It's not even your kid!" Linda yelled at Danny
"It is" Danny told her in a low voice
"Don't worry will find out when we petition for a paternity test and if this child is Billy's Lindsay will never see it again and if I were you I'd worry about that little girl you have at home she might end up a whore like her mother" David said causing Danny to lunge at him but Chris grabbed him
"It's what he wants!" Chris yelled forcefully restraining Danny
"I want you both out or we're calling the police" Linda warned
"Go ahead, tell my co-workers I said hi" Danny snapped as Chris led Danny to the door
"You know it should have been Lindsay to die that night not Jill, none of this would be happening" Linda said to her husband David causing Chris to speak up
"You need to be a little more respectful when it comes to my sister" Chris warned them "I'll start taking these accusations and comments as threats"
"How about you just take them out of our hotel room!" David yelled slamming the door on them
"You need to cool off" Chris warned Danny
"Did you hear what they said about Lindsay and Lucy? Your sister and your niece?" Danny asked him unbelievably "Where do they get off!"
"I'd be reacting the same way but you flying off the handle isn't going to help this lawsuit or Lindsay" Chris said to him "You don't think I didn't want to deck David in there? We have to keep our cool here"
"You mean I do because you're just going to fly back off somewhere and it's going to be me taking Lindsay and this mess" Danny spat at him "You guys only show up here when you happen to be passing threw then you judge me on how I look out for her. At least I'm a constant in her life" he snapped at Chris as they walked out of the hotel
"I'm not leaving New York until this mess is cleared up" Chris informed him "I'll be staying with you and my sister and taking care of niece while she's on bed-rest so don't you worry about a thing" he said in a low voice then walked away from Danny leaving him equally angry and they both walked in opposite directions
Once Chris turned the block he pulled out his cell phone and dialed a number
"Taylor" Mac said into the phone
"You were right he showed up at there hotel" Chris told him
"He keep his cool?" Mac questioned
"He was until Billy's parents said some unkind things about Lindsay and Lucy" Chris told him and he heard Mac sigh "He didn't hit David Myers"
"That's a positive I suppose" Mac said
"You're doing the press conference today aren't you?" Chris questioned
"Yea you want your team in on it?" Mac asked already knowing
"That'd be great" Chris said
"I'm at the hospital now will talk more when you get here" Mac said
"Yes sir" Chris said then hung up
