Chapter 8

Back at the Hospital Arianna decided to check on Sheldon. She had promised Stella that she would look in on him from time to time. Walking into his room she seen him trying to stand. "Whoa... hey now, Sheldon. None of that. You've had major surgery and I seriously don't believe the doctor would be letting you out of bed yet. Not when you still have your catheter in."

Sheldon looked at her with frustration. "Are you one of my doctors? Cause I don't remember you," said Sheldon. "No, I'm actually Stella's OBGYN. I promised her I would check in on you from time to time. Now please don't argue with me and get back into bed," said Arianna. Climbing back into the bed, Sheldon sat back and closed his eyes.

"Please Sheldon, look at me, said Arianna. Opening his eyes he turned towards her and sighed. I know you are frustrated and confused, but you've been seriously injured and Stella would be very upset with me if you hurt yourself. My name is Arianna, Stella and I met on the plane as they were coming home to New York. Stella went into labor and I had to deliver Calista on the plane. After that, she asked me to watch you for her. She said that you could be very stubborn at times and would try to escape if given the chance. I can see she was right on all accounts."

Sheldon watched her with his eyes, he could see she had gorgeous miles of legs under that Hospital jacket she was wearing. He also didn't miss her beautiful marigold eyes and rich dark brown hair. She was a gorgeous african beauty if ever he had seen one. It had been years since any woman affected him the way she was with her hand gesters alone.

Arianna could feel Sheldon's heated glare, she could feel his eyes burning over each and every part of her body. Trying not to show her nervousness she felt herself shiver. Watching she could tell by Sheldon's eyes that he didn't miss it either. Especially with that sensual grin he now had on his face. Trying to remember how to breathe, she continued...

"So... for the next two weeks I will be coming in to check on you. That includes speaking with your doctors for Stella. Everytime you don't do as you are told, I will let Stella know. So you best behave Doctor, CSI, whatever Hawkes."

Turning to leave the room she heard Sheldon say.... "That's Mister Hawkes, to you ." Not looking back, Arianna smiled. How could she not when the famous Sheldon Hawkes had admired her like he wanted to eat her whole. What more could a woman ask for then a man that desires her at every turn.

Once she was gone Sheldon smiled as he whispered to himself...

"I just met my future wife."

Back at the lab, Adam had finally got a hit from a piece of tree bark. Running it into the system Mac walked in.

"What do you have, Adam?" asked Mac. "I found some skin in the piece of bark you dropped off. I'm running it through CODIS now,"
said Adam. "Good, hopefully we'll get a hit, said Mac. I'd really like to close this case."

"Mac... yelled Danny. Don picked up two kids in Central Park. Both had BB guns, he's bringing them in now."

'Thanks Danny. I'll be right there, said Mac. Adam... call me when you get a hit."

"I will Mac. Good luck with those kids," said Adam.

When Mac arrived at the Interrogation room he noticed the young boys were no more then eight. "Don... a minute of your time please."

"Sure Mac, what is it?" asked Don.

"These aren't our kids. These are not the boys we are looking for," said Mac.

"Sure they are. We found the guns on them," said Don.

"Think about it Don. These boys are no more then eight. I'm thinking they were either given the guns or found them in the park. Hopefully we can get some trace off of them," said Mac.

Heading into Interrogation when the child Lawyers arrived, Mac asked...

"Hi Michael. My name is Detective Mac Taylor and I'd like to ask you a few questions."

"They're not our guns, sir. We found them in the park. They were in the trash can. Can we go now?" asked Michael.

"Before you leave, can you take Detective Flack here back to the park and show him exactly where you found them?"

"Yeah... I'm really sorry about those kids on the bus. I go to school with them. Some of them were my friends."

As the boys walked out with their parents and Don, they headed to the park.
