Black Eyes, Blue Tears

part 10....


Mac and Stella arrived at the lab about 30 minutes after leaving the hospital. For it to be a late night, the lab was buzzing. They entered the elevator and stepped out.

"Stella, take the rape kit to DNA and I'll take the fibers that were found on her clothes to trace." Mac said.

"I'll will, Mac, " Stella said exasparated, "Page me when you get the results and I'll do the same for you."

After all was said and done, both went their separate ways.


At the bar, Danny had already exceeded the legal limit and from the looks of it, had no intentions of stopping. A clinking next to him drew his attention from his drink to the man next to him. The man kept tossing his keys in his hand, over and over again, driving Danny over the edge. Danny, normally a man who could control his temper when he wanted to, was tempted to do this man bodily harm, even risking his badge. At this point, he didn't even care.

"Dude, do you think that you could stop that." Danny said, slurring his speech.

"I'll stop if you want me too." The man replied.

Danny went back to his drink and a few minutes later, the clinking continued.

"Man, I asked you once and you complied and I'm not going to ask you again, knock it off!" Danny said, angerily.

"What's your problem, man," the man said, his voice laced with venom. "I love to see you try to stop me."

Danny staggered off his barstool and stood right up into the man's face, his nose inches from the other man's face.

"Oh, I will." Danny said, pushing the man against the bar.

The man stunned for a second or two, rebounded by popping Danny in the cheek with his fist.

That's all it took for the rage to come back and Danny attacked the man like his was his prey.

"You bastard!", Danny said,seething and punching the man in the face. "What ya going to do about, what ya doing to do about it."

"Danny!", a voice called behind him. It was Don. "Take a break man, or this will be the last day you be a detective".

Don ushered Danny to the side and played the peacemaker to the man and the bartender. They agreed not to press charges if Don and Danny leave immediately.

"Danny, what's your problem? Other than the fact that you're stone-cold drunk."

"Don, what if I lose her, what would I do?"


Back at the hospital


It had been breaking dawn outside when Lindsay finally came to. She looked around with worry and started panicking.

She grabbed the call button. "Nurse! Nurse!, she screamed into the intercom. "I need help, please!"

The nurse ran into the room, prepared in case of a emergency. "Miss Monroe what can I do for you?"

Lindsay looked up at the nurse with her big doe eyes. "Where's Danny?"

part 11...


The nurse reached the side of Lindsay's bed and tried to calm Lindsay down.

"Miss Monroe, I think it's best that you don't see him until you have recovered a bit."

Lindsay glared at the nurse, with pure anger and hatred. " I don't care who you are, and what you do, but you will not stop me from seeing him. Hell or high water, I WILL see him. I think the best thing for you to do is to get him NOW!"

The nurse glared at Lindsay, her cold, steel eyes fixated on Lindsay. "Miss I think it's best that YOU calm down, matter of fact, I'll make sure that you will be out cold."

Fear and terror entered Lindsay's eyes and she started to strip the cover but the nurse was quicker than she was and jabbed the needle into Lindsay's arm.

Lindsay started to speak but the drugs took their toll on her and she was out cold.

The nurse discarded the needle in the hazardous container and reached out for her cellphone.

She dialed the number and talked to the man who has been paying her to "take care of Lindsay".

She listened to the voice on the phone and nodded in agreement, "I agree, she needs to pay."


*******************************************************************

Don took Danny back to Danny's apartment to sober him up.

"Danny, you need to sleep this one out. Lindsay'll talk when she's ready to." Don said.

"Don." Danny said, slurring his speech. "I gotta see her, please man?"

"No, not tonight, " Flack said, calmly "Get some sleep. Matter of fact, I'll stand guard so that she get's the rest she needs."

"Kay" Danny said, before passing out on the floor.

********************************************************************
Back at the lab, Stella had recieved the results of the rape kit, and her eyes glazed with anger over the results. She reached into her pocket for her phone.

Lindsay was raped.

grrr you better update soon or I'll get the pitchfork after you! Danny needs to find out what happened and take care of them.
 
part 12.....

Stella's face became flushed with anger as she took in the results of Lindsay's rape kit.The torture that Lindsay must have endured took Stella's breath away. Her heart was caught in her throat, mainly because it took her to the personal Hell she went through with Frankie. When Frankie attacked her, she became a tiger in a cage,ready to pounce on prey given the opportunity. And the opportunity was a'knockin.

"Mac," she said into the speaker of her phone, "I've got the results of Lindsay's rape kit. It's positive for sexual assault."

After a long bout of silence, Mac responded with a sigh, clearly upset with the situation.

"Damn!" Mac, yelled angerily, making the whole lab crew startle in fright over the sudden outburst of their superior.

"Mac,"Stella said, calmly, becoming her own voice of reason for Mac.

"I know, I know,"Mac said, "I'll calm down. However, I did run the fibers through trace. No DNA match but I do know that the fiber comes from a material of high quality, maybe a Italian suit?"

There was flurry of movement to the side of them and Adam came into their view. He stood there to catch his breath after running through the lab, trying to reach Mac and Stella.

"Guys, I ran the fingerprints that were in Lindsay's apartment and I got a match through AFIS." Adam said, still out of breath.

Mac composed himself before asking: "Who is it?"

********************************************************************
The darkness closed in as Danny came into consiousness. He was in his bed, still in his clothes with the sounds of the city still buzzing with excitement. He slowly went to his closet, changed his clothes and headed out of his bedroom door.

He turned the corner near his kitchen and noticed Don sitting on his couch, asleep and snoring loudly.

Damn Don, Danny thought. Is this why the women are running away from you. That was the only light and amusing thought and then the anger returned with all the fury that was before.

He grabbed his keys and headed out the door, with Flack still snoring and the constant strain of him sitting straight up made him flop on the couch, still sleeping.

His only thought was being there for Lindsay when she woke up and that's all that mattered.

********************************************************************
Lindsay slowly awoke, groggy. She was sure she didn't pass out again, but her mind was a little fuzzy and she was trying hard to remember.

Her judgement was clouded and then it slowly came to her: she was drugged. She didn't care how she did it, she was going to get out of here and she was going to talk to Danny.

Her second attempt to remove the cover was successful and she swung her legs over the side of the bed and stood upright.

She was doing alright when she felt light-headed. Lindsay started to fall, when a strong pair of hands caught her before she could.

It was Danny.

Thanks a bunch, guys! I have finals this week so I'll be able to update maybe on monday. But real soon!
 
Guess what, I got caught up on my finals!

Here is a present!

chapter13...


Danny caught the faint whiff of her shampoo as he held Lindsay close to his body. She clung to him tightly, grasping his shoulders that would surely bruise, but that was at no importance. Being here for her was gratitude enough.

"Danny, "Danny, Lindsay said, horsely, "Please take me home, I don't want to stay here any longer." The pleading in her voice broke his heart, it tore him up inside.

He couldn't stand it any longer. Danny released Lindsay and propped her against the bed and went over to the window and grabbed the wheelchair that was propped up against the wall. He unfolded it and pushed it over to Lindsay.

Trying to resist the urge but couldn't, he placed a small kiss on the tip of her nose and helped her into the wheelchair. He grabbed a blanket, and placed it over her lap. Danny started to push Lindsay but he felt her soft hand caressing his cheek. He looked down, and Lindsay reached up and kissed Danny on the lips, the warmth radiating throughout his body. She smiled warmly.

"Thank you, cowboy,"Lindsay said, looking into his eyes, "Let's ride."

Taking the wheelchair out of park, he was headed towards the door when it was flung open and the nurse stormed into the room. She glared at Danny and Lindsay and seethed, "Where do you think you're going?"




*Danny's Apartment*


A loud thud from the neighboring apartment startled Don out of a heavy sleep. He jumped up and knew something was not right. He had a suspicion that Danny was not in his bedroom sleeping. Taking quiet steps, he cracked open the door to Danny's room and peeked in.

Danny was nowhere to be found.


*Back at the lab*


Mac couldn't wait any longer. He had to know who did this to Lindsay. "Who, Stella, who?".

"The match comes back to a Anthony Garrett," Stella said, running her fingers in her curls, "He has a prior for a DUI."

"Well. let's go have a little chat with Mr. Garrett". Mac said, gravely.
