Black Eyes, Blue Tears

part 19...



With the information that Anthony had written down for Stella and Mac, they arrived at the marketing firm that Elizabeth Washington worked at.Walking up to the receptionist desk , they flashed their badges and asked if they could speak to Elizabeth Washington.

"Hold on just a second, detectives, " the receptionist said, "I'll call her extension for you."

"Thank you" Mac said. After a few minutes, the receptionist was still on the phone and Mac and Stella were getting impatient.

"Miss," Stella said sternly, "Are you done?"

The receptionist placed the phone back into the cradle and sighed, "She's not here, detectives."

Mac let out a small chuckle and placed his hands on the desk of the receptionist. "That's funny, because before we got in here, we searched for her car and found it parked in the garage."

Stella stepped in next to the receptionist and got on her level. "Now why don't you get back on that phone and call her down here please!"

The receptionist responded, shakily grabbing the phone.

Danny had his arm around her as he unlocked her door. Luckily, he had a spare. She gave him one when she first started working there just in case something happened to her. He cut on the lamp that was near the door, and it gave just enough light that they could see but not be overpowering.

Luckily the cleaning crew had cleaned up and that all the evidence had been taken back to the lab and that would make it a little bit easier for Lindsay to take in.

"Danny, I'm alright to walk, you can let me go," Lindsay said, weakly, "You don't have to baby me."

"Are you sure?" Danny said, concern still lingering in his voice.

"Yeah, I'm alright," Lindsay said, "Can you hand me that blanket over there in the chair."

As Danny turned to go get the blanket, a wave of lightheadness passed over Lindsay.

Danny turned just as Lindsay started to stumble. He dropped the blanket and ran to Lindsay just in time to catch her.

"I'm sorry,Danny, I'm sorry!" Lindsay said, tears swelling up in her chocolate brown eyes.

"It's all right, it's all right," Danny said, gently brushing her hair back, "I'm here for you and I'm not leaving."

He scooped her up and placed her on the couch, and put the cover on her. He found his way to her kitchen and found some aspirin and water and went back to get them to her but it was too late.

She was asleep.

I know this hasn't been updated in a long time, but I have to say....wow! I reckon you'd be a great NY script writer, put a few of the current ones out of a job even :D
 
Exactly what I was thinking! I do hope that you can find the time to be able to finish this story at some point... it would be a shame to leave it as it is, I'm was really enjoying it.
