Re: CSI- NY " Danvale Case".
When Mac found Lindsay he asked...
"Lindsay! What happened?"
"I'm not sure Mac. One minute I was driving. The next thing I'm being bumped into on coming traffic."
"Did you happen to see the vehicle? Make or model? Anything?"
"I'm sorry Mac. I didn't see, and I'm so sorry I lost the key piece of evidence to finding the shooter."
Not saying anything more Mac told Lindsay to get some rest. Heading back upstairs Mac wondered to himself where the hell they were going to start now.
Walking into his wife's room he seen Danny sleeping in the chair.
"Danny, why don't you go get Lindsay and head home."
"You sure Mac? I don't mind staying."
"No. You go ahead. I'll stay with my wife."
"Okay Mac. I'll see you in the morning."
"Daddy...I had ice cream with Uncle Dons."
"I see that sweetheart. Come here."
Taking his daughter in his arms he whispered....
"How would you like to stay at Uncle Don's?"
"Yeah...I love that daddy. You come too?"
"No love. I'm staying with mommy."
"Okay daddy. Kisses please?"
Kissing his daughter on the mouth he whispered....
"I love you Claire Bear."
"I love you too daddy bear." she giggled.
With the case at a stand still and the room quiet, Mac crawled in beside his wife.
"Maaaac....."
"Shhh...it's okay love go back to sleep. I'm here."
Inhaling his wife's hair. He buried himself in her curls, whispered he loved her, and fell into sleep.
When Don got Claire home to his place she was wide awake and bouncing from all the ice cream.
"Wanna play hide a seek Uncle Dons?"
"Not tonight sweetheart. It's bedtime."
"No its not. I'm wide awake. Let's play."
Knowing it was his fault for giving her ice cream. Don gave in to her and began the game of hide and seek.
"You hide Claire. I'll count. One, two ,three, four, five. Ready or not here I come."
Don could hear her giggling behind his sofa. But instead of finding her, he pretended he didn't see her.
"Now where is that Claire? Hmmm....is she under the table? Nope...she's not there. How about under the curtains? Nope...she's not there either."
"Here I is Uncle Dons. Behind the couch."
Picking her up in his arms he said....
"And now little lady, it's time for bed."
"Awww...I's not tired."
"I know sweetheart. But try and close your eyes, okay?"
Covering her up under his comforter she feel into sleep.
"Hmm...not tired indeed." he whispered as he kissed her little cheek.
