While Mac was in his Office Sheldon came running in.
"We got a hit Mac...Harold Gannon. He has three previous charges for sexual assault. He was released two weeks ago. I've found an address for him. he's staying at the New York City Rescue Mission 90 Lafayette Street."
Grabbing his jacket, they headed out the door. Hearing the sirens in front of the Mission Harold took off out the back door of the kitchen. Seeing the Officers coming towards him he climed the escape ladder to the roof.
Trying the door, he found it locked. Knowing he was trapped, he banged on the door hoping someone would hear him.
Sitting on the stairs the little boy heard the banging coming from the roof. His mommy had told him he wasn't to play up there. but she didn't say he couldn't let someone in.
Climbing the stairs he pushed the handle down as he heard Officers yell...
"Freeze Harold....don't move."
Grabbing up the child he hugged him to his chest. Then walking backwards he neared the ledge. Mac and Don froze. They knew if they startled Harold he would jump with the child in his arms.
"Listen to me Harold. I'm Det.Mac Taylor. We can talk about this. We can work something out....just put down the child."
"Noooooooo....I ain't going back to jail. I'll kill the boy with me if you come any further. I have nothing to lose now."
Mac seen Sheldon sneaking up behind the suspect from the fire escape stairs. Carefully reaching the top, Sheldon quietly stepped behind Harold, and tackled him to the ground, with the child sandwiched between them.
Running over Mac cuffed Harold while Sheldon checked the little boy.
"I want my mommy.....mooooooooooommy..."
"Shh...it's okay. Let's get you back to your mommy."
As Sheldon headed downstairs with the boy the mother ran out.
"Gavin....oh God...Gavin."
"It's okay maam....he's fine."
After explaining the situation to the mother. Mac and Sheldon headed back to NYPD.
"Hell of a day...eh Mac?"
"You can say that again. Thank God it's over, and everything worked out. You're quite a hero Sheldon."
"Naaaah....all in a days work Mac."
Slapping his back, they laughed.
With Harold safely put away, Mac, Sheldon, and Don decided to head home.
"I think we need some relief Mac. How about your place tonight. Sheldon and I will bring the movies. You and Stel handle the snacks."
"Sound like an idea. But no love stories. Grab a couple oldies."
"Hmm...what did you have mind Mac?"
"Oh...maybe some Impostor and Miracle...."
Don laughed...."we'll see what we can do. See ya Mac."
When Mac got in the door Mitch rolled towards him in his walker. Reaching his arms in the air he giggled for daddy to pick him up.
"Heeeeeey.....there's my little man. How goes it?"
Bouncing up and down on his daddy's hip, Mac carried him to the kitchen.
"Hi Stel."
"Hi....bout time. I hear we are having guests tonight?"
"We are. Uncle Don...Uncle Sheldon...and your Aunties."
Mitch clapped his hands, and laid his head on his daddy's shoulder.
