Hi gals! Ready for the more more fixing? :lol: :lol: :lol: I've really really tried very very hard. :lol: :lol: :lol: Of course, more more more fixing's still pending, pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeee be patient! 
Part 6
“Help! Help me! Cameron, CAMERON!” Stella screamed in the middle of the night.
“What’s going on?” Cameron asked outside the door.
Stella cried. “My babies! I’m bleeding. Help me!”
Cameron opened the door but didn’t enter. He observed Stella from the doorway.
Stella sat leaning against the wall outside the toilet. There was blood on her hands and her night gown. She was crying.
“Please help me. I don’t want to lose my babies.” Stella cried hysterically. She was shivering, screaming for help.
Cameron watched her for about three minutes. She was so calm but alert since he locked her up. The babies were all she cared. Cameron decided she wasn’t faking this. He approached and crouched in front of Stella, ready to check on her.
Liked a flash across the sky, Stella wrapped the chain around his neck and tightened it. Cameron was surprised by Stella’s trick. He tried to pull the chain away but failed. He then charged for Stella’s neck but it was too late. Stella had used every ounce of her strength to subdue him. She must protect herself and her babies until Mac find her. Cameron showed no intention to hurt her for now. But there was no guarantee that he wouldn’t change his mind, or transfer her to other place.
Cameron passed out. Stella tore the lower part of the nightgown to tie him up. She put his hands on his back and tied with one end of the fabric then connected the other end to his ankles.
Stella was covered in sweat and tired when she finished the job. She lay down on the mattress. She stroked her abdomen and talked to her babies. “It’s OK, babies. Daddy would find us soon.”
----------------------------------------
It was five in the morning, none of Mac’s team members went home. They were anxious about the lack of evidence and the safety of Stella. She had been missing for twenty hours. They gathered at the AV room. Adam had isolated the male suspect from the clinic’s surveillance tape. The guy was smart. He knew how to avoid the camera and always lowered his head. The only thing they knew about him was he wore glasses, unless that was part of his costumes. He was wearing a ski mask in the parking lot’s tape. Judging from the physique and the height, it was the same man.
Mac walked in with a tired body, followed by a hasty Lindsay.
“Mac, I found John Davis had a son…” Lindsay called him from behind.
“Jeremy Davis. “ Mac finished the sentence for her. “I found a fingerprint and dried curry sauce in Benson’s kitchen. Got a match in AFIS, Jeremy Davis, he’s in the wanted list for an assault case. That’s why he’s so careful with his track. His father was Eliza Benson’s adoptive father. The sketch Greg Michaels described matched. The curry sauce matched the sample from the envelope. He’s our guy. He abducted Stella and murdered Eliza Benson. Kidnapping Stella was not their original plan. He killed Eliza because she wanted to turn him in.”
“I don’t think he has a last known address then.” Danny said.
“No.” Mac sighed heavily and rubbed his neck.
“Maybe I should check his father’s file again, see whether he had any properties or relatives that would lead us to Jeremy.” Lindsay suggested.
“I can check his assault case file again.” Hawkes said.
“I’ll check Benson’s mails and diaries.” Danny said.
“Let’s do it. Hey, guys.” Mac stopped them when they were leaving. “Thank you.”

Hey everyone, thank you for the reviews! Here's the update.
Part 7
Cameron, no it was Jeremy Davis. Jeremy came around and found himself became Stella’s prisoner.
“I underestimated you, detective.” His voice was hoarse.
“You’re not the first one.” Stella smiled.
“Where did you get all this blood?”
Stella showed him her finger tips. “I bit myself.”
“You’re good.” Jeremy sighed. “I might underestimate you but I’m not stupid. I didn’t bring a phone or anything useful for you. Now what? You tied me up but you still couldn’t get out. How do you suppose to get help?”
“Don’t worry. I’ll figure it out.”
“Hahaha…We may die here but I’m still the winner. I have nothing to lose but Mac Taylor will lose his lover and his babies.”
“Maybe you want to tell me why you are doing this? You know, being nice before we die.”
“You and your boyfriend sent my father to prison. He died there. My mom killed herself. You ruined my family. I want you to pay for it.” Jeremy was angry.
“We didn’t send anyone to prison. We collect evidence. He went to prison because of what he did. Just like you. You’re going to the prison or hell because you kidnapped me.” Stella was furious.
“Whatever. You have to die with me.”
Stella paced in the room. He was right. She couldn’t get to the door. How could she get help? Then she saw his glasses. She took his glasses away.
“Hey. What are you doing?”
“Thank you for your help.” Stella smiled.
----------------------------------------
The team gathered at Mac’s office.
“John Davis’s didn’t own any properties. He had an elder sister lives in Phoenix. They were not close. She didn’t know where Jeremy is.” Lindsay shook her head.
“Jeremy Davis was a medical student at Chelsea U. He dropped out and left home when he was in year two because of drug problems. He moved from place to place since then.” Hawkes said.
“Benson’s diary mentioned she and Jeremy used to play hide and seek in some abandon houses in Brooklyn when they were kids.” Danny said. “Maybe we should start there.”
“Yeah, but we must narrow down the area.” Mac said.
“He must use a car to take Stella to Brooklyn.” Lindsay said excitingly.
“They don’t have cars. Maybe they stole one but we couldn’t read the plate from the parking lot’s tape.” Danny said.
“Right.” Mac hurried to the AV room. The others followed.
“Adam, is there any footage showing the suspect’s car or Benson’s?”
“Yeah…yeah…yeah…they get off the same car.” Adam played the footage.
“Freeze it.” Mac pointed to the license plate. “Check up the car owner.”
Adam typed in the request.
“It belongs to Josh Donavan.” Adam said.
Mac pulled out his phone when he ran to the elevator. “Flack, Josh Donavan. I’ll join you at his house.”
Mac and Flack arrived Donavan’s house at the same time.
“Mac. What’s the story?”
“Benson and the suspect used Donavan’s car. Maybe he’s in.” Mac knocked hard on the door.
Josh Donavan opened the door himself. He was confused. “Detectives?”
“Where is your car, Doctor?” Mac asked.
“My car? It’s in the garage.”
“The one Eliza Benson used. It’s under your name.”
“That’s an old one. I bought another car this month. I let Eliza use the old one. It should be at her place.”
“No. It isn’t. I like to see your car.”
Donavan opened the garage door. There was a white Mercedes.
“Thank you, Doctor.” Mac left with Flack.
Mac gave the details of Donavan’s old car to Flack. “Put it on the radio. We found that car, we found Stella.”

Hi everyone! Thank you for reading this story. I give you the rest of it as a Christmas present.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Part 8
Stella looked up at the cracked window in the toilet. She couldn’t reach it with her leg shackled. She then went back to Jeremy and took off his shoes. She threw one of the shoes at the window. The window broke partially. She threw the other shoe at it. This time, the window broke completely. The shard flew and cut her foot. Stella picked up one of the shard and went to Jeremy.
Jeremy was scared when he saw Stella with a piece of sharp glass in hand. “Hey. What do you want?”
“Don’t worry. I wouldn’t kill you. I’ll see you rot in the jail.” Stella cut his T-shirt off and cut it into dozen of strips. She used the arm of Jeremy’s spectacle frame as pen, her blood as ink. She wrote a help note. She used the strips to make a rope. Then she bandaged her foot and limped back to the toilet. She tied one end of the improvise rope to the faucet, the glasses and the help note at the other end. She wrapped the glasses with the help note then threw it out through the broken window.
----------------------------------------
Mac, Danny, Hawkes and Flack were in Brooklyn, looking at Benson’s car.
“Petrol found it. The neighbor said it was parked here over one day. They saw a man alone. He parked the car and walked away.” Flack filled them in.
Mac looked around the neighborhood. “I don’t see any abandon house. This guy is smart. He parked the car few blocks away from his hiding place. Danny, Hawkes, you two to the south. Flack and I’ll be in the north. Let’s extend the perimeter to ten blocks in radius. ”
Flack passed the order to other officers via radio. Then they got in cars and cruising the area in a slow speed.
“You think Stella’s OK?” Flack asked.
“I hope so. The suspect said he’ll raise my kids. That means he would keep Stella alive for a while. But it’s too risky to keep her seven months until the babies born. I hope he didn’t change his mind.” Mac said while he scanning the neighborhood. “Stop. What’s that?” There was something reflecting sunlight outside a house. Something else was attaching to it.
“Let’s take a closer look.” Mac said.
They found the reflection came from an abandon house. They looked at each other and drew their weapons then moved quietly and slowly toward the house. There was no sign of activity inside or outside the house. When they got to the location, Mac found a pair of glasses attaching to a strip dangling from a window on the second floor. He and Flack moved a rusty oil drum from the backyard to under the window. Mac climbed up with Flack’s help. He put on the gloves, took the strip and read. He jumped off it immediately.
“It’s Stella.” Mac said excitingly and ran to the front door. Flack called for backup before he joined Mac.
The front door was locked. They went to the back door. They gently pushed the door open, waited for a minute, got in the house. They checked the ground floor but found nothing. They charged for the second floor one after one. There were four bedrooms. Mac took the left side while Flack took the right side. They took a peek into the first two. Mac saw a mattress and some clothes in the room, the other one was empty. They moved to the next two and peeked inside. Flack saw Stella sitting on a mattress. There was a man on the floor tied up like a rice dumpling.
“Mac!” Flack called Mac. They rushed into the room.
“Flack!” Stella got up immediately when she saw Flack. She broke into tears when she saw Mac and flew into his arms. “Mac!” The man snorted when he saw Mac.
Mac wrapped her tight in his arms and kissed her on the temple. “Stella. Thank God!”
Flack walked out of the room to give them some time before the backup arrived.
“You alright?” Mac loosened the embrace and looked at Stella’s face.
“Yeah.” Stella wiped her tears away with both hands.
Mac put his jacket on Stella and let her sat down on the mattress. He noticed the chain on Stella’s ankle and her wounded fingers and foot. He turned to the doorway. “Flack, get paramedic here and get someone cut this chain.”
Flack went back into the room. “They’re on the way.” Then he went to Jeremy. “Hello there!”
Part 9
“Hey.” Stella smiled when she saw Mac walked into the ward.
“Hey. How you feel?” Mac kissed her on the lips and asked.
“Fine. The doctor said our babies fine too.” Stella’s smile widened when she talked about the babies.
“Good.” Mac put a hand on Stella’s abdomen. “I’m so proud of you, Stella. You saved yourself and our babies.”
“I’m proud of you too. I knew I didn’t need to wait too long before you found me.”
“The whole team did. Flack too. We didn’t have much on this guy. I would be desperate if they didn’t have my back. I appreciate them.” Mac said sincerely.
“Maybe we could invite them to a dinner when I’m out of here.”
“Good idea.” Mac agreed.
“I heard you kept telling people your wife’s missing.” Stella tilted her head and said with a smirk.
“I did. What? You don’t want to be my wife?” Mac scratched the back of his ear and said with a smirk too.
“Mmm…I have to think about it. You know, with no flowers, no ring, no kneeling down.” Stella crossed her arms and pretended to think.
Mac laughed. “You want me to kneel down?”
“Of course I do. This is my first time to have a proposal.” Stella laughed too.
Mac wrinkled his nose and closed one of his eyes. “Alright.” He got down on one knee.
Stella laughed. “Mac! I was joking.”
“Hohoho!! Perfect timing!” Danny said from the doorway. The team members were all there, Flack and Sid too. Flack whistled and the others clapped their hands.
Stella blushed. “Get up, Mac! They would laugh at you the rest of their lives.”
“We finally have something on you.” Flack laughed.
“Don’t mind us, Boss. Do what you need to do.” Danny kept teasing, the others laughed loudly.
Mac blushed and laughed. “Shut up, Danny.” He took a ring out of his pocket and offered to Stella. “Stella, would you marry me?”
This time, Flack, Danny and the calmest Doctor Hawkes whistled together.
Stella was touched beyond words. Her tears fell when she nodded.
“Come on. Say the magic word, Stell!” It was Danny again.
“I do.” Stella leaned forward to pull Mac up. Mac put the ring on her finger.
Danny and Flack rubbed their hands and looked at each other. “Close the deal, Mac. Kiss her.”
Mac kissed Stella deeply on the lips.
“Oh, my…” Adam covered his eyes with one hand but peeked from the gaps.
Lindsay wrapped her arms around Danny’s waist.
“Congratulations!” They said all together.
“Thank you, guys!” Mac and Stella said together. Mac hugged every one of them.
“Alright, guys. Come on, drinks on me. My daughter in the lab is going to marry.” Sid pushed all the kids out of the ward.
“Yeah, I need something cold.” Adam said and they all left.
Stella put a hand on Mac’s face. “You shouldn’t do that. I was just joking.”
“It’s not a joke. It’s the start of our new lives.” Mac kissed her on the lips again.
----------------------------------------
“Sid. Are you ready?” Lindsay asked. They were at the church. It was Mac and Stella’s wedding day. Only the team members and a few close friends were invited. The new couple thought a simple ceremony with the people they cared attended was enough.
“I’m a bit nervous to walk Stella down the aisle.” Sid said.
“You can do this. You’re the perfect person to do this. Stella and Mac would have a long happy live with your blessing.” Lindsay adjusted Sid’s lapels and bow tie.
“Right. Thank you, sweetheart.” Sid patted Lindsay’s cheek.
When everything was ready, Stella came out of the bride’s room. She was wearing an elegant wedding gown and gloves, holding a bouquet of white lilies. Her hairs were all pinned up on top of her head liked a crown of roses, circled by a tiara. Layers of veils danced with her every step. She kissed Sid lightly on the cheek then put her hand in his arm.
Everyone held their breaths when Stella entered. Flack, the best man, whispered in Mac’s ear. “She’s stunning. You’re the luckiest guy.”
Mac was in a tuxedo. He didn’t even aware Flack was talking to him. He just couldn’t take his eyes off his wife. He knew he was the luckiest guy.
After the vows reciting, rings exchanging, they were announced husband and wife. Mac held Stella by the waist, they kissed passionately. The guests clapped and congratulated them.
Hand in hand, they walked out of the church.
- THE END -
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

When everything was ready, Stella came out of the bride’s room. She was wearing an elegant wedding gown and gloves, holding a bouquet of white lilies. Her hairs were all pinned up on top of her head liked a crown of roses, circled by a tiara. Layers of veils danced with her every step. She kissed Sid lightly on the cheek then put her hand in his arm.
Everyone held their breaths when Stella entered. Flack, the best man, whispered in Mac’s ear. “She’s stunning. You’re the luckiest guy.”
Mac was in a tuxedo. He didn’t even aware Flack was talking to him. He just couldn’t take his eyes off his wife. He knew he was the luckiest guy.
After the vows reciting, rings exchanging, they were announced husband and wife. Mac held Stella by the waist, they kissed passionately. The guests clapped and congratulated them.
Hand in hand, they walked out of the church.
