Chapter 1.
It was a month after Ruben's death, Danny had gotten Rikki settled, with the help of Flack, who got her charges reduced to Community Service for 2 years. As Danny sat in his apartment, he stared at Ruben's picture, that lay on top of his memorial card. It had been hard for Danny to come to terms, with the death of Ruben, in his mind, he was still to blame.
Taking a swig of beer, Danny's tear filled eyes, looked at his badge. "Damn Danny, you don't deserve to be a detective, you've shamed your team, and Rikki's mother", he thought to himself. Getting up, Danny slid into his jeans, t-shirt, and jacket, picking up his gun and badge, he headed out to see Mac.
Arriving at NYPD, he seen Mac in his office, talking to Don. "Hey Mac....can I have a word with you for a moment"? "Sure Danny, come in, Flack, I'll see you later"? "Okay Mac, see ya Danno". "Yeah man, see ya". Sitting down, Danny looked at Mac, with his tear filled eyes. "Mac...I'm quiting the team, here's my badge, and gun, I feel I don't deserve to serve the city of NY, so I'm going away, I'm not sure when I'll be back".
"Danny...why are you doing this, Ruben's death was not your fault, you were not to blame". "Wasn't I Mac, I'm sorry if I disagree, but it was my fault, I should have kept him with me, I should have called for back up, I should have thought about him, before the scene before me". "Listen Danny, you can have all the should have's you want, but it was not your fault, you need to stop blaming yourself".
"I'm sorry Mac, I've made my decision, I quit. "Please Danny, if it's time off you need, take it, but don't quit, come back when you feel ready". Getting up walking towards the door, Danny turned and said...."Mac...I'll never be ready", leaving out the door, Danny didn't look back.
"What was that about Mac, Danny looked upset". "He quit Don, he's decided not to come back, he's leaving NY, for good".
As Mac left out the door, Flack stared at Danny's badge and gun, picking them up, he headed out the door. "Damn you Messer, I'm not going to let you leave, always so stubborn you are". Heading out to his car, he ran into Hawkes and Stella. "Hey Flack, where you off to in a hurry"? Not responding, Don got in his car, and took off. "What was that about"? "I'm not sure Sheldon, maybe Mac knows".
Heading into NYPD, Sheldon and Stella walked into Mac's office, to find out what was going on. "Hey Mac, what's with Don, he took off like a madman"? "he's gone after Danny, he quit this morning". "He what, you're kidding right Mac"? "Afraid not Hawkes, Ruben's death has affected him, more than any of us thought".
Not knowing what to say, Hawkes and Stella decided to say nothing at all. "Mac....have you seen Danny this morning"? "I have Lindsay, he's gone, he quit this morning, he's leaving NY". "Oh...this can't be happening, he didn't even say good bye, how rude is that". "Excuse me Lindsay, aren't you being kind of selfish, Danny's been through hell, and you haven't even been there for him", said Stella.
"I know....but I don't know how to handle it, or what to say to him, I'm no good at this kind of thing". "You're no good, Jesus Lindsay, how about thinking of Danny for once, did you ever once hold him, or tell him, it wasn't his fault"? "No....I wasn't sure what to say, so I've been avoiding him". "Well you are quite the piece of work, and you are not who I thought you were", storming out of the office, Stella didn't look back.
"Mac....you understand, don't you"? "Listen Lindsay, what I think or don't think, has nothing to do with you, I've lost my CSI, a damn good one at that". Leaving Lindsay standing alone, she sat, and said...."why can't they all just understand".
Arriving at Danny's apartment, Don found him packing. Watching him, Don knew getting through to Danny was going to be difficult this time, for this was the one time, Danny had had, to much time to think, think about what had happened. "Going somewhere Danno"? Looking up with bloodshot eyes, he said....."what do you want Don, you shouldn't be here, I'm no longer a detective".
"I'm here because you are my friend, and I'm very concerned about you". "Don't worry about me, I'll be fine, just me and my bike, traveling the cities, exploring new ground". Caressing Danny's badge in his hand, Don thought back to all the times him and Danny had shared a beer, had lunch, or just hung out, Don had always known there was something more between him and Danny, than friendship, there was a kind of brotherly love, hidden within.
Hearing the close of his suitcase, jarred Don from his thought's. "Danny....listen, I have to let you know something before you leave, there are reason's I need you to stay". "Come on Don....you don't need me, no one does, I'm no good". Pushing Don away from the door, Danny left.
"Go after him you idiot", Don said to himself, Now!!! Running down the stair's, Don seen Danny take off on his bike. "Damn it....slamming his car door, Don began to chase him down the streets of NY.
