“All right, thanks Don,” Danny said and hung up. He took his jacket and made sure Lindsay was still sleeping. Then he was about to leave the apartment as he heard her calling his name. He turned and went back to her side.
“Hey sweetheart,” he said and caressed her cheek. “Thought you were still sleeping.”
“You wanted to leave?” she asked.
Danny nodded. “I wanted to go to the lab, just in case if there are any news about Peanut.”
“You wanted to leave without me?” she asked again, her voice scared like she was about to lose him, too. She held onto his hand. Danny stroked her hair.
“I’m so sorry. I know I should have woken you, but I didn’t want to. Please forgive me.” Lindsay nodded. He kissed her forehead and got up.
“I’ll call you if they find anything,” she nodded again. She got up and sat on the couch, the blanket still around her and Emily’s stuffed horse in her arms, she tried to smile. Danny smiled back at her and nodded.
“We’ll find her,” he said and went to the door. Lindsay sighed and looked out of the window.

As Danny entered the lab he went straight to Mac’s office. He didn’t even notice the looks he got as he passed the corridor. Stella and Hawkes were looking up from the evidences they’ve found in Danny’s and Lindsay’s apartment and car. They gave each other a pity look and sighed.
Danny stopped in front of Mac's office as he saw his boss reading some case files.
As he saw Mac looking up at him he started his way into Mac's office again. He nodded slightly and entered the office.
"Mac, do you have a sec?" he asked.
"Danny," Mac said. "What are you doing here? Come in."
“You got something yet?” Danny asked straight away. Mac shook his head.
“No, Stella and Hawkes are still working on the evidences we’ve found in Lindsay’s car.”
Danny nodded. “Okay,” he whispered.
“How is Lindsay?” Mac asked.
“She’s scared… what do you think?! How would you feel?” Danny’s voice rose. He was angry, not only angry at the one who’d taken his daughter and hurt Lindsay; he was also angry at himself. On their wedding day he’d sworn that he would do all in his power to protect Lindsay and his family, but he’d failed. Danny leaned his body on the back of the chair in front of him. “I’m sorry, Mac. It’s just… she’s scared, Mac. She’s scared she could lose me, too.”
“Hey Danny, it’s okay.”
Danny’s cell phone buzzed. He put it out of his pocket and looked at the display. There was no Caller ID. A little confused he answered the call.
“Messer?”
“Well, hello daddy.”
“Who is this?”
“You don’t need to know, yet.”
“What do you want?” Danny’s anger rose. He pointed one finger to his cell phone to show Mac that he needed to track the caller.
Soon as Mac noticed it, he was on his way to get someone to trace the call. Danny was listening carefully, listening to something familiar. He turned in search for Mac. He caught him with his eyes and noticed that Mac had a cell phone at his ear as well. He looked in Danny’s direction and nodded, which meant that they’d begin the search. Danny sighed. Hopefully he was able to put off the guy until they’d traced him.
“Oh nothing… in fact I have all I needed. Your daughter is really a lovely little girl.”
“Don’t you dare to touch her!” Danny let his hand fall down on the table. His anger was unbearable.
“It depends all on you, my friend.”
“What do ya want from me? Why her? Why Emily?”
“Cause I want you to be torn apart! You have to pay for the things you’ve done. I will destroy you, Messer! You and your family.”
“Keep Emily and Lindsay out of this!”
“I’m sorry, but I cannot do this. You know … you destroyed my family, I will destroy yours.”
“At least, let me hear her.”
“I’m sorry, I cannot do that.”
“Why? Is she alright?” Danny asked scared. God, all what he wanted was to hold his daughter back in his arms. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
“She is. But it would break my heart if I would have to wake her up right now. She’s such an angel. And in fact I cannot imagine that you’re her father.”
“Believe me, I am.” Danny said a little bit satisfied.
“Well Messer as much as I enjoy our little talk here… I have to go. Will talk to you soon,” he hung up.
Danny turned immediately to ask Mac with his eyes if they caught the guy. Mac asked his lab techs. By the look he gave Danny, he knew that the whole thing wasn’t successful. Raged he threw his cell phone through the room so that it smashed on the floor.
“Damn it!” he screamed and slipped to the floor. He put his head into his hands. Mac had re-entered his office and was now at Danny’s side.
“I’m sorry,” he said.
“Why her, Mac?” he looked his boss in the eyes. Mac saw that his eyes were filled with tears. He touched Danny’s head.
“I don’t know. Is there someone you have still some scores to settle? Maybe someone from your past?” Danny looked confused. He shook his head.
“No. At least no-one I can think of. Mac, for Lindsay’s and Emily’s sake… we have to find this guy.”
Mac nodded. “We will.”

“Hey Danny,” Stella said and hugged him. “How are you?”
He shrugged. Stella stroked his back.
“What you got so far?” Danny asked.
“Well…” she said. “We have some hairs from Emily’s seat.”
“Any matches?”
“None so far, but we keep searching.”
Danny sighed.
“I’ll keep an eye on them. If I’ve found something I’ll call you immediately.”
“Thanks Stell.”
Stella smiled. “Is Lindsay at home?” Danny nodded.
“I told her that she needs to get some rest. The whole thing bothers her a lot.“
“You want me to check on her sometime?“ Hawkes asked.
Danny nodded. “To tell the truth I’m really scared about her. When I’ve left to come over here, she held onto me as if she thought she would lose me, too. It would be great, if you could check on her this evening. You can come with me, when I leave the lab later.”
“Okay” Hawkes said.
“Also… we’ve found some prints on the inside of the window in your bedroom and these are definitely not yours or Lindsay’s. We’re checkin’ them.”
“I don’t understand,” Danny shook his head. “Emily was taken out of Lindsay’s car. Why did you find some prints in our bedroom?”
“I’d hoped you could tell me.”
“No, there was no one in our apartment. At least no one I can think of. Well…” Danny made a gesture. “…you guys were, but I don’t think that you touched anything without wearing gloves,” he said. “What the hell is going on here? Everything’s going so wrong,” he sighed and shook his head.
“We’ll figure it out, Danny,” Stella said and laid her hand on his back. Danny looked into her eyes. “You should go back to Lindsay,” she nodded.
“And then what? I need to do something. I just can’t sit home and wait ‘til you’ve found something. It’s my daughter we’re talking about,” Danny shook his head.
“I know, Danny. I know this is hard for ya and for Lindsay. Lindsay needs ya at her side now. You have to go home to her,” Stella said. “Please Danny, go home,” she stroked his back.
“Stell…” he started to complain.
“We’re tellin’ you and Lindsay immediately if we’ve find out something new. I promise,” she nodded.
