Danny laughed  at that.  Of course  his mother  wouldn’t stop talking about Louie. It didn’t escape him that she was hoping they’d use  his brother’s name  for  their second child. “Yeah, yeah, it means a lot to me. But  only if you like the name.  We don’t  have  to  use  my brother’s  name  if  you don’t  like it.”

“I like Louie. I wouldn’t suggest it if I didn’t,” Lindsay assured  Danny. “I want our son to be named after your brother.” She  knew he wanted it, his mother wanted it, and the name Louie  was a nice name. Lindsay pressed a kiss on Danny’s cheek  before she rested her head against his shoulder. “We’re  having a boy..” She still couldn’t believe it. 

“Well her name is Jo. Yes Jo Danville she is amazing I swear it was love from first glance. I just don’t want to mess this up Linds she’s not just any nurse after all.”

“Jo? Our Jo? I never realised.. Of course I’ll  help you but you must know that I won’t sugar  coat what might happen.”

“No, that’s a completely different thing entirely. He just needed to watch the guy.” Toby took a deep breath to calm himself. This whole situation wasn’t her fault. But she really wasn’t helping his mood by doubting him earlier. “Sorry. Yeah. Sure.” He grabbed his radio and ordered the rookie to stay with the rig and not go anywhere until he returned before following the CSI. “He’s heading that way the last time I saw him.” He pointed at a direction.

Lindsay honestly didn’t feel like arguing with a paramedic while having a crime scene to process. But since they had no witnesses on the shooting yet, the guy that got away might be their best shot to finding the killer. She decided to leave the matter of his rookie, it wasn’t something she was able to comment on anyway. “Then we go that way,” Lindsay said before starting to walk in the direction he had given her. She wouldn’t have much time to spend looking for this witness, they’d have to hurry up and other wise, she’d have to ask the paramedic to go and see a sketch artist.

“I just…he and I had a…disagreement a little while ago, and he made it very clear we don’t have the sort of relationship where we share things about our personal life. What’s going on with me today…it has to do with my sister, and much as I love him, I don’t think I can take any kicking while I’m down.”

“It’s okay, I’ll tell him. Will you be all right? If you need anyone  to talk to about what’s going on, you can always come to me,  you know that right? We can go out and have some dinner or  you could come over to my place for dinner.”

“No,  I don’t know  where  his hangouts  are.  I’m  not  sure any  of  us  knows.   He’s  not  your  usual  criminal.   When I said,  he’s smart,  I  mean  he’s smart.  He  has  high  IQ.” One  that  gave  him  a headache  when Toby  tried to read him. “Yeah.  Now that he got what he wanted,  we’re kinda hoping  he left  something  behind  that  would  tell us  if he has any other business to deal with here in New York. That would give us a chance to catch up to him.”

“I’ll triple check everything that comes back from the scene.  Dr Hawkes and Detective Messer are still processing the  scene at this moment, I just came back with the fingerprints  right away,” Lindsay explained. There must be at least  something besides the man’s fingerprints that he left at the  scene, even if he was as smart as the consultant told her.  “But you have no idea what he might be up to next? I’m just  trying assure that I understand you correctly in order to know  what to focus on. At this point everything can be suspicious  and if you’d have the slightest clue it’d be helpful.”

“Yeah, yeah. He’s wearing a long jacket, black hair, about my height, about 140lbs, and would most likely still unsteady on his feet. I don’t know if he’s injured or not.” Toby rubbed his face with one of his hand, seriously frustrated and annoyed at the situation. “Yeah, he’s a rookie. And before you say anything, I was only gone for less than a minute, to grab the kit from the ambulance. He just had to watch the guy for 30 seconds. Unbelievable.”

“I wasn’t going to say anything. You gotta start trusting your rookie  at some point, now you know he wasn’t ready. If the guy really  wanted to say something about the shooting, he wouldn’t have run,”  Lindsay commented, the last thing she needed was the paramedic  blaming himself for losing the guy. He had been a patient and even  those are still free to leave whenever they want, they can refuse to  be helped. “We’ll find the guy.” She started walking through the crowd,  expecting the paramedic to follow her and tell her when he spotted  the guy. 

“What did it say?” If it was something including him then his cover was blown. And it was a matter of time before he got a bullet to the cranium. For the moment he’d assume he wasn’t blown. “I’ll get them later. Right now they don’t have you which is a good thing.” He would be tasked with getting rid of the evidence. But right now she was the priority. He led her through a small hallway outside to the car LAPD had given him.

“I’m working on a case, three dead bodies in the last 24 hours and they’re connected but we have no evidence on the killer, nothing. This person told me I’d get answers here, told me to come alone.” The last sentence was mumbled, she felt ridiculous to have come by herself without any back up. If it hadn’t been for Deeks being here, she would’ve been dead. “It didn’t say anything about you.” She was right on his heels, never more than one step behind him as she followed him to his car. She had to get out of there but she was putting both of them at risk.

“I have to go in Lindsay what if she is alive?! I can’t just wait here and do nothing! I will be fine I promise.”

“No you didn’t have to! The fire department was  right behind you! They would’ve found her! You  didn’t have to go in yourself!”

His voice was controlled. Lindsey was toeing the line of his past. And while he spoke a lot there wasn’t much he gave away. He grinned at her despite the slight feeling of anxiety over his past being revealed to her.

“You know, I think I know a good store for fluffy toys.”

“I Don’t care if you think its ridiculous because your in. You won’t regret this Linds I promise you!” Don said as he hugged her tightly.

 Lindsay chuckled when he hugged her. “So who’s the  lucky lady you are getting yourself in all this trouble for?  Is there anyone in particular? I suppose so, since you  never needed help getting the numbers of those nurses.” 

       ‘ I  w o u l d  n o t  take one more step, I never miss. ‘

 Lindsay had just placed her kit on the floor when she heard a  voice behind her. Her hands slowly moved up as she turned  around. “This must be a terrible misunderstanding. I’m Lindsay  Messer, I’m with the DC Crime Lab,” Lindsay started after she  quickly studied the woman. She’d been told someone would be  waiting for her, this she hadn’t expected. She remembered the  woman’s face from the files she’d been given. “You’re special  agent David, am I correct? I’m going to reach for my badge now.”  Her right hand slowly lowered to move her jacket and cardigan,  showing the badge attached to the waist of her pants.

“This  guy  is  a special  circumstances  for  Elphrenson. Harrow  killed  his daughter.”  Toby told her.  He moved back a step and put his hands inside his jacket pockets at  her question.  “Your boss probably  has the file.  My partner went to talk to him. They won’t let me carry the file. Technically, I’m not a cop.”

“Killed his daughter? No wonder Elphrenson came after  him,” Lindsay commented. She was almost positive it’d  take a lot from her not to do the same. “Is there anything  else you can tell me about this guy? What his usual  hangouts were? Maybe we can find him at a similar one.  Although, I’m afraid you’ll probably have to tell it twice. I  most likely won’t be the one helping you guys chase after  him. This is the first time he turned to murder right?”

“I’m sorry I used a bad word mommy I won’t again. Let’s focus on the ice cream! Well daddy seemed serious… I told him no. So I can even be a princess?” Lucy asked as the pair headed out of the school building.

“Good. Daddy would talk to Mac to offer you a job only  if you wanted to, honey. It’d be your choice. You’re  already our little princess, sweetheart,” Lindsay led  Lucy towards the ice cream shop. “I thought you just  said you wanted to be a vet?”
