CSI New York Episode II Season 10

EPISODE II: IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL DAY

Danny was hesitant to enter the building the Crime Lab that morning "Mac is already in office for almost three hours, waiting to collect his prize. I’ve shunned him for a week, but now I have to face him! Adam cursed and damned Flack! "

He was standing there still and motionless at the building entrance, sitting on the chair at the bar of the opposite pavement, when a female voice called him "Danny!"

Immediately the detective stood up surprised and with a smile to thirty-six teeth he said, "Stella!"

The two embraced, "How much time has passed!" Said Danny

"A few months but it’s still too much!" Stella said enthusiastic "How is Mac? What about Christine?" She asked smiling rearranging the curls.

"Wow, how many questions at once! Er ... they're fine! You know, when you get married the first time is always nice! " Danny said "What are you doing here?" he asked then

"I'm here on vacation! I thought to spend some time with you! "

"That's great! It will be nice to have you here! Mac knows it?" Danny asked, surprised and delighted by the news as soon as received

"Yes, I called him personally!"

"Then you already know the whole story, the fact that I had a son and that Lindsay and I called him Sid in honor of our dearest friend, because ..."

"That you had had a son I knew it! Not that I had called him Sid! What's happening to Sid?" she said changing her look and sitting down on one of the chairs at the bar "You'd better to tell me everything!"

"All right! Only if you give me a hand with Mac!" said Danny in front of her

"What's this? A blackmail?" she said looking him in a sinister way

"No!" Danny laughed tastily then return suddenly serious "But a big favor!"

Jo looked at Sid motionless near a cadaver that he was examining, with a sad expression on his face, she approached softly "Hey!"

"Hey!" he replied "Why do you have that sad look?"

"It's the same look as you do now!" she smiled briefly with the tears that were running on the cheeks

"No, don’t cry! You make me regret having canceled my resign!" he said hugging her

"You told me yesterday on the phone that you've told it to Mac. How did he get it?"

"There should have been someone who had filmed the scene and had put it on YouTube!" Sid smiled. Jo stared at him uncomprehendingly "It doesn’t happen every day to see a grown man like him crying!" the pathologist laughed loudly

"He's been passed a lot yesterday! Too much even for someone like him! "

"You know, it's nice when there isn’t new work to attend to! Tell me about what is happening to the Mac, but especially to you, while I’m tidying the morgue! Are the rumors that I heard true? " he asked putting the corpse in the freezer

"All right! Let's start with the facts of yesterday, that is Mac, and then move on to the updates of today, that is me!" Jo smiled.

Adam was sitting at the computer tapping his lips with the cap of a pen and typed Google the word "gift". Whether, he was undecided to press enter, he looked at the screen and he began to nibble at the pen. Suddenly he remembered an episode like that happened months before: Sheldon had noticed him and sat beside him on the chair making him wince "Then you really care to have a body to examine even when there aren’t murders Hawkes!" Adam had said breathing heavily "I risked a heart attack!"

"Sorry!" his friend had smiled "Not for me mind your own business, to whom are you doing the gift?"

"Two days left, and I do not have anything yet!"

"Let me understand, you are searching on the one of the most popular search engines a gift for the wedding?" Adam nodded and Sheldon sighed "There is a thing called -wedding list- "

"But if there has never been one because Mac didn’t want it!" Adam had pronounced

"Christine has been good to change his mind two weeks ago!" Sheldon had smiled "You better hurry to consult it because I'm afraid that the best gifts have already been taken" he had stood up to return to work "You know that friends, in general, are those who consult the list first to make the best gift, don’t you?"

Adam had gulped heavily imagining Mac opening his gift: an electric can opener. He then shook his head to clear the image from his mind “ Would you give it to me please? "

"Consider it done! Look next to you!" Adam had smiled seeing the key of Sheldon’s cabinet

"I'd kiss you, but I'm not gay!"

Sheldon was shivered "Hurry up, before I change my mind!"

Returning to the present, Adam laughed attracting the attention of various laboratory technicians.

Stella and Danny were getting closer to the office of Mac and they were been sighted by Lindsay "Stella! When did you arrive?" she greeted her warmly

"Today!" she said while they were embracing "Danny told me that you called tiny Messer Sid!" she said looking at her

"Exactly!" she said smiling "Were you going to Mac?"

"Yes, it seems that Danny has bet one hundred dollars, but, of course, he doesn’t have them!" she smiled

"So you’re being called to replace the price of the bet!" Lindsay concluded

"But she worthier than a hundred dollars, be careful!" Danny smiled by subtracting Stella to the conversation "It’s better to hurry up!"

Danny stopped a few meters away from the office "I'll turn Mac on this side and as soon as he sees you come in”

"If he hasn’t seen me yet!" the woman said smiling.

Danny slowly walked to the office, Mac was holding his tablet and he seemed a lot concentrated, he braced himself and knocked on the glass door. Mac put the tablet on the desk and let him in "Look who you do see! Am I wrong or there are a hundred dollars in suspense? "

"Yes, I'm here for the bet but ..." he looked for an instant to touch-screen and a smile crossed his face "I didn’t know that you have fun with games for children in your spare time!"

Mac became gloomy "These are not games for children, Danny!"

"I only know that Lucy makes them to learn new words but she is no longer at these levels!" he said indicating the object on the desk

"Do you want the kick in the backside before or after have given me the money?" Mac said with a cold stare and a calm tone of voice

"Speaking of money! Since that I haven’t them, I brought you another thing: watch out there! " he said pointing over the glass walls of the office.

Mac brightened up seeing the face of Stella and bad moods passed "Danny, we're good with the bet, but don’t say a word to anyone about what you've seen here today!" he said indicating the tablet

Danny nodded and left, opening the door and he hugged Stella halfway down the corridor whispering in her ear "Thank you!"

"Danny of anything!"

"I just discovered that Mac has a problem with the names of things and he does not want anyone to know it. Try to understand what is due to!" the man said, moving away and going toward the lab.

Stella hugged Mac that had already come to meet in the corridor "Only few months are passed, but it seems much more!"

"True, Mac!" she said watching him and immediately became serious "Mac we need to talk, in your office!" he did not know what to say, he shrugged his shoulders and he replied in a natural way “All right!”

They went into the office and they sat down at the desk "Are you okay?" she asked

"I’m very well!" he said nodding

"You're a bit clumsy in your movements, did you noticed that?"

"No!" he said looking into her eyes

"It doesn’t go through your mind that this could be a condition linked to the fact that you were shot?"

"Another time with this story?" Mac became gloomy

"Danny just told me you're doing exercises to remember the names of common objects.» Mac inclined an eyebrow without taking his eyes off from Stella that she sentenced "You are suffering of aphasia since you recovered from the shooting! Isn’t it? "

"Yes, and I am improving! It’s much better than before! The doctor says that in my case I'll have a full recovery!"

Stella looked at him in a sign challenge "Write to me how the accident occurred!" Mac was dumbfounded and he looked at her surprised "What? Don’t tell me you do not know how to do!" Mac took a paper and a pen and wrote a few lines and he handed it to Stella "Like I thought! No articles! And from when you say      -are I entered in pharmacy-? " she said critics “What you are you going to do the next time they’ll ask you to write a report? You can’t always delegate it to the others!"

Mac looked at her slightly irritated "You came here just to lecture me?"

"No Mac! I'm here because I care about you! In addition to suffer from aphasia, it is clear that you suffer from also a form of apraxia and it is normal that you do not you know it! If it gets any worse you will no longer do your job do you understand it?" she said with a tone of determination "Do you remember when two days before the wedding I arrived in town and I asked you to tell me about your accident? "

"Yes. The tone of discussion became very similar to this!" said Mac mindful of the events: that time, a doctor broke the tension knocking on the door of Mac "As you requested Detective. However, the next time you have to wait for the normal timing of the hospital " he said handing him an envelope and leaving.

Stella had seen the name printed on it "Why your future wife did the analysis?" she asked calming down

"Yesterday she was to the hospital for food poisoning and for a scruple they have done other tests to her!" The Detective said placing the envelope on the desk

"Do not you read the report?" Stella had asked

"Why should I?"

"If I were Christine and there was something wrong I'd rather hear it from you and not from a piece of paper!" she had said.

Mac had taken the envelope in his hands and had opened it, explaining the sheets of the analysis. He had surpassed the first without any sign of concern, at the last he had widened his eyes and he had become pale "It wasn’t food poisoning!" he said short of breath and staring at the paper as though in a trance.

Stella had shown immediately worried "So, what was it?"

That morning Flack had arrested a couple of thieves. His turn had just finished and set to Jaime he allowed himself a well-deserved lunch break

"It's nice when no one kills anyone!" he said sipping his beer sitting on the bench in the park

"There is more time for us" she agreed biting the burger in his hand "It's been a lot that  I don’t eat a sandwich at McDonald's!"

"I did it only because the nearest place was closed! Those things don’t make me crazy!" Flack muttered looking angrily at lunch fiancée

"Is that why you have taken the salad?" she said by throwing a balled napkin

"Do you want the war Lovato?" he said with a crooked smile "And you'll have war!" he balled up a couple of napkins and threw them to him against her.

Stella had left the laboratory and in the afternoon she had gone to greet Sid "Sid! My favorite pathologist" she said hugging him

"Stella! I'm so glad to see you!" he smiled hugging her "You could take the holiday a few days after! You have no idea of what Mac's birthday you missed last year! I made him drunk and I convinced him to play golf with me on the roof of our building! He broke a glass and they shouted that they would have reported us to the police" he laughed heartily "And Mac shouted  -I am the police-. Even Christine couldn’t stop laughing! This year I wanted him to do something doubly embarrassing! "

"Why didn’t you tell me anything about your illness? I'd have been closer to you!" Stellla said

"Because I didn’t want someone else would suffered for me! Mac came to know that officially last week and it was hard to accept even for him!" said Sid watching Jo get in "Good morning! We were just talking about the birthday ...”

"Oh my God! Mac drunk is the craziest scene I've ever seen!" she said coming up to Stella "I'm glad to see you!" she said kissing her "Coffee? "

"With pleasure!"

"Sid, do you come with us?" Jo asked

"No, I have to finish here ..." he said smiling "See you tonight for a beer!"

Jo and Stella were sitting at the bar smiling "Do you remember when Mac has anticipated the wedding to the day before?" Jo asked

"Yes! Someone were in crisis because they wouldn’t be able to come, including the relatives of Christine" said Stella

"The priest and his urgent commitment which occupied it for several days and so, rather than getting married in April, Mac had said -tomorrow is perfect! - ” Jo was folded in two by the laughter" You had to see him! He was organizing the wedding reception and everything in between on his mobile phone by giving orders to the chefs of Christine!" she said laughing resting on the table in the bar, Stella laughed with her

"And do you remember the face of the Mac? He seemed to be on a different planet!" Stella said

"And it was in that moment that we began to understand the reason why" Jo said stopping to laugh.

Danny complained to Lindsay as they prepared to leave the lab, it was evening by now.

"Spend the day to tidy up old cases! But how does one? "

"No action, but we can say that date has been a different day!" his wife said pulling on his jacket "Today I am very happy to go home!"

"You know where Mac is gone? I wanted to talk to him!" Danny said crossing the corridor next to her

"He has to make it a missed lunch by Christine!" Lindsay said calling the lift "When was the last time you took me out for dinner?"

"Ah ... I don’t remember!" he said going into the lift "Maybe in two days we could tell Rosita to take care of the kids or we could ask to my mother!"

"It is better if we ask to Rosita!" Lindsay said firmly as the lift closed.

Mac arrived at the restaurant of Christine, he saw her in the doorway smiling "Hello Christine!" he greeted her by kissing her

"It had been months that you didn’t come to take me after work"

"Do you remember the last time I came here?"

"How can I forget it?" she smiled remembering it: Christine was frown at the entrance of the restaurant "Now explain to me ..." she had said to Mac, pulling him in for his coat sleeve "... what's all this!" she said pointing to the chefs handling with dishes of all kinds

"The priest has a commitment and we could get married tomorrow or next month!" said Mac

"Well a nice unexpected episode! But we have a life to spend together Mac! In addition our relatives there will never be all here! So what if we get married in a month?! "Christine had asked leaning on a chair with her hands

"A lot!" Mac said taking out the envelope of the analysis "These would come to you in three weeks. They are not all the tests they did to you, but here is already clear from the situation!" he had given them to him kindly

"Have you read them? Why did you do that?" she said moving away from the chair

"I was worried and wanted to understand what had happened to you” Mac had taken the hands of Christine before she could open the envelope "and it isn’t food poisoning!"

"What have I got then?" She gasped worried as Mac get sat

"Have you ever considered the possibility of being more than us after the wedding?" he said making her sit on his lap

"I thought about it a bit but ..." she replied settling

"But?"

"What are you trying to tell me?" she asked him trembling

"That since two weeks we are three!" Mac replied kissing her sweetly on the cheek "And I can’t be happier than this!"

Christine had taken Mac's face and she kissed him intensely "A kid?" she said moving away surprised, Mac nodded, "I don’t believe it!" she told by kissing him again.

Mac had kissed Christine pulling her closer to him "We will have a lot to do henceforth!" he had whispered detaching himself

"We already knew that we would not have had the honeymoon!" she smiled kissing him fleetingly and moving away from his face

"I was thinking of ask for an increase!" Mac had mentioned by chasing her "So we will do less effort!" and he was able to kiss her again.

"However, my parents could give us a hand, since they are in New York!" Christine had whispered leaning her head in the crook between the shoulder and neck of Mac

"I can’t think anything now! You continue to be the only one in my thoughts!" he said closing his eyes and reclining his cheek on her head.

Stella had entered in the restaurant with Jo and behind them there were all the other "So Mac, did you tell that to her?" the woman with the curls smiled.

Mac and Christine had barred them eyes and they had recomposed at the view of their friends

"They all came here to congratulate with you after having received the news" Jo added

"Stella!" Mac said surprised "I can’t believe it! You said that to all of them!"

"It was word of mouth ..." Danny said moving closer to couple with Lindsay, who was still pregnant "Congratulations! We have learned that from Sheldon, who had known it from Jo, because Stella told it to her! "

"Then Lindsay told me that as they left the parking lot! But this doesn’t let us run the traditions!" Flack said

" Get ready Mac! Now you are coming with us while the girls are taking care of Christine!" Sid exclaimed.

Mac smiled and he hold tight Christine hugging her sweetly "No exceptions?" he had asked

"Falck take the handcuffs!" Sheldon had exclaimed jokingly

"We take him by force!"  Adam grinned

Mac laughed and he kissed Christine whispering "See you tomorrow upon the altar!"

"I remind you that you have to be there before me!"

"But you haven’t to be late!" he told her with one last kiss

she laughed, standing up,"All right girls, what did you think to do?"

Mac had been dragged away by the male members of his team to a bar while his eyes had crossed one last time Christine's ones.

Christine laughed "Do you realize that we are already at the beginning of October?"

"Really? Sorry, but when it’s over the summer?" he asked smiling and calling a taxi.

Millie Taylor went into the house and she found a message on the fridge from Mac: -We’re out for dinner ! Don’t worry we’ll be home at 10 p.m.- She smiled and picked up the ticket "What do you have to be forgiven for this time?" and she remembered the day of the of his son’s wedding: 30^th March, Mac opened his eyes reluctantly shaken on the right shoulder by his mother "Mac wake up!" In response he had emitted a moan bringing his hands to his face and crouching against the back of the couch.

"Mac! Two hours!" her mother had shouted at him while she was walking away toward the kitchen.

The Detective had sat down and he had appealed to his strength to drag himself to the bathroom and get under the shower. The hot water seemed to be able to reinvigorate him a little and the coffee had done the rest.

When he had opened the closet and he had taken the dress, he had smiled at the thought of having to wear it.

"Mac! At what point are you? "Millie had ranted that she had already put on a gray silk dress and she was stopping at the door of the room " You aren’t dressed yet?!” Mac shook his head with embarrassment "And you don’t even dried your hair!" she had continued undaunted. He was distinctly uneasy with his mother around the house, he was no longer accustomed to that presence who made ​​his observations for the least thing like before he had enlisted in the Marine Corps.

"I'll be ready in fifteen minutes!" He concluded hastily putting on his shirt.

To Millie hadn’t escaped the singulars accessories of his son: the badge of NYPD on his belt and a revolver under his pants secured to the right shin “Are you getting married or are you going into the war, Mac?"

"I have learned that it is better to be ready for everything Mom!" Mac smiled rubbing the towel with energy in the hair.

Mac looked at Christine who smiled amused "I envy you, you know? I would like to drink that glass of wine in your place, you're pretty much disgusted by it!"

"The idea of the Italian restaurant was excellent! However, I will choose the wine the next time!"

"I reiterate that one of the best wines for the roast of veal with potatoes is Chianti!" Christine smiled

"Do you remember our cheers at the wedding?" Mac asked

"What embarrassing scene! Me with orange juice and you with champagne!" she picked up her fork to her left and began to eat the green beans "I still wonder how did you organize it all!"

"Instead I'd like you to know how that day started!" and he got ready to tell: in front of the Metropolitan Cathedral of St. Patrick as there was a great gathering made up of friends and relatives well-dressed. By a taxi just arrived, Mac had come down followed by the mother.

"It was the time you arrived Mac!" Danny had screamed holding Lucy

"Mac!" the little girl had cried wriggling and stretching her arms to the Detective in a tux

"Hello Lucy!" Mac had greeted her taking her in his arms "What a beautiful pink dress!"

"You like it? I bought it with mom, "the girl had said smiling

"You look like a princess!" Mac had whispered in her ear releasing her to her father, she had had time to lean out one last time to him and to give him a kiss on the cheek

"Where did you leave Lindsay?" Mac had asked to Danny by looking around

"With the other bridesmaids!" Danny said pointing to Jo, Lindsay and a red-haired girl who did not know Mac. She was staring at him in the same way that you shall set a thief. She was very young, she couldn’t be just a friend of Christine. To continue to stare like that wasn’t polite but none of them would be the first to surround himself or herself at the challenging look of the other.

Millie had put a hand on his son's shoulder to call up his attention: even Reed was coming "Claire's son has arrived!"

Mac would have had later to learn more about the mysterious girl, at the time he had something more important to do "Reed! Hello!" he had started laying a hand on his shoulder "How are you? "

"I'm fine Mac!" he had said hugging him "How do you feel before the wedding?" he asked changing the subject

"I'd say I'm nervous, but I'm trying to remain calm!" he had sighed "But you have them right? Haven’t you lost them along the way?"

"I'd never forgive myself if I lost the rings! For what you mean to me, it was an honor keeping them!" the twenty nine year old boy had laughed "Do you trust or you want to see them?"

"I take your word!"

Between the last people had arrived, Mac had seen Stella in a beautiful blue silk dress that fell up to sub the knees, with a slit up to the middle of the right thigh and adorned with a silver band at the waist "Do you know who brings the wedding rings to the altar true?" Mac had asked the stepson nodded in sign of response  “Well, go!"

Stella had approached Mac and hugged him "How lucky you are Mac!" she had said in his ear "I just needed to spend one night with Christine to worship! She will be a perfect wife and a perfect mother and you'll come back to be officially Mac Taylor I knew once! "

"You're wishing me to get back to be the Mac who reasoned even a little with the heart and not just with the brain?" he asked with a smile "Let’s get in!" said climbing the steps.

The guests had taken place in the church and Mac was with Flack and Stella before the altar.

Lindsay, the red-haired mysterious girl, Jo and Jamie had remained at the church square, waiting for the car with Christine, which had arrived on time, it was black with darkened windows. While the bride was coming down she had started ask "Am I late?"

"You're punctual!" Jo had exclaimed

"But now go and prepare yourself to enter!" Jamie had incited her "The church is full! Almost all the police corps have come! "

Christine had took a step at a time, afraid, on the stairs

"Hello!" the red-haired girl greeted her affectionately on the top of the ramp

"Are you a friend of the Mac?"

"Yes, a sort!" she said offering her hand "Who will accompany you up to the altar?"

"Me" a male voice exclaimed behind her.

Christine had turned suddenly and smiled "Uncle Max! You managed to come! " beside him there were the parents of Christine who had smiled "Darling you're beautiful!" her mother had said to her

"You don’t know what a hard work we did for making your uncle arrive on time from Miami!" her father said

"I was too excited by the possibility of making the third grade again at the famous Detective that I didn’t resist! In addition, since the rest of the family wasn’t able to come because of the last minute anticipation, it was right there that I'd be here!" the huge man with beard and pearl-colored hair and golden glasses had explained, handing her his arm "Ready? It is still not late to go back and escape! "

"Stop it! I'm already afraid to fall!" she had laughed

"I won’t let that happen! I have to keep a promise to your parents!" he winked at her tightening the hand of the arm strapped to his one

"So, we are going in!" Christine's father had smiled taking his wife by the arm and entering the cathedral.

Mac had seen in the intense light at the end of the cathedral the emergence of the figures of Christine's parents, they had taken place near Millie, soon after, he had begun to catch a glimpse of the bridesmaids that were advancing "Here we are Mac!" Flack had whispered to him

"Don, I’m nervous!”

"From your face you would not think! You hide your emotions well!" the wedding witness had replied

"Be quiet Don!" Stella had called him by crushing his foot with a heel.

The wedding march started, and Christine had begun to advance slowly into the nave. Her blond hair was gathered in an elegant chignon perfectly intertwined with the white veil that left only free a lock that fell soft on her right shoulder. The dress, with simple cut, was made with white silk, a tight corset with wide sleeves "hung up" at the back and a skirt slipped with a little volume. Her accompanist was smiling and he was walking safely next to her, holding her under his arm gently.

Mac still couldn’t see her and even the witnesses to the altar because of the guests who were standing and they were admiring her, taking away their view. As soon as Christine had come close enough to meet the eyes of Mac, she realized that on his face had appeared an expression of surprise. Those were his usual blue eyes but she had never seen them in that way. Those eyes were immensely happy, they did not expect anything of what was happening, they had imagined that moment several times, but they would have never thought it would be that way as well.

The priest had made closer Christine to the altar and her uncle had taken place alongside the parents of Christine in the front row "Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to join this man and this woman in holy matrimony» Mac had held Christine’s hands and he had kept looking at her blue eyes always smiling. "If anyone has any objection speak now or be silent forever!" that was the only moment that Mac had been taken off the look if the bride to peer among the seating positions of the cathedral there was someone ready to ruin that perfect moment.

No one had answered the priest had continued with the ceremony and eventually the final moment had arrived: the little Lucy had walked the short distance that separated the altar from the bench on the front row carrying the wedding rings on a pillow “McKenna Llewellyn Taylor Jr, do you take the here present Christine Whitney, as your wife in order to love her and honor her  in joy and in sorrow, on wealth and in poverty as long as you both have life?"

Danny who had followed Lucy near the altar, finding himself in this manner alongside to Lindsay had whispered to her ear "Did you know the fact his full name was so long?"

"No!" she replied "Stop talking or we will miss the most important moment!"

Mac had hold in his hands the ring "Yes, I do!" now the left ring finger of Christine was also wearing the sign of that promise

“And you, Christine Whitney, do you take the here present McKenna Llewellyn Taylor Jr, as your husband in order to love him and honor him in joy and in sorrow, on wealth and in poverty as long as you both have life?"

Even she had taken the ring in her hands, smiling at the little Lucy "Yes, I do!" she said sliding it onto Mac’s finger.

 "With the power vested in me by God, I now pronounce you husband and wife!" Mac and Christine were looking in the eyes, smiling unable to move. All had remained silent, motionless "Mac! Generally at this point the husband kisses the bride!" Danny had screamed.

Stella and Flack had started to laugh and they were joined by the bridesmaids and the first rows of benches.

Mac, initially embarrassed by the laughs, had leaned  toward Christine kissing her gently on her lips and in that moment the applause of the participants had started with few tears of uncle Max, mother Taylor and the Whintneys.

"Wow!" Mac smiled "By combining our memories we get a comprehensive and overall I'd say it was a beautiful wedding!"

"The after ceremony at the Plaza Hotel was the perfect ending!" Christine said finishing the vegetables "May we pass a second at my restaurant later?"

"Have you to fix you something?" Mac asked "Okay let's go there now!" he said putting down his fork.

Mac was left alone with Christine in her restaurant, everything was clean and tidy and even the cleaning staff had gone home. The dining room was all for them, the door locked, the blinds lowered and the silence reigned between husband and wife who remained motionless, hugging each other on a small sofa.

"We have to begin to think to him or her ..." Mac whispered

"There haven’t even been able to tell the sex because he hides himself! Do you prefer a male or a female?" she whispered in response

"I would like them both! I would like a male and a female! "

"Do you want twins?" Christine asked surprise

"Why not!" he said leaning toward to kiss her, he stopped just before to establish contact with her ​​because of his mobile phone ringing "I'm sorry"

"Work?" she asked

"Yes it is Jo!" he sighed answering "What’s up, Jo?" he nodded listening to the voice of my colleague, "I’m arriving immediately!"

Christine snorted standing up "Ah Mac! You have to take away my a curiosity: the girl with red hair and green dress, who was at our wedding, who is she? "

"I've never seen her before!" he said heading for the door "I thought she was your relative! Evidently, I was wrong! "

"I saw her to the bathroom tonight and she greeted me!" Christine said looking into his eyes. Mac looked at her with a stern expression "Don’t tell me that I have to be careful on the way home!" she said by anticipating him

"You will do much more than this: you’ll get out of here with me, I'll take you home to my mother and every quarter of an hour you will write a message!"

They got into the car and, before starting the engine, Mac looked around suspiciously.

At home Mac put his jacket and took off his pants and the shirt to wear a t-shirt and pants more comfortable, that was when Christine saw the gun that he had hidden to the ankle "You had it for the whole evening?”

"I don’t leave home without a weapon from my discharge by the Marines Corps!" Mac said removing it from himself "Since we are in the theme, I had it also on the wedding day!" he had put the usual policeman's gun to his belt  “I prefer you keep this!" he said by passing the revolver in the hands of his wife "It may always be useful!" he said onto the way to the door "Take care of each other and every fifteen minutes make yourself heard!" the two women nodded "I love you both!" Mac said leaving.

At the crime scene there was a great turmoil, it was the home of a sixteen year old girl who has her parents out of town and in the basement was found a cadaver with several bruises on the body.

Jo and Stella greeted Mac and they accompanied him in the basement where, even Hawkes covered their mouth and nose with a handkerchief. The pungent smell enveloped the entire room but it did not seem to center directly with the cadaver.

"Gasoline, alcohol, vanilla ... but what they did here?"

"You skipped two smells Stella blood and dead body!" Mac concluded coming up to Hawkes "What can you tell me?"

"These are definitely bite marks and Mac as you see our victim has no clothes"

"One thing rather unusual!" Jo said

"How strange that the man who is freshly dead comes from New Orleans!" Stella said "Robert Lewis. I'm looking for him by nearly two weeks! He’s guilty of a murder and now he has become the victim! "

"Gasoline, alcohol, vanilla ... but what they did here?"

"You skipped two smells Stella blood and dead body!" Concluded Mac coming up to Hawkes "What can you tell me?"

"These are definitely bite marks and Mac as you see our victim has no clothes"

"One thing rather unusual!" Said Jo

"How strange that the man who is freshly dead is in New Orleans!" Said Stella "Robert Lewis. I'm looking for nearly two weeks! Is guilty of a murder and now he has become the victim! "

"Who goes around comes around!" Mac ruled "I think that we will work with you Stella, call some of your people and tell them to join us here in the city!"

Stella went out with her mobile phone in her hands "Goodbye holiday"

"I guess that Christine wasn’t very happy to see you disappear just when you had offered her a romantic evening!" Hawkes smiled

"No, indeed!"

Mac’s mobile phone rang in that moment and on the display appeared a message: "Hey! How's the job? There is nothing wrong here. I won’t deny that I would be more quiet if you were at home with us! Kiss! "

Then another message came from an unknown number: "I know what happened in Beirut in 1983! Now I want someone to pay and you must help me! "

"Are you okay Mac?" Hawkes asked

"Not at all!" he ruled looking anxiously at his colleagues.
