CSI New York Episode XVIII Season 10

EPISODE XVIII: I'LL FIND YOU SOMEWHERE

Christine looked at Adam watching the twins sleep in cots and she came up to him with a smile

"Are you sure you're okay?"

"Yes, Christine! Thank you for asking!" he looked at Faith agitate himself "She’ll wake up soon!"

Christine leaned over the cradle to brush her cheek with his hand "You sleep! Or I’ll have to wake up daddy!"

"In eight months I would have had a son too!"

"Was Stella pregnant?"

Adam nodded "It should have been called Cleo Daphne, if it was a girl, and Ares, if it was a boy!"

Christine took his hand "Why didn’t you stay in New Orleans?"

"I couldn’t!" said Adam "Everything in New Orleans speaks to me about Stella and I cannot stand it! She is gone and it makes me sick!"

Christine looked at Faith fidgeting and opening her eyes "Should you take her in your arms, do you?"

"What?"

"Please! It is the first time that I see Mac sleep since you’ve got back from New Orleans!"

Not far away, in the streets Manhattan’s downtown, a couple of guys was wandering holding a newspaper

"Are you sure about the risk that we're going to run?" said the first

The second laughed mocking hidden in the shadows "One of our brother informed me that they are twins! He ended up in prison because of their father!"

"For the rite only three pairs of twins are needed! Why we don’t choose others?"

"Because our best chemical, Edward Finch, is in jail and we will avenge him!"

"What exactly will happen to the children?"

"You will see it with your own eyes!"

Jo looked at the two baby cots in a room, empty, trying to detect fingerprints

"Nothing yet?" Sheldon asked her snapping pictures

"Aside from the smell of bleach, we have nothing else! Pass me the Luminol!"

Lindsay and Danny were questioning the parents in the living room

"Gentlemen Robinson, is very important!" Danny pointed out "What do you remember about last night?"

"Valerie got up twice!" the man said

"The children woke up only twice yesterday and I thought they were getting used to sleep through the night!" the woman shivered "Then Ben got up this morning and told me that were no longer there!"

Lindsay looked down and Mrs. Robinson stared into her eyes "You have children, do you?"

Danny answered for her "We have two of them!"

"You're married and you work together?" Mr. Robinson asked and seeing nodding the two added "We know that you will do your best to find them! Please hurry up!"

"The only thing we can say is that those who kidnapped them didn’t do it for a ransom. They would have already contacted you and probably you wouldn’t have called the police!"

Jo looked at Danny and Lindsay and went out into the street with Sheldon

"Let's go! Probably we will find something more if we analyze the pictures!"

Mac's eyes were swollen and his arms were heavy and he was struggling to stand up. He leaned on the bathroom sink and he rinsed his face with cold water. He looked back at himself, he saw tarnished, and yet he had slept for hours, he tried to pick his tie that was over the ground, but to just doing it, he felt dizziness.

In the next room, Christine had his own problem: she could hardly stand up and she began to feel weak and tired. She leaned against the wall and started to breathe heavily.

Adam came home after being out and saw Christine on the ground, he wrinkled his nose and hurried to open the windows

"Christine! Please wake up! Wake up!"

He saw that Mac was trying to get up in the bathroom and he heard him say in a faint voice "The children Adam!"

Adam rushed into the room and saw the empty cradles and window open "Oh shit!" he leaned toward the outside, but he saw nobody "Shit!" he exclaimed a second time picking up the phone in his hand "I need an ambulance and the forensic team to the apartment of Lieutenant Mac Taylor! Hurry up!”

Mac was held to his feet against the wall "Adam!" he called him feebly "Move over!"

Adam stepped aside and the look of Mac became sheer terror

"No! It cannot really have happened!"

Jo looked at Mac scared to walk back and forth to the hospital room

"Mac! Calm down! You should be resting! You have just been intoxicated by Chloroform!"

"How can I calm myself, when my children have been kidnapped?"

Adam came into the room "You should be in bed!"

Mac noticed the files that Adam had in his hand "What's that?"

"The results of a sample of air in your home! I won’t tell you more if you don’t get into bed!" Mac lay on the bed and Adam went on "So, in the air of your apartment, there were up to 900 ppm Chloroform! Thank goodness I arrived at the right time! With your case we got to the third pair of twins disappeared in Manhattan in two days and the case of today is the one who made more newsworthy in the media! The newspapers of tomorrow will be talking about this story in the first few pages!" he looked at Mac and saw that he had a blank look "What are you thinking?"

"That I have to pay a visit to the murderer that I put in prison on Valentine's Day!"

Jo remembered in that moment "Edward Finch! Do you really think he had anything to do with that?"

"Yes! He threatened me! Want to question him with Flack!"

In the opposite room, Christine was holding the hand of Lindsay

"I cannot get up! I want to find my children!"

"But now you need to rest! Don’t worry! We are taking care to look for them!"

Christine began to cry "What if something happened? Where is Mac? Does he knows what has happened?"

"Mac is in the next room with Jo! He knows everything! Try to rest!"

"I want to go looking for Kenny and Faith! Every minute I spend here I risk to lose them!"

Danny looked in "Same Mac’s hard head! To put him to bed and making him not leave the hospital it took a thousand blackmails! You should thank Adam! If he hadn’t found you in time, we'd be looking for two orphaned twins!"

Lindsay wiped Christine's tears "To fuss worsens your health!"

"I feel stupid! I haven’t protected them!"

Danny shook his head "To begin with it, these bastards have used the ventilation system to make it possible to chloroform spread in the house. Second, while you were semi-unconscious they broke the window and took away the children. Third, they are so clever and skillful as they hadn’t left even a fingerprint!"

"You could tell her that in another moment, Danny!" Lindsay exclaimed seeing Christine resume to cry.

Danny sighed "Mac has a trace already! Apparently on Valentine’s Day they have threatened him to kidnap his children! I'm going to question Edward Finch!" he walked over to Christine and patted her head "As soon as I’ll find something, I'll come to the hospital and to refer it to you and Mac! Rest, and tonight you'll feel better!"

Fack and Jaime looked at each other shocked

"Danny, the sons of Mac have disappeared for real?" she asked

Danny ran his hand over his face "Yes, and Adam will help us!"

Flack took the files of the other two cases and put them on the desk showing them to Danny

"This morning you have investigated a disappearance of twins, now even those of Mac have disappeared and this is the case on other twins disappeared two days ago!" Flack walked to the computer and opened an e-mail "Read what the Detective Quinn Shelby from Jersey City sent me!"

Danny leaned real monitor "Last year it happened to them and the case is unresolved! The message does not end here! Can you scroll down?"

Flack frowned and made Danny to read the rest: “We found six dead bodies of infants near the river!”

Jaime blanched "Don, we need to get a move on!"

Danny took his iPhone and began to write a message to Jo "Better warn her!"

Jo looked out the window of his office when the phone rang

"Detective Hawkes!"

"It’s Flack! We have problems with Finch: he doesn’t speak!"

Jo slammed with energy her eyelids "In which sense he doesn’t speak?! How long have you been questioning him?"

"Two hours and a half! Danny is exhausted and Jaime no longer knows which threatens to use!"

Jo instantly worried "Well, at this point, it is better to wait for Mac! I hope that, when they’ll resign him, he can help us!"

Flack sighed "I'm afraid, to be honest! They've just kidnapped his children and he has the possible mandatory in a cell! If I were Mac, I would use every means to get to the truth!"

Mac felt something warm and soft which it rested on his stomach stroking him gently. He opened his eyes and he lifted up jumping sitting

"Christine! Are you okay?"

"I'm worried and I want to get out of here! Not even you're quiet! You had a restless sleep and you said:

-You're gonna pay! You will not get away with this!-. To whom were you saying that?"

Mac leaned back against the pillow and looked at Christine's left arm where the IV needle penetrated the skin

"They threatened me February 14! Edward Finch, that which we have found to be the collector of widows’ hearts, he told me that he would take the kids! I kept him under control since he is in jail, I banned him from any contact with the outside! How did he implement his threat?"

Christine kissed his forehead "Maybe they had already planned to do that before!"

Two doctors came into the room

"What are you doing here Mrs. Taylor? You ought to be in your room to rest!" the first said.

Mac said the second doctor and whispered to Christine "He has a syringe in his right hand with a needle too big! Run away!"

Christine rose from the bed and turned to leave. The doctor who had entered for second was about to follow her when she, before going through the door, hit him with a backhand at the neck, causing him to fall to the ground unconscious. The syringe was over away from him.

The other doctor pulled out a knife and lunged on Mac who made him fall on the other side of the bed with a kick.

Mac and Christine sighed together

"I'll call Flack!"

"Yes Mac! I would say that is the case to get out of here! The headache will pass me at my father's house!"

Mac dialed the number and looked at Christine put a hand to her forehead.

The man who had landed Christine stood up and, after pulling out a second syringe, he rushed at her, knocking her to the ground, and he sat astride over her by blocking her.

Mac instantly jumped to his feet, leaving the phone ringing on the bed with speakerphone

"Take a step Lieutenant and she will die," the man with the mask on your face admonished him

"Mac! What's going on Mac? "

The fake doctor was shocked on hearing the voice of Flack and Christine tried to take advantage of it squirming

"Stop bitch! I swear to you that I inject this seriously at you, "he said, squeezing her legs around Christine's belly and hips.

Mac walked a few paces advantage of the opportunity and saw the coat of Christine stained with red at the shoulder due to the old injury recovering

"Mac we're coming!" Flack said into the phone

"Let her go! What do you want?" Mac said

"Are you willing that your beloved twins stay alive?" the man asked picking up the coat of Christine and touching her the right thigh.

Christine had been alarmed at that gesture and her breathing got accelerated

"Don’t you dare to touch her!" Mac threatened him

"I may be left alone in this room, but not out of here!" he grinned weighing on the body of Christine, who was trying to break free of him. He kept touching her on the right thigh first outside and then inside watching her jump and pant worried

"You have only a short time to save your kids! Now I'll enjoy a little with her and then I'll make you my offer!" he was about to unbuckling his belt with his left hand holding the syringe pointed at Christine's throat.

Mac took a risky decision: he threw himself on the man, before he could do harm to Christine, he started on top of her to shield her with his body from the syringe that was going to end up in her chest.

A muffled cry of Mac alarmed Christine and at that moment they heard the police sirens as well

"You can still save your children Taylor! In fact now you will be forced to look for us if you want to save you too!" the man said running away

Mac rose up by Christine "Are you okay?"

"Yes! Are you hurt?"

"I have only this syringe in the back! Please remove it from me!" he said slipping on the floor on his stomach "Do it determined!"

Christine rose up, she took the syringe with one hand while the other hand pressed on the back of the Mac and took it away.

Mac shouted, squinting his eyes and clenching his fists "Whatever's in there, it burns!"

"I think with what is left in the syringe, it can try to analyze the content!"

"But now, let me see your shoulder!"

Flack opened the door of the room "My God! What has happened here?"

Danny, Jaime and Sheldon were behind him and looked at Christine with syringe in her hand and Mac who controlled her bleeding shoulder.

Mac stood up confused "I want to know what I've been infected with, Sheldon! Please, you must help me! We cannot stay here! We need protection and I have to question Edward Finch!"

Christine helped him to stand upright "Now you have to stay calm!"

Jaime ran out and came back with the doctor on duty

"What happened in here?!"

Mac pointed to the unconscious man near the bed "A perfect question to ask him when he wakes up!"

Christine looked at Mac and then Flack "The other had the gloves and a face mask, but it could have left traces on me!"

Sheldon looked Mac to nod at him "Come with me into the other room Christine! Let's see if we can find something!"

Christine stroked Mac on the cheek "You'll be fine! We will do everything we can to heal you! Whatever you have! Thanks for saving me!"

"You're my wife, Christine! -As long as both of you have life- I don’t intend to miss this promise!"

Jo and Angela listened to the voice of Sheldon from the office

"It's something that I cannot explain yet! We’ve only the DNA that was under Christine's nails!”

"Please tell me that Danny will find something!"

"He will do the analysis on the syringe, but it is all to see! Maybe we will understand what Mac will have to worry about!"

Angela stared at the screen just went black for a while

"They kidnap their children and then they try to kill them!" she turned to Jo "What do they want from Mac and Christine?"

"Let’s try to find out it! Let's go to Danny and let us help him with the analysis of the syringe!" she said pointing to him at work.

Danny and Lindsay examined the contents of the syringe

"How many components do we have?" he asked worried

"Three! Adam is analyzing them one by one!" Lindsay showed him.

Jo and Angela placed side by side them

"How does the search proceed?" asked Jo

"I think that soon we'll need the help of Isabella!" Danny added looking at the result of the virus.

Adam appeared from behind the computer "We have all the components! I do not like what I see!"

Angela rushed to look at the screen "Oh Mac! What they injected you?"

Jo looked at the list on the screen with the characteristics of each virus on next: Cytomegalovirus, Simian virus 40 (SV40), Poliomavirus BK.

"I read an article!" Adam said breaking the silence "Mac has temporarily immune defenses lower than normal, he was a smoker when he was in the Marines and the fact that he's also a genetic predisposition, by his father, it makes his case even more at risk!"

the others were already pale

"Lung Cancer!" Lindsay whispered "If Mac falls ill..."

"I don’t even want to think about it!" Danny snapped.

"The hard part will be to tell him that he could end up as his father!" Adam concluded.

Mac and Christine were in the hospital’s consulting room with Flack and Jaime

"I forbid you to come to the precinct with me, Mac!" Flack said "Now you go to do further testing, while we make sure that Christine arrives safely at another hospital to do tests too! You might have infected her!"

"Please! Let me interrogate that parasite and Edward Finch! My kids are in danger!"

Flack sighed "Okay, Mac! Provided that before you go to do tests!"

Jaime tried to convince Christine to stay quiet "Come on Christine! We will find Faith and McKenna!"

"I'm afraid! I don’t know what Mac has and I don’t know where my children are now!"

"But you have to be quiet! A little while ago you've experienced a bad time and you need to rest! We will put an escort in the hospital and out of your room!"

Mac looked at Christine and approached her "Please go and do tests! Tomorrow morning, when you’ll wake up I'll be by your side and I hope I’ll can also tell you where the twins are!"

Christine shook his hand "Don’t let me down!"

"In the two and a half years that we’ve been together since now, have I ever done that?" he made to reduce the distance between them, but he soon withdrew back "I hope I don’t have anything infectious, my love! The last thing I want is for our children to lose you too!"

Adam came in with the results of the liquid syringe

"They will have to puncture you a little, Mac! You risk a lot, but not you, Christine!"

"You're so close to me, what do you risk?" he asked worried

"Nothing about that! Some viruses that are injected into you, normally, eighty percent of the population contracts them without consequences!"

"But I have low immune defenses, right?"

Adam frowned "In addition all together... you told me about your father Mac when we were investigating the case of the Gravedigger and then you..."

Mac was surprised "What?! My father?! The Gravedigger?!"

Adam sighed and called upon his courage "It has been proven that all viruses which have been injected you may have an influence in the development of... Look, I cannot tell you! So read the viruses! You will understand by yourself!"

Mac took the papers and read the names of the virus "Lung cancer!" he said in a whisper almost inaudible by turning white

"What is it Mac?" Christine asked

"Nothing serious!" he merely said.

Christine exclaimed "Mac, I want the truth!"

Mac began to shiver "I can’t! I cannot tell you it!"

"Hand me those papers!" she ordered. Flack handed them to her and Christine read them "No! It cannot be true!"

"Poor children!" a man in his seventies with a lab coat said looking at four small babies "I bet your parents will be worried about you! So small that you still do not know to talk!"

"Chief!" a young man said entering "We were able to bring them to you! Tommy come on in!"

A boy came forward bringing in the arms two children who would not stop crying

"I want to introduce you to the Taylor twins!"

The man smiled "Excellent! they will be perfect guinea pigs! Put them with the others!" when the children were placed in a cradle the man turned to him "How does it feel to be almost entered into our big family, Tommy?"

"Well! What will happen to the children?"

"I'm doing scientific discoveries on the twins! I will use them as guinea pigs and then they will be used for the ritual of Friday! So you will enter, along with two other novices, in the order!"

"I am honored of this, Master!"

Danny and Lindsay observed the DNA collected from Christine’s nails

" Danny, look!" Lindsay said

"Hahaha! Boom! I'm sure that Mac now, if he were here, would thank us and would not look forward to question him!" Danny exulted

"Go get him then!" Lindsay said "This case needs to be solved before Friday!"

Danny smiled "It's a word! We are at Tuesday!"

"I'm going home to the children and to see how Christine is!"

Lindsay walked into the hallway and was flanked by Jo “Hello!”

"Lindsay, I wanted to go to Christine to see how she was! What are you doing?"

"Actually, I was going to be with her! I'm glad if we go together!"

The two arrived to Christine and found her intent on staring at nothing

"Christine! Hello!" Jo greeted her by sitting next to her

"Hello Jo! Hello Lindsay!" she said trying to stay relaxed "I'm losing him! I am losing Mac! I just got a message from him! He will pursue an antibiotic treatment, but he could develop cancer because of genetic predisposition!"

Jo looked down "There is a chance that it doesn’t happen! Don't get ahead of yourself!" she gently stroked her

"We have found the man who wanted to rape you! Danny is going to take him!” Lindsay told her "We will also find the twins!"

"Lindsay! Mac is at the precinct! Flack says he doesn’t want to remain at the hospital and that he wants to question Finch, Brown and Hardy!" Jo said looking at the phone.

Christine looked at Jo surprise "The man said that if he wanted to save himself the only option was to find them!"

"They're an organization!" Lindsay exclaimed

"Yeah, and apparently they have an accurate way to act! The children who have been found in Jersey City had no more blood in their veins!" Jo said "I understand that Mac wants to investigate at any cost!"

Mac walked back and forth in front of Edward Finch

"Are we getting nervous, Lieutenant?" the man sitting in the chair laughed mockingly

"Speak! Or I swear I will send out my colleague and we will stay here alone!" Mac shouted and a vein in his neck became quite evident

"How scary! Whatever can you do to me? I burned the hand of your colleague with acid last time!" he smiled looking at Flack

“Listen up, you bastard! I could really leave you alone with Lieutenant Taylor! For sure you will be surprised to see his anger!"

"I see before me a man with a fever that if he gets angry, he risks losing all energies and fall to the ground!" Finch responded to Flack "Did you like the surprise of the sting Lieutenant? How is your wife? Isn’t she  likely of getting sick?"

Mac clenched his fists "Flack, get out! Leave me alone with him!"

"With pleasure! I'm out of here!"

"Enjoy the show!" Mac growled while Flack opened the door.

Mac watched Finch rocking himself on the chair, precisely on the two front legs, he approached him slowly and calmly

"Be careful to swing on the chair!" he kicked at one of the two legs and Finch fell to the ground hitting with his face the edge of the cold metal table "Otherwise you fall and hurt yourself!"

Finch got to his feet with a broken lip "Very funny, Lieutenant! My lawyer will have a ton of fun with it!"

"I don’t doubt it! Even the staff of the morgue will enjoy a lot to put together your pieces!" he came up a little more ''When you got up, you could take a retort and fall!" he made ​​a trip up to him and Finch fell to the ground.

Finch smiled and stood up "You have no idea in what trouble you're getting in!"

"And you?" Mac replied looking at Finch cling to the table and moving in the opposite direction. Mac exclaimed "You could do too much weight on the table and this may tip over!" he lifted the table that bumped into Finch “Oops! What a unfortunate series of events! You know, others might happen..."

Finch stood up "Alright Lieutenant! I will speak to you of the sect of -Dark Scientists- and what they will do your little ones!"

Mac sat "So we're getting somewhere!"

"You know who was Josef Mengele?"

"The SS physician who experimented on twins!" Mac said observing Finch sitting on the chair

"He was studying the multiplication breed! My sect is inspired by him partially! We believe that there is a parallel world where our double will born once finished our journey here! We want to connect the two universes in order to double the space and create new forms of life and the twins of the opposite sex are the key! Believe me when I tell you I had seen the other universe and how it is light years forward from the ours! I have traveled in the two universes and they are also interested to link to us!"

Mac held up a hand to stop him "I have had to deal with things like that once! There is no key to time travel or possible parallel universes!"

"It should interest you! It is for this reason that I killed widows! Where do you think all their hearts are? They are the key that enable them to communicate with me and link to us! Come on! How was I to know that your children would disappear? How do I know that at this time you have a lethal combination of viruses that are changing the playback system of your lungs’ cells and you will develop a small-cell carcinoma?"

Mac shivered "What else do you know?"

"That your wife was nearly raped, that at the moment she feels useless and wants her children with her! It's as if she was a poor defenseless little girl!"

"Great strategy of psychological study! It doesn’t work with me!"

Finch smiled "I knew it would end like this! The only way you can save yourself for sure it’s a serum which contains the same virus modified to produce the opposite effect!" Mac looked at him frowning without saying anything" I cannot tell you where the twins are! I do not know it! In addition I'm just the chemist! You should talk to the failure future started and his boss! I know for sure that they know who the kidnappers are!"

Mac left the room and reached Flack "I want Brown and Hardy in there!"

"Mac, you're exhausted! You cannot continue investigating! You went well with Finch! Let me call Danny! You can assist, but swear to me that you will sit down! You're sweating! The test results confirms that you have some not contagious infections!"

Mac nodded "Tell me you've heard too what Finch said!"

"You can bet on it! I swear if they touch my godson and his sister I’ll hang them exactly like those two that we found on Valentine's Day!"

Jo and Lindsay left the hospital and reached the precinct and they saw Mac getting up from a chair to reach them

"I questioned Finch and Flack questioned Brown and Hardy! We have a site: the Freedom Tunnel on the Upper West Side! There is a serum that can avoid me to develop the disease!"

"We're coming with you!" Jo said

Mac put his hand on her shoulder "No Jo! You are pregnant and Lindsay has two children! I will not let you become involved in a probable gunfight!"

"You are weak Mac! You have fever and you cannot stand for a long time!" Lindsay pointed out to him "At the hospital, Christine is worrying about you!"

"I have to go to retrieve the only sure cure that exists!"

"Do you think that the serum actually exists?" Jo asked him

"I don’t know what to believe in! The Dark Scientists believe that there is a parallel universe and half of them are scientists looking for cures for cancer, research on twins and other crazy stuff! However, if they have really a cure, I have to get it! I have to go to pick my kids up down there before the rite of admission to the sect is accomplished!"

Flack arrived out of breath "Jaime, Danny and five police cars are ready to follow us, Mac!"

Jo followed them to the door "I'm going to inform Christine! Promise me you won’t enter in there alone, Mac!"

"Don’t ask me to make any promises, Jo!"

lack looked at the entrance of the tunnel "It puts chills!"

"I will go in there and I'll find them! Whatever it costs me!"

"Mac, don’t make risky moves and you know that I'll always be by your side!" Danny said.

Mac patted him on the shoulder and went "Don’t stand too close! I remind you that your kids aren’t immune to viruses, especially Sid!"

The tunnel was wide and the rails were rusty in some areas. Mac picked up the gun and began to walk near a wall and lit the torch. Behind him other lights lit up the tunnel.

"How is it possible that the Writers and all the homeless people who live here have not noticed anything?" Jaime asked

"Because it's all hidden under the ground!" Flack told her

Mac watched the first wooden staircase that descended down "Let’s get divide! Danny and I will go down here!"

"Well!" Flack said passing over "If anything happens, use the radios!"

Danny nodded and rushed behind to Mac who had already disappeared downstairs.

Flack sent few of his men for any new tunnel and at the end he and Jaime were left alone to check the last one

"Wait! I report to the control unit that we need reinforcements!" Flack said taking the Jaime’s hand who was venturing further.

In the gallery that smelled of mildew, Mac saw two armed men and made them out to Danny.

Danny crawled up against the wall until the first cove, he watched from near one of the men and, when this was turned back, he came out into the open by pointing the gun to his head

"NYPD! Throw the rifle down!"

The man obeyed and his companion raised his one and pointed it at Danny's head.

"Do not even think about it!" Mac thundered from behind the other wall "Who are you?"

"We're two disciples who must swear allegiance this night!" the one that was under Danny’s fire said

"Where are the children who have kidnapped?" Danny asked

"They are all six from thence! In the lab with our boss!" the one Mac’s with gun pointed at said

"You were the ones to creep into my house!" he came to the one who held the rifle and that was under his fire "Turn around and throws the weapon!"

"Our Master won’t let you go away so easily! You will suffer the wrath of our sect!"

Mac laughed "Of course! Now put your hands behind your back!"

"You too!" Danny ordered.

Once handcuffed the two, Mac looked at Danny

"Keep an eye on them while I recover the kids and call Flack! We need reinforcements!"

Mac walked into the lab and, behind a curtain made ​​with a sheet of plastic on a metal table, he saw three males babies

"Damn! They are almost frozen!" he said touching McKenna’s skin with his hand. There was no one in there and he decided to take off his jacket to cover them and keep them warm "Now I’ll try your sisters !"

A faint cry drew him towards another tent and he saw three baby girls and the one who was crying it was Faith

"Baby! Don’t cry! I came to rescue you!" Mac smiled caressing her hand.

The baby girl raised her head for a few seconds and smiled.

Mac looked at the other baby girls, it was obvious that they were scared too

"Well! What do we have here?" a chilling voice said behind Mac and turned abruptly "Lieutenant Taylor! It is so touching that you have come up here! Almost, I didn’t hope more to this! I thought the Chloroform and a cocktail of viruses would be sufficient! Evidently I was wrong! Moreover, a parent would do anything for the children including challenging death!"

"I've been defying death every day for thirty-one years! For now, I've always won!"

"But this time it's not going that way! Am I wrong or your life expectancy has an expiration date? If your children survive today you will see them finish the kindergarten and begin primary school!"

Mac stepped up to the scientist "You have something that can help me! In addition to saving the children that you have made kidnap, I'm here to take that thing!"

"That serum doesn’t exist yet, Lieutenant! I just discovered a formula! Nothing else!" the scientist smiled "There's one thing I know for sure though! You and the six children you will not leave from this tunnel! They will be used for the ritual and you're going to die down here!"

"I wouldn’t swear on this!" Mac commented

"Then look above your head!"

Mac looked up and saw thirty men with the gun pointed at him "You have done well your math!"

"But not enough!" Danny said coming from behind with Flack, Jaime and policemen also appeared behind the men of sect’s Master

"The formula!" Mac ordered by pulling out the gun

"Look for it if you want! I won’t tell you where it is! Lieutenant, you're already a dead man walking, to me!"

Mac approached the man and took his hands and he handcuffed them behind his back

"From this evening, you won’t kill no longer any baby!"

Lost in the darkness

Hoping for a sign

Instead there's only silence

Can't you hear my screams?

The Master was taken away and Mac rejoined his daughter who had begun to cry again

"Calm down, my little girl! It's all over!"

Jaime picked McKenna up and, wrapped him in his coat, she began to move toward the exit by giving the order with a nod to take the others.

Never stop hoping

Need to know where you are

But one thing's for sure

You're always in my heart

Danny took with him one of the remaining two males and Flack took Faith

"Hello princess! You don’t know how much your dad and your godfather have toiled to find you! Now you're safe!"

Mac looked Flack taking off his jacket and he felt the gaze of Faith fixed on him. Mac looked up at his daughter, being careful not to get too close, and she smiled at him

"Be a good little girl with Flack! Daddy cannot take you in his arms for a little while!"

I'll find you somewhere

I'll keep on trying

Until my dying day

I just need to know

Whatever has happened

The truth will free my soul

Lost in the darkness

Tried to find your way home

I want to embrace you

And never let you go.

At the hospital the two sets of parents of the children had gathered and there was even Christine, sat on the sidelines to an IV in his arm and staring into nowhere.

The doctors went in with the various cradles and the various parents rushed from their children.

Adam came with coffee and sat down near Christine

"Don’t you go to see if there are also Faith and Kenny?"

"I'm scared! They can keep their children in their arms, while I can’t!"

"You're only under observation! It is Mac who must stay away from them because infected!"

Jo and Lindsay joined Adam and Christine

"I spoke to Flack!" Jo said "The kids are coming! Soon you will see them again!"

"Let's hope they're all right!" Christine said worried

"Of course they are!"

Christine saw the second pair of twins to arrive with Danny

Almost hope you're in heaven

So no one can hurt your soul

Living in agony

Cause I just do not know

Where you are

I'll find you somewhere

I'll keep on trying

Until my dying day

I just need to know

Whatever has happened

The truth will free my soul

Shortly after, the door opened again and Mac, Flack and Jaime with the doctors, they entered.

Christine rose up to his feet. Mac saw her and smiled.

Christine came up to the cots and the tears began to slide down her cheeks

"Are they okay?"

"They are very fine!" Mac answered her "But they will spend the night in the hospital too!"

At a safe distance from each other and the children they smiled at each other.

Christine reached out a hand toward Mac and he caught it up with his one

"And how are you?"

"Just  some fever! And you, Christine?"

"Just  some fever!"

Jo and Adam smiled while Lindsay ran from Danny and kissed him.

Mac and Christine gently caressed the cheeks of children with indexes and then they stare in their eyes

"I could stay here to steer at you and the kids for hours!" Mac told her "But now we must leave them to the doctors and we have to separate! They want me to other tests and Sheldon has already committed himself in developing a formula in the lab! Let's hope it works!"

Wherever you are

I won't stop searching

Whatever it takes me to know

I'll find you somewhere

I'll keep on trying

Until my dying day

I just need to know

Whatever has happened

The truth will free my soul

 

Nothing was the same again.

Danny and Lindsay hugged and peered Mac and Christine hold themselves by the hand, always at a distance, while the twins were taken away. Flack and Jaime smiled and she whispered something in his ear which made him laugh. Jo texted to Sheldon leaning on Adam’s shoulder a message seemingly trivial, but full of all the existing meanings: -I love you!-

Outside the Trinity General, New York was living its Friday night and it was tinged of its night colors.
