CSI New Yoerk Episode XIX Season 10

EPISODE XIX: YESTERDAY IS STORY, TOMORROW IS A MYSTERY 

Flack looked Jaime sitting on the steps of the Cathedral Church of Saint John the Divine on Amsterdam Avenue, 112th street in the neighborhood of Morningside Heights

"I hope for you that there is a good reason Jaime! You know that today is my day off and I'm doing somersaults for us!"

"Are you a believer, Don?"

"This is a pertinent question for you?"

"In this case, yes! I am Catholic not Anglican, but what's in there makes the skin crawl to anyone!" she said standing up "Angela is struggling to gather evidence!"

"You want to tell me that someone has died in the church?"

"No! They brought the body there!" Jaime said "I don’t think it can be a simple party ended badly!"

Flack went up the steps of the church and walked down the entire aisle looking up the big gap between him and the vault. In front of the altar he saw a cross and tied on it there was the body of a girl of approximately twenty-five years. She seemed to be asleep: her face relaxed and almost smiling, if it wasn’t for the red spot of blood at her feet and the open hip.

Flack stared at her with wide eyes and Angela turned abruptly with Isabella in his direction

"Flack! Flack! Are you okay?” Angela called him insistently, but Flack didn’t move.

Isabella came close to him and she grabbed his left wrist

"Come with me for a moment! Let's sit outside! "

Angela looked at him "At this point it is better to call Mac...”

"Just because you believe that with all the problems that he has, this won’t scandalize him?" Isabella asked her driving down Flack from the altar "Just because with some antibiotics it was possible to contain the infection doesn’t change anything! The situation in which he finds himself makes him depressed anyway! Having eliminated the main causes doesn’t mean you have also eliminated the disease!"

“Listen up, miss know-all! Is it my fault if he didn’t stay at the hospital? Luckily one of the viruses that he has in the body is what causes chickenpox! Imagine if it was mononucleosis!"

Isabella turned abruptly toward Angela "I'd be a miss know-all?! It looks like you don’t have a conscience instead! Mac is far from Christine and his children and he hasn’t been entering the office since he was officially released from the hospital! This situation will persist for another two weeks!"

Jaime had heard the cries and she had approached "Flack!"

Isabella and Angela went back to turn their attention to the Detective that was as absent standing in there

"I think he's shocked by what he saw!" Isabella said to her "I was going to take him out when..."

"I heard that, Isabella!" Jaime interrupted her "You still haven’t called Mac?"

"You also want to call Mac?!" Isabella said astounded

"Do you prefer Jo who is pregnant? We have no alternative! Mac is the only one who may be able to investigate a case of this kind!"

Angela and Isabella looked at Mac with a mask on his face, get closer to the body and observe it carefully, including the pool of blood on the ground

"What do you think of that?" Isabella asked

"That this girl did not suffer!" he said rising "She is so young!" he said observing her "It seems obvious that she has between twenty-five and thirty years!" Mac continued to look at her "And yet I feel like I know her!"

Angela looked at him "We have found a driving license in his pants pocket! Does Ella McBride tell you nothing?"

Mac winced "Yes! When I was still working with Stella at my side, we have investigated the death of his father and let’s say that ... she had a crush on me!"

"Wherever you go, you break many hearts! Explain to me what you have in more than other men?" Angela asked

"I wish I knew too!" he looked at the girl "We also went out together a couple of times! Just coffee, but I think she felt something for me seriously!"

Isabella came over to Mac "What did the doctor say to you?" she said changing the subject

"That I haven’t developed the viruses and that in my body there’s no a trace of them!"

Isabella looked at the corpse of the girl "Can I take her to the morgue and tell you why she died with a smile on her lips?"

Mac nodded "Yes, take her!"

Angela accompanied Mac to make one complete revolution of the church the search of traces and they found a bloodstained piece of plastic

"Angela, get a sample and take it to analyze! This is not the primal scene! It is simply the place of the exhibition to the public!"

Angela looked at Mac shine the flashlight against the wall and look for traces

"They left no traces on the ground and the fact that they lost the piece of plastic is just a coincidence!"

Angela shook her head at his words "I haven’t found more! I would say that we should seek the primal scene!"

Jo had just woke up and at her side Sheldon had just put down the tray with breakfast

"Breakfast in bed! I could get used to it!" she smiled

"As long as you're pregnant you will have only the best! I don’t guarantee for when the baby will be born! By the way, when you have next monitoring?"

"According to you, why I didn’t set the alarm clock at six o'clock this morning? Would you like to come with me?"

"You don’t even need to ask me that!" Sheldon smiled.

Mac looked at Isabella struggling with the autopsy

"You've never witnessed one of my autopsies! What's different this time?"

Mac sighed "On your table there is her!"

Isabella sewed the wound "What did you understand by what you saw?"

"That I am looking for a blade of medium length, smooth and that cuts clearly and precise!"

Isabella looked at Mac's eyes behind the mask

"Right! You are missing only the time of the crime and the toxicological! Ella McBride died at midnight!"

Mac ran a hand on the mask "At this point I'd better hurry up and find the culprit!"

Isabella looked at him "That mask hides half of your face and I can hardly understand your expressions! It has been proven that the viruses you've had in the body aren’t contagious except by close contact! Why do you keep hiding behind it?"

"Because I cannot go back home and even in the office due the fact that I don’t have windows facing on the outside!"

Isabella took off the gloves and the bloodstained lab coat "I'm sorry for this situation!"

Mac sighed "I guess it’s not easy having to carry out investigations without me!"

"Peyton recently is always in the field, I'm stuck here instead!" she walked over to Mac with tears in her eyes "I love you, Mac! You are the only one who has protected me from Angela and who understood what happened between me and Reed!"

"I love you too, Isabella! Every day you spend here you become like your father! Has something happened with Reed?"

"I don’t know what to do! He thought I was asleep and he began to talk to his friend on the phone and he said he wants to marry me! But..." Isabella frowned

"Do you love him?"

"Yes! I mean, I think... I don’t know! Well... it's only a few months that we’ve been going out together... In my opinion, he is running too far! But I cannot tell him anything! Well... how can I say no to him now and tell him to wait?"

Mac laughed "Well, I hope you will be pleased to know that he spoke with me and that I have already solved the problem! I advised him to wait and make sure that it works between you!"

Isabella clung to Mac "Thanks for everything!"

"Now concern ourselves on Ella Mc Bride!"

"As soon as the toxicological arrives I’ll come to you call you at the hotel! Will you stay a long time in that room?"

Mac smiled behind the mask "I'm glad you care for me and Christine, but it still won’t last long! Next week I will return home!"

Lindsay looked at her curiously a number of files onto Mac’s desk and she found again the case of -The Scarlet Pimpernel-. She saw on it a post-it with Mac’s handwriting: -Ask to Christine-

"It's too long as this case is here! It's time to close the matter once and for all!"

Lindsay took the file and left the office.

Danny looked at her out of the lab and he reached her "What did you get in Mac’s office?"

Lindsay showed him the file "I thought it was appropriate to put an end to it!"

"Are you going to ask Christine how did it go? Do you remember that she had just given birth in December!"

"Yes! I'll ask her how it went! I want to know what happened in the moments in which the Pimpernel has kidnapped her!"

"When it is so…" Danny said taking off his lab coat "I'm coming with you!"

"Are you willing to go to Christine now?"

"Yes, of course!"

Jo and Sheldon came into the office and sat down next to Angela

"If you wanted to scare me, you didn’t made it! I saw you coming!" the girl smiled showing the couple the security cameras

"Are you connected to the surveillance system?!" Jo exclaimed

"I told her to do it!" Adam said appearing beside her "Ah! Sheldon, you cannot imagine about the death of who we have to investigate!"

"Tell me that is not someone who belongs to an old case!"

"Yes instead! It is an old case... very old!"

Jo showed curious "I guess you're not gonna take Sheldon crazy! Come on! Tell us what it is about!"

"Ella McBride!" Angela snorted

Sheldon was shivering "The one who was infatuated for Mac! Did she  really die?"

Jo was surprised "Now I want to know something more too!"

"When Mac saw the body hasn’t even recognized her!" Angela began

"Mac saw Ella McBride’s body!?" Adam gasped "You little... You didn’t tell me this!"

"This story intrigues me more and more I need to know the details!" Jo said in a resolute tone.

Christine looked at Lindsay surprise "J.J. has all the answers! I haven’t been  hearing him for weeks! He is still angry because Mac and I have used his bed at the party!"

Danny made a half smile "Jo told me that you were very... cute to see! I never thought you would have taken the opportunity to...”

"Danny!" Lindsay stopped him with a chilling look then she turned to Christine "I know it’s not easy, but I would like to ask you to help us! This case has marked us all and it’s appropriate to close forever with this story!"

Christine heard one of the twins crying and stood up

"I can only say that it was terrible to know to don’t have the help from the FBI! I was worse than when I was kidnapped last year, perhaps because I was afraid for the son that I knew to wait, and it was terrifying having to give birth down there!"

Lindsay looked at her back with Faith "How are they now?"

"Except to cry at night, they're fine!"

Danny brought back the attention on the case "Do you believe it was JJ to kill Romilda Bowns, then?"

"I didn’t say anything, Danny! It's just what I seemed to understand before the party!"

Mac went out of the morgue and found Peyton on the door

"Good morning!" he greeted her.

Peyton just lifted her gaze "Good morning!" she answered automatically with a detached voice

"May I ask why you continue to treat me like this?"

"Like what?"

"You know very well how!" Mac retorted

"You know how it works... Usually with my ex I'm more kind, you are representing the exception!"

"Why?" Mac asked

"Didn’t you ever wonder why Aubrey Hunter dumped you?"

"How do you know her?"

Peyton detached itself from glass partition

"Why do you think my daughter has as full name Aubrey Mackenzie?"

"Aubrey Hunter is your friend?"

"She became it under unusual circumstances!" she explained him "Do you remember when I came back and you had your arm stuck and the bandage due to fractured ribs? Do you remember that you saved me from the man who nearly committed a massacre? Do you remember that kiss and that night?"

"Yes, I can remember!" Mac said "When I found out that Aubrey could be my daughter I thought back to that night!"

"You know that the next day I met Aubrey Hunter at the hospital?"

Mac was dumbfounded "No! Why haven’t you ever told me it?"

"Now I am telling you it!" Peyton said "We became friends! She told me about the guy with whom she was dating, and I spoke about you! She was upset! Me too! Neither of the two has seen you again to don’t wrong to the other! I started dating a guy without that between us there was anything serious, needless to say that he dropped me off at the first opportunity during that summer. When I found out I was pregnant, Aubrey has allowed me to move in with her! My parents didn’t even know that Aubrey exists!"

"Haven’t you ever had a doubt that Aubrey was my daughter?"

"I thought about it!" Peyton admitted "DNA testing in December has confirmed that she is the daughter instead of that..."

Mac took her hand "Look, I probably won’t live much longer, you know this, but if you need help with the little girl..."

"Aubrey takes care of her when I work! We made sure to frame shifts to perfection!"

Mac was surprised "Do you still live with Aubrey?"

"Yes, and she knows that you got married, that you have had twins and about the aggression of a week and a half ago!" Peyton smiled "We read newspapers!"

"It’s better that we go back to work!" Mac concluded

"Oh, I almost forgot! There are rumors, in the upper floors, on the fact that the last victim had a sentimental ties with you! Just to you to know about it!" Peyton smiled entering the morgue

Mac looked at her with a surprised look, once again, and went towards the stairs.

Angela saw Mac at the entrance of the stairs and joined him with a smile

"The piece of plastic that we found! Good news!"

"Go straight to the point!"

"It is not a common packing paper! It is without polyvinylchloride and an Italian company world leader in the bioplastics produces it!"

Mac smiled "Tell me that you know the person who imported it!"

"Sure! I sent Flack there! We have a name! He is one of the former patients of the nursing home where Ella was and according to doctors the two were united by a strong bond of friendship!"

"I'm glad to know that Flack has recovered from the shock! What is the name the prime suspect?"

Angela began to laugh "Tim Burton! It is absurd that he has the name of one of my favorite directors!"

"Soon he will end up in jail!" Mac said quickly "I want a warrant to search his house! We probably have the primal scene!"

"If I would tell you that the primal scene is the harbor?" Angela said showing him a message Flack "And that Ella is just one of the many others?"

Mac looked at the message: -Tell Mac to come here! There are about 20 dead girls!-

Jaime and Flack were standing in front of the bodies of the girls that were smiling, but they hung death on crosses

"It's terrible! I wish I to know who decided that he could get out of the nursing home!" Jaime said looking at the bodies.

Peyton and Isabella came together

"Wow! That's why you asked me to come!" Peyton exclaimed

"It shocks me to see them smile!" Isabella said "They have all suffered so much!"

"Apparently, I'd say they all died in the same way of Ella!" Peyton concluded watching Mac to get there with Angela "Would you say this to them? I prefer to begin to examine the bodies!"

"You know I don’t have a good relationship with Angela!"

"And you know I'm not on good terms with Mac!"

Isabella gave up and went to Mac and Angela "This is the situation!"

"And the suspect?" Mac asked

"You have to ask Flack! I cannot answer to this!" she said pointing him in the back of the store "When we will end with the autopsies we'll let you know! I hope Sheldon realizes that we need him too, without to have to ask directly...” Isabella ended

"I wish you to do a good job!" Mac told her and walked toward Flack with Angela who had roughly squared Isabella with the air of one who feels superior.

"Mac, I regret haven’t cough him! At this time it could be all over!"

"Don’t despair, Flack! I am sure that he will bring us ti his accomplices!" Mac assured him "Where are Jo, Danny and Lindsay?"

"Jo is with Sheldon at the office to arrange the case file, while Danny and Lindsay I don’t know..." Angela she said raising her shoulders

"I wanted to ask them to analyze the evidence that we would have found here..."

"Adam and I'll do at that!" Angela hastened to say "How long is that you don’t see Christine and your children?"

"Almost two weeks... why?" Mac asked

"Because you may go to them while I solve things here! Maybe without that mask! You are not infectious! The tests have confirmed it!"

Mac sighed to Angela "Will you know how get away with it without me?"

"When Flack will have information on our suspect and I'll find something I'll call you!"

Lindsay and Danny saw Mac getting out of

"What are you going to tell him? That you came to make a courtesy visit to Christine?" Danny asked

"Something like that..."

"Tell him the truth! It is easier!" Danny said to her seeing Mac to approach them

"I didn’t expect to find you here! What are you doing at my place?"

"Tell him, Lindsay! We have no choice!" Danny said to her.

Lindsay took a deep breath "Romilda Bowns! I thought to close the case..."

"What has Christine told you?" Mac limited himself to ask

"She thinks it was J.J.! Not even she knows it indeed! We thought we were going to proffer him a couple of questions... if it was really him, he might as well have done us a favor, after all..."

"Danny, I think it's better if I bother to this! Could you go to the lab, put the case updated where it was before and help the others with the case that we have in progress?"

Lindsay nodded "I understand what you mean! Alright!"

"But..." Danny tried to argue

"Danny! Come on! They need us!" Lindsay said pulling him by the sleeve of his jacket "See you later, Mac!"

Mac went up home and he kept his distance from Christine

"I don’t want kids to get chickenpox! They are still too young!"

"That's why you stay there in the doorway?"

Mac smiled and closed the door behind him "I saw Danny and Lindsay out here!"

"You know why they were here?"

Mac nodded and took a few steps forward

"I wish I could say that I would have to ask you some questions! I’ve been repeating it to myself for two months! I never had the courage to ask you anything due fear! I was terrified that if I had asked you something you would have remembered what you had to go through in there!"

"For three weeks I was alone with the Pimpernel who was pointing a gun at me and for three days I have been a victim according to the official version! The Pimpernel kidnapped me as soon as I left the Crime Lab! Nor the FBI nor the police have been able to protect me! I was alone and scared!"

Mac looked into her eyes "Why didn’t you ever tell me the truth?"

"Because J.J. asked me to lie! I've already told Lindsay and Danny which in my opinion it was him to kill Romilda Bownes!" Mac came close and Christine sat in his arms "I'll never be completely free from the FBI! I tried to build me a normal life in the long months where I have not had missions, but it was useless!"

"No!" Mac retorted "You met me!" he looked into her face "I have learned about you in these three years! I know what you like and what not! I know that in the morning you want to choose clothes to put on when you just gotten up and that prepare them the night before is something unacceptable for you! I also know that when you get angry you wrinkle your nose, you crumple your forehead and if you've got something in your hands you slam it on the table!" he stroked her cheek "About the fact that you have risked your life in various missions? I am not interested! To me, you're not a former secret agent, but my wife! I love you and this is enough for me!"

"The children and me are missing you  a lot!" Christine said "When will you come home?"

"Next week! At least, if you’ll get mad to what I'm about to tell you, you'll have time to calm down!"

"What do you have to tell me?" Christine asked

Mac said to her breaking away from her "Ella McBride, the case I'm working on, it's a girl I met during an old case, she had a crush on me, and I saved her life. We met a couple of times while she was in a clinic to recover from her psychological problems..." he paused to look at the expression of Christine, she was quiet and then he continued "Nothing happened between us! I can assure you that!"

"I believe you, Mac!" Christine said "Have you found the murderer?"

"We know who he is, but he managed to escape!"

"I'm sure that if you put yourself in his research with Danny and Flack, you’ll take him before night!" then she looked at him quizzically "Who is Aubrey Hunter?"

"What sorry?"

"It was a name that was in your file in the FBI database! It is one of the women you've met during your career in the police after 2001!"

"My private life is in an FBI database?!" Mac asked astonished

"How do you think I should do know who is Ella McBride and that there was nothing between you? J.J. has passed all files on you and your team to me when he heard that we were dating! You aren’t at all likeable to him! He is still fixed to the idea that I am the perfect partner for him!"

Mac put his arm around her hips "I don’t know if you are it for him, but for me you're it for sure!"

"I wish I could kiss you now that you no longer have that mask!" she said feeling his hands on her cheeks

"See you in a week!" Mac said stepping back and removing Christine’s hands from his face "When I come back I want one of your kisses!"

Mac left the house and got a call from Danny

"Sorry to bother you! I found some news on the case of Pimpernel and where Burton is finished! What do you want first?"

"Burton! So we take him and we slam him in a cell!" Mac said

"I was hoping you'd say something like that! Join Flack and me in Washington Square!"

"I'm coming! What about the Pimpernel? "Mac said getting in the car

"We have a letter from J.J. addressed to you that says he had killed the Pimpernel as a favor to...”

Mac started the car “To?"

"Christine!" Danny concluded.

Mac gripped the steering wheel with his hands to calm down "I'm coming!"

Sheldon observed Jo smiling with in her hands a crawlers for children

"Hey, you really look like the perfect mother!"

"This belonged of Tyler!" she smiled showing the garment in her hand

"If it would be a girl? Don’t you have anything of Ellie?"

"I adopted her when she was one year old!" Jo explained to him "If it would be a girl, for the first 11 months we will have to buy all the clothes!"

Sheldon looked at her with interest the blue crawlers "I have the feeling that I will have to put aside some money!"

Mac was breathing hard and he slid down against the wall of an old warehouse.

Flack joined him with a smile "I've never seen you run so fast! What did you eat?" he asked handing him a hand to get up.

Mac grabbed it and lifted off the ground "I wanted to solve this matter of Ella and go to the hotel to scrape up my things! I know for sure that I'll be pretty busy over the next few days!"

Danny smiled coming in the alley "Wooooh! Mac, you should subscribe to the marathon next year!"

"Who wants to question Burton with me?" Mac asked

"Both, if it pleases you!" Danny said.

J.J. observed Christine and the twins next to her in the restaurant. He decided to get in and he stepped forward

"Is it possible to sit on the terrace?"

Christine said nothing for a moment due to surprise and she looked at JJ to ask then "What are you doing here?!"

"I came to make sure you were okay!" he put his hand on her cheek "I do it since I know you!"

Christine took off his hand from her face "I thought we made ​​it clear years ago!"

J.J. laughed "Yeah, but I never stopped to think about how it could have been!"

"Does Erika know you're here?"

"No!" he looked McKenna to open his eyes and to scrutinize "He is already on the right path! He will become like his father!"

"J.J. get out! I could always decide to call her father!"

"What scared Chris!"

Christine smiled "I won’t call him to protect me! I’ll call him to protect them! I am able to kick your ass into strips even by myself!"

J.J. moved from the counter "You're not born for the life of a normal person! Sooner or later you will regret the choice you made!"

"I doubt it!"

"I assure you that you will do it!" and before leaving he left her a note.

Christine opened it and read:

-You have invented the most useful weapon! If you don’t ask for a divorce to your former Marine, I’ll use it on him! How does it sounds?-

Christine folded the note and put it in his handbag "I hate you JJ! You'll pay for this!"

Mac looked at satisfaction with the cops who took away Tim Burton

"You think between him and Ella something was born!" Flack told him putting himself at his side

"I do not know! It is probable!"

Danny joined them "I think that what we saw in this case reminds us how much our future events are related to our past!"

"Yesterday is history! Tomorrow is a mystery! The only thing I am sure of is the power of Science! As long as we are sure that it works, nothing can stop us from arrest a criminal!"

"Nice poetic speech Mac! Tell this to Ella’s son! Who will never know his mother!" Flack said moving away and then stopping in the hallway "You mentioned something about the fact that Christine had our secret files taken by the FBI before! Do you wanna talk about it now, maybe over a beer?"

Mac smiled "And our wives?"

"They won’t cry if we won’t be under their feet for a few hours, indeed!" Danny smiled reaching Flack "Then what are you going to do you, Mac?" he asked turning "Are you coming or not?"

Mac smiled and looked at the file in his hand "First I have to fix this!"

"You're incorrigible!" Flack shouted at him "The magic word is -delegation-!"

"But he is the head of the Crime Lab, Don!" Danny joked "He must prove to be a man in one piece even if we  have been working together since ten years!"

"Ok! Danny, if something happens to this file, the responsibility will be your!" Mac said stopping a cop

"How did you do that, Danny?" Flack asked amazed

"And how am I supposed to know! He'd be getting old!" Danny assumed.

Adam rang Jo’s  doorbell and Ellie opened the door

"Hello Ellie! Are your mother and Sheldon at home?"

"Yes !" the girl replied "And luckily someone came: I was going to staidly mad! All they do is to say  -And if it was male? And if she was female?- I cannot even study for the test of Sciences !"

Adam walked through the door "I'll help you! Apparently I came at the wrong moment to talk with Jo!"

"Are you really able to help me with Science? Don’t you deal with computers?"

"Well... That's my passion, but I'm also a great lab technician!"

Someone knocked on the door and Ellie rushed to open “Hello!”

"Hello Ellie!" Angela said entering "Adam?! We agreed that I would have passed after work!"

"But I could not resist!" he smiled

"Ok! Um, I'm going to call my mother! Can I get you something to drink? A glass of wine, a beer... Sheldon practically drinks everything in secret!" Ellie said rolling her eyes

"I will drink a beer gladly!" Angela smiled

"A beer for me too! At least I keep you company!" Adam said to her

"Two fresh beers are coming!"

Mac looked at the Detectives in front of him sigh in front of their beers

"What a beating! So the FBI knows all about our lives!" Flack exclaimed

"From the way you talk of this, it seems that the thing gets you irritated!" Danny suggested turned to Mac

"Not only it irritates me, but I would at least delete my file from their computers!" he said while drinking a long sip from his mug

"Adam will give us a hand! I have an idea! Why don’t we go to play golf on the roof of the lab?" Flack proposed

"The last time we went, it was last year! It was my birthday and I was drunk!" Mac answered

"Let's go! You are dying to vent your anger!" Danny pressed

"From your gaze, I see that you are dying to do one thing Danny!" Mac said observing him "Go to Lindsay! You're only here physically!"

"Messer don’t you dare to  leave us in the lurch!" Flack threatened him "I'll tell her that you tried to kiss my sister!"

"Don! Please! Middle department knows that between your sister and me there’s not  appeal!" he turned to Mac "Thank you for convincing him to let me go in advance!" he stood up and drew his chair to the table

"You haven’t left the dollars of the beer!" Mac said to him

"You are offering, Mac! Haven’t you told him, Don?"

Flack smiled and looked at Mac to scrutinize him menacingly.

Ellie looked at Angela and Adam converse sitting on the couch

"Don’t feel guilty for Stella!"

Adam sighed "I don’t even remember how we got to talk about it! Sometimes I get scared! I forget some of her things, her ways of being: the sound of her voice, how she looked at me in the morning just waked up and how on the job she was trying to make it clear to me that in those moments we were simple colleagues!"

Angela came to him and stroked his cheek "Stella is always with you!"

Adam hugged her and began to cry

"Good-bye repetitions of Sciences!" Ellie lamented. She didn’t have time to turn around that Angela kissed Adam on the forehead "But this is more interesting of Mendel's laws!" and she sat in the kitchen to watch the two hosts.

Mac walked up the stairs to the top of the roof of the Crime Lab with Don

"Well! We still have everything!" Flack exclaimed opening the door of a small room on the roof

" hadn’t you taken away golf clubs and balls?" Mac asked

"What do you want us to do with that? I thought they would be more useful here! I haven’t space in the house! My big dog takes up half the house and Jaime occupies 70% of the total space that remains, complaining that the house is small!"

"She's right! Where are you going to put a baby?" Mac asked in an ironic tone

"Maybe in the oven or in the fridge! Maybe I will serve him instead of turkey next Thanksgiving!"

Mac positioned a pole and he prepared to launch "I bet I'll get to that open window"

"You think so?" Don smiled "To me you will hit the window of the one who wanted to denounce you last year!"

Mac smiled and prepared to launch. The white ball whizzed through the air and shattered the glass of a closed window

"What did I tell you Mac?" Flack laughed.

The window swung open and a man of about fifty years leaned out and began to cry out against the building on which Mac and Flack were cleverly hidden

"Ugly thugs! Make yourself see in the face that I will report you to the police! Come out!"

Mac and Flack laughed huddled under the cornice

"We are the police!" Mac shouted

"So you're a bunch of assholes! I'll say it to your superiors!"

Flack continued to laugh like mad "Very good Mac! I cannot believe you hit again the same apartment!"

Mac smiled "In your opinion, what is the present Don?"

"If yesterday is history and tomorrow is a mystery, the present is life!"

New York shone in his twinkle unbridled of colors, another Saturday was about to begin.
