EPISODE XII: BLOODY FRIDAY

It was a morning like any other, Mac had several letters on his desk and began to read them without too much attention, it was mostly cards of congratulations on the birth of the twins, when he came upon almost casually into a different letter from the Adam and Stella

"You came back to New Orleans a month ago and you have already written a letter?" Mac smiled.

He opened it and began to read

-Adam and Stella are pleased to announce their wedding which will be held March 22”-

Below it there was an addition in pen before signatures:

-We are waiting for you with Christine and the kids!

Adam Stella-

Mac smiled, putting the card on the desk, he looked distractedly the cell phone as soon as it rang and, taken his coat, he went out.

"What is it?" Mac asked out of the car and crossing Flack

"Someone has tied a man to a rail tonight!" Flack smiled "Danny works on this case, but he needs a supervisor!"

Mac leaned down next to Danny, holding the torch in hand, to examine the body right on the track that gave access to the station "What do you see Danny?"

"That this guy didn’t fall on the track?"

Mac was in the lab and Lindsay was helping him with Danny to examine the evidence

"Later, I have to go to Isabella for autopsy! She's going mad to put the pieces together!" Mac said bending over the microscope to observe a cigarette butt "There are streaks here! I want to know what they are!" he broke away from the microscope and stood on the doorway looking at the pale face of Lindsay and the amused one of Danny "Is something wrong?”

"No! No Mac!" Danny said holding back laughter.

Mac turned and walked out of the lab coming into his office and he was joined by Jo who noticed the card on the desk "I see that you received it too! Isn’t it amazing? At the end of all, even they can get married!"

"Yes, it's really fantastic!" Mac exclaimed.

Jo looked at him strangely, but she couldn’t add anything because she saw a message on the phone "There is a demonstration in the downtown against crisis! Apparently someone has found a corpse!" and she left Mac struggling with his work.

Danny came in with a paper in his hand "Look what was on the butt!"

"Graphite! Then someone has written on it with a pencil!" he deduced "What was in in addition to tobacco?"

"There was not tobacco! Here comes the fun part!"

"So?"

"Do you come and get high with a little Marijuana and Cocaine?" Danny asked amused "So much, you've already the eyes of a junkie!"

"What do you mean?" Mac asked, without understanding

"What you saved me by Lindsay joke! Go and mirror!" Danny laughed wickedly

Mac walked into the men's room and looked at himself in the mirror "Geez!"

Jo and Jaime looked at the body in the dumpster

"I'd like to say that this case will be easy!"

Jaime looked into her eyes "We'll make it!"

"That smell makes me sick!" Jo said bringing a hand to her mouth and moving herself "Excuse me Jaime!" she said beginning to run away in the alley.

Jaime looked up colleagues, and saw Angela get closer

"What do we have?"

"White woman! Sheldon said to end up with photos and Jo wants us to seek evidences!"

"Now where is Jo?" Angela asked

"I think she spewing out down the alley!" Jaime supposed

"Nothing short of such as strange thing!" Angela said lifting the body and looking around with a UV flashlight "Nothing at all! Also the sheet of opaque plastic in which she is wrapped in is clean! These are super professionals!"

"Jo won’t like it!" Jaime remarked

"Think at the fact that I'll spend the day with my hands in the garbage!" Angela complained "At least I won’t think that Reed dropped me off after kissing Isabella!"

"Think the fact that I'll have to query all the demonstrators! How about it?"

"You still have a boyfriend!" Angela attacked her

"Try to tell me if I can call the ones of Coroner instead of complaining! So we give work also to Isabella!"

"Call them! Meantime I bring the photos to the lab!" Angela said coming out of the dumpster and taking off the gloves.

Jaime saw coming a familiar face among those of coroners “Peyton!"

"I remember you! You're Flack’s girlfriend!"

"I thought you had stopped with corpses!"

"I went back to my old job because of Abbey! Looking after her and working at the hospital was too strenuous!"

Jaime nodded "Will you be in charge of the body? I mean, will you do the autopsy?"

"Most likely, yes! Or I will take the case of Isabella and she will focus on this one!"

The two looked at each other for a while

"The body does not move by itself!" Peyton smiled and left Jaime.

Jo appeared staggered by the end of the alley and Angela rushed to her "Jo! What's the matter?"

"It's nothing serious!" Jo smiled sitting down on the ground "Did you find anything?"

"No! I will check the entire dumpster in the afternoon!" Angela looked at Jo panting "You sure it's nothing?"

"Never been more secure! Now I'm going back to the lab!"

Mac entered the morgue and was surprised to see Peyton in front of the victim of his case

"Hello Mac!" she greeted him "You look surprised!"

"Shouldn’t I? I thought that your dream was your future as a surgeon!"

"Abbey comes first! Why do you wear sunglasses? We are indoors!"

"I am the innocent victim of a joke not planned for me! I thought that was Isabella to deal with this case!"

"It's too complicated for her! So I replace her!" Peyton said taking Isabella’s clipboard

"Do you still remember how to do it?"

"You're pretty humorous today! But yes! I still know how to do it!"

Mac looked at her with a strange smile taking off his sunglasses "I cannot see anything! I guess I'll make fun of me!"

"I can try to reconstruct you the skull and then send it to you in the lab for a reconstruction of the face! The DNA was not in the database!" Peyton said showing him the conditions of the victim's head "The ropes have just been sent to your lab and, maybe, Danny will find some feedback!” Peyton finished taking off the latex gloves "Our unknown man was beaten before being tied up and you'll want to look for the place where the fight has begun! you've got a trace of DNA on which you can rely on!"

"Thank you Peyton!" Mac said re-putting on his glasses

"Happy business!" she smiled.

As he walked away, Mac saw Jo leaving the ladies room, trembling

"Jo! Are you okay?"

"No Mac! Please, shall we go somewhere else?"

"I'll take you home!" he told her

"No! I cannot go home! I must solve the case first and I need you to help me!"

Danny looked at Lindsay ready to go out

"Are you going to fetch Lucy kindergarten?"

"Yes! You find anything on those ropes?"

"How I wish I had something!" Danny complained "How are we doing?"

"Something will come to our mind! Do not worry!" Lindsay said kissing Danny on the forehead and leaving.

Danny returned to focus and was able to find a different trace of DNA on the rope and inserted it into the CODIS "Boom! Caught you man!" he rejoiced putting himself to jump all over the lab.

Jo and Mac looked at him from outside bewildered and Danny had to calm down.

Mac and Jo went away.

Peyton came into the lab laughing "Congratulations on your performance!"

"Peyton!"

"Your surprised gaze is inspiring, I think I'll work on the reconstruction of the face of the victim!" she smiled crafty

"Are you here for that?" Danny said going to meet her observing the skull in her hand "You did well to put it back together!"

"Let's say that we were lucky to find all the important pieces!"

"I'll gladly help!"

Mac was left alone with Jo "Now we can talk!"

"It is not easy for me to say, Mac" Jo began "I think I'm pregnant!"

"What do you mean you think?" Mac asked

"I'm not sure! I have no delays and I only have nausea as a symptom" Jo watched him smile "Why do you have that childlike grin on your face?!"

Mac took off his sunglasses "Because you should be happy and don’t say it as if it were the Apocalypse!"

"It's been some time since Tyler was born! Do you allow me to be scared and worried because I am no longer young?"

"You have the age of Christine! She was able to give birth without any problems, on top of that they were two!" he tried to reassure her.

Jo shook her head "However, in the past I have already had a child while she didn’t! When you have another child you will understand!"

"I think I have completed the family!" Mac said smiling "Do a test and take off any doubts!"

"I wish I could do it at home! There is a problem: Ellie!"

Mac shook his head "Do it right here in the lab!"

Jo smiled "Thank you!" but she soon returned to saddened "And if I were really pregnant? Sheldon is not ready to be a father!"

"How can you be sure? Trust and believe in the best part of him!"

Jo looked at the pile of unsolved cases of Mac at the edge the desk "Instead, you haven’t figured out who killed Romilda Bowns yet! It is your sole fixed nail! It bother you to know that you don’t know how the incident happened!" she said picking up the entire stack "The proof is the fact that it is on top of all the others!"

Mac took his unsolved cases from the hands of Jo "Hit and sunk! Now go to buy the test! I have to get back to work! If after, instead, you want a help on work call me!"

Danny watched the boy's face rebuilt with Peyton

"We thought it was older! If he gets fifteen years is a miracle!"

"My God! Since becoming a parent things like this affect you more!" Peyton emphasized.

Mac entered the lab

"Mac, you've come just at the right time!" Danny said to him "This is the face of our victim"

Mac looked at him and shook his head "Let’s branch the identikit and see if anyone recognizes him!"

"Meanwhile, I'm going to have a chat with Lars Gabriel! One victim’s friends, or the one who has tied him! Depending on the point of view!" Danny smiled passing the ropes to Mac.

Jo had returned with the bag of pharmacy in hand, trying to look inconspicuous

"Hey, Jo! We have the victim's name: Mary Wendice!" Sheldon told her alongside the hallway

"Gorgeous! Does she has relatives?" Jo asked holding the package with naturalness in the hands

"What do you have? Are you sick or something?"

"What makes you think that I'm wrong?" Jo asked naively

"The package of the pharmacy!"

Jo looked at the package in her hand "Yes! I have a headache and I went out to take a pack of aspirin!"

Sheldon nodded and saw Mac leaving the lab and look in their direction with the jacket in his hand.

"If I ask Mac what happens, he will tell me the truth?"

Jo turned to Mac and begged him with her eyes to remain silent "Mac does not know anything! He worries because he intuits where I've been and want to know what happens!" she patted Sheldon on the shoulder and went away saying "Query the relatives of Mary Wendice, okay?"

Sheldon turned to Mac "You know what's going on! Tell it to me!"

"I do not know absolutely nothing! Stop thinking that I know everything about the life of Jo just because we're friends!" Mac defended himself looking at his watch and then said "I'm going home to Christine to bring her something to eat and see how the kids are! Later I have to meet Flack to query all those who have seen the identikit! You found out something about your dead woman?"

"We know the name and the cause of death: a classic stabbing”

Mac shook his head "Nothing can be termed Classical in a crime, dear Sheldon!"

"Let's talk a little more while I'll walk you to the elevator! For example, how your children are?"

"Well! Faith is certainly the most restive of the two! She always wants to be in the arms and she needs physical contact to sleep! Christine foists her to me all the nights! The rare times when I sleep, I sleep on the couch with her lying on the chest!"

Sheldon smiled "I asked you because I feel ready to take the next step with Jo" he stopped in the hallway and looked at Mac "I would ask the official engagement!"

"Now that's a good news! While you're there, you could get married on the same day of Adam and Stella!"

"Calm down with the word marriage! I'm not ready to take such a responsibility! It would mean to take also responsibility as a father and I'm not ready!"

Mac nodded "Well! I have to go! If you need a consultation, you know how to contact me!"

Sheldon smiled and let him go.

Flack was to the district with Jaime

"Tell me your case is easier than mine at least!"

"Not even a little! We are on the high seas! Isabella has seen fit to switch to my case and leave your to Peyton! I just hope that Jo will come soon! I cannot wait to query the husband of Mary Wendice and take a break!" Jaime said rubbing her temples

"Mac, instead, had to go home to see how Christine was!" Flack snorted

"At least he takes care of his family! How long you don’t make a phone call to your sister?"

"Don’t be witty! You were there two days before Christmas when I called her!"

"I remember just the slap you gave to Mac’s shoulder! You have made Christine worry and you forced Peyton to intervene!"

Flack smiled "If he did not have the brace, it was because he didn’t need it more! I don’t have a good memory for the wounds of others!"

"Thank to you, Lucy, Sid and Aubrey attended the worst event ever!" Jaime yelled

"Next time we'll have a celebration prohibited to minors! Fortunately, the twins will not remember anything!"

"There are pictures to document everything!" Jaime said "Do you remember when you uncorked the bottle for the toast and the cork of champagne had ended right in Mac’s face?"

"I removed it!" smiled Flack

"Sheldon is coming! I hope he is here rather than Jo, "Jaime said, standing up.

Sheldon approached the two "Hey! I'm here to question the husband of Mary Wendice! Jo could not come!"

"Let’s go Sheldon!" Jaime invited him "See you later, Flack!"

"See you later!" Flack smiled.

Mac came into the department and headed toward Flack

“Where are those who have recognized the identikit?"

"Good afternoon to you Mac! They're all there! Waiting in line! Do you want to start?"

"With great pleasure! At least I'm not home to keep Faith in the arms!"

"Someone here is complaining! You made the little girl and since she is the second to be born it means that was conceived first! We can define McKenna a chance!"

"Don’t make me regret having appointed you her godfather!" Mac said looking at Flack leaving the desk

"Ah, it was a your idea! You could ask to Sheldon!" Flack pointed out to him

"Sheldon is not engaged to Jo yet, he will be it soon! You and Jaime were instead to conclude something! When will the proposal be?"

"Mac don’t run!" Flack begged him "Jaime doesn’t know what I have in mind!"

"Why? She didn’t realized it when I asked you to be the godfather of Fatah and the godmother of the number three?"

"I have no money to get married!"

"Not even I had them!" Mac said looking at the line of people ready to issue a statement "Ten people?"

"Yes! Finish the story!"

"Start with not going to alehouse! I know that for your Irish roots is a big sacrifice, but trust that you’ll put something away!"

"I have heard instead of your surprise to Christine! When are you going to tell her what you're planning?"

"This weekend!" Mac smiled

"Where did you find the money?" Flack asked

"Promotion to Lieutenant! It's part of the final surprise too! "

"This time you’ll manage to keep the job without being demoted?"

"Shouldn’t we query those people?"

"Right! I do not want to stay here until two in the morning! I will take the top five and you the others!"

Danny looked at Jo exit from the ladies room with an expression knocked down and ran after her in the hallway

"Jo! I need to talk to you! Shall we go into your office?"

Jo followed him without saying anything and when they locked in the office she started to cry

"I'm sorry! I should not be that in front of you! I'm also your boss!"

"Am I wrong, or you have always been more than that?" Danny asked hugging her "Come on! Whatever it is, it will never be so bad! "

"It is bad, however, if you know that you are not ready both!"

"What do you mean? You and Sheldon had a fight?"

"No!" Jo shook her head "It is not that!" she took the hands of Danny "I cannot stand to face all this alone! Mac told me to believe in Sheldon, but I know that he is unprepared!"

"Tell me what's going on!" Danny said

"I'm expecting a son!"

"Wow! Have you ever used contraceptive methods?"

"Do you think I'm so careless?!" Jo said with a bit of anger in her voice "I think it happened in the time frame in which I have passed from one pill to another!"

"I don’t dare to ask you over! I’d like to know one thing: What are your plans?" Danny asked

"If I will keep the baby?" Jo inquired and Danny nodded "I'll keep it. I just hope that his father can be prepared in the coming months!"

"Mr. Wendice, please! Tell me again the last time you saw your wife!" Jaime was exasperated

"I've already told you! I left her at home last night, I went out with some friends and I called her around 23:00! I have repeated it at least three times! I want that my wife’s murderess is brought to justice, go and do your job instead of wasting your time with me!"

Mr. Wndice was young in his thirties with short black hair and emerald green eyes who intoned to the brown skin. However, his eyes remained enigmatic.

"Since this is all what you want to tell us, maybe your DNA and your fingerprints will talk more than you do!" Sheldon said

"Take what you need and come to frisk my house! No matter what, to catch that bastard!"

Flack was in front of a girl dressed in dark

"Timothy Lars! That's his real name! For many it was known as Kuckunniwi, in the language of his father means -Little Wolf-. He arrived here in New York after being orphaned, the tribe of Cheyenne hasn’t accepted him as a member because he was half white!"

Mac was in the other room listening to a similar story

"His aunt has seen fit to put him in the orphanage as soon as he came here! It was there that I met him!" a colored boy said "Being older than him, I left last year! I studied in high school and I’d like to continue with college as soon as I’ll save up some money! I wanted Kuckunniwi to come with me just come of age! We've been through a lot together!"

Flack was passed to another guy

"It was a pretty quiet! In my opinion he has changed after the adoption last year!"

"In which way he was changed?"

"He went to look for trouble! He always challenged the older boys and more often than not he took them!"

Mac questioned a girl with oriental features

"I know that the last time he had a fight there was in the middle a thirteen year old girl! An older boy was annoying her and he intervened! Obviously that guy used the ropes in his hand and Kuckunniwi has escaped!"

"You didn’t see him again?" Mac asked

"No! He could run fast! I thought he would manage it!"

Mac handed her a photo "Is this the guy who beat him out of the deli?"

"Yes he is!"

"Thanks for the help! You can go now!" he said accompanying her the door.

Flack looked at Mac with inquisitive air

"Gabriel Lars! Does it tell you nothing?"

"Yes! It tells me that Danny hasn’t gone to pick him up yet!" Mac said to Flack "Call him and tell him to reach us!"

With the help of Angela and Jaime, Sheldon began to scour the home of the Wendices

"UN interpreter!"

"What did you say Angela?" Sheldon asked

"I've got a badge and it says that she was an interpreter!" Angela said "While the husband is a financial tycoon!"

"Here there are signs of a struggle and blood stains!" Sheldon smiled leaning on the floor his flashlight in his hand "We have the primal scene of the crime!"

"I see that we used Luminol!" Angela smiled "You know that we may have polluted a large amount of evidences?"

"There are no fingerprints and the Luminol was the last card that I could play!"

Angela looked at the phone vibrate "Guys! Jo informs us that the husband is clean, even in the bank!"

Jaime came up to her "Go on!"

"Mary Wendice, not having children, for his legacy has only one heir: her husband, Steven Wendice! In addition, Jo tells us that our financier is bankrupt!"

Sheldon looked at Angela in her eyes "We still search! There must be other around here!"

"Don’t you think that he is the murderess?"

"No! I think he is the mandatory and his alibi is the output with friends!" Sheldon began to look in the drawers of the dresser of the victim "He wanted to deceive us with his skit! We trap him and the hired killer with their own weapons!"

"You should see what I found in the dumpster with the trash then!" Angela smiled "We need to try a certain Klaus Klain!"

Jaime smiled "I'll pay him a visit with Lindsay! So much so here you're getting away with it pretty well!"

Mac, Danny and Flack were out of the building where Lars Gabriel lived

"Ready to enter?" Mac asked looking at the others

"When you want! My boys are stationed in the street beside and are ready to take action!"

"Then, you and me, Mac, we need to talk!" Danny said quietly "I wish I knew if it was really Gabriel Lars to kill the boy!"

"Let's find it out then!" Mac said coming into the building and climbing the stairs. He stopped on the third floor and knocked on the door "Gabriel Lars! NYPD! Open the door!"

From inside came the sound of a window opening and Flack broke down the door with a kick.

Danny was the first to come in and looked in a room on the right "Clean!"

Mac looked left "Clean!"

Flack looked out the window "He did not run away!" he said drawing the attention of colleagues who leaned out the window "He made it over!"

Mac went back and looked for tracks that might prove suicide and saw a note

-I didn’t want do it!-

"Call the Coroners! He was the murderess and sense of guilt killed him!"

"Well, Mr. Steven Wendice! Please sit!" Jo invited him "We have found some interesting things about you and Mary!"

"You have taken him that damned?" Mr. Wendice asked

"For half! We have a mandatory, but not the performer!"

"What do you mean Detective?"

"Don’t pretend not to understand! You have commissioned the murder of your wife because you found out that she betrayed you with a painter: James Grey. Too bad that his real name is Jonathan Kane, a crook of older women, and you had discovered him!"

"Nonsense!" Mr. Wendice commented

"Not too much! Because, by examining in the dumpster where we found your wife, we found a bunch of keys. There was one that caught my attention. You see, that key does not belong to your wife, but to the murderer! The murderess is a certain Klaus Klain, a former convict who was in the same cell Kane!"

"As you would connect me to the key?"

"The reckless mistake of touching it without gloves proved to be fatal!" Jo smiled "The problems started for you immediately after the conversation with my colleagues: you contacted Kane and refused to pay the balance of the assignment! So he decided to leave for Mexico with 100 000 dollars of payment on account but we stopped him just in time!" Jo smiled "Doing the math, you’ll stay in jail for twenty years, if not more! You better make a confession!"

"All right!" Mr. Wendice surrendered "It all started when I found myself with no money and, rummaging in the bedroom, I found the diary of Mary and I discovered the betrayal. I did research on Grey and I discovered his true identity. I proposed an agreement to not send him back to prison with a trivial excuse and he agreed!" he looked into the eyes of Detective "It is all!"

Mac walked into Jo’s office and hugged her

"You and Sheldon will be ready!"

"You think so? I don’t believe it! Knowing him, I know he'll be ready in a few years!"

"Give him a chance! Trust me!"

"You know that I was the first to comfort him when Camille has left him?" Jo confessed him

"So, what you have to do now is make you cheer up by him! No matter what happens! Look at me!" Mac said spreading his arms

"I see!" Jo laughed "The pacifier that you have in the inside pocket of the jacket! If Christine is struggling with Faith I guess that she should miss it very much!"

Mac looked inside the jacket "What sharp eyes!"

"I will speak with Sheldon!" she said returning serious "You didn’t have a surprise for Christine, Lieutenant Taylor?"

"The voice is shot then!"

"Sinclair gave you another chance! You're back a few degrees higher than me and everyone else!"

"I better go! My mother-in-law replaces Christine until 22.00! Congratulations also for this case, you have handled it great! How many people were involved?" Mac smiled hugging Jo one last time

"Dear superior, it was not easy!"

"Stop thinking of me as your superior!" he gave her a kiss on the cheek and left.

Jo found herself alone in the house with Sheldon sitting at the table for dinner that evening

"Why did you send Ellie to her friend's house? You know it doesn’t bother me if she has friends in the house!"

"Sheldon, we need to talk!" Jo said leaving the fork on the plate

"Wait, first I want to tell you something: I would love that what there’s between us becomes something more! I love Ellie, I love you and talking with Mac on your state of health today... I realized that I got worry seriously when there is something wrong!"

Jo looked at him for a moment and then sighed "I have deceived me for a moment! I'm sorry!"

"Come on! What's the matter?"

"If I told you that I might be pregnant?"

"It's a hypothesis or a certainty?" Sheldon asked with his right hand clutching the edge of the table

"It's a certainty! The test says three weeks!"

Sheldon swallowed hard "It isn’t certainly a news to which I could be prepared!"

"I know and understand you if..."

"We'll make it! Together we will make it! I won’t deny you that it excites me!"

"Maybe I made a mistake to start dating a man younger than me! I had not expected you'd be so excited!"

"We have a few years of difference!" Sheldon smiled taking the wine from the table and stood up "If you cannot drink, I don’t even drink!"

Mac walked into the house and saw Christine exhausted with the little Faith in her arms

"Look who is here! The thief of pacifiers!" she smiled giving him up the baby who was shouting "I don’t really know what there’s in you that calm down her!"

Mac smiled to see the tiny girl calm herself "Something that I think you know, but you hadn’t discovered yet!"

“You mean? "Christine asked

"The trick with Faith is make her listen to the beat of the heart, not just the excessive physical presence!" Mac said "This is the real secret!"

"It's almost a month that I try to understand what she wants! How did you find out?" Christine asked

"At this I answer, darling!" Christine's mother said from the kitchen "Your husband has just realized that your daughter looks like someone! I had the same problem with you and I was surprised to see Mac get away with it so admirably!"

Christine looked at Mac smiling at her "Am I wrong, or every night I find myself with your head on the chest?"

"But you two shouldn’t be already out?" the mother of Christine asked "In two hours I go home and the children return to be your own!"

Mac took Christine's hand and left Faith in the hands of the mother-in-law.

He took a taxi to Christine and they arrived in Manhattan’s downtown

"What are we doing here?" Christine asked coming down from the car

"Walk down the sidewalk and You will discover it!"

Christine walked for a few meters until Mac didn’t take her shoulder and he turned her in the direction of an old clothing store "What shall I do?"

"Enter!" Mac exclaimed.

Christine went in with Mac behind her and was impressed to see that actually it was not a clothing store, but a restaurant and all her colleagues were there

"Mac! Guys!" she managed to say as soon as she recovered a little "It's fantastic! It's beautiful!"

"Do you remember the key I gave you for Christmas? Now you know what it is for!" Mac smiled "I talked to all of them and they agreed with me that you could expand yourself!"

"I wonder how much it cost you!"

"Here's a second surprise! I was promoted to Lieutenant!"

The vice Chef of Christine, Stephane, took a bottle of Italian sparkling wine and uncorked it

"Next week the deli will be inaugurated! For the moment we can celebrate the promotion of Mac and the successful surprise for Christine”

"Yes, but she does not drink!" Mac smiled "Who will appease Faith more if mommy gives her milk to sparkling wine flavor?"

"I've already told you that your bad sense of humor, you will make a career in the Police, but not in the family!" Christine smiled at him giving him a kiss on the cheek "Thank you anyway!"

"Give your coworkers something to look at! You are the star tonight!" Mac pulled her to him and kissed her.

Mac’s phone, rang and he had to answer

"Taylor!" he smiled, he hung up and looked at Christine’s worried face "The Fire Department of New York will better to get ready! This year we'll win!"
