Mac was having a hard time not laughing as the police sergeant staring down Don continued his interrogation. The mother of the little girl was watching with a fumed expression and Mac did give a small chuckle, and the woman flashed him an icy glare. He shut up.
" Then how come the mother's saying you hit her?" The sergeant smirked.
" I DIDN'T! I WAS MAD BUT I DIDN"T HURT THE KID!"
Yes, alas, this went on for over four hours until the woman realized Don was the wrong person. Then Don was given an apology, and let go. By this time it was late in the evening and Mac sighed as he walked up to Don who was looking around shifty-eyed and sipping water carefully.
" Uh.. Don.. Why don't you go home? You've have a rough day.."
" Rough?" Don said, giving him a weird look.
Mac sighed. " Okay… a hellish day. So why not go home, relax and come back in the morning? Things will be better then." He clapped Don on the shoulder.
Don jumped, then nodded. " Okay.. But how am I going to get home?"
" I'll have Danny drive you, okay? And your car will be delivered in the morning. It was fixed and the insurance company is being billed, all of it's going to be okay…"
Don nodded.
CSI NY
Don unlocked his home, and sighed. He tossed his gun and badge on his table and got himself something to eat in the kitchen. Yes, he'd had a horrible first day. And he was probably going to be paranoid for the next year. But oh well. He was home now and nothing could happen.
Right?
Well… He'd finally gotten a long hot shower, got into his nice jammies and settled into bed, watching a " Full House" Marathon… Yes, it was his favorite show. Leave him alone. And he was laughing, eating his dinner, and drinking coffee just when…
The power went out. He sat there for a second, unsure of what to do until.. He heard his windows break in the living room.
" MOMMMMMMMMMMMMYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!"
THE END
Author's note : Ah, Don finally got home and well.. Maybe his night was more.. Eventful than he wanted but don't worry. He didn't get hurt and his power went back on. Thanks for all the great reviews and I hope to get the same feedback on the new story I'm working on!
