"Lindsay? Hello?" Danny said, "Earth to Monroe."
Lindsay snapped out of her thoughts.
"What Danny?" She asked.
"Good morning." Danny smiled.
"Good Morning."
"We got a case. Someone called the police and said that there were two dead bodies under the Brooklyn Bridge. One on each end." Danny said, "Mac wants you and me to take the one at the East River."
Lindsay nodded and left the lab with Danny. They got into a car and drove towards the East River.
"Are you okay?" Danny asked after a few minutes of silence.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Why?"
"You've been very quite the last week." Danny said, "I'm just worried."
Lindsay sighed, "You don't have to be."
"Are you sure? You seem to dissappear to La-la Land alot of times lately."
"So what? Worried that I can't do my job anymore?" Lindsay snapped.
"No, I'm just worried."
"I just have alot on my mind right now."
"You want to talk about it?"
"No."
"You know you can talk to me right?" Danny asked.
"Yeah, but not now." Lindsay said.
Danny nodded and parked the car. He and Lindsay walked towards the crime scene and met up with Dt. Angell.
"Vic's name is Nathan Cole. He's 72 and an ex-marine." Angell said.
"Any witnesses?" Danny asked.
"Nope, nothing."
"Alright, well, let's start processing." Danny said, "Sid should be here soon."
Lindsay looked at the body and started feeling nauseous.
Oh please God. Don't let me be sick right now, She thought.
She turned away from the body and took a few deep breaths.
"You okay Monroe?" Danny asked. He had seen her reaction to the body.
"Fine." She said.
Danny nodded. He knew something was wrong. But he wasn't sure what it was. It could be the anything.
He and Lindsay started looking for anything out of the ordinary.

At the other end of the Bridge, Stella, Mac and Sheldon were processing their crime scene.
"I got a few shoeprints here." Sheldon said, "It's the only print that leads to and from the body."
"Yeah and they end here." Mac said. He stood a few feet away, at the river shore, "The killer probably had a boat."
"Who would kill a 78 year old ex-marine?" Stella asked.
"There is always someone who is capable of doing that." Mac said.
Sid arrived and kneeled down next to the body.
"No bruises. No wounds." He said, "Nothing."
"So most likely a natural death?" Stella asked.
"Yeah, and TOD is six hours ago." Sid said.
"Why would someone dump a body if the cause of death is natural?" Sheldon asked.
Stella shrugged.
"Hey guys. Both this victim and Danny and Lindsay's vic were reported missing seven days ago." Flack said.
"So someone kidnapped two old men, but didn't hurt them in any way." Stella said.
"Look at this." Sid said and took out a small note from the victim's throat.
TWO
Many more to come
"I'm guessing that Danny's vic is number one." Mac said, "Sheldon get back to the lab and process the note."
Sheldon nodded.
"Well, I'm taking this body with me." Sid said, "And I'm going to the other crime scene. Bye."
Mac and Stella said goodbye and kept on processing the surroundings.
--
"TOD is eight hours ago." Sid said. He had just told Danny and Lindsay about Mac and Stella's victim.
"And no bruises or wounds." Danny said.
"But a note." Sid said and took out a note form the victim's throat.
One
Many more to come
"The note from Mac's vic said the same thing, only that was victim number two." Sid said, "See you at the morgue."
"Bye Sid." Danny said, "I have a feeling that this is going to be a complicated case. What about you Lindsay?"
Danny looked around him but didn't see Lindsay. He walked towads the shore and spotted Lindsay kneeling by the water.
"Are you sick?" Danny asked.
"I just got a little bit nauseous." Lindsay said, "I'm better already."
Danny sighed.
What could be so bad that she can't tell me?, He thought.

09:30
Sheldon sighed. He had found seven prints on the note, but no match in the system. He felt like banging his head against the table. Seven prints and the bastard wasn't in AFIS. The killer probably knew that he wasn't in the system too and therefore he wasn't afraid to leave any prints.
"You got anything Hawkes?" Mac asked.
Sheldon shook his head, "Seven fingerprints, but no match."
Mac nodded. He was about to say something when a loud explosion was heard from outside the PD.
Everybody rushed towards the windows and saw a burning car.
Mac and Sheldon ran down to the entrance and then out on the street, towards the car.
"Isn't that Stella's car?" Sheldon asked.
"Yeah, I think so." Mac said, "How can someone place a bomb in a car in the middle of a crowded street?"
Stella and Danny ran out on the street and joined Mac and Sheldon.
"Oh no." Stella groaned, "That's my car."
Firefighters arrived and put the fire out. Once the fire was gone everybody saw that there was practically nothing left of it.
"It must have been a timer on the bomb." Mac said, "There is no way that it could have bee placed a bomb in the car without anyone seing it. Not at this hour and at this street."
"Yeah, no one would be so dumb to do that right outside the PD." Danny said.
Stella sighed.
"I'm sorry Stella." Sheldon said.
"It's okay." Stella said.
Lindsay joined her friends, but regretted that she had run towards them. She felt nauseous again.
Mac noticed how pale she looked.
"Lindsay, are you okay?" He asked.
Lindsay nodded.
"Go home, you're not okay." He said, "You look sick."
Lindsay nodded and ran back inside. Towards the bathroom. She threw up in a toilet.
This can't be the flue, she thought.
"Danny and Hawkes, process the car. Stella you and I are going to see Sid." Mac said.

"Both victims died of a heartattack." Sid said, "Number one died two hours before number two."
"Please tell me you have more than that." Mac said.
"Well, I think it will suprise you two know that I've found fingerprints on both victims." Sid said, "Black prints on the necks, as if the killer checked for the pulse."
"That means we probably won't find a match in AFIS." Mac said, "Sheldon couldn't find a match from the notes."
"I also got stomach contents for you." Sid said and gave Stella the stomach contents.
"They got food." Mac said, "How do you make sure that two men die after seven days and only two hours after each other?"
"You scare them to death." Stella said.
Mac raised an eyebrow at her.
"It is possible." She said.
"I got a body like that once. Old woman, had been scared to death by a burglar." Sid said.
"Okay, let's check if our two marines have something in common except being marines." Mac said.

10:00
Lindsay was pacing in her bathroom. She had done what Mac had told her and gone home. But not before she had gone to the pharmacy.
She had never been so nervous in her life before. She looked at the stick. Still no answer.
Her phone rang. It was Danny.
"Hello." Lindsay answered.
"It's Danny."
"I know."
"Did you go home?"
"Yes, Danny. I don't need a baby sitter."
"I know. I was just wondering if you'd like me to come over later. After the shift?"
Lindsay sighed and picked up the stick.
"Oh my god." She gasped.
"Linds?"
"Danny, we got a problem."
"What is it?"
"I'm pregnant."
