The following morning when Stella arrived at work, she seen Mac sitting in his office looking over a case file.

"Morning Mac." She smiled.

Looking up from his file, he smiled. "Morning Stella. How did you sleep last night?"

"Good. Thanks for asking. So what are looking at?"

"Oh, just an old case file. I still have like 25 unsolved on my desk."

"I see. I'm going to head down to see Sheldon. I'll talk to you later."

"Stel!!"

"Yeah Mac?"

"Are we still on for tonight?"

Smiling widely, she answered..."Yeah. Yeah we are Mac. See you at 8."

After she left, Mac took Peyton's letter, and tossed it into the garbage can.

"Onto the future Mac. No looking back." he said to himself.

"Hey Mac. We've got a double homicide in Central Park."

Grabbing his kit, he headed out with Danny.

"Where's Stella?"

"Her and Sheldon have already left."

"Okay Danny, let's go."

Mac smiled to himself inside, for he knew Stella was obviously able to handle what they were exploring within each other.

When they arrived, Stella was already processing the scene.

"Hey Stel."

"Hi Danny. hey Mac."

"Hi Stella. Sheldon TOD please."

"I'd say no more then four, maybe five hours ago. Rigger is just setting in."

As Mac bent down to look at the bodies, he noticed the jagged edge of the victims flesh.

"Looks like some kind of steak knife wound."

"That's exactly what it is Mac. I'd say the kills were quick. Straight through the Aorta. Victims bled out."

"Mac!! I've found something."

Walking over to where Stella was standing, he seen what looked like the murder weapon. A lone steak knife, covered in blood, thrown into the bushes.

Putting on his gloves, Mac picked it up and examined it.

"Good fine Stella. Looks like a print on there. Bag it and tag it."

"Mac!! I've got an ID on the victims."

"Go ahead Flack."

"Mr. and Mrs. Thompson, 1442, 42nd street. There's also something else we found on the victims. Both had a double cherry tattoo on their hand. I checked into it, and it seems they were at a nightclub called Pacha. The address is 618 West 46nd street."

"Okay Flack. Take Danny and Sheldon with you. See if you can get any information from the staff, or any possible witnesses."

"You got it Mac. See you back at the lab."

With the bodies on their way to Sid, Mac asked...

"Stel, would you like a ride back to the NYPD?"

"Sure. Seeing Sheldon took my only means of transportation," she laughed.

As Mac was driving Stella asked...

"How did you sleep last night Mac?"

"It was touch and go. I got a little sleep. I think it was about 4am I took off for a little jog."

"But you're doing okay otherwise?"

Looking her in the eyes he said...

"Yeah Stel. I know everything's going to be fine."

Taking his one hand off the wheel, he wrapped his fingers around hers and gave her hand a little squeeze.

When Stella and Mac arrived back at the lab, they headed down to see Adam.

"Adam. Did you get anything off the Knife?"

"I did Mac. I found the DNA from both victims, plus one unknown male DNA. I'm running it through now."

"Okay, when you get the results let me know."

"I will Mac. By the way have you seen Sheldon?"

"He's with Flack and Danny, working on the case."

"Oh. Well you might want to call him. sid's been up here twice now. It seems the haulers haven't brought in the bodies yet of Mr. And Mrs. Thompson."

"Those bodies should have been back here long ago."

"I know that Mac. But according to Sid, the haulers haven't arrived yet."

Leaving Stella standing with Adam, Mac headed down to talk to Sid.

Meanwhile Don, Sheldon and Danny arrived at Pacha. As they entered, they noticed how empty it was.

"Excuse me. You can't be in here. We don't open till 5pm, I'm going to have to ask you to leave."

Pulling out their badges, they flashed them at the manager.

"Oh...sorry about that. What can I do for you Detectives?"

"Can you tell us if you had any altercations here last night?"

"Here? In this bar? I don't think so. This nightclub has the best Security in NY. Believe me, we've never had a problem here."

"Okay. Can you take a look at these two pictures, and tell me if you recognize this couple."

Looking at the pictures, he quickly answered...

"No. No, I don't know them. If there's nothing else Detectives, I must get back."

Flack knew something was up. He could tell by the expression in the guys face as he looked at the pictures.

"No. That's all for now. But we will be back."

Leaving out the door, Danny said...

"You know he's lying."

"Of course I do. I knew from the moment he looked at the pictures."

"So what are we going to do now?"

"We are going to let Mac know that tonight, we are all coming back here, to talk with the staff. Someone had to have seen something."

Heading back to the NYPD, Sheldon and Danny were looking forward to tonights events.

In the Morgue.

"Sid!! What's going on with those bodies?"

"I don't know Mac. They haven't arrived yet."

"Have they called in?"

"No. I haven't heard anything from them since the first time they called to say they were on their way."

Mac was as confused as Sid.

"I'm going to send out a couple officers to find those haulers."

As Mac walked out the door, the haulers were just arriving.

"Where the hell have you two been?" Yelled Sid.

"We're sorry Sid. We had a flat. If you like you can check with Officer Ruther, he stopped to help us."

"Okay. Get those bodies inside, now."

Not having to be told twice, they began unloading the bodies.

"I'm sorry Mac. I'll have the reports to you as soon as possible."

"Thanks Sid. If I'm not in my office, just leave them on my desk."

Walking back upstairs Mac checked his watch.

5:25pm. I need to get out of here. I still have to pick up dinner at AcquaPazza on 52nd street." He mumbled to himself.

"Mac!!"

"What did you find out Flack?"

"Not alot Mac. But we do know the manager was lying about knowing the couple. So Danny, Sheldon and myself are going back tonight."

Mac smiled.

"Umm...I take it this is undercover?"

"Of course Mac, winked Flack. We wouldn't dare take advantage while being on the clock. Want to come?"

"No. Thanks for the offer. But I have plans tonight with a very special friend."

"Get out. Taylor dating again." Laughed Danny.

Not responding to Danny's humor, Mac walked away with a smile.

Watching Mac walk away Danny said...

"What the hell do you think of that guys?"

Shrugging their shoulders, they walked towards the lockers.
