Summery: Mac has just finished interrogating Sonny…



Danny stood against his locker barely holding his tears back. Mac had just finished interrogating Sonny. The look on Mac’s face when the mob boss had told him that he knew all about Danny and that Danny knew all about him and Tanglewood, cut right through the young CSI. His stomach was tied in knots at what thoughts must be running through Mac’s mind. Danny’s face contorted at the dead look he could see in Mac’s eyes as he left interrogation. It was like no matter what he could say to him, nothing was going to bring that light back.

A loud smack rang through the room as the door was smashed open, bringing Danny back to reality. Schooling his features, Danny looked up right into Mac’s dead eyes.

“You lied to me Danny” Mac’s voice left an icy feeling over Danny.

“No I didn’t! I never was apart of Tangle…” Danny’s plea was cut off by Mac’s raised hand.

“I can’t look at you anymore”

Mac turned to leave.

“Pack your stuff up, I want you out of MY apartment by morning.”

With that Mac quickly exited the locker room.

Slumping down further Danny let his tears fall. He was defeated. Trying to pull himself together a bit he stood up.

“I need a drink.”

***
Stumbling into his and Mac’s apartment, wait no its now just Mac’s apartment. Danny began packing up what little he had around the place.

After spending several hours moving everything into his vehicle Danny slumped down onto the battered sofa to take a small breather. Just a few minutes then he would be out of here, out of Mac’s apartment and out of Mac’s life.

Feeling a strong presence behind him Danny turned slightly to see Mac staring at him from by the door.

“Why are you still here?” Mac’s voice was still just as cold as it had been earlier.

“I’m leaving, I’m leaving, just let me breathe ok?” Danny turned back forward, wiping a hand across his tired face.

“You can rest in your car.” The venom in Mac’s words cut right through Danny.

“What did I ever do to you? What did I do to deserve this treatment? Haven’t I always been a good partner? Weren’t we happy?”

Mac’s fist slammed hard into the wall.

“You lied to me!”

“NO I WAS NEVER A TANGLEWOOD BOY!”

Turning slightly so as not to see the pain and anger radiating off Danny, Mac leaned against the wall and sighed.

“You’re a liar and a Messer”

That’s all it would take, Mac knew it. No looking back, no taking it back. No matter what happened, or how things played out after this, there was and is no way Danny will ever forgive him for that.

Picking himself up off the couch Danny grabbed his last bag. Not bothering to respond or look back. After all what could he say? Mac made his position clear. He’s a Messer, that automatically makes him a liar, a thief, a dirty cop. Danny closed the door softer then he thought possible and ran down the stairs to his car.

He would leave Mac alone, just like he wants. Tomorrow morning Mac will walk into his office and find his resignation, Danny will be gone. Somewhere that Messer means nothing. Somewhere he can start out fresh, new job, new place, and new friends.
