Summary
Detective Arroyo is called to an upscale New York townhouse one night to investigate a brutal murder. Cardiothoracic surgeon Martin Whitly has been brutally stabbed and was discovered by his son, Malcolm. When they meet the young man with a traumatic past it sparks feelings inside him that he hasn't felt since Jackie, and when the case keeps throwing them together Gil has to work hard to keep his emotions in check.
That all changes when his partner arrests Malcolm as their primary suspect, ignoring Malcolm's eye witness account of another assailant. All the evidence points to the Whitly's troubled son but Gil's instincts are telling him otherwise. Is Malcolm innocent or is Gil blinded by his growing attraction to the younger man?
Note on the MCD tag: The first scene is the aftermath of Martin's murder, he is not alive at any point in this fic.
