-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mac and Stella have always had a connection, whether people want to admit it or not, whether they are a shipper of SMacked or not, but these two go down deeper than portrayed on the show, they have the greatest amount of respect for each other and are a rock to the other. Mac was there for Stella when Frankie attacked her and when she thought she had HIV. Stella was there for Mac when Claire died and Mac wasn't able to do anything about it. Mac still cared for Stella deeply even when he was in a relationship with Peyton and would never let anyone hurt her.

What the Actors of CSI: NY have to say about SMACKed:

"Gary Sinise and I had lunch together way before we even started filming together. It was really nice because immediately we had a connection and were totally happy with one another." - Melina Kanakaredes

"They fit together. I always joke about the yin and the yang, it's a great team because they approach things differently, but at the end, you need each other. So, romantic or not romantic, I think there is that big brother kind of family thing... When you put two leads together, it's usually at the end of the run of the show, you know what I mean?" - Melina Kanakaredes

1x09 - Officer Blue: (Note: Some people state this episode as "the birth of SMacked") Stella loads the gun right in front of Mac faster than he can say anything. "Surplus issued AR15 semiautomatic gas operated shoulder rifle. Capable magazine, 5-40 rounds. In Stella talk its time to get the bullet out of the horse. End of conversation." At the end of the episode Stella and Mac have a little "chat" in the locker room. After, Stella holds out her hand and asks, "Friends?" and Mac and Stella shake hands.

Hello everyone! I have spoken to the ever lovely Notte and have graciously asked her permission if I could continue on with this blog. So I, Dannylover2009 would like to personally introduce myself as the successor of this Blog. I only hope that I can make this blog as wonderful as the wonderful Notte. So thank you Notte..I hope I can make you proud!

Hope you all enjoy, let me know what you think and welcome to the CSI:NY Blog!

Carmine Giovinazzo's Writing Debut!
I know that many people have been speaking of this in a few threads throughout the website but I figured that I would spread some light on this here in the blog.

From reading tweets from Hill Harper's Twitter page we confirm that Carmine Giovinazzo is debuting as a writer as well.

From Twitter:
"On set-Shooting Carmine's episode. Just finished stabbing a pig!! It started to smell under the hot lights!! I may become a vegetarian!! Lol" hillharper December 14th

@tonicate10Yes Carmine wrote this episode. Melina wrote 1 last yr. Carmine this yr. Its called "Sanguine Love" & its great!! He's talented!2:36 PM Dec 14thfromUberTwitter in reply to tonicate10

According to TV.com the episode "Sanguine Love" is the 14th episode of the season and should air on Wednesday, February 10, 2010. The description is as follows:

The CSIs team found themselves involved into the obscure world of modern vampirism cult in which blood sharing is at the core of an eccentric but allegedly spiritual brand of religion as a young woman is found dead by exanguination in the Central park snow, with her earlobe chopped and a puncture wound in her neck.

Speaking for myself look forward to seeing Carmine's debut as a writer. Last year we saw the writing of the wonderful Melina Kanakaredes in "Ground for Deception". Congrats Carmine! Hoping this is a great episode to add to the collection of some wonderful episodes of this series.

Fighting for Madeline

collegestudent23 — Sun, 27 Dec 2009 22:31:13 CST

“Happy Birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy Birthday dear daddy! Happy birthday to you!” eight year old Mckenna Briggs sang out loud, along with the rest of the family, as they sat bunched together in tiny breakfast nook that served as the main dining area.

“Blow out your candles Pete!” Sharon Briggs replied as she rubbed her husband’s back lovingly.

Pete Briggs closed his eyes tightly and wished. For a moment everything was silent enough to hear a pin drop through the room. Pete wished for the one thing he wanted most but was doubtless that would come true: his Maddy to come home. When he was done making his wish he blew out all fifty -six candles in two blows, knocking each orange-yellow flame to smoke! Everyone clapped and cheered. Sharon kissed her husband gently on the cheek.

“What did you wish for daddy?” Mckenna asked as she hugged him tightly and affectionately.

“Well if I told you then it wouldn’t come true!” Pete replied playfully to his daughter.

Everyone laughed when Pete said this. The laughter soon turned to somber silence as Pete and Sharon Briggs looked over at Madeline’s usual spot at the table.

A tear gently fell from Sharon Brigg’s face and her lip quivered ever so gently. Pete opened the catalogue that he had gotten from the Dade Funeral Home and started flipping through the catalogue to the solid dark brown oak casket that their daughter would possibly have to be placed in if she were found.

“Dr. Ray Langston told us to not get our hopes up that she’d still be alive or that we’ll even find her,” Pete replied, upset.

“We’ll find her Pete. Period. Dr. Langston said he’d call if there was an update in her case.”

“Yeah like the update he neglected to tell us about when he saw her in Las Vegas a few days ago,” Pete said, rolling his eyes in disgust.

“Pete,” Sharon said gently, “it wasn’t the right time.”

“Wasn’t the right time! She was with a cop!”

“It was a danger to her life if they got her at the time because if she tried to escape the people who have her would kill her!”

The room went silent.

After a moment or two a forced smile went over Pete Briggs face. “Hey I know what we can do. How about we get that ginger bread kit that mom bought you for your birthday back in August and make some gingerbread cookies, okay?”

“Okay!” McKenna smiled, her face lighting up as bright as the Christmas tree at Rockefeller Plaza.

The evening was spent mixing and making enough cookie batter for a full batch of gingerbread cookies. Then came the gingerbread cookie cutters that cut different shapes and sizes of gingerbread boys and girls. McKenna and her parents decorated each one to perfection. When it came to the last cookie McKenna looked at it thoughtfully.

“I’m gonna decorate this one especially for Maddy. She’s not dead. She’s alive mommy, I feel her. I know she is! She just has to be. “

With that said, McKenna picked up the different colored frostings. She gave Madeline’s gingerbread cookie long white gingerbread girl frosting hair and decorated the gingerbread girl’s dress with colorful squiggles and red and green sprinkles and red dot candy for buttons, three in a row. Then she decorated a white frosting smile on her face with two small, frosted eyes, a big smile and a pointy nose. When she finished she looked back and admired her work.

“Maddy’s gonna love this!” McKenna said, with a smile on her face.

“Honey, Maddy may not come home,” Sharon replied.

“Of course she is mommy! You said yourself the police would find her. I know she is! And I’m going to save this cookie for her to prove it!”

“Ok,” Sharon Briggs replied weakly, while her husband just stared off into space with tears in his eyes.

After they put the cookies in the oven and while they were baking they had Pete’s favorite dinner: baby back ribs with honey barbeque sauce, corn on the cob, and Ceasar salad.

“Make sure you watch the stove while we eat McKenna, you don’t want those cookies to burn, especially the one you made for Madeline,” Sharon Briggs told her daughter.

The dinner hour ticked by silently as the Briggs family sat, eating and not saying anything. It didn’t take long for them to finish their meal and before long they moved onto the birthday cake McKenna had helped her mother make earlier for her father. An unusual stillness was in the air, followed by a deep down feeling of utter loneliness. Madeline’s absence could be felt all around and it wasn’t long before everyone finished their cake and McKenna and her mother were clearing the table and doing dishes together. A little while later the oven timer dinged, signaling the cookies were done.

As Sharon Brigg’s grabbed two pot holders in either hand and removed the cookies from the oven she felt a gentle tug on her apron. As she turned around she saw McKenna behind her, a gentle and hopeful look in her eyes.

“Mommy, it’s gonna be okay, I promise.”

Sharon pulled her daughter close to her and held her tight, hugging her as if she wouldn’t let go, enjoying her embrace. She kissed McKenna’s forehead.

“I know it is baby, I know it is.”

The rest of the evening was spent until late that night watching movies and playing board games while trying to take their mind off Madeline being gone. McKenna ended up falling asleep on the couch and Sharon Briggs carried her daughter upstairs, tucking her into bed, and heaving a huge sigh. After she was sure McKenna was asleep she went to leave the room. As she was turning to go she happened to see Madeline’s bed across from McKenna’s in the light pink painted room they shared, unoccupied and abandoned.

The wooden bedframe painted mint green and consumed by the same pink, white, yellow, and green print quilt as McKenna’s looked too neatly made for comfort. Medals from Madeline’s cheerleading competitions hung on one of the mint green bed posts and as Sharon Briggs came closer to the bed she gently caressed one of the pillows with her finger while observing the carefully organized webkinz collection at the foot of the bed. Sharon felt a tight knot in her stomach and a pain in her chest as she cried softly to herself. She wanted her Maddy back! Sharon fell across the bed and laid there while holding one of Maddie’s web kinzs. It was the cocoa colored chocolate lab web kinz and Maddy’s favorite one, the first one she had gotten five years ago at thirteen when she first started collecting them.

Even though most of the web kinzs had names Maddy had renamed all of them with the names she wanted. This particular one she named Hershey. As Sharon held Hershey near and dear to her, rolled in a fetal position on Maddy’s bed she stroked the stuffed animal and kissed it, as if it were like holding and kissing Maddy.

“She’s gonna be home soon Hershey, I promise,” Sharon whispered to the plush toy.

Pete Briggs yawned downstairs and was getting ready to go up to bed when the wall phone in their kitchen rang.

“Hello,” Pete replied as he held the phone up to his ear.

“Mr. Briggs I presume,” a deep male voice answered.

“Yes this is him. Whose this?”

“Mr. Briggs this is Dr. Ray Langston from the Las vegas Crime lab. I’m calling to say I’ve found your daughter.“

Pete’s heart skipped a beat. This was the call he’d been hoping and praying for, for the past week. Well actually the past three months since Madeline had disappeared from the Miami Shores Mall when she was out with a friend.

“Great I guess we’ll go down to the morgue and identify her.”

“that won’t be necessary Mr. Briggs.”

“Why? Aren’t I supposed to when you find a body?”

“Yes that would be necessary if Madeline was dead but she’s not. She’s very much alive and she’s at the hospital right now getting processed by our team and a full medical and psychological examination. You can come visit her but the doctors may wanna keep her for a little while to make sure she’s okay.”

Pete briggs collapsed in a nearby kitchen chair at the breakfast nook. He was numb with disbelief. He couldn’t believe it. A warm rush of happiness and relief flooded through him. It was truly a miracle!

“Is, is there anything Sharon or myself needs to do or anything like that?”

“Maybe pack a little bag for Madeline with an outfit for going home along with some things that are familiar to her.”

“Okay. I’ll, I’ll tell my wife,” Pete replied, still surprised. “And Dr. Langston?”

“Yes?”

“Thank you. Thank you very much! One of us will be on the next flight out.”

“You’re welcome. I guess we’ll see you in Vegas.”

I guess you will, by Dr. Langston.”

“Goodbye.”

After Pete hung up the phone he practically ran upstairs to Madeline and McKenna’s room.

“Sharon! Sharon!” Pete replied as he approached the girls’ bedroom. “They found Madeline! And she’s alive!”

Sharon Briggs lay motionless on the bed, thinking that she was dreaming, not hearing at first what her husband was saying.

“Sharon! Didn’t you hear me? Our little girl’s alive! Sharon!” Pete replied, shaking his wife hard.

After a moment or two Sharon finally came to and rolled off the bed. With tears in her eyes she collapsed in her husband’s arms, hugging and kissing him as if she wouldn’t stop.

“Is this really true?” Sharon asked weakly.

“Yes it is! Ray says she’s at the hospital having psychological and medical examinations. We can come see her when we get there as soon as they’re done examining her.”

“Is there anything we need to do?” Sharon asked, in disbelief.

“We just need to pack some clothes for Madeline and stuff that’s familiar to her and that reminds her of home.”

Together Sharon and Pete went around Madeline’s room gathering up some of her favorite jeans, sweaters, tops, socks, and shoes. They gathered up Hershey and her web kinz kitten Muffy and put it in Maddy’s favorite pink travel suitcase that was light pink on the body and had a pink bow with white polkadots on it. They also packed some pink toiletries.

Pete agreed to stay in Miami with McKenna while Sharon went to Las Vegas to be with Madeline. As Sharon packed her suitcase she couldn’t believe it. She pinched herself several times to make sure that it wasn’t a dream.

“You all set honey,” Pete asked as Sharon finished packing her suitcase.

“Yeah just about.”

After Sharon had zipped her suitcase up Pete drove Sharon in the Brigg’s four door sedan to the airport. After she’d checked in hers and Madeline’s suitcases she kissed her husband goodbye and got ready to board the plane.

“Bye Petie! I love you.”

“I love you to. Call me as soon as you get to the hospital. Okay?”

“I will.”

“Can you believe she’s coming home?” Pete asked.

“ No I can’t. It still doesn’t feel real.”

Sharon and Pete Briggs kissed and embraced one more time before Sharon disappeared into the airline terminal. As Pete watched her disappear into the terminal a lump formed in his throat. Home, maddie was gonna be home at last.

****************

A nurse guided Madeline into an examining room at Las Vegas Memorial Hospital. She was still wearing the dress and shoes that her pimp had forced her to wear and that Ray Langston had found her in. As she stood, shifting uncomfortably on the hospital’s granite floors, Ray explained what was going to happen during her time in the hospital. While he talked Madeline looked down at her feet, not wanting to stare Ray in the face.

“Madeline your injuries are going to be photographed by one of our investigators. Then they’ll collect any trace off you. You’ll be examined by a nurse and doctor. They’ll do an internal exam on you of your pelvis and vaginal area. You’ll probably have to have a pap smear test as well as an ultra sound of the area to make sure that you’re okay from the miscarriage. They’ll also want to run some blood tests on you for HIV and AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases that you might have gotten from being a prostitute. They’ll also do a regular physical examination to make sure your overall health is okay. After your physical examination you’ll have a thorough psychological examination which will be done by a psychiatrist. Now before we begin do you have any questions?”

Madeline shook her head while still looking down at the ground and trying not to cry. It was hard. She kept clenching and unclenching her fists as she fought to keep back the tears. Don’t be a baby Madeline! Don’t cry! Madeline thought blinking her eyes several times. Madeline shook her head while still looking down.

“Are you sure?” Ray asked. “No questions, no answers.”

Madeline nodded while still looking down. Ray gently put her chin in his hand and lifted her head up.

“Madeline, it’s gonna be okay,” Ray said sympathetically, “I promise.”

As she made eye contact with Ray again, the tears she had been holding back fell in a steady stream, gushing out like Niagara Falls. Her lips trembled and she shook all over. Ray Langston hugged her close and just held her for a few minutes, trying to calm her down. As they embraced, his colleague, CSI Catherine Willows came in.

“Take as long as you need sweetie,” Catherine told Madeline. Madeline said a meek okay as she continued to embrace in Ray’s arms. After a moment or two, Madeline took a few deep breaths and was able to regain her composure.

“You can change into your hospital gown in here,” a brunett haired, female Asian nurse said as she led her to the bathroom. After Madeline had changed she came hesitantly out of the bathroom, and slowly and steadily eased her way onto the examining table.

“Madeline, I’m just going to take some photos of you and your injuries. It’s okay, I won’t hurt you,” Catherine explained to her kindly.

“Okay,” Madeline said, a slight nervousness in her voice. Even as she sat at the examining table she trembled, scared and unsure. Her lips quivered uncontrollably as the tears continued to stream down her face, running in small rivers.

“Nurse, can you help me with her gown?” Catherine asked.

“Sure,” the nurse replied as she came forward.

As the nurse and Catherine came forward to touch Madeline she cringed.

“It’s alright honey, we need to take your gown off to photograph your injuries,” Catherine replied.

Madeline’s lips continued to shake and tears rolled down her cheeks as her gown was removed and various photographs were taken of her and her injuries. Her whole body trembled as she was checked for trace and the trace samples collected. They even observed some of her injuries under ultraviolet light and photographed them..

“All done,” Catherine said as she finished processing her.

Madeline breathed a sigh of relief but continued to sniffle as the nurse helped her back into her gown.

“You okay Madeline?” the nurse asked, patting her arm gently.

“Could, could we please stop. I, I’d feel better if my mom was here when the doctor examined me. It’s, it’s a woman right?” Madeline stuttered between sobs.

“Yes it is. I’ll let the doctor know so that we can hold off until mom gets here and respect your wishes,” the nurse replied. “You can lay on one of our nice warm beds. You don’t have to wait on the examining table.”

“thanks,” Madeline replied as she tucked herself under the covers of one of the beds nearby.

The nurse left the room and as she approached the lobby to talk to the doctor Ray took her aside and asked, “how’s she doing?”

“She’s scared. She wants us to wait on examining her body until her mother gets here,” the nurse replied. “Do you know what time Mrs. Brigg’s flight is scheduled to get in?”

“Around three AM,” Ray replied.

“That’s a few hours away. I’ll let the doctor hold off till then to make sure she’s okay emotionally.”

“Thank you nurse.”

Ray wandered back to Madeline’s room and observed her through the doorway. Madeline was still sobbing softly and holding the blankets of the bed close to her for security while laying there vulnerable, her whole body trembling.

“Poor thing’s traumatized,” Catherine said as she joined him.

“Understandable. Lord only knows what she’s been through,” Ray replied. Both Ray and Catherine continued to observe her for a few more minutes while shaking their heads.

“I’ll stay with her till her mother gets here,” ray replied.

“You sure?” Catherine asked.

“Yes.”

After Catherine left Ray held Madeline’s hand and spoke to her gently.

“It’s gonna be alright Madeline. It’s gonna be alright. You’ll be okay.”

“Will you stay with me until I fall asleep?” Madeline asked tearfully.

“Yes, as long as you need me to,” Ray replied kindly.

Sometime during the night Madeline fell asleep. Ray Langston continued to hold Madeline’s hand and watch her sleep. Poor thing needs a father figure, Ray thought, I hope her dad will step up to the challenge. He would have left her but he promised her he’d stay there with her. So there he stood, holding her hand and watching her as she slept, breathing calmly and evenly.

Meanwhile, at Las Vegas International airport…

Mrs. Brigg’s plane just skimmed the ground of the Las Vegas International airport. As she looked out the window, excitement and anticipation welled up inside of her and with each movement the plane made, it seemed as though her excitement began to grow. The plane bumped along the runway another few feet before coming to an abrupt stop. She’s coming home! She’s actually coming home! Mrs. Briggs thought eagerly. After getting off the plane she went to baggage claim and got her luggage and Madeline’s. Then she went to the waiting cab at the curb.

“Where to?” the cab driver asked after she had gotten in the car and put her luggage in the trunk.

“Las Vegas Memorial hospital please, thanks.”

As Mrs. Briggs rode to the hospital a whole bunch of emotions welled up inside her and tossed around her head as if they were frothy ocean waves. She felt as if she were meeting her for the first time. Would Madeline come to her with open arms? Or would what happened to her cause her to be distant and pulling away, worried that her mother and her family may not accept her? Most importantly, Sharon Briggs thought, would she still be Maddy or would she be so changed that I won’t recognize my own daughter? So many questions weighed down on her mind, like lead weights, that it put a damper on her day. Her worries and fears kept her silent and deep in thought the whole cab ride to the hospital. When the cab pulled up in front of the hospital Sharon stepped nervously out of the cab and grabbed her suitcases from the trunk of the cab, paid the driver, and wheeled the suitcases through the hospital’s gigantic, automatic, sliding doors. She walked several feet into the lobby before coming to a rather large reception area with a gorgeous receptionist sitting behind the computer and paper ridden desk. The long blond hair was pulled back in a single ponytail. She wore a lacy white blouse with a black dress skirt. Her makeup was lightly distributed on her face and when she smiled she revealed a row of perfectly white teeth. The hospital itself gave off a happy presence with its cheery white walls with colorful landscape pictures hung all over. The lobby had various colorful couches and chairs in pastel colors and flower plants all over. Mrs. Briggs smiled. She had a good feeling that her Maddy was being well taken care of at this hospital.
“May I help you?” the receptionist asked in a genuine sweet voice.

“Yes, I’m here for my daughter. She was admitted last night.”

“Okay and her name please?”

“Madeline Briggs.”

“I’ll check the patient log.” Sharon Briggs waited impatiently for a few minutes while the young receptionist, who looked only a few years older than Madeline, thumbed through the patient logs.

“Ah here we go,” she replied, “Madeline Briggs. She hasn’t been admitted to a room yet. She’s still in the examining room on the first floor. I can take you to her if you’d like.”

Sharon followed the receptionist through more corridors and hallways and around corners until they came to the examining room area.

“Here we go. Madeline should be in exam room A. Okay?”

“Okay thank you.”

“You’re welcome. If you need anything else let me know okay?”

“Okay I will.”

The receptionist went back the way they’d came to her desk to continue working while Sharon walked up and down trying to find exam room A where her daughter was. When she finally found it she went quietly into the room. She noticed Madeline was asleep and Dr. Langston had fallen asleep at her bedside while holding her hand. Seeing her Maddy drifting away in dreamland, so peaceful and serene, she gently stroked her daughter’s hair and kissed her cheek, not being able to resist doing so. She’d missed her so much! Bending down by her bedside Mrs. Briggs took Maddy’s hand in hers and squeezed it tight, not wanting to let go for a second.

“I love you Maddy. Sleep tight. I have something for you,” Mrs. Briggs whispered in her daughter’s ear. She opened Madeline’s suitcase and got out her web kinz chocolate lab, Hershey and gently tucked the plush toy in the crook of her daughter’s arm. Then, even though she knew Madeline was too old for it, she sang her daughter “Brahm’s Lullabye” like she did when Maddy was a baby, toddler, and preschooler and had bad dreams. As she sang, tears ran down her face. She was with her daughter at last!

Mrs. Briggs continued to sing in a fluid, melodious voice, that was sweet and mellifluous while holding her daughter’s hand lovingly but firmly.She continued to sing with tender loving care to her daughter a few more minutes.Then, she felt Madeline squeeze her hand gently back.Mrs. Briggs continued to serenade her daughter softly and affectionately as Madeline’s eyes fluttered opened and a smile went across her face.

“Mommy, mommy!” Madeline whispered excitedly as she reached up to her mother and embraced her in one quick movement.

“Madeline! Oh my sweet little Maddy!” Mrs. Briggs cried softly as she and her daughter held each other tight, glued together through the biological bonds of love that held them.Both had tears of joy in streaming down their face and recognized the need for one another and the relief that both could see each other again.Ray woke up to see them embracing and a broad smile went across his face.Rather than say anything he quietly left them together in the examining room to bond a few minutes more.Both cried and cried not wanting to let go of each other for a second, fearing that if they did it would all be a dream and they would never see each other again.Dr. Anne Webster, the doctor who would be doing Madeline’s pelvic and female as well as physical exam joined Ray.She happened to be making rounds and was coming to the exam room to check on Madeline.Together Ray and she watched mother and daughter cuddling in each other’s arms for a moment or two.

“I take it that’s Mrs. Briggs.” Dr. Webster replied.

“Yes,” Ray said.

“When did she arrive at the hospital?”

“Just a little while ago.”

“I’ll need to talk to mom before I examine Madeline so that she’s aware of what’s going on with her daughter.”

Ray gave a discreet yawn.

“You should go home and get some rest,” Dr. Webster said.

“I feel as though I need to be here,” Ray replied.“I feel it’s my responsibility to make sure Madeline is alright.So, please, if you don’t mind, I’d like to be there with her mother and her.”

“That’s fine,” Dr. Webster replied.“Shall we go in and talk to mom and Madeline?”

“Yes, lets.”

Dr. Webster went in a business like manner into the exam room followed by Ray Langston.
Madeline and her mom looked up from their embrace in surprise as Ray and Dr. Webster walked into the exam room.

“Hi, are you Mrs. Briggs?” Dr. Webster asked.

“yes I am,” Sharon Briggs replied.“Who are you?”

“I’m Madeline’s doctor. I’ll be doing a physical exam on Madeline as well as a pelvic and female internal exam.She’ll need a pap smear and an ultra sound as well as some blood tests to check for HIV,” Dr. Webster explained to Mrs. Briggs.“Now your daughter already knows about the exams and the tests…”

“Why does she need all this?” Mrs.Briggs asked, angry, confused, and upset.“Why can’t I just bring her home?Why would Maddy have HIV?I don’t understand! She’s a healthy kid!”

“Mrs.Briggs,” Dr. Webster continued to explain, calmly and patiently. “Your daughter has been through quite an ordeal.We can’t just do a basic physical exam on her and have her in and out, it’s more in depth than that.“

“I know she’s been through quite an ordeal!” Mrs. Briggs snapped. “That’s why she needs to be home with her family instead of in some hospital where she’s poked and prodded by doctors.”

“Mrs. Briggs please allow me to finish,” Dr. Webster replied coolly.“Your daughter was taken by human traffickers and forced into prostitution, which, yes, she did participate in.She was also sedated by those traffickers intravenously and the needle they used could have been infected.There is also evidence to suggest that your daughter was artificially inseminated with sperm so that she could carry and bear a child for someone to buy on the black market due to the fact that she was pregnant.She miscarried and lost the baby though which is why I have to do an internal exam on her to make sure she is expelling the tissues from the miscarriage properly because if she isn’t she will need surgery.”

“My Maddy was not a prostitute!Nor did she carry a baby!I don’t believe this! Maddy we’re getting out of here! You’re going home! Come on! I don’t believe any of this!”

Sharon Briggs angrily jerked her daughter’s arm and pulled her out of the hospital bed she was in.She thrust a pair of jeans, and a light blue babydoll Tee with a white Persian cat on the front of it in her hands.Madeline just stood there speechless while her mother repacked the web kinz’s in her suitcase.

“Mrs. Briggs! As her doctor I will not allow you to let Madeline leave this hospital!” Dr. Webster responded, her temper rising.

“She doesn’t need a doctor! She needs her mother!” Mrs. Briggs said, in an emotionally distraught, high pitched voice.

“Mrs. Briggs, get Madeline back into bed! I need to examine her!” Dr. Webster commanded, in a voice indicating she was clearly annoyed with this woman.

“No!” Mrs. Briggs said, hugging Madeline to her tightly, tears in her eyes.“Can’t you see? She’s scared and she wants to go home!”

“Mrs. Briggs! You’re not doing what is best for Madeline by taking her home!”

“Oh I’m not, am I?” Mrs. Briggs fumed.“Well you may have your medical degree but I know my daughter and I think I know what’s best for her.I also know she didn’t do those things you said she did!Maddy’s a good girl!”

“Mrs. Briggs!” Dr. Webster said, outraged, “Clearly you’re in denial!”

That got Mrs. Briggs on a rampage of complaints towards Dr. Webster.The two women continued to have a shouting match back and forth for several minutes.Ray Langston and Madeline just stood there silently, not knowing what to do.Finally, the yelling got to be too much and Madeline started to cry quietly and put her hands over her ears to block out the noise.The arguing continued to go on for several minutes, with Madeline’s head in a whirl wind and her ears ringing from the noise.

“Stop it! All of you!”Madeline shrieked tearfully at the top of her lungs.

Dr. Webster and Mrs. Briggs stopped and stared at Madeline.

“I know I was a prostitute! You don’t have to remind me,” Madeline said tearfully.“And yes I was pregnant! Yes I did miscarry! Just please stop! Don’t do this mom!Please! I need you! I need you,” Madeline sobbed.She sank down onto the warm hospital bed and cried, not being able to stop.

“Maddy! My sweet little Maddy!” Mrs. Briggs exclaimed as she came to her daughter’s side and hugged her close.

“I’m sorry mommy! I’m so sorry” Madeline sobbed.

“Shsh, it’s alright Maddy.It’s alright. I love you anyway and I always will, no matter what you have done.It’s just, it’s just hard for me to accept.”

“I know it’s hard for you to accept Mrs. Briggs and I know that this whole ordeal has been hard on Madeline.However please try to just love her and stay by her side.She needs you to love her and do what’s right for her and that doesn’t include fighting with the doctor who is trying to help her.Please, Mrs. Briggs, let Dr. Webster do her job,” Ray replied.“For Madeline’s sake.”
“Please mom,” Madeline sniffled.

Mrs.Briggs paused for a moment and then, as she relaxed, replied, “Okay. I will. For your sake, Madeline.”

“See,” Ray replied. “That wasn’t so hard was it?”

Mrs. Briggs nodded in agreement.

“Alright Maddy, I’m gonna do your physical first okay and then we’ll do the internal exam, okay?” Dr. Webster explained.

Madeline nodded to show she understood.

“alright Madeline first thing I’m gonna do is weigh you and make sure you’re healthy in that regards and not malnourished,” Dr. Webster continued to explain as she got her rubber doctor gloves on to examine Madeline.

Madeline stepped on the manual scale. She waited a moment or two while Dr. Webster adjusted it. When the scale balanced Dr. Webster recorded Madeline’s weight.

“Well you’re a little skinnier than I’d like to see but you’re not malnourished from what I can tell,” Dr. Webster replied in response to her weight.

After Madeline was weighed, Dr. Webster took her temperature and blood pressure, both of which were normal. Then Dr. Webster checked her eyes.

“Madeline I need you to follow my finger okay,” Dr. Webster said, after she had looked into Madeline’s pupils with a light. Madeline did as she was told and Dr. Webster recorded a clean bill of health for vision. Dr. Webster examined both Madeline’s ears and then moved onto examine her throat.

“Madeline, can you say aaaaah for me?” Dr. Webster asked.

Madeline did as she was told and Dr. Webster examined her throat for a few moments.

“Well your throat looks normal,” Dr. Webster replied. “Now lets see your pulse and your heart and lungs.”

Dr. Webster proceeded to take Madeline’s pulse and then, after doing so, listened to her heart and lungs with a stethoscope.

“Take a deep breath for me Madeline,” Dr. Webster requested. Madeline did. “Good. Well you’re surprisingly healthy considering what your body has been through. So far at least.”

The physical exam continued as Dr. Webster did a few reflex tests on her and recorded the results. Afterwards she had Madeline read various letter E’s off a chart and then recorded her progress.

“Alright Madeline, I need you to lay back on the examining table so that I can check your belly and the area where you get menstrual cramps for any aches and pains, okay? Now when press down gently on those areas of your tummy and down there, I want you to tell me if you feel any pain okay?”

“Okay,” Madeline replied.

Dr. Webster felt around by gently pressing on her belly and down in the area where menstrual cramps reside.

“Ow, that hurts!” Madeline cried softly as Dr. Webster pressed in the area down below.

Dr. Webster charted the area where Madeline felt pain and made a note to examine her carefully in that area when she did the internal exam on her.

“Madeline I’m gonna take a couple tubes full of blood so that I can test you for HIV, Hepatitis C, anemia, and her hormone levels, okay? Now Madeline you’re going to feel a slight pinch when I stick you with the needle, okay?”

Dr. Webster poked around for Madeline’s vein. When she found a good spot to stick her with the needle she poured alcohol on a cotton ball and rubbed it on Madeline’s skin. Madeline shuddered at the coldness of the alcohol on her arm. Separating Madeline’s skin and flattening it Dr. Webster very gently stuck the needle in her arm and the vile connected to it started to fill with blood. Dr. Webster clotted her arm after she was done with the first blood sample.

“You doing okay Madeline?” Dr. Webster asked.

“Yeah,” Madeline responded.

Dr. Webster stuck her with the needle again and Madeline watched intently as the second vile started to fill with more of her blood. The way Dr. Webster took her blood only hurt a little. She had a way of doing it that made Madeline not so uncomfortable. Madeline thought back to one of the trucking traffickers who had sedated her with a needle and jammed it into her arm. It had hurt a lot and she’d even had blood coming out of her arm. Madeline cringed at the memory. She’d been sedated so that the trafficker could have control of her. Oh well, Madeline thought, whoever that trucker was, he was out of her life, she’d been rescued and was safe. I have to think of that. I have to! She was not only safe she would also get to go home. A lump swelled in Madeline’s throat at the thought! Go home. The words seemed bitter sweet on her tongue as she thought about them. She could finally go home and be with her family. She smiled at the thought.

“All done Madeline,” Dr. Webster stated cheerfully. “Now the next part Madeline is going to be a bit uncomfortable not only physically but emotionally and psychologically as well because I have to examine you in your female area. I want you to know that if at any point in the exam you feel uncomfortable you let me know and I can stop, okay?”

“Okay,” Madeline said, a slight quake in her voice, and tears filling in her eyes.

“It’s okay baby,” Mrs. Briggs told Madeline as she took her daughter’s hand and squeezed it tight. “I’m right here honey, just like I was for your physical exam. I’m right here. It’s okay.”

Seeing her mother clutching her hand tightly and lovingly made Madeline feel a lot better and she relaxed a bit as she lay back on the examining table. Dr. Webster separated Madeline’s legs and put them up in the stirrups. As she examined Madeline’s pelvic area and inside her vagina, poking around lightly in there with her fingers, Madeline squeezed her mother’s hand tighter and tighter. Her mother responded by squeezing her hand just as tight with one hand and stroking her hair with the other. Madeline’s tears continued to flow freely while her whole body started to tremble again, the way it did when CSI was photographing her and checking her for trace.

“Shsh!” Mrs. Briggs responded lovingly, tears in her own eyes. “It’ll all be over soon. It’ll all be over soon. I promise.”

Dr. Webster stayed examining her pelvic and vaginal area for several minutes. The longer she stayed examining her the more scared she became and the tighter she squeezed her mother’s hand. Madeline continued to sob and her whole body kept shaking all over. Her mother tried her best to comfort her in the position she was in but Madeline kept trembling and sobbing regardless.

“Everything, okay Madeline, you wanna take a break?” Dr. Webster asked while continuing Madeline’s examination.

“No, I wa, wa, wanna get it o, o, over with,” Madeline choked between sobs.

“Okay, if you’re sure,” Dr. Webster checked sympathetically.

“I’m sure,” Madeline replied, trying to make her voice sound brave.
“Okay,” Dr. Webster replied, and then finished her pelvic and internal exam.

The pap smear test came next and took twice as long as her internal exam. Madeline cringed at all the scraping and swabbing that Dr. Webster had to do. She shut her eyes tight and continued to squeeze her mother’s hand while her pap test was being done. It was scary but soon over. Afterwards she was swabbed with a Q-tip in her cervix for STD’s. Before each procedure Dr. Webster explained everything they were going to do to her. Madeline was grateful for Dr. Webster doing that but it didn’t make her anymore comfortable. While she was being examined she stayed frozen stiff, while in tears the entire time. Dr. Webster continued her examination with an ultra sound and then, a collection of cervical cells.

“Now Madeline for the next test it’s not going to hurt but it won’t be comfortable. It’ll feel a little cold and you’ll feel a slight pinch.”

When Dr. Webster did the procedure Madeline did feel uncomfortable but not entirely in pain. She squeezed her mom’s hand and leaned her head up against her mother until it was over. Through it all her mother was right there, stroking her hair, kissing her forehead, holding her hand, and saying words of encouragement to get her through it. Dr. Webster did an ultrasound next and Madeline continued to lay there for several more minutes.

“Almost done Madeline,” Dr. Webster replied. Dr. Webster did the ultrasound a few more minutes and then poked and prodded in her vaginal area some more.

“All done,” Dr. Webster replied as she took her doctor gloves off when the vaginal exam was over.

Madeline breathed a sigh of relief. It was over. It was all over. Now she just needed an evaluation from the shrink and home. Madeline and her mother bonded together a few minutes more while waiting for Madeline’s test results from the pelvic and internal exams, as well as the blood tests to come back. They ended up waiting over three hours. Finally Dr. Webster came back in the room, a concerned look on her face.

“Mrs. Briggs I’d like to speak to you alone before I speak to Madeline,” Dr. Webster replied gravely.

“What is it? What’s wrong with Maddy? She’s okay right? Oh please tell me she’s okay!” Mrs. Briggs sobbed, tears rolling rapidly down her cheeks.

“Just please come into my office so I can speak to you a minute,” Dr. Webster told Sharon Briggs calmly.

2x06 (Young Blood): Danny and Lindsay are in the lab looking over some evidence, it's a set of chopsticks that have paper and an elastic band attached to them. Lindsay asks Danny if he would like the paper or the rubber band. He takes the paper because there, "Might be something on it." After looking over the evidence, Lindsay finishes first, leaving a very gob-smacked Danny.

2x07 (Manhattan Manhunt): After a very violent crime is committed and the team arrives Lindsay is quickly sent back to the lab by Mac. She is very unhappy, and soon her mood is made even worse when Danny comes into the lab she is working in. He calls her Montana, and she becomes very angry at him, telling him that she doesn't want to be the brunt of his jokes. He apologizes and tells her that Mac only sent her back to the lab because he was concerned about her. He didn't want her to see that much blood. Lindsay tells Danny that she has seen blood a lot worse than that. This is the first sign that is given to the audience that Lindsay has a dark secret.

2x08 (Bad Beat): Danny, Hawkes and Adam are watching a video of a man and woman having sex. It was a Walrus Documentary that had been taped over. Lindsay, who is passing by the lab, is intrigued by the sounds coming from the TV, so she comes to investigate what the three men are looking at. She asks Danny if it is footage from his 30th birthday party. He tells her that it was a Walrus documentary and she soon begins to watch with them. Since the tape is so garbled, it's hard to look at. Lindsay wonders out loud who the other "walrus" is.

2x09 (City Of The Dolls): The owner of a doll hospital is killed in his store and is stumbled upon by a young boy. Danny and Lindsay work together for this one, and it is clear that the two of them are starting to have feelings for each other. They are discussing the case, and Lindsay says the doll that the victim was clutching onto could have just been used to defend himself but Danny disagrees. He goes on to explain that the grip on the doll was too tight. Taking Lindsay's hand to explain his theory, he finishes but continues to hold her hand. Once realizing what he is doing, Lindsay quickly pulls her hand out of Danny's. Danny nervously asks her if she would like to get lunch with him, but she tells him that she has to get back to the lab. He says he must get back also, trying to cover up his disappointment at being rejected. Later on, when they visit a suspect's home, Lindsay starts to take her shoes off. Danny looks at her and says, "What are you doing? You don't gotta do that." Lindsay replies with, "I was taught that if you show someone a little respect, you might get more than what you came for." Danny then says, "You play good cop, I'll play bad cop, and I'll keep my shoes on." Lindsay says, "Guess you never grew up with hardwood floors." Danny replies with, "No, I didn't actually. I grew up with Bronx Marble." Lindsay says, "What's that?" Danny answers, "It's Linoleum."

2x11 (Trapped): Danny gets trapped in a panic room with a dead body, and no one can get him out for several hours. Lindsay is worried about him and asks Mac if he is doing okay.

2x13 (Risk): Danny finds a body on the tracks of the subway on his way home. He meets up with Mac who is dressed formally, telling Danny that he was at a fundraiser for the mayor. Soon Lindsay arrives at the crime scene wearing a lovely blue dress. Danny is clearly attracted to her and says "Well, hello Miss Monroe. You clean up nice," and wonders if she has too has been to the party, but she informs him that she has just come from the opera. Danny replies with, "I am hanging out with all the wrong people, you know that?" Later on, once going to question the victim's roommate, a girl there smiles at Danny seductively. Danny just looks at her, and soon receives a warning, in the form of a throat-clearing, from Lindsay. Perhaps she's a little jealous? Then the victim's roommate runs from them, and Lindsay and Danny run after him. After Danny nabs the fleeing suspect, he compliments Lindsay, saying "Nice collar, Monroe" because she managed to pull the shirt off the fleeing suspect. They seem to be friendlier with each other now.

2x14 (Stuck On You): Danny and Lindsay work a case where a man is found dead on the street, his face covered in glue. In this episode, they get along great, and Lindsay even makes him laugh. When Mac tells Danny to stick to the evidence, he replies, "Like glue", which causes Mac to chuckle. Lindsay tells Danny that Mac doesn't find it funny and that he's humoring Danny. Danny tells Lindsay that she doesn't know Mac like he does. At the end of the episode, Lindsay is sitting in a bar alone, obviously waiting on someone though. Soon Danny walks in and sits down with her. He automatically thinks that they are on a date until Lindsay points to the stage, where Mac is playing guitar. She tells Danny that he probably doesn't know Mac as well as he thought, and all Danny does is smile and agree.

2x15 (Fare Game): Just a cute moment at the end of this episode. The team is gathered in the break room, around a table filled with entrees made from bugs. Apparently there was a bet going to see if Lindsay would eat any of it. Lindsay then takes a bite of fried tarantula. When the group is surprised, she says, "What? It's just protein." Danny then hands Mac some money, looks at Lindsay, and says "What was I thinking? Shouldn’t bet against a country girl." After everyone else leaves for pizza in Mac's office, Danny and Lindsay stay behind. Danny then suggests trying the grasshopper chutney, and passes it to her, and then suggests the wasp tamale and the mealworm spaghetti.

2x16 (Cool Hunter): Although the two are working separate cases, Lindsay asks Danny to help her with her case by getting him to carry her across a roof to do a re-enactment. She promises him drinks for helping her, but he tries to get her into having dinner with him too.

2x22 (Stealing Home): Danny and Lindsay work a case together where a young girl from Montana is found dead, dressed as a mermaid. While looking at Sid's findings in the autopsy, Lindsay asks if Danny calls her "Montana" because she's a 49ers fan. Sid tells her that he calls her that because he has a crush on her. She just smiles and blushes. Lindsay gets emotionally involved with the case, and once the murderer is caught and sent to jail, she still feels restless. Mac tells her that Danny told him she did good in the case. Lindsay then goes to speak to the girl's murderer and asks him why he killed her. He doesn't say anything.

She has a deep cut on her head, and Danny becomes concerned about her. Later they work on a piece of evidence together, sitting rather close to each other. At the end of the episode, Danny asks Lindsay if she still wants a ride home. She smiles and says yes. They leave together smiling. (There is an unaired scene between these 2, which includes an unaired kiss, possibly their first....Look for it on www.cbs.com or Youtube).

Season 3

3x02 (Not What It Looks Like): In this episode, Danny's true feelings for Lindsay are shown. When 3 girls rob a jewelry store dressed like Holly Golightly, from " Breakfast at Tiffany's", their lives are put in serious danger because they have stolen blood diamonds. After one of the girls is shot dead, and another is taken hostage, it is up to the third to save her. When she arrives at the apartment block, she is greeted by the team and soon arrested. Screaming that if she doesn't get the diamonds back to their owner, her friend will die, but it's too dangerous. Lindsay takes it upon herself to go in as the young girl undercover, to which Danny is none to pleased about. As she is getting ready to go in, Danny corners her and pleads with her not to do it, but Lindsay refuses to listen to him. With one last look, she enters the building. Danny, Flack and Stella sit in a van outside, listening to everything that is going on inside with Lindsay. When Lindsay's cover is blown, and she has a gun pointed in her face, Danny is first out of the van to run to her rescue. Knowing that she is in danger, Lindsay drops a flash bomb, and the whole room is filled with smoke. She jumps and saves the girl taken hostage as Danny, Flack and Stella burst through the doors with a bunch of cops. Forgetting about everything else around about him, Danny searches through the smoke and dust for Lindsay. He keeps crying her name, and when he hears her say his name, he puts his gun away and helps her off the ground. He strokes her hair and then pulls her in for a hug. She clutches his shoulder and buries her face into his chest.

3x03 (Love Run Cold): Everything between Danny and Lindsay has changed in this episode. At the beginning they are acting normal, and processing a scene, but once Mac leaves them everything is silent. After a while, Danny casually brings up a problem between the two. He mentions to Lindsay that it had been a long time since he was stood up on a date, and she replies that she is sorry for doing that but something came up. We get flashbacks of Danny sitting at a dinner table waiting on Lindsay, who didn't show up. Throughout the whole episode Lindsay seems really distant from Danny. He asks her out for lunch, but she quickly changes the subject and walks away. Danny calls to her, begging for her to go out with him, but she doesn't look back. After they have wrapped up their case, Lindsay is walking through the halls alone, until Danny quickly catches up with her, wanting a word. He tells her that they have a chemistry, and that they're into each other. When Lindsay doesn't reply, Danny gets worried that she doesn't feel the same way. She tells him that she can't be in a relationship with him at the moment, but she likes him a lot. Danny begins to fumble over his words, saying that he just wants to have some drinks, dinner, and some laughs with her. But she still turns him down. Lindsay tells him that something is affecting her that she thought she had put behind her, and that she needs to be by herself at the moment. While she's walking away, Danny shouts to her, "If there's anything you need just let me know. Okay?" Lindsay doesn't turn around, but walks out of sight, leaving a heartbroken Danny.

3x05 (Oedipus Hex): Danny and Lindsay work together on this case which involves the Suicide Girls. Unlike any other case they have worked on together, this one is all business, and hasn't any little flirtatious moments thrown in. When Danny asks Lindsay if she could go and talk to the dead girl's mother, she freaks out and asks why she has to do it. Danny, oblivious to what's wrong with her, talks to the mother instead. Once he leaves, Lindsay feels bad for shouting at him, and is also upset about her past, which we still don't know about. At the end, Danny is heading over to speak to the mother again, and to give her a video tape her daughter made, but Lindsay comes up behind him, takes the tape, and says it's her turn.

3x10 (Sweet 16): Lindsay and Danny are working separate cases, but on her case, Lindsay is bitten by a snake. Danny later asks Mac how she's doing.

3x11 (Raising Shane): When Sheldon Hawkes is arrested for a murder he didn't commit, the team must watch from "the other side of the tape". Danny and Lindsay have a little talk, but not about their complicated relationship. Things don't seem as awkward between them anymore. Once realizing that Hawkes was set up by a man named Shane, who we met earlier on in the season, Danny is asked to go in and meet him alone.

3x12 (Silent Night): Nothing about Dantana, but Lindsay's past is now revealed. This affects her work because at the beginning of the episode, she leaves the scene of the crime. Later on, she breaks down in the morgue, mumbling, "Why was I the only one?" because the victim appeared to have been shot with a shotgun, it brings back horrible memories of a crime that she survived when she was 14 years old. She was the only survivor of a multiple murder, one in which 3 of her friends were killed.

3x14 (The Lying Game): Lindsay informs Mac that she is leaving New York to go back to Montana to testify about the murder of her friends. While she is doing this, Danny is waiting by the elevator, looking on, and wondering what is going on with Lindsay. She says goodbye to everyone, but is unable to say goodbye to Danny because of her feelings towards him. Instead, she leaves him a card saying:

"Danny, I'm not good at long goodbye's, or short ones for that matter.

But Montana calls and the cows are heading home.

MOO!

See you soon.

Montana"

On the other side of the card it says "You're in my thoughts." This leaves Danny with a huge smile on his face. Later, when Lindsay is just leaving for the airport, she sees him while she is sitting in the taxi. She asks the driver to stop, and she watches Danny head into the lab. Once he is out of sight, she sighs, sits back in her seat and drives away.

3x18 (Sleight Out Of Hand): Since Lindsay has been gone, Danny has been working very hard and becoming very tired. He can't concentrate, and while in the lab he sees Lindsay. She's walking down the hall, and she smiles at him. Danny gets all excited and smiles back, but he soon realizes it wasn't Lindsay, but a lab tech. He soon stops smiling and sits back in his seat, mumbling that he's losing his mind. After being sent home by Mac, Danny enters his apartment and looks around. He says, "Go with your instincts" and immediately leaves. Later on, we see Lindsay sitting on the stand, continuing her testimony again, after breaking down the first time. Soon, someone walks through the court room doors. It's Danny! She smiles at him, and they share a quick moment. Him being there helps her to continue. Once her friend's killer is found guilty, Danny and Lindsay, who were holding hands, and Lindsay's head was on his shoulder, share a hug. They continue to hold hands, and as Danny is leading her out of the court room, Lindsay pulls him back. She smiles up at him, and he smiles back. Lindsay and Danny are about to share in their first kiss when a group of reporters come in and start snapping photos. The two just smile, and walk away hand-in-hand.

3x19 (A Daze Of Wine And Roaches): Danny and Lindsay are back to their usual flirting, and friendly bantering. They work a case together where there are stolen glances and little touches going on. There's also a lot of smiling.

3x21 (Past Imperfect): Some cheeky comments from Danny, which leave Lindsay smiling.

3x24 (Snow Day): Danny and Lindsay have finally moved forward. After two years of flirting, and months of being nothing but co-workers, Danny and Lindsay have a date (one in which the audience gets to see). Lindsay comes to Danny's apartment, where they play some pool, and have some drinks. Lindsay is beating Danny in pool, and he is convinced that she will not make the winning shot. She believes she will, and bets him that she'll sink it. Winning the game, Lindsay turns to Danny and says that he owes her. Danny tells Lindsay that she'll have to wait till payday, but she won't hear of it. Lindsay tells Danny seductively that he either give her the money now, or come up with something better. She pulls him into a passionate kiss, and removes his shirt. Danny removes Lindsay's shirt and the two end up making love on Danny's pool table. In the morning, when the two wake up in each others arms, Lindsay tells Danny that she had a dream that she woke up and he was gone and that he left a note. Danny jokes that he couldn't go anywhere because they are in his apartment. They chuckle, and Danny says he is glad that this has happened between them and then kisses her on the forehead. Lindsay says she's happy too, kisses him on the chest and goes back to sleep. A few hours later, Lindsay wakes up and Danny is nowhere to be seen. She is late for her shift, which Danny was supposed to wake her for, and starts running around, gathering her clothes and getting dressed. Once she enters the kitchen, she sees a note that Danny has left for her:

"Montana. Don't freak out, although I'm sure

you already have. We're trading shifts.

I got you covered. Enjoy your Snow Day.

Lindsay smiles, and smells a flower that Danny left her. Little does she know that Danny has been taken hostage. In the end, Danny is saved, but badly beaten. Lindsay helps him from the truck he was in and leads him to EMS, saying she is sorry. Danny is confused by her apology, but she tells him he shouldn't have been there because he took her shift. Danny just looks at her, and the two walk away together.

Season 4

4x01 (Can You Hear Me Now?): Danny and Lindsay are working on a big case on the Statue of Liberty. Later on, in the lab, we see Lindsay put condom spray in Danny's pocket."Haha" he says.

4x02 (The Deep): Danny and Hawkes are under the ocean collecting evidence and Hawkes gets stuck and loses his oxygen. Lindsay is watching and she looks scared. Danny then saves Hawkes' life and later, at the lab, Lindsay tells Danny that Hawkes was lucky to have him there. Danny looks at Lindsay and she smiles. Danny tells Lindsay to stop goofing off because they have work to do.

4x03 (You Only Die Once): There is a funny exchange between Danny and Lindsay when they compare the Batmobile vs. Mach 5 Speed Racer (as seen below):

Danny: Speed Racer’s Mach 5 does not come close to the Batmobile, end of story.
Lindsay: Are you kidding me? The Mach 5 had submersible capabilites and a robotic homing pigeon.
Danny: Yeah, so did the Batmobile. Along with rocket boosters and armor plating.
Lindsay: Mach 5, rotary saw.
Danny: A’ right, Montana. Did Speed Racer’s, uh, Mach 5 have a field forensics kit?
Lindsay: The Batmobile did not have a field forensics kit.
Danny: In the Batmobile’s trunk it did.
Lindsay: That explains so much.

4x06 (Boo): This episode, which aired on Halloween, was based on the "Amityville Horror". Danny and Lindsay are working on this case at a haunted house. We see Lindsay call Danny when she feels scared, and of course he comes. When Lindsay says that someone else was in the house,and the sheriff does not believe her, she becomes mad and Danny tries to calm her down. He says, "Lindsay, HON." I think this is the first time Danny has used an endearment term with Lindsay other than "Montana".

4x07 (Commuted Sentences): Lindsay and Danny seem to be close to each other as they work this case. They are trying to recreate the crime scene with Lindsay acting as the victim and Danny acting as the suspect. Lindsay pokes Danny on his waist, to which he replies, "That's too low, wiseass" and corrects the level her hand is at.

4x10 (The Thing About Heroes): While working on the 333 caller, Lindsay points out to Danny that no woman wakes up in the middle of the night at 3:33 to make a phone call. Then Danny asks her if she is sure about this.

4x11 (Child's Play): In this episode everything between Danny and Lindsay starts to go downhill because Danny blames himself when a kid, Ruben Sandoval, in Danny's apartment is killed. When Lindsay tries to comfort Danny, he pushes her away. Lindsay tells Mac that she is not good at this, so Mac tells Lindsay to tell Danny that she is not good at this.

4x13 (All in the Family): Lindsay is worried about Danny because he is supposed to be at work, but he is not there, so Lindsay asks Flack for help to find Danny. While Lindsay was working, Mac comes in and asks were Danny is because his shift started 2 hours ago. Lindsay covers for Danny and says that he got hit with the flu and he took medicine and it knocked him out. Mac said it was kind of sudden but Lindsay says he got it a few days ago. Mac tells Lindsay that he hopes Danny gets better and that Lindsay should make sure she doesn't catch what Danny's got. Flack finds Danny, who is looking for Rikki Sandoval, Ruben's mom. She had stolen Danny's gun in order to kill the guy who is responsible for her son's death. Flack and Danny find Rikki and manage to convince her not to shoot Ollie Barnes (the guy who killed Ruben). Flack is going to bring Rikki in because she stole Danny's gun, but Danny refuses, saying he wants to take Rikki home, so Flack tells Danny that he should be at his desk in 1 hour, with Rikki. Danny comes through and brings Rikki in, and Flack promises that she won't spend a night in jail. Danny says that Flack should mind his own business but Flack says it's his business because he is Danny's friend and he should stop blaming himself for Ruben's death. To this, Danny replies, "How? How can I do that?".

4x14 (Playing with Matches): Both Lindsay and Danny work together and they seem friendly, but more professional and when Lindsay says "steel balls," Danny gives her a look and she raises her eye (cute).

4x15 (DOA For A Day): In this episode we find out that Danny has forgotten Lindsay's birthday and he has an excuse, "Guys don't remember that sort of thing. They remember sports dates and steak sides" Lindsay says, "Steak sides? You are so busted." After that they continue to work on the case but Lindsay seems disappointed.

4x16 (Right Next Door): There was a fire at Stella's apartment and Lindsay was working with Mac at the scene. After a while she calls Danny, who is at his apartment, getting stuff from the fridge, getting ready to make an omelet. Lindsay asks Danny if he would like to have lunch before his shift because it's her turn to buy, but he says he needs to run to the bank, go to the drycleaner, and take his bike to the shop. Lindsay asks if everything is okay, and Danny says nothing is wrong and he will see her at work and then he hangs up the phone. Then Rikki Sandoval comes out of Danny's bedroom, wearing his shirt, and tells him that, "Maybe she will take a rain check on Messer's famous omelet," but Danny tells her she can't pass on the omelet. She insists that she has to go and that last night was just sex. Danny walks up to her and starts to kiss her. She feels she is taking advantage of him because of Ruben's death, but Danny says he doesn't care. She insists that she has to go, but Danny says before she goes, he needs his shirt back, since she is wearing it. Then he starts to open the buttons on the shirt and they start kissing and that leads into another round of sex. At the lab, we see Mac, Hawkes and Lindsay talking about the case, and then Lindsay sees Danny coming, so Mac suggests that Lindsay should catch Danny up with the case. When Mac leaves, Lindsay hands Danny the case file and says, "Why don't you start by reading this," in an angry tone, and walks away. Danny and Hawkes then look at Lindsay as she walks away. Some time later, we see them both talking on the phone, working on the case. (The conversation between the two is right below). Lindsay tells Danny that is not mad at him, but she is mad at herself because she has fallen in love with him, and now she must figure out how to let that go. Danny remains speechless as she walks out of the room. (It's clear by the look on his face that he feels guilty). Later, Lindsay is working on a piece of evidence on the computer where she has a lead and she is explaining it to Stella and Danny. While explaining what she had found out with the evidence, she does not look at Danny at all. She only looks at Stella. Danny tries to talk to her, but she won't listen to him. When Stella leaves them alone to wait for the evidence results, Danny looks at Lindsay and says "Lindsay, I'm sorry, We should talk." At this point, Lindsay finally looks at him, but then the evidence results come in, so Lindsay sends Danny to get Stella.

Lindsay and Danny are talking on the phone, working on a case, and Danny keeps looking at Lindsay. Then they both hang up the phone.
Danny: I'm a gonna get some coffee? You want some coffee?
Lindsay: No.....thanks
Danny: (looks at her then smiles) How long are you gonna stay mad at me, Linds?
Lindsay: Oh, is this what this is? Me mad at you?
Danny: Is this is still about missing your birthday? (Lindsay looks at him) Look, I didn't wanna go to lunch yesterday . Why do you gotta make such a big deal about this?
Lindsay: Do me a favor, Danny. Don't reduce me to some shallow clingy girlfriend that's trying to suffocate you, okay? That's not what this is about. Ever since Ruben Sandoval died, I feel like I have lost my best friend. Don't mistake this for jealousy, okay? I know how it feels to lose someone you care about, to see them one day and to not see them the next, and you know you are never gonna see them again. I will never expect you not to grieve, but clearly you have just decided to do it on your own (Danny is not looking at Lindsay). Okay I get it, (stands up). My mistake for thinking you might need someone to lean on, and for the record I'm not mad at you. (Danny looks at Lindsay). I'm mad at myself BECAUSE I'VE FALLEN IN LOVE WITH YOU AND NOW I HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO LET THAT GO. (Lindsay walks out of the room and leaves Danny speechless, and from the look on his face, he feels guilty).

4x17 (Like Water For Murder): There was awkward moment between Danny and Lindsay. Danny says they should rent a movie which they were both quoting, but all Lindsay says is, "This is hard" and she walks away, leaving a piece of evidence unattended. The inspector accrediting the lab sees this and tells Mac. When Mac confronts Lindsay about leaving the evidence she says, "Danny was right there" but quickly says that that was a stupid excuse and that she is sorry, But Mac tells Lindsay he is more concerned about her, and all she says is that she is fine, and it was a bad and stupid idea to get involved with a person she works with, and then she walks away.

4x19 (Personal Foul): When they finish collecting evidence from Sid, Danny tries to talk to Lindsay but she says they have work to do. So he suggests she tell him when she wants to talk and she says, "Honestly, I don't know." After working on a case together, Danny calls Lindsay. (The conversation between the two is right below). Danny calls Lindsay to say that he is sorry and that he misses her. Lindsay says, "Do you know how hard it is to love you?", so he suggests that she should come over to his apartment and tell him in person. She pauses, says she has to go, and hangs up the phone. Danny then hears a knock on his door, and upon opening it, sees Rikki Sandoval standing there. Danny starts to tell her that she was right about the thing between them and that it was a bad idea. Rikki then tells him that she is moving because she needs a fresh start.

ONE OF THE BEST SCENES BETWEEN DANNY AND LINDSAY
Lindsay is walking in the rain and then her phone begins to ring. It's Danny. She answers her phone...
Lindsay: Hey
Danny: Hey. Where are you?
Lindsay: I'm taking a rain walk. It's a Montana thing. You wouldn't understand.
Danny: Maybe I would, maybe there are a lot of things I understand now.
Lindsay: Yeah? Like what?
Danny: How sorry I am for pushing you away.
Lindsay: Danny, I tried to give you your space. I don't know how much longer I can do this. It's messing with my work. It's breaking my heart.
Danny: Yeah, I know, I know, I do. I swear to God it won't
happen again. The truth is, the truth is, I MISS YOU. I MISS YOU MORE THAN I CAN SAY, EVEN IF I DON'T KNOW HOW TO SAY IT.Lindsay: DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW HARD YOU ARE TO LOVE?
Danny: (smiles) Why don't you come on over and tell me in person....PLEASE?
Lindsay: (long pause) I gotta go (and she hangs up the phone).

4x20 (Taxi): In this episode, Hawkes calls Lindsay "Montana", and she says she hasn't heard that in a while and Hawkes apologizes, but then she says she kind of misses being called Montana. (This is a sign that she misses Danny.)

4x21 (Hostage): Nothing really happens between them except we see them staring at each other a lot.

Season 5

5x07 (Dead Inside): This is the first time this season we see Danny and Lindsay, joking around and teasing each other. They are both working on the same case. They seem to be close and they are very friendly with each other. Lindsay even calls Danny a "show-off" because he comes to the crime scene with a speed boat, and Lindsay came over with the Coast Guard. Later on, when Lindsay is trying to figure out the mystery of the QuickScan bar code, and cannot figure it out, she gets frustrated. When Flack and Danny come to see why she is so frustrated, she asks, "Whose stupid idea was this?" and Danny says "Yours."

5x09 (The Box): The episode opens up with Danny telling a story. Ten years ago his baseball career ended after his wrist was shattered. Then he flashes back to the case they are working on a few days earlier. When Lindsay brings the evidence she found to Danny, he says, "I called you last night." Lindsay gives him an apologetic look and says that she went to bed really early. Then we are back to Danny's story, (apparently he is telling the story to Mr. and Mrs. Harris, but we don't know that yet). Mrs. Harris asks, "Is this the woman you are talking about?" and Danny says, "Yeah, her name is Lindsay Monroe. She is from Montana. Her father go t her a fly-fishing rod for her 8th birthday and a buck knife for her 9th birthday. He smiles and giggles while saying this. He then says that he has never been with a girl like that before and Mr. Harris asks if that's a good thing and Danny smiles and says, "Absolutely". We then flashback to the case and we see that Lindsay and Danny discover a live man who was locked in the trunk. Later, during the case Danny and Stella go to question a doctor at a health center because the victim had the doctor's business card in her pocket. Anyway, we see Lindsay enter the health center and when she sees Danny (he looks shocked), she rushes away before he could ask her what she was doing there. After running after but missing her, Stella asks Danny if he was alright, and he just tells her that he thought he saw someone he knew. Then we are back to Danny's story, so Mrs. Harris asks him why he lied to Stella, and Danny said that it's because he didn't know what was going on. Lindsay had told him she was taking a few hours off from work to go look at a sublet in Brooklyn, and she has never lied to him before. We flash back to the case, and at the Lab we see Danny looking at the elevator doors, obviously waiting for Lindsay and when Mac comes and asks him what he found on the DNA he was testing, he is not even paying attention. Apparently Hawkes and Sid found out that the victim was pregnant at the time of death and her baby was cut out of her, but they don't know the name of the victim yet. Anyway Lindsay finally arrives (what they talk about is right below).

LINDSAY TELLS DANNY SHE'S PREGNANT!
Lindsay is walking down the hallway and Danny is trying to catch up with her.
Danny: Lindsay, wait up.
Lindsay: Danny, hey. I can't talk right now. (They enter the locker room and Lindsay opens her locker).
Danny: Whats going on?
Lindsay: What do you mean?
Danny: (comes close to her) Come on, Lindsay. I saw you today at the health center. Are you sick?
Lindsay: (closes her locker) Danny, you should get back to work.
Danny: (holds Lindsay and looks at her) No, no, you should talk to me.
Lindsay: (sighs) I...ah...I.. (covers her mouth and goes to the bathroom to puke).
Danny: What's the matter? Are you ok? (goes after her) Lindsay, hey. (bangs on the door of the bathroom) What the hell is going on?
We go back to Danny telling his story and he says, "The truth is, I can't really blame her for not saying anything. See, a while ago, I messed up, alright. I was with another woman. I didn't say anything, but she knew, I think she knew, you know? A couple of months later, we get back together and things haven't really been the same, and now this. We flash back to Danny, who is waiting for Lindsay to come out of the bathroom.
(Lindsay comes out of the bathroom)
Danny: Are you okay? Are you alright? (she nods her head).
Lindsay: (walks to her locker and faces Danny) (she sighs) I'M PREGNANT.
Danny: Are you sure? (She looks at him and then gives him an ultrasound pic. He takes it and looks at it, and smiles) How long have you known?
Lindsay: A few weeks (A lab tech enters the locker room, they both remain silent) I should get back to work (leaves the locker room).
Danny: Whoa, whoa, whoa! Why didn't you tell me? Look, you can't just drop this on me and walk away. Please!
Lindsay: Danny, I know you.
Danny: You know-- What is that supposed to mean?
Lindsay: It just means that I'm not expecting anything. (Then Lindsay sees the FasScan photo of the Vic that they are trying to identify and sighs) Who is that?
Danny: That's our vic (Danny looks at her).
Lindsay: I think I know her. Her name is Nicole Harris. I met her at the health center when I first had my appointment.

Then we get a flashback of Lindsay and Nicole talking at the health center. We find out that Nicole was almost 8 months pregnant and she just moved here from Albany. So Lindsay told her that they should trade numbers because she knows how it feels to be in a new city. Back to the present, Lindsay and Danny go back to the locker room so that she can give Danny Nicole's number. Danny takes the number and says he will get Flack to contact her parents. Then he leaves without saying anything. (Lindsay watches him leave). We later see Danny watching the interrogation of Nicole's parents, and then we see him staring at the ultrasound pic. When Hawkes comes to talk to Danny, he tells him, "I heard Lindsay identified the FasScan photo." Then we flash back to Danny's Story, Mr'. Harris asked him what he said, so he replies, "I lied. I told him Lindsay was at the health center to get a flu shot." Then we flash back to Danny talking to Hawkes. Danny says, "What a coincidence". We later see Danny taking a ride on his motorcycle through Manhattan to clear his head. He smiles when he is thinking of Lindsay. Later, Danny goes and talks to Mr. and Mrs. Harris, and tells them that Child Services would be there to bring Nicole's baby soon, so he decides to sit down across from them. He looks tired, so Mr. Harris asks him, "Are you okay, son? Do you have any kids?" Then we cut back to Danny's story. It is revealed to the audience that Danny was telling his story to Mr. and Mrs. Harris. So Danny says, "Look what I have unloaded the two of you with. You asked a simple question". So Mrs. Harris asks him, "If you don't mind my asking, what's going to happen now?" and Danny replies that he does not know. So Mr. Harris gives him some advice, "Whatever you do, do not allow yourself any regrets." Lindsay then comes to tell Mr. and Mrs. Harris that Child Services is here. When she sees Danny, she stops and they look at each other before she approaches them. Danny introduces Lindsay to the Harris', who wish both of them good luck. Lindsay looks surprised and confused so she just stares at Danny. We see them both standing side-by-side, watching Mr. and Mrs. Harris with their grandson. The last thing we see is Danny and Lindsay's hands nearly touching each other.

5x10 (The Triangle): Danny is walking down the street on his phone, talking to Lindsay. She says she thought he was supposed to be in already because he is supposed to be working the night shift. He explains that they turned the Q train into an express and forgot to tell the passengers, so he had to hop out at 34th and double-back. She says okay, but if Mac asks where he is, she "never heard of him." He then asks Lindsay how she is feeling, and the baby too. Lindsay replies "Good, she's good." Danny says, "She?" Lindsay laughs at this and tells him, "Or he. Relax, it's too early to tell." Then Danny tells Lindsay that he has something important to talk to her about. She says, "Okay. What is it?" but before Danny could say anything, the call is dropped. Later, Lindsay is working in the lab and she is looking at the labels of a whole bunch of chemicals and starting to get worried. When Stella walks into the lab, Lindsay asks her about safety precautions for a "pregnant friend from New Jersey" and Stella says that there are safety precautions, such as fume hoods, and face shields, that she can use. So Stella asks, "She's not alone, right? The baby has a father" and Lindsay replies, "Yeah, yeah and he's great. I just don't know how ready he was for any of this. Oh, it's complicated" and Stella says, "And beautiful. If your friend's coworkers are anything like your coworkers, they will work with her and even be happy for her. It's gonna be okay" and Lindsay just replies, "Thanks." Before Stella leaves, she turns back to Lindsay and tells her to tell her "friend" congratulations. Later, Lindsay goes outside to grab something to eat and Danny approaches her (what happens is below).

Danny asks Lindsay to Marry Him.........
Danny: (approaches Lindsay) I thought I saw you running for the exit.
Lindsay: (laughs) I'm starving, (getting a tea and donut) my O.B. says that I should pay attention to my cravings, no matter how inconvenient they are.
Danny: Yeah. Let me ask you something. Do you have any history of hereditary disease in your family?
Lindsay: (laughs) No, do you?
Danny: No, no, no, Mental illness?
Lindsay: No
Danny: Uh, how about addictive tendencies? Extra fingers? Extra toes?
Lindsay: No, no
Danny: Natural delivery or drugs?
Lindsay: Ah, either
Danny: Boy or girl?
Lindsay: Healthy
Danny: WILL YOU MARRY ME?
Lindsay: (surprised) NO (she then walks away, leaving a dejected Danny).

After they are finished working the case, we see Danny and Lindsay walking together.
Danny: So, you wanna uh, you wanna tell me why you won't marry me?
Lindsay: I didn't mean I won't. I just think it's the wrong time.
Danny: Wrong time. Wrong time or the wrong guy?
Lindsay: (sighs) Danny, (he stops and they face each other) I know I have thrown a lot at you, and we are both feeling really overwhelmed, but whatever we do next, I want it to be for the right reason. Wouldn't you rather walk down the aisle than be pushed?
Danny: Of course.
Lindsay: Ok, cause listen, I'm not going anywhere, and I know you're not going anywhere either, okay, but this is not just about you and I anymore. So let's just take baby steps, okay?
Danny: Okay. So, look, before we go inside, I wanna just tell you one more thing, okay (holds Lindsay) I just want you to know, THAT I LOVE YOU.
Lindsay: (smiles) I LOVE YOU TOO, DANNY (Danny smiles).
So we see them entering Mac's office and they tell him that they are pregnant. Mac smiles widely and hugs them both.

5x11 (The Forbidden Fruit): Danny and Adam are talking about some evidence and Danny tells Adam that if he figures out the connection between the evidence and the case, Danny will buy him a beer, but Adam replies that the beer will be on him because Danny has some big expenses coming up. Danny says, "Oh yeah? What, diapers? How much can diapers cost?" Adam tells him to look at the big picture, "Because the cost of raising a kid from birth till 18, is like 150G's, and that's not including college." Danny asks Adam he knows that and Adam replies that his dad reminded him everyday. So he advises Danny to keep all the cash he has. Then Adam sees Lindsay approaching them and he tells Danny that, "Combining your income can be less painful." Lindsay says hi to Adam and he leaves. Lindsay tells Danny that she thought he was going to search the 1st victim's apartment. He replies that he was already done there and then replies that the next place they'll search is the 2nd victim's apartment and that hopefully they'll find a primary crime scene there. Then he asks Lindsay, "How we feeling?" Lindsay replies that she is good and then says that she thought she felt a kick this morning. So Danny asks in an excited voice, "Really!" and takes her hand and says, "Come here." He takes her aside and puts his hand on Lindsay's bump. Then Lindsay tells him that the kicking has stopped, so he tells her that the next time it happens she should find him. Then they both hold their baby bump and smile.

5x12 (Help): There are 2 really cute moments in this episode. The first moment happens when the team is discussing the case in a team meeting. Although both victims are from separate cases, they were both raped by the same guy, which turns out to be an interesting coincidence. When the team is discussing how often coincidences happen, Lindsay pipes up with the following fact, "Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin died on the same day, 50 years after signing the Declaration of Independence." Danny then gives her an incredulous look. After the team meeting is over, Lindsay says the following, "In 1975, a man driving a moped was struck and killed by a taxi driver in Bermuda. One year later, the victim's brother was also killed, the same way even, with the exact same taxi, same taxi driver, and the same passenger." Later on, Sid states another coincidence to Danny, "Mark Twain was born on the same day that Halley's Comet first appeared, and he died on the same day of Halley's Comet next appearance, 75 years later." Danny turns to Sid and says, "You been hanging out with Lindsay, Sid?" Sid replies,"Huh?" These two moments show Danny's sense of humor and the type of wit he carries.

5x14 (She's Not There): The only moment here is when Sid and Lindsay are talking to Mac about the broken piece of the lip ring that Sid took out of the victim's knuckle and the plum blossom trace that Danny found in the hilt of the knife used to kill the victim. When Mac asks where to find plum blossoms in the dead of winter in New York City, Sid replies that they can be found on Canal Street and that they are used at this time of year in Chinatown, in celebration of Chinese New Year. Sid then tells Mac to have a Happy New Year in Chinese. Lindsay responds with, "Year of the Ox" and pats her huge belly.

5x15 (The Party's Over): Every cop is calling in "sick" because the city cannot pay them because they don’t have the money. So the NYPD are on strike. Danny is one of them. He has the "flu". When Hawkes and Lindsay are working at the lab, Hawkes gets a call that he has to testify in Danny’s place because Danny was supposed to be in court today, and he can't be there because he is "sick". The case eventually gets thrown out of court because Hawkes can't answer the questions. Hawkes tells Lindsay he personally thinks that what Danny is doing is selfish, and that he cannot afford to get suspended when he and Lindsay are expecting a baby, but she defends Danny's decision, calling it, "Commitment." Later Stella goes to see Danny because she was pissed off at him. She tells Danny they threw out the case because Hawkes could not provide the kind of answers the court needed to hear, because Hawkes was not working the case. Danny tells her that he knows, but that the NYPD deserve to be paid. Stella then says she understands and she mentions that there is a ton of work to do at the lab, and says, "Thank God for Lindsay. She's a real trooper". Danny then says, "Yeah, she is. She's been calling me every other hour, but I have to cough every time I answer the phone, in case it's not her."

5x16 (No Good Deed): Lindsay is doing lab work, and Danny is reading the baby a Flash Gordon story from a comic book while waiting for some fingerprint and DNA results (the interaction between Danny and the baby is below). We also find out in this episode that Lindsay is 7 months pregnant because Danny says that he is, "2 months away from fatherhood."

Danny: "Stop where you are." That's Flash saying that, and right beside him is the Green Lantern. He is lookin' all rough and tough and green. "Surrender or we'll be forced to take action." (the computer starts to beep.)
Lindsay: (looking over at the computer) Looks like you've got a match, superhero.
Danny: Alright kiddo, I'll be back (he kisses Lindsay's belly a couple of times before going over to the computer, Lindsay then giggles and looks very happy).

5x17 (Green Piece): After 3 years of flirting, skirting and chasing each other, Danny and Lindsay finally tied the knot! There were some really great scenes in this episode. The first one was at the beginning when Danny wouldn't allow Lindsay to visit the crime scene, due to the fumes from the blast and dust from the house. Then Danny asks Lindsay if she's excited to be visiting Montana, Lindsay says that she is, and that she's looking forward to her mom seeing her pregnant. Then Lindsay starts talking about the baby and says that if the baby is a girl, she can't wait to see their daughter pregnant. Danny caresses her belly and says, "If this is a girl, no guy's gettin' close enough to her to get her pregnant." Then he smiles a wide, humorous grin at Lindsay as he is about to leave in the elevator. The next part was when Lindsay and Sid are in the morgue, discussing Sid's findings, and Sid asks her about how she's feeling about visiting Montana. Sid starts to talk about the benefits of going to Montana, no bodies at 3 am, no double shifts with no sleep, no slice of pizza on the run. To this, Lindsay quips about all the symptoms of pregnancy, constipation, swelling of the feet, help getting up from a chair, and constant urination. When asked if he wants to switch, Sid replies that he already has all of that he just wants the time off. The next part was the scene with Mac and Danny in Mac's office. As Danny and Mac are discussing the case, Mac notices that Danny is distracted when Lindsay walks by. Mac says, "Lindsay will be back before you know it, Danny." Danny still seems distracted and starts the ball rolling by telling Mac that he asked Lindsay to marry him before (see 5x10-"The Triangle) and that she said no. Danny tells Mac that she thought he proposed just because she was pregnant. To this, Mac replies, "Is she right?" Here, Danny starts to waver, saying, "No, I mean, I...I don't know, Mac." Obviously Danny is feeling a little nervous about the changes in his life that are about to occur and is scared that he will disappoint Lindsay and his child. He continues with, "I love her, I do, I know that, but I just know myself, and I don't want to disappoint her, or the kid." Mac then talks about his life with Claire, and how he never had the chance to become a father. Mac wasn't in a hurry to have kids because he didn't want to disappoint Claire, or himself, and that is something that he will always regret. Danny is obviously still a little shaky, so Mac tells him, "God brought you and Lindsay together. I believe that. You have been blessed with a gift, the greatest gift that life has to offer. You can choose to live in a place of fear or you can believe in the best version of yourself." Danny thanks him for his advice and gets up to leave the office. As Danny is heading out the door, Mac says, "You're gonna make a great father, Danny." To this, Danny smiles, and then leaves Mac's office. Finally, THE BEST SCENE EVER, Danny takes Lindsay to the clerk's office, wanting to surprise her. He tells her that she needs to meet up with a couple of "friends". When they finally stop walking, they're outside the clerk's office with a sign that says "Marriage Licenses." Lindsay starts to waver and says, "Danny." Then Danny says, "I'm tired of feeling afraid, alright? You and me? We make sense, k? You're everything I've always wanted. I wanna be with you. And I can be the guy that you want me to be. I know I can. I am that guy." Lindsay then replies with, "I know you are." Danny then continues with, "Then let's walk through this door together. Come on, let's do it. Let's take that leap." Lindsay and Danny then share an extra-long kiss (one that was long overdue, considering that last time we saw these two kiss on the lips was in 3x24 "Snow Day"), after which, Lindsay asks, "You got a money order?" and then they hug and kiss again. As they walk into the clerk's office, they see the "friends" they're supposed to meet, it's Mac and Stella! When Stella hands Lindsay white flowers, Lindsay whispers to Stella, "What if I said no?" but Stella cuts her off by saying, "Not a chance" and Lindsay smiles. Mac hands Danny the box containing the ring. As the marriage vows begin, the viewers are taken through a flashback of Danny and Lindsay's history, right from the first time they met in 2x03 "Zoo York" to 5x11 "The Forbidden Fruit." The icing on the cake, however, was the fact that the wedding vows were interwoven throughout the flashback. So that even as we were viewing their history, we could hear each of them take their vows.

5x18 (Point of No Return): There were a couple of noteworthy scenes in this episode. The first one is when Mac asks Danny how Lindsay is doing. Danny replies that she said, "She looks like a whale, and is bored. She also said she found a dead beaver on her parents' property, and that she was tempted to rope it off with crime scene tape and start processing." The second one is when Danny is involved in a gunfight. Later on after, he kills the suspect, in self-defense. Danny looks at his hands, not believing that the suspect has just died in his arms. The third one is when Danny goes to the washroom, back at the lab. When he looks at himself in the mirror, he realizes how close he came to dying, and not being able to take care of his wife and his child. After looking at his hands and noticing there is blood on his wedding ring, the first thing he does is clean the blood off. Then he gets a call from Lindsay, and he answers the phone with, "Hey, babe" asks her how she's doing, and proceeds to tell her that things are the same as ever in NYC. He's obviously holding back the fact that he nearly died in a shoot-out with a suspect.

5x19 (Communication Breakdown): Throughout the whole episode Danny is trying out boy names for the baby, Louie, Clemenza, and Alphonse, these 3 coming from Danny's family, as well as Amos (Daniel Messer) and Kurt. At one point, Danny and Stella are searching the chief's hotel room and he is considering "Amos Daniel Messer" and Stella says, "Danny, at some point you might want to consider the possibility that you and Lindsay could have a girl." Danny says it isn't possible because his mother had 2 boys, and that her mother had 3 boys, so he's positive that he's going to have a boy. Later, at the end of the night, Adam, Hawkes, Flack, Stella, Mac, and Danny are all crowded around a table, laughing and listening to Danny suggest baby boy names. Then he gets a text from Lindsay telling him that she is, "Fine and so is the baby GIRL in her belly." They then congratulate Danny on the news that he's having a DAUGHTER!

Danny Finds Out He Is Having A Daughter!
(Mac and Stella hear laughing and find the gang surrounding Danny).
Mac: Don't tell me we're still playing the name game...
Danny: It's a process...
Flack: We went from John, Paul, George, and Ringo, to Tom, Dick, and Harry.
Stella: Why don't we throw Mac into the mix?
Adam: (laughs) Mac!... hahaha...(Mac looks at him disapprovingly) Actually, Mac's a great name. I like your name. (Danny's phone rings, and he reads an incoming text message off to the side).
Danny: Mac's no good. That was Lindsay.
Stella: Is she alright?
Danny: Yeah, she's fine...and so is the baby girl in her belly.
Don, Sheldon, and Adam: OOOHH! (Everyone congratulates Danny. Stella kisses his head).

5x22 (Yahrzeit): Danny is suspended for two weeks and when he tells Mac he says, "The upside of being suspended for 2 weeks is being able to spend time with my new wife before the little bambino arrives." To this, Mac replies, "That's probably a good idea."

5x23 (Greater Good): First we see Lindsay searching the lab and when she finds Adam she asks where Danny is. When he says that he is out, as well as Stella and Mac, she

tells Adam to get a set of keys and meet her downstairs in 5 minutes because her water just broke. You then see Lindsay smiling and going to get her suitcase to go to the hospital.

Lindsay goes into labor!
(Lindsay is looking around when she bumps into Adam).
Lindsay: Adam, have you seen Danny?
Adam: He left about 20 minutes ago with Doc to a crime scene on the upper west side.
Lindsay: What about Stella or Mac?
Adam: Stella's in court and the boss took the day off. Yeah. Can you believe it? Mac never takes a day off. I don't think there has been one day since I've worked here that he hasn't showed up and he's like, "Hey I'm not coming in." You know? All though he did go to London that one time but I don't...
Lindsay: Okay Adam enough!
Adam: What?
Lindsay: I just got back from Montana, I...I'm not ready to deal with you. (sighs) This is not how I imagined it.
Adam: What?
Lindsay: (grabs Adam's shirt) I need you to focus Adam.
Adam: Okay.
Lindsay: Go get a set of key's to a car, any car, meet me in the garage in five minutes. My water just broke. I'm about to go into labor and you are taking me to the hospital. Go!
Adam: (stunned) Oh...okay, okay! (runs off).
Lindsay: Adam...
Adam: Yeah, wrong way sorry. (turns around and runs the other way). Just relax. Everything's going to be okay!
(Lindsay walks over to get her suitcase and smiles, then starts waddling down the hallway).
Later, we see Danny and Hawkes speeding down the street going to the hospital. Danny is on the phone telling Lindsay to wait until he gets there and that he loves her. Once he rushes into the hospital he sees Lindsay being pushed into a room on a wheelchair.
Danny and Hawkes going to the hospital!
Danny: (has his cell phone to his ear) Why isn't she answering her phone? Doc take 57th right there it will be faster.
Hawkes: Danny I got this, I got this.
Danny: (looks irritated) Voicemail...again. (into phone) Baby, it's me, were close okay. Hold on 'til I get there, okay I don't want to miss this! I love you, I love you okay.
Hawkes: (swerving around a car) Hey! Watch out!
Danny: Up here! Right here Doc, Doc, Doc! Okay right there make a right, go around the corner and pull into emergency.
Hawkes: (pulls up next to the emergency entrance doors) Hey Danny, congrats brother.
Danny: Thanks Doc.
(Danny runs up the stairs and down the hall once in the main wing he sees Lindsay, he sighs, then smiles, relieved that he has arrived on time).
Lindsay: (looking relieved) Hi.

Soon after, Lindsay and Stella are walking through the halls trying to get the baby to move faster. Lindsay is very worried about her capabilities as a mother and expresses her fears to Stella.
Lindsay fears her capabilities as a mother.
Lindsay: (walking down the hall) (sighs) Do they really think I am gonna just walk this baby right out of me? Why can't I be one of those women who just sneezes and before you can say God bless you, she's had the baby?
Stella: Think of what you'd miss out on, reminding your child of all those long painful hours of labor that you endured to bring them into this world.
Lindsay: I guess I could get some mileage out of that.
Stella: Uh huh.
Lindsay: I'm kinda scared, Stella.
Stella: Well, that's normal Lindsay. Just remember your healthy and strong. You and Danny went through all the courses...
Lindsay: I know I don't mean about having a baby, about being a mom. I mean what if I stink at it? And the worst part is I won't know until it is to late. She'll come home, she'll scream that she hates me, then in rebellion she'll get some part of her body pierced that's inappropriate. She'll get an infection, she'll wind up on antibiotics which we find out 12 years later they cause an eating disorder, and pretty soon I'm in therapy trying to save my whole family. I mean what if some people just aren't cut out to be parents? (She looks down at her enlarged stomach).
Stella: Well the fact that you already thought about all this, tells me that your gonna do just fine Linds.
Lindsay: I'm losing it, huh?
Stella: Yeah
Lindsay: (leans against wall): Oh, contraction, aghh.

In another part of the hospital, Danny and Adam are also walking through the halls and Danny is afraid that Lindsay might have twins or something could go wrong with the birth while Adam comforts him.
Danny freaks out before the baby arrives.
Danny: (walking down another hall) What if she has twins Adam? You hear stories about people being completely surprised. And you've seen Lindsay, I mean she's huge.
Adam: Whoa.
Danny: She knows it.
Adam: Relax, you saw the ultrasound it's not twins. Alright? You gonna be okay?
Danny: No, no I'm not. I might go into cardiac arrest once she's giving birth. (his cell phone rings) Mac, your here! No, no she hasn't yet. Alright, were on the fourth floor.
Eventually, all the detectives (except Danny) go back to work on the case. At the end Mac receives a text from Danny saying, "It is time." We then see Lindsay pushing to get the baby out, and going through a very painful time. Danny is beside her holding her hand and encouraging her and keeps looking down to see the baby come out.

Lindsay gives birth!
Lindsay: AHHHH!
Doctor: It's okay, that's okay, your doing great.
Danny: You can do it baby, good! (looks down to see if the baby is coming).
Lindsay: AGHHH!
Danny: Good! C'mon! Your doing great, your doing great!
Lindsay: AHHHH!
Danny: Good job! That's it baby, that's it sweetheart! Go ahead, c'mon! Push !
Doctor: Breathe.
Danny: C'mon!
Lindsay: AHHHH!
Doctor: Good job.
Danny: There she is! There she is! There she is!
Doctor: C'mon Lindsay keep it going, c'mon.
(the baby cries and Danny hugs Lindsay and smiles).

Finally, the whole cast (minus Sid and Angell) are gathered around Lindsay's hospital bed where she and Danny are admiring the baby. They soon hand her off to Stella, then Hawkes asks what the new baby's name is going to be. At the same time, Lindsay says Lydia while Danny says Lucy, and they just look at each other and smile. After passing the baby to Mac, Lindsay asks him if he would like to be the Godfather, and of course he accepts. Then Stella brings out a present and shows the happy new parents a cute little pink dress for the baby, as the camera slowly fades out.

The team meets the new baby!
Stella: (getting passed the baby) Hello. Well hello sweetheart. Hi. Hello. Oh, Danny, I hate to admit it but she looks just like you.
Danny: Yes...that's right, she's a knockout.
Mac: How you holding up?
Lindsay: I'm great...but, uh, she's gonna be an only child because I'm never doing that again. (everyone chuckles).
Hawkes: Do you guys have a name?
Lindsay: Lydia.
Danny: Lucy.
Flack: I guess that's a no.
Danny: Mac, we did agree on one thing.
Lindsay: We were hoping you would consider being her Godfather.
Mac: Absolutely, yes.
Hawkes: Made him an offer he can't refuse.
Flack: There you go, Godfather, that's code word for diaper change. (everyone laughs again).
Mac: (getting passed the baby) Whoa, whoa! Do I get to spoil her?
Hawkes: I think Danny's got that covered. (more laughter).
Stella: Oh! We forgot about the ohhs and ahhs. (grabs a present) Okay you guys ready? (pulls out a pink baby dress).
All: Ohhh!! (another present is pulled out) Ahhh!! (everyone starts talking to one another).
Stella: What do you think, baby girl? (fades out).

5x24 (Grounds For Deception): The baby is finally named, Lucy! She makes her first visit to the office and is a big hit. She adores one of the technicians, Blake, too much and that makes Danny jealous because he, "Is the only man in her life." So he goes to break up the visit and send the technicians off to work, as well as asking if Blake has any DNA to look at.
Danny Gets Jealous!
(Danny points the murder weapon like a sword towards Adam).
Adam: Whoa, easy there Priapus! You wouldn't want to hurt a mere mortal.
Danny: Pria...who?
Adam: Priapus. The male god of fertility.
Lindsay: (walks in) Oh that's what I call him.
Danny: That's right! (hugs Lindsay) Well my personal weapon aside I managed to piece together and analyze several remnants of a white substance Doc found at the scene. Looks like our murder weapon was concealed in plaster and it had an imprint. Adam, you score anything impressive?
Adam: As a matter of fact, ahh..no. The brown residue that Hawkes collected from the vics shirt, just turned out to be coffee grounds.
Danny: Huh. (looks at Lindsay) How's Lucy?
Lindsay: She's great, (points through the glass to the baby surrounded by the staff) her first visit to the lab is a big hit.
Danny: What a...what's Blake doing in there?
Lindsay: Oh, he is so good with babies, she adores him.
Danny: She doesn't adore him. The only man in her life is me.
Lindsay: Oh.
Danny: (goes over and knocks on the glass) Hey buddy, don't you have some DNA to look at? (Lindsay giggles and Danny goes into the other room).
Adam: Watch out Blake, here comes daddy!
Later, in the lab, when Lindsay is explaining what she found to Mac, he asks, "What are you doing here? Where is Lucy?" and she replies that Lucy is in ballistics and Lindsay is being paid to work part time and that she would leave soon. She just wanted to help with the case because "The lab would fall apart without me". Soon Danny walks in with Lucy strapped onto the front of him and he says, "After a diaper change, Lucy and I lifted a partial print." Then Lindsay looks at her family and smiles.

5x25 (Pay Up): After Angell's death Danny silently comforts Lindsay through small touches and hand holding.

Season 6

6x01 (Epilogue): Season 6 kicks of with some pretty intense Danny and Lindsay moments. It starts off with Danny struggling to grab a bullet that's on the ground. Since Danny is in his wheelchair, he is struggling to reach for it. Lindsay walks by and hands it to him. When Danny is examining the bullet, it triggers a memory of the night he got shot. When his "flashback" is over, Lindsay is behind him and asks:
Lindsay: What are you thinking about?
Danny: I'm thinking that, you know what this wheelchair needs? A side car for Lucy.
(Adam walks in)
Adam: Sounds like you need to pimp your ride yo! Some spinners, a sound system, hydraulics.
Lindsay: Adam, process the scene.
(Back to Danny)
Lindsay: Now don't get too comfortable in that chair.
Danny: Well, it's been a month. And I haven't felt a thing, no movement, no tingling, nothing.
Lindsay: Danny, you gotta be patient.
Danny: We gotta start thinking that this might be the way it is, this is what we gotta do.
Lindsay: Doctor said there's no permanent damage to your spine. The inflammation from the gunshot wound is causing temporary paralysis.
Danny: But how do you forget words like, "more than likely", "best case scenario", "60 percent chance of recovery"? How do you do that?
Lindsay: Well for one I'm an optimist. Another thing, if you don't recover, I'm gonna kick your butt.
Danny: Oh, so you're gonna tackle me now? Is that what you're doing?
Lindsay: Yeah, I am.
Danny: Yeah, well, you didn't need to use profanity, alright. You're too cute to do that.
(Lindsay kisses his head and gives his wheelchair a push)
Lindsay: Don't make fun of me.
Danny: What's that, Montana? You call that a push?

Later, they are comparing voice recordings of the lady that called Danny and on the tape he says "Yeah, Doc says I have a 10 percent chance of recovery." This is different than what he to ld Lindsay. She later finds him in their office and talks to him.
Lindsay: 10 percent chance of walking? You told me it was 60.
Danny: I just didn't wanna scare you.
Lindsay: You know what scares me Danny is that you think you have to lie to me. I want you to know that no matter what happens, I'm here to stay. Nothing is ever gonna change the way I feel about you. And you know what? 10 percent? I'll take it. That's a chance. That's hope. It seems like you've decided that it isn't enough.
Danny: No, no. I haven't decided anything.
Lindsay: I can hear it in your voice Danny, and that phone call. You're giving up--
Danny: No, no, Lindsay, I just don't need a cheerleader alright, babe?
Lindsay: You're right. You need a kick in the ass. Look, if I have to believe in you all by myself then I will.
(Lindsay pulls him closer to her)
Lindsay: I've gone the long shot before, Danny. I ended up with you.
(Silent pause)
Lindsay: They said there was a 10 percent chance of rain today and I brought my umbrella because 10 percent is enough for me to believe that it's possible.

Then, at the end, there is a scene with Lindsay holding Lucy! While she's doing that, Danny is trying to move his legs. On his second try, he wiggles the toes of his right foot, and when he does, he looks out the window and smiles, because it's RAINING!

6x02 (Blacklist-Featuring Gravedigger): There weren't really any Messer/Dantana moments in this episode. The first one I can think of is when Hawkes comments on Lindsay's choice of shirt and she tells him that Lucy threw up on all of her other shirts and that she's late because the sitter was caught in traffic. The only other moment I can think of is when Stella tells Lindsay that she hears that Danny is making progress. Lindsay replies that Danny has a little bit of feeling in his toes, so it's a start. Then Stella tells her that her fingers are crossed for Danny, to which Lindsay smiles.

6x03 (LAT 40° 47' N/Long 73° 58'W): Danny is doing chin-ups while waiting for some DNA results from the victim's phone. Lindsay comes in and wonders why he's not on his way to his rehab appointment.

Lindsay: Danny! What are you doing?
Danny: Processing the vic's phone.
Lindsay: Oh, of course. What was I thinking?
Danny: Flack had the victim's phone pinged. We found it in the dumpster. Waiting on the DNA results on the trace I found, so I figured I'd get a little pump in.
Lindsay: Don't you have physical therapy today?
Danny: Yeah, yeah. That's what I'm getting ready for.
Lindsay: (giving Danny an incredulous look)
Danny: What? You see Lucy lately, huh? She's standing up in her crib, cruising along the walls of the apartment. She's going to walk soon, Lindsay.
Lindsay: Danny, please tell me you're not competing with our 10-month old daughter.
Danny: No, I'm not competing with our daughter. I'm just sick and tired of being in this chair. I wanna run through Central Park with my daughter on my shoulders, ok? I wanna chase down boys who try to hit on her. I wanna dance with you, and her, at her wedding. So if you don't mind.....
Lindsay: (pulling him close, she kisses him and gives him a rub on the neck before she walks away) I don't mind at all.
Danny then continues to do his chin-ups.

Lindsay studies the handwriting samples with discontent; Danny wheels into the room.

Danny: I know that face!

Lindsay: What face?

Danny: The 'I don't like what I see' face. Kind of like the way you look at me when I'm trying to change Lucy's diaper.

(Lindsay chuckles)

6x04 (Dead Reckoning) The first Dantana moment is when Danny is at rehab and he is ready to give up. Hawkes gives him a pep talk and convinces Danny to keep trying.

(I know this is between Danny and Hawkes, but I thought it was really important to include)

Danny: Doc. What are you doing here? Where's Lindsay?
Hawkes: Working. I volunteered to come by and get you. So what was that?
Danny: What?
Hawkes: Danny, you gotta try way harder if you're gonna get up out of this chair.
Danny: Doc, you know what? I got a policy, buddy. I don't take advice unless I ask for it.
Hawkes: I got a policy too. I'm always upfront with my friends. With an injury like yours, you should have been up out of that chair weeks ago. You're not pushing yourself.
Danny: You kidding me? I'd give you five minutes with the pain that I feel every time I take a step.
Hawkes: Danny, I've treated hundreds of trauma patients that would trade places with you in a minute.
Danny: Look, you came here to take me to work, right? Let's go.
Hawkes: There was a fireman that came into emergency one day, big strong guy. Just hit a walk off home run at the department softball game. Rounded the bases, crossed home plate. His whole team piled on top of him in celebration. Broke his back. I never met anybody with a heart like this guy. Now it took a lot of sweat and pain and perservance, but eventually, yeah, he walked again.
Danny: Is that the end of that story?
Hawkes: He said "Pain is the payment for each precious thing". Try harder, Danny.
Danny: (angrily) Let's go! Come on, let's go!

The next day, the physiotherapist walks into the room the next day and is surprised to see Danny already out of his chair, at the practice bars. He tells her that he has some "precious things to pay for".

At the end of the episode, Lindsay is awoken by Lucy on the baby monitor. She gets up and makes her way to Lucy's room. She peers in and sees Danny's wheel chair and gets a curious look on her face. When she gets to the doorway, she sees Danny, standing, holding Lucy in his arms. Lindsay starts crying out of happiness. The episode ends with Danny holding his daughter.

6x05 (Battle Scars) October 21 Lindsay is neither featured nor spoken about in this episode. However, Danny is walking around quite well, although he is using a cane. When talking about which pieces of evidence he'd like to examine with Adam ("Door number one or door number two?"), Danny chooses door number one because "it's closer."

6x07 (Hammer Down) Lindsay and Danny are examining the cab of a semi truck. Danny has a questining look on his face when Lindsay asks what Danny is thinking about. He replies with "Other than the fact that we didn't take a honeymoon?"

6x08 (Cuckoo's Nest) Lindsay is once again, neither featured or spoken of in this episode. Yet, this is the first episode this season where Danny can finally walk on two feet.

6x09 (Manhattanhenge)
At the end of this episode the team is out to dinner.
Waitress: Ok we've got spaghetti and meatballs, chicken Parmesan, sauteed vegetables, garlic bread...
Adam: pass the garlic bread
Stella: Here you go
Mac: Thank you.
Waitress: And a bag of ice.
Danny: Ah! Graci, Graci!
Danny puts the bag of ice on his back. Lindsay's hand is on Danny's back.
Waitress: Enjoy
Danny: Alright
Lindsay: Thank you!
Mac: Alright.
Lindsay (to Danny): Got it? You Ok?
Danny: Yeah.
Mac: Here's to a great team. And to getting Hollis Eckhart off the street.
Stella: And to reminding us that life is fleeting and we should hold on to the people we love while we can.
(Danny rubs Lindsay's back)
Everyone: Cheers!
Mac: We did good.
Flack: We did. I think each and every one of us is gonna sleep well tonight.
Adam: Yeah.
Hawkes: Starting tomorrow I will be sleeping in my own apartment.
Adam: Nice. Score a new pad?
Lindsay: Please tell me it's not underground.
Hawkes: Well actually it just a rent control studio off bleaker.
Lindsay: Nice!
Flack: Good for you.
Mac: This mean I get my couch back?
Hawkes: Well actually, it's unfurnished.
Everyone laughs. Then everybody starts serving themselves and in the middle of that you can see Danny and Lindsay kiss. Short but sweet.

6x11 (Second Chances) In this episode the team is trying to catch a murderer who ran over a guy with a car, slowly. During the investigation Lindsay and Danny are trying to find out what car was used as a murder weapon.
Lindsay is in the lab, looking over the autopsy photos.
Danny: (whistles) How's it going?
Lindsay: Ah, better than I expected. The undercarriage left a pretty distinct sub-dermal bruising pattern all over Manning's torso.
Danny: Nice, I got a very usable tire tread impression from that crook who robbed Santa.
Lindsay: Great. I should be able to get a partial match to an undercarriage in our database.
Danny: Hopefully between the both of us we can narrow it down to a specific make and model. Teamwork.
They both turn around and Danny winks at Lindsay.

The second scene was with Stella and Danny looking over the car Lindsay found.
Stella: Steering columns intact, wasn't hot-wired, definitely started the old fashion way, with a key. Hey Danny I'm waiting for your boom.
Danny:(under the car) Ah, no more booms, Lindsay made me promise. She's afraid its gonna be Lucy's first word.
Danny looks around for a minute, then finds what he's looking for.
Danny: Boom.

At the end of the episode Mac has a little "volunteer" work for them. They end up dressed as elves and handing out presents to children. During this Danny and Lindsay sneak in a quick hug.

Drive For Your Life, Part 3

JecaCSI — Sat, 26 Dec 2009 14:55:11 CST

This is the third and final part of this story.

*I don't own any of the brands and songs mentioned here*

**There's abit of rougher language from time to time."

Hope you enjoy it,JecaCSI

Flack was in disbelieve: “It’s Lilly… She’s been taken.. I gotta go save her!”
He shifted into gear,turned on the siren and made a U turn.
“First,I’m going to my place,to talk to the boys,and then turn the entire city around to find her!”
Mac: What did they tell you?
Flack: Just that she’s been taken,and the uniform didn’t leave post since I left.
They were going almost a hundred miles per hour,barely making their way through the thick traffic of the afternoon rush hour.
Stella: Flack,I know you want to get there as soon as possible,but you can’t go on like this! We’re gonna crash somewhere,and then what?
Then a car just appeared in front of them.
Stella: Oh my God!
Flack turned the wheel to the right and barely avoided collision.
Mac: You okay?
Stella: Yeah…
Flack: I’m sorry,Stell… I just wanna get there and talk to them.
-It’s okay,… I understand… We’ll find her.- Said Stella giving him a warm look.
Ten excruciating minutes later they were in front of the building.
Flack ran out of the car into the building and up the stairs. A couple of seconds later,he was in his apartment.
Tens of police officers and CSIs were running around the apartment, gathering evidence and waiting for detective Don Flack’s orders.
-What happened? –Said Flack as he walked into his living room.
-" I was the one who called you,detective. I'm Carl Holmes."
Flack: Okay… Would someone please tell me what the hell happened with Lilly?!
Carl: Well,as I told you on the phone,I didn’t leave post since you left…
Ms. Thompson was in the bedroom for a few hours.
After some time,I came in to offer her something to eat,and she wasn’t there.
I checked the bathroom and the kitchen ,and then I saw that the window was opened.
Flack: How come you didn’t check the windows firs? You could have helped her!
Carl: Sir,I….
“Don’t you “sir” me! I wish I could fire you! You don’t deserve to be a cop!” –Said Flack and stormed out of the room.
Stella: I’m sorry… But he’s very upset…
Carl: Yes ma’am… I know that.
Stella ran for him… “Flack,wait! Please!!”
Flack was running up the stairs,towards the roof. “Leave me alone ,Stella!”
He got on the roof and put his hands on his head…
Then he satrted to pace nervously… He leaned on the edge…
“Why?! Why?! Why did it have to happen to her?!” –he yelled while hitting the ledge.
His big blue eyes started to tear up…
Stella was slowly walking towards him. “Don… Are you okay?”
Flack turned around :” Am I okay?! How can you even ask me that?!”
Then he walked up to her. “Stell… I’m so sorry… It’s not your fault… Here am I lashing at you like this,and all you want is to help me.”
Then he turned around and looked down…
“I can’t… Everything I touch I destroy… Terrible things happen to the people that I love! First Jess got killed… And now Lilly…
He leaned back onto the ledge… “I feel like it’s all my fault…”
“Don,you and I both know that isn’t true.” –Said Stella as she put her right arm around him. “You didn’t do anything wrong!”
-“That is the problem! I’ve done nothing to protect them!”
Tears started falling over his face… “I didn’t protect Jess… I didn’t save her!”
Stella: Flack…
Flack: And if something happens to Lilly… I… I will never forgive myself!
Stella put her hands on his face: “Listen to me Don,we are going to find her! And everything will be okay!”
He was looking at her with his teary eyes that were full of appreciation.
“And another thing,Jess’ death was not your fault!”
Thank you.” –Said Flack holding Stella’s hands while they were still on his face.
Then they hugged… And Flack was beginning to feel a lot better.
It was like someone lifted a huge weight of his chest.
He knew that someone was there for him in the second most difficult moment of his life and that was something that made him feel safe.
And it felt good but a little strange… Funny even…
He was usually the one who made people feel safe,and now he was as vulnerable as anyone else… And it felt horrible.
But now he felt strong… Like he can do anything… And all he wanted to do was to save Lilly.
A few moments of silence passed by,before Mac ran in:
We’ve got something,he said,as he was opening the door with one hand and leaning on the doorway with the other.
Flack: Let’s go!
The three of them ran down the stairs and back to Flack’s apartment.
Danny,Lindsay and Hawkes were already there,waiting for them,while Adam and Sid stayed in the lab.
Flack: What have you got?
Lindsay: Adam found some white powdery substance on George’s seat belt. Turns out it’s cocaine.
But not any kind of cocaine,it’s diluted with warfarin,diphacinone, and brodificoum .
Stella: Rat poison.
Lindsay: Exactly. Adam was able to narrow down to the manufacturer.
It’s called “Rat kill”. Basically it’s a new brand on the American market,but it has been well known in Italy.
Flack: The obsession of Julian Dominguez.
But how do we prove that it’s his coke?
Danny: We can’t… At least not yet.
Adam is running the chemical compound through any database he can think of,but there’s still no results.

In the meantime,Lilly was unconscious,tied up to a chair with a bag on her head.
Then a person walked in and took the bag off… Then pulled her head back by the hair and poured some water on her face.
Lilly woke up… But all she could see was dark… Then she heard footsteps.
Her captor was walking around her. And she was frightened.
Her eyes were getting used to the dark,but it didn’t do much good,cause all she saw was a dark silhouette that started to loom up.
But she started to feel a familiar smell.
It was actually very nice,though she couldn’t immediately remember how she knew it… But before she could continue thinking about the smell,the person took a water bottle and poured some into her mouth.
Which felt pretty good ,considering she hasn’t drank any since before she was taken. And how much time it passed since then,she didn’t know.
Then she remembered something she saw on TV a few months ago.
It was a documentary about people being kidnapped ,and it said that one of the most difficult things about it was not knowing how long has it been…
They lose sense of time… Now she understood how it feels…
She started gasping for air…
“Who… Who are you? Why are you doing this?”
There was no response.
She started kicking and trying to loosen the ropes.
“I know you’re still here! Why won’t you answer me?!”
The person laughed. She heard footsteps and then the door closed.
Her captor left,and she was all alone in that dark room.

Back in Flack’s place he got a phone call:
“Flack.”
-Hey Flack… It’s Adam.
-Adam,what you’ve got?
-I’ve got a hit on the chemical compound in the FBI data base.
Again,I know a friend who knows a friend who knows… Well,you know how it goes.
- Yeah… So who made it?
-A guy named Dawson… Bobby Dawson.
-Why does that name ring a bell?
-We worked his case a few years ago… Back in 05.
A guy named Adrian Bale who worked on Wall Street was found dead in his 5. Avenue apartment.
Turns out he OD-ed with cocaine lased with rat poison.
It was a pretty easy case…
- Yeah,yeah… I remember it… But I thought Dawson was in jail.
-He got out in February.
- Please,tell me you know where to find him.
-You disappoint me Flack. I thought you knew my abilities.
Flack laughed: “I’m sorry, genius of the lab.”
-Ha ha… I forgive you… You are one of my best buddies. C’mon, write down the address …
-Thanks Adam.
-Sure… You go find Lilly.
- I will.

“We’ve got an address!” –Said Flack.
Hawkes: Where?
Flack: SoHo.
It’s the address of Bobby Dawson… The drug dealer who we busted back in 05.
Hawkes: I thought he was supposed to be in jail.
Flack: He got out in February.
Hawkes: Let’s go get him!
The two of them got in the car and went to the address Adam gave them.
The traffic was pretty slow,which was very unusual for the Big Apple,so they got there much faster than expected.
The address that Adam gave them was a beautiful vintage building.
Hawkes: How come someone like Bobby Dawson wounds up living in a place like this?
Flack:That’s America,my friend,the land of possibilities.
Hawkes: Well.. God bless America!
The two of them got into the building.
Flack: Apartment number six…
Hawkes: Oh,here it is! It even says “Dawson” on the door.
Flack: Let’s see if the good Mr. Dawson still remembers us!
Yo Bobby! Open up!
Bobby (from the inside): Who is it?
Flack: It’s your old buddies!
Bobby opened the door.
Flack: Heya Bobby! Remember us?
Bobby pushed the door and ran inside.
Flack: rand towards him saying: “Oh, you gotta be kidding me! “
Hawkes ran out back.
In the meantime,Flack got out the fire stairs.
“Bobby stop! Seriously! I’m not in the mood!
(to himself): But then again,when can one possibly be in a mood to chase dirtbag suspects?!”
Both of them were already off the stairs and in an alley.
Bobby was still running: “Dude,what do you want?”
Flack: Look,I just wanna talk! Seriously!
Bobby: The last time you wanted to talk,you kicked my ass!
Flack skipped a parked car: “Well it’s cause you ran!”
Then he jumped and took Bobby down.
Bobby: Ouch! Dude! Be careful! This is my newest outfit!
Flack: See if I care! Get up!
Hawkes: You got him?
Flack: Yep! And he didn’t make it easy for me,either!
Hawkes: You’re coming with us to the precinct!
Bobby: Why?
Flack: Cause WE say so! Let’s go! I ain’t got all day!

While they were driving to the precinct,Hawkes got a text.
Flack: Got a text?
Hawkes: Yeah. It’s from Danny.
Flack: What does it say?
Hawkes (reads) :” Hey Doc. Just wanted to let you know that Adam decided to track Julian wife’s car too. And,again,he lost track in Brooklyn.”
Flack: Damn! Can’t we get any luck today?
Bobby: Can’t say I’m sorry for you!
Flack turned to Bobby: “Shut up!”
Bobby: Okay,okay!
When they came to the precinct Flack and Hawkes took Bobby to the interrogation room.
Flack: Have a seat,Bobby. Make yourself at home.
But then again,you’ve been here so many times it’s like your second home!
Bobby: Now wait man! I ain’t gonna let you diss me like this!
Flack: Oh come on,Bobby!
Remember your rat poison mix? And Adrian Bale who died from it?
Bobby:Yo man! I’m reformed!
Flack: Well guess what, man, I don’t believe you! So you better start talking… Fast!
Bobby: Or what?
Flack; Or you’re not gonna be so lucky this time!
Remember,this is your third strike,and we both know what that means!
Come on! Sing!
Bobby: “Silent night,holy night…!”
Flack: Well isn’t that just pretty? Trying to get us all into the Christmas mood!
And just so you know,you should stick to your day job! Oh wait! Your day job is ILLEGAL!
You should start talking before you make an appearance in a Christmas show in Rikers!
Bobby: Okay… What do you wanna know?
Flack: Now that’s more like it!
What do you know about Julian Dominguez?
Bobby: Whoa…. Dude… You didn’t tell me we was gonna talk about him.
Flack: Really? So why won’t you tell me what you know about him?
Bobby: Look man… He’s one crazy-ass dude… And I don’t feel like dying!
Well trust me,what ever he’s got installed for you… I can get worse. So talk! -Said Flack as he leaned on the table.
Bobby: Okay man… I don’t want no trouble!
The thing is,Julian asked some of my product.
Flack: How much is “some”?
Bobby: Five pounds.
Flack: What does he want to do with five pounds of rat poison lased coke?
Bobby: He wanted to make a party?
Flack gave him a look.
Bobby: A very big party?
Flack: Try harder!
Bobby: Okay… He and his crazy buddies wanted to sell some back in Queens.
Flack: Queens? I thought the Bronx was his turf.
Bobby: His wife is from Queens.
Flack: Luisa Dominguez is from Queens? I thought I heard some accent.
Bobby: But he never gave me the full amount of money! That ain’t fair!
Flack: Yeah… It’s so hard to have a reputable business these days!

Back on the other side of the city,Lilly was still in that room. It was dark and quiet and she was all alone and scared.
Hours have passed since the last time her captor came into the room. Or,at least,she thought so.
Again she remembered how captives lose sense of time… And that didn’t help her stay positive… She was on the verge of tears.
And she just couldn’t help feeling sorry for herself.
The past 24 hours have been the most difficult ones in her entire life.
Her brother was killed,she barely made it. Then someone tried to kill her in the hospital.
Later,she got shot at in Flack’s apartment and then got kidnapped.
She laughed,though she felt like crying…
“Oh,the irony of life!
My brother’s killers are still out there and I’m in this hellhole tied to a chair!
God really has a weird sense of humor!”
She had so many mixed feelings that it was almost impossible focusing on just one.
Then she heard the sound she new all to well. The door was opening and the person walked into the room.
Lilly felt that smell again… But now she remembered! It was perfume!
How didn’t she think of it before?!
And not just any perfume,but one of her favorites… “Angel”.
And she was sure of one thing,the person wearing it was no angel!
Then she remembered Angell:
Lilly whispered:”Look,Jess,if you’re out there… Please help… I didn’t know that long and I never asked you anything. But I really need your help now!
Her prayer was interrupted by the person who gave her more water.
Lilly finally felt calm enough to talk to her captor.
“Thank you.”
The person nodded.
Lilly: I know you’re a woman!
There was no answer.
Lilly: Why won’t you answer me?!
-“How do you know that?”
Lilly: Your perfume is “Angel”. It’s a woman’s perfume… One of my favorites.
And you have long nails. I felt them on my face when you gave me water.
Plus,you make really small steps,and it’s not something many men do.
There was a few moments of silence,and then she heard the voice: “Ok.”
Lilly: Ok,what?
“I’m a woman.” –the voice responded.
-Nice. At least I know something about you.
-Look… I don’t have anything against you.
-So why did you take me?
-It wasn’t me… I’m just here to make sure you don’t escape.
-So,the person who took me… Killed my brother?
-: I don’t know.
Better don’t ask questions that can get you killed!
Then she started walking away.
- Look,I didn’t mean to make you angry! Don’t go! I want to ask you something!
The door closed.
Lilly stared crying: “I’m sorry! I’m sorry… “
She was a mess. And just when she started thinking she was getting somewhere!
“Greg… I wish you were here… I mean,not in this damn room… But in New York… Alive!
I wish we were in that great new coffee shop in the Times Square.
And you would talk lots of jokes,especially the ones that I hate… Remember how most of them starts with “A man walks into a bar…”
I really wish you were alive!”
She felt like rivers of tears were flowing down her face…
After some time,she calmed down and started to think about a plan how to get out of there.
That’s why she decided to talk to that woman.
“Hey! Hey lady! I wanna talk to you!”
After a few moments the woman walked in.
“What do you want?”
-To talk…
-About what?
-I wanna know what time it is.
-It’s one o’clock.
-In the afternoon?
-At night!
-Wow… It’s been almost 10 hours…
-I’ll be right back!
-Where are you going?!
-Look,I said I’ll be right back!
And she was telling the truth. A few moments later she was back carrying a pillow and a blanket.
Then she pointed a gun to Lilly’s head:
“Just so you know,this is a Glock 9mm with a full clip and it’s ready to fire,so don’t even blink,unless you want a bullet in that pretty little head of yours! Understood?
-Yes. –Said Lilly with a shaky voice.
The woman untied her from the chair and led her to a bed.
There she put her a pair of handcuffs on her hands,re-tied her legs with duct tape and gave her a pillow.
Lilly: Why are you doing this?
-Everyone deserves some good night sleep. –She responded.
You might wanna take this too,she continued,and gave her a blanket.
Lilly: Thanks.
The woman left the room, without saying a single word.
Lilly covered herself with the blanket and lied down.
Then she started praying:
“Please God… Help me get out of this…
And help Flack find me…”
After that,she fell asleep.

Unlike her,Flack wasn’t getting any sleep…
He wouldn’t even leave the lab if it wasn’t for Stella who made him go home. "No one can go on without sleep" -She said.
And he really tried to fall asleep but it didn’t work. All he did was turn in bed for hours. Last time he checked it was 5 AM.
Flack was walking around the apartment… He was just in his underwear…
He walked to the window and laughed after seeing his reflection in the glass.
“You look like a teddy bear…. Hot but furry.”
Lilly would say that every time she saw him shirtless.
“I thought being hot matters more.” –He would always respond.
Now there was no one to laugh with him…
The girl he knew since he was just a little kid,the girl he cares about so much… The girl he was supposed to protect... And he failed!
He leaned on the window…
“What I’d give to trade places with her!
That I’m the one who’s kidnapped and she was free!
That she didn’t have to watch her brother die!
I would give my life this instant if it would save her!”
His thoughts were interrupted by the ringing of his phone.
“Flack”
Danny: Hey Don. It’s Danny.
Flack: What’s up,Danno?
Danny:Just wanted to tell you Adam got a signal from Luisa’s car.
Flack: You did?
Danny:Yeah! Like a minute ago.
Flack: Lemme guess… The signal is in Queens.
Adam: How did you know that?
Flack: It’s my 6. sense at work! –He smiled.
Bobby Dawson told me that Luisa is from Queens.
So did you get the address?
Adam: Do you think we’d call if we didn’t?
Flack: Why did I even ask?
Ok… Ok… I got it. Thanks boys.
Danny & Adam: Don’t mention it!
Danny: We’ll meet you there,by the way!
Flack: Ok.
Flack was multitasking as he was getting dressed and making a call the station,asking for a SWAT team.

In the meantime,Lilly was having a dream:
She was sitting in on the swing in their old neighbourhood.
Then she saw a shadow coming closer to her.
She turned around and saw her brother.
Lilly: Greg?!
Greg: Hey little sis.
Lily: But I thought you were…
Greg: Dead?
Lilly nodded.
Greg: I am…
Lilly: So how come I can see you?
Greg: It’s just a dream sis… And anything is possible when you are dreaming.
Lilly: Why are you here now?
Greg: To tell you that you need to run… Get out of here! Fast!
Lilly: Why can’t you stay here with me?
Greg: You and I both know that can’t happen.
Lilly: But why?
Greg: Cause I’m dead… Remember?
Lilly: Yes… I just wish you weren’t.
Greg: What can I say,darling… God works in mysterious ways…
Lilly hung her head down… Then Greg took her hand.
“Listen to me,sis… You need to wake up. And get away from here.
Lilly: But how?
Greg: I don’t know… First try to let yourself loose from that tape… I’m not really sure about the rest.
Lilly: But I thought one becomes smarter out there.
They laughed.
Greg: God can do only so much.
They both laughed again.
Greg: Now seriously,go!
Lilly: I love you Greggo.
Greg: I love you too,little sis.
He kissed her on the cheek and walked away.
Then Lilly woke up saying:” I gotta get out of here! But how? “
She tried to loosen up the duct tape but it didn’t work.
Luckfully she her eyes got used to the dark and she could finally see the entire room. A few feet from where she was now was a chair she was sitting on yesterday.
There was a chain on the ceiling with a light bulb,that was obviously not working.
Then she turned around and saw a painting hanging on the wall.
And suddenly it’s light bulb turned on in her head! She knew what to do!
So she stood up on the bed, took the painting of the wall and wrapped it into the blanket.
She waited for a few seconds to check if someone was coming,then took her shoe and broke the glass.
After unwrapping it she took a piece of glass and started cutting the tape. It took her only a few moments to do it.
She felt ecstatic. But it wasn’t over. Not even close.
The hardest part was about to come. Getting out of the room.
She took a deep breath,looked up and said: “Help me out,big brother.”
She hid all the pieces of glass except the biggest one that she held with both hands.
Then she yelled: “Hey! Come here! I wanna talk to you!”

The door opened and the woman came in.
She gave her some water and when she turned around Lilly stabbed her in the back. The five inch piece of glass was almost completely jabbed in her captor.
She screamed and Lilly ran as fast as she could.
The woman pulled her leg,but Lilly didn’t fall. She kept running.
Finally she got to the door. She slammed it and ran up the stairs and into the living room. There she found a phone.
She immediately called Don, who was in the car headed to Queens.
“Flack”
Lilly: Don… Please help me!
Flack: Lilly? Are you okay? Where are you?
Lilly: I’m in an old house. It’s got iron bars on the windows. And a white exterior.
Flack: Hang on for a second.
Control,this is detective Flack. I need to talk to Mac Taylor.
A few moments later,Mac answered: “This is Mac Taylor.”
Flack: Mac,it’s Flack. I’ve got Lilly on the other line.
I need you to trace the call.
Mac: Adam’s here with me.
Adam: I’m tracing it as we speak.
Flack: You hear that,Lilly? We’re gonna find you. Ok?
Lilly: Ok,Don.
Adam: I got her! It’s the house of Luisa Dominguez.
Flack: I’m on my way there!
Hang in there Lilly,I’ll be there in five minutes. Don’t hang up.
Lilly: I won’t! I’m to scared to do that.
Suddenly she heard a tumble.
She tried to get out of the house,but the door was locked.
And since the windows had iron bars that option wasn’t possible,either. So she ran into the bedroom.
In the meantime,Don was driving towards Luisa’s house. And he had a lot of backup behind him.
He took a sharp turn to the right and he was then in the street where Luisa’s place was. Only a few houses more and he was there.
The loud sound of sirens was filling up the air.
Flack ran out the car.
The SWAT team was already there.
He then climbed up the stairs,kicked down the door and yelled: “NYPD!”
The SWAT followed him.
They all yelled “Clear” as they moved through the house.
There was no one inside.
The SWAT team just found shattered glass and some blood in the basement and on the stairs.
Flack walked through the living room and into the bedroom.
Suddenly he heard a noise from the inside of the closet.
He pointed his gun and opened it. And Lilly was inside.
-Don?!
-Lilly!
Flack put his gun back to the holster. Then he yelled:” I found her!”
Lilly hugged him. She was crying…
Flack: Are you okay?
Lilly: Yeah.. . I just wanna get out of here.
Flack: Okay honey… Let’s get you out of here. But first let me get those handcuffs of. It’ll be over in a sec.
She lifted her hands up and looked him with her scared teary eyes.
Flack: What’s wrong?
Lilly: Nothing… I just don’t wanna let you go now.
Flack took the handcuffs of and threw them to the floor.
“It’s gonna be okay…” –He said and then put his arms around her.
“I’m here,and guess what,I’m not letting go.”
Then he gave her a kiss.
“I’m never letting you go. I promise.
Now what do you we get the hell out of this place?”
Lilly gave him a small nod and smiled.
Flack lifted her up.
Lilly: Whoa Donny! I can still walk,you know.
Flack: I know,I know. I just want you to rest now.
Lilly: Plus my image of a damsel in distress wouldn’t be complete if you wouldn’t carry me out of here.
Flack: Exactly! They laughed.
“ See? You can still read me like a book.” –Said Flack as he was carrying her out.
Lilly smiled and put her head on his left shoulder. She didn’t have to worry now. Don was there and she was safe.
The team was getting into the house ready to process the evidence.
They all smiled at Lilly and Don as they were coming into the house.

After a few hours spent in the ER Flack took Lilly back to his place.
Lilly: It’s funny that you’re letting me walk now.
Flack laughed. His bright blue eyes were calm again.
Lilly: He helped me,you know… Greg…
Flack: How?
Lilly: I had a dream about him this morning.
We were sitting on the swings in the park in our old hood… And he told me I needed to run… I asked me how. And he told me to try loosen the duct tape around my legs.
We talked some more. I said how much I miss him and that I’d love for him to be back in New York…
He said he loves me,gave me a kiss and left.
Then I broke the glass on the painting,called up the woman who kept me in there…
Flack: Wait,a woman?
Lilly: Yes. She was wearing a perfume named “Angel” , had long nails and made small footsteps. That’s how I figured it out.
And when I asked her about she confirmed it.
She also told me she didn’t kill Greg.
Flack: We think that woman was Luisa Dominguez,the wife of Julian Dominguez.
We think he was the one who killed your brother.
Lilly: Well that makes sense in a weird way… He killed Greg and his wife kept me locked in that basement.
She also said that she didn’t take me. That she was just there to make sure I don’t run away.
Flack: Do you remember anything else about the kidnapping?
Lilly: Just that the guy who took me was all in black.
I elbowed him in the head and broke a piece of his sunglasses,then he got all angry and hit me in the head… After that he dragged me to a green van and threw me in there. The next thing I remember was waking up in that hellhole.
Flack put his arm around her: “It’s gonna be okay… We’ll get them.”

Meanwhile,the team was processing the evidence in the lab.
Danny: Damn! Look at this! There are tons of stuff to process!
Lindsay: Come on… For the time you were nagging you could have processed some of it.
-“My beautiful wife… Always gets me back on track.” -Said Danny and kissed her.
Now let’s do this!”
Lindsay took the blood from the shards of glass found in the basement.
Then she extracted the DNA and put it through CODIS ViCAP and NCIC.
Later,Danny lifted prints from the glass shards. He found two sets of fingerprints.
One belonged to Lilly. He put the other one through AFIS and every other base he could think of. But here were no hits.
Lindsay came in: “What,no BOOM?”
Danny: Not this time!
How about you? Any luck?
Lindsay: Nothing. The DNA I extracted got no hits in any of the databases.
Then Danny’s phone rang.
“Messer.”
Flack: Hey Danno!
Danny: Flack! How you doin? How’s Lilly?
Flack: She’s ok…. Still in shock but she’s tough… I’m sure she’ll make it!
She just went to bed… I wanted to ask you for a favor.
Danny: Name it!
Flack: I need someone to come here and process the fire escape.
Lilly told me she elbowed the guy who took her and that she broke his sunglasses off. So I figured there could be a piece of it left here somewhere.
Danny: You figured it well. I’m on my way.

About half an hour later Danny was in front of Flack’s place.
He rang the doorbell and Flack opened the door.
Danny: Hey.
Flack: Hey Danny. Thanks for coming.
Danny: No problem. Is Lilly still asleep?
Lilly (standing in front of the bedroom): No she isn’t.
Danny: Lilly! Long time no see! He gave her a hug. How you doin’?
Lilly: Well… Pretty good. A lot better than before,actually.
Danny: I’m so sorry about Greg. He was a really good guy.
Lilly: Thanks D. Means a lot.
Danny: So,you said it’s on the fire escape?
Flack: Yeah. It’s gotta be there somewhere.
Okay then… Here we go! -Said Danny and put his gloves on.
He got on to the fire escape through the window and started looking.
“But I thought we searched your place!”
Flack: Yeah! But nothing was found there. Plus,I didn’t know about this till an hour ago.
Don’t worry Flack. I’m gonna search every nook and cranny! –Said Danny as he turned his flashlight on.
"Boom!"
Flack: You found something!
Danny: Yep! It’s a piece of plastic. I just need to get it out.
Would you hand me those tweezers please?
Flack: Sure. Here you go.
Danny: Thanks. So… Here we go! One piece of sunglasses!
I’m gonna go take this to the lab. I’ll call you when I find something.
Flack: Thanks Danno.
Danny: Sure Don. Bye Lilly!
Lilly: See ya!

Danny got into the car and before he knew it he was back to the lab.
He lifted a print from the inside of the glass and put it through the databases.
“Boom!”
Lindsay came in: “I said It once and I’ll say it again- I seriously think that’s gonna be Lucy’s first word!”
Danny: Hey Linds! –He smiled.
Lindsay: So,what have you got?
Danny: First.,the print I lifted off that piece of plastic I found in front of Flack’s window got a hit in AFIS.
It belongs to a guy named Dario Burke. A son of a prominent psychiatrist.,David Burke.
He did six months in Rikers for drug possession.
Lindsay: I bet daddy would be proud!
Danny: And guess what! He was Julian’s cell mate.
And second, I found the make and model of the sunglasses.
It’s from the telemarketing company called “Sit down shop” and the model is 0394095.
Lindsay: Let’s go talk to him!
Danny: Yeah! But wait?
Lindsay: What?
Danny: It’s six o’clock. The nanny’s going at seven.
Are you sure we’re gonna have enough time?
Lindsay: Don’t worry Danny. My mom and dad came in today from Montana.
They’ll be staying at some friends’ house,but they offered to babysit Lucy.
Danny: That’s great! I wish I knew about it… We could invite them to stay.
Lindsay: We can still do… And since Christmas is in a few days,we can all be together as a family.
Danny: Can you believe it? Lucy’s first Christmas!
Lindsay: I know… They grow up so fast!
They looked at each other and smiled.
Danny: There’s just one thing I need to do.
Lindsay: What’s that?
Danny: I have to compare the dioptre of that lens Stella found in Lilly’s hospital room with the dioptre of this peace of sunglasses I found on the fire escape in front of Flack’s window.
It took him some time to find the purple lens…
But when he finally found it he scanned it. Then he did the same thing with the piece of plastic.
Then he inserted the data into a specialized program.
It took only a few seconds to get the results.
Danny: I know you’re gonna kill me,but… Boom!
Lindsay laughed: ”So what did you find?”
Danny: Not only is the lens a match to Dario Burke’s prescription but it’s also a match to the part of sunglasses I found today.
Lindsay: But why didn’t we check that before?
Danny: Some new girl made a mistake while filing . I barely found it.
As far as I’ve heard,she got fired this morning… Looks like she was stealing chemicals from the lab.
Lindsay: Well,it’s good we found out about it on time.
Danny: Yeah…
Lindsay: So… Shall we,dad?
Danny: Absolutely! –He smiled.
Just let me grab the car keys.
Lindsay: No…Let’s walk… It’s not to far away from here.
Danny: Okay then…
It was already dark in New York and all the Christmas lights shined so bright, helping people to get into the holiday mood.
Danny and Lindsay were walking through the crowd.
About forty minutes later they were in front of Dario Burke’s building.
True. It would take them about half of that time if they took the car,but this was one of those nights where it would be just a shame to use the car unless you really had to.

There was a well dressed woman who welcomed them.
“Hello and welcome to the Burke apartment complex.
My name is Victoria Johnson. What can I do for you?
Lindsay: I’m detective Lindsay Monroe. This is detective Danny Messer.
We’re looking for Mr. Dario Burke.
Victoria: I’m afraid he’s unavailable right now. He is out of town.
Danny: Since when?
Victoria: Since this morning.
Lindsay: Do you know where we can reach him?
Victoria: I have his phone number. I will write you down his number.
Danny: Thank you.
Victoria: Here you go… Can I ask what is this about?
Lindsay: We just need to ask him a few questions.
Thank you for your time.

As they were walking out of the building:
Danny: You buying this?
Lindsay: No way!
Danny: The guy is there and they are hiding him.
Lindsay: But how do we prove that?
Danny: Let’s give him a call!
Danny typed In the number Victoria gave him and made the call.
“Hello.”
Danny whispered to Lindsay: He answered! Call Adam! Tell him to trace the call!
Lindsay nodded and called Adam:
“Hey Adam.”
Adam: Hey Lindsay! What can I do for you?
Lindsay: I need you to trace a call.
Adam: Sure. Who’s?
Lindsay: Danny is talking to a suspect. Can you find him?
Adam: I’ll do my best.
Danny: Can I speak to Dario Burke?
Dario: That’s me… Who are you?
Danny: My name is Danny Messer and I’m a friend of your father.
Dario: What’s this? Another intervention?
Danny: Intervention? What are you talking about?
Dario: The last time I had anything to do with my father’s friends I practically got ambushed.
Danny: Ambushed?!
Dario: Yeah! Ambushed. They call it an intervention but it’s just a bunch of useless idiots who want to suck up to my father.
I guess they think that they’ll get some of his money or a penthouse in his apartment complex or something like that.
Danny (whispering to Lindsay) : This guy thinks I’m Doctor Phil!
Lindsay: You just keep him talking for a little while.
Then to Adam: You got it?
Adam: Almost there… Got it!
Your boy Dario is in the Bronx
Lindsay: Where exactly?
Adam: He’s in Julian’s old place.
Lindsay: Send some backup and call Flack. Tell him we’ll be right there.
Adam: Will do!
Lindsay pulled Danny by the sleeve and whispered: "We got him! He’s in the Bronx. In Julian’s old place."
Danny: Let’s roll!
Dario: What?
Danny(as he was getting into the car) : I said “Is that all?”
Dario: What do you mean?
Danny: Well… You know… Is that all you think your father’s friends would do for his money?
Dario: No… They would do anything! For real!
Danny: And how does that make you feel?
Dario: I don’t know dude! Betrayed?
Danny: I’m sorry… Do you think he’s ashamed of you? I mean your father?
Dario: Yeah… I’m like the cousin you don’t show off…
I’m not like my little sister… Finishing Harvard Law. No trouble at all! Annoying little brat!
Lindsay: We’re almost there! I just have to make another left turn… Okay… We’re here!
They got out of the car. The backup was already there and so was Flack.
They broke down the door and got into the house yelling “NYPD!”.
Dario was on the sofa. He saw Danny with the phone in his hand.
“So,I’m guessing you’re not a friend of my father.”
Danny: No.
They cuffed him and took him downtown.
Danny and Flack were going to the interrogation room.
Flack: Nice job… Holding Dario on the line.
Danny: Thanks.
Flack: But “How does that make you feel”?! That was just…
He started laughing. “A move of a pro!”
Danny: Cut me some slack,Flack! I had to wing it!
Flack: And you were winging it all right! Doctor Danno! -He started laughing again.
Danny: Ha ha! Very funny! Can we go interrogate this guy now?
Flack: What ever you say… Doctor!
The two of them got into the interrogation room where Dario was sitting with his legs on the table.
Flack: Come on! Legs down!
See that Messer? No respect!
Danny: Yeah… Today’s rich kids… No respect what so ever.
Dario: So what do you want?
Flack: Nice glasses! What happened to your contacts?
Dario: Don’t wanna wear them anymore!
Flack: Really? See… I don’t believe you!
Dario: See… I don’t care!
Flack (to Danny) :” Show the man what you found.
Danny: This is your contact lens…. Purple…
Flack: Our boy Dario here likes some...How do they say is? "Extravaganza"!
Danny: We found it in the hospital room of Lilly Thompson.
Flack: Remember her? It’s the woman you tried to kill!
Danny: And you know what this is?
It’s a piece of your sunglasses.
Dario: You can’t prove that!
Danny: Yes we can! The dioptre of the sunglasses matches the dioptre of the lens. And all the other parameters match.
Flack: And guess what! We found this,too. You know what it is?
It’s the rest of YOUR sunglasses,we found behind the sofa you were sitting on.
Danny: Anything you wanna share with us?
Dario didn’t say a word…
Flack put his hands on the table: “Talk!”
Dario: Okay,okay!
Look… Julian asked me to go and shut her up.
I went to the hospital. There were some lab coats so I grabbed one,put it on and went to her room.
Flack was getting nervous…
Danny: Then what?
Dario: Then I snuck into her room and tried to smother her with one of those pillows,but the ***** scratched me and then a nurse came in and called security so I had to run away.
Flack: Nice! Aren’t you a brave guy… Attacking women in the hospital!
Why don’t you try to take down someone of your own size?!
Dario: You want a piece of me?!
Flack: So what if I do?
Dario: Don’t tell me! The chick in the hospital is your girlfriend?
Too bad that nurse came it,we could have some good time!
Flack pinned him down the wall:
Now listen to me you pathetic excuse for a man,by the time I’m done with you,they’ll have to put you into a women’s prison!
Danny was pulling Flack away from Dario: “Let him go Don! He ain’t worth it! Let him go!”
Flack threw Dario to the ground and stormed out of the room.
Danny followed him.
“Flack! Wait!”
Flack: Not now Danny… Not now!
Danny: Look,I understand why you did this… And I’m sure I’d do the same if I were you,but you could get suspended,even fired!
Flack: So what if I do?
Danny: Don’t say that,Flack!
Flack: Or what?
Danny: Don’t take it down on me,Don! You know that I’m just trying to help!
Flack: I know man… And I’m sorry. But I’m not gonna let anyone talk about her like that!
Danny: Don listen to me. You need to keep it together.
We’re about to take them all down and we need to make everything right!
For Greg… And Lilly.
Flack: Ok. You’re right.
Danny: Since we got the warrant,I’m gonna go take a buccal swab from Dario and then go back to the lab and compare his DNA to the DNA I’ll extract from the scrapings Stella took from under Lilly’s nails.
Flack: Look… I don’t mean to sound like an ass,but why didn’t you extract the DNA from the scrapings the night Lilly was attacked?
Danny: Nah… It’s okay… There was some new girl in the lab was stealing chemicals and that’s not the only reason she got fired.
She was also making mistakes in the filing of the evidence.
The only good thing is that none of the evidence were compromised. We even got the “green light” from the court this morning.
Anyway… That’s why we didn’t find the lens and the scrapings till now.
Flack: Thanks for letting me know.
Danny: Sure… See you in the lab.
Flack: See ya.

Danny walked in back to the interrogation room.
“Open wide,Dario!”
Dario: You again! What do you want now?
Danny: I’m here to take your DNA.
Dario: Hey man,you can’t do that! You’ve got no right!
Danny got the warrant out of his back pocket:
“Well,this piece of paper says I can!
Now,do you wanna open up or should I call someone to give you a hand?”
Dario said “Fine!” and opened his mouth.
Danny took a swab: “See how that was easy!!”

When je came back to the lab,first he extracted the DNA from the scrapings from under Lilly’s nails and then he compared it to Dario’s DNA.
Danny: Boom!
Stella: It’s a match?
Danny: Yep! Dario is going down and so is Julian.
Stella: That’s great! But how do we prove Julian ordered him to do that?
Danny: We’ve got Dario’s testimony plus,we have evidence that Julian was the one who killed Greg.
Then Adam came in smiling: “I’ve gooot somethiiiiing!”
Danny: Whaaaat?
Adam: See this? It’s a piece of steel.
Danny: Thanks for enlightening Adam!
Adam: Easy there! I’m not done. This isn’t an ordinary piece of steal!
This piece of steal is the final touch,the crucial piece of evidence that will help us nail Julian Dominguez!
Stella: Now you’re making more sense.
Danny: So what’s so important about it?
Adam: Well this morning New York’s finest raided a chop shop in Queens. And among other stuff they found THE car! The one who killed Greg Thompson.
Stella: And the point in all of this is…?
Adam: I’m getting there!
Anyway,in there they found almost all of the pieces of our killing car,including the tires that Hawkes is analyzing as we speak and this precious piece of steel, containing the VIN number.
Danny: That’s great!
Stella: This connects Julian to our murder weapon!
Adam: We got them baby!
After a moment of awkward silence…
Adam: I’m gonna go now… Lots of things to do around here…. Bye!
Danny: I’ll go call Flack.
“Flack”
-Hey It’s Danny.
-Oh hey Danno.
-I’ve got good news!
-Ok…
-A chop shop in Queens was raided this morning and they found Julian’s Ford Focus. Well actually it’s in pieces but we’ve got the most important parts.
-Are you sure that’s his car?
-A 100%. Adam matched the VIN number.
-Let’s go get him!

A little later,on the 5. Avenue,the boys were ready to arrest Julian.
Flack pounded on the door: “NYPD! Open up!”
Danny: We know you’re in there!
Flack nodded to the SWAT team and they busted down the door.
They were all yelling “Clear!” as they were going through the apartment.
Flack went to bathroom and there he found Julian hiding in the Jacuzzi: “The bravery of a common criminal!”
Julian turned around.
Flack: Don’t move! You know what,don’t even blink!
Flack got him out of the Jacuzzi and cuffed him.
Julian: I’m gonna be out before you know it!
Flack: Trust me,no lawyer is gonna help you now!

When they got to the station Flack took Julian to the interrogation room:
“Have a seat… It’s your usual place,right?”
Julian gave him a short ironic grin.
“Very funny! Too bad you don’t work as a comedian,then you would have some money to buy a new suit.”
-Dissing my style… Smooth!
But you know what,I’d rather work my job and go in my suits than do what you and your guys do and wear Armani.
-Any girl fall for that?
-More than you can imagine. –Said Flack smiling.
-Well what do you know! Cop by day, dawg by night!
Flack raised his eyebrows and laughed… “Well someone’s gotta do it!”
Anyway,I didn’t bring you here cause of the small talk.
I brought you here cause of murder!
Remember all the evidence we showed you the last time you were here?
He opened the folder that was on the desk and showed Julian the pictures.
“This is your full palm print on Greg Thompson’s car.
See this? This is your DNA on Greg Thompson.
And this is the latest one- These are the paint chips found on the scene.
They belong to a Ford Focus. YOUR Ford Focus!
And the last but not the least-The VIN number from the blue Ford Focus we found this morning in a chop shop in Queens,says the car belongs to you.
Julian wasn’t saying anything.
Nothing to say Julian? –Asked Flack..
That’s okay… I’ll do the talking!
We know you told Dario Burke to kill Lilly Thompson in the hospital!
We also know that you bought some of Bobby Dawson’s “special product”.
Then Hawkes came in: “And that’s not all we have!”
Flack: Oh,hey Doc.
Jullian,this is doctor Sheldon Hawkes. And he’s got more evidence that will help us throw you into Rikers and forget the key.
Hawkes: I’ve just finished testing the tires from your car.
The soil I found in them matches the soil in front of your place on the 5. Avenue.
Flack: Maybe I don’t wear Armani,but I think that’s the last nail in your coffin.
Julian: Where’s my lawyer?
Flack: Oh,he’ll be right there. Don’t you worry about that.
But remember what I said when I was cuffing you? No lawyer is gonna help you!
Then Julian’s lawyer came in,and Hawkes and Flack got out of the room.
Flack: I don’t wanna jinx this,but I think we’ve got him!
Hawkes: We’ll see what happens after his lawyer gets out.
But I think we’re good.
The boys stood in the hallway for about ten minutes.
And then the lawyer, Mark Johnson,got out of the interrogation room and walked up to Flack and Hawkes: “We’d like a plea.”
“I don’t think so!” –Said a woman as she was walking into the hallway.
Who are you? –Asked Mark.
-I’m Catherine Dimitrio,the new ADA. –She responded .
-I don’t think you have considered the case well enough.
-Oh,I considered it very well, Mr. Johnson and I gave you my answer.
-I don’t think your boss will agree.
-The fact that I have a boss doesn’t mean I don’t have a brain.
Besides,I’m coming from his office. And I have his blessing,so to speak.
We’re going to court and I’ll be asking the death penalty!
And we’re also going to prosecute Dario Burke and Bobby Dawson.

Moths have gone by.
One team member testified after the other and so did Lilly.
Evidence were shown and explained to the jury and finally,after four months the verdicts were in.
The verdicts for in Bobby Dawson’s and Dario Burke’s case were the same: Guilty and a life sentence.
But the most important one was supposed to come in on Monday.
Flack and Lilly were walking into the courthouse.
Flack: Nervous?
Lilly: You’ve got no idea!
Flack took her hand: “Don’t worry,I’m sure the jury will vote guilty.
Lilly: You do?
Flack: Yeah! No way Julian is gonna walk with all that evidence!
And Catherine,the new ADA gave a great closing.
Lilly: Thanks Flack.
And as they were walking into the courtroom Luisa passed them by.
She was turning her head away from them.
And Lilly sensed that perfume... so she told Flack: “Don,that’s her! That’s the woman who kept me locked in that basement!”
Flack: You sure?
Lilly: Absolutely!
Flack: Mrs. Dominguez! Luisa!
She ran. Flack took his gun out and ran after her and so did Lilly.
Flack: Lilly,stay here!
Lilly: No way ,Don! She kept me hostage and there is no way I’m sitting here doing nothing!
Flack: Ok,but stay behind me!
Luisa! Wait! Stop!
Luisa ran into the ladies’ room. Don and Lilly followed her.
Flack: Luisa Dominguez! Show yourself!
Suddenly,Luisa jumped from behind the door holding a knife trying to stab Flack.
Don! Look out! –Yelled Lilly and jumped at Luisa.
Flack: Lilly! No!
Lilly took Luisa down and wrestled with her trying to take knife while Flack was trying to separate them.
Luisa: You shouldn’t have done this!
Lilly: After what I’ve been through in the past few months I don’t give a damn!
Luisa: I’m gonna make you pay for this!
Lilly: How? You’re gonna lock me in another basement,somewhere in Queens?!
Then she hit Luisa’s hand to the floor and took the knife.
Flack picked Luisa up and cuffed her.
“You okay,Lilly?”
-Yeah,don’t worry.
The officers took her to the precinct.
Lilly: We gotta to the courtroom.
Flack: We will.don’t worry.
Lilly: Look at you! Your tie is all messed up. Let me take care of it.
Flack: This reminds me of that homecoming in the 11. Grade.
I didn’t even know to make a descent knot on a tie.
Lilly: But I fixed it.
Flack: Like always… You always helped me. Even now,you just saved my life.
Lilly: Well after all you’ve done for me,that was the least I could do.
Flack smiled: “See what you’ve done to me? I’m blushing.
Now how am I supposed to go in front of the judge like this?"
Lilly smiled back: "I’m sure she’ll understand.
Besides,that’s just a part of your immense charm.
How do I look?"
Flack: Fantastic,as always!
Lilly: Now I’m the one who’s blushing!
They laughed again.
Flack: You ready?
Lilly: Yes. Let’s go.

When they got into the courtroom.the jury was getting ready to read the verdict.
Judge: In the matter of the State versus Julian Dominguez for the murder of Greg Thompson in the first degree,attempted murder and drug possession with the intention to sell how do you find?
Foreperson: We find the defendant guilty.
Judge: We will meet tomorrow at 10 AM to decide on the sentence.
Members of the jury, the court thanks you for your service.

Lilly started crying.
Flack: Are you okay?
Lilly: Yeah… Don’t worry… I’m just glad it’s all over.
Flack: Yes it is! We got him baby! They hugged.
And then Flack’s phone rang.
“Flack.”
-Hey Flack,it’s Adam.
-What’s up Adam?
-You’re in a good mood. How did it go?
-Guilty!
-Awesome!
-So what did you wanna say?
-I compared the DNA found in the house where Lilly was kept to the DNA of Luisa Dominguez and it’s a match.
ADA Dimitrio is taking her to court and she thinks it’s gonna be a slam dunk.
-Great! I’ll go tell her. Thanks Adam.
-Any time!

Flack: Guess what! Luisa Dominguez will go down too.
Adam compared her DNA with the one found in the house you were kept and it’s a match.
Lilly: That’s great,Don!
Now I’m sure there’s justice in this world.

The next day Julian was given the death sentence.
And only a month later Luisa Dominguez was convicted for kidnapping and was sentenced to 50 years.
Lilly and Don were walking around the Central Park.
Flack: It’s all over now!
Lilly: Yeah. Can you believe it? I can go back to my life now…
Don gave her a kiss and put his arm around her : “I told you everything is gonna be okay.”
They were walking for a while and then Don asked her: I was wondering…. Would you go with me to a place?
Lilly: Sure? But where?
Flack: To Jesse’s grave. Today is 8 months since she died and I… I really can’t go alone… I mean,I’ll understand if you don’t want to…
Lilly: No… Don… Of course I’ll go!
It took them about an hour to get to the cemetery.
Then they got out of the car and walked to Angell’s grave.
Flack put a white rose on her grave.
“Hey Jess… I… I’m not sure what to say…”
Lilly: I’m gonna give you some space… I’ll be over there if you need me.
Flack: Okay… Thanks…
Lilly walked away and Flack started talking:
“You know... I used to drink a lot… Especially in the first few months…
Figured,if I was drunk I wouldn’t feel the pain anymore… The truth is the only thing I was getting was a terrible headache in the morning.” –He smiled for a bit.
“But I’m better now… Everyone is supporting me… And they’re helping me a lot.
They miss you too,you know…
And I miss you so much!
I miss seeing you,I miss talking to you… I miss everything about you…”
Tears started coming down his face…
“I love you Jessica Angell and I will never forget you!”
He stood there for a few minutes and then wiped off his tears and turned to Lilly.
She walked up to him. “Are you okay,Don?
-Yeah… I’m fine… Don’t worry!
-What do you say we go to the lab and that I take all of you guys to lunch?
-That sounds great.
So they went to the lab.
There everyone was sitting in Mac's office eating takeout.
Lilly: Now put that down! I’m gonna take you to some real lunch!
Danny: Lilly! How you doin’?
Lilly: Great! Everything is over now.
Adam: So what’s that lunch you were mentioning?
Lindsay: Adam!
Lilly laughed: "That’s okay! We can go right now if you all want."
Lindsay: So,where are you taking us.
Lilly: It’s a surprise.
About fifteen minutes later…
Stella: “Marco’s.”
Lilly: Yes… It’s a full circle now,I guess…
Everything started when Greg and I were headed to this place,and now,six months later,it finally ends right here.
They got into the restaurant.
And “Marco’s” was really one of the best places New York can offer.
It was modernly equipped,fancy but not too “posh”.
A place where you can bring your family and friends enjoy good food and have a great time. Even see a celeb or two.
Then a hostess walked up to them:
“Hello,welcome to “Marco’s.” How can I help you?”
Lilly: Hi. We'd like to get a table.
Hostess: Okay. For how many people?
Lilly: Nine.
Hostess: Do you have a reservation?
Lilly: No. It was kinda unexpected…
Hostess: Let me see what I can do.
In that moment a man passed them by.
“Lilly?! Lilly Thompson?”
-Marco DiMaggio! How are you?
-Great! You?
-I’m good. It’s a nice place you’ve got here!
-Thanks! Glad you like it! So what brings you here? Wait…. The trials are over?
-Yes! We won!
-Congratulations! You know what,I’m sure Greg would be very proud of you.
-Thanks Marco,
-So,why are you all standing here?! Let me take you to your table.
So this is it. Our very best table.
Stella: It’s beautiful.
-Thank you Ms…?
-Bonasera. Stella Bonasera.
Marco: Right. I saw you on the funeral… Well I saw all of you there.
You all work for the NYPD,right?
Flack: Yeah.
Marco: Donnie! How you been?
Flack: Great! Everything is doing good now.
Lilly: So you wanna sit with us?
Marco: If I got time… I’ll cook for you today!
Lilly: We’re very lucky,he’s the best in the business,you know!
They all sat down and Marco left to the kitchen and very soon he started bringing the dishes.
Marco was sitting with them and then running to the kitchen to stir and pour everything. Then he would bring it all to them. Afterward ,the cycle repeated itself again.
Ten courses later they were all “stuffed.”
Danny: I’m full! But really… Marco,this was seriously the best lunch I ever had!
No offense to my amazing wife.
Lindsay laughed: Non taken! I never planned to compete with a decorated chef.
It was a fantastic meal Marco. Thank you.
Marco: Thank you. Means a lot to be praised like this by New York’s finest.
Lindsay: Well,since Christmas is on Friday, we’d like to invite you all to our home for dinner.
Danny: Unless of course,you already have something planned.
Marco: I’m sorry,but I won’t be able to come… I’m going to Italy,to see the rest of my family.
Lilly: We're gonna miss you.
Stella: I’d love to.
Mac: I think we would all be honored to be there.
Lindsay: Great! So Friday at 7?
Hawkes: Sounds great!
Lilly: We should get that check now,Marco.
Marco: Check? What check?
Lilly: The one for the fantastic ten course meal you made us.
Marco: Oh that? That was a pleasure! And there’s no check for you guys!
Lilly: What do you mean?
Marco: I mean that this is on me.
Lilly: I can’t let you do that!
Marco: Of course you can! It’s my place and I can do whatever I want!
Well okay… Not everything,but you get the point!
Lilly: Marco….
Marco: Nothing “Marco”. It’s a pleasure to cook for you.
Flack: I’d like to propose a toast… To Jessica Angell,who lost her life on duty exactly eight months ago.
Stella: She was an amazing person…
Mac: And we will never forget her. To Jess.
Everyone: To Jess!
Lilly: And to Greg,who lost his life five months ago.
Flack: He was a fantastic guy and we all miss him.
And they all raised their glasses for two amazing people who tragically lost their lives.
They sat there for a little while longer,and then they all went their separate ways.

The next four days passed very fast.
People were doing the popular last minute Christmas shopping, planning their holidays with family and friends and enjoying the start of another amazing Holiday season.

Lilly was in her apartment getting ready.
The gifts she bought a few days ago were already wrapped and ready to go.
She gave a call to her parents who were in DC visiting their cousins and wished them a Merry Christmas.
It was 6:30 and she was ready to go. Then she heard a doorbell,so she went to answer it. It was Flack.
-Hey.
-Hi Flack. Just let me grab my coat and we can go.
What? Why are you looking me like this? Do I have something between my teeth?
-No,of course not. –Said Flack smiling.
It’s just… You’re the lady in red now… And you look fabulous. And just so you know, “fabulous” isn’t the word I use very often.
Lilly looked at him and smiled.
“You’re not so bad yourself. Nice suit,I even like your tie.”
They both laughed and then Flack said: “Anyway… These are for you.” And handed her a bouquet of red roses and a nicely wrapped box.
-I always loved roses! They’re beautiful,thanks Flack!
And what’s this?
-Open it.
-Okay… Let me se what do we have here… Wow! This is amazing! Are these…?
-Diamonds? Yep! I saved up some money and decided to surprise you.
-It’s gorgeous Don. Thank you so much! You wanna help me put it on?
-Sure,said Flack and got out a white gold necklace with a small diamond pendant and put it around Lilly’s neck.
-It’s just… Perferct! –Said Lilly smiling.
And now, I’ve got something for you. She handed him a box.
Flack opened the box and in it was a watch.
“Whoa! A Rolex? For real?"
-It’s as real as it gets! I guess law school really pays of! You give me diamonds,I give you a Rolex…
-It’s like the Trumps. –Said Flack laughing.
-Well, there’s only one Christmas per year.
-Thank God,or the whole nation would go broke! –They laughed again.
You ready?
-Yeah. Let’s go.
They drove to Danny and Lindsay’s place. Lindsay welcomed them in.
“Hi! Merry Christmas. You look great! Nice tie,Flack.”
Lilly: Thank you… You look radiant Lindsay.
Lindsay: Wow… I’m flattered.
Flack: Hey LInds,you look great too,but if someone mentions my tie again…
Danny: Hey Merry Christmas you two!
Flack & Lilly: Thanks Danny,you too!
Danny: Lilly, you look awesome! I can’t say anything else… I am a married man.
Lindsay: Yes you are! They all laughed.
Danny: Oh,nice tie Don!
Flack: Yeah,yeah Messer!
Lindsay: Come on in! Or would you rather stay in the hallway?
Lilly: We’ll come in… Though you have a really nice hallway.
Lindsay: Thanks.
Lilly: Oh, I almost forgot! These are for you.
Lindsay: Wow! Thank you! Look Danny,little earrings for Lucy.
Lilly: I hope you like them. It’s always good for a girl to have some bling.
Danny: I don’t know that much about it,but they look great to me.
Lilly gave Lindsay an envelope: And this is for you.
A week in the Royal spa. All inclusive and everything.
Let’s face it,dear,you deserve a little pampering. It’s a two person arrangement so you can take Danny with you.
Lindsay: I’ll have to think about it! Just kidding! It can be our honeymoon.
Danny: Thanks Lilly.
Lilly: And Danny gets the biggest bag! Here you go.
Danny: Let’s see… A leather jacket… Great! Thanks Lilly!
Lindsay: Put it on!
Danny put the jacket on.
Adam: Awesome!
Lilly: Hey Adam! Merry Christmas!
Adam: Merry Christmas Lilly,Flack.
Lilly: And this is for you… Since you are addicted to gadgets just like me…
Adam: An iPod touch! Dude… Cool! Thank you Lilly!
Lilly: You’re very welcome!
Lindsay: So are we finally gonna get in or what?
Flack: Okay… We will…
They all walked into the living room.
Lilly and Flack: Merry Christmas everyone!
Everyone: Merry Christmas!
Stella was holding Lucy.
Lilly: Oh hey Lucy! She is so adorable`!
Lindsay: These are my mom and dad,Anna and John.
Don and Lilly shook hands: "It's very nice to meet you.
Lilly: Okay… So let me give you all the goodies first… So this is for Stella…
Stella: These earrings are amazing! Thank you so much.
Lilly: For Mac…
Mac: Cufflinks… Thank you,Lilly… They’re beautiful.
Lilly: And for Hawkes.
Hawkes: Wow… This is classy! I planned to change my eyeglass frame one of these days…. Thanks.
Lilly: And last but certainly not the least… Sid! This is for you.
Sid:Tickets to Lithuania. This is so wonderfully unexpected. Thank you.
Lilly: I know how much you wanted to “connect” with your roots so I thought this is the right time for that.
Oh,how could I forget! This is for Mr. and Mrs. Monroe.
Anna: A laptop computer?
Lilly: Yes... It's got a camera and everything,so you can see your granddaughter anytime you want.
John: Thank you very much.
Danny: Let’s eat people! Cause I don’t know about you,but I’m starving!
They all sat down the table.
Lindsay: I think we should say grace.
Everyone held hands.
Lindsay: God,thank you for keeping us healthy this year.
Danny: For giving us Lucy.
Flack: For eventually giving us peace we needed.
Lilly: For helping us when we needed most.
Stella: For giving us strength
Mac: And wisdom
Hawkes: And courage.
Adam: For the small things in life that make us happy.
Sid: For family.

CSI: New York to win a Emmy Protest

DLsmackedLUVER~ — Fri, 25 Dec 2009 13:22:49 CST

CSI:NY deserves to win a Emmy. On a particular thread we were talking about how sad it is that CSI: New York is the only CSI not to have won a Emmy and we think that should change.

Dannylover2009-CSI:NY is a phenominal show and deserves the attention of the Emmy's. The preformances in many of the wonderfully creative episodes are always stand-out! "Pay Up" and "Snow Day" are always in my mind from past seasons. And "Cuckoo's Nest" and the plot connceted to the Compass Killer was just enthralling. I feel that this show deserves its moment in the sun! It is very deserving of an Emmy.
elvisgirl21-they sholuld totaly win an emmy.

June-Bug: Seriously, y hasen't it! They have depth to their character's and a variety of storylines!

Dantana, How it Happened.

DLforeverl — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 18:38:38 CST

This is just me interpretation on how things happened with Danny and Lindsay. A sort of before and after if I may. Oh and since this is based what happened their are spoilers if you haven't seen all the episodes. Also I own nothing and the chapters are named by the episodes in which they happened. The only thing I own is what I created in my imagination, the stuff the camera didn't catch. :)

Chapter One: Zoo York

It had been a while since Aiden Burn, one of Danny's closest friends, had be dismissed from the New York Crime Lab. Danny's relationship with Aiden wasn't one of attraction, it was friendly, Aiden more of a sister to Danny than anything else. So when Mac had told Danny that there was gonna be a new CSI he was a tad upset. He had always worked with Aiden and was sure no one could take her spot. He decided to give the new CSI a hard time. The day the new CSI came was not a day with an ordinary Crime scene. They were at the Zoo investigating a crime with a man who was mauled by a tiger. Danny was taking pictures of the place when the new CSI walked in. "Detective Taylor." she said approaching Mac who was behind the bars of the Tiger cage. "Yeah." Mac said. "Lindsay Monroe." Lindsay said, "My new investigator from Bozeman." Mac said "Your office said you wanted me to come down as soon as I arrived?'' Lindsay said. "Glove up." Mac said, "Now?" Lindsay said, "Are you here to watch or work?" Mac said while mixing plaster to make a mold of the Tiger's paws. Lindsay's previous feeling of nausia from moving to New York was replaced with a similar feeling of making a bad impression. She bent down to take gloves out of her case and said "you want me to start processing?" her voice slightly cracked and shook but Mac couldn't hear that, although Lindsay felt like everyone could. Her stomach did a flip. "Danny's got that covered." Mac said. "That'd be me, Danny Messer. How you doin?" Danny said. "Hi." Lindsay said with a rather large simile, Danny looked her up and down real quick then turned away. She took a quick look at him and continued pulling her gloves on. "I'm gonna need you to hold the Tiger's jaws while I get the dental impression." Mac said. Danny saw this as an opportunity to play a joke on Lindsay. "Just take a deep breath, don't let him know that your afraid," Lindsay inhaled deeply looking worried, "cause he can sense when your nervous." Danny said. "Tiger's tranquilized, think I can handle it?" Lindsay said. "Talking about Mac, and make sure you call him Sir." Danny said. Danny turned away and Lindsay had a frightened look on her face. Then she nodded. While she was processing Lindsay called Mac sir and he said, "And don't call me sir." Lindsay looked over to Danny angrily. He tried to ignore the look and waved his hand in front of his face as to remove an awful smell. Later the three of them were investigating where the body fell from. "I've got blood trace." Mac said, "Nice.And I got the curie to getting us the list of all the people who have access to this zoo after hours, vets feeders, security. Not including the nut jobs who sneak in from the river though." Danny said. "You need to have the curator and his crew save anything the tiger passes and get it down to us." Mac said. "Passes?" Lindsay asked while gathering trace. "Passes. Sure you've never seen anything like that up in Montana." Danny said, slightly annoyed at Lindsay for being likable. "You ever seen what a full grown black bear can do to a man?" Lindsay said. Danny smiled facing away from Lindsay. Later when Lindsay and Danny were in the lab, Lindsay was looking for something frantically.She was sliding open doors and searching, "Can I help?" Danny said annoyed at the noise she was making. He tried to focus on any thing that might make Lindsay seem unlikable. It was becoming difficult for him so he focused on how annoying it was not to like her. It didn't make much sense but it was something he could focus on, which was good enough for him. "No, thank you, you helped enough already this morning." Lindsay said. Lindsay slid open another door and Danny said quietly "Oh ok." Lindsay finally found what she was looking for and walked to where she was working just as Danny turned around. They bumped into each other. "Alright, after you." Danny said annoyed that she bumped into him. While Danny was trying to be annoyed at Lindsay, Lindsay was actually annoyed with Danny. She was upset that things weren't going well and that Danny was making them harder. They began going over the evidence. Danny stole a glance at Lindsay, She could never fit in here, he thought to himself. He took another glace at the same time she did. It was slow but as soon as they realized that the other one was looking they looked down at their work quickly. He's really agrivating, she thought. She looks like she knows what she's doing but I doubt shes qualified, Danny thought trying to make up excuses for him to hate her. He stole another glance, why would Mac hire her then though?, he thought. He looked up again and stared at her a moment while screwing the top to a DNA sample on. He looked down, maybe I should give her a chance. While Danny was engrossed in thoughts Lindsay was absorbed into her work. She loved this job. Later, Lindsay was trying to find the murder weapon with Mac. Danny walked in, "So only the victim's DNA was on the tap around his wrists." Lindsay looked at him, I still find him annoying, she thought. "The shoes however are a different story.The flesh that Montana found," Woa! Wait a second, did he just call me Montana, She thought while looking at him with angry eyes, he is so gonna pay for that later. "wasn't human. And uh, the blood wasn't either." Danny said. "Actually came back, bovine, pig and lamb." Danny said. Lindsay looked back at Mac, "And I have the murder weapon. An exact replica of the fatal wound." Mac said. He turned to Lindsay, "see any pattern." Mac said. "Sawdust, animal flesh, meat hook. We might no know the vict's name but we know where he's from." While she said that Danny had a rare moment to look her over and did not waste it, kinda cute, wait! did I just think that, no shes not cute, he thought while trying to get rid of that thought. He was very unsuccessful. "The meat packing district." Mac said. The three of them made their way to the district and watched as the people worked. Lindsay watched one guy use a meat hook bring a pig somewhere. Danny looked around with Mac then saw some meat in sawdust. Lindsay saw someone cut off some meat and throw it on the ground. Danny then found a roll of tape, he looked at Mac. It could be a match, Danny thought. then the three of them went into the cooler. They looked around at the meat. "Its a lot of hamburger." Danny said, "Back home people keep this much meat in their basement." Lindsay said, amusing Danny who hid it well "We do what we can." Danny said. Then Mac found a stream of blood. He took a swab of it and put it in a test to see if it was human. It was. "Find something?" Lindsay asked. "Human blood." Mac said. "This could be our primary crime scene." Mac said. Then Danny found something on the meat. It looked thawed. "This hand print is thawed." Danny said. "Its zero degrees Fahrenheit in here. Everything's frozen solid." Lindsay said, she looked at Danny impressed, he might not be that bad, she thought. "What ever was on the hand that made this print caused the meat to defrost. We're gonna need a sample." Mac said. Lindsay reached for something in her pocket. "I'll do it" She said opening her knife with a flick. Danny looked surprised. Then he looked at Mac and said "Country girl." The words slipped out before he could catch them. Lindsay giggled. Maybe I'll give him a chance, she thought. Danny was having problems coping with the fact that he began growing a small crush on her. Back at the lab Danny was fumbling with a DNA sample, "DNA" He said. He looked up and saw Lindsay through the glass walls. He decided to pay her a visit. He pushed his way through a crowd of people and found Lindsay testing the meat. "So what caused the meat to defrost?" He asked her. Lindsay was sponging the meat. "Whoever handled this meat had salt on their hands." She turned. When her head was completely turned from Danny he caught himself smiling and stopped it as much as he could. Lindsay put the spounge under a microscope. A lab tech brought it into view on the computer. "Ok, based on the elemental analysis, there's an abundance of Hydrogen, Oxygen and Nitrogen.The electron back scanner crystallographer tells us everything we need to know." He said "Imodium Nitrate." Danny said "Explosives?" Lindsay asked. "No, this particular crystal structure is more common with, fertilizer" The tech said. "Our murderer has a green thumb." Danny said. Lindsay handed the info off to Mac. Mac found the criminal, investigated him and put him behind bars. That night when Lindsay got home, she was relived that she got through her first case. She went over everything in her mind then she was reminded of how Danny called her Montana. At first she was angry but then a smile passed her lips.

Chapter Two: Youngblood
The next day Lindsay was assigned to work with Danny again. "Oh great." she muttered under her breath. When she was going through the evidence Danny walked in, "Mac said I'd find you here, whatda ya got?" he asked. "Did you read the field report?" she asked, "Missing weapon, low projectile penetration, high residue quotient, missing second party, ipod, chopsticks, blood, did I miss any thing" he said, "The missing second party was wearing size six shoes, seven tops. So we're looking for a small woman." Lindsay said. "Or a young woman." Danny said. "And the report said there was a likely sexual connection. DOA was in his fifties. Do you want the elastic or the paper?" Lindsay asked, "I should probably handle the paper because their might be something on it." Danny said trying to amuse Lindsay, she did not appear amused. But as she walked away a smile did appear, I'll show him, she thought. She looked at the elastic under the microscope and pulled a hair from its red exterior. Danny unfolded the paper, and found the words, Audition after third period-Delmore Jason, written on it. Lindsay got the hair in a DNA sampler and sent it down to DNA while Danny was starting to look at the paper under a magnifying glass. She looked over at him and he looked up with his mouth open like an idiot. He looked down then looked up again quick realizing what he saw, she's done already?, he thought, "You're done?" he asked, again like an idiot, "Waiting on you." she said coming out triumphant. He looked like a deer in headlights. How stupid he felt, boy was I wrong, he thought to himself still dumbstruck. A slight almost undetectible smile on Lindsay's face, one meant for Danny to see, which he did, ha, but I'm still getting him back for that comment the other day. He looks so stupid, but kinda cute, hey hold on, I didn't just think that, did I?, She was now wrapped up in her thoughts and Danny in his work. Syd, the medical examiner called Danny and Lindsay down to Autopsy, "Mac told me to call you if I found anything in the Kinsey case." Then Syd showed them the impressions he found on the vict's brain. It was an imprint with some letters. Danny and Lindsay went back to the lab to view it. When they got it Danny said "Letter's and a date. These impressions on Kinsey's skull were definitely made by a violent impact." "A plaque? Maybe, the L shape looks like a corner." Lindsay asked. "The historical society keeps records of these commemorative plaques." Danny said. That led Danny and Lindsay to a building with a plaque that matched the vict. "History never made much of an impression on me." Lindsay said. Danny smiled, "Well lucky it made one on the victim." He responded."So we're only a couple blocks from the victim's apartment." Lindsay said, "Who's last name is Kinsey right?" Danny asked as he pointed to a sign. The sign had the vict's last name on it. They both walked to the sign, oh what do we have here, Danny thought as they made their way to the sign. They asked a guy who worked their a couple questions. This led them to a new suspect, a guy by the name of Oscar Bowers who the victim had a few issues with, "No one cares that piece of garbage is dead." Oscar said, "Thank you for sharing that with us, Mr. Bower's, but we have to investigate it just the same." Lindsay respond, woa, where did that come from? I didn't think she had it in her, the other day with the knife, if he thought he was in to her then, he just became twice as attracted to her at that moment. He didn't show it though. "You ever get into a physical altercation with Kinsey?" Danny asked. "C'mon, I could take him with one hand tied behind my back." Oscar replied "Someone says you did, two days ago." Danny said, "He provoked me,he threw a punch, I threw one back." Oscar said, "I was talking to a girl the other night, he gets all possessive on me, I run into him on the street we have some words." "That girl, would happen to be on the very young side would she?" Danny asked. "Huh, I didn't figure you for a player," Oscar said, What if he is?, Lindsay thought, some of her attraction towards Danny went away, "But now that I look atcha I could see how you would do about a girl like that." Oscar said. Danny grew mad but didn't show it, he didn't want to look like a jerk in front of Lindsay. As soon as he realized this he tried to bury those feelings but came out unsuccessful. "A girl like what?" Lindsay asked, "You know these young girls, they like to come out, play." Oscar said. Lindsay had a smile of aggravation and sarcasm on, so she change the subject back to Kinsey, "You were talking about Jason Kinsey." Lindsay said, "Yea he's a real piece of work, every day he pulls up to the lot, leans out of his car and waves." Oscar said, "So he waves at ya everyday, that's the reason you two end up throwing punches." Danny said. "Him and me bid on that lot. He buys it out from under me and decides to rub my nose in it," Oscar explained, "That's the reason you two start going on the street." Danny said, "Look, am I glad he's dead, sure now maybey I can get my hands on the lot, did I kill him, no." Oscar said. "And I'm sure you have an alibi for your whereabouts last night?" Lindsay asked, "You'd be right about that, I was in Naubica's" Oscar said. Lindsay looked up at Danny who looked right back at her. They went back to the lab and looked at a video from the security cam, "This girl hasn't been IDed as a resident of the building" Lindsay said, "She looks nervous, playing with her jewelry." Danny said. "Could be nerves, but it looks more like flirting, see how she holds her head, how she looks at him? He wants him to look at her." Lindsay said, Danny looked at Lindsay hoping she was doing the same but sadly she wasn't. They looked at her ipod and realized was learning songs for an audition. They tracked down the girl and took her in for interrogation. They asked her a couple questions before her father came in. She told them she was there when Kinsey was killed but freaked and left. Lindsay and Danny went back to the lab, on the way they talked about the evidence. "These are the results of the blood samples on Kinsey. Unidentifiable male, I also ran the hair from the elastic." Danny said. "Common aliyahs, right? Male family member?" Lindsay asked, "How'd you know that?" Danny asked rather impressed,"Something about the way her father looked at her," Lindsay replied. Danny and Lindsay decided to talk to a few waitresses at Naubica's, the restaurant where the victim spent most of his time. "So this is the infamous Naubica's?" Danny asked. "Bartender had to run a few errands. Can I help?" A waitress asked. "Ah, maybe, you here much?" Danny asked flashing his badge, "Tuesdays and Wednesdays." The waitress responded. "You know Melany Dabson?" Danny asked, "Yea, she got around." The waitress said. "Yea, did she keep her nose clean?" Danny asked, "When she wasn't being harassed. She let this guy buy her a few drinks and he spent some money, not really a high roller or anything but kinda freaked out on her the other night." The waitress said, "What did he look like?" Lindsay asked. "Just a guy." The waitress said, "Tall short fat?" Danny asked, "Yea, short and fat, like I'd remember." she said, "Do you know this guy?" Lindsay asked showing a picture of Kinsey, "He in trouble with his wife?" The waitress asked, "Naw he was actually killed last night." Danny said, "Oh, that's a real shame, yea I knew him, he's okay." Lindsay showed her a picture of Oscar, "He's dead too?" The waitress asked. Lindsay said nothing, "Was in here last night, with me, I went back to his place, I was with him all night, a wake. And let me tell you that he did not go anywhere." The waitress said. "Wait, this is in confidence right?" She asked. Lindsay and Danny said nothing. "His wife knows my mother." The waitress said. Danny and Lindsay went back to the lab, "Mr. Dabson tested negative for GSR." Danny said, I've got to do something that won't make me look like a jerk. I don't go out with young girls. I hope she doesn't think I do. Danny thought, "With his wife backing him up he looks clean." Lindsay said, "let's go back over this tape." "Whats with these old guys with these super young chicks? You know? What goes on in the family to make that seem okay? Like Melany and her father, no love loss there." Danny said hoping Lindsay would think he's ok again. She didn't respond, Oh thank God, he's not ok with that stuff!, she thought to herself. They both had a small crush on each other, but Lindsay did a much better job of hiding it. They looked at the tape. They found that the other gut they couldn't ID was carrying the murder weapon. They made the arrest. It was the guy who worked at Kinsey's shop in which they questioned earlier.

Chapter Three: Manhattan Manhunt
Danny and Lindsay had start to get to know each other. Both their crushes grew on the other person but they absolutely refused to let the other person know. Danny began wanting to go out with Lindsay but quickly buried those feelings. He still had a hard time coping with the fact that the girl who replaced Aiden was one he liked. Then one day during a case, Mac told Lindsay to go back to the lab. She was angry about this but obeyed. She was going over a fiber when Danny walked in. He was awfully happy and knocked on the door in a snappy fashion. "Whatda ya got Montana?" He asked. "Danny, stop calling me that, its Lindsay, Lindsay Monroe." She said, angry but not at Danny, just at the fact she didn't get to process, "Alright, alright, I'm just joking." Danny said trying to smooth things over "Well its not funny, am I supposed to be the new girl and the butt of all your jokes." She said. Danny realized it wasn't him she was angry at so he said,"You upset that Mac dismissed you?" "I can handle it." She protested, "Well it's not that, he was looking out for you, you saw that place, it was a slaughter house in there." Danny said reassuringly, "What you think I haven't seen blood like that before?" Lindsay asked, "Well I don't know to tell you the truth. Have you?" Danny asked, "Yes, and a lot worse than that." She said. "Take a look," she said changing the subject and showing him the fibers,"What do you think, the one on the left is a fiber from the gate and the one on the right was taken from one of the dead girl's uniforms." she said. Lindsay was less upset when Danny tried to reassure her, and was a little freaked out when she realized he knew her well enough to know if something was wrong. She ignored that and continued on with her work.

Chapter Four: Bad Beat
One day Lindsay was passing through the lab when she saw Hawkes, Danny and Adam watching a video. It looked like i should have been rated R. While the three were watching it they turned their heads sideways for obvious reasons.Lindsay walked in, "Footage from your thirtieth birthday party Messer?" she asked, "Walrus documentary, actually" he said. "It's Tara Stansfield, our victim from the park." Hawkes said. "Who's the other Walrus?" Lindsay asked. Then she also turned her head sideways.

Chapter Five: City of Dolls
Once again Danny and Lindsay were assigned to work together. This time Lindsay didn't mind as much. They were investigating the murder of a "doll doctor" who was found with the dolls. They looked over the evidence together, a lot less tense then they had been before. They went to question a suspect who owned a doll the vict had in his hand when he died. After the suspect left Lindsay said:"Maybe this isn't about the doll at all, maybe he just used it to defend himself." Danny shook his head, "Grip was way too tight, you ever been to a scene of a shooting where the victs hand was actually frozen in place." Danny said taking Lindsay's hand to explain his theory, "You can actually take the gun, slide it right into his palm, perfect fit,"Lindsay smiled,"That means he was struggling with his attacker for the gun. Same thing happened here." Danny finished. They shared a long stare at each other then Lindsay, realizing he had her hand in his, removed her's. "You hungry?" Danny asked hopeful. "Naw, I have to get back to the lab." She said trying not to like him anymore than she already did. "Yea, yea, yea me too. Me too." He said, a little upset. Later they were investigating they went to the suspect's apartment to question to find out more. On there way in Lindsay started taking off her shoes, Danny started laughing "What are ya doing, ya don't gotta do that." He said, "I was taught if you show someone a little respect you might get more than what you came for." Lindsay said. "You uh play good cop I'll play bad cop, I'll keep my shoes on." Danny said a little turned on, "Guess you didn't grow up with hard wood floors," Lindsay said, "No I didn't actually, Bronx marble." He said with a smile, "Whats that?" She asked, "It's linoleum" Danny said, she's so clueless, but cute, he thought. He knocked on the door and the suspect let them in "So we found a fingerprint on the murder weapon that killed Mr. Muculley, also we found traces of a substance called Rhodium. On that same finger print." Danny said, "What does that have to do with me?" the suspect asked. "We saw you loading jewelry into your car the other day, Ms. Drake, Rhodium is used to plate white gold." Lindsay said, "You obviously know something about jewelry plating." Danny said, "Actually it's about physics about art. One of my new classes. I'm teaching my students to take ordinary pieces of costume jewelry and turn them into extraordinary works of art." Ms. Drake said, "I think this ordinary fingerprint that we found on the murder weapon might belong to you." Danny said, "I'm sure it does." Ms. Drake responded,"When I dropped off Abbey's doll, Mr. Muculley was helping another customer, while I was waiting I was fidgeting with an arm of a broken doll that was sitting on the counter." She said, "I hope you don't imprison people based on such pedestrian evidence." Ms. Drake laughed. "How did you know it was the arm we were talking about? Detective Messer simply said that the print was found on the weapon that killed the victim." Lindsay snapped, Hey, I thought she was gonna play good cop, Danny said impressed and surprised with Lindsay, "Well, must be what you were referring to, it was the only thing on the counter when I was there." Ms. Drake said, "Where were you on the night of the murder, Ms. Drake?" Lindsay asked. "Are you suggesting that I'm a suspect in a death?" Ms. Drake said, woa!, Danny thought again, "You didn't answer my question." Lindsay said. "I was at a PTA dinner." Ms. Drake said, "You got a phone number of someone who can confirm that?" Danny asked still shocked at Lindsay, "Absolutely,"Ms. Drake said. Danny and Lindsay left. In the hall when Lindsay was putting her shoes back on she used Danny as a support beam, "Thought you were gonna play good cop?" He asked, "There's something about that woman." Lindsay said, "Yea I know, she had all the answers huh." Danny said. Then Lindsay found a doll eye. They brought it back to make and worked a little harder. They found out that the murderer was a teenager in Ms. Drake's class who she had been sleeping with. The murder was an accident. When Danny got home that night he started rambling to himself, "She said no to lunch." he went over it in his mind.

Chapter Six: Trapped
Danny had been trapped in a panic room with a dead body and Lindsay had become slightly concerned when she was told. She asked Mac if he was ok. Mac said he was fine. As soon as Lindsay realized that she felt that way she tried to bury her feelings like Danny. The tables were turned for a few short moments. Instead of Danny desperately trying to hide his feelings for Lindsay, Lindsay was the one trying to hide her feelings. She still did a better job than Danny at hiding her feelings.

Chapter Seven: Risk
Danny and Mac were processing a body when Lindsay came to the scene. Mac had told Danny he was at the Mayor's party. Lindsay showed up in a dark green blue dress. Danny looked up when she came, looked down then realized what he saw, stood and said "Well hello Ms. Monroe,wow, you clean up nice. You go to the Mayor's party also?" "I was at the opera." Lindsay said, "I am hanging out with all the wrong people, you know that?" Danny asked more to Mac than anyone. Mac just looked down. Danny stood there a moment staring at Lindsay, she looks wow um wow, he started to mutter in his own mind. He even compared her breasts to two ripe melons, which was a little racy for him but he was truly surprised. Of coarse he didn't say any of this out loud, he honestly couldn't take his eyes off Lindsay. Later he and Lindsay went to question someone who was with the vict. Danny knocked on the door, "K," a female voice came from inside, "Chill out" it said when Danny knocked again, the girl opened the door wearing only a shirt and under wear, "What time is......it" She said as she opened the door. Danny said nothing and neither did Lindsay, then Lindsay went hemphem to remind Danny they were working. She felt a little jealous which again she tried to bury. "We're looking for Perry Loman, Randy Williams' roommate?" Danny said flashing his badge, "What's happened?" the girl said, "That's what we're here to find out." Lindsay said, "May we come in," Danny said letting himself and Lindsay in. Then he made his way to where Perry Loman was sleeping, "Perry Loman, wake up, subway surfer, we need to talk, Your a lucky boy." Danny said. Lindsay caught herself smiling. "Can I use the bathroom? I'm a little hung over." Loman asked, "Make it quick." Danny said. "You can have a seat." Lindsay told the girl. "I love whatcha' did with the place." Danny said, Loman threw on a shirt and made his way to the bathroom. Then he ran. Lindsay ran after him, with Danny close behind. Lindsay tried to catch him but only managed to take his shirt off. Danny ran passed Lindsay after Loman. He caught Loman. When Loman was restrained Danny said, "Nice collar Monroe." It was something Lindsay would generally be mad at if anyone had said that to her, but when Danny said it she smiled. Danny smiled too.

Chapter Eight: Stuck On You
Lindsay was processing a body when Danny got to the scene. "Giddeon Epp, music promoter." Lindsay said aloud. Danny put down his case, "It's not as glamorous as I would have imagined. Where's the limo and the girls with the tight shirts." Lindsay said again, "Trust me, it's not like that at all." Danny said. "You know more about this than your average CSI." Lindsay said, "Yea, I played for a while, enough to get a taste of the world, and that was enough for me." Danny said, "The heck is this? Glue? Someone really wanted to stick it to Mr. M" Danny said. "He was dedicated at getting the word out." Lindsay said, "Now he's just dead. And I got blood here. He must of fought back." Danny said holding up a knife. "You know some of these posters are torn. You think this is some kind of turf war over posting rights?" Lindsay said. "Wouldn't be the first time." Danny said, "Looks like someone walked right over this guy. Stepped in the glue and left these foot prints. Looks like he headed to this club over here." Danny followed the glue prints. "Alright well uh, Bye! I'll just meet you back at the lab with the uh DOA." Lindsay said to Danny, though he wasn't listening. Later at the lab Mac said, "You guys on that music promoter?" "Like glue." Danny said. Mac laughed."He doesn't think that's funny," Lindsay said to Danny, "he's humoring you." She said with a smile. Danny laughed, "You don't know him like I do." He said with a smile bigger than Lindsay's. Later in the lab when they were looking over some evidence Danny looked at a guitar, "You wanna go see Rough Sects." Lindsay looked at him afraid to answer the question. Then she remembered that the band's name was Rough Sects and was relieved. After the case was wrapped up Lindsay found something that Danny may have been interested in. She gave him a call and he picked up, "Messer." He said, "Hey Danny it's Lindsay." He was surprised to hear her voice. She had never called him before. "Oh, hey Montana whats up?" he asked still a tad surprised. "I found something you might want to see,"She said, "Can you meat me at Cozy's at 7?" She asked, "Uh yea sure." he said more dumbstruck than the day she showed him up in the Kinsey case. She hung up. He stood there a minute pondering what to do next. He went home put on a clean shirt, got directions to Cozy's and went to meet her. On the way he was babbling to himself, "She asked me on a date? No way, I must of been imagining it. I thought, if anything, I would be the one to ask her on a date." he said. He found the place and parked his car. Lindsay was waiting for him inside. She was looking around, wondering where he was, it was 7:15. He finally popped through the door and she wave him over. Jazz music flooded his ears. "Sorry I'm late." that reason being he was so dumbstruck by the whole thing it took him a half hour to figure out what to do. "It's ok. I ordered you a beer." she said. "Thanks" he said. He didn't look at the musicians or the waiters he stared at her wondering what to do next. "So, uh, what's up?" he asked excitedly, "Just something I thought you might be interested in." She said, "Jazz music? That's me." He said sarcastically, still not taking his eyes off her. The band finished and Lindsay looked up and clapped. Danny clapped too but still didn't take his eyes off her. She smiled at him knowing he had no idea at all. He just smiled at her happy that she asked him out. Then a man spoke into the microphone, "Thanks very much, I'd like to thank Ms. Caron Williams, our special guest all the way from Chicago." Then Danny realized why Lindsay asked him to come there, it wasn't for a date, the man speaking was Mac. He turned around as Lindsay laughed under her breath. Mac was playing the base, "Get atta here." Danny said, "Are you kidding me," Lindsay laughed aloud, "Howja know he played?" Danny asked impressed, "Figured it out. I could tell by the way he held the base in the lab that he knew guitars, and I knew he had a standing appointment on Wednesdays, could've been a shrink or yoga, but I took the music option." Lindsay explained. "I'm impressed." Danny said, for the first time actually saying what he felt. "Maybe you didn't know him as well as you thought." Lindsay said. Danny looked concerned, because he felt that Lindsay was better than him, that he made a fool of himself thinking it was a date. But then he smiled, she's a good CSI, I'll give her that much, he thought. I bet he thought this was a date, I kinda feel bad but it's good, in a way, let him know I don't want a date with him, not yet, Lindsay thought.

Chapter Nine: Fare Game
For a few days Danny couldn't stop thinking of the almost date with Lindsay. They were working a case with a chef for a restaurant that serves bugs. When there done with the case Danny picked up some bug cuisine and bet Mac that Lindsay won't eat the stuff. "I got meal worm spaghetti," Stella, Hawkes and Flack made faces at the stuff, "Stink bug pate, cricket crochets, raised ant brushetta, Ti dragonflies. Who's going first?" he asked while rubbing his hands together. "You gotta be kidding." Stella said, "Pass" Flack said, "It's just protein." Lindsay said while picking up a bread crumbed tarantula. She took a bite and a few people looked grossed out. "Told you she'd do it." Mac said. Danny started to laugh, "Alright, alright, alright, here you go." Danny said handing Mac five dollars. "Ok, pizza in my office." Mac said as everybody but them left. "You bet Mac I wouldn't do it?" Lindsay said amused. "Yea what was I thinking, betting against a country girl?" Danny said sitting down. Lindsay laughed. "You know it's actually not that bad." Lindsay said. "Well try it with some grasshopper chutney." Danny said while Lindsay dipped the spider in, "Mmm, Mhm, mm" she said. Danny chuckled watching her, just amazed. "Wasp tamales?" he asked, "Don't mind if I do." she said. "Spaghetti meal worms the best." he said plopping one in his mouth. Lindsay giggled. That was the first time she ever did want to kiss him. She was well aware of these feelings, but she didn't bury those feelings either. They just sat there laughing for a while.

Chapter Ten: Cool Hunter
A few weeks later they were working different cases again. Lindsay had a problem with footprints. The height in the footprints weren't what they should of been. Lindsay wanted to confirm this, Ugh, I can't seem to figure what or who made these, I have the shoe but why are they deeper in the heel, she thought, I should do a reconstruction. Oh, and I know just who to get to help me. She thought with a smile. She found Danny walking out of ballistics, "Oh, hey Danny just the guy I wanted to see!" She said, well, well, well, he thought, "Yea Montana? What is it?" he asked, "Well I was having a problem with a piece of evidence on my case and I need to do some reconstruction. I was wondering if maybe you'll help me?" she asked, "I don't think I can. I'm swamped with paper work from my case." he said telling the truth, "Help me and I'll buy you drinks." she said hopeful, "Uh, yea alright, for drinks I'll help you." he said with a smile, well, well, well, she's gonna buy me drinks, he thought to himself rather cocky. He met her up on a rooftop a half hour later. "Put these on. Then your gonna pick me up and walk to the end of the garden." she said handing him a pair of shoes. "Ok, Why?" he asked, "I need you in Doctor Zimmer's shoes because the plaster cast I got from the suspect's footprints were about half an inch deeper in the heel than they were in the toe. Which is odd." she said. He picked her up. "I weigh about the same as thee victim, you way about the same as," she looked at him, "Doctor Zimmer, extra weight makes it exact." She said holing tightly to the back of Danny's neck, "Look, you promised me drinks for this, but I think I'm gonna need, some dinner too." he said, "I'm not gonna give you anything until you get going, make tracks cowboy." she said. He walked across the garden then put Lindsay down. Lindsay thanked him for his help then he left and she examined the foot prints he made. She stopped and thought for a moment, then smiled.

Chapter Eleven: Necrophilia America
About a week later Lindsay was in the lab watching bugs eat dead flesh off a corpse. Then Danny walked in and saw her. He smiled and went over to her, "What? You ran out of bug spray?" he asked, "Domestic tissue removal." she responded, "Museum vict, so what is this a spitting investigating or is this just a forensic peep show?" Danny asked. "Hammerback couldn't determine the cause of death so he needed to de-flesh the vict." Lindsay said, "You mean the bugs?" Danny said, "Yea they're better at tissue removal at this stage, they're cleaner, plus they don't destroy potential evidence. As soon as Hammerback's finished with you, I get to take the beetles back to the lab with me." she said, "Don't eat them." Danny said, "You're a little late on that one." Lindsay told Danny, "Still doesn't mean it's not funny." Danny said. Lindsay laughed a little and Danny felt a slightly satisfied.

Chapter Twelve: Live or Let Die
Lindsay was working a case where the vict initiated anonymous phone calls to men. Adam was still trying to figure out all of the DNA on the vict. Lindsay called him to find out what they had, "Adam," she said, she breathed out annoyed, he wasn't helping her much, "Adam! Ok, ok sorry I'll leave you alone." She hung up angrily and yelled. "Very attractive" Danny said. He was sitting at the computer, "The DNA sample from the sex skin of our vict, Lillian Stamwick, its a 'complex mixture of multiple donors'" Lindsay said mocking Adam. "Alright I suggest you just kick back and relax. It's gonna take Adam quite a while to isolate the profiles." Danny said. Lindsay looked up at him, I wonder if he..., she trailed off in her thoughts and decided to ask him instead, "Have you ever gotten an anonymous phone call from a woman?" she said dancing around the subject, Danny looked up and bobbed his head, "Sure, it's happened." he said, "Does it turn you on?" Lindsay asked, "Woa! Slow down there Montana, whatja have in mind?" Danny asked, Lindsay just smiled sarcastically and said, "Our vict was having relationships with over 20 men. All on the phone." "Sounds like an addiction." Danny said adjusting his glasses, "These guys were really hooked, she was just a voice, they knew nothing about her, not even what she looked like." Lindsay said raising her voice a little. "It's a fantasy, uncomplicated means of sexual arousal. You get a little something something, you don't have to pay for dinner." Danny said. There was a short pause while Lindsay thought, "How can anybody be satisfied with just that? I find it hard to believe that one of these guys isn't our killer slash rapist." Lindsay said, "Phone sex doesn't fit the profile of a rapist." Danny said. Lindsay leaned forward, "Because rape is about control not sex?" she asked, Danny leaned forward, "Right, and your vict was initiating the phone calls right? Ok, so she was in control, not these guys." Danny said, "So it's possible that Lilian Stamwick was raped by a total stranger." Lindsay said. "Possibly." Danny said.

Chapter Thirteen: Super Men
Danny and Lindsay got called another case a few weeks later. When they got to the scene they found the body. Lindsay began processing when Danny walked in. "The realm man." Danny said, "They called him super man." "With good reason, 45 colledge career touchdowns, over 3000 career rushing yards and the average 7.2 yards a carry." Lindsay said. "Don't tell me you know a little something about football." Danny said, "Oh is that so hard to believe?" Lindsay said. "No it's just dangerous," Danny said, Lindsay looked up, "I might ask you to marry me." he said. She smiled and they continued processing. Back at the lab, the medical examiner on call at the time showed them some writing on the vict's chest. Lindsay pieced it together in her mind, numbers and letters it looks like call m wait, "Call me" she said, Danny looked at her, be glad too, he thought to himself and amusing himself, "The last letter is an E. I found it smeared in lipstick on the hotel bed sheets. so I can take these numbers and combine them with the two I found on the sheets and possibly get to mystery woman number one." Lindsay said. She caught Danny smiling but didn't say anything.

Chapter Fourteen: Run Silent, Run Deep
Lindsay was trying to get some DNA from a cigarette butt from the last crime scene. She worked fast and steady. Doing that job was like making a cake, first get your ingredients, then combine them and last put it in the oven. It was a breeze for her but she loved every moment of it. She got the results and read them, No, that can't be right. There is no way. I better tell Danny, she thought. She paged him 911. Danny met her a few minutes later, "What is it Montana? You beeped me 911. You alright?" he asked, "Yea, the DNA sample from the cigarette butt, we found in the N zone, came back to an internal control sample." she told him, "What do you mean, the smoker works here in the lab? How can that be?" he asked surprised. She handed him the results. He looked them over. The internal control sample was a match to Danny. "Have you told anybody else about this?" Danny asked, "No, just you." Lindsay said. Danny inhaled deeply. He turned and walked away to Mac's office. The rest of the team were watching outside Mac's door when Danny got dismissed until the case was clear, "The duty captain will re-leave you, you'll be assigned to a desk, no gun no shield. At some point he's gonna want to talk to us both. You'll be assigned to the rubber gun squad, you sit at your desk keep your mouth shut, until the evidence cooperates your story." Mac said, Danny looked out the window. The team was looking back at him. Lindsay felt incredibly guilty for finding those results. Mac did a little more investigating and found that the reason Danny's DNA was on the cigarette was because his brother, who had been at the murder, took the cigarette from Danny. Danny was happy to find out that he was back on the team and so was Lindsay.

Chapter Fifteen: All Access
Danny was not the only person Lindsay had gotten close to on the team. She became very good friends with Stella Bonesera, second in command on the team. One day Stella was found unconscious in her apartment with her boyfriend lying a few feet away dead and covered in blood. They came to the conclusion Stella had been attacked and possibly raped. When Lindsay found out she was talking to Danny. She became incredibly worried and nervous. "Mac's with Stella right now." Danny said, he was also close to Stella but not to the extent Lindsay was. Lindsay exhaled, "I just, I just can't believe it. How does something like that happen? I mean I know how it happens but" she trailed off. Danny looked at her wanting so badly to console her but not knowing what to say or do to console her, "Should we go visit her?" Lindsay asked, "No, Mac said he'd let us know, he want's us to stick to the limo case, right now. Business as usual." Danny said. Lindsay huffed a little like she was going to cry, "You all right?" Danny asked. "Yea, I'll be fine." Lindsay said, her voice cracking a little. She turned away from Danny and they started walking down the hall talking about the case, Lindsay's voice still cracking, She's not ok, just listen to her, he thought. After a few minutes her voice cleared up when she started thinking about work. Later they found a suspect. They took him into interrogation. "Ten o'clock to eleven o'clock last night. your whereabouts. Those two concepts in one answer. Please Mr. Mathers." Danny said frustratingly. The suspect wasn't cooperating and was being a complete idiot. Lindsay usually enjoyed Danny getting all rilied up and sometimes even encouraged him. She was thinking about Stell, What happens to Stella now? What if she was raped? How is she gonna trust anybody ever again. What happened? Why is her boyfriend dead? Did she kill him? Why if she did?, these questions raced through her mind as she was only half paying attention to what was happening in the room. "Like I said I was at the show." Mr. Mathers said. Lindsay was well aware of the idiocy from the suspect. "No one saw you though, we check your story," Danny said, he looked over at Lindsay who shifted her head a little, "you didn't have a pass. Yet you ended up backstage after the show." Danny said. Lindsay thought it was her turn to say something, "Which is when we saw you talking to Kid Rock. He didn't look to happy to see you." Lindsay said. "He's go a lot on his mind after a show." Mr. Mathers said, "Me and Kid, we're friends man, we're all about the music. And his music, is special." Mr. Mathers said. "You were fired, Blake, for taking people in the limo back to the hotel. Trading in on your relationship." Lindsay said. Danny was looking down at her "That piss you off, huh" Danny said, "Coarse. I didn't do anything wrong and they fired me." Blake said, "So what were you doing at the show, Blake?" Lindsay asked condescendingly, "Wanted my job back. I was going to talk to Kid." Blake said, "Yea but you ended up in the back alley right? Talking to Russo? What? You think it was his fault you go fired?" Danny said, "I was never in that alley." Blake said. "Hair, on the kinkapoodle or what is it?" Danny said looking at Lindsay. Lindsay looked kinda out of it, "Got on you. And it transferred to Russo. Right, you know what transferred means Blake. He was no where near the animal, it was another car, the one that you drove. It transferred, from you to him." Danny said. Lindsay began to tense up. "I didn't do anything." Blake said. Lindsay went off like dynamite, "Come on, enough of the dumb ass OK Blake?" Lindsay yelled, Danny was in shock, "The clothes you were wearing last night are being tested for gunshot residue. You were at the scene." Lindsay yelled. Lindsay walked out while saying. "Your wasting our time." Danny was sitting on the table, oh boy, I'm gonna have to go after her, he thought, "Blake, sit tight for a while, reconsider your answer." Danny said getting up to go after Lindsay. He rushed after her. "Montana! Hey, piece out! Hey!" he said finally getting close enough to grab her hand and turn around, "hey common this guy's about to fold. Hey hey hey hey! Piece out, piece out!" Danny said, Lindsay shook her hand away. She looked angry. Not angry at Danny but angry at everything, "You know what Danny, maybe you should just handle this case by yourself. Okay?" She said. Danny realized why she was so angry, "Mac's handling Stella's situation. Alright? If he needs us he'll let us know. But until then," Danny said finally figuring out how to console her, "I just wish there was something we could do to help." Lindsay said sounding like she was gonna cry again. "You know what Stella would say? What we could do to help the most right now is to close this Russo case. Alright?" Danny said. Lindsay nodded. She was glad Danny had enough patients to talk her down. They went back to work.

So far what do you guys think? Please give me feed back!

Okay so I just wrote this like 5 minutes ago lol I just had the weird urge to write :) it took me like 20 minutes hehe. Let me know what you think!! I would love your guys opinions!
Story line: Mac getting the BIGEST info of his life! Some Smacked goin on in there..no crime for some reason lol didn't feel like adding one :p
P.s. Bold typing is written in first person (what Mac is thinking), and writing in parenthesise is actions; walking to Stella's etc.
ENJOY! :D Peace out and God bless!! NewYorkLove010/Sami! <3

Wow. The words utter and total disbelief don’t even begin to describe my feelings right now. I have so many question for myself. Many I could probably answer quite easily. One being.. WHAT THE HELL WHERE YOU THINKING!!?? I can’t answer that one quite so easily. Or at all for that matter. I just preformed an illegal act. For someone I don’t even know. I’ve never met her. I don’t know her favorite color or if she has a boyfriend. Oh god! Boys! If I’m going to be apart of her life I’m going to have to deal with boys! Why on earth would I run that stupid DNA!? I can’t help but think it could have been a good idea. It could turn or really great…. Or REALLY bad! Ugh! I’m driving myself crazy. And.. oh my god I just said that out loud. Crap. “Hi.” I say with a smile, while passing someone, who clear thinks I’m insane, on the street. I can’t say I blame her. I think I’m crazy too at this point! Walk faster Taylor! You have to get your bony ass to Stella’s now! The only sanity I get all week is from Stella. She will be able to make sense of all this. Level headed Stell. I definitely wouldn’t be able to do my job if it wasn’t for her. My best friend! Stella Bonesara. Wow. I’m happy again! Not thinking about… now I’m thinking about it… and now I’m angry and sad again. Oh my god brain! Turn the hell off!!

(Mac walks faster on his way to Stella’s apartment)

*Knock, knock* (door opens)
“I got it back.” Mac said before Stell could say anything
“And…” Stella asked wide eyed
“There’s a result… and familial match…”
“How many?” Stella asked in reference to the amount of epithelia’s match to the DNA
“…nine…” Mac replied sheepishly
Stella gave him a blank stair…then threw her arms around him in a big hug and kissed his cheek. The two walked into the apartment. They talked for a while, Stella asking many questions and Mac explaining as best he could.
“You have a kid.” Stella said astonished
“Mhm, a daughter. She’s fifteen.” Mac replied still in disbelief himself
“Whose…the. .mom?” Stella asked kind of awkwardly
“Nichole Jensen.” he replied dipping the spoon in and out of his tea over and over
“The last name on the paper says Walker though.”
“Mhm. Nichole married about a year after having Delilah.” Mac replied still messing with his tea
“Delilah. Cute name!” Stella said smiling, trying to lighten the mood
“Yeah. I’ve always liked the name..” Mac said finally looking up at Stella with blood shot eyes
“So are you going to talk to Nichole? Straighten this out?”
“I can’t. Nicky died twelve years ago. Car accident. The scary part: Delilah was in the backseat,” Mac explained. Stella looked up at Mac nearly in tears. “Is… she…” Stella tried to say, unable to squeeze the words out of her mouth.
“Delilah? No! Thank god. She was unharmed.” Mac replied
“Oh! Good! Well I know my opinion is nothing,” Stella began to say
“Stella your opinion is all I care about. It’s why I’m here!” Mac said cutting her off
“Thanks. Well I think you should find her. Poor girl lost her mom, she needs someone!”
Both looked at each other for a minute….

Mac woke up. Tangled in blankets. Intertwined with.. Stella.
He turned to face her. Swiftly swept a beautiful brunet curl out of her face and kissed her forehead. The level headed best friend had now became the level headed girlfriend.
He liked the way that sounded. He liked the way she felt comfortably laced in his arms. The way they fit together perfectly like puzzle pieces glued together since the beginning of time.
Making coffee and putting boxers on, Mac couldn’t stop smiling. For once since Peyton and Clair, did Mac truly feel happy with who was in the other room. The pitter patter of feet from the other room made him smile ever more. Stella scrambled out of the bed.
*CRASH*
Mac ran into the room to find Stella laying on the floor tangled in blankets from head to toe, laughing hysterically. He walked over and helped her to her feet, which were ever so twisted in white cotton. Laughing Stella looked up at Mac and said, “Wow! Smooth! Your regretting last night now aren’t you!?” Mac smiled and wrapped his arm around her waist, or what he thought was her waist; the clumsy CSI had somehow found away to completely cover herself in the sheets. He kissed her forehead again and whispered, “Never”.

This is it. You can’t wimp out now Taylor! You’re here. You called. You have to!
Pull your hand up to the bell…there you go! Ring it. HEY! NO WIMPING OUT ON ME!! Ring the damn bell finger! ….damn I’m loosing it! I’m having arguments with myself.. in my head! I need help man!

(Mac rang the bell and a man opened the door)

“Detective Taylor. It’s nice to finally meet you!” The man said shaking Mac’s hand
“Yes. And please call me Mac.” He said walking into the apartment/loft
“Okay Mac.. Would you like tea, or coffee or something?” the man asked heading to the kitchen
“Water would be great,” Mac replied checking the place out, “So… is..”
“No Delilah isn’t here. She has tutoring after school on Fridays.” the man said cutting Mac off
“Tutoring?” Mac asked with a little hit of worry in his voice
“Giving not getting! She’s quite the smarty pants. AP chem.…. I guess we know why now.”
The two sat in the living room awkwardly for a minute or two before Mac said, “Look Mr. Walker,”
“Please, if I can call you Mac then you need to call me Neal!” Neal Walker said cutting Mac off
“Okay, Neal. I want you to know I respect your standing as Delilah’s father.” Mac continued
“Good. Because to tell you the truth I was very worried about this very moment. She may not be apart of me but I would give all of me for her.” Neal replied
“And I respect that. I don’t want to replace you. I just couldn’t live with myself if I let myself go about my life knowing I have a kid and not do anything about it.” Mac said caringly
“My wife told me years ago who.. You… were, and she seemed to know this would happen. I have to give you this. Before you make any decisions,” Neal said getting up to get a note out of his desk drawer, “It’s from Nicky. She gave it to me to give to you, if anything happened to her.” Neal handed Mac the envelope.
“Delilah will be home soon..” Neal said showing Mac the door
“Right yes. Thank you.” Mac replied waling to the door
“Oh and Mac. I trust you to make the right decision. What’s best for Delilah.” Neal said stopping Mac in the open door.
Mac nodded and walked out.
Sitting on a park bench in Central Park, Mac opened the letter and read to himself:

Mac,
This is probably the biggest surprise of your life! I know it was for me! My little girl, Delilah, is so much like you! Even at her young age of three! She loves to figure things out and has the brain AND heart the size of Asia! It’s why I fell in love with her father. She’s a good kid. Much older now I would presume. Oh my! What I would give to see the two of you together! I’m sure she would love to pick your brain about everything you know!
I love my husband Mac, I really do. Neal and Lila get along. He is her father now. BUT, since you are reading this you know who her REAL father is. I want you to be apart of her life. She deserves that much. I know you’ll make a great father. And a wonderful influence in her life. It’s hard dealing with her stubborn nature at times (good Lord that child will be a handful as a teen!) but she means well, it’s a little thing we like to call her “Mac”
Take care of my baby!
Love,
Nicky

Mac could feel himself begin to cry. He pulled out his phone and read the text that Stella had sent him last night, “Any girl would be LUCKY to have you in their life! I know I count my blessings every day Mac! Love Stell” his tears fell on the touch screen of his iPhone while he typed the reply, “She better start counting her blessings then. I can’t not be apart of her life Stell. Delilah and I need to meet. -Mac”
He folded the note and put it back in the envelope.
His phone started ringing. “Stella” popped up as the caller ID
Mac hit “answer” and before he could say a word Stella said, “Good” then hung up.
Mac smiled and headed out of the park.
