**Chap36**- Relationships....
It was 7:30pm and Lindsay had long gone to bed. Adam and Hawkes had just left as they had to be at work earlier than the others the next day. Danny’s parents had already left and Louie was getting ready to leave.
‘Cya later Lou!’ Flack called across the room as Lucy started to drag a tipsy husband towards the door.
‘Thanks Danny,’ Lucy said as she hugged her brother in law, ‘we’ll call you next week so we can get together for dinner.’
‘Sure Luc, make sure you don’t let him drive!’
‘Don’t worry Danno, come on you!’ She grabbed Louie and pulled him out of the door. Leaving Danny laughing as he bolted the door.
He saw Kate heading to the kitchen and went to help, ‘Hey Kate, need any help?’
‘It’s ok Danny but you can if you want,’ she said as he pulled a bear out her hands. ‘So you and Mac have been going out for over a year now! Any plans to you know, go a bit further?’
Kate blushed, ‘No Danny we are happy how we are, at the moment. We’ve got a good routine at the moment in our apartment- lives good!’
‘Kate we all know how much Mac cares about you. You don’t know how much he’s changed in the past year,’ Danny said leaning against the counter.
Kate laughed, ‘Come on Danny they want drinks in there!’
‘Yeh yeh…but I’ll be interrogating Mac later!’
Kate sighed, ‘Whatever!’
When they walked back into the sitting room, both were laughing.
‘What’s up with you two?’ Mac asked as Kate handed him a new beer, kissed him on the check and sat back down next to him.
‘Just Messer being Messer,’ Flack laughed at Kate’s answer.
Danny passed Flack and Stella their drinks and sat back down letting out a sigh and closed his eyes, ‘Oi you wake up!’ Stella said.
‘Shh,’ Danny opened his eyes and took a sip of beer, ‘it’s been a long day and year!'Danny took another sip, 'Guys, thanks for going this morning, it means a lot.’
‘Danny, don’t be stupid, Lindsay was our friend too you know?’ Stella said.
‘Yeah I know Stel but still.’
For the next five minutes everyone sat drinking and thinking in silence, ‘I wish I had known her.’
Danny looked up to see Kate thinking as she sat close to Mac and smiled. Even though he had known her a while Danny had never heard her mention Lindsay, ‘she would have liked you and you’d have liked her.’
‘From what Mac’s told me, I know I would have,’ Kate smiled at Danny.
The conversation soon turned to their usually ones about their latest cases which Kate had began to join in with after many months of not understanding the scientific terms. After a few more beers they soon lost track of the time.
‘So Stel do you reckon Johnson will be back anytime soon,’ When he didn’t get an answer Danny looked around to see Stella asleep, curled up and snuggling into Flack's warmth.
‘We aren’t that boring are we?’ Danny asked. Mac laughed as he looked at his watch.
‘Oops, it’s just gone half eleven, Stel got called out this morning just after four! No wonder she’s asleep!’
‘Maybe we should all get going,’ Flack said as Mac, Kate and Danny stood up to start clearing away the empty bottles. ‘Come on Stel, time to way up and get going.’
Stella moaned and tried to get closer to flack as he tried to get away from her grasp, luckily for them only Danny was paying attention, ‘mmmm, come on Flack five more minutes, you wore me out! Lets stay in bed!’
Danny laughed, ‘Oi Stel!’ Danny said throwing a ball of paper at her, ‘wake up Flack’s going to take ‘ya home.’
Stella grunted and opened her eyes. Realising where she was she quickly moved remembering what she had just said but noticed that neither Mac nor Kate noticed so she also stood up and began clear up.
‘Nice move Stel, I’m sure you’ll be able to keep it a secret if you do that again!’
This time Danny earned himself a punch in the arm, ‘Watch it Danny!’ Flack could only laugh as he saw the fear in his friends eyes.
