Danny and Lindsay from CSI NY, enjoy! Comments are appreciated, thanks.

Chapter 1

-----------5:30pm-------

It had been a very long and hard day for all the CSI's, especially for one of them. Mac, Stella and Danny were all sitting in the break room drinking their evening coffey when Lindsay came rushing in the room with the word "ATTITUDE" written all over here, and everyone knew it.

She walked over to the counter and started to pour herself a cup of coffey when she couldn't find the suger. So she opened the cabnet right below the coffey pot and looked in it. She didn't find what she was looking for, so she slammed the door back with all her might knocking over her cup spilling coffey everywhere, including all over her hands.

She shreiked with pain as she screamed, "Crap!"
Mac sat down his cup as he looked over at her and said, "Linds, you okay?"
Lindsay whipped her head around as she was wiping her hands off on her jeans, then she looked at Mac and said in a raised tone, "No, I'm not!"
She stormed back out of the room in almost a run, then Mac, Danny and Stella all just looked at each other. Stella stood up and walked over to the counter and she started to clean up Lindsay's mess as Mac looked at Danny and said, "What's her problem? Stell, you're a woman."

Stella giggled as she said, "Last time I looked in the mirror I was Mac."
Danny now laughed as well, then Mac said, "Hahaha, very funny, you know what I meant. What do you think is wrong with her, she's been acting strange practically all day."

Stella walked back over to the guys as she said, "I don't know Mac, maybe it's the girl thing, or maybe she's just having a bad day, we all have those sometimes, even you."
Danny stood up as he said with a smile on his face from what Stella had said about Mac, "I'll go talk to her, see what's up."

Mac nodded as Danny left the room, then Stella just histerically started laughing at MAc, and he just stared so of course that broke the laugh back into silence.
But anyway, Danny headed down the hall of the lab, and saw Lindsay just standing at the end of it staring out of a window as the sun had almost completely set.

HE walked up beside her as he said, "So...... You okay?"
Lindsay turned and glared at Danny as she said, "I already answered that stupid question Danny."
She turned around and started to storm off again, but Danny followed as he said grabbing hold of her wrist, "Montana, wait a second! What's going on?"

She turned back around toward Danny but didn't make eye contact with him, she pretty much stared down at his shoes, but then he put his hand on her shoulder as he said, "Montana look at me."

She slowly raised her veiw to Danny's eyes but still didn't say anything. He could tell she had been crying about something, he just didn't know what. So he took her by the hand again and led her back toward the door she was standing at a minute ago. He opened it up with his free hand and made her walk outside with him.

After they made it to a bench he made her sit down as he kept her looking at him, then he softly said, "Why have you been crying Linds, what's wrong?"
She didn't say anything still, so he looked at her with jis intense look as he said, "I can't help you unless you talk to me, and I want to, so talk to me."

A tear started rolling down Lindsay cheek, so Danny knew at that point she was really upset about something, he just still was wondering what. SO before he had the chance to say anything else, Lindsay started gushing huge tears as she leaned slowly into Danny's arms resting her head on his chest. He embraced her with his grip gently, hoping she'd just talk to him, but at that moment all he knew was that she obvisouly just wanted a shoulder to cry on, or mostly just a friend to be there for her. SO that's what he did for her, he just sat there with her leaned up agaist his chest waiting.

About five minutes past when she finally leaned back up off of Danny. She then just looked at him, then he smiled as he reached up and wiped away the tears from both of her eyes as he said, "Now, can we please talk?"
Lindsay nodded as she now took hold of his right hand, and then she said in a very low voice with bubbles still in her throat from all the crying, "I'm sorry Danny, I know you have better things to do."

Danny smiled even bigger as he shook his head to the side as he said, "No Montana, I don't. The best thing I can do right now is exactly what I'm doing, sitting here with a smile on my face, and being here with a friend."

Lindsay finally grinned for the first time to Danny, then she finally said, "I don't know what to do anymore, and I'm scared Danny, I'm really scared."
"Scared about what Linds, what's wrong?"

She started shaking her head to the side now, and just as she was about to open her mouth to answer him the door opened and Mac was standing at it. Danny at once let go of Lindsay's hand and turned and faced Mac, then MAc said, " I'm sorry if I made you angry Lindsay, but we got another call, so we need to go ahead and leave. Danny, why don't you and Lindsay come together in a minute, and you can catch up to me, but I have to go, ok?"

Danny nodded and so did Lindsay. So Mac dissapeared back into the building and Lindsay stood up amediently. Danny doing the same he asked, "Montana?"
"Not now Danny, later okay, we need to go, I'll meet you at the scene, goodbye."

Danny now watched as Lindsay dissapeared as well. Him just standing there as the sun was just about out of sight, he turned to face the little that remained as he just stared at it, then he said to himself, "I sure hope it's just a girl thing, nothing really major, she seemed really upset though, I don't know what I should do. Maybe I sould ask Flack.............Nah, he'd just make it worse, I must be loosing it."

Hehe, yea sorry about the coffee thing, it was late last night when all these thoughts just popped in my head. Thanks to everyone whose read it so far, please keep reading.

Chapter 2

---------6:30pm---------

So anyway, Danny got in his car and drove down town to where the crime scene was. It was now 6:30pm, and Mac, Flack and Lindsay were all already there. Danny pulled into the parking space and slowly got out of his car. He was taking his time on the count he didn't want to upset Montana again, but he found to do that he had to upset someone else instead.

"Danny, get over here, what took you so long?"
"Sorry Mac.. I um, well, traffic...."
Danny's head lowered, then Mac motioned for him to get over there, so he did. When Danny walked up beside Flack and Lindsay, she was looking down at the DB, and then Flack nudged Danny's arm as he whispered, "What's up with Linds, she's been acting very strange tonight."

Danny raised one eye brow to Flack as he said, "I don't know what's wrong with her, she's female."
Any other time that comment would have been fine, but since Lindsay was on the edge about something, she sort of took it personal, very personal.

She took her rubber glove off and used it as a sling shot to hit Danny right in the back of his head. He wimpered in pain, then Flack started laughing. Mac turned around and faced all three of them, then he said, "Lindsay! Danny! Flack, what are you guys doing, this is a crime scene."

Flack still was giggling as he said, "We know."
Mac glared at Flack as he said, "That was a nice warning to tell you if it keeps up there might end up being another one. So Lindsay, why don't you and Flack go talk to the suspects over there by the milk truck, and Danny you stay with me. Now go."

Linds and Flack did as they were told, and Danny just stod there looking at Mac. Then he said, "Mac, I didn't do anything, it was Mon- I mean Lindsay."
Danny just remembered as he was starting to say Montana he didn't really like calling her that in front of anyone else, so he stopped himself.

"I know Danny, just ignore her, this mood should pass."
Mac looked over at Lindsay as she shoved Flack to the side, then he finished with, "I hope."
So anyway, Mac and Danny studied the DB for about a half an hour, then they called for them to come and pick up the body and get it back to the lab.

Flack and Lindsay pretty much finished up around the same time. So after all the evidence was collected, Flack got in his new SUV and took off. Mac watched as he sped down the side roads. HE started shaking his head as he said to Danny and Lindsay, "Well you two, I have to get this stuff back to the lab. Why don't you guys just take the rest of the night off, you've both been working pretty hard today."

They bth nodded as Danny said, "Thanks Mac."
"Sure. I'll see you guys in the morning, have a good evening."

So Mac now drove off leaving the other two behind. They watched until his car was out of complete sight, then Lindsay looked at Danny as she said, "I'm sorry Danny."
He looked over at her as he said with a confused look on his face, "For what?"

Lindsay dropped her head for a moment as she said, "For using you as a slingshot target a few minutes ago. I know it hurt, rubber does."

Danny smiled as he said, "Oh that, don't worry, just next time aim a little bit higher and take out Flack."
Lindsay laughed for the first time all evening, so so did Danny. After they were done Danny looked her in the eyes as he said, "Do you want to come over to my place and have some really good coffee Montana?"

She smiled and started to blush a bit. She couldn't help but to start and giggle. So Danny grinned as he said, "What? Do I have something on my face?"
"No." she said. "But you have to let me make it, I've tasted your coffee before Dan, and it smells kind of like the smell of a Molding Dead body, I'm sorry."

Danny started laughing as he said, "Hey, I'm going to get you for that."
Lindsay started running toward her car and Danny ran after her. So they both got in their vehicals, and drove down to Danny's appartment. It was about 7:45 when they arrived, and they were both exausted.

Thanks! :)

Chapter 3

------------7:50pm----------

Danny and Lindsay walked into Danny's appartment a few minutes shy of eight o clock. Lindsay walked over to the couch and sat down. Danny closed and locked the door, then he headed toward the kitchen as he said back to Lindsay, "Hey, you said you wanted to make the coffee didn't you?" He smiled as he turned around and looked at her sitting on his couch.

She had her eyes closed and her hand on her head, Danny then started to get worried again, so he forgot about the coffee for a minute and walked over and sat down next to Lindsay. He moved her hand as he made her open her eyes as he said, "Lindsay, are you....."
Just as he was about to ask her again if she was alright she stopped him.

She looked him right in the eye as she said, "Danny, I don't want anyone else to find out, so if I tell you this you have to promise me you wont tell anyone else, especially Mac, promise?"

Danny nodded at once then Lindsay said, "No Danny, say it."
Danny's eyes widened as he said softly, "I promise."
She then nodded slightly as she said, "Okay then."
She turned around to where her back was now facing Danny, then she slowly raised up the back of her shirt about half way up to her shoulders and stopped as Danny gasped.

"Montana, what happened?"
He leaned closer to the apple size bruise right in the middle of Lindsay back. As he pushed her shirt up a little bit further Lindsay tried to turn her head arund to where she could see Danny. She almost was there when she said, "Danny, it's really not that bad, it looks worse then it really is."

He let go of her shirt and as soon as he did his fingers slid across the bruise and Lindsay yelped in the pain.
Danny made her face him again as he said, "Who did this to you? Tell me!"
Lindsay started shaking her head as she said, "That's why I didn't tell you this morning Danny, cause I knew you'd make a huge deal out of it."

Danny grabbed hold of both of Lindsays arms as he said in his most serious voice yet, "Lindsay, WHAT happened???"
She closed her eyes again as she said, "Someone broke through my window this morning, and he had a.... A really big rock."

Danny just stayed staring at her, completely dumbfounded at what he was hearing. He stood up and grabbed Lindsay by the hand as he said, "We have to get you to the hospital to make sure there's no major damage to your back, and then we have t call Mac and we have to go check out yur appartment, but in the mean time you're not going back there."

Lindsay wouldn't move when Danny tried to start walking. So he turned back around and faced her as she said, "No Danny, I've already been to the doctor, that's why I was late this morning, and I don't want MAc involved, please......"

Danny blinked his eyes slowly as he said, "Lindsay."
"No Danny, you promised, the doctor said I was going to be fine, I told him I fell on a big rock, that's all."

Danny looked toward the door, then back at Lindsay. A tear started rolling down her face, and at that time he knew he had been defesated. So he took her into a a gentle hug carefully on the count he didn't want to hurt her back anymore then what it already was.

So as they were standing in the middle of the living room, Lindsay still pressed up against Danny's chest she sniffled as she said, "I don't want to have to go face my appartment alone though."

Danny took about three seconds, then he said, "And you won't. You'll stay here tonight, and then we'll take care of everything else tomorrow, in the mean time though I'm going to go ge some ice, then you need to get in bed. You'll stay in my room, I just changed the sheets this morning."

"But Danny, where will you sleep? I don't want to kic you out of your own house."

"Don't be silly Montana, I have a beautiful blue sleeping bag in my closet. I'll set it up on the floor on the other side of my bed in case you need me."
Lindsay smiled as she said, "Danny."
"Yea?"

She turned her head away blushing again as she said, "Thanks, I know I can always count on you."
Danny smiled as he leaned over to her and kissed her on the cheek. Then he went in the kitchen and grabbed an ice pak and led Lindsay to his bedroom.

When they got in there Danny took a sleeping shirt and a pair of old sweat pants out of his drawer and handed them to Lindsay. She smiled again and then went and changed.
When she came back Danny had also changed, he had no shirt on yet, but he had changed. It sort of caught her off guard so when she saw him she said, "Oh sorry, I didn't mean...."

Danny laughed and then said, "You can't tell me you've never seen a man shirtless before Montana."
She giggled and then turned back to Danny. He had a nice six pack forming, she could tell he must be working out.
But anyway, he pulled his shirt on, and then Lindsay climbed in bed and Danny set her up and strapped the ice pack to her back over her shirt.

After he did that he smiled and said, "Now I'm right there if you need anything, just yell at me ok?"
She smiled, then she leant up and hugged him one more time as she said, "Thanks Danny."
he also smiled once more and said, "No prob, but Linds. Please, if something like this happens again, don't wait, cause it could end up being too late."

She nodded, then Danny climbed off the bed and into the floor. He pulled the sleeping bag up covering half of his chest and then he hit the light switch.
Lindsay looked down at him as she said one more thing., "Good night Danny."

"Night Montana." he said with a huge grin on his face. He then closed his eyes as did Lindsay. And then about three hours later Lindsay woke, to a very unpleasent dream..... And it scared Danny just as much as it did her.

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

TBC :cool:
 
awwww very cute :) She better tell Mac so they can kick the guy's butt...and at least Danny can make her feel better after the dream.
 
Thanks guys, I feel really good about this fic!:)

Chapter 4

-------1:06am-----

Lindsay started tossing and turning in her sleep as she started seeing all these unpleasent images in her head.
One was of Mac being stabbed in his heart, and the other was of Danny and herself witnessing it.

She kept wimpering in her sleep trying to wake up from the horror dream, but she just couldn't. The dream kept replaying it's self over and over again. Finally at abour ten after one Danny fell out of his sound sleep from hearing Lindsay. So he stayed laying down for a minute as he was trying to wake up as he said in a very groggy tone, "Lindsay, you ok?"

He heard no responce, so in about five seconds he jumped up and saw Lindsay just laying there with a horror look on here face, even though she was asleep. So he he gave a gentle shove to her right arm as he said, "Montana wake up, wake up."

After about the fifth time of calling her name she finally snapped out of it. She shot up into sitting position at once practically knocking Danny over. She was sweating bullets, then Danny said, "Hey, calm down, it's just me."

At that time Lindsay just started bursting into tears. She didn't know what was going on inside her head, or anywhere else for that matter. And Danny felt the same way. He didn't know what to say, so he just sat down next to her and waited. About one more minute past, then Lindsay looked at Danny and said, "I think I've changed my mind Danny, I need Mac, please."

Danny grabbed his cell phone directly and dialed Mac's number. HE wasn't caring it was almost 1:30 in the morning, he just wanted to find a way to help Montana, so the phone rang three times, then Danny heard, "Mac Taylor."

"Mac, it's Danny. I need you to come over to my appartment, Lindsay is here, and she wants to see you."

"Do you know what time it is Danny?"

"Yea, but she really needs you."

"Is she okay?"

"I... don't know, please just hurry."

So Danny and Mac hung up with eachother, and about twenty minutes past, then Danny's door bell rang. He stood up off the bed and walked into the living room and looked through the peep hole. He saw Mac standing at his door yawning constantly.

So he pushed the door opened and said, "She's in my bedroom, don't even ask, just let her explain, I'll be right out here if you need me for anything."
Mac didn't even start to ask Danny anything, he just headed down the hall toward Danny's room.

When he arrived Lindsay was curled up in a ball on the bed crying still. But when she saw Mac she stood up in a hurry and rushed over to him. She stopped right in front of him, then he said, "Lindsay?"
She just fell into his arms, Mac had no idea what had happened to her the morning before, so he sat down next to her on the bed and made her tell him everything.

After she spilled all her guts on what happened with her and the guy that broke in, and Danny and everything elese she looked at him deeply and said, "I know Danny thinks I'm a major idiot now, and you think I'm a baby crying to you like I'm 15 years old crying in my daddy's arms."

Mac shook his head as he said, "No I don't Linds, and neither does Danny. He just want's to make sure you're ok, as do I. So don't think that. Just try and put that dream out of your mind. I'll stay here tonight if it will make you feel better, and then we'll take care of everything else tomorrow. ALright?"

Lindsay nodded then hugged Mac one more time, he then left the room and went back into the room with Danny. Danny had crashed on the couch, and I mean he was out like a light.
So Mac grabbed the other end of the couch and fell asleep as well. Lindsay stayed asleep after her talk with Mac, until about 6:30 anyway. She then woke and headed in to the living room. She saw both guys still out on the couch, but just as she was about to say something and wake them up Mac's phone rang and startled both him and Danny.

He jumped out of sleep and answered his phone. It was Stella asking him why he was late, since he was suppose to be there by six. Mac made up a quick excuse, and then hung up with her very quickly. Danny stood up and strecthed his arms and back out, then he walked over in front of Lindsay as he said, "You sleep at all?"

She nodded as she looked over at Mac still sitting on the couch acting like he didn't hear anything Stella had just said. Then she smiled to Danny and said, "Yea, I slept fine after my little dream, sorry about that."
"No, it's cool, I forgot to feed my goldfish anyway.

He winked to her and then went into the kitchen as he said, "Anyone up for coffee before work?"
MAc stood up at once and said, "Not if you'r emaking it Messer, your coffee smells like a molding DB."
Danny stuck his head out from around the corner as he said, "Do you and Lindsay like reherse what you're going to say everyday, cause she said the same thing yesterday. And just so y'all know you're both wrong!"

Mac and Lindsay both started laughing, then Mac said smiling to Lindsay, "Well, two great minds think alike I guess...........

Chapter 5

-------------7:00am-----------

As the 7 o clock hour came around, all three of them had dressed and had some of "MAC'S COFFEE!!!"
Mac looked at Danny and Lindsay as he headed for the door then he said, "Linds, if you don't feel like coming to work today, I understand. Danny and I can handle your house, and you could stay here if you like."

Danny started nodding along with what Mac had said, but Lindsay started shaking her head at once as she said, "No, I rather come along too, if that's ok with you guys."
Mac started nodding telling her it was ok but Danny started shaking his head no. Then he realized Mac was glaring at him again so he stopped.

Lindsay smiled as she ran up and gave Mac one more hug and he gave her a small peck on her forehead as he said, "Well, I have to get going, you guys take your time, I'll explain to Stella."

Danny nodded, then Lindsay said, "Thanks Mac, really."
"You're welcome, just next time tell us sooner okay?"
"I hope there's not a next time MAc, but if there is, I promise I will."

Mac nodded once, then he raised his brows to Danny and left.
Lindsay then turned and faced Danny, and Danny said, "When ever you're ready Linds, no rush."

Lindsay nodded, and then went down the hall to make Danny's bed. After she finished straightening things up, she met Danny back in the living room, and they left.
Lindsay got in her car first, and Danny just watched. He was pretty much just staring at her, and she knew it too.

"What's wrong Danny, you look like you've seen a ghost."
Danny walked up to her window and leaned down as he said softly, "You don't have to come Montana, we can handle it, we really can."

She closed her eyes, then she said, "No Danny, I have to do this. You might not understand, but I have to, okay?"
He started shaking his head up and down, then he said, "Just keep your head up high Montana, keep the faith, everything will be okay."

Lindsay smiled and nodded once more. Then Danny tapped her the top of her hand and got in his car. They both drove off to work. When they arrived there it looked rather dark outside, like it was going to start raining. So they both got out of their cars and Danny looked up to the sky, and as soon as he did a drop of rain hit his glasses. He took them off and started drying them off on his shirt, and then the whole sky started pouring.

So they ran to the front door, and stopped as soon as they arrived. He finished cleaning his glasses, then he looked at Lindsay and smiled again as she was doing.
Then just as he was about to open the door, Lindsay touched his hand and made him look at her again. Then they both slowly started moving toward each other. This had happened once more, they got to be about one inch from kissing each other but then they were interuped, so Lindsay thought to herself nothing was going to stop her this time.

So she didn't. They got right next to each other and Danny just looked her in the eyes, and she smiled at him and then leaned the rest of the way up and kissed him. He wasn't objecting at all, he was rather enjoying it. So after about five seconds past they pulled away from each other. And they just stood there gazed into the others eyes smiling like crazy.
