Chapter 6

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

Danny and Lindsay both just continued staring in one an others eyes not either one daring to blink afraid they might miss the others smile or eyes flutter.
About another minute or so past when Stella started walking down the hall toward the door when she saw them standing about a foot away from each other.

She started shaking her head with a grin on her face, then she reached the door and opened it startling both Danny and Lindsay.
They both finally broke eye contact and looked at Stella, and Stella said, "Okay you two, time for work. Mac told me everything that happened, you okay Lindsay?"

She nodded and said, "Yea, I'm fine, just a little shook up. But once we head over to my place and gather the evidence and actually find out who broke in, I'll be even better, thanks for asking."

Stella nodded and then looked at Danny and said, "Danny, Flack wants to talk to you, he's probably in the break room drinking coffee as usual."
Danny nodded, and then looked back at Lindsay and smiled. Then he walked past Stella and toward the break room.

After he was out of sight Stella looked at Lindsay and smiled real big as she said, "I'm happy for you guys, I really am glad you guys are so close."
Lindsay kept a smile on her face, then she said, "What about you Stella?"
Stella started to look confused, then she asked, "What do you mean?"

Lindsay laughed as she said, "You know, everyone knows.
We can tell by the way you both look at each other."

"What are you talking about Linds?"
Lindsay again laughed as she said, "I'm talking about you and Mac, it's so obvious it's not even fuuny."
She could tell Stella was starting to blush, she knew she liked Mac. Stella tried to convince her other wise and just get off the subject, but it wasn't working.

But then Mac came from around the corner and both ladies stopped talking, but Lindsay was still giggling.
So when he walked up to them he smiled and said, "What's so funny, what did I miss?"

Neither one of them said anything, so Mac pretty much just let it go. He then looked at Lindsay and said, "You ready to go?"

Lindsay nodded and said, "Yea, who all is coming?"

Mac looked at Stella as he said, "I figured we'd bring everyone. Me, Stella, Danny and FLack, just to make sure we don't miss anything."

Lindsay nodded, and then Mac said, "Why don't you ride with me, I'll go gather Danny and Don up, you can go wait by my car, and Stella, you should probably come with me too."
Stella raised a brow to Mac as she said, "We're big girls Maccy, we can take our own cars you know."

"Just do what I ask please, I have my reasons, trust me. Now go."
Lindsay was still grinning from ear to ear about Stella and MAc trying to hide it so bad but really only showing it more.
But they both ended up doing what Mac said anyway, he was the one in charge after all.

About five minutes later the three guys came out the door and they all headed off to Lindsay place.
When they arrived outside her house, Mac pulled into the driveway, and Danny and Flack pulled up behind them.

They could all see the broken window in the front where the guy must have gotten in.
Mac, Stella and Lindsay all slowly got out of the car and Mac and Stella starting walking toward the house. Lindsay stayed by the car as Flack walked by her and threw a small smile and kept walking.

Danny however got up beside Lindsay and looked up toward the house as he said, "You're very brave Montana, I envy you."
Lindsay looked at Danny as she said, "I don't believe that, I've always envyed you, you've always been the brave one, I just try to follow in your foot steps."

Danny strugged as he said still not looking at her, "I guess my steps aren't the best in the world to follow."
"You're right." Lindsay said causing Danny to look at her. At that time she wasn't looking his way anymore, but she still said, "Your are the greatest to follow, and I'd never choose anybody elses, ever."

Chapter 7

Danny smiled at what Lindsay had just said to him. Then she turned and looked at him also smiling from ear to ear. Danny could tell she had a very small tear in the corner of her eye, but he for sure didn't want to make her even more upset so he just gently took her in his arms for a hug one more time.

As she was up against Danny's chest he could feel her heart beat from her chest. He knew she must still be very frightened from what had happened yesterday. So he whispered in her ear very softly, "I'm here Montana, and I always will be, I promise."

Lindsay smiled again as the tear fell from her eye, she wiped it away on Danny's shoulder and then pulled away from him again. They then touched hands together, and started heading for the house. Mac, Flack and Stella had already given them the sign it was clear. So they walked up to the door, and Lindsay stopped. Danny looked at her and said, "Come on."

Lindsay lowered her head not wanting to admit it, but then she said, "But Danny.... I'm.. Scared...."
Danny smiled slowly as he said, "I know, so am I. But you don't have to face this alone."
She nodded and then took the first step into her house.

she looked around, then she saw Flack standing over by her phone. She then turned to her left and looked into her livingroom and saw how it was all destroyed practically.
She saw all the glass all over the floor, then she saw the big hole in the wall where the bad guy had swung the bat at her first and missed.

She couldn't handle it, and when Mac and Stella looked at her they knew it. They walked into veiw and just looked her in her eyes, and then Mac yelled, "Lindsay wait!"
She turned around and started running out of the house, Danny started running after her but was unpleasently stopped. Or I guess you could say tripped.

When he made it to the steps of her house someone through a stick out in front of him and he tumbled down the stairs landing on his arms and face.
The guy that threw the stick had a black mask on and started running down the street. And of course then Flack got involved. HE started chasing him all the way down the street. Then the masked guy turned his head around and pulled a gun toward Flack. Flack at once did a shoulder roll missing the bullet, only for it to end up grazing Mac's arm.

Flack pulled his gun out and shot the guy in the back of his leg making him slam to the ground dropping his gun making it fly about twenty feet away. Flack pounced the guy and handcuffed him, and Stella was over trying to help Danny up, but then after Mac got shot she ran over to him leaving poor Danny face down on the sidewalk.

Lindsay saw everything, but just started running the other way again. She knew she had just made a terrible mistake, and she had no idea how to fix it now.

TBC, what do y'all think of this chapter??
 
Thanks :)

Chapter 8

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

Flack got on his radio at once and called for several paramedics and police back up. Then as he sat on the bad guy he looked down the street toward Mac and Stella and yelled, "Hey, you guys alright?"

Stella looked at Flack as she yelled back, "I think he'll be okay, he's thankfully not bleeding too much, it just grazed him."

Flack nodded and then looked toward Danny lying face down on the ground, he then yelled, "Danny! You have to go find your girlfriend!"
Mac then looked toward Danny as he was gripping his arm in pain, then he whimpered and said, "No.... Just leave her, we'll find her later."

Danny sat up slowly very dizzy headed. He realized his glasses had broken in half and that blood was trickling into his right eye. He took his hand and reached up to his face to try and wipe the blood away, but really all that did was make it worse on the count his hand was full of it too. He looked worse then Mac did, and that's what everyone said too.

The paramedics pulled up along side the other police officers. Two of them headed over to Flack and the bad guy. They took him from Flack, so Flack then walked back down the street toward Danny on his way saying, "Whoa Messer, you're pretty messed up for just falling on you're face."

Danny squinted as he could barely see, but he glared at Flack thinking that joke was the most unfunny he had heard in a long time.
One of the paramedics got Mac's arm wrapped up, (The bullet wasn't in his arm), and then another brought bandages and tape over to Danny.

Danny had one cut over his eye, a scrape on his cheek and nose, and gravel all in his hands.
As the paramedic tried to dig the rocks out he was complaining the whole time. Stella walked up next to him and said, "Sorry I left you on the ground, but you saw.. Well, I guess you didn't, but you heard Mac get shot so I had to make sure he was......"
"It's okay Stell, I'll live, it just HURTS!!!!"

Anyway, after they finished wrapping Danny's hands all the CSI's packed up their stuff and headed back to the lab.
When they got back there Adam started questioning everything that had hapenned. HE didn't believe Danny had so many scrapes and cuts from falling down four steps, but he wasn't there to see just how hard he hit. But anyway, Danny realized he forgot one of the evidence bags in his car, so slowly he turned back around and headed back out the front door to his car.

When he made it to the door he pushed it open as he was looking down at the ground, he didn't know someone was standing right in front of him so he ran right in to them.
He looked up as he said at once, "I'm sorry......."
When he looked up he couldn't believe who was there, it was Lindsay.

He took one step back noticing he was still up against her.
Then he looked around and said slowly and softly, "Montana...."
She just stared at him, not looking him right in the eye, but staring at him.
He then put his arm out as he said, "Why did you leave like that, Mac got shot, and Flack now has something else to tease me about....... My beautiful face got scratched."
Danny put a small smile on his face as did Lindsay, she then looked up at his face and said, "I think I....."
"What?" Danny said concerned.
"I think I need some time, my cousin lives in Albany, I think I want to go stay with her for a little while."

Danny looked down as he said, "Ohhh."
Lindsay then made Danny look at her as she said, "What?"
Danny grinned as he said, "Well I just thought.....Oh never mind, it's not important. Do whatever you need to Monatana, just know we're all here for you when you wnat to come back.
I'll let Mac know, take care of yourself, and don't be a stranger to call me understand?"

Lindsay started shedding tears as she nodded unwillingly.
She didn't want to leave, but she didn't know what else to do.
Danny just smiled as he leaned over to her and gave her a quick kiss on her cheek and touched her arm. HE then pulled away and started heading for his car again. She looked back at him for a moment hoping he would look back at her, but never did.

So Lindsay stared for a few more seconds, then she turned back around and walked into the lab. She wanted t see Mac, that is if he was okay. Cause even though he was, she had no idea, she left. So she walked down the hall and actually ran right into the person she wanted to see. She stopped about ten feet away from him, looking at his wrapped arm.

He didn't say anything, but then she started crying again as she said, "I am soooo sorry Mac, this is all my fault, and now Danny hates me too. The one person I thought I could never turn against me, I just did. I am so sorry!"
Mac stod there for a moment and just looked at Lindsay, then he slowly walked toward her and wrapped her in a hug as he said, "HE doesn't hate you sweetie, he's just angry, but not at you, I promise. He want's you to have your space so you can feel better, that's all. Come on, we'll talk."

Danny walked around the corner just as MAc and Lindsay entered the office. He walked up just close enough to hear Lindsay say, "If Danny never likes me again, then there really is no point for me to go on............

Chapter 9

------------------
Danny stood ouside the door eavesdropping for about another five minutes. He listened to Lindsay crying and sounding like she really was scared to ever go home agian. His heart hurt listening to everything that was going on, he couldn't take it anymore, he busted through the door as he said, "Come on Montana, you know I could never not like you.......I love you."

Mac's eyes widened at what Danny just said, and Lindsay went into some sort of shock. Mac felt very strange at that time. So he slowly stood up as he said, "Well..Ummmmm, I'll leave you two to talk again. I'm going to go call the church,-uh I mean the police station, bye!"
He rushed out of the break room leaving Danny and Lindsay alone again.

Danny walked over to her and stood in front of her chair. She was still crying but she didn't say anything. Danny looked down at her, then she finally looked back up at him and said softly and crackling, "D-did you....."
Danny stared at her as he said, "Did I what Monatana?"

Lindsay stood up as she said, "Did you mean what you just said?"
Danny looked around, then back at Lindsay as he said, "Y-yea, I did....."
Lindsay smiled as the tears just started flooding her whole face, then Danny smiled as he leaned toward her. He got about another inch away from her face as he said, "I'm sorry about everything, I didn't mean to just brush you off earlier. I was just mad that anyone could ever do such a thing, especially to you....."

Lindsay closed her eyes as she fell forward back into Danny's kiss one more time. Very gently he wrapped his arms around her and they just stood there solid for a minute not letting go of each other. Then afterwards they fell out of the kiss and just stayed in their hug.

Moments later Flack came into the breakroom not really paying attention to who was in there. He thought he'd find Mac. But once he realized it was Danny and Lindsay he stopped. They saw him and broke their hug, they looked him in his eyes as Danny said, "What is it Flack?"

Flack blinked slowly as he said, "I have to tell you guys something, it's very important..........
