As Lindsay walks into the squad she sees Tom hanging around her desk.

"How's your dad?"

"Fine. He had a bit of a scare but the doctors say he will be good in a few more days."

"Good, in the mean time I have something for you." He says as he points over to the holding cell.

"What did she do this time?" Lindsay asks as she looks over at Cindy.

"There was raid on an office downtown. A doctor selling illegal prescriptions. I found her downstairs in the tank with the rest, thought I'd let you deal with her." Tom started walking back up to his office when he turned back to Lindsay, "She really does throw herself into her work."

"I just wish it didn't involve me busting her out so often." Lindsay shot back with a grin.

Tom laughed and continued upstairs.

Cindy stood up when she noticed Lindsay walking towards her. "Before you say anything, I was working on this story and I didn't realize it was really that big of a deal.. I mean it was just a little rinky dink office. I had no idea it was even on the narcotics' radar. I mean really, such a big raid for a two bit doctor."

Lindsay watched as Cindy tried to explain herself out of this current mess when she realized that Cindy seemed jumpier that usual. Of all of her friends Cindy had the most energy and was always on the go, whether she was working or playing, but this was different.

"Cindy, I get it but it really doesn't look good. You could decorate you're in there so much and the drug raids really need to stop." Lindsay tried to add some levity to the situation because what she had to say next was weighing on her, but she had to do it. "Look, Tom isn't too happy" she lied "so to appease him I'm going to take you downstairs for a drug test and then you can go home."

"Lindsay" Cindy exclaimed in disbelief.

"What? It'll take two seconds." Lindsay assured her as she put the key into the lock.

"Linds," Cindy reached through the bars and touched her hand "I can't" she said quietly as Lindsay slid the key back out. It took Cindy a few seconds to gain the courage to look up, and what she saw nearly broke her heart. In their short friendship she had been on the receiving end of many of Lindsay's looks, but she wasn't ready for this one, complete and utter disappointment. "I'm sorry" she whispered as Lindsay walked away.

Lindsay walked into Jill's office, "we have a problem."

Jill stopped working and looked up, "do we now."

"Cindy got picked up in a drug raid today." Lindsay said as she slumped onto the couch. "There was a doctor downtown selling illegal prescriptions."

Jill smiled, "that girl does go all out to get her scoop."

"She wasn't."

"Wasn't what?" Jill asked, looking at Lindsay like she was crazy.

"She wasn't working. She said she was but she won't take a test."

"Lindsay, you wanted to drug test her? That probably just pissed her off. I swear, I don't know which one of you is more stubborn."

"Jill, she didn't say she wouldn't take it, she said she couldn't take it. Plus, I've seen my share of jumpy junkies"

"Lindsay" Jill yelled as she stood up, "go let her out."

"I'm telling you we have a problem. I can't just let this go."

Jill could tell that Lindsay didn't know what to do so she decided to make it easy for her. "Well it doesn't matter because I'm not filing against her. I'm not going to mess up her life." She moved out from behind her desk and went to the couch. "We should have known she wasn't okay, it hasn't even been two weeks. Plus with everything else going on it was just easier to go along with her denial."

"What is Cindy doing behind bars again?' Claire asked as she came into the office.
