Vacation
Mac had gathered the team in the breakroom to debrief them on what had happened when the Irish mob hit the lab and took Danny and Adam hostage.
Stella, Flack, Lindsay, Sheldon and Adam were all sat around a table waiting for the last member of the team and the bossman. To tell them what was going on. 10 minutes later in strolled Danny looking tired and in the same clothes he had on the day before. Taking the only spare seat next to Stella he prepared for the taunting he knew was about to start.
"Hey guys" He greeted smiling or smirking you couldn't really tell.
"Hey Danno had a busy night?" Flack asked trying to stop himself laughing from the way Danny looked, all bedraggled, hair sticking out in all directions. Shirt crinkledand undone showing his famous wife beater underneath. As soon as Flack asked that question everyone burst out laughing.
"Ya know Flack if I wasn't so tired i'd kick your ass right now." Danny grumbled.
"Cause ya would." Flack said through gritted teeth.
Blushing slightly Danny took off his wrinkled shirt and looked up to find Lindsay laughing along with everyone else.
"Montana?"
"Yeah Danny" She answered managing to get her laughing under control.
"Do you find this funny?"Danny asked pointing at himself. By doing this he made their collegues laugh harder. Standing up he started to walk around to where she was siting.
After working with Danny for 2 years and being in a relationship with him for a further 2 months, Lindsay could tell when he was going to do something to her which would embrass her also. So being cautious she slipped off her cahir and went and hid behind Hawkes.
"Come on Danny. I'm sorry for laughing but it's not exactly hard to go into a closet and find someclean clothes. And you do look really funny."She reasoned.
By now the rest of the team had stopped laughing and were watching the interaction between the two youngest CSI's with interest.
"No Montana. I'll show ya what's funny." He said and his eyes darkened to a colbalt colour.
'Oh shit' thought Lindsay as she took up resisdence behind Stella. She lenat forwardand whispered in Stella's ear."Look at his eyes." Once Stella heard that she turned and looked at Danny's eyes. "Oh shit. Now I see why any girl would sleep with him" She whispered back.
"I know that look and believe me it has nothing to do with sex. He's up to something and I need a plan fast."
Danny stood watching the conversation between Stella and his Montana. Taking a moment to apprieciate how beautiful she is. He quickly thought of a plan and turned to Flack to get him to help.
"...Alright man have ya got it." He looked at Flack and was responded to by a nod of the head.
Slowly they both crept up behind the ladies and grabbed them by the waists causing them to struggle against their grip.
Sensing that she wasn't in danger and knew the arms around her waist made her feel safe she relaxed into his body. Unlike Stella who continued to struggle against Flack.Positioning herself she kicked him right where it hurts, causing him to release her and drop to his knees and clutch at his crotch.
As everyone fussed over Flack they missed the series of stolen kisses Danny placed on Lindsay's neck and shoulders.
Once everyone had once again settled down around the table, where Danny took Lindsay's hand discretely under the table, Mac walked in holding a case file and he was wearing a rare smile on his face. "Sorry about the wait the Chief wouldn't leave me alone. Anyway now i'm here I might as well tell you hy i've gathered you all together. Simple really we are all going on vacation. The Chief feels the team is drifting apart so he's sending us to... how about I not tell until we get to the airport tomorrow. The plan leaves at 1o'clock so be there for 12 noon to be safe." After finishing his speech he made his way to the door "oh and by the way you will need to pack swim wear and comfortable and casaul clothing." Opening the door and stepping out in to the already busy lab, leaving 6 stunned people in his wake.
"Please pinch me to make sure i'm awake." Flack commented so Danny slapped him on the back of his head.
Coming out of shock Stella and Lindsay turned towards each other and screamed at the same time "SHOPPING SPREE!" causing all the boys to groan loudly in disaproval.
As the shift was coming to an end, everyone was anxious to find out what Mac had planned for tomorrow. The boys headed out to Sullivan's to throw back a few beers, whilst Stella and Lindsay went shopping in down-town Manhattan.
Luckily for them Stella had brought the labs SUV she had been using earlier in the day. So they could park anywhere. Pulling up outside Barney's the girls exited the car and walked into the department store.
After they raided the top and pants sections where they came across a few things they liked. Hastily they made thier way to the swimsuit section.
"Stella I really don't need a bikini" Lindsay said to a possessed Stella. Who just shook her head and dragged Lindsay further into the rails. "Now you look through this rail and i'll go go through this one and i'm sure we'll find something which will catch the eye of a certain Italian." Stella said with a mischevious twinkle in her eye, making Lindsay feel uneasy about what was gonna happen, shaking her head at that thought she set about looking at the rail of bikini's.
10 minutes later Stella came back to Lindsay and shoved her into a changing room and handed her a bikini for Lindsay to try on.
Looking at the plain chocolate coloured garment she decided to atleast try it on and calm the shopping crazed Stella. Stepping out of the changing room and looking sheppishly at Stella for her opinion. Stella sta in one of the chairs provided and looked at Lindsay triumphantly. "Now that's gonna deffinately turn a few heads."
"Are ya sure Stel?" Lindsay asked looking down at her figure.
"Postive kiddo now go and get changed so we can pay for this lot." pointing at the baskets of clothing laid next to the chair she had just vacated. "And then we'll go and jion the boys for a well deserved drink."
Across town the boys were well into the third round of beers because they didn't have to be up early to get to work in the morning so they decided to get blitzed and sleep it off on the plane ride to where ever they were going.
"Hey man. How do you think the girls are doing right now?" Danny asked Hawkes who sat across the table from him.
"I don't know Dan. Knowing Stel I think Lindsay would probably have a new wardrobe and shoe collection by the time Stella's done with her." Danny looked worried at this. Taking a rather long swig of his beer he settled himself down to watch the Nicks game which was on the big screen, but his thoughts strayed to thier first night together on the pool table at his aprtment. He smiled goofily at his thoughts causing Hawkes to look at him wearily.
45 mintues later when the Nicks had won the Lakers 72-68 and a couple more rounds had been thrown down thier necks in walked Stella and Lindsay who looked like she had been clothes tortured, when all they had done was go shopping, spotting the boys they made thier way over to find them very drunk and in need of a cup of coffee and a warm bed to sleep it off.
"Montana" Danny slurred. "Show em' ya tatoo they don't believe me that I know that ya got one. I'm telling ya it's on her back" He continued looking Hawkes dead in the eye, then throwing a puppy dog look Danny knew she couldn't resist.
"Hold on one second." Stella declared on and turned on Lindsay. "You have a tatoo?" Lindsay only nodded her head. "And please do tell how Mr Messer over here knows that little detail." Looking hopefully around trying to find a way out of telling Stella about thier relationship she made up a story to 'cover her back'.
"He walked into the locker room when I was changing after doing dumpster duty one day and he must have seen it then ." She explained lieing through her teeth. But the answer she gave seemed to satisfy Stella. So she continued."Maybe we should get these two to bed and then head there ourselves after today i'm glad we don't have to get up early for work tomorrow."
Getting Danny and Hawkes, who were the only ones left because Mac, Adam and Flack had left earlier on, into a cab each, with Lindsay who was taking Danny home, whereas Stella who was taking Hawkes home, it proved to be rather difficult as they kept refusing to leave or they would simply open the opposite cab door and head straight for the bar all over again, so the girls had to start the whole process again.
By the time all 4 of them were in bed it was, well, past 2 in the morning and all were exhausted and were looking forward to whatever Mac had planned for them.
