DISCLAIMER: I do not own anything except my house and my car, but i really really need those.

It had been exactly two years to date since Danny Messer had last seen Lindsay Monroe, and now his boss was sending him to Miami, where he knew she was working now. Sitting on the plane for the three hour flight only gave him time to reflect on his nerves, to say he had missed her was an understatement. He hadn't been able to stop thinking about her ever since she had declared that she was leaving two days after Danny had confessed to cheating on her.

Only half paying attention to the flight attendant who was giving them the regulatory safety instructions whilst the pilot prepared for landing, he glanced at the photo of the two of them together that he kept in his wallet. He didn't know whether she knew it was him coming, or how she would for that matter, he cared about her too much to continue hurting her. He loved her too little too late.

"Autopsy came back" Lindsay began as she caught up with her colleague on the 'Young' case, Delko slowed in his step to allow her to fall into step beside him "Cerebral anoxia and ventricular tachycardia" she read from the file she was carrying in her hand.

"Death by drowning" Delko clarified "Let's go back to the car, see what we can find" he told her, leading the way to the Crime Lab holding yard where their latest crime scene was being held, after the underwater recovery team had pulled the car from the river, the smell from the vehicle had alerted passer-by's to call the police. Upon fishing the vehicle out of Snapper Creek Canal, they'd found the body of Paul Young in the trunk, bacteria causing a build of rancid gas, therefore causing the smell, unfortunately for the pair of CSI's Jerry from the underwater rescue team had slackened the tow loop on the car too fast, the body had burst the gas bubble over the pair off them, meaning it had taken them twice as long to begin work on the evidence.

"Evidence has been compromised from the flow of the canal" Lindsay stated "I've got a piece of adhesive tape, under the drivers floor mat, we'll have to see if we can get any latent prints" she frowned in frustration at the lack of evidence they were currently being presented with.

Eric Delko's ringing cell phone interrupted their search of the car crime scene, hanging up he motioned to her "Seal the car, our New Yorker's here" he teased, he knew she was somewhat nervous at seeing her former work colleague "Does the name Danny Messer ring a bell" he smirked, his frown faltering at the look of hurt that momentarily flashed through her eyes.

"The reason you're here?" he questioned "He's the guy you fell in love with?" he asked her again as the clear plastic sheet was secured around the vehicle, preventing any airborne fibers and dust particles compromising any evidence that they may upon a miracle return.

"It was two years ago, let's just forget it please" her voice almost sounded pleading as the final tie wrap was secured in place and the holding yard was secured.

"You must be Detective Messer" Horatio greeted as he stepped from his office into the reception area of the Miami Dade Crime Lab, upon Danny's nod he held out his hand in greeting "Lieutenant Horatio Caine" he welcomed "Officer's Delko and Monroe will be here in a moment, they'll fill you in on the evidence so far" he advised "I trust you have substantial evidence that suggest that this case coincides with your own?" he questioned leading the younger blond man through the crime lab and into an office at the far end of the hall.

"Same car, same MO, Our victim worked in Steel Engineering out here in Miami, before moving to New York, last year" Danny responded and handed over a case file.

A knock on the door interrupted their conversation "Sorry H, have you seen Lindsay or Eric?" Calleigh asked from the doorway, holding a sheet of paper in hand

"There on their way back from the car" Horatio answered "Something I can help you with?"
Calleigh smiled gently "Their victim is relate to my victim, Alexx confirms COD as…" Calleigh paused for effect "Death by Drowning" she added "Trace evidence shows that he was in the same canal, he drifted downstream, caught on some reeds and marshland, joggers found him this morning" she told him handing Horatio the sheet of paper "TOD, three to four weeks as per liver temp and body degradation"
