CHAPTER 1 – RISK
"Well, Perry, that's what AFIS is for." Lindsay teased the lab tech and poked him in the chest.
"Thanks, Detective Monroe."
"It's Lindsay," she said with a smile.
Perry blushed and then turned away from Lindsay who then turned and started to walk out of the lab.
Perry, it's now or never. A little pep talk never hurt. "Lindsay?"
She turned back to him, still smiling, "Yes?"
Perry looked quite nervous, which made Lindsay suspicious and nervous as well.
"Ummm…would you…uh…would you…umm…like to…" His eyes shifted to the floor and he blurted out, "I have tickets to an opera on Saturday night, and I was wondering if you would like to go with me."
Lindsay tried to hide her laughter and shyly answered, "Sure. What time?"
Perry's eyes widened. "You're going?" He pulled himself together quickly to give himself an air of bravado, "Yes, you're going. Seven o'clock okay for you?"
Still smiling, Lindsay answered, "Fine for me. See you later, Perry."
CSI:NY
At the opera:
Why, oh why did I agree to go out with Perry? It's not that riding in his mother's Pinto was so bad, but did he have to serenade me with his opera singing along with the 8-track? If ever there was a right moment to be called in to a scene, this is it. I feel so guilty for feeling this way, especially since he looks so happy here. Oh, goodness. Do the characters in operas always get stabbed? Can I be a character and get released from my misery?
Lindsay watched as Perry's index fingers moved along with the music. Just then she felt the zap of her phone's vibration. A text message from Mac…yada yada yada…DB…yada yada yada…subway…yada yada yada…YESSSSS!!!
Lindsay leaned over to Perry and whispered, "I'm sorry, Perry, I've been called in."
Perry looked at her with disappointment, "I'll walk you out."
"You don't have to," she said too quickly.
"I want to."
As they made their way to the foyer, Lindsay said, "Thank you for inviting me. I had a great time. Sorry it had to end so early." She tried to sound as sympathetic as possible.
"We'll have to finish it some other time. When's your next off day?"
"Ummm… I'll have to check the schedule…I have to go. Mac's waiting. Bye!" She ran out of the door and hailed a cab.
CSI:NY
Subway tracks and high heels do not go well together. And investigating a crime scene in a dress…as if Messer needs encouragement.
"Well, Ms. Monroe. You clean up nice."
This comment caused Lindsay to smile. Maybe getting a little attention isn't so bad. At least Messer isn't as creepy as Perry.
"Were you at the mayor's fundraiser, too?" She's all dolled up, so it must have been a special event. I've never seen her dressed up like that. Nice.
"I was at the opera."
"I am hanging out with all the wrong people." I wonder who she went with. She's never spoken about a boyfriend. I thought we were getting a little closer, but I guess not. Two can play this game. I knew I should have gone over to talk to that young lady who was flirting with me on the subway. I hope Lindsay doesn't keep bending over like that…
CSI:NY
Danny gets on the subway car after what has turned into a 24-hour work day. Wait, is that the same girl from before? Yes, it is.
"Get outta here," he murmured as he took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes. He made his way over to the young lady who was smiling at him as brightly as before.
"How're you doing? I'm Danny. What's that you're studying?"
Well, Montana, eat your heart out…
