Flashback

*3 years ago*

New York

Lindsay walked up to his door before her shift. He'd been hard on himself since Ruben Sandoval's death because he blamed himself.

"Danny?"

She knocked on the door.

"Danny? It's Lindsay. Are you home? "

She knew something was up. That feeling in her gut that was churning and telling her something was wrong.

"Danny?"

She knocked again. She knew he was home so she used the spare key to open the door and see if he was alright. Walking into the living room, she heard voices coming from his bedroom. As she got closer to the door, it swung open and she came face to face with a clearly rumpled Danny and Rikki.

"Lindsay?"

Danny fearfully questioned.

"What the hell is going on, Danny?"

"It's not what it looks like Linds…I…we... we're not…"

"Save it, Danny. I'm not an idiot."

"I…better go…away…from here."

Rikki said hesitaintly. And she grabbed her stuff and walked out. Tears welled in Lindsay's eyes and she held them back with everything she had.

"Linds? …look Montana…I.

"DON'T. Don't you dare call me that Danny Messer. You cheated on me and that's NOT okay. Nothing you say is going to justify that. We're OVER, Danny.

"Lindsay?"

She turned and walked away, tears falling down her cheeks.

As she boarded the plane she felt completely and utterly alone. Nobody wanted her around, so she left. 'Not like they're going to care.' She thought. She couldn't believe him. He told them she was the one who cheated on him and now nobody wanted anything to do with her. After finding out that he told them that she quit and bought a one way ticket to Boozeman ,Montana. She was going home and hopefully staying there and she'd never have to return to New York.

Present Day

Flight 180

Boozeman, MT to New York, NY

'Shit.' She thought she'd never have to back to New York EVER again. But now, now she has to work with the very people who betrayed her. It hurt. Still, after all this time it still hurt. She missed them all, well except Danny. She knew she dated him as a distraction but it had hurt her that he cheated but she knew she was over that and that she could care less what or who he did now. But, she missed Mac and Stella, Adam, Hawkes, and even Sid. And Flack. She'd missed him the most. His jokes, the sparkle in his eyes, his humor, his laugh, his smile, she missed it all. Now she has to go back and though she's dreading it she's still looking forward to seeing them. Even, if they hate her. They used to be her family and now…who knows what's going to be ahead of her. 'Guess we'll find out soon' she thought. 'Here goes nothing' she said to herself as her plane landed.
