Cowboy's Montana

Lindsay started seeing a guy named Jason. Jason works for a prestigious law firm. When Lindsay first started seeing Jason she thought he was great then he changed, or well dropped the facade. They stopped going on dates, Lindsay couldn't hang out with the guys from the lab. Everyone was starting to worry about her.

One night Lindsay and Stella went out after work. They went to Sullivan's but after about half a beer Lindsay leaned over to Stella and whispered in her ear. "I wanna do something, come with me?" Lindsay asked. Stella nodded and sat her beer down as they said their good-byes. "We'll be back guys" Lindsay said as Don and Adam started to complain about not being able to see her. Lindsay and Stella leave and Stella asks "So what is it that you want to do?" "I want to get a tattoo" Lindsay replies. "YOU WHAT?" Stella asks incredulously. People around them were giving them curious looks.

"C'mon Stell, I want to get a tattoo." "Of what? A flower? A butterfly? A fairy?" Lindsay laughs and pulls out a folded piece of sketch paper from her pocket and hands it to Stella. Stella looks at it for a minute, admiring the detail. Its a sketch of the New York city skyline with wheat stalks around the sides and a banner that say Cowboy's Montana. (A/N: I would put up a pic of it on my profile but I am a horrible artist sorry) "Oh wow! Who drew this?" Stella asked. Lindsay blushed "I did" She replied as she pushed open a door and Stella follows her inside.

"What can I do for you ladies today?" asked a man behind the counter with a sleeve that stretched up his neck. "Yes, I'm Lindsay Monroe, I called the other night" "Oh right, the back piece. I'm Sam. Do you have a picture of what you want?"He asked. Lindsay hands him the sketch. "This is really good work. Who drew this?" Sam asked. Lindsay blushed again, starting to feel like a teenager all over. "I did" "Awesome, well have a seat and I'll have this traced up in a minute and we can get started."

Stella and Lindsay sit down to wait. "So...Cowboy's Montana...huh?" Stella asked jokingly. Lindsay blushed again and nods. "What about Jason?" Stella Asked Lindsay stiffened up. "I may have messed up but I know where my heart belongs" Lindsay said as Sam walked back to where they were sitting. "Alright Miss Monroe, ready?" He asked. Lindsay nodded and they followed Sam to the back where he instructed her how to get up on the table. So Lindsay climbs up on it like a pro, and lays her head down. Sam puts the guideline onto Lindsay's lower back and starts to ink her. "Do you want the colors the same?" "Yeah" A few hours later Sam finished and he let Lindsay see it in the full length mirror.(A/N: I know it takes more than a few hours for a detailed tattoo but I had to make it fit in the story lol...this is the last a/n too sorry)

"Oh my god! It's amazing! Thank you" Lindsay said then asks "How much?" Sam just shakes his head and winks at her "For New York's finest, nothing" "Lindsay raised an eyebrow. "You both still have your badges on" Stella and Lindsay giggled. "Thanks" Sam smiled at her "Can I take a picture of it?" Lindsay nods and holds up her shirt higher as Sam snaps the shot. He puts some gauze over the fresh tattoo, then hands her original drawing. "Thank you so much" Lindsay said smiling. "Now don't you lovely ladies have a city to protect?" Sam smiles and asks. Lindsay flashes him a huge smile and they left.

"Wow! It looks even better on you than on paper."Stella said. "Thanks Stell, but it'll look better when the swelling and redness go down." Lindsay answered. "That's not possible Linds." They burst out laughing as they walk back in to the bar.

"Hey Monroe! It's good ta see ya again" The bartender called. Lindsay smiled at him and waved.. They walked over to where Don, Hawkes, Adam, and Angel were playing pool."Hey ladies" Angell Said. "Linds you came back!" "Geez, Adam I told you I would" Lindsay said jokingly. Everyone laughed as Adam blushed. They started another game of pool. Lindsay managed to scratch when she heard Danny call to the guys. She looked at Stella nervously. Stella just smiled and handed her a beer.

Later Jason walks in and Lindsay's perfectly lined up shot goes wide and she scratches on the eight ball. Lindsay sets her cue stick down and walks over to him. "What are you doing here?" "We had plans tonight" He said coldly. Danny, Don, and Hawkes were all within earshot of the conversation. "No, you canceled our plans because of an emergency at work, so I'm spending time with my friends." Lindsay told him. Jason looked around the bar with a look of disgust on his face. "I can see that, but why you would want to spend time here is beyond me" He said disdainfully. "Well some of live on city-paid wages and I happen to like this bar" "Oh right, of course as New York's finest." Jason said acidly. Lindsay bristled at the barb. "You do realize you are in a bar full of New York's finest, Don't you?" Jason rolls his eyes. "I don't want you here." He lowered his voice so he thought only she could hear him, but Danny, Don and Hawkes have trained hearing. "I don't want you here with him." Jason said as he covertly pointed to Danny. All three guys and Stella saw this. "I'll hang out with whomever I please." Lindsay snapped getting angry.

"We're leaving, you are causing a scene." Jason replied. "I am not leaving" Jason grabbed her upper arm so tightly they could see the skin changing colors. Danny started forward but Hawkes and Flack both stopped him. "Hey Messer! I bet I could beat ya!" Angel said loud enough to break his focus for a second. Danny looked at Lindsay and Jason just in time to see her throw his hand off and almost dislocate his wrist in the process. When she went to put her jacket on Danny saw her shirt rise and saw the bandage on her back.

After Lindsay and Jason left Danny cornered Stella. "What's wrong with her back?" Danny ordered. "I don't know what you're talking about, Dan." Stella says as she ducks away from him. "Night guys" Stella calls as she leaves.

'Damn, she knows something, why wouldn't she tell me?...I guess Montana isn't hurt if Stell didn't say anything' Danny thought.
