Danny and Flack were sitting in the break room discussing the case they had just wrapped up. Danny suddenly noticed Lindsay standing outside talking to some random lab tech. Laughing with some random lab tech. Danny suddenly felt a weird twisty feeling stomach, the same feeling he got whenever she was around. It was feeling he had never felt before, and he wasn't quite sure what it was.
"Yo Messer! You even listening to me?" Danny was suddenly jerked out of his thoughts by the detective. He looked at Flack. "Um yeah sure I was listening, you were talking about the case, and the, um, suspect and the...um..." Danny's gaze drifted back over Flack's shoulder to see Lindsay standing closer to the lab tech.. Flack followed his gaze and realised the cause of the distraction. He laughed and looked back at Danny. "Dude, relax, the guy's gay." Danny snapped his attention back to Flack. "What? I mean, what?" Flack laughed again and shook his head. "Dude, you got it bad! Gotta give it to Lindsay though, of all the people in the world, all it took was a country girl from Montana to make the great Danny Messer fall in love." Danny's head whipped round so quickly he almost fell off his chair. "What!"
Flack sighed. "Oh come on, it's so obvious you like her." "Yeah, like not...I mean I don't, y'know" He lowered his voice. "I don't love her." Flack leant forward, lowering his voice also, mimicking Danny, "Uh hate to break it to you, but yeah, you do" Danny shook his head adamantly. "No way man"
Flack sighed impatiently. "Look Danny, I really don't have time to deal with oyur denial so just tell me this. How do you feel when your around her?" Danny shifted in his seat. "I don't know...happy I guess. I mean that's normal though, we're friends, and Montana's cool, and funny and smart" Flack grinned. "And how do you feel when you're on different cases?" "Kinda annoyed, I mean we're a good team, we work well together." Flack sat back in his chair. "And how did you feel when you saw Lindsay talking to the lab guy?" Danny paused. What had he been feeling. When he saw her smiling at him, laughing with him, all he could picture was him ripping the head off that skinny little runt and... "OMG!" Danny practically yelled. He turned towards Flack. "I think I love Montana!" "Well duh" the detective replied, laughing at the confusion on Danny's face. "Danny we've all known for months. I cant believe it's taken you this long to figure it out" Danny looked at Flack, "What do you mean, we?" Flack got up looking nervous suddenly. "Well, you know, Me, Stella, Hawkes, Adam, Mac...everyone." Danny stared at Flack. "So, basically everyone knew that I love Montana, and no one thought to TELL ME!" "Woah, don't blame me...we all thought you knew!" Danny sat down in his seat, looking like all the air had been knocked out of him. "I cant believe it...I love Lindsay...I mean, love...Lindsay...I-just." Flack walked towards the door grinning broadly. "Oh and Danny? She totally loves you too so once you've stopped acting like you just had a lobotomy, go find her and tell her." He went to grab the door handle, then paused again. "Oh and can you do it soon? Cos if you and Lindsay get together in the next three days, I'm gonna win the office pool, and it's up to 200" Flack dodged the cushion that was lobbed his way and walked down the hall to collect his winnings, leaving Danny processing the information. "I love Lindsay. God, I'm screwed."
