disclaimer: don't own anything cept Alexa..as usual
----------------------------------------------------------------
The day had gone by smoothly and good. The cause of death on Haylie Jerod was a severed carotid artery caused by a stab wound. They had a suspect in the case and the man was currently sitting in interrogation. Alexa graciously offered to do the interrogation, and Flack reluctantly let her. "If you need anything I'll be on the other side of the mirror." He told her.

Alexa smiled. "Thanks, I'll be fine. Don't worry about me." She said and with that she walked into the room. Flack walked into the other room beside the interrogation to watch with Hawkes and Danny.

"Well, New York's Finest sure are fine." The guy stated leaning back in chair and smiling like a fool.

"Nice saying you come up with that by yourself Bryan DeLuca?" Alexa asked sitting down and opening her file.

"Only for you babe." Bryan said. Flack had been watching the whole debacle and rolled his eyes.

"Alright enough with the bullshit. Nice rap sheet you've got here. Rape, Armed Robbery, Grand Auto Theft, and Domestic Abuse." She said reading the file. She pulled out a photo. "You know this girl?" she asked.

He looked at it with a smile. "No can't say that I have." He told her.

"Really cause I've got evidence that says other wise. Repeated phone calls to her from you. Your fingerprints all over her wallet, and there is the restraining order Haylie Jerod filed against you. That was enough to get a search warrant for you apartment. And guess what a knife in your kitchen had traces of Haylies blood on it. Your fingerprints were on it. Care to change your story?" She asked standing up. She placed her hands on the table and leaned forward. "What she had enough of your lame pick up lines and your harassment? And when she filed that restraining order that pissed you off."

"You bitch!" He yelled and lunge forwarded at her. She maneuvered quickly and got out of the way, as Hawkes, Danny and Flack bolted out of the room next door. After getting of the floor he lunged at Alexa again, but she punched him in the nose and threw him down to the ground cuffing him as Danny, Hawkes and Flack entered the room.

Alexa smiled at them. "I'll take that as a yes."

"New girls got strength." Danny chuckled.

Don and Alexa sat at the their desks finish reports and Don was on the phone. He hung up and stared her. She finally realized he was staring at her and she looked up. "Yes?" she asked.

"Hawkes, Danny, Danny's girlfriend Lindsay, Stella, and Mac are going out for drinks want to join them?" he asked.

"Sure paperwork can wait till tomorrow." Alexa replied getting up and putting on her coat. "Lead the way Don." She said.

"Gladly." He replied placing his hand on the small of her back and guides her out.

They arrived at Sullivans 5 minutes later. They found the rest of the team in a booth. Mac and Stella sat on one side next to them was Hawkes then at the end was Lindsay leaning up against Danny. "Hey guys." Flack said as he and Alexa approach the table.

"Hey" they all said in uniasion as Lindsay and Danny scoot over to make room for the couple.

"Lindsay, Stella, Mac this is Alexa Kyler. Alexa, Lindsay Monroe, Stella Bonasera and Mac Taylor." Flack introduced.

"Hi, nice to meet ya'll." She said sitting down and Flack sitting beside her.

"So you're from Florida, what part?" Stella asked.

"St. Pete, it's in the Tampa Bay area." Alexa explained as Flack poured them both a glass of beer.

"Nice," she replied with a smile.

For the next couple of hours they talked about everything under the sun ranging from Danny and Lindsay to what everyone had for dinner last night. Suddenly My Wish by Rascal Flatts came on. "Oooohhh I love this song." Alexa said slightly tipsy. "Let's dance." She suggested to Flack. By now Lindsay was already dragging Danny out to the dance floor.

"I don't know." Flack said scratching his head.

"Come on it'll be fun." Alexa said pouting and making her face sad.

"Oh, alright." He replied and got up. They walked out to the dance floor and he pulled her close. She rested her head on his shoulder as they dance.

"You look beautiful tonight." Danny whispered to Lindsay.

"You don't look to bad yourself, either cowboy." Lindsay said to him with a smile. "So are you working tomorrow?" she asked.

"Nope, you?"

"Nope, thinking what I'm thinking." She asked with a seductive smile.

"ummm no but I'll let you show me." He replied.

"I would glad to." Lindsay said as Danny spun her around. She looked over at Alexa and Flack. "They are so adorable together, aren't they Danny?"

"I wouldn't go as far as saying adorable. They look good together. But if Alexa is tough and smart he'd better watch out." Danny said.

" 'They aren't adorable, they look good.' " She mimicked Danny. "Men, no emotion." She muttered as Danny laughed.

"We leave that up to you my darling." He told her kissing her forehead.
