Chapter 2: Montana

The next day, Lindsay arrived in Montana. She was happy to be home, but she missed Danny terribly. Her mother was waiting for her as she entered the airport. Her mom ran up to her and they embraced. Lindsay wondered if she would ever bring Danny home to met her parents. She knew her mother would love him, but her father was another story. She wasn't sure what he would say about him. Anyway, it was a good thing he throw away his shotgun.

"Lindsay, we've missed you so much. So tell me about New York. Have you met a cute guy there, yet?"

"Mom," Lindsay laughed.

"You know you have, Linds. You wrote about him in your letters to me," said her older sister.

Lindsay turned around and gave her sister a big hug. They let go and followed their mother to the car. While their mother drove, Lindsay and her sister, Ann, got caught up with what everyone had been doing for the last year and a half. When they arrived home, Lindsay let a few tears fall. It was a 10 acre ranch with a median size ranch house where the property started. Standing outside was Max. Lindsay hated him. Max was her ex-boyfriend.

"Lindsay, you stay here."

"No, Mom. This is why I came back home. To get pass this."

Lindsay got out of the car and walked up to Max. He had this sinister smile on his face. He walked forward swinging his arms out, to pull Lindsay into an embrace, but she pushed him away, hard.

"I told you when I left, to stay away from me. It's over."

"Come on, Linds. Do you really want it to end?"

"Yes."

"I'm not going to let it end. I'll come back, you can't get rid of me. And this boyfriend of your's in New York. I think I'll pay him a visit one day. Tell him all about you, Monroe."

"Shut up!"

"You got a mouth on you, now. New York must have changed you. I wonder what else is different about you," he said with wondering eyes.

"Stay away from me!"

Max gave a sinister smile and walked away. Lindsay's mother and sister quickly walked up to her. She gently pushed them away and went straight to her old room. She barely looked around crushing on to her bed and sobbing. Lindsay needed to talk to someone, but she didn't want her family involved. She picked up her cell phone and pressed number one speed dial. She wanted for the ringing to stop and for someone to answer.

"Messer."

Lindsay wiped away her tears and tried to calm herself down.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Danny."

"Montana. What's wrong? Are ya all right? You don't sound fine."

"I saw my ex today. He………"

"Linds. Are you all right?"

"I'll be fine. I just needed to hear your voice. I'm sorry I called."

Lindsay was about to hang up, when she heard Danny's voice again. His voice was reassuring to her. He could say anything he wanted, but as long as she heard his voice, she knew everything would be fine.

"Montana, please don't hang up."

"I just want to talk."

"About?"

"Anything."

"Well, Stella and me were working on a case where a computer tech died from being hit in the head with his own computer by his wife. Mac and Hawkes are working on a case where their vic died in a house fire. I don't know anymore about their case."

"How are you, Danny?"

Danny paused for a while which made Lindsay worried. Lindsay stopped crying and sat up in her bed.

"Danny, what happened?"

"Nothing………"

"Stop lying, Messer. You paused."

"There was a little problem at a crime scene, couple weeks ago. The suspect had a gun, but please don't worry. I'm fine. If you don't believe me, you can ask Flack. He was there."

"As long as you say you're fine, but please be more careful."

"I will, Lindsay. Are you all right?"

"He just gave me a little scare. I miss you."

"I miss you, too."

Lindsay could hear Mac in the background yelling at Danny to get back to work. They said goodbye and hung up. Lindsay started to cry again. Danny made her feel a little better but she still wasn't sure she could get through it without him. But she wasn't going to ask him to travel to Montana just for her.
