He woke up the feeling of someone's hair tickling in his nose, and its smell of strawberries and vanilla. He opened his eyes and looked down at the sleeping beauty in his arms snuggled to his chest. He smoothed her hair behind her ear, and kissed her forehead. He usually didn't bring girls home when he didn't know them, so that they could stay as just a one night stand, and get no other expectations and he could just get away without any problems, but this girl was so different! She didn't look like a supermodel like his usual, but she was thin and had shapes, but she was so tiny! He felt so protective for her! And not a Barbie doll, but totally stunning! He chuckled for himself. How did he even know she wanted to start something with him? A total stranger she met on a festival, they danced, shared a lot of kisses, and ended in bed. Didn't say that it meant anything to her! But he prayed inside his head that she did.

"Penny for your thoughts?" a tired voice broke his prayers. He looked down into her big brown eyes that were glimmering in the sun that was peeking through the curtains.

"Nothin' in particular," he kissed her forehead once more, but she captured his lips forcefully, and that, that was a sign. A sign that she wanted what he wanted. Inside he was dancing, outside he was enjoying every second, every breath take she took in between their lips, and every millimeter his fingers could touch at her little frame.

Two days later he walked into the lab while whistling. "What'cha so happy 'bout Messer?" his buddy Flack entered the room after him.

"Nothin'" Danny smirked as an answer.

"Le'me guess, ya scored the other night?" Danny just gave him a cocky grin.

"You're one hell of a man, Danny Messer! Your mother would turn in her grave is she known that you change women just as often as your underwear," Flack stated, and Danny just chuckled lightly.

"Jealous, little?" Danny sat down on the lab chair.

"Nope, I get when I want to get somethin' Messer… I didn't think you would even show! Now that Aiden ain't here, and today that new girl is commin' and all," Flack changed the subject.

"My girlfriend," He laid extra weight on the word girlfriend, before continuing, "said it would just be childish to drop work for that simple dilemma… and I thought that now that the payment soon will be inn, I better work so I get what I want!" Flack just laughed.

"Three days have passed, and she already got you around her little finger! Man your deep in it!" Flack shut up once he saw Mac turn the corner and joining the two buddies.

"We got a tiger-case in the zoo today," Mac handed Danny a file.

"I thought tigers were for the animal control? And the zoo? Man! Haven't been there in god knows how long!" Danny joked, and Flack chuckled lightly.

"It's not the animal control's job, when it's a dead human body involved!" Mac said without a change of glare in his face.

"You'll come with me, and I'll tell the secretary to tell the newbie to come to the zoo once she is done with filling out papers here," With that he looked strict at Danny knowing his reaction.

"Why Mac!? Can't she work with Stell or something!? I still don't get how you could fire Aiden!" Danny felt the anger, which had been drowned with other feelings the last days, rise again in the pit of his stomach.

"We already had this discussion, and I won't comment anymore!" With that Mac walked off, and Danny raised his brows to Flack, but followed Mac to the parking.

She felt her heart beat faster and faster the closer she got to the tiger cage. She saw an older man sitting there, checking out a huge tiger's jaw.

"Detective Taylor?" She felt her palms starting to sweat.

He only looked up quickly and answered with a yeah.

"Lindsay Monroe!" She bit her lips not to sound too overexcited.

"My new investigator from Bozeman!" Mac smiled lightly.

"Your office said you wanted me to come down as soon as I arrived?" She felt unsureness come above her excitement and anxiety.

"Glove up!" he nodded towards her investigator-bag.

"Now?" she asked confirming. "Are you here to watch or work?" already then he seemed scary! And he sounded annoyed. Not a good start… She felt her pulse rise again.

"You want me to start processing?" She got gloves and stuff up from her bag.

"Well Danny's got that covered," Mac looked back down.

"That'd be me, Danny Messer, How ya' doin'?" She heard his voice in the back, and turned slightly. Seeing his face trying to keep in laughter, she smiled and said hi. How could this have happened!?

"I need you to hold the tiger's jaw, so I can take the needle compression,"

Danny leaned in close as she got ready to join detective Mac in the cage. "Just take a deep breath, don't let him know you're afraid, 'cause he's gonna sense when you're nervous,"
"Tiger's tranquilized, think I can handle it,"

"Talkin' 'bout Mac, and make sure you call him Sir," And before she had time to turn around and take one last look, he had already started to walk away.

She paced around the lab, trying to find what she needed to process the piece of evidence she had.

"Can I help?" Danny looked up at her.

"No thank you, you helped enough already this morning," she smiled sarcastically.

He just murmured an Okay, and rolled his eyes lightly by her stubbornness.

She found what she needed, and they went back to processing. But now and then they caught each other steal glances from each other.

Once done, Lindsay got herself some coffee, where she bumped into Stella Bonasera, and she got back into business and walked into Mac where he stood with and apron on. She told him about the blood she had found, and looked a little skeptic around at the tools lying on the metal table when he told her to grab one of the aprons as well.

"I've heard about these re-constructions! I've never done one before," She smiled ecstatically.

"What's a better way to start your first day on the job?" He didn't look at her, just fixed on the pig that hung under a blue layer, from the roof.

"Well the tiger was pretty good," She joked. After well 30 minutes, Mac stopped after stabbing the hundred weapons into the poor pig.

"Well, I'm done eating bacon for life!" She said, just as Mac looked at the stabbing he just had done.

Danny looked at the brunette beauty for ten seconds, before he went in. "So eh, only the victim's DNA was on the tape around his wrist, but the shoes are a different story. The flesh that Montana found," He pointed at her while sending her a wink, "Wasn't human, and eh, the blood wasn't either. It was bovine, pig and lamb."

"And I have the murder weapon!" Mac said while pulling out a meat hook.

They decided to go check the meatpacking plant. But first Lindsay walks down into the locker room. It had been a weird day. First she had found out that she worked with Danny Messer, her boyfriend! Then she had made a total foul out of herself in front of their boss, and now she had to act as if she hadn't been messing around with Danny? He didn't exactly make things easier with his teasing, and flirting! She leaned over the sink and splashed some water in her face to cool down.

She jumped when she felt two strong hands grab her by the hips, and turned right into the grip of Danny Messer. "Idiot! You gave me a fright!" She complained.

"I'm sorry, let me make it up to you," he leaned over and kissed her lightly, but she pulled away, and got out of his hands before he could get any further.

"I really am sorry, alright?" he didn't really get how she could get that mad after just scaring her a little, "It's not that! But why didn't you tell me that we were gonna work at the same place!?" she complained and threw her hands in the air.

"Well I didn't exactly know, now did I!? It's not like you told me you were gonna start working here, either!" she couldn't deny that, "But why did you have to call me Montana right in front of Mac, then!?" she felt for letting her frustration our.

"I'm sorry babe, but don't worry! People here know I joke a lot!" he assured her,
"How about today at the crime scene then? When you made me a completely foul in the cage!?" he chuckled lightly, remembering that morning.

"I'm sorry, okay!? I do joke and mess around! You know how I am!" he apologized with his cocky little, hot grin, that Lindsay had fallen in love with over the few days they had been going a little out.

"But how can we be together, and work together?" Those weren't to argument, but because she wanted neither her job nor relationship go in the toilet at once.

"Lindsay! I like you, a lot! This is a feeling I never have had before! I know we can do this! I will fight for us to manage around work and us at the same time! I really do want this to work! You ain't just a girl Linds! You are special to me! I need you! We can manage to balance this! No one even have to know!" Danny held her shoulders, looking into her brown eyes, feeling lost like in a labyrinth.

"Are you sure we will?" she sounded skeptic, but she wanted to believe, she really did!

"Yes we will! Because we are like M&M's! We can't be separated!" She laughed at his statement.

"You get that? You won't get rid of me that easily!" he kissed her again, but this time she didn't pull back, but let him lead her into eternity, feeling her heart beat raising in her chest, heat fill her cheeks, and felt disappointed as he pulled away.

"How about we go out tonight and do something nice?" he touched her nose with his, and she nodded her agreement as they walked out of the locker-room, ready to inspect the meatpacking plant!
