Summary: What if Lindsay left Montana for a different reason to in the show? A big secret that even Mac doesnt know about. How will she react when somebody from her past come to visit and all the memories return?

Danny looked at Flack confused, who just shrugged, "Keep an eye on the crime scene and make sure nobody comes near Flack, im gonna go check on her"

"Okay man, but if she isnt well send her home, I aint catchin anything"

Danny just smiled and walked out the crime scene looking for Lindsay, she was behind the car being sick and once she stood up she grabbed a bottle of water out her bag, she looked really pale and it was only now that Danny saw how much weight she had lost in the month, surely that couldnt be healthy. He didnt believe it, he had been so wrapped up in being mad at her, he didnt realise how her health seemed to be suffering. Danny walked up behind her and put a hand of her shoulder.

"Montana if you dont feel well maybe you should go home and get some rest, maybe some food. You look like a bag of bones."

Lindsay turned and half smiled at him, it had seemed like forever since he used his famous nickname for her, "Im okay Danny really, just needed a bit of fresh air and will be good as new"

"You sure?"

"Yeah, im fine, how did you know she was pregnant?"

"The boyfriend mentioned it"

"So he's the dad?"

"I would assume so"

"Dont assume anything in a crime scene Messer, you not learnt that yet"

With that she smiled and made her way back over to the crime scene. Danny laughed and followed her over, that was the most he had seen her smile in weeks, and even that was only a half smile.

Two hours later Danny and Lindsay were stood with Sid, who was explaining cause of death.

"It seemed somebody didnt want this young lady pregnant. All the abuse seems to have been aimed at her stomach, Flack was right she was 13weeks pregnant."

"Anything under her fingernails Sid or something we can go on."

"Theres nothing" Lindsay spoke from beside him, "He thoroughly cleaned her, including under her fingernails right Sid?"

"Yes Lindsay, thats right, but how did you know?"

"We had a case or two exactly like this in Bozeman, about a year before I moved. Never found any clues and the witness couldnt remember a thing, but run DNA on the baby, im pretty sure her boyfriend wasnt the father"

"So she was playing away?" It was the first time Danny had spoken since Lindsay had.

"No, she was raped"

"How do you know for sure? If she was dead I mean?"

"The girl back in Bozeman, the first victim, she was dead. She survived but just barely, was on life support for almost a week though."

"Thats good then, we can get your friend Andrew to talk to her, you can ring him right?"

"He hasnt gone back yet"

"Then where is he?"

"He's been staying with me"

"Okay, well we can get somebody else to speak to the first victim again for us?"

"I've got to go to see Mac Danny, can you finish up here?"

"Sure, if everything okay?"

"It will be, thanks Sid"

With that she was gone. Danny made his way back to his office and almost bumped into Mac, "Hey Mac, you seen Lindsay? Need to talk to her"

"She's taken a few personal days Danny, im gonna assign Stella to work with you on this case okay?"

"Yeah, yeah sure, she okay?"

"Just wasnt feeling upto work at the moment, you know I cant discuss this with you Danny"

"Okay thanks, gotta go im gonna ring the Bozeman office"

"Why?"

"Because Lindsay mentioned the have an open case exactly the same as this, so gonna see what they gotta say"

"Okay, good luck Danny"

"Thanks Mac"

Lindsay walked into her apartment and heard the TV, which was good, she needed to talk to Andrew.

"Hey your back early, everything okay?"

"Yeah I took a few personal days, im gonna get out of town for a while, get some space, but you can still stay here?"

"Okay, do you want me to come with?"

"No im okay I just need some space, you thing your mate would let me stay at his cabin by the lake for a few days?"

"I would imagine so but I can ring him if you want?"

"Yeah please"

Lindsay walked into her bedroom and started packing, if she couldnt stay at the cabin she would just stop at a motel outside the city for a few days. She knew she should tell the lab her reasons for not wanting to work the case, but it wasnt something she wanted to admit, she didnt want them to look at her any different.
