Hey everyone! After I look at how I wrote this chapter, it seems like the end. I guess that this only lived to be a three-shot. I had fun with this. Thanks to Ducky'sgirl4ever, ashleyharper, and loveintrainwrecks for being so great and making this story a favorite! Thanks to BollyKnickers, CSIhannah, Flynn, TruLuv, kerber1920, lily moonlight, and madhatterette for putting this on alert! But most of all, thanks to loveintrainwrecks, GRACE5, Catty, Ducky'sgirl4ever, lily moonlight, BollyKnickers, and for reviewing! I find reviews more appealing than favorites and alerts for some reason. XD

I'd also like to give a special thanks to lily moonlight for encouraging me to continue this story. I explored new concepts of writing that I made come alive in this story that I never thought I could've accomplished. Thanks for the encouragement!

Hope you enjoy this one guys!

Lindsay Monroe walked around the familiar hallways of the New York Crime Lab. They held so many memories.

I miss you

Miss you so bad

I don't forget you

Oh it's so sad

As the female detective passed by her office, she saw the picture on her desk through the clear glass doors. It was a picture of Danny and her at the Broadway production Les Misérables. He wasn't into that kind of stuff, but when he found out from Stella that she had always wanted to see that, he bought two first-row orchestra tickets for them. He even ended up liking the show. Of course, he made her promise not to tell anyone about his like of the musical, but Lindsay thought that it was one of the sweetest things anyone had ever done.

The brunette smiled sadly at that memory. It were memories like that that made her miss him even more. God, she missed him. It was extremely different without him. But she'd never forget him. She would never forget him.

I hope you can hear me

I remember it clearly

Lindsay wished he could hear her. She wished that she could talk with him again. But… she couldn't. All because of that day when he just HAD to switch shifts with her.

The day

You slipped away

Was the day

I found it won't be the same

Oh

He had said, "Enjoy your snow day." The female detective did have plans to enjoy the day, but then she heard about the so-called gas leak. The day just went downhill from there.

After the doctor told her that Danny was gone, she knew from that moment on that her life would change. She'd never get to hear his (sometimes) corny jokes at work anymore, she'd never see him. He was gone.

Na na

Na na na

Na na

Lindsay turned around and walked into her office.

"Hey Lindsay, I got the results from…" Adam poked his head out of the Trace lab and started to talk to her, but stopped when he realized that she wasn't paying attention. She was going straight into her office.

I didn't get around to kiss you

Goodbye on the hand

I wish that I could see you again

I know that I can't

Ohh

She sat in her chair and scanned the room. She'd put many pictures up from various occasions around her office. There was a picture of the whole team—plus Adam, Sid, and Angell—at a precinct barbecue at Riverside Park.

The picture was a treasure to her. Everybody had gathered around Sid at the grill. The medical examiner was flipping a patty with one hand; the other was raised in a salute of sorts. Mac and Stella stood near each other, smiles on each CSI's faces. Adam stood next to Flack and Angell, his hands stretching over Flack's head to form a bunny ears position over his head. The tall detective was oblivious to this. He just put on a grin for the camera. Hawkes noticed the whole thing and stood with a smirk on his face. And Danny and Lindsay stood next to each other, Danny's arm around Lindsay's waist.

I hope you can hear me

Cuz I remember it clearly

They all looked so happy. Tears started to fall from her eyes. She wiped them away almost brusquely. It seemed that ever since Danny's death she could do nothing but cry.

The day you slipped away

Was the day

I found it wont be the same

Ohhh

However, Lindsay couldn't help it. The tears just chose to fall at random intervals of the day.

I've had my wake up

Won't you wake up

I keep askin' why

They fell because she wanted him back. The former Bozeman CSI kept on wishing, praying, that it was just a dream. Sometimes she pinched herself to see if she was living in a fantasy.

And I can't take it

It wasn't fake, it

Happened, you passed by.

Unfortunately, that was impossible. It couldn't have been a dream. Death was not a dream. It was a real but tragic thing that happened to many people each day. Sadly, Danny was one of them.

Now you're gone (Now you're gone)

There you go (There you go)

Somewhere I can't bring you back

He was gone. She had to force herself to accept that harsh reality. Lindsay had to make herself come to the conclusion that he didn't go someplace that she could find him. He went somewhere nobody could go unless they were sucked into the melancholy tragedy that had happened to Danny. Death.

Now you're gone (Now you're gone)

There you go (There you go)

Somewhere you're not coming back

He wasn't coming back. Lindsay just had to plant a grin on her face and bear with it. She'd been through worse. She'd gotten through the Montana crisis, and that was almost as bad as this. Almost.

The day you slipped away

Was the day I found

It won't be the same

No

Of course, life would never be the same without Danny. But she could make something out of this… new reality that she was living in. Something good would happen. She could feel it.

The day you slipped away

Was the day

I found it wont be the same

Ohh

Lindsay walked out of her office and in the direction of the Trace lab. Today would be her first day of starting anew. Danny would never be effaced from her memory, but she couldn't keep on living her life mourning. She would live her life for him.

Na na

Na na na

Na na

She walked into the Trace lab and started to speak to Adam. "Hey Adam, what've we got?"

"The Trace that we found inside the bag consisted of…" The lab tech started to list the substances found in the bag. Lindsay smiled as he was speaking. For you, Danny.

For you.

I miss you

Wow. I can't believe it's over. Somehow it seems angstier at the end than it does in the beginning. Regardless, I hope you liked it! I'd love to hear your thoughts on the last one and on the story in general!

(:
