Chapter 4
Lindsay pulled up outside the clothes store where Anna worked.
"Will you be okay, Linds?" Anna asked anxiously.
"Of course!" replied Lindsay. "Reed asked me the exact same thing; I'll be fine! It's not like I'm going into the tiger cage or something, is it?"
Anna still looked worried.
"Just go! See if you can make another attempt at learning the value of a dollar."
Anna got out, but gave her sister a big hug before doing so. Lindsay was shocked; Anna wasn't usually one for showing how much she cared about her family. She ran into the store, waving goodbye to Lindsay.

Mac stepped out of the elevator, but was pushed back in by Danny.
"We got a DB at Central Park Zoo," he said, in his thick, Staten Island accent. "We're kind of low in numbers, though, the others are already on a case."
Mac prayed that he wouldn't say it.
"We could call that new CSI, whatever her name is."
Mac sighed. Praying never seemed to help much. He reluctantly pulled out his cellphone and hit speeddial 1. Lindsay answered on the first ring.
"Hey Dad!"
"Lindsay, it's Detective Taylor. We're a little short of people, and need you to meet us at Central Park Zoo, is that ok?"
Lindsay obviously realised that Mac was with someone, as she answered, "Of course, Detective. I'm on my way there." She hung up and Mac heaved a sigh of relief. That was close.
"So, her name's Lindsay? That's a nice name," commented Danny. Mac had a sudden mental image of Danny as his son in law, living in his apartment. He shook his head, determined never to think of that again.
