Lindsay had gone over to Jason's because he said he wanted to spend time with her. When she got there he was working on something and completely ignored her. After several hours of being ignored and having nothing to do at his house, Lindsay walked over to Jason's office door. "You wanted me to come over but you don't even want to be around me" Lindsay said exasperatedly. "I'm leaving. If you decide to acknowledge me I'll be with Stella" She went into the living room and put her shoes on.
"You aren't leaving!" Jason yelled from his office. "Why should I stay? It's like you don't even want to be around me anyway!" Lindsay called back. Jason came storming into the living room "Why do you think you can talk to me that way?" He demanded. "Excuse me?" She asked incredulously. "You heard me" he growled. "Why do you think you can talk to me the way you do? And treat me the way you do? I am not property!" Lindsay yelled.
Jason laughed and grabbed her arm roughly "You are mine" Lindsay tried to pull her arm back and he tightened his grip and pulled towards himself slightly causing her to lose her balance and tumble roughly into a chair, catching the hard back across her stomach, causing her eyes to water and her breath to be knocked out of her. Once she regained her breath and balance she grabbed her bag and left, calling Stella on her way down the stairs.
A few days later Lindsay wore a t-shirt to the lab, not realizing she was bruised until later. Everyone immediately noticed the purple hand print on her arm but no one said anything until she stretched and the front of her shirt rose enough for Adam and Hawkes, who were in trace with her, to see the ugly purple bruise across her stomach. They didn't say anything to her, instead they went to Mac.
Mac didn't even acknowledge them as they came in. "Yes" He asked. "We need to talk" Hawkes said as Adam closed the office door. Mac looked up from his file to see the worried and determined looks on their faces. He looked over out the glass at the same time they heard Don call out to Lindsay.
"Lindsay!" Flack called and reached out to touch her and she visibly flinched away from the contact. Don looked shocked and Lindsay turned bright red. "Whoa Monroe! Ya alright? Sorry I spooked ya" Flack tried to cover his shock. Lindsay shook her head "I just zoned out for a minute" She lied and they both knew it. "What's up?" She asked, hoping he wouldn't press it.
"I was wondering if you got the results on that trace" Flack asked. She nodded and handed him a file. "Thanks" He said and walked away. He saw the guys in Mac's office and gave them a look like 'We need to fix this'.
"About that?" Mac asked as he turned to Adam and Hawkes. They both nodded. "We can't do anything unless she asks us. Sorry guys you know that's how it works"
