"I like this place and willingly could waste my time in it" -Shakespeare

When she came into the lab, she felt a rush of memories crashing around like waves in her head.

"I missed this place," she murmured under her breath. As she strolled through, many of her coworkers rushed up to her to welcome her back. As she walked through the corridors, she looked through the window and into a lab. There she saw Adam completely surrounded by evidence bags. She went into the lab to greet him.

"Adam!" she said, standing next to Adam, who looked horribly stressed.

He turned around, and started when he saw her. "Lin…Lindsay? You're here!" he exclaimed, hugging her. "How are you?"

"I'm good. You?" she responded, looking at all the evidence bags surrounding him.

"I'm up to my eyes with work, as you can see," he said exasperated, looking at all the evidence he now had to process. "I didn't think we'd see you here for another few days. Do you miss work?" he asked.

"Yes I do. I can't wait to get back. That's one of the reasons I'm here, to speak to Mac about it."

"He's out in the field. He'll be back soon though," he said, lifting a piece of evidence from one of the bags.

"I'll let you get back to that. See you later Adam," she said, before waving as she left the lab.

"Bye Lindsay," said Adam, before turning back to his mountains of evidence with a sigh.

She went to sit in what was once Danny and Lindsay's shared office. She took a seat on the swivel chair. She noticed a picture sitting by some paperwork. She lifted it up and smiled. It was one of her and Danny in central park. They were laughing in the summer sunshine, Danny's arm around her waist. She set it back on the desk and began to wait for him to come back.

Danny entered the lab, fresh from the crime scene. In his arms were even more evidence that he had collected. He first made a stop at his office, to collect his lab coat.

"Montana?" he said, seeing a woman sitting in his chair, spinning around on it slowly.

"Whoa! You scared me!" she said startled, jumping from the chair.

"You looked kinda bored Montana. How long were you waiting for me?" he chuckled, setting the bags down.

"For ages!" she wailed. "I was so bored!" Danny looked down on his desk to see that his post it notes had been doodled all over. He saw a trio of notes that had the phrase, "I'm bored" written all over them. He picked up one of them and laughed. "Very original. Very high school," he snickered.

She snatched the post it note and stuck her tongue out at him playfully. "My shift is nearly over. How about we go for a movie or something?" he said hopefully.

"Okay. But I pick the movie!" she said, with a teasing glint in her eyes.

"Sure," he said, already knowing what sort of movie she was going to pick. "But please not Sex and the City," he begged. "Anything but that!"

"That's not what I had in mind anyway. So when you get a spare minute will you talk to-"

"Already done. Mac says you can start Friday if that suits you," he assured her.

"That's great! Tell him thanks." She sat again, and her forehead folded into a frown.

"What's wrong Montana?" asked Danny kneeling beside her.

"I still don't have somewhere to live. It's not fair on Don, he doesn't have a spare room."

"Why don't you ask Stell, I think she'd be happy to have you stay," he replied. Just as he spoke those words, Stella and Hawkes walked by the office. Stella heard the mention of her name, and stopped outside the office door.

"Hi guys," she said, popping her head inside the office.

"Hey," Danny and Lindsay replied in unison.

"You feeling any better?" Danny inquired.

"Much better," she nodded, smiling.

"We aren't interrupting something?" Hawkes joined Stella in the office.

"No, we're just talking. You guys going to help me process?" asked Danny, pointing to all of the evidence.

"Yes, we were just looking for you. I'll meet you in the lab." Hawkes gave them a friendly nod before leaving the office and heading for the lab.

"Yeah, I should go and help him now. I'll see you later Montana?" he said, lifting the evidence bags.

"Pick me up around half eight. Oh, and can you give this to Don? she said. Danny extended his hand and she placed the key in his palm. "Thanks Dan. See you later," she said, beaming. He grinned and winked, and Lindsay immediately felt the familiar melting sensation.

"Are you guys going on a date?" asked Stella excitedly.

Lindsay blushed slightly. "Yeah."

"That's great! I knew you two could work it out," she beamed happily. Stella had known that they belonged together, she saw how well they fitted together. They had been through a lot of hardship, and they deserved some happiness. "I couldn't help but overhear your conversation. Danny was definitely right about what he said. I'd love to have you stay. You know I'm here for you kiddo," she said.

"Thank you so much Stell." They hugged. Lindsay had been scared that Stella was mad at her for leaving, just like Danny had been. But now she was sure that Stella wasn't, and she knew she was silly for thinking so. "I'm looking for an apartment at the minute, and as soon as I get one, I'll be out of your way," she assured her friend.

"My shift is over in around…" she referred to her watch, "… Ten minutes. If you wait for a bit, we can go back to my apartment and get you ready for your big date!"

Lindsay laughed at how happy and excited Stella was for her.

"That sounds great. But can I come into the lab? I'm bored out of my brain waiting here," she asked.

"Of course," Stella said, as they left for the lab together, discussing Danny and Lindsay's plans for the night.

R&R?
