It was about 7 when Lindsay finished processing the evidence and put it away. She decided it was time to head home and get ready. She left the lab and went home, where she had a shower, picked out an outfit, did her hair and her make-up. As she was finishing her hair, she heard a knock at the door and realized it was 8:05. Lindsay walked over to the door and opened it to reveal Angell standing there in a mini black, leather dress with black stilettos.
"Hey, sorry I'm late, I miss calculated the drive a bit." Apologized Angell.
"No problem. I just finished getting ready myself." Explained Lindsay.
"So are you ready then?" Asked Angell.
"Ya, let's go." Replied Lindsay.
Lindsay grabbed her clutch and followed Angell out the door. When they got outside Lindsay noticed a taxi sitting out front of her place.
"We're taking a taxi?" Asked Lindsay.
"I thought if we took a taxi, we would be less likely to get into an accident once we left the club. Plus, you wouldn't really want to get pulled over, would you?" Joked Angell.
"Good point." Laughed Lindsay.
They got into the taxi and arrived at the club 15 minutes later. Angell pulled Lindsay to the front of the line and using her charm on the bouncer, got them in without waiting.
"Nice job." Complimented Lindsay.
"You have to use what you got to advance in life." Joked Angell. "Why do you think I wore this outfit anyways?"
"Good advice." Replied Lindsay, smiling.
They headed into the club, before it got any busier.
"What are you having to drink?" Asked Angell.
"I'll have a beer." Replied Lindsay.
"I'll get the drinks, you find us a table." Announced Angell.
Angell made her way to the bar while Lindsay pushed her way through the horde of people to get to a table. Once she sat down, a man with slick, black hair sat down beside her.
"Hey beautiful, can I get you a drink?" Offered the man.
"No thanks, I already have one coming." Spoke Lindsay
"Come on babe, let me buy you a drink, then we can get to know each other a little better." Spoke the man, as he started to rub Lindsay's thigh.
Angell was approaching the table when she saw the man groping Lindsay. She decided to have a little fun with the situation and made her way to the table.
"Hey!" Shouted Angell, giving Lindsay a wink. "What are you doing touching my girl?"
"Your girl?" Replied the man, confused.
"That's right. Now get your filthy hand off of her and get lost." Announced Angell.
The man looked at Angell and then at Lindsay.
"If I don't, what are you going to do?" Asked the man, smugly.
"To start with I can arrest you for assaulting an officer." Declared Angell.
"Nice try." Chuckled the man. "Your not a cop."
"Babe, show him how we handle thugs like him." Spoke Lindsay.
Angell pulled out her badge and handcuffs.
Without any hesitation, the man got up and left. Angell and Lindsay burst out laughing as soon as he was out of sight.
"Thanks." Spoke Lindsay.
"No problem, I could tell he wasn't your type." Laughed Angell.
As the night went on Lindsay kept drinking and Angell kept asking questions.
"So what do you do in your spare time?" Asked Angell.
"Well, to be honest, I love the opera. I go there all the time." Replied Lindsay, as she took another shot.
"What's up between you and Det. Messer?" Questioned Angell.
Lindsay put down her glass and started to giggle.
"I think he has a crush on me. He has already given me the nickname Montana and is constantly asking me out." Snickered Lindsay.
"Do you like him?" Asked Angell.
"Of course. He is so handsome and charming, but ever time he asks me out it's the same dinner at a buffet. I want a little romance and mystery, which I don't think he has." Answered Lindsay.
Angell sat there with a smile on her face, knowing she had this bet in the bag.
The night continued on as Lindsay and Angell consumed more and more alcohol. It was about 12:08am when they decided it was time to go home. Angell hailed a taxi and gave the driver Lindsay's address. They made there way to her place and Lindsay got out.
"This was fun, we have to do this again sometime." Declared Angell.
"Of co…urse, I'll see…eeee you tom…orrow at work." Stuttered Lindsay.
The taxi drove away as Lindsay fumbled to open the door. She got inside and passed out on her bed.
When morning came, Lindsay awoke with the biggest hangover she has ever had. She made herself a huge cup of coffee and watched the dew glisten in the morning sunlight before getting ready for work.
