Chapter 20:
Three weeks later, when Danny and Lindsay could finally have a day off at the same time and the crime was slowly decreasing in NY, they decided to move her stuff to their now-shared apartment, at least the ones that they could find a place for. Sheldon and Don came to give a hand, Don being reluctant, saying he hated to carry furniture up and down the stairs, and Shel doing it with joy, happy to entertain himself after the Shane Casey cases and his little visit to jail.
Danny and Don where carrying Lindsay's mattress from the panel truck that the couple had rented for the journey.
"Bro, what are you going to do with Lindsay's mattress?"
"Well, do you want me to draw you a picture?" Danny said with a smirk.
"Oh, no thanks; I consider Lindsay a sister, and I don't want to imagine you two doing the horizontal tango."
When Danny and Don arrived in the place, Lindsay and Sheldon were sleeping on the couch, Lindsay's head resting on Sheldon's hard and muscular chest.
"Wow, is it normal that we are working and that they are sleeping?"
"Lindsay had a rough night," Danny stated.
"Sure," smirked Flack.
"Man, if I didn't have a mattress in my hand, I would slap you."
"Why?"
"Lindsay had a rough night because she was at work, and she had a case that didn't make her really happy: a young women found raped and strangled."
Don stared, dumbstruck, and they brought the mattress into the spare room that Danny had never really used. At first, he had decided it was his office but, using a laptop, he didn't need this office.
When they had eventually put the mattress in the bed frame, they went back to the living room; Sheldon was awake and trying to get away from Lindsay's weight.
"Wait, Sheldon. I'm gonna carry her to bed. The case wore her out."
"Yeah, I saw that she was very out of her mind yesterday, almost snapping at me, but I can understand," he said.
Danny took Lindsay, and she mumbled something, wrapping her arms around his neck, her head cradling in the crook of his neck.
When Danny finally made it to the bed, Lindsay woke up and tightened her grip on Danny.
"Hey, baby. Sleep. I'm putting you in bed," he said, kissing her hair.
"No way are you guys moving all my stuff without me helping. I have to organize all the boxes with my clothes and my shoes." He put her on her feet, and he looked in her brown, chocolate eyes
"Alright, but then you will have to rest."
"Nope, then we will have sex in the living room, in your kitchen, in your bathroom, in your bedroom, in the spare room." Danny's eyes went wide while Lindsay enumerated all the places where they could actually make out.
"Wow, never thought you were so wild, and if you continue I will take you right here, right now," he said while she was kissing his earlobe.
"You won't, because there are our colleagues and friends just behind the door," she murmured in his ear, and Danny pushed her on the bed and climbed on. Lindsay was lying on her back, between his tight , He was towering above her and he bent over to kiss her. He kissed her, his tongue asking for entrance that she allowed. She placed her hands in his hair, making him lay on her. They deepened the kiss. When they finally broke apart to get their breath back, Lindsay looked up at his blue eyes.
"We can't," she said, placing her hand on his cheek. He raised his eyebrows.
"Keep your stamina for tonight, Cowboy," she said, rolling them over and leaving the room, straightening her clothes and looking over her shoulder to see Danny groaning
"What did I do to deserve a girlfriend this arousing?" he said, getting up slowly.
Lindsay entered the room, avoiding the quizzical gazes of her co-workers. She blushed slightly. She took a seat and watched as Danny re-entered the room, glancing at her with predatory eyes. He placed himself behind her, his hands around her waist; they waited for the pizza to be delivered. When the guy arrived, Danny went to the door, paid the guy and put the pizza box on the counter.
"Let's eat," said Lindsay, taking a slice of the tuna pizza.
"Wow, she is hungry," Hawkes said.
You don't know to what extent, Danny thought to himself.They ate in silence until Flack brought something into the discussion that he shouldn't have said.
"So, Shel, Lindsay, did you close your case?"
Lindsay stopped eating immediately, going pale. She jumped off her stool and ran into the bathroom to vomit. Danny jumped off his own stool and went after Lindsay, but Sheldon stopped him in his tracks, making him understand that he was going to take care of it.
Sheldon entered the bathroom, and sat beside Lindsay, who had her back against the bathtub. She was trying to catch her breath, tears running down her cheeks.
Sheldon placed a hand around her shoulders and hugged her, soothing her with soft words.
He had been there when Lindsay saw the horrible crime scene, he witnessed her reaction when she went so pale that she began to shake. He had been in shock, too. He thought he was going to vomit but he had stood his ground while Lindsay had almost fainted.
"Lindsay, you okay? You want to talk about it?"
"No, just hold me," she said, and Sheldon rocked her, her sobs easing slowly, Sheldon was worried about Lindsay, and made a mental note to check the box holding her medications.
While in the kitchen, Danny was talking to Don.
"Flack, sometimes you should shut up."
"Sorry, I couldn't know she was going to react this way. What's wrong with her?"
"Nothing is wrong with her!" Danny almost screamed. Then, he continued decreasing the level of his voice. "Her case was a woman found raped in a such a way that I'm not going to tell the details. They did find the guy; he is away for along time, but he doesn't have remorse at all. He told Lindsay that the victim deserved it, she even enjoyed it. Hawkes was sick too because of it.
The guy admitted that he killed her because she wasn't entertaining to him anymore, not trying to scream or to squirm away. So, he strangled her. The first thing Lindsay did when she went home was hugged me for a half an hour. Then she went in the bathroom and cried in the shower for two hours."
Flack had heard his friend's talk. "Sorry, I didn't know."
Danny just looked at him, forgiving him, and then went in the bathroom, finding Lindsay getting up with Sheldon's help. Danny took her in his arms and kissed the top of her head.
Then Lindsay, in a small voice, said, "Let's finish this moving thing."
They went to the car and brought Lindsay's things.
"How many boxes do you have of clothes and shoes?" Don asked, surprised and slightly worried.
"Nine, but you know that if you had to move Stella's things, nine boxes would actually be just for shoes."
"I'd rather not speak about it."
When they finished, they were so exhausted that Lindsay had fallen asleep in the center of the messed-up clothing that she had decided to organize in vain. The three guys were in the living room watching TV; some baseball game was going to be aired.
"Bro, I'm exhausted. I'm going home. I have to prepare myself for my date."
"Your date?" asked Flack and Danny in same time.
"Not exactly a date."
"Sure," Danny said, taking a sip of his beer.
"Whatever. Danny, take care of Lindsay. She really needs you, and these cases are really getting to her."
Danny nodded, giving a friendly hug to his friends. Don did the same.
"Have fun," Don said, winking at Shel.
TBC?
