"Hey, Mac." Mac looks up from the paperwork in front of him and sees Vanessa. "I didn't get much from the witness. All she remembers is a tattoo of a snake and a rose. The thing that bothers me is that she might know who it was and is not telling for some reason."
"Did she give you any indication of that?"
"She said she was scared." Vanessa replies.
"That doesn't necessarily mean she knew the attacker."
"Her words don't but the way she said them does."
"How is the rest of the evidence going?" Mac asks getting back to the paperwork.
"Suddenly I feel like I'm working this case alone." Her words cause Mac to look up at her.
"I have every confidence that you can work this case alone …while I finish this up." Mac says points to the paperwork.
"Do I get brownie points if I close this case before you get to finish?" Vanessa smiles and exits the room.
The sky was free of clouds. The air was just getting colder when Vanessa stepped out onto the streets of New York. She had remembered to bring her coat so the air didn't bother her much. She walked through the mass of people walking down the sidewalk for a couple of feet before she stopped and scanned the nearby buildings looking for her destination. It did not take long for her to find what she was looking for.
Vanessa crosses the street and stops in front of a building. She opens the door and walks in.
"Let me go out on a limb and say you've been watching spy movies all day." Vanessa asks the figure in a brown overcoat and brown hat with sunglasses covering the person's eyes.

"Hey, you up for dinner later…with me?" Danny asks Lindsay all of a sudden. They were in their shared offices sitting at their respective desks. Lindsay looks up from her paperwork with a shocked and confused look mixed together.
"Yeah I could go for a sandwich at the deli around the corner." Lindsay says trying to sound as casually as possible. She looks down at her papers all part of her effort to seem nonchalant about the whole thing.
"That's not what I meant," Danny says looking at her from across the room, waiting for her to look up at him.
"Then what did you mean?" Lindsay asks curiously, already knowing where the conversation was going. 'Its all about appearances. Don't seem to eager.' She thought remembering what she read from one of Lexie's magazines. (A/N: Vanessa's daughter)
"Going to a restaurant …like on a date."
"Date?" Lindsay asks nervously.
"Yeah you know what those are right?" Danny sees the nervous look on her face. "Look forget I asked. You don't have to answer."
"No! Yes."
"Huh? Is that a yes or a no?" Danny asks.
"It's a yes. I would like to..."
"I think I hear a 'but' somewhere in there."
"But I'll have to meet you there. I need to get these papers to Mac today."
"That's fine. I'll meet you there." Danny gets up from his seat and casually walks to the door.
"Uh Danny?" Lindsay's voice stops him from leaving the room.
"Yeah?" Danny asks.
"Would you mind telling me where we are going to meet or am I supposed to read your mind?" Lindsay asks with a smile on her face.
"Oh right." Danny grabs a piece of paper from Lindsay's desks and writes something down on it. When he finishes he slides the paper over to her and says, "Meet me there when you finish."
"Ok." Lindsay waits for him to leave before taking a look at the paper.
That's all for now! I'll update soon. It's a little short I know. Sorry about that. I'm posting from another computer and this is all had saved. The other chapters will be longer. And that conversation between Danny and Lindsay at the end is what I figured took place between the 'Not What It Looks Like' Episode and the 'Love Run Cold' episode. Tell me what you think. Please Review. Until Then, Ancient 85.
