A/N: ENGLAND MAY HAVE LOST :( and be out of the world cup but i thought I'd post this anyway.
When Danny was done for the day, he and the other guys left to pick up Ben from Lindsay's apartment.
Lindsay on the other hand finally got back and headed to the morgue and hour later.
"This body does not belong to this head or vice versa." Marty told her.
"So there are two decapitated people floating around New York?" Lindsay asked.
"It looks that way."
Lindsay's cell phone rang.
"Monroe." She answered. "Where?... I'll be there… We're also looking for another head… Okay bye."
She sighed.
"Problem?" Marty asked.
"No, we might have found you the right body. A report of decapitated body was found in the West Village. See if you can identify either of them before I get back."

"Lindsay." One of the detectives who had been working on the earlier case greeted her as she ducked under the tape.
"What have we got?"
"Which body do you want to start with?" He asked.
"I was only told of one." Lindsay stated.
"Since I called you we've had a lot more calls come in." He looked at his notebook. "In addition to the head in China Town this morning, the body in Harlem this afternoon, this body now, we have reports of a heads with no bodies in Battery Park, Murry Hill, Washington Heights and Soho. We also have bodies with no heads in Tribeca and Morningside Hill."
"We're missing a body somewhere." Lindsay stated.
"We're waiting for a call to come in."
"I need to call Mac; I can't handle all these scenes by myself." Lindsay sat down her kit and pulled her cell phone of her belt and dialled his number.
"Taylor."
"Mac, it's Lindsay, I have a problem."
"What kind of problem?"
"I have bodiless heads and headless bodies turning up all over Manhattan. If the scenes are anything like the two I've processed and the scene I'm at now, they are near empty trashcans in deserted alleys which are now the cleanest alleys in the city as I haven't found one piece of evidence so far other than the body or head." When Lindsay had followed the trail to where the dog brought found the head it went to a clean alley.
"Tell me where the other body parts are turning up."
Lindsay looked at the map the Detective was marking the calls on and gave Mac the addresses.
"I'll call Danny and Hawkes to go to a few of them."
"I doubt you'll be able to reach them." Lindsay told him.
"Why not?"
"They went with Flack and my father to a Yankees game. If they have their cell phones I doubt they'll hear them."
"I'll try anyway. Process the scene if you don't find anything move on to another and send the body to the morgue. Maybe we can match some of these people up with their heads."
"Okay." Lindsay replied. "I think it's going to be a long night."

It was eleven pm before Mac managed to get hold of Danny and Hawkes and get them to come and help out. Fourteen bodies and fourteen heads in total had been found in the 28 areas of Manhattan. Each scene had to be processed.
Mac called in some help, but so far they hadn't found any evidence other than the bodies in clean alleys next to empty spotless trashcans.
The medical examiners were having fun matching heads to bodies as they came in but having to wait for DNA confirmation that they matched.
There were detectives canvassing the areas looking anyone who had noticed anyone cleaning the alleys or dumping the bodies or heads.
Having processed 7 scenes in less than 24 hours, Lindsay was exhausted by the time she finally made it back to the lab.
Lindsay poured herself some coffee and rubbed her neck.
"Long day?" Adam asked.
"You have no idea." Lindsay replied.
"Fourteen heads and fourteen bodies to match them too. I was supposed to have left hours ago but I thought I'd stick around and help out."
"Okay maybe you do. How's it going?"
"We're matching blood types to start; it's going to be a while before we have all the DNA profiles to match them."
"Why would someone cut of the heads of fourteen people and dumped them in clean alleys next to empty trashcans?" Lindsay asked.
"That's for you to figure out, I'll stick to DNA." Adam told her. "The fingerprint lab is working on the prints to try and identify the bodies."
"Good." Lindsay yawned. "Sorry."
