DISCLAIMER: I do not anything related to CSI: NY.

NOTE: Thanks for your reviews, guys! Here is the second chapter. Kind of predictable, eh? Anyway, I'm trying to finish this up in time for Christmas. Enjoy:)

"Aiden."

Danny blinked a couple of times. Then he stared at Flack. "Flack, I thought you said that you're over Aiden."

"I know but you can't just easily forget the girl that you've spent 3 years of your life with."

"So what are you gonna do about it?"

"I don't know."

Flack looked so sad that Danny felt sorry for him. Here Danny was; happy with Lindsay and Flack's still sad about Aiden. He wished that he could do something for Flack.

"Do you miss her?" Danny asked.

Flack looked at him, his face sad. "Every single day."

They were silent for a few seconds. "Hey, wanna go for a drink? I'll bring Lindsay. You know what they say; the more the merrier." Danny asked.

"Whatever and whoever will do."

AT THE BAR

"You know," said Flack. "Coming back here brings back memories."

"Why is that so?" asked Danny.

"This was where Aiden and I went for our first date."

"Aw, that's so sweet," said Lindsay. Danny had explained to her about the whole Flack-Aiden thing on the way to the bar.

Flack smiled and drank the last of his beer.

"How was she?" asked Lindsay. "You know; Aiden."

Flack sighed and for a moment he looked happy. "Oh, Aiden was the best girlfriend I ever had."

"Aiden was the only girlfriend he ever had," muttered Danny jokingly and got and his arm smacked by Lindsay.

"Ignore him," she said, eyeing Danny out of the corner of her eye.

"Anyway, Aiden and I were – as people put it – soul mates. It's like I say something and she understood perfectly what I meant and vice versa. Not only that, she was beautiful, kind, funny and smart. She was just perfect for me."

"What happened after she got fired?"

"We just lost contact and sort of drifted apart. I heard that she's busy with her new job. I try to move on with life but it's just hard."

Flack sighed and stared at his empty cup. Then he glanced at his watch. "I've got to go anyway. Thanks for bringing me here." He took out a couple of bills and put them on the table to pay for his beer. He got up, straightened his tie and walked out.

"Poor Flack," said Lindsay. "It must be hard for him to try to let go of Aiden."

"Yeah. I wish I could do something for him."

Danny looked around the bar. He saw Mac and Stella walking together outside the bar but he was too worried about Flack to bother and crash in on them. He drank his beer and suddenly spit it all out.

"Danny?" said Lindsay. "What's wrong?"

Danny looked at the girl a few feet away from him. The long, wavy brown hair and full lips… There's no denying who she was.

"Aiden."

"What?"

"Lindsay, it's Aiden."

"Where?"

"There, the girl with the green top and jeans."

Lindsay scanned the crowd and saw her. Without waiting, Danny rushed off towards Aiden. Lindsay followed him from behind. Once he reached her, he tapped her on the shoulder.

"Danny?" said Aiden, sounding very surprised. "What are you doing here?"

"I came down here for a drink. Then I saw you."

"Oh… you here with anyone?"

"This is Lindsay," he said, putting an arm around her. "She's new at the crime lab."

"I know I'm not working there anymore but welcome," said Aiden, shaking Lindsay's hand.

"Thanks," said Lindsay.

"We were here with Flack too, you know," said Danny.

"Oh…"

Aiden folded her arms and stared at the floor. She sat back down on her seat. Danny and Lindsay sat next to her.

"He misses you, you know," said Lindsay.

Tears were already running down Aiden's cheeks. "I miss him so much…"

"Then why did you just leave him like that?" asked Danny.

"Danny, I work in a bar as a – get this - waitress. Flack's a respectable NYPD detective. Our worlds are now different. So are our lives."

"But you still love him?"

"Yes, I still love him very much. I think about him everyday and every night before I go to sleep."

"Then there's only one thing we can do."

"And what's that?"

Danny looked at Lindsay and they both stood up. "It's time to pay Flack a visit; and you're coming along."

"I don't even know if I can face him."

"Nonsense. Flack's trying his damn best to move on and forget about you but he can't. You want to know why? That's because he loves you, Aiden. He loves you; he misses you. And you do too."

Aiden sighed. She looked up and smiled lightly. "You never change do you, Messer? Always the persuasive type."

"Oh, you have no idea," said Lindsay, smiling too. "So what'll it be, Aiden?"

Aiden thought about it for awhile. Then she stood up and called to one of the waitresses. "Tina, do you mind covering for me?"

"Sure, Aid," said Tina. "What's up?"

"I've got an old friend I wanna pay a visit to."

"Sure."

Aiden turned towards Danny and Lindsay. "Let's go," she told them, grabbing her jacket. Danny and Lindsay smiled as they too put on their jackets and got out into the snowy outside and into Danny's SUV.
