AN Alright ladies and gents (if there are any gents reading this) This is gonna be my last chapter for a bit…I need to refuel the inspiration…so the story is not over it's just on hiatus for a moment whilst I recoup. I'll see about getting one shots out if I can, but I don't wanna drain all the life out of this plot bunny ya know? I hope it at least placates ya'll. ;)

Disclaimer I unfortunately do not own Danny or Flack, if I did believe me I'd have to sensor the stuff I'd be writing. Since they belong to CBS you'll have to make due with what I've written. Mandy is mine, you can't have her, the other characters belong to Anthony Zuiker, I'm just borrowing them and will return them when I'm done.

Flack got home a couple of hours later and called Mandy, "Hey there June how did your end go with the Beave?"

"Well Ward," Mandy laughed, "I think he's startin' to come around, slowly but surely. How about you?"

"She's quite determined," Flack said, "She just took it all in."

"I guess we just sit back and wait then don't we Mr. Cleaver." Mandy observed.

Flack yawned, "Yeah I guess we do Mrs. Cleaver." His cell phone rang so he check the number, "I gotta go, it's the precinct."

"All right go fight crime I'll talk to you tomorrow."

"Bye." He hung up and answered his cell, "Flack…I'll be right there."

There was a huge building fire that night. The CSI's worked a full week with overtime hardly having a moment to rest. They were coming closer to the end of their investigation but it was still busy.

On what was to be the last day of working that case Lindsay yawned and made her way to the elevator to go home. She was at the end of a double; there were hardly any people in the lab as it was 2am. She pushed the button for the lobby when an arm came out of nowhere to stop the doors from closing.

"Danny!" She put her hand to her chest, "You scared me," although she had been anticipating this.

"Sorry," He said then abruptly as the doors closed he turned to her, "Do you really wanna know me?" He asked.

Instead of outwardly smiling at him she looked as though she hadn't been expecting him to do this, that the way he was looking at her over the past week hadn't affected her at all, "Yes, I really do."

"Cause there's a lot," He said as he shoved his hands in his pockets and shifted from one foot to the other, "I'm not exactly an open book."

"Ya think?" She smirked at him, come on Danny do it she mentally coached him.

Thinking quickly he slammed the emergency stop button and walked over to her, "I was close to being in a gang, did most of the initiation but couldn't go through with it, they almost killed me." His arms went on either side of her boxing her in, he was waiting for her to react but she just looked at him, "My father is so high up in the mob even if he wanted to leave he'd be the next to find Hoffa and that would be to join him. So needless to say I'm not exactly looked upon fondly by my family, in fact I'm somewhat of a disgrace."

She watched him then rested her arms on his forearms and her hands on his biceps, "You're not a disgrace."

He shook his head trying not to let the subtleness of her touch affect him, "Wait I'm not finished. The gang I was almost in is under scrutiny by the lab and they named me. Mac doesn't know about my affiliation so that was the first he heard of it. I still can't bring myself to talk to him about it. A few months ago I may have shot an undercover cop, I didn't mean to but that's not relevant, IAB doesn't care about that."

"IAB are asses about everything Danny they don't have time to be personal." She said rubbing his arms gently never breaking eye contact with him.

"Lindsay you aren't listening to me. I soil everything I touch; you don't want to be with me. I can't…"

She stopped him with a finger to his lips, "Don't tell me what I want." She said strongly.

He wanted desperately to kiss her but he was still slightly startled that he was actually having this conversation, "I haven't even started to explain Cindy and whatever you may have heard about my other, uh, relationships."

She put her arms around his neck pulling him closer to her, "Danny I have been quite assured that Cindy is not a problem so again, stop telling me what I want. Ask first."

He was curious about this, had she been asking around about him? Why wasn't she recoiling from him? Finally he asked, "What do you want?"

"You," She said against his mouth and put her leg up around him.

He laughed, "What? Here? Now?"

She nodded, "I've taken a vow to stop being boring as hell."

"I like this vow idea, a lot." He kissed along her jaw and into her neckline, they could talk later."But uh aren't we being watched?" He pointed at the security camera.

"Well someone, I'm not gonna say who, might have disconnected the feed to that camera, so we're safe." She started pulling at his belt.

He raised an eyebrow at her, "You're kidding me."

"I told you that you don't give me enough credit Messer," She smiled boldly at him letting her fingers go underneath his shirt she traced his skin slowly, "Now if you'd rather go back to an apartment to find a bed than that's just fine by…"

He stopped her by crashing his lips down onto hers, "Since you went to all that work," He said against her skin as he kissed around her ear and the nape of her neck. He undid her jeans and positioned her against the back of the elevator wall, "We wouldn't want to waste it."

She groaned and anchored herself around him with one leg, her arms around his neck fingers clinging to his back, "No" She breathed, "wouldn't. want. to…oh gawd."

Trevor the lab's night security guard greeted Lindsay as she came out of the elevator, "Finally time to go home Lindsay?" He asked

She smiled at him, "Yes, it's been a productive day."

He noticed her flushed cheeks, "Are you okay? You look warm."

"Oh I'm just fine Trevor," She said with a grin as Danny emerged from the stairwell.

"Night Trev," He waved then exited the building with a wink at Lindsay.

Trevor waved and then smiled at her, "Have a good one Lindsay."

"You too." She said before walking out into the crisp night air.

"Hey you," He said into her ear as she rounded the corner into the parking compound. "I rehooked the security feed, they won't miss much time."

"Brilliant," She looped an arm around his waist, "You know, we still have to talk."

He nodded and wrapped his arm lightly around her neck, "Your place or mine?"

Looking up at him her eyes widened, "Your place is an option?"

"It is now." He smiled at her, he was slowly realizing that Mandy was right, he was scared. So why did that thrill him?

"So you don't know how it happened?" Mac asked.

The day security guard, Kevin, shook his head, "I have no idea sir, it was working fine when I left yesterday."

Mac furrowed his brow, "And it's fine again, there's just a block of time missing?"

"Yup, like it was unplugged for a bit." Kevin shrugged, "It's kind of a mystery."

Stella was coming in at that moment and Mac knew by the look on her face that she had some information. He waved Kevin away, "Someone on the cleaning crew could easily have accidentally pulled it out."

"Yeah," Kevin nodded, "You're probably right, thanks Mac."

"No problem," Mac fell into step with Stella, "So what news from the underground."

"Apparently this fire has been planned for months…" She said as the elevator doors closed on them.

AN Like I said there will be more…but it might take till a new episode to give me something to work with, I don't know. I don't wanna give this story anything but fantastic inspiration. So reread the whole thing if you miss it. lol
