They really didn't know each other well. She knows his best friend Danny which is great. (He thinks to himself) She is at least closer but at the same time his friend is a charming guy even if he is a CSI. Flack has always known this about his friend. He shouldn't complain even if he didn't have a girlfriend right now. He had his job, his parents, and his friends. So why did he want more.
Flack could see she was smart, cute, funny and able to hold Danny's attention as well as his. She could joke around but then get serious and right down to business. She was something new and different, a breath of fresh air.
She thought it was funny how she was attracted to such a tall man. She always told herself never date any tall men because they always thought she was some sort of cutesy doll or that she needed to be taken care of. She had tried once before in high school and sure enough after awhile he started treating her like she was a child. When she was in college she would get the pick up lines like "Ah, you're so cute. I just want to pick you up and take you home with me".
So Lindsay was surprised one day when she was in the lab trying to reach something on the top shelf of the cabinet when Flack walked in. But instead of getting it for her or picking her up so she could get it, he just stood by the door, leaning against it, watching her. When she started getting frustrated he didn't offer help but grabbed a chair for her to stand on. So that she could do it herself. That was the moment that had her hooked on him.
He hadn't worked many cases with her when it happened. A day that neither Flack nor Lindsay or the other CSI's would forget. A crazy guy thought he needed to show New York and America that they weren't ready for terrorists - that's why he had put a bomb in the building. Flack, Lindsay and Mac were sent to the building for a 419. As Flack walked with Lindsay to the building he noticed that she seem to look at the scene before her with a curious look. He found that interesting so he made a comment about it being a block party. It's a way for New Yorkers to get out of their buildings and be outside during the summer. Then he asked what they do in Montana? She came up with Wyoming. He laughed bringing a huge smile to his face.
When they found the security guard dead in the stairwell at the bottom of the stairs, Lindsay realize she needed to get some equipment from the car. Mac spotted blood on the stairs leading up to them. Once inside Mac saw a ladder knocked over. He righted it and went to see why the ceiling tile was removed. That's when he saw a duffel bag. He opened it to find a bomb. He climbed down the ladder told Flack then told him to pull the fire alarm. Mac called Lindsay to tell her to get people away from the building. They were busy getting the rest of the day traders out of the building but just when they were ready to run themselves, they see a guy with headphones on. They tell him to run. Lindsay had noticed that everyone seemed to be out of the building she was just waiting for Flack and Mac. Then it seemed to get deathly quiet and that's when it happened. The building blew up, throwing her about 100 feet.
