DISCLAIMER: I own nothing...not even DANNY MESSER

Days have gone by with no incidents. Martino was laying low. Everyone was getting antsy especially Lindsay.

Lindsay: "Why hasn't he made a move? I want to go home."

Danny just looked at her. "Lindsay I know you want to go home but its not safe there. Just give it some time. It's only been a few days. Flack and Hawkes are following up on a few leads. We have to be patient."

Mac and Stella came in and they could see the frustration and exhaustion in Lindsay.

Mac: "Lindsey why don't you take the rest of the day off and relax."

Stella: "Yeah Lindsay go back to my place and get some rest. This will be over soon."

Lindsay: "I hope so."

Flack: Hey Linds. come on I'm going to take you back to Stella's place. Mac asked me to take you. I will just check things out
and you can have the rest of the day to yourself."

Lindsay: "Don - I will be fine you don't have to do that."

Flack: "Mac orders."

Lindsay: "Alright."

On the drive back to Stella's she was very quite. Flack could tell that she was really tired. So he just left her alone. When they
arrived he checked things out and everything was fine so he went back to work and she took a shower and climbed into bed.

She didn't know how long she had been asleep. Voices in the living room had woken her up. She laid there with her eyes closed for a few minutes. She heard the door creek open and opened her eyes and found Danny looking at her.

Danny: "Hey! You've been asleep for hours. How are you feeling?"

Lindsay just looked at him and asked "What time is it?

Danny: "It's eight o'clock.

Lindsay: "What? I must have really needed that."

Danny: "Yeah. I've been here since about four. I know you needed it. Feeling any better?"

Lindsay: "Actually I am."

Danny walked over leaned down and kissed her on the forehead. "You know Montana – there is something about you."

She smiled at him and climbed out of bed. "Who's all here?"

Danny: "Stella and Flack. "Hey...Come here." He grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her towards him and wrapped his arms around her. He could feel her contentment and he felt content too! "I promise this will be over soon!"
