It was Valentine's Day and Flack only had two hours left of his shift. Two hours in which he could think about how he hadn't seen or talked to Lindsay since they had been at Ruckus three days ago. Two long hours. In fact, he was counting down the minutes until he'd be able go home. Today had been a slow day. There hadn't been any homicidal spurned lovers, no insane shootings of FTD deliverymen, no Valentine's Day massacres of any kind. Flack hated slow days.

"Hey Flack, wait up!"

Flack was almost ready to walk out the front doors of the lab when, at the sound of her voice, he turned to see Lindsay jogging down the hallway, trying to catch up with him.

"You're a hard man to catch." Lindsay said, finally coming to a stop in front of him.

"You have no idea, honey." Flack said. He smiled and nodded towards the items in Lindsay's hand. "What do you have there?"

"Happy Valentine's Day!" Lindsay said with some pride, thrusting her hand forward.

Lindsay shoved a small cardboard heart into Flack's hand. It was wrapped in plastic and had a cartoon crocodile in running shoes running down a path of brightly colored hearts. Attached to the side of the box was a small valentine, the type that kids give to each other at school. Flack looked at the gift and couldn't help but laugh. Only Lindsay could pull off making something that looked like it came from an eight year old a cool gift to give to an adult.

For a moment, Flack didn't know what to say. Lindsay Monroe had given him a valentine. He was actually touched. He hadn't expected this today. Flack's feelings of warmth and gooeyness were replaced with panic and worry. Should he have gotten her something? Would she be upset that he didn't have anything for her?

Flack was shaken out of his thoughts by Lindsay's voice.

"Flack? You okay? It's just chocolate." Lindsay said, gently touching him on the arm and trying to get some reaction from Flack.

Flack brought his eyes up to meet Lindsay's.

"Thank you. I mean it. This was really nice of you. I didn't expect anything like this." Flack meant every word and brought his hand up to his chest to emphasize his point. He was almost at a loss for words.

"It was nothing. I just wanted you to have a good Valentine's Day." Lindsay said with her usual genuine Montana smile. Taking a look at Flack, she quickly added, "Really, it was nothing I gave one to Mac and Danny, too. Even Sid. My grandmother always sends me about twenty of them to give out to friends. I think she buys them in bulk at Costco or something. It's silly really, but I like it."

Flack realized that Lindsay was rambling. He liked it. He thought it was cute that Lindsay couldn't quite figure out how to end the conversation and kept talking instead. A voice from behind Lindsay ended the conversation for her.

"Should'a had you pegged for a Costco girl, Montana." Danny said as he walked past Flack and Lindsay.

"Like you've never been, Messer." Lindsay shot back.

"Think what you like Montana, but I'm not one to buy in bulk like you country people." Danny shifted his gaze from Lindsay to Flack and winked, letting Flack know that he was enjoying getting a rise out of his partner. Danny walked on, leaving Flack and Lindsay alone again in the hall.

"So, anyway…happy Valentine's Day, Flack." Lindsay finished with a smile.

"Thanks, Lindsay. Thanks a lot." Flack said, meaning it.

Lindsay turned around and walked back towards her lab, leaving Flack to continue out of the lab alone, but with his crocodile chocolates and valentine in his hand.
