Just at the last moment, before the dog jumped for her throat, Lindsay turned and ducked. The dog sailed over her shoulder and slid across the floor. "Lucky girl," Hawkes muttered, as she quickly took off down a corridor away from them. "Now where is she going?"
"I would say away from the dogs," Danny said, as he shot Hawkes a glance. "Come on, before the dogs see us. We got to get the body up someplace were they can't touch it."
"Right, come on stiff, let's put you someplace safe, so we can go rescue our damsel in distress," Hawkes muttered to the body, as they heaved it up on top of the body.
"Just don't let her ever hear you call her that." Danny then turned when they heard a loud crash followed by a loud growl. "Oh, that didn't sound good."
"No, it did not." After making sure the body was secured, Hawkes turned to face Danny. "Come on, Let's go find her."
"Yeah, let's go." They then took off to find their fellow CSI.

As Lindsay was running from the dogs, she could hear them chasing her. 'Oh, perfect,' she thought, as she the turned a corner and found a dead end. "Oh great," she said out loud, as she back tracked and turned another corner and slammed into a ma. She let out a small scream as she stumbled back on the ground and looked up at it. "Geez, Montana, give yourself a scare." She then smile, when she realized that she was calling herself by the nickname that Danny had given her. "Okay, pull yourself together before the puppies from down under come out to play." She quickly got to her feet, grabbed her dropped flash light, and took off down another corridor. "See ya later, Stiffy."
Lindsay got about two yards away from Stiffy when she heard the sound of feet and she froze. It wasn't the normal sound of human feet either. They sounded like padded feet and more than one set of them. She had taken about another ten feet when her phone peeped and she jumped. "Oh, this can't be happening." She grabbed for her phone before it made another sound. She backed away from the hallway into what seemed to be an office and locked the door behind her. "Oh, smart, trap yourself with no exit out."
Her phone beeped again and she shot a glance down at it to see that she had a text message. She flipped it opened to see that it was from Danny. 'Where are you?' it read. That got her to smile, as she looked around the office only to frown, when she realized that she had no idea where here was.
'Trapped in an office somewhere' she texted backed. She jumped when she heard growls on the other side of the door.
'And your new pals?' She bit back a laugh at his reference to the dogs.
'Outside the door wanting in.' She backed away from the door and went over to where there was a small window over looking the hallway. 'Where you at?'
'Just hanging here with our buddy, Hawkes. He says hi.' She chuckled again, as she looked out the window. The glass was very dirty and she couldn't see very well.
'How nice.' Just then one of the dogs jumped up on the glass and she jumped back, only to loose her balance and she crashed back into a rusty table, cutting her arm. "Oh, nice one, Monroe, cut yourself," she muttered, as she looked down at her arm. The wound wasn't all that deep, but it hurt. "Nice." She began to search her pockets for anything to use as a bandage to wrap around the wound to stop the bleeding and found nothing. "That's great." The dogs growled outside and she just scrunched her nose up at the door. "Yeah, I know you're still out there, but you're not coming in."
A knock came from the window and she jumped. Her head snapped and she looked over to see that it was the cop. "Yo, labbie," he called through the window. "You okay?"
"Watch out for the dogs," Lindsay called out to him, as she started to head towards the window.
"What dogs?" the officer asked, as he opened the window from the outside. "There are no dogs in here. I think you're imagining things."
"No, trust me there are dogs in here. That's what killed the vic."
"You're joking right?"
"No, I'm not. Have you seen Danny or Hawkes?" Lindsay kept her hand over her wound, as she looked up at the officer.
"No, I haven't. Why are you locked in an office, labbie?"
"Don't call me that," Lindsay muttered, as she looked around for any signs of the dogs. "I came in here to escape the dogs."
"Well 'the dogs' are gone now, so you can come out. I'll protect you, and take you back to your friends."
"Okay, if you say so, Officer." Lindsay went over and opened the door slowly and walked out into the corridor, keeping an extra eye out for the dogs.
"You ready to go?" he asked, as he came up to her side.
"Just one sec," she replied, as she rushed back into the office and grabbed onto her cell phone that she had dropped and looked at the text message. 'You okay? Montana?'
'Yeah, I'm fine,' she texted back, then turned to face the officer. "I'm ready."
"All right, let's go." They then took off down the hallway away from the officer. "I thought you guys cleared the warehouse and left?"
"We did, but when you guys didn't come out right away, we figured something wasn't right, so we came back in. Figured you guys go lost in here or got yourself into a bit of trouble." He then shot her a smile. "Seems we were right." They turned a corner and he stopped short, only to have Lindsay slammed into him. "Holy cow. What were you saying about dogs?"
"That they attacked the vic. But you don't believe me remember." Lindsay then peered around him and froze when she saw the dogs in front of them. "Oh, please tell me you brought you gun."
"Yeah, but we might have a problem with that. It's in the car."
"Oh, that's gonna be helpful," a voice called out from behind them, and Lindsay turned to face Hawkes and Danny. "Just step back carefully. Don't make any sudden movements."
"You think, labbie," the officer said, as he turned to face Danny, only to have one of the dogs jump at him, getting him in the throat. Lindsay screamed, and Danny rushed forward, slipping an arm around her waist and pulled her back. She turned her face away so that she didn't have to see the horrible scene ahead.
