Just Another Day...
By: Manhattan Svu

Danny had just opened Lindsay's apartment door when he saw Lindsay rushing around trying to find her keys .(A/N: She had a key to David and her's car, but he took it when he left, so she just has her apartment key and keys for work) He wasn't sure if she knew he was actually there or not. Danny faked a cough and then that suddenly got her attention.

"Hey Danny. I really appreciate you coming to pick me up!" Lindsay said, digging through her purse.

"It's really not a problem. I would have thought you were more organized Montana." Danny said, chuckling at the sight before him.

Lindsay glared at Danny and then shrieked when she found her keys. "I normally have them put somewhere but I was preoccupied."

"Oh. Are you ready to go?" Danny asked, wanting to get to the scene.

"Yeah, let me just grab a drink. You want something?" Lindsay asked politely.

"Water would be great, Montana. Thanks!" Danny said, taking the bottle of water from Lindsay.

Lindsay had taken another bottle of water for her and then she grabbed her jacket and purse and headed for the door. Danny was just one step behind her. When they had both walked out of the apartment, Lindsay shut the door and locked it. She had just locked it and was trying to pull the key out when it got stuck. She pulled a little harder and then they fell out of her hand onto the ground. Danny saw this and quickly bent down to pick the keys up for her. He placed the keys into her hands and then just touched her arm as a friendly gesture. To Danny's suprise, she jumped slightly as if it had hurt her.

"Are you okay Lindsay?" Danny asked, concerned at what had just happened.

"Uhh... yeah. I'm fine, just... I think we should really get to the scene. Flack probably won't want to wait much longer." Lindsay said, starting to walk out of her aparment building and to the parking lot.

"Okay. Well I guess we better get going then." Danny said, not really wanting to drop the subject.

Danny jumped into the driver's side of the crime lab vehicle, and started the engine. Lindsay got in the passenger side and quietly pulled her seatbelt on. Danny started driving towards the crime scene in eerie silence. Danny was worried at the way Lindsay was acting and the fact that she hadn't asked the details on the crime scene was just not like Lindsay. Danny took a quick glance at her and could see that she was leaning the side of her head against the window.

"Lindsay are sure that nothing is wrong?" Danny asked.

"Yes! I am fine, Danny. Can you please stop?" Lindsay shouted.

Danny was shocked that Lindsay would get this upset over a simple question. After this happened, he knew something had been going on and he was definately going to find out what. Even through all the arguing and disagreeing, Danny had always thought of Lindsay as a friend, and it hurt him that she wouldn't talk to him about it. Danny and Lindsay didn't say a word the rest of the way to the scene.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

When they arrived at the scene, Danny could see Flack standing past the yellow tape. He was patiently tapping his foot on the ground. Flack noticed that Danny and Lindsay had arrived, so he started walking over the vehicle.

"It's about time. What took you so long?" Flack asked, while Danny and Lindsay grabbed their kits.

"Hey, don't look at me! It was her this time..." Danny said, and pointed his finger at Lindsay.

"Danny lay off!" Lindsay said in a low tone.

"Someone's in a bad mood today." Flack said, holding up the yellow tape for her and Danny.

"So what happened here?" Lindsay asked, ignoring Flack's comment and scanning the little park they were standing in.

"We got witnesses that say they heard screaming coming from the park. They go to check it out and find two victims. Victim number one is Lori Ritenour, 23, from South Carolina. Must be visiting, but we are trying to get in contact with her family. Moving on to victim number two, Dylan Carver, 25, also from South Carolina. I'm guessing that they were visiting someone here together." Flack stated, looking up from the identification they had found.

"Wonderful." Lindsay muttered, opening up her kit and putting on some white gloves.

The next two and half hours, Danny and Lindsay spent processing the scene at the park. They had found a bloody knife that had obviously been used to stab the victims. As they bagged and tagged all the evidence, Flack had gone to interview the witnesses. Once they were done, they packed all the evidence up and loaded it into the crime lab vehicle.

Danny and Lindsay drove all the way back to the crime lab in complete silence. Not a single word said from either of them. They had gathered all the evidence from the suv and brought it into the layout room to actually process all of it. Not even thirty minutes later, Danny had found a white powdery substance in a baggy and sent it to Trace. Lindsay had gone to the morgue to get the victims clothes and also find out how Lori and Dylan died.

Lindsay had gotten distracted by a loud honking noise coming from the parking lot. She walked towards the entrance doors of the crime lab to see what was going on, when she saw a familiar car speeding out of the parking lot. It was David and her's car. She was so shocked to see him that she had grabbed onto the railing just to stand up right.

Stella stormed into the crime lab nearly knocking Lindsay over. Lindsay was startled to say the least when Stella knocked her out of her daze.

"I'm so sorry Lindsay. I didn't see you." Stella said, apologetically.

"No worries Stella it's okay." Lindsay said, trying to block out the thoughts she had.

"Did you see that guy? He nearly hit my car when I was trying to pull out." Stella said, fuming.

"Uhh... yeah I saw. What a jerk!" Lindsay said, quietly. "Um... Stella I have to go make a phone call. See you later." Lindsay rushed from the entrance of the crime lab to the locker room and was looking for her cell phone, when she heard someone walk into the locker room.

"So Lindsay..." the unknown person said.

A/N: I am trying to not get into anything very technical with the case in this story. I don't know everything about Forensics and that, so I don't want to write anything that may actually be false. All of the other characters will be more involoved in the next chapter. Please REVIEW and tell me what you think of my story!
