Chapter Thirty Six: We're Going To Need More Than One Car...

Chicago O'Hare International Airport, Illinois

They all sat in the waiting room for their flight to Montana. Everyone that had been in the library was there now, the two detectives, all of the FBI agents, all of the CSI investigators, and all of the doctors. It was like it had been a year ago, when they were all evacuating from Hurricane Arthur that was going to hit the east coast. And they were all going to the same place in Montana, to Bozeman, where Calleigh, Danny, Horatio, and Lindsay would be waiting.

Lindsay had sent them a text message earlier, telling that she was in Bozeman. She had also told in the message that Danny would pick them up from the airport, but what she didn't realize was that it wasn't just the CSI investigators that were coming to Montana. Stella had laughed at that thought; she knew Lindsay would flip when she saw how many people were really coming to Montana. Danny wouldn't be able to take all of them in one car, so some of them would have to take a cab or rent a car of their own. There would also not be enough rooms for everyone at Lindsay's house, but not everyone was going to stay at her house. They would stay for dinner, to reunite with one another, but then go their separate directions.

Stella glanced at the sign that told the information about their flight, and figured out that the flight would leave in twenty minutes. She turned to look at Mac and said, "You know, it seems like yesterday that we were just evacuating New York to come here."

Mac nodded. "We were waiting with the FBI agents, Lindsay had gotten sick, you and Samantha had been arguing."

"Well, not all memories are good." She glanced at Samantha, remembering that they had argued only because she had wanted to know more about Paige Hobson. She had gotten along with her during the storm, but now she wondered if they would argue again because she would demand on who Lindsay really was. Lisa Cuddy had told her the truth, and the only way she would find out more about Lindsay's two identities would be by asking Samantha herself. She could always ask Jack Malone or even Mac, but right now, she decided it would be a good idea not to let Lindsay know she had found out about her secret. Mac's voice sounded beside her as he began to talk again.

"But just think. If we hadn't evacuated New York, would we have ever gotten married? If it hadn't been for your disappearance, would we have continued fighting, or would we have admitted our feelings for each other?" He gave her a moment to think and then started talking again. "If none of this had happened, Stel, we would have never fallen in love. We would have just been working together as CSI investigators, never admitting that we truly loved each other."

"Yeah," agreed Stella. "Some memories are bad, but they are always followed by good ones. Life is a rollercoaster. There are ups and downs, but you have to continue to ride through it. You have to continue living life. You can't be afraid of what's to come."

Mac smiled. "And that's what I've been trying to make you understand. And you've finally realized it. When you found out that New York City had gotten flooded and you wouldn't be able to see New York again, you never thought Chicago would never become your new home and didn't think it could replace New York. When the storm hit, you thought everything was being taken away from you and you didn't think you would make it. But you did. You made it through the rollercoaster."

"I wasn't the only one who made it through the rollercoaster," Stella remarked. She leaned her head on Mac's shoulder. "You did too. And so did many others."

"We made it through the storm," Mac agreed, closing his eyes. "We are survivors."

Sitting farther away from Mac and Stella was Cuddy, who was gazing intently at the chair beside her. She was imagining House was there, like he had been a year ago, waiting for their flight to Chicago. When she had taken her gaze away from the chair to look at Cameron, she began signing. "Remember when I kissed Wilson on the cheek?"

Cuddy nodded. "That was the time when Foreman said House and I were madly in love."

"It was true," signed Cameron.

"What about you and Chase?" Cuddy signed inquiringly. "Have you two ever thought about getting married some time soon?"

"What about you and House?" Cameron signed back quickly.

Cuddy hadn't considered that thought before. She hadn't seen House for a long time, but she knew they would spend some time with each other before they thought about getting married. "Maybe we'll get married before you."

"Maybe you will," Cameron signed agreeing.

Lilly carried the two coffees over to where Scotty was sitting by the window. She sat down next to him and gave him his coffee. "Just like you like it," she said. "It reminds me of when we were leaving Philly, and you went to get coffees for the two of us."

Scotty nodded. "That was also when we admitted to liking each other."

"Well, there's a positive thing about this flight."

"And what's that, Rush?" he asked.

"We get to sit next to each other," she replied.

"That is a positive thing," agreed Scotty.

Jack and Samantha sat away from the rest of their team, discussing quietly about Paige Hobson. Jack glanced over at Stella. "She knows something about Paige Hobson, doesn't she?"

Samantha nodded. "Not much, though. But there was a website that someone made, telling about Lindsay Monroe, but nothing about Paige Hobson. In bold letters at the bottom of the page, it said, 'I know your true identity, Lindsay Monroe.' She thought Stella might have made it, but I don't believe Stella would do that. Even if she did know something about Paige Hobson, she wouldn't say anything to anyone or put Lindsay's life in danger."

"Beth could have made the website," Jack remarked. "It could have been another thing that was supposed to help find the missing Paige Hobson."

"No, it couldn't have been," said Sam. "She doesn't know anything of Lindsay Monroe." She paused, lost in a moment of thought. "Luke Mala, what if he made the website? He did mention knowing Paige Hobson."

"I highly doubt it," Jack said. "Unless he had excess to a computer, then he wouldn't have had time to make it. He is in jail anyway, and he was Stella's kidnapper. He hadn't kidnapped Stella just to torture Lindsay into telling him her true identity."

"Then the website maker is left unknown," said Samantha. "Unless it was Lisa, yet she doesn't seem like the type."

"No one seems like the type at first," replied Jack. "But I don't see her making the website either." He noticed the worried expression on her face and then said, "Don't worry Sam, we'll figure out her identity. It'll just take some time."

"And that's exactly what I've been telling Paige for a long time," said Samantha. "'It'll take time, you just have to be patient.' I don't know how much longer she's really going to be able to wait. What if she decided to turn herself in, as Paige Hobson?"

"Well, that's her decision Sam," replied Jack. "We can't stop her from going to jail if that's what she thinks is the right thing to do. But she'll have to be patient, like you said, and soon that patience will pay off. She'll learn her real identity."

"But she may not be happy about her true identity," Sam whispered, so quietly that even Jack couldn't hear her.

Soon their flight to Montana arrived, and they began to board the plane. They boarded fast, and it only took a matter of minutes to get the plane off the runway. The plane was soon flying in the sky, above the snow covered states, leaving behind all of the destruction that had devastated their lives. And it seemed like as fast as they had left the city of Chicago was as fast as the time it took them to get to Montana. They had made it to Montana.

Coming off the plane, they entered the room filled with people waiting for their arriving flight. Just like Lindsay had said, Danny was waiting right there for them. He smiled when he saw his friends after such a long time. "Mac, Stella, how are you guys?" he asked.

"We're great," replied Stella with a glance at Mac. "I'm guessing Lindsay told you already?"

Danny gave her a puzzled look. "Told me already about what?"

Mac took Stella's hand and held it out to show Danny the ring on her finger. His eyes widened in surprise. "You two got married? When did this happen?"

Mac nodded. "Not too long after we evacuated New York."

"I'm glad to hear it," said Danny. "You two always had a connection."

Flack and Hawkes appeared at their side. Danny reached out to shake hands with the both of them. "Hey Flack, Hawkes, I haven't seen you guys for a long time."

"Yeah," Flack agreed. "You could have come to the Chicago Crime Lab to visit once in a while, but you decided not to. Well, I didn't bother call you either, so that's partly my fault. But where were you anyway? You didn't work as a CSI; were you even in Chicago?"

"I was in Chicago," replied Danny, "wasting my life away, thinking too much about Lindsay. But enough about my life, let's get going before…"

A voice sounded behind Danny. "Well look here, it's Mr. and Mrs. Taylor. How nice it is to see you two again."

"Adam?" questioned Stella.

"That's me alright," said Adam. "Away from the unexpected snow in Phoenix to find that there is more snow in Montana. But yes, I am here."

"Well, it is normally colder in Montana," said Sid, appearing by Adam's side.

"This is great!" exclaimed Stella. "The whole team is back again! It's feels as if we are coming home to New York, not Montana."

"Well," said Danny, "Lindsay said that from a recent report the water levels in New York City are starting to recede."

"Wait, so you're saying that we might have a chance of going back to New York?" asked Hawkes.

Danny nodded. "Now come on, we've got to get going before the day turns to night."

"But Danny, we're not the only ones coming with you," said Stella.

Danny gave her another puzzled look. "What? Then who else is coming?" Stella pointed to the crowd of FBI agents and doctors. Danny almost fell over. "I think we're going to need more than one car."

"I think we were going to need more than one car to begin with," said Mac.

Cuddy walked out into the waiting room to join the other waiting doctors. As she looked around the small room, she saw the person that she wanted to see, the person who she had wanted to see for such a long time. Greg.

She ran over to him and immediately took him in her arms. She cried, for she could feel the tears rushing down her face and though she could not hear herself say his name, she knew she kept saying, Greg. And she could imagine him saying to her, "I'm so glad you're all right. I've missed you so much, Lisa, it's so nice to see you again."

When she released him from her arms, he did something she didn't expect him to do. He signed, "I love you, Lisa."

She smiled. "I love you too, Greg."

After a few moments of them staring at each other, House nodded to Cameron, who was walking towards them. "Um, well, Danny Messer, the one who was supposed to take us to Lindsay's house in his car?" Cameron signed. "Well, he's already taking four people in his car, so I think we'll have to rent our own car."

"A car?" questioned House. "We'll need more than one car."

Cameron paused to look at House, surprised that he had learned sign. "It's nice to see you again. Where were you anyway?"

This time it was Cuddy's turn to look at House. He signed his answer, "I was wherever you wanted me to be."

"Well you were gone, and that was a good thing," said Cameron.

Cuddy had lip read what she had said. She hit her on the arm. "Well, for me it was a good thing," Cameron said. "But it's nice to see a familiar face." They walked over to the other doctors. Everyone greeted House and after not seeing him for the last year, they were glad to see him again and even were glad to hear his jokes again. Thirteen only greeted him with a smile; she still seemed a little jealous at the fact that Cuddy and House were dating.

"Where's Danny Messer?" Elena asked Samantha.

"We're not taking his car anymore," replied Samantha. "He's already taking four people with him and I don't think he'll have room for another six."

"Well, I don't think we'll be able to drive in one car," said Martin.

"That's why we're renting more than one car," said Sam.

"Where are we going anyway?" asked Vivian.

"Lindsay Monroe's house," Elena replied.

Sam turned to look at her. "You've got all the names, huh?"

"I guess so," Elena agreed.

"We should probably get going," Jack said urgently.

"Okay, Malone, we'll leave now," said Samantha. "Remember though, patience." Sam took the lead while the other FBI agents followed her.

Lilly and Scotty were the last ones to leave the airport. "I guess we're the smallest group, huh?"

"Yeah," agreed Lilly. "But our team had evacuated all over the states, so they couldn't have come with us. They'll probably send us an email or call us to say if they're okay."

"Will will probably ask if we had gotten married by now," said Scotty.

Lilly turned to look at him. "Are you saying that we should get married?"

Scotty's cheeks turned red. "Maybe," he said with a shrug.

Lilly laughed. "Come on Scotty, we've got to get going." They quickly rented a car, the only two out of the people that were going to Lindsay's house that had only had to rent one car. They soon left the airport and made their way to Bozeman.

Chapter 37- Everyone—the CSIs, the FBI, the doctors, and Lilly and Scotty—meets up at Lindsay's house to celebrate the ending of 'The Day after Tomorrow'.
