The address Stan gave for Dylan's apartment gave them an apartment on the fifth floor to a very nice apartment building. Flack knocked on the door and it was opened to reveal a five year-old girl. "Hey, sweety," Flack said to her, as he looked down at her, as she looked up at the strange adults, who towered over her. "Is your daddy home?" She shook her head no, and started to close the door, but Flack quickly put a hand on the door to keep it open. "Are you sure?" She nodded, and shot a glance back into the apartment. The CSIs could hear a TV blaring in one of the back rooms. "Are you home alone?" She shook her head no. "Who's here with you? Your mom?" She shook her head no again. Flack then looked over at the CSIs for help. "Guys help?"
Lindsay shot Flack a sympathetic smile, as she went up towards the little girl and moved towards the little girl. "Hey, honey," she said, as she hunched down to the girl's level. "Is Dylan around?"
"Yeah, he's watching T.V." the girl replied, as she looked up at Lindsay. "Do you want him?"
"Yeah, we would like to talk to him," Lindsay said, as she looked at the girl. "Could you get him for us?"
"Sure." She then dashed into the apartment and yelled. "Dylan! There are people are door for you."
"Kylie, what have I told you about opening the door to strangers," a harsh voice called out, causing the three detectives to look up as Dylan materialized in front of them on the other side of the door. They were taken back at his appearance. Dylan was a very tall, lean young man, around his mid to late twenties, with short, shaggy black hair, and brown eyes. "Hi, what can I do for you today? You look old for girl scouts. And last time I checked you had to be girls." He shot Lindsay a smile. "How are you today, Darling?"
"Have you been to the bank lately, Mr. Dylan?" Lindsay asked, as she looked over at him, completely brushing off his flirting. "Like in the last couple of days."
"Yeah, but what's it's to you?" Dylan asked, as he got up from his spot of leaning up against the door frame and looked around at them. "Who are you people? You're not door to door sales men are you?"
"Do we look like we are door to door sales men?" Flack asked, as he reached for his badge and Dylan began to move back into his apartment. "Easy, buddy. I'm not going for a weapon, I'm only going for my badge."
"Your badge?" Dylan then looked over at each of them in shock. "What is this? Did my ex send you? I've been paying her child support. She can't be trying to take Kylie again."
"Ah, we're not here because of your ex," Flack started, as he looked over at Dylan. "We're here because of another matter."
"Like what?" Dylan asked, as he crossed his arms over his chest and looked over at Lindsay. She shifted her weight and turned to look away, feeling uncomfortable at how he was looking at her. Danny quickly stepped in between them, and Dylan smiled. "Like did I have too many unpaid parking tickets? So which is it?"
"You helped rob a bank." Flack said, as he looked over at him. That got Dylan to laugh as he looked over at them. Flack then shot a glance over at the two CSIs who had come with him. "What? Did I say something funny?" They shook their head no. "Yeah, I didn't think so. See, your buddy, Stan. Gave ya up. It took a long time for him to do it though. Took some nasty eyes to break him after a long time of being silence."
"And your telling me this why?"
"Because this is the address he gave us for this dude, Dylan, who shot him and left him in the vault at the bank they robbed."
"Sorry, dude, but you got the Dylan."
"Is there another Dylan who lives at this apartment?"
"No, only me." He then took a step back into the apartment. "And if you want to come in. You're going to need a warrant. Have a nice day." He then shut the door in their faces.
"Oh that went well," Flack muttered, as he turned to look at the others. "Don't you think?"
"Yeah," Danny said, as he looked over at him. "So well, you get to tell Mac."
Flack's face fell. "Oh, that's just mean, Danny," Lindsay said, as they started to walk down the hallway away from the apartment. "Okay, I'm confused about something. That little girl kept saying that her daddy wasn't home, but Dylan said that he was her father. Who was telling the truth?"
"One way to know the truth," Danny said, as he looked back at the door. "Talk to the mom. Then we talk to a judge and get our warrant. While Flack talks to Mac."
"Oh, yeah," Flack muttered, as they headed for the stairs. "Why does it got to be who's got to talk to Mac?"
"Cause you did most of the talking in the first place," Danny pointed out. "It only seems fair."
"Ah, I get ya." Flack got on his cell phone to talk to Mac and turned his back to them. They hit the main lobby and headed for the street, only to have Lindsay snag Danny's arm and pull him back into her.
"What?" Danny asked her, only to have her cut him off, with a kiss, as Dylan and Kylie moved past them. "Ah, I see. Good thinking. Not that I don't enjoy kissing you Montana, but I don't think I would want Flack to see."
"Oh, you're probably right about that." She blushed a little as she looked past his shoulder to see that they were on the street now, passing by Flack. "Okay, come on." They came up beside Flack on the street and he looked up at them. Lindsay pointed out Dylan and Kylie. Flack smiled. "So what should we do?"
"You guys follow them, and I'll see about that warrant," Flack said, as he headed off in the opposite direction that Dylan and Kylie had headed. "Keep your phones on."
"That's a duh suggestion," Danny muttered, as he and Lindsay headed off after Dylan and Kylie. "This wasn't what I had planned for today. You?"
"Nope," she said, as she looked up at him, and put a hand on her side. He shot her a concerned look. "I'll be okay. Just movement kinda hurts. But I promise, I'll tell you if I'm in any more pain."
"You better." They then looked up to see Dylan and Kylie not that far ahead of them. Danny grabbed onto Lindsay's arm and pulled her into a store front out of sight. "This is going to be fun."
"Isn't life as CSI always fun."
"Oh, yeah."
