About fifteen minutes dodging in and out of store fronts, Lindsay was getting fed up and Danny knew it. "You all right?" he asked her, as he grabbed onto her arm, and pulled her into him, as Dylan turned towards them.
"No, Messer, I'm not," she replied, as she looked up at him. "My side really hurts and this guy is starting to piss me off." She brushed back a loose strand of her hair and shot him a hard glare. "What do you think?"
"Seems about right." He then pulled her closer. When she was about to argue with him, he put a finger to her lips. "Just look deeply into my eyes, Montana, and don't argue."
"They're right behind us aren't they?" she asked, as she moved closer to him, and he nodded. "Right."
"Just relax, and follow my lead." She nodded only to freeze when a hand touched her shoulder. "Or not."
"Well hello there, Officers," Dylan said, causing Lindsay to turn around to face him and Kylie. "What are you doing out here on this find day? Following us?"
"No," Lindsay answered, as she stepped back into Danny's open arms, and he had no other choice but to wrap them around her, or look like a complete idiot. "We're done for the day, so we decided to do some shopping while we were out."
"So you two are a couple then?" Dylan asked, as he looked over at them. "I thought that was frowned upon."
"It is, but we get by," Lindsay said, as she looked over at Dylan. "What brings you here?"
"Kylie needed some things." Dylan then made a face. "And we're late for an appointment." He then hailed a cab. "Good day, Officers." Then they got in the cab and were gone.
"Hey guys," a voice called out from behind them, and Danny and Lindsay pulled apart, like they had been shot. Flack shot them a smile. "Whoa, don't mind me, I thought you guys looked cute together. I liked the fact that you made Dylan think you guys were a couple."
"Meaning what?" Lindsay asked, as she looked over at him. "Flack?"
Danny turned to face him. "Don, give it...what's up?"
"Well my answer would have to be in what you would give me," Don replied, with a smirk, causing them to look over at him. "Come on. I know that you too have the hots for each other."
"Flack..." Danny warned as he looked over at him.
"And I'm not going to tell anybody about the kiss that I was Lindsay give ya, Messer." Lindsay's face turned red as she ducked her head. "Thought that I didn't see that, since I was outside, did you?"
Lindsay nervously shook her head. "Maybe I go around kissing all men I work with" she states sarcastically.
Danny looks at her suspiciously. "Really?"
"So what do you want, Flack?" Lindsay asked, as she looked up at him. "Food? Movie tickets? Us hooking ya up with that cute girl at reception?"
"Look Flack if you want to know if I have the hots for Lindsay pay attention." Danny said. He abruptly grabbed Lindsay but did it in a way not to hurt her and kissed her so intensely Lindsay"s eyes widen with delight.
Flack grins with success. "Thanks Messer I knew it the whole time."
"Do you enjoy doing this?" Lindsay asks.
Flack chuckled at Danny's display of affection. "Ya got me there, Messer," he said, as he reached in his jacket for the warrant only to pause. "Could you guys hook me up with the cute one from reception?"
"Ya right now give us the warrant"
"Okay, ya love birds. Here's your warrant." Flack then hands them over their warrant. "It entitles you to his apartment only. His lawyer showed up before I could get to his place of work. This Dylan guy knows what he's doing."
Lindsay looked down the street at the direction Dylan had gone. "Maybe that's why I want to shoot him," she mumbled.
"Messer, chill ya girl down." Flack tells him.
"Nah, that's normal, for you to want to shoot the bad guys, Montana," Danny replied, as he shot a glare at Flack. "But we have to give him points. Stan said that he was the one to shot him."
"Ya I give him credit. I wanted to shoot Stan to," Lindsay muttered. That got Danny and Flack to chuckle. "What? Danny you were stuck in the vault with him too. You understand. He was horrible."
"Yeah, a couple more hours, who knows what I would have done."
"My point exactly." She then ran a hand through her hair. "So when do we get to go to his place?"
"The only catch of this warrant is that we have to do it when Dylan is there," Flack said, as he looked over at the two CSIs. "And he wants you love birds to be there."
"Flack drop the love birds remark or no reception girl," Danny said, and the smirk dropped from Flack's face.
"Yeah that's right" Lindsay states.
"Fine," Flack said, in a tone that made him sound like a boy who had his toys taken away. "It'll be our little secret until ya break it to the others. You are going to break it to the others?" Danny and Lindsay then looked at each other. "Ya didn't know?"
"Didn't know what?" Lindsay asked.
"That you had this strong of feelings for each other?" Flack then smirked. "You two are made for each other. Come on, let's go. Surely he who shoots his friend is back at his place by now. And we can chat over the warrant. It'll be a good chat too."
"You love to chat don't you Flack? you probably chat the lovely receptionists ear off." Messer said, as they headed for Dylan's apartment.
"Yeah, and we can have Dylan and Monroe talk. They were so at ease with each other before," Flack countered. Flack then watched as jealousy flickered in Danny's eyes. "Ya okay, Messer?"
"I'm not leaving Lindsay alone with Dylan," Danny answered, as he came up to his side. "That guy is a creep"
"Oh, I kinda liked him," Flack said, with a smirk.
"You would," both CSIs replied, as they looked over at him. "You always seem to go for the bad guys." Making a reference to his job.
"That is what makes the world go round." They then broke into a chuckle, as they headed back for Dylan's apartment.
