Lindsay stood in the doorway watching Danny work; she'd been up for over thirty six hours if you didn't include the littered one hour nap she'd taken.

"I don't know about Montana, but in New York we have laws against loitering." Danny said he hadn't turned around but he knew she was there.

"I didn't want to interrupt."

"You're not." He assured her. "So what's up?"

"Do you like being right?" Lindsay asked entering the room.

"Doesn't everyone?" Danny inquired. "Right about what?"

"It was an insurance scam. The jewellers hasn't been doing very good business, some of their stones came from questionable sources, so the owner swapped out all the real stones for good simulations and had his brother-in-law and best friend break in and steal the contents. We found all the real stones when we searched his house."

"I told you."

"He even called in an anonyms tip to the police about the robbery, but he didn't expect them to be right around the corner, and no-one was supposed to get hurt. Flack and friends are out picking up the robbers now."

"Good work." Danny told her.

"They should all do some decent time." Lindsay crossed her arms.

"That's good." Danny stated. "How's the injured cop doing?"

"He should be out of the hospital tomorrow, and back on duty in about a week."

"Good good."

"Anyway Mac says Stella and I can go home, we'll do the paperwork tomorrow. I just wanted to say goodbye."

"Are you okay apart from being tired?"

"My mom is going to go give me a hard time for work too hard." Lindsay sighed fingering her necklace. "I'll deal with her and then go and get some sleep."

"You can go to my place and sleep for a few hours if you want." He offered.

"Thanks for the offer, but I'd just have to go home afterwards and this involves just one trip."

"Call me if you want to talk later." Danny suggested.

"Okay. I'll see you tomorrow."

"Sweet dreams Montana." He told her.

"Lindsay must have just come by." Hawkes said when he entered the room.

"Why do you say that?" Danny asked.

"Because you have that goofy grin on your face you get when she's around." Hawkes replied.

"They solved their case; she and Stella are heading home since they have been up all night."

The lights were off in Lindsay's apartment when she made it home. She found a note from her mother telling her where she would be and that she would be home at six.

Lindsay made herself a cup of warm milk, took a quick shower and crawled into bed which is where she remained.

Lynne came home and she let her daughter sleep. When there was a knock on the door Lynne got up to answer it. She checked the peephole before she opened.

"Danny." She said.

"Hey Lynne."

"Lindsay is asleep."

"I know. I was actually here to see you."

"Me?" Lynne questioned.

"Since Lindsay is exhausted and needs to sleep I was wondering if I could show you some more of New York. I know most of the big tourist spots are closed but there are still some great places that you can see and I know all the good places to eat."

"That would be nice." Lynne smiled. "Let me leave Lindsay a note."

"Why don't I write her a note while you get your purse and a sweater, it can get cold at night here?" He suggested.

"Okay."

Danny scribbled Lindsay a note in case she woke up, before he and Lynne left.

Lindsay woke up a little after ten feeling hungry.

The living room was empty.

"Mom?" She questioned. She looked around and found her apartment empty before she found the note.

Montana,

I'm taking your Mom out to show her around New York so you can get some undisturbed sleep, I'll make sure she eats and I'll have her home before midnight. Sweet dreams. Love Danny.
