After Lindsay had put her parents in a cab, she headed to the lab.
In a few hours all her paperwork was up to date, so she walked it to Mac's office and dropped it off.
"Lindsay?" Hawkes said as she was walking towards the break room.
"Hey." She smiled.
"I thought you were with your parents, I know Danny said I pulled him away from dinner."
"They headed back to my place." Lindsay replied.
"You didn't go home?"
"I'm staying with Danny while both my parents are in town, but there is a guy in his building that gives me the creeps so I'd rather not be there alone." She explained. "So I thought I'd come by and catch up on some paperwork, but that's all done. So do you have anything I can process?"
"We got about a hundred prints if you're looking for something to keep you busy. Most of them are probably our vics, we've got elimination prints."
"Sounds good." Lindsay replied.
Hawkes handed her the bag with all the prints in it.
"It's already been logged into evidence."
Lindsay signed for the evidence.

"Hey." Danny walked a few hours later. "Hawkes finally mentioned you were here. Why didn't you head back to my place and go to bed?"
"I wasn't tired." Lindsay replied. "I've done all my paperwork so I offered to help out so Hawkes had me go through these prints."
"Any luck?"
"One hundred and one." Lindsay stated.
"What?"
"One hundred and one prints belong to the victim. I have two that don't. I'm running them now."
"You've managed to go through a hundred and three prints in a couple hours?"
"Your vic has distinctive fingerprints, including lots of pre-existing scars which make it easier to make a visual match on."
"Impressive."
"I'll let you know if I get a match but it could be a while."
"Since you're here, how did I really do with your father?" Danny asked.
"You passed muster." Lindsay replied.
"That's good right?"
"It means he won't be hunting you down with his shot gun." Lindsay replied. "You don't have anything to worry about my parents like you."
"Good good."
"I'll let you know about the prints." She told him.
"See you later."

Lindsay was startled awake a few hours later when the computer beeped with a match. She was grateful that she had put all the rest of the fingerprints away before she fell asleep watching the computers run through looking for a match.
Lindsay printed off the results.
Then the other computer beeped.
She printed those results as well.
Stowing the evidence and dropping back at the evidence lock up, she went in search of Danny and Hawkes.
"Do you want the good news or the good news?" Lindsay asked when she finally tracked them down.
"Does that involve coffee?" Hawkes inquired.
"No but it does involve a suspect who has two hits." Lindsay replied.
"Two?" Danny questioned.
"David Grace. He shoplifted something to the value of about fifty bucks the day after he turned 18." She showed the NYPD results. "Then we have this results which is from the Armed Forces registry. He's a Corporal at West Point."
"It looks like we're going to give the US Army a little visit today."
"I'll go and put on the coffee." She left them with the results.
"Thanks Lindsay." Hawkes told her. "Do you want to call them or should I?"
"You call them and ask if they know where he is. I'll call Mac."
"It's three am." Hawkes pointed out.
"Mac likes to know when we're going to aggravate the military." Danny pointed out. "Once we're done we may as well get some sleep, we'll finish everything else up later."
