Lindsay propped her head up on her hand and looked at Danny who was sleeping next to her. She gently blew on his neck.

Danny brought a hand up to swat it. Lindsay smiled and blew again.

"Montana, go back to sleep." Danny mumbled.

"I can't do that." Lindsay replied.

"Why not?"

She leant over to whisper in his ear.

"Because your alarm clock is about to go off in five, four, three, two, one."

The alarm clock rang.

Danny pulled his hand over from under the covers and banged around until he stopped the noise.

"How did you know that?"

"I've been watching the clock for a few minutes." She gave him a kiss.

"You know for someone who only had a few hours sleep and who is generally grumpy in the mornings, you're surprisingly perky."

"It's a nice day outside and I got a few more hours sleep than you did."

"When?" Danny asked.

"I fell asleep on the bag with all the fingerprints in while the computer was running."

"Okay." Danny was still half asleep.

"How about we conserve some water?" Lindsay suggested which woke Danny right up.

"So why exactly was Lindsay here running fingerprints?" Mac asked Danny.

"She came in after I skipped out on dinner with her parents when I got the call. I didn't know she was here for hours; she apparently had done all her paperwork and ran into Hawkes. She offered to run the 103 prints we got. Two hits on the same guy."

"I just got off the phone with the Army." Hawkes walked in. "Cpl Grace just reported in, they are going to hold him until we can get there to talk to him."

Danny looked at Mac.

"Don't offend anyone." Mac told them. "I want you back before the end of the day."

"Road trip." Danny rubbed his hands together.

"Get directions, and have Lindsay run anything that you have left to analyse since she already seems to be involved."

"Mac she offered." Hawkes pointed out.

"Don't keep the Army waiting."

"Hey Montana." Danny walked into the break room where she and Stella were getting some coffee.

"Want some coffee?" Lindsay offered.

"I'm fine. Mac said to ask you to finish up the last pieces of evidence we didn't get to last night and the DNA results should be back soon."

"Sure." Lindsay replied.

"Why can't you handle your own evidence?" Stella asked.

"Hawkes and I are going on a road trip."

"A road trip where?"

"West Point." Danny replied.

"How about you finish the evidence and Lindsay and I go to West Point?" Stella suggested.

"Got a thing for men in uniform there Stella?" Danny joked.

"What woman doesn't? I think it's genetic." She sipped her coffee.

Danny looked at Lindsay.

"Hey don't look at me I happen to agree with her. A couple thousand years of knights in shining armour rescuing you, it has to be genetic or at least in the chemistry of the brain."

"Oh really." Danny crossed his arms.

"Attraction is all about chemical reactions and the brain firing off the right neurons in the synapses." Lindsay explained.

"Good thing you still have your uniform." Stella patted his shoulder. "Have a good trip and I'll catch up with you later Lindsay."

"Okay." Lindsay replied.

"So men in uniform huh?"

"I have a thing for firemen." Lindsay winked at him. "Have a good trip and I'll let you know if I find anything."

"Thanks."
