"And you don't remember anything after that?" Mac asked.
"No." Lindsay confirmed. "Not until I woke up this morning with a raging headache."
"You were luck you were around people who didn't want to hurt you."
"Danny wouldn't. He just thought I was exhausted so when I feel asleep in the car he carried me inside, took of my shoes and put me to bed. Since I woke up fully dressed, I'm guessing that's accurate."
"So your memories are clear after you woke up?" Mac questioned.
"Yes. It's just everything else that's blank."
"I've got her tox report back." Danny walked in. "There were minute traces of Rohypnol in her system. Now the bodies on the other hand, have fatal doses in their systems."
"That's something I guess." Lindsay said.
"What?" Danny questioned.
"Wouldn't you prefer to be dead when someone lopped your head off?" Lindsay asked.
"Good point. I spoke to Adam he said she seemed fine a little tired, it was about an hour before we got back."
"Which means she probably got dosed by something here." Mac stated. "I want the lab she was in sealed off and tested for traces of Rohypnol, and I want anyone looking at any evidence related to this case wearing masks in case this wasn't an isolated incident."
"Okay." Danny agreed.
"What about me?"
"Do you want to go to the hospital?" Mac inquired.
"No. I just want to sleep this headache off." Lindsay stated.
"I would send you home but your parents are there so…"
"Can I just stay here?" Lindsay asked. "In case I remember anything?"
"You know where the pillow and blanket are." Mac told her.
"Thank you."
"If your headache gets worse or you start experiencing any other symptoms you're going to the hospital." Mac informed her.
"You know where I am if you need anything." Danny added.
Lindsay nodded.

Stella gave Danny a strange look when he stepped out of the lab which had crime tape over the door.
"What's going on?"
"Lindsay got dosed with Rohypnol last night. She doesn't remember anything after about 10.30 yesterday until she woke up this morning. Since all the vics were killed with high doses of Rohypnol before they were beheaded we're thinking that she either touched or inhaled a small amount. Since she was okay after she spoke to Adam last night and this is where we found her Mac wanted me to check it. He wants us to wear masks when testing the rest of the evidence as well."
"Okay. Is she okay?" Stella asked.
"She's got a killer headache and is a little confused but she's fine. She's asleep on Mac's couch."
"Mac's couch?" Stella questioned.
"When I found out she'd lost time I brought her here for a tox screen it's a lot quicker than going to the hospital. She needs someone to keep an eye on her it's either here or she has to explain to her parents what happened when she doesn't know."
"Good point. Do you know how it's going with the bodies?"
"They've matched up most of the heads with the bodies. We're just waiting on confirmation with the others."
"Any ID's?" Stella inquired.
"Not yet, their fingerprints don't match any in the system. Fourteen people going missing is significant but they don't match any missing persons reports either from what I can tell."
"Maybe it was a cult." Stella suggested.
"The cult of headless people?" Danny questioned.
"All the bodies and heads I saw seemed in the same stage of decomposition, cult kills themselves."
"And some decides to hack all their heads off and drop them off all over town?"
"It's possible; we've seen doomsday cults before." Stella pointed out.
"You look into that and I'll keep trying to find out how Lindsay got dosed."
"Rohypnol works fast."
"That's where my problem is."
"Did you test what she was wearing yesterday?" Stella suggested. "She could have got something on her clothes and breathed it in that way."
"She was wearing her clothes all night because I didn't want to wake her up. Wouldn't I have been dosed too?" Danny asked.
"We're scientists test before we rule things out."
"Tell Mac I'll be at my apartment picking up what she was wearing yesterday." Danny told her.
