Dr Huntsburg came back with Lindsay's test results about an hour later.
"So what's the verdict doc?" Danny inquired.
"We're going to admit you overnight for observation." Huntsburg informed Lindsay. "It's just precautionary."
"Okay." Lindsay agreed.
"May I?" Hawkes asked. Huntsburg handed him Lindsay's chart.
"We'll set you up with an IV. When was the last time you ate?"
"I know I had breakfast yesterday morning after that who knows?"
"You haven't had anything today?" He questioned.
"We kind of skipped breakfast when we figured out she had lost her memory." Danny admitted.
"We'll get you something to eat while you're waiting to be taken upstairs."
"As long as it isn't spiders, I'm not really in the mood."
"Spiders?" Huntsburg asked.
"Private joke." Danny replied not really wanting to explain it more.
"I can assure you we don't service insects or arachnoids, the food might not be very good but we've aim for a slightly higher standard."
"Thank you."
"I'll see you later." Huntsburg left them alone.
"Can you give us a minute?" Lindsay requested.
"I'll go and call Mac and let him know the situation." Hawkes stated.
"Thanks."
Danny ran his thumb over the back of Lindsay's hand.
"I'm going to have to keep a closer eye on you Montana." He told her.
"While you're doing that could you call my parents?" Lindsay asked.
"Mac has a car parked outside your apartment building. You're parents are there."
"Can you explain to them what happened without them demanding I go back to Montana?"
"I think I can handle that."
"Then I need you to help me convince them to go and see Becky today before they go back home."
"I can probably handle that too. "
"Thanks Danny."
Danny kissed her.
"I'll be right back."
Hawkes returned first.
"I filled Mac in, I have to head back but Mac says Danny can stay for a while." Hawkes explained.
"I'll send him back as soon as he helps me convince my parents to leave New York and go and see Becky."
"I'll let Mac know."
"Does my chart say anything interesting?" Lindsay inquired.
"Your white count is up slightly but nothing to be concerned about it's probably just a response to the fever. You still have a minute trace of the drug in your system but it has a short half life so it should be gone by tonight. You'll be back to normal in a couple days."
"That's good because I'm supposed to be going to Danny's father's birthday party." Lindsay sighed.
"You need anything?" Hawkes asked.
"If you do find this guy make sure Danny doesn't kill him." Lindsay requested.
"I think I can handle that. Feel better soon." He patted her leg.
"Thanks." Lindsay leant back against the pillows as he left.

"How's Lindsay doing?" Stella inquired.
"I'm guessing she's trying to convince her parents that New York is a safe place but she wants them to leave about now." Hawkes replied. "I checked her test results she'll be fine and hopefully get a decent nights sleep."
"Good."
"How's it going here?" Hawkes inquired.
"The paper is a type that is available everywhere, no watermark, as is the envelope. The ink is standard ballpoint pen ink. Not prints, no DNA, no nothing."
"This guy is really a ghost." Hawkes stated.
"The best we have to go on is the description Lindsay had in a flash back, which was confirmed by Jackie. Brown gloves, hat and coat with a long grey beard."
"Sounds like a guy who thinks he's God crossed with a flasher who decided to turn into a serial killer."
"Why don't you run that by the FBI?" Stella suggested. "Flack just called they are on their way over."
