"Here you go Lindsay." Stella handed her a bag.

"Thank you." Lindsay took it from her.

"Your change." She set it on the table.

"It comes to something when you have to have some else go out and by your gift wrap for you." Lindsay sighed.

"Hopefully it won't be for much longer." Stella tried to sound optimistic.

"Honestly do you think this guy is coming after me?" Lindsay inquired.

"No, I think he's long gone by now."

"Do you think you can convince Mac and Danny of that? I'm starting to get cabin fever."

"You get to go Danny's father's birthday party tonight." Stella pointed out.

"It beats Danny's objection to me opening my front door."

"They are only doing it because they want to make sure nothing happens to you."

"Apart from driving me crazy." Lindsay sighed.

"In a couple weeks they'll ease up."

"This guy isn't going to do this just once, he's going to go somewhere else charm people and do this again." Lindsay stated.

"I know, the FBI thinks so to."

"I'd better get the gift wrapped before my break is over."

"You know you should get Danny to wrap it." Stella suggested.

"I've seen Danny try to wrap things before it's not pretty."

"Hey Mac." Stella caught up with him.

"Stella."

"Is there any way you can ease up slightly on Lindsay?" Stella asked.

"Is there a problem?" Mac inquired.

"She's getting cabin fever. She comes to work stays stuck in the lab then Danny marches her and keeps her in her apartment. Tonight she actually gets to go out for once and that's only because it's Danny's father's birthday party."

"I never said couldn't go out I just told her she had to take someone with her."

"Exactly she doesn't want to take anyone else away from doing their job just because she wants to go to lunch." Stella pointed out.

"It's for her own protection."

"Mac, not even the FBI believes he's still in town. It's been four days since he sent her the note."

"She still gets protection on the off chance this lunatic is still around."

"I don't think the FBI used the word lunatic." Stella reminded him.

"We'll re-evaluate the situation in a week but for now this is how it's got to be."

"Could you at least ease up about letting her go to the morgue, it's in this building?"

"Fine as long as she lets someone know she's headed down there."

"Hey Danny have you seen Lindsay?" Hawkes asked walking into Danny and Lindsay's office.

"Not for a few hours. Why?"

"I've been looking for her and I can't find her anywhere."

Danny pulled his cell phone off his belt and hit speed dial.

"Monroe." Lindsay answered.

"Hey Montana. Where are you?"

"On the roof."

"The roof?" Danny questioned.

"I'm getting some fresh air since I can't go outside."

"Stay where you are." Danny told her before he hung up.

When Danny and Hawkes made it up to the roof Lindsay was sat there talking to Marty.

"Hey Montana. You're not supposed to leave." Danny pointed out.

"Mac changed it so I was allowed in the building as long as someone knows where I am going. He also I had to have someone with me, you count as someone right Marty?"

"Last time I checked." Marty agreed.

"I think Mac had a cop in mind." Danny pointed.

"I'm a cop and I can shoot just fine if necessary. There was a problem in DNA they had to re-run your samples so it will be another hour before you can have the results." Lindsay informed Hawkes. "Since I didn't have much else to do and Marty was taking a break we came up here to get some air."
