"So does anyone want to go for a drink?" Lindsay asked at the end of the day when she finally caught up with people.

"You want to go for a drink?" Danny questioned.

"Don dropped by to see if I recognised anyone in a photo line up after they got a suspect for the guy in the coat. He wants to get a drink and told me to invite everyone else."

"I'm in." Hawkes stated.

"Sounds good to me." Stella agreed. "I'll go and drag Mac out of his office."

"Danny?"

"If everyone else is going." He shrugged.

"The usual place." Lindsay told them.

CSI NY CSI NY

"I'll buy the first round." Lindsay offered. "What does everyone want?"

Lindsay took a mental note.

"I'll come with you." Stella offered.

The two women went up to the bar while the guys grabbed a booth.

"You seem in a good mood." Stella commented.

"I managed to actually get out of going straight home which is always good."

"What can I get you ladies?" The bartender came over to them.

"Three beers, a club soda." Lindsay told him.

"Can I get a Virgin Raspberry Daiquiri?" Stella requested.

"I'll take a Merlin's Treat." Lindsay added.

"I'll have to look that one up."

"2oz mango juice, 1oz pineapple juice, 1oz orange juice, 1/2oz strawberry syrup. Mix that all together, pour over an ice filled wine glass and add 2oz of dry ginger ale. Add seasonal fruit and serve with grated nutmeg and straws." Lindsay replied.

"Okay." The bartender took her word for it.

"I was a cocktail waitress for a while in college." Lindsay explained to Stella.

"Right. Not drinking anything stronger?"

"I lost twenty hours; I'd rather not loose any more memories."

"Sensible." Stella agreed.

Lindsay paid for the drinks and they carried them over.

"What is it with women and cocktails?" Flack asked.

"What's wrong with cocktails?" Stella inquired.

"You shouldn't mix your spirits." Flack stated.

"It's a virgin daiquiri. I think I'll be okay."

Lindsay pulled one of the two straws out of her drink and pushed it towards him.

"Try it. It's called a Merlin's treat."

"You want me to try your drink?" Flack questioned.

"You wondered what it was about cocktails try it." She prompted.

"This I have to see." Danny joked.

"Okay." Flack took a sip. "It tastes of mango and ginger ale."

"Because that's basically what it is." Lindsay replied. "There isn't any alcohol in it. You can get a drink that tastes good without getting drunk."

"Lindsay used to be a cocktail waitress." Stella told them.

"You were a cocktail waitress?" Danny questioned.

"For about six months in college." Lindsay replied. "Tips helped cover some of the bills that my scholarship didn't cover."

"You're full of surprises." Hawkes stated.

"Mac knew." Lindsay pointed out.

"I've read your personnel file." Mac countered. "I know a lot of things."

"This should be interesting." Flack sat back.

"She speaks fluent Spanish."

"Why don't we just leave it at that?" Lindsay suggested. "The rest will come out when necessary."

"You speak Spanish?" Danny asked.

"Ranch hands." Lindsay shrugged. "I can cuss in six languages."

"A useful skill."

"I have a friend who can speak Kligon." Lindsay pointed out.

"Useful at Star Trek conventions." Hawkes took a sip of his beer.
