"You're full of surprises Montana." Danny said as she returned to join him.

"Someone has to keep you on your toes. Vic's name is Scott Adams 32. He teaches ASL at the local deaf centre. He had lunch with his girlfriend and sister yesterday and was planning on going out with friends last night. He usually calls his girlfriend before she goes to bed and meets her in front of her building so they can walk to work together." She told Mac.

"He's been dead about 8 hours at least." Mac stated.

"So do you speak any other languages since Mac won't let me read your personnel file?" Danny inquired.

"Only English, Spanish and ASL fluently." Lindsay replied.

"Lindsay process around the body, Danny let's go and take a look around."

"So what else don't I know about you?" Danny asked as they ate ice-cream as they walked back towards the lab after lunch.

"All manner of things, just like there are lots of things I don't know about you yet." Lindsay replied. "That's the fun part of relationships learning about the other person. Things come out eventually."

"Any deep dark secrets I should know about?"

"Not that I can think of." Lindsay replied. "Well nothing bad anyway."

"So you have good deep dark secrets?" Danny asked.

"There are probably some things you'd rather I didn't know about either."

"True."

Danny's cell phone rang.

"Messer." He answered. "Yeah, we're right outside Mac, we'll be there in a couple minutes." He hung up. "Mac found something."

"I guess that's it for the ice-cream." Lindsay dumped hers into the trash can.

"I guess so. But I'm sure we can come up with some interesting ideas for the ice-cream in your freezer." Danny whispered into her ear.

Lindsay blushed.

"You know you look cute when you blush Montana."

"I've heard that before." Lindsay said. "Let's get back to work."

"You know every time I've seen you today you're blushing." Stella told Lindsay.

"I'm this close to assault a police officer." Lindsay sighed.

"What's Danny been doing?"

"He keeps saying things that make me blush and he's getting worse."

"Mac could have a discussion with him about proper work etiquette." Stella suggested.

"I can handle it."

"Or the other option is to make him blush worse." Stella told her.

"And how exactly would I do that?" Lindsay asked.

Stella stepped closer and whispered something to her.

"I'll never look at you the same again." Lindsay stated slightly shocked.

"You grow up in a city you learn how to shock a guy pretty early on."

"If a guy had a bad heart he'd probably keel over."

"I think Danny's heart is just fine." Stella winked at her. "I have to get back."

"Thanks Stella."

Lindsay continued to work.

It was another hour before she saw Danny again.

"I got the results back on that fibre; it's consistent with the carpet in his apartment." Danny told her.

"So he sat on his floor." Lindsay guessed. "Or picked his pants up that he'd dropped on the floor.

"Looks that way." Danny replied. "How's it going here?"

"I'm just going to pick up some results from trace."

Danny whispered something in her ear.

Lindsay blushed for a second and then whispered a slightly amended version of what Stella suggested.

Danny's eyes bugged and he ran a finger around his collar.

"See you later." Lindsay told him. She smiled as she left.

"You okay Danny?" Hawkes asked a minute later when he stumbled around him.

"I think Lindsay just won that round." Danny sighed.

"Round of what?" Hawkes was confused.

"Never mind."
