"Hold the elevator." Flack called.
A hand stuck out to stop the doors closing.
"Thanks." Flack replied.
"No problem." Danny told him.
"How was court?"
"Not too bad. Although the guy has an inbuilt reason for appeal. Inadequate counsel. The guy was a serious idiot."
"You did your part; it's up to the jury now." Flack shrugged. "So what did you do?"
"About what?" Danny inquired.
"Lindsay."
"What about her?" Danny was a little confused.
"I'm reliably informed men don't send women a hundred bucks worth of flowers for no reason."
"One I've never spent a hundred bucks on flowers in my life and two I didn't do anything."
"But you did send her flowers didn't you?" Flack asked.
"Yes."
"She and Stella have spent all day trying to figure out what you did."
"I didn't do anything." Danny stated.
"Then why send her flowers?"
"Why not?" Danny shrugged.
"So she's been driving herself crazy all day for no reason?"
"Maybe I should go and talk to her." Danny stated. "See you later."
When Danny finally caught up with Lindsay she was in their office on the phone looking at the flowers while she had a debate, her back was too him.
Danny leant against the door frame waiting for her to hang up.
"You know you could sit down." Lindsay said when she hung up.
"How did you know I was here?"
"The way I normally do." She paused. "And your reflection in the monitor."
"Like the flowers?" Danny asked.
"They're beautiful. Why did you send them?"
"Flack says you've been trying to figure it out all day."
"You don't send me flowers. Like I told you before it's suspicious behaviour."
"It couldn't just be because I haven't seen you for a few days because we've been on different shifts and the court case moved up and I thought it was a nice gesture."
"You couldn't have put that on the card rather than 'They have Bitterroot in New York. Who knew?'" Lindsay inquired.
"I see you figured it out."
"We'd figured it out before Hawkes came and told me your message."
"Well you have to work for your flowers." He teased.
"Not funny."
"Sorry." He apologised. "Court was pushed back half an hour so I took a walk and the florist had Bitterroot, they didn't look right by themselves so I had her add in some roses, which are the state flower of New York."
"Stella mentioned that."
"It still didn't look right so we added the rest." He shrugged.
"They're beautiful."
"So are you."
"Now you're just trying to stop me being annoyed you sent me flowers."
"Don't you think getting annoyed your boyfriend sent you flowers is a little strange?" Danny asked.
"If you're sending me flowers in future stick to anniversaries or birthdays."
"What about valentine's day?"
"That will work too." Lindsay replied.
"Okay. No more flowers."
"But you could take me to Coney Island to make up for it."
"You want to me to take you to Brooklyn?" Danny questioned. "To make up for me sending you flowers."
"I was watching this thing on roller coasters and the Cyclone was on their top ten list. I'd totally forgotten it was only in Brooklyn."
"I see."
"I'll pay; I just want you to come with me."
"Sure. As long as you buy me dinner." Danny replied.
"I think I can handle that."
