"You know we didn't have to leave."

"It was getting late." Lindsay shrugged. "And I'm on call after midnight."

"That's just stupid."

"Hey it's was the way things played out so we could get the night off and tomorrow afternoon off for the game." Lindsay shrugged. "Don't make me put you into a wall." She teased.

"Sounds like fun." He stepped back against the wall, and tugged her arms so she was pressed up against him. "So what are you going to do to me now you've got me here?"

"You're incorrigible." Lindsay smiled.

"You say that like it's a bad thing." He said as his lips captured hers.

"Definitely not a bad thing."

"Monroe." Lindsay answered her cell a few hours later. "Yeah I'll be there in twenty minutes."

"Work?" Danny asked waking from his doze.

"Botched bodega robbery." Lindsay replied. "I've got to go." She gave him a quick kiss.

"Want me to bring you breakfast?"

"Sounds good." Lindsay agreed.

"Be careful." Danny told her.

"I know more people than you'd think get injured getting dressed but I think I'll be okay."

"You know what I meant."

"I'll be careful. I'll see you later."

"Hey Stella." Lindsay said when she arrived at the crime scene.

"Sorry for calling you out." Stella told her.

"It's all part of the job." Lindsay shrugged.

"Did you have a good time with your brother?"

"Yes and everyone was still standing at the end of the night."

"How did you manage that?" Stella inquired.

"I told Clay that I would borrow the PA system at the game and spout his deep dark secrets out for the world to hear."

"Interesting threat."

"It worked." Lindsay shrugged. "And they got to ask their all important question."

"When can they meet the cheerleaders?" Stella guessed.

"That's the one."

"What is it with men and cheerleaders?"

"The short skirts and tight tops." Lindsay replied. "Did you know Marty's half sister doesn't approve of what he does? She thinks he's desecrating bodies."

"He puts them back together." Stella pointed out.

"He says she's a little weird."

"You might want to put on some overalls and some boots." Stella suggested.

"What happened?"

"According to witnesses the guy came in tried to buy something but didn't have enough money so went a little crazy and threw everything off the shelves when the owner went to call 911 the guy pulled out a gun and demanded all the money, the owner sprayed him in the eyes with mace and the gun went off. The owner is at the hospital with a gun shot wound to the shoulder he should be fine, the suspect fled."

"Have we got an APB out for a guy with mace in his face?"

"We have all the hospitals on alert." Stella confirmed. "Why don't you start with pictures?"

"I can manage that." Lindsay agreed. "What about surveillance cameras?"

"Too expensive."

It took hours to process the bodega.

"I smell like pasta sauce." Lindsay sighed when they finally reached the lab.

"I know what you mean. It's making me hungry."

"Danny's going to bring breakfast by later." Lindsay told her.

"What brought that on?"

"He was half asleep when he offered." Lindsay replied.

"That explains it." Stella smiled. "I'm going to check all this into evidence and then take a quick shower before we start processing."

"Works for me." Lindsay agreed.
