Lindsay woke up to the sound of the phone ringing incessantly.
"Monroe." She grabbed the phone still half asleep.
"Monnnnnnnnntannnnnnnnnaaaaaaaaaa." She heard loudly in her ear.
"Danny?"
"I love you."
"God you're drunk." Lindsay sat up.
"A little bit."
"Are you all drunk?"
"They took the keys." Danny admitted.
"Good." Lindsay sighed. "Where are you?"
Danny named a bar.
"Stay where you are, I'll be there as soon as I can." She threw back the covers and started climbing out of bed.
"Thank you."
Lindsay hung up and started getting dressed.

Lindsay walked into the bar and looked around until she spotted them in a booth in the back. She strode over.
"Lindsay!" Hawkes announced.
"Don't any of you know any better?" Lindsay asked crossing her arms.
"You want to join us?" Marty inquired offering her his glass.
"No, I'm going to take you all home and you're all going to sleep it off and have bad hangovers since you're all due at work by 8 tomorrow." She turned on her heel and walked over to the bar.
"What can I get you?" The bartender asked.
"Nothing." Lindsay replied. "You took their car keys? I'm going to take them home."
"One of them actually handed them to me after their second drink and told me not to give them back." The bartender corrected.
"I'm here to take them home." She flashed him her ID.
"They called a cop to take them home?" The bartender questioned.
"Two of them are cops and the other two are doctors. They should all know better."
He grabbed the keys from behind the bar and handed them to her.
"Do you need some help getting them to the car?" He inquired.
"No I'm good thanks. Do you they owe anything?"
"No they covered their bill."
"Thank you." She pushed away from the bar and walked back to the table. "Okay let's go."
"What?" Danny asked.
Lindsay simply grabbed all the glasses and set them on another empty table.
"No drinks, time to go."
Lindsay managed to get them all out of the bar and to where they had parked the car.
She dropped Hawkes and Marty off first and then went to Flack's apartment.
She accompanied him upstairs to make sure he got inside alright and wrote a note.
"I'm taking your car, I'll drive it to the lab tomorrow and you can come and pick it up." She told him.
"Okay." He was too drunk to care.
Lindsay left after making sure he was lying on the couch.
Danny was still sat in the car.
"Why did you have to get so drunk?" Lindsay asked.
"Why not?"
"It kills your liver." She stated. "You can't stand up straight by yourself..." She paused. "Do I need to continue?"
"No."

"What did you do to Danny and Hawkes?" Stella inquired the next morning.
"I didn't do anything to them, they did it to themselves. Flack and Marty will be as bad. They decided to go out after the game and all got drunk. I went home to get some sleep until Danny called me to go and pick them up, which is why I have Flack's car and keys."
"At least they didn't attempt to drive home."
"Flack gave his car keys to the bartender after he'd had his second drink." Lindsay explained.
"At least they were responsible."
"I could have done without the drunken phone call."
"So how loud were you this morning?" Stella inquired.
"I put headphones on Danny and cranked the volume up and played Achy Breaky Heart. I don't think he likes Billy Ray Cyrus."
"That's his fault, he should know better than getting drunk when they have to be at work early the next morning."
