The building began to refill with people with the exception of two areas it was back to work as usual.

Mac and Stella processed Lindsay and Danny's office and the ballistics lab.

"Detective Taylor?" A man in a dark suit approached the taped off room.

"Yes."

"Special Agent Howard FBI." He showed Mac his ID. "I've been informed that you had an IED sent to one of your detectives in the mail."

"Yes. The return address is the crime lab in Jackson."

"Mississippi?" Howard questioned. "Do they know anyone there?"

"No and I called them they have no idea who sent it."

"What can you tell me about the IED?"

"It was unstable, a wire had come loose which is why it started smoking rather than exploding like it was intended to do. She also dumped it in water which short circuited the rest of it so it didn't explode. The bomb squad gave us the all clear."

"I'm going to need to talk to Detective…" He paused.

"Monroe." Mac supplied.

"Detective Monroe."

"She's in a café down the street with Detectives Flack and Messer. She went through decontamination just in case and is obviously cold due to the temperature outside."

"I take it you're going to want to process the evidence."

"We have the facilities." Mac said. "And it will be quicker than taking it to your lab."

"Here's my number." He handed Mac his card. "Call me if you find anything before I get back."

"Of course."

"An FBI Agent is on his way over here to talk to you." Flack told Lindsay as he sat down after getting off the phone with Mac.

"Great." Lindsay muttered.

"It will all work out fine." Danny squeezed her hand.

"So what are you doing for Thanksgiving?" Lindsay asked hoping to change the subject temporarily.

"Dinner with the parents." Flack replied. "What about you?"

"I have to work." Lindsay stated.

"How did you manage to get lumbered with working Thanksgiving?" Flack inquired.

"I want to go home for a few days over Christmas, so I told Mac I'd work Thanksgiving and New Years. I get four days off."

"Are you going too?" Flack asked Danny.

"I wasn't invited." Danny replied.

"I just assumed you were doing something with your family." Lindsay said. "If you can get the time off I'd love it if you want to come and see Montana."

"I'll talk to Mac."

"Just don't get lost in the boondocks." Flack joked.

"It's not that bad." Lindsay insisted. "As long as we don't get snowed in."

"I guess you don't have nice trucks to plough the streets."

"Oh we have snowploughs we also got a lot of snow days. There's great skiing."

"Skiing?" Danny repeated.

"Bozeman is in a valley." Lindsay explained. "I'll break you in gently try a sled."

"Sounds fun." Danny said not with great enthusiasm.

"He doesn't get out of the city much." Flack told her.

"Trust me it will be nice to be back where someone isn't murdered every day."

"What's that like?" Flack inquired.

"Slow work for a homicide detective." Lindsay replied. "I'm going to the bathroom before that guy gets here. Can you get me some more tea?"

"Sure." Danny replied.
