"So do you want to fill me in on the situation?" Gears asked Hawkes.

"With Maya, we're still waiting for Lindsay to get back from talking to Sid."

"I meant with Lindsay and Detective Messer."

"Oh that situation. They're together. Have been for about six months now." Hawkes replied.

"And your boss is okay with that?"

"It's not a problem so he's fine with it. They live together, they managed to survive the whole meet the family thing and if you spend more than five minutes with them together you know that they balance each other out. You also learn to ignore the fact that he calls her Montana, it started out as a joke and turned into a term of endearment."

"She said something about a bomb."

"She got send one in the mail yesterday, and was lucky it didn't go off in her face."

"And she's back at work today?" Gears questioned.

"She was back at work yesterday afternoon." Hawkes corrected. "She deals with it in her own way and then gets on with her job; she leaves all the worrying and over protectiveness to Danny. We've all got her back. Just like we were all there when she a serial killer dosed her with Rohypnol at a crime scene a few months back and she lost twenty hours."

"The guy who cut the people's heads off?"

"That's him. She was first on the scene and put it all together. He even sent her a note. The FBI are investigating that too."

"Right."

"There you both are." Lindsay walked in.

"What did Sid have to say?" Hawkes inquired.

"He confirmed she died between ten and midnight."

"Which we knew."

"And that she died of a broken neck."

"Which we also knew." Gears said.

"But her neck was broken because someone forcibly twisted her head. Sid says she was dead before she fell down the stairs."

"So we're looking for a murderer." Gears stated.

"She was also pregnant."

"No one I talked to mentioned a boyfriend."

"You don't have to have a boyfriend to get pregnant." Lindsay pointed out. "Hell these days you don't need a man at all."

"The purse." Hawkes said.

"My thoughts exactly." Lindsay agreed.

"Would someone care to explain?" Gears asked.

"Her purse is missing; someone killed her pushed her down the stairs so it looked like an accident and if that didn't work took her purse so it would look like a robbery."

"So it was probably someone she knew."

"They are checking for DNA from under her fingernails." Lindsay stated.

"I'll go and chase up anymore information I can find on him." Gears said.

"We've got her computer I'll take a look who she has been talking too." Lindsay said.

"Let me know if you find anything." Gears requested and then left.

"He was asking questions about you and Danny." Hawkes told her. "Has he even met Danny?"

"I introduced them before I went to talk to Sid. The face that Danny kissed me on the forehead and told me to call him if there was a problem probably didn't help."

"Why would Danny do that if he's going to be around?" Hawkes inquired.

"He and Flack went out to Long Island for some reason for the rest of the day, so Danny came to ask if I wanted to go and see a movie."

"A movie?"

"I told him I didn't want to see an action film so he said we could see anything I wanted including a chick flick."

"You're going to make him see the sappiest movie you can find aren't you?" Hawkes guessed.

"He managed to survive watching Beaches and Steel Magnolias with me I think he'll be fine." Lindsay assured him.

"It will probably do you good to get out for the night."

"We already had a conversation about him remembering just because we live together doesn't mean he still doesn't have to go out on dates."

"True."

"I'll go and check her computer." Lindsay stated.

"I'll finish going over her clothes and get her phone records and cross reference them with her address book."

"Sounds like a plan." Lindsay agreed.
