Lindsay and Becky were laughing hysterically when Lindsay's cell phone rang.
"Can you?" She shoved it across the table to Marty.
"Lindsay Monroe's phone." Marty answered.
"Pino?"
"Hey Danny."
"I thought you were in Hawaii until tomorrow."
"The conference finished early and that much sunshine in November is too much."
"Why are you answering Lindsay's phone?" Danny asked realising that he wasn't speaking to his girlfriend.
"Listen." Marty held out the phone so he could hear them laughing.
"What's so funny?"
"I honestly don't know. It must be a Montana thing." Marty guessed.
"Why are you with Lindsay?"
"Becky invited me to have lunch with them." Marty explained. "Do you want me to give Lindsay a message when she calms down?"
"Just tell her I'll see her at the lab."
"Okay. Bye." Marty hung up and pushed the phone back across the table. "Danny says he'll see you at the lab."
"Thanks." Lindsay replied still laughing.

"You talk to her?" Flack asked as he came to join Danny who was leaning against the car.
"No, apparently she and Becky have some Montana joke that is hysterical and so I talked to Marty."
"As in Pino?"
"Yeah." Danny confirmed.
"I thought he was at some medical examiners conference in Hawaii."
"He's back."
"He only got to go after he and Sid tossed a coin."
"It ended early." Danny shrugged. "But I'd say she's fine."

"Hey Danny." Lindsay said as she walked towards him.
"Hey. So what was so funny you couldn't answer the phone?"
"My cousin Wilbur."
"You have a cousin Wilbur?"
"Well he's technically not family, he's my godfather's son." Lindsay explained. "Marty said something that reminded us of something Wilbur did when we were kids."
"Right." Danny still didn't know what Wilbur did.
"Becky is bringing Matt home for Christmas."
"I guess that won't make me such an easy target."
"Don't worry she's feeling the need to confess to everything."
"Define everything." Danny requested.
"Helping out the FBI, the fact that Harvard offered her an assistant professorship starting in January."
"That's great news."
"That's not the big news." Lindsay told him.
"What tops getting an assistant professorship?" Danny inquired.
"She and Matt are getting married."
"Your parents don't know that they're dating and now they are getting married?" Danny questioned.
"Yep." Lindsay smiled. "Her ring is at least a carat and a half."
"She shouldn't wear that around the streets."
"I already mentioned it to her." Lindsay acknowledged. "I've got to go."
"Go?" Danny asked.
"I'm meeting Bryan downstairs."
"Bryan?" Danny questioned.
"Detective Gears? You meet him yesterday." Lindsay explained. "We're going to talk to our vics ex-boyfriend. I'll see you later."
"Okay bye." Danny didn't know what else to say as she dashed off.
