They all entered the club, they checked their coats.
The music echoed through out the place.
"Salsa music?" Mac questioned.
"The band is only here for the night." Stella explained.
"You like salsa music Sid?" Mac inquired.
"Love it."
"This was all Sid's idea." Lindsay explained.
"So just relax, let your hair down." Stella told him.
Mac raised his eyebrows.
"Do you want to dance Miss Monroe?" Sid asked Lindsay.
"I'd love to." Lindsay took his hand.
"Is there something more to this than you're letting on?" Mac asked Stella.
"It's the first night she would have been home alone since the bomb." Stella pointed out. "But then again we agreed to this before the whole bomb thing came up."
"And making me come?"
"Did you really want to leave us alone with Sid for the whole night?" Stella inquired. "Let's dance."
"I not sure I know how to Salsa that well." Mac admitted.
"Don't worry you'll be an expert by the end of the night." Stella assured him.
CSI CSI
Stella and Lindsay were sat on stools at a table sipping soda through straws watching Sid and Mac dance with two of the other female patrons.
"Excuse me." The waitress came over. "The gentlemen at the bar sent this over for you." She set a drink in front of Lindsay.
"Can you take it back to him and tell him thanks but no thanks?"
"That's what you want me to tell him?" The waitress was a little surprised.
"Tell him I don't accept drinks from strange men in bars and my boyfriend wouldn't like it."
"Sure." She put the drink back on her tray. "Have a nice evening."
"And you break the poor guy's heart." Stella joked.
"You know as well as I do why you shouldn't accept drinks from strange men in bars because you don't know what they have put in them and you know the consequences. Getting dosed with Rohypnol once is enough for one life time. I'd rather not take the risk and I definitely don't want to try GBH."
"And the part about Danny?"
"You have to let the guy down gently." Lindsay shrugged. "And do you think he'd approve of guys buying me drinks in bars?"
"Good point."
"Not that Danny gets a say in that although he does have a slight jealous streak."
"As long as it just stays a jealous streak you'll be fine."
The song finished and Mac and Sid returned to join them.
"You looked like you were having fun out there." Stella commented.
"What do they say 'that the rhythm is going to get you'?" Sid guessed.
"I think that's a line from a song." Lindsay pointed out.
"It's still true."
"I'm going to get us some more drinks." Lindsay hopped off her stool and walked over to the bar. "Four club sodas with lime." She told the bartender.
"My drink not good enough for you?" A man walked over to her.
"It was nice of you to send it over, but I don't accept drinks from men I don't know." Lindsay replied.
"But you'll accept them from the old men you're with?" He asked.
"Well that's Detective Taylor." She pointed out Mac. "He's my boss, and that's Detective Bonasera and that is Dr Hammerback with the Officer of the Medical Examiner. I'm Detective Monroe."
"And the boyfriend comment?"
"My boyfriend is a detective too; he just had to work tonight." Lindsay explained. "Thanks keep the change." She handed the bartender some money. "And for future reference with all the creeps out there who are willing to put something in a woman's drink when you offer to buy her a drink give her the money and let her buy it herself so that she knows that you're not a creep who is going to drug her and date rape her. Have a nice evening."
Lindsay picked up her drinks and walked back to the table.
"Everything okay?" Stella inquired.
"Just explaining why I don't accept drinks from people I don't know." Lindsay sat back on her seat.
