"Hey Danny." Flack caught up with him at the end of the day.
"Hey." Danny replied.
"Want to go and grab a drink?"
"Sure. I have no idea what time Stella is bringing Lindsay home." Danny shrugged.

"You know there were bars a lot closer to the lab we could have gone to." Danny said as they went in.
"This one seemed appropriate." Flack told him as he pointed out the group of women sat at a booth across the room.
"Stella will personally kill you." Danny warned him.
"Hopefully not in front of witnesses." Flack replied. "And it would be a shame not say to hello."
The guys walked over.
"Hey ladies." Don said.
Danny kissed the top of Lindsay's head.
"You know my husband might object to that." Lindsay commented.
"I won't tell him if you don't." Danny smiled.
"What are you doing here?"
"Don wanted to get a beer." Danny replied. "He picked the place."
"It's okay; I called him and invited them here." Stella explained.
"Ladies are we ready for another round?" The waitress came over.
"Sure." Stella replied. "We're up to S."
"Sex on the Beach." The waitress suggested. Danny and Flack looked at each other.
"So we have Safe Sex on the Beach which has cranberry juice, grapefruit juice, peach nectar and a cherry or Virgin Sex on the Beach which is orange juice, cranberry juice, peach nectar and grenadine syrup." Lindsay supplied.
Stella looked at the other women.
"Just split it down the middle four of each." Stella told her.
"And do you want anything?" She asked Danny and Flack.
"Two beers make sure they are alcoholic." Flack told him.
"So how is my favourite brother-in-law?" A voice asked from behind Danny after the waitress went to get their drinks.
"I'm your only brother-in-law." Danny turned around. "And I'm fine. How are you doing Becky?"
"I'm good."
"How's the whole professor thing working out for you?"
"It's an adjustment." Becky replied. "Ask me again after finals."
"What are you doing here anyway?" Danny inquired.
"You think I'd miss my sister's bachelorette party."
"So what have you ladies been up today?" Flack asked as he pulled up a seat.
"We went rock climbing." One of the techs supplied.
"In January?"
"Indoor climbing wall." Lindsay supplied.
"Ice skating in Rockefeller Centre."
"Saw a movie near Times Square."
"Had manicures and pedicures." Another added.
"Now you're not getting drunk in a bar?" Flack guessed.
"I couldn't decide what to do, so we did everything." Stella shrugged. "And there is some alcohol involved we're just pacing ourselves."
"Here you go ladies." The waitress came and gave them their drinks. "Stella are we almost ready?"
"Give it five minutes." She requested.
"Sure."
Five minutes later, a guy walked up to the microphone on the stage.
"Good evening everyone and welcome to karaoke night."
Danny and Flack looked at Stella who shrugged.
"We have our first volunteers." The guy continued. "Detective Don Flack and Detective Danny Messer. So please give it up for two of NYPD's finest."
"Stella I'm going to kill you." Flack muttered.
"Is it really a good idea to say that in front of this many people who work for NYPD?" Becky asked.
"It's been an expensive day, we needed some free entertainment." Stella shrugged.
