A/N: Make sure you read the last post which i posted last night first.
Lindsay and Danny sat in the back of the courtroom while they wait for Jenna's turn to be arraigned to be up.
Lindsay slipped her hand into Danny's and smiled at him when he squeezed her hand.
"I know a good Italian place near here when we're done." Lindsay whispered to him.
"How do you know a good Italian place?"
"I went out a couple times with a lawyer when I first moved here." Lindsay replied.
"You never mentioned that." Danny told her.
"It never came up."
"Docket number 9763892 People vs. Jenna Morgan. One count violation of a restraining order. One count possession of an illegal unregistered firearm. One count possession of a concealed weapon."
"How does your client plead Mr Gilbert?" The judge asked.
"Not guilty." Jenna replied.
"People on bail?" The judge asked.
"We ask that she be held without bail your Honour." Howard Stackhouse from the DA's office requested.
"Come on your Honour." Gilbert protested.
"Your Honour." Stackhouse started. "This isn't the first time Miss Morgan has stalked Detective Messer, she did it three years ago as well and it's not just Detective Messer she's stalking. She's also been stalking Detective Monroe."
"Your Honour my client isn't a danger." Gilbert told the judge.
"Your Honour she carried an unregistered firearm, which was in a drive by in Brooklyn five years ago. She carried this weapon concealed to a crime scene at which Detective Messer was working."
"Your Honour my client had nothing to do with the drive by and carrying a weapon was a stupid mistaking."
"She could have injured someone else if she had fired it." Stackhouse stated.
"Your Honour she is not a flight risk." Gilbert stated.
"Your Honour, three years ago officers went to arrest Miss Morgan for violating the restraining order Detective Messer had against her then only to find out that her parents had sent her to a psychiatric institution out of state. We were going to uphold the warrant for her arrest, but Detective Messer asked us to drop the charges since she was getting help."
"Your Honour…." Gilbert started.
"That's enough." The judge said. "Bail is denied. We can't have people stalking police officers stopping them from doing their jobs, especially when these stalkers have guns. I'm also recommending that Miss Morgan be given a psychiatric evaluation."
"Your Honour." Gilbert protested.
"Mr Gilbert that's it. Detectives Messer and Monroe work for the crime lab so it would be a good guess that the People have plenty of evidence against your client." He banged the gavel. "Next."
The bailiffs dragged Jenna off.
"So what do you say we blow this popsicle stand?" Lindsay said in a bad New York accent.
"Babe, promise never to try that again." Danny kissed the top of her head.
"Babe?" Lindsay questioned as they left the court room.
"It sounded… appropriate." Danny shrugged.
"Promise never to try that again." Lindsay requested.
"Okay." Danny agreed. "I think I was promised dinner."
"You were." Lindsay paused. "You never mentioned that you had the charges dropped against her last time."
"She was in psychiatric hospital, I thought she'd get help and I'd never hear from her again. I guess I was wrong."
"So do you want to go and see a movie after dinner?" Lindsay inquired.
"Sounds like a date, I'd have to consult my wife."
"I'm sure she'd be okay with it." Lindsay smiled.
"So how come you never told me you dated a lawyer?"
"Danny do you really want to hear a list of every man I ever went out with anymore than I want to hear a list of every woman you've been out with?"
"Probably not."
"If it helps any we only went out twice, I had this co-worker who was just annoying enough to get under my skin."
"I'll take that as a compliment." Danny kissed her.
"If I hadn't turned up at your apartment that night morning." She queried. "Would you ever have made a move?"
"I was just waiting for the right time." Danny admitted.
"It's a good thing country girls aren't backwards about coming forwards."
