Lindsay squinted her eyes at the bright sun shining through the window.
SHe blinked, stretched her arms, and sighed.
Last night was amazing, but surely the only reason he had kissed was because they were way drunk.
At that moment she jumped out of bed and grabbed her bedside clock.
10 minutes until she was late!
Lindsay quickly changed and grabbed her stuff, rushing out of the door and to the lab.
_
Danny was up by 5, not being able to sleep after the kiss.
His heart still jumped at the thought of it.
He took a shower, made breakfast, and got ready with only one thought: HER.
He glanced at his watch and smiled.
Danny walked out of the door with a skip in his step, gleaming the whole way to work.
_
Lindsay practically ran into the lab, out of breath.
She grabbed her lab coat and pulled out the file on the old cold case they were working on.
She walked out into the hall to grab some evidence, when she saw Danny.
Lindsay stopped and turned around to aviod him, when he came up behind her.
"Morning Montana!" he said cheerfully.
"Hi Danny..." she murmured and quickened her pace.
"Hey you're working on the Rewing's case, too, right?"
"Um yeah I was just about to go get some evidence" she stopped then to look at him.
His famous smirk grew on his face, and she tried, unsuccessfully to hide a smile.
"Need any help?" he asked kindly.
"No, not really I was just..." he interupted her:
"Okay, let's go find our perp" he smiled and began walking toward the evidence garage.
She laughed a little and wondered if he might of forgotten about last night.
She had expected Danny to be akward, them both knowing that it was just a mistake.
But as Lindsay followed him, she couldn't help but but think he was a really good kisser...
_
Danny grabbed the bags from the shelf and handed one to her.
They set them on the lab table and he sighed.
"What is it?" she asked not taking her eyes from the bags.
"I don't know it's just that I've checked all of these for something, anything really, and I can't seem to find any clue"
Danny glanced at her and she looked up at him, her eyes determined.
"WE will find something!" She smiled and turned back at the evidence and began opening the bags.
Danny watched her, and beamed at the way she said "we".
_
He looked through the microscope at a thread that was found on the victim.
Danny settled back in to his chair, turned his eyes to her, and shook his head.
"God damnit, Danny. There has to be something!" she pouted, dissapointed.
SHe was frowning, exasperated with the case when and idea came to her.
She turned to Danny, who smiled.
"I know that face, Montana! What've you got?
"Well, I think that if we reexamine the polymers found on the bag they will match the thread, only the thread's died a different color,
giving us the date and the time of the murder, and maybe we can findout the different color dies to match a company and..."
Danny threw his arms up and smiled at Lindsay.
She patted herself on the back and turned to do her experiment.
They continued to work, but every 5 minutes or so, Danny would look at her and smile.
Her heart lept when he did so and she smiled back at him.
After the experiment was done, the results were as they expected and the hurried to go tell Mac.
"Mac!" Lindsay called when they saw him down the hall.
"Lindsay's got somethin' on that cold case" Danny jogged up to him.
"Ya we decided to compare the..." She started when a loud explosion came from the window.
"Get down!" Mac yelled over the noise.
All of the sudden the glass walls around them started to shatter and they could hear gun shots all around them.
Danny grabbed Lindsay and pulled her under a desk.
He rapped his strong arm around her and covered her head with his own.
After a minute the noises ceased and Lindsay peaked from under one of Danny's arms.
she saw 8 men in police uniforms holding guns to her some of her coworkers head's.
Lindsay gasped but Danny shushed her quietly.
5 other men came out of the evidence garage carrying some of the bags.
"Danny!" She wispered seeing they were the evidence bags of Stella and Hawks drug case.
He clapped a hand over her mouth to keep her quiet.
The men left quickly, the last one silencing the alarm and making sure no one followed. ONly after they heard the screech of tires did they come out of their hiding places.
Lindsay could hear some people crying, seeing they were the ones that had been at gun point.
Danny helped her out from under the desk and checked her for obvious injuries.
"Are you sure you're okay?" he asked worriedly.
"Ya Danny I'm fine, you sheilded me from everything... Are you okay?" Lindsay looked at him.
"Couldn't be better" he muttured Lindsay sihed angrily "Danny we have got to get that evidence back!" she started "Hey Linds, calm down. Don't worry about that now. Let's just make sure everyone's safe" Danny said, putting his hand on her shoulder.
"But it's important!" she retorted "LIndsay!" He said clasping her other shoulder gently.
"I need to know that you are safe before anything else! That is what's most important to me, Okay. SO chill about that evidence!"
Danny looked into her eyes that were begining to tear.
"I'm sorry. I'm just worried, you know." he apoligized and cupped her face with his hands.
SHe smiled gently at him and suddenly pulled him into a hug.
Danny held her tightly, never wanting to let go.
She burried her face into his chest and cried until his shirt was soaked.
She pulled away and smiled.
"Sorry" she mumbled "No" he said and grinned back at her.
He leaned forward and kissed her gently.
SHe kissed him back and wrapped her arms around his neck, while he wraped his around her back.
"Thank you" she whispered against his lips He pulled back slightly and looked at her "For what?" he asked, a smirk spreading across his face.
"For helping me realize I didn't just kiss you because I was drunk" she laughed a little at her own comment.
"So why did you kiss me?" Danny asked quizzically "I'm not sure yet, but I'd be happy to find out" and with that she let go of him and went to help clean up the disaster that had happened a few minutes ago.
