Danny's POV: The next Morning 8am
I quickly stroll through the doors of the lab. I'm trying not to look like I'm on a mission, but I am. I wanna make sure that Lindsay was ok. She hadn't called me back last night and I still worry. She's normally the first to arrive from our shift. I made a stop on my way in today to pick up some coffee and breakfast for the both of us, because I know she normally skips breakfast. I check every room on the way as I walk down the hall to our office. 'Our' office, I like that. When Mac first told me that I would have to share my office with the new girl, a was upset to say the least. Now it's the one place that we share together. I'm not going to lie. Everyday I catch glimpses of her while I pretend to be working. Quit a few times she has caught me and called me out on it, but I just smirk and shrug it off.
I turn the corner into our office and am disappointed to see that she's not there. My brow wrinkles in worry as I look over at the clock. She's normally here by now, nothing to worry about right, it probably just traffic?
I know I'm just trying to rationalize, and I hope that I'm right. I put the bag of food and coffee on Lindsay's desk , and take a seat at my own. The only think I can do now is sit and wait. I grab a case file that's sitting on my desk, and start to fill out the needed paper work. Though it is soon apparent that I'm not going to get much work done. I throw my glasses in my desk and rub my tired eyes. I had barely gotten any sleep last night, because I spent the night on my couch by the phone waiting for her to call.
Ten minutes pass and she's still not in. I pick up my phone and call her cell phone...nothing. I hang the phone up before keying in her home number, which I've grown to know by heart...Still nothing. Damn it!
I lace my fingers behind my head and let out an audible sigh. I close my eyes and see her face, which is something that's been happening more and more lately.
"Hey Danny boy, you're here early." a voice says from the door way.
I open one eye to see Flack leaning on the door frame. I don't say anything I just look at him and nod.
"You look like someone keep you up all night." he says in his usual sarcastic tone.
"You can say that." I say opening my other eye.
"So where is Ms. Monroe this fine morning anyway?" he asks with a chuckle
I shoot him a glare. "I don't know. That's why I'm here early today. She was really down after yesterday and she didn't return my call last night. I wanted to talk to her, but she hasn't come in yet."
"That's not like her, on her standards she about an hour late." he says with a little bit of concern in his voice.
"I know. I've called her cell and her apartment, but got nothing."
"Huh. We've got some time before shift officially starts. Did you wanna go check out her apartment to see if she's there?" he asked
I glance and the clock again. "Yeah let me go tell Mac where we're going."
xxXXxx
Apartment of Lindsay Monroe
As we reach her door I knock on the door. I few seconds pass before I knock again, only this time louder in what Lindsay called my 'Cop Knock'. Still nothing. I give Flack a worried look, as I begin to fish through my pockets for my key ring. I take it out and locate the key to her door.
"You have a key to her Apartment?" Flack asks
"Yeah. So what?"
"Nothing Danny...Nothing at all." he says with a smirk
I open the door and start to look around. Flack stays right behind me as if he feels out of place. She's not in the bedroom, kitchen, or living room.
"May be she's on her way to the lab now Danny." Flack says
I ignore him and take in more of the room. I can see the Whisky bottle on the coffee table. Things were worse then I thought. Lindsay was not a drinker. Her shoes were sitting in front of the couch. She's in the Apartment and I know where.
"She's in the bath tub." I say turning to Flack.
"Wait she's late for work and you think she's taking a Bath?"
I head toward her bathroom and swing open the door. I can hear Don behind me yelling "Danny what the hell are you doing, give her some privacy."
"DAMN IT!!" I yell
Flack come running into the bathroom. "OMG Lindsay."
Just as I expected she was laying fully clothed in the bathtub. What I had not expected was the bottle of wine. In addition to the whiskey, she had drunk herself to the point of passing out. She's still breaking so I know she's ok. Flack takes out a phone and starts to call a bus, but I stop him.
"She's fine Don. Just extremely drunk."
He nods. "How'd ya know she'd be in the tub?"
"She told me one that it's the one place she feels safe. Kinda like her safe haven."
"Oh ok. That's weird."
"No its not." I says as I brush my hand against Lindsay's face. "Montana, honey. I need you to wake up."
She squirms a little but doesn't open her eyes. "Lindsay. It's me Danny. You have to wake up now."
She groans and pops one eye open. "Danny?"
"Yeah its me honey, you need to wake up."
She opened both eyes and took in her environment. "Danny what's Flack doing here?"
"You're late for work and we came to check on you."
At that she jumped up, but a little to fast and fell back down grabbing her head. "Ouch. My head is killing me."
"Yeah Montana it's called a hang over." I say with a chuckle.
" I need to get ready for work." she said
"No you don't I'll call Mac and tell him you sick ok. How about we get you into bed?"
"I don't wanna get up." she murmured before closing her eyes again.
I'm surprised when she doesn't resist, as I pick her up out of the tub. She instead wraps her arms around my neck and snuggles her head in the crock of my neck. I smile and carry her carefully to her bedroom.
"Hey Flack in her bathroom cabinet there should be a bottle of aspirin, could you bring it to me with a bottle of water from the fridge?" I ask as I lay her down gently.
A few seconds later he's back and hands me both bottles. "Linds, I'm gonna need you to sit up and take this it'll make you feel better." she groaned before accepting the two pills and taking a sip of the water. "Did you wanna put some pajamas on?" I ask her. She nods but is soon back to sleep.
With out a second though I head over to her dresser and start picking out something for her to sleep in. "Your gonna dress her?" Flack asks
"Yeah, she'll be more comfortable."
"Man you've got it bad." He smirks
"I do not"
"Whatever Man. Do you have everything under control here I gotta get back or my Captain will kill me."
"Yeah go ahead. Thanks for coming with me. I'll call Mac and let him know what's going on."
"No problem bro, take good care of her."
"I will."
I hear Flack leave the Apartment before I head back over the bed with a pair of black sweat pants and a T-shirt from her dresser. "Montana. You awake. I'm gonna try and get you changed ok." But she didn't respond, she was out cold. I very carefully lift her up slightly and pull the shirt she is currently wearing over her head, she didn't even still. I replace it with the clean shirt from her dresser, which proved to be somewhat more difficult then I though but I did it. Next step was her pants. I'm not going to lie to you and say that the action of me unbuttoning her pants and pulling then down didn't turn me on, but that's not what this was about. With any other girl I would have looked at this in a very sexual manner, but this wasn't any other girl this Was Lindsay "Montana" Monroe. My Montana. It was all about sex before I met her, now I'm just as content making sure she is safe and comfortable. Not that I don't want her, She doesn't realize that even the simplest things that she does turns me on. I know that she needs time. She needs me just to be there, and first time in my life I'm ok with that with a girl. I'm pretty sure Flack was right I have fallen for her. I've got it bad for a small town girl from Montana.
After she's dressed, I pull the comforter over her and leave the bedroom shutting the door behind me.
I take out my cell phone and call Mac.
"Taylor" He answers
"Hey Mac, It's Danny. I Found Lindsay."
"Is she Alright."
"Not really She's really Sick, when Don and I found her she was Passed out in the Bath tub." I explain. Well its not a complete lie, I just left out the part about her being drunk and having the hang over of the century. "I was wondering if I could have the day off to help take care of her."
"Well it's pretty slow around here, I don't have a problem with that. Just make sure she's ok."
"Got it Mac, Thanks."
"No problem, Tell Lindsay I hope she feels better."
" I will, Cyah later."
"Bye."
I shut my phone and put it back in my pocket. I start picking up them mess that Lindsay left the night before. I put her shoes bye the door, hung her jacket on the hanger, and poured the remaining Whisky down the drain. She can't be dealing with her problems this way, from now on I'm gonna stay right by her side.
When if finish I walk back to her room and open the door slightly to check on her. She's still sleeping. Or so I thought, when I started to close the door again I heard her call my name.
"Yeah Linds." I reply.
"Do you think you could lay with me?" She murmurs almost inaudibly
I'm silent for a moment, wondering if it would be suck a good idea. She could kick my ass in the morning, but at this point it was worth it. If she needed me I wasn't going to say no. I make my say from the door way to the bed and kick off my shoes. I lay down next to her and pull her protectively against my body. She seems comfortable with it because she snuggles her head closer on my shoulder. I'm not sure if she's awake or not but I whisper to her. "Montana, I'll always be here for you. And what ever your going though, you can tell me and we'll work though it together." she doesn't say anything so she probably asleep. Even quieter I whisper "I Love you." Its not long before I drift off to sleep myself.
