Chapter Six - Truth Hurts

Danny and Hawkes had been called to a crime scene by Flack, Danny was a little apprehensive about seeing Flack, he hadn't spoken to him since the night before when Jamie had come to his apartment all flustered.

Hawkes and Danny approached the scene and they were met by Flack.

"Hey man, you and Jamie cool now?"

Danny looked at Flack for a few moments then smiled to himself, he could read Flack like a book and everything about him reeked jealously.

"Yeah, we're cool, she stayed the night actually, we haven't done that since me and Montana got together."

Danny just smirked and walked to the DB in the lounge leaving Hawkes and a gob smacked Flack at the tape, Flack looked at Hawkes.

"Did he mean what I thought he meant?"

Hawkes shook his head, he could see where Danny was going with this, and he wanted to be there to see the end results.

"I had better catch up with Danny, don't worry Flack, I am sure he didn't mean it after all, he's already been there. Why reawaken old memories?"

With that Hawkes walked towards Danny and their DB leaving Flack even more confused than before.

….

Flack was sitting in the break room of the Lab staring into space when Lindsay walked in front of him and waved her hand in front of his face.

"Earth to Flack!"

No response.

Lindsay sighed and placed her fingers in either side of her mouth and whistled Montana style, that was enough to shake Flack from his trance and cause him to jump a few inches from his seat.

"Whoa, Linds, I didn't know you could whistle like that?"

Lindsay laughed and placed her hands on her hips and flicked her head back, and looked at Flack.

"All cowgirls are taught how to whistle like that when your young, I was told I was a pro!"

Flack laughed and turned back to his now cold coffee, Lindsay had a look of concern on her face and sat down next to him.

"Flack? Whats up? You and Jay fight?"

Flack shook his head, he wondered if Danny had told her that Jamie went to his place and stayed the night, its not something I am sure Danny wanted Lindsay knowing for the pure fact that she would get mad and jump to the wrong conclusion.

"Its nothing really, I'm hoping its just a misunderstanding on my part, I don't think Danny meant what I thought he meant."

Lindsay sighed, she should've known Danny was the cause of this, nine times out of ten he normally was bless him, even if he didn't know it.

"What did he do now Flack?"

Flack's eyes widened, why is it he never thought before he spoke, he tried to cover his tracks, only making it more obvious that there was something wrong. He jumped up from his seat and made his way to the door.

"Uhh nothings wrong, he didn't do anything, somebody's calling me so…I…uh…see ya!"

With that Flack was gone, and Lindsay was left on her own, she rolled her eyes and rested her head in her hands, just as Danny walked in.

"Hey do you know what's up with Flack, I think he was running away from here?"

Lindsay looked up and glared at Danny.

"Danny if anyone was to know whats wrong I would say that you were probably the person to know! So you want to tell me exactly what you've said! Or do I have to use force?"

Danny gulped a looked at Lindsay and smiled.

"I…I…really don't know what you mean Montana?"

Lindsay stood up and walked over to Danny.

"Tell me!"

Danny sighed.

"I'm winding him up."

Lindsay kept looking at Danny with an expectant look on her face. He said nothing else so Lindsay pushed him hard on the shoulder with her palm.

"About?"

Danny sighed again and braced himself for a beating.

"About Jay."

Lindsay didn't move, she just stared.

"What did you say?"

"Well I told you that she spent the night yeah?"

Lindsay nodded.

"I kind of without thinking implied that we slept together, I didn't mean to but that's the way he took it."

Lindsay stared at Danny and shook her head, and breathed in deep.

"Danny, please tell me you didn't sleep with Jay!"

Danny stared blankly and scoffed.

"Montana, I aint that stupid, me and Jamie are in the past, we are just friends now, I said it to wind Flack up and it worked."

Lindsay turned to walk away but then turned back to Danny.

"Did you think about Jay's feelings? Your not going to be her favourite person when she finds out."

Danny couldn't believe how that even though it was obviously a joke no-one seemed to understand it. He sighed and went in search of Flack.

Flack was sat at his desk typing up some paper work when someone placed a coffee in front of his face, he didn't even look up.

"Thanks man, I needed this."

He heard a familiar laugh and immediately looked up to see Jamie standing over him.

"Last time I checked I wasn't a man Don."

Flack got flustered.

"No of course your not I mean look at you, not that I always look at you, what I mean is that your far to…please kill me!"

Jamie just laughed and placed her hand on his shoulder.

"Don, please stop I get what your trying to say, although I had a hard time understanding."

Flack looked at the coffee and smiled.

"Anyway thanks for the coffee."

Jamie looked at Flack.

"That's ok, just thought I'd come by seeing as I was here on a case. How are you? I feel I havent seen you in ages."

Flack laughed and looked at Jamie.

"You saw me yesterday, I would hardly call that ages."

Jamie sat in the chair opposite Flack and pulled it so that she was closer to him, ever so slightly Flack moved his seat away, even though this was a small movement, it spoke louder than most words, and Jamie was instantly hurt.

"Don?"

Flack turned back to his computer and tried his hardest to ignore Jamie's question.

"Don? Whats wrong?"

Flack sighed and turned to Jamie and spoke.

"You and Danny, I know about you and Danny. I thought you had more class than to sleep with your best mates boyfriend, and jerk me around, when your obviously hung up on him."

Jamie couldn't believe it, the cheek of him, she breathed in and stood up from the chair and leaned in close to Flack.

"For your information, the last time I slept with Danny was about a year ago when Lindsay wasn't in the picture, and if you must know the reason why that happened, my father had died a couple days before and he was there for me and we got caught up in the moment, apart from the relationship we had when we were in high school that was the only time, and how dare you assume that I would do that to Lindsay and to myself!"

She took a step back from Flack and eyed him up and down.

"Do you know what hurts the most right now! The fact is I actually liked you…a lot, and I thought you were a decent guy, but as per normal, I was wrong, so how can I put this? Stay the fuck away from me!"

With that Jamie poured her hot coffee all over Flack lap threw the cup at him and walked away leaving Flack looking on as he cursed in pain. Standing in the doorway to witness all of it was Danny, he looked at Jamie as she approached him, she smiled slightly and walked straight into his arms and cried, Danny looked at Flack, and Flack looked at Danny, all Danny did was shake his head and escort Jamie out of the precinct
