Here's the next chapter, hope you enjoy :)

Lindsay and Flack walked out of the elevator onto the lab floor for the second time today. "So we'll just grab your wallet and head back, yeah?" Lindsay asked as they walked over to the AV lab.

"Don't you want to stay here for a bit, maybe we could wait for Mac to come back, see if he can tell us anything?" Flack suggested.

Lindsay shrugged "I guess"

"Okay, well go put the kettle on in the break room and I'll be there in a minute once I got my wallet and phoned Mac to let him know we'll be here, okay?"

"Okay" Lindsay replied, she turned and walked to the break room. She passed the trace lab as she did and noticed Hawkes in there going through a box of photos. Lindsay was just about to go in and ask him what he was doing when she felt a hand on her shoulder, jumping she turned around to see who was touching her. "Adam"

"Hey, sorry, I didn't mean to make you jump"

"No it's fine, are you okay?"

Adam nodded "Yeah, I'm good, how are you?... oh god that was a stupid question, I'm sorry"

"No, no it's fine. What's Hawkes up to?"

"Oh he's just working on another case, you don't want to go in there" he said as he tried to lead her to the break room.

"What? Why don't I?"

"It's a case involving children... I mean animals... it involves animals cute little... puppies and stuff and just well the pictures aren't all that nice and I know what you've been going through and I'm sure pictures of dead puppies are the last thing you want to see right now."

"Dead puppies?"

Adam nodded.

"Why are we investigating the death of a puppy?"

"Oh... because well the owner died too... yeah... he got stabbed... it was all very sad"

Lindsay looked at him with a raised eye brow "Adam?"

"What?"

"What's he really looking at?"

"I told you... dead puppies"

"How many puppies are you talking about because there is an awful lot of photos on that table"

"Er..." Adam scratched the back of his neck "Yeah... well... there was quite few... the owner was like puppy crazy"

"And they're all dead?"

"Yes... well no not all of them but some got blood and stuff on so we had to take pictures of them all"

Lindsay nodded, she didn't believe a word of what Adam was saying but she was far too tired to argue with him. "You making the coffee?" she asked as she walked into the break room with him following.

"Yeah, I can do" he smiled going over to the kettle. "Milk, two sugars?"

"Yeah, that's right" she replied as she sat on the couch and tucked her legs underneath her.

Adam took two cups down from the cupboard and made the coffees before carrying them both over to Lindsay and passing her one "There you go"

"Thank you" she smiled taking it in her hand and holding it tightly.

Adam sat down next to her "Linds... I'm sorry"

"Don't apologise Adam, it's not your fault"

"I know... I just..." Adam sighed "Honestly, I don't really know what else I'm meant to say"

Lindsay gave him a warm smile "Why don't you tell me what you've been up to?"

"Hm?"

"What did you do yesterday?"

"Oh... well I worked most of the day going over lots of footage from Lu..." he trailed off "After work I got a pizza and took it home to watch a film"

"What film did you watch?"

"Erm... I think it was Pirates of the Caribbean... I don't remember much of it though as I fell asleep"

"I like that film" Lindsay admitted "Johnny Depp makes a great pirate"

"He does" Adam agreed. "I definitely need to watch it again when I'm more awake and then watch the sequels"

"The sequels aren't as good as the first"

"Well maybe one day we can watch the first one together... that's if you want to?"

"Yeah that'll be good" she replied as she took a sip of her coffee.

Hawkes needed a break, he'd been awake for hours now trying to figure out where Danny and Lucy were so putting the photos back into the box and then back into the evidence folder, he placed them onto the side and made his way out of the trace lab.

"Sheldon, just the man I was hoping to find"

Hawkes turned around to see Sid making his way towards him "Hey Sid, how can I help?"

"You're good at reconstructing faces, aren't you?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well..." Sid rubbed the back of his neck "I've had someone come in, a dump job. His face is so badly smashed in and his hands have been cut off, I've just no way of identifying him"

"Has he got any distinguishing makings or anything we can go on?"

"Well there's a tribal tattoo on his right shoulder but that's it, I'm afraid and you know how many people we have come in with these tattoos"

Hawkes nodded "What hair colour has he got?"

"Blond, why?" Sid asked.

"Just wondering" Hawkes replied, he had his suspicions of who was lying on one of Sid's slabs but he wasn't going to say anything out loud till he knew for sure "I'll come down with you and help with the reconstruction"

Lindsay, who'd been sat in the break room had heard the whole conversation between Sid and Hawkes. "Oh god" She gasped putting her cup onto the coffee table.

"What?" Adam asked.

"I need to go, Adam... I need to know it's not him!" getting up she made her way out of the break room and ran towards the elevators.

Adam placed his coffee cup down and ran after her "Linds, where are you going?"

"To the morgue" she told him as she repeatedly pressed the button for the elevator "Hurry up!"

"You don't wanna be going down there"

"I do... I do because I think..." she swallowed and turned to face the young lab technician "I think Danny's down there"
