"Is anyone doing any work today?" Mac asked, the break room quickly cleared of everyone apart from Stella, Danny and Lindsay.

"Hey Mac." Lindsay smiled.

"It's nice to see you Lindsay. Whilst you're here there is some paperwork I need you to sign."

"What kind of paperwork?" Lindsay asked.

"DA needed a copy of the Margot case paperwork."

"So you need me to initial all my signatures to prove they are mine. I'll drop by your office and take care of it before I leave."

"Thank you." Mac said. "Stella, can I expect you to do any work before Lindsay leaves?"

Just then Stella's pager went off.

"If you take Olivia, I'll go and get my test results." Stella settled Olivia in Mac's arm. "Be good sweetheart and I'll see you on Sunday Lindsay."

"See you then." Lindsay agreed.

"What's happening on Sunday?" Danny inquired.

"Since you're working Stella is coming over for the afternoon. Adult conversation is something you seem to miss whilst you're on maternity leave."

"So Lindsay how are you enjoying motherhood?" Mac inquired.

"Other than the lack of sleep, it's great."

"Mac, when I'm done eating I'm going to run Lindsay and Liv home, someone slashed the tyres on the car and she had to catch a cab over here."

"Someone slashed your tyres?" Mac questioned. "Did you report it?"

"Did everyone forget somewhere along the line that I'm a cop too?" Lindsay asked. "I checked the car there didn't appear to be any prints as the dirt on the car wasn't disturbed, the surveillance cameras are broken so there is no footage of who did it. I told the super, I wrote a report which I gave to Hawkes and I told Danny. It was probably just kids. I'm going to the bathroom."

"Is she really okay?"

"She's fine. Her Mom went back to Montana three days ago, Mom drops by when she can but she's still getting used to be alone with her."

"Check out the car when you get home." Mac told him.

"Was already planning on it."

"Want me to help you inside?" Danny asked when they pulled up outside the apartment building.

"I'll be fine; just don't leave print dust all over the car."

"How did you..."

"Pregnancy may have killed a few brain cells but the ones that make me a good cop and good CSI still work. I'll see you when you get home." She removed Olivia's car seat from the car and connected it to the base; she slid the baby bag over the handlebar.

"Call me if you need anything."

"We'll be fine."

"I love you."

"I love you too." Lindsay closed the door.

Danny waited until she entered the building before he pulled the car around to the other side of the building where the entrance to the underground parking lot was.

Back at the lab Danny ran the print he'd pulled from the car through AFIS. It pretty quickly spat out a match to an internal control sample.

"Damn." Danny mattered.

"Did you get a match for our case?" Flack asked from the door.

"No, this was for a personal crime."

"Personal crime?" Flack questioned.

"Someone slashed the tyres on our car." Danny explained.

"Are Lindsay and Olivia okay?" Flack asked.

"They're fine; they were here about an hour ago. Lindsay brought me lunch."

"Did she report it?"

"She took her own report, don't mention it to her." Danny told him. "But back to our case. All the fibres I had Adam run were consistent with items from the victim's apartment."

"What happened to that whole Lockard's exchange thing?" Flack asked.

"Look who has been reading a forensics textbook?" Danny joked. "We still working on it, I'll get back to you if I find anything."

"I guess I'm just going to have to do this the old fashioned way."

"One tip."

"What's that?" Flack asked.

"Don't wear new shoes if you're going to do a lot of leg work."

"Gee thanks." Flack rolled his eyes and left.
