"Hey Danny you might want to go and rescue your wife?" Flack nodded towards the crime scene tape where Lindsay was talking to the uniform officer.
"I'll be right back." Danny rose to his feet and walked over to the tape.
"I really am a Detective." Lindsay told the officer.
"I'm afraid you still have to stay behind the tape ma'am." The officer told her.
"She's a bit too young to be a ma'am, aren't you Montana?" Danny smiled. "Hey." He gave Lindsay kiss. "Where's Liv?"
"Your mom's watching her for the day. She keeps wanting to take her overnight but I'm not ready for that. I was walking by and came over to see what the fuss was."
"Care to join us?" Danny held up the tape to let her under. "Quick introduction. Officer Joe Malenkov my wife Detective Lindsay Monroe Messer, crime lab."
"She didn't have a badge."
"She's on maternity leave." Danny explained. "New rookie." Danny said as they walked back towards the scene.
"Hey Lindsay." One of the other detectives greeted her.
"Hey Rocky." Lindsay greeted Detective Roland 'Rocky' Rockforth. "How's Connor?"
"He had the last of the round of chemo on Friday. He's a tough kid. You have that meeting today don't you?"
"In about an hour, I'll call Jazz when I'm done and let her know what's going on."
"It's a good thing you're doing. Excuse me." He backed off.
"Hey Lindsay." Flack greeted her. "Good to see you."
"Hey good to see you too."
"Who is Jazz?" Danny asked confused.
"You know Jasmine." Lindsay said.
"The Lt in Vice's secretary?" Flack queried
"Yes. She's Rocky's wife." Lindsay explained.
"And Connor?" Danny asked.
"Their eldest son. He was diagnosed with cancer and couple months back. He's a tough kid. He's six. Brandon is three and Sophie is three days younger than Liv." Lindsay's cell phone rang. "Excuse me." She stepped away. "Lindsay Messer... No pushing it back an half an hour isn't a problem... I'll be there thank you." She hung up. "Sorry."
"What meeting was Rocky talking about?"
"The benefit."
"What benefit?"
"Do you remember when I told you I was arranging something for when Clay was in town in a few weeks?"
"I thought you meant something like dinner or tickets to the game."
"Clay and Jazz are helping me organise a benefit. We actually got most of the sports teams in New York involved and NYPD. There's going to be an auction. They're going to split the profits between the NYPD charities and some children's cancer charities. By the way how do you feel about playing at Yankee Stadium?"
"Playing what?" Danny asked.
"Baseball of course."
"I'll handle this one." Flack said. "Against whom?"
"The Yankees." Lindsay replied.
"The Yankees?" Both questioned.
"It was their idea. The Saturday afternoon and NYPD team against the Yankees. Try outs are going to be this Saturday; a memo is going out this afternoon. We finished working out the details yesterday. It will probably be terrorised somewhere along the line depending who wants it."
"You're serious?" Danny asked.
"It's good PR for everyone concerned. Clay knew who to put me in touch with and they've all been pretty interested in helping out. We should raise a lot of money."
"How New York society of you." Flack teased.
"Who exactly is this meeting with?" Danny asked.
"Chief of Police, The Major the Presidents or Owners of the sports teams." She smiled. "And that really had to hurt." Lindsay looked at the naked body on top of the flatted car."
"It's a good thing the people inside were already dead when he fell on them."
"They were already dead?" Lindsay questioned tilting her head.
"Night Doorman from the building down the street noticed the car sat here with two people inside when he started his shift last night, the car was still here this morning so he flagged down a beat, he knocked on the door and couldn't get a response he jimmied the door open and found them both dead, he called it whilst he was waiting for backup the naked guy fell out that window up there and crushed the car." Flack explained.
"Two unrelated deaths so two detectives." Lindsay concluded.
"We're still determining that."
"Well I have ninety minutes to kill so I'll go and grab some coffee for us all." Lindsay said.
"Sound good." Danny gave her a kiss.
