"Well that's just creepy." Lindsay commented as she stood in the doorway of one of the layout rooms.

"What?" Mac was startled. "Lindsay this is a nice surprise. What are you doing here?"

"Liv's barely seen Danny whilst she's been awake in the last two weeks what with work and practice. So since I was in the neighbourhood I thought I would drop by."

"It's nice to see you."

"You too boss." Lindsay smiled.

"What were you saying?"

"That it was creepy."

"I know the blood pools are interesting." Mac commented looking at the sheet covered in blood pools which was hung on the wall which he was in the process of analysing.

"I meant the message."

"What message?" Mac looked at her and then back at the sheet.

"Come and stand over here." Lindsay suggested. Mac stepped to join her. "Look at the white spaces around the blood pools."

"'Death 11.08'." Mac said.

"What time did your vic die?"

"Marty said around 11." Mac replied.

"I'd say your killer was giving you a more exact time." Lindsay suggested.

"I've been analysing this for almost two hours and I didn't see it."

"Sometimes you need to stand back to get perspective. You know not seeing the forest for the all the trees." Lindsay told him. "There are a couple more people I want to say hello to so I'll see you around."

"Thank you for your help."

"Glad to be of service." Lindsay left him to it.

"Hey Lindsay." Stella caught up with her a few minutes later.

"Hey Stella." Lindsay gave her friend a quick hug.

"Have you seen Mac? He's staring at a sheet that's covered in blood."

"The white spaces in between the blood spell out 'death 11.08'; he's trying to figure out how he didn't notice it." Lindsay explained.

"Ah, that explains a few things." She paused. "How's the benefit plans going?"

"Pretty well. Almost everything is planned. The NYPD team is getting sponsored we get a million bucks for the cause and a set of new uniforms for them."

"Impressive."

"Not as impressive as the fact someone knows someone who spoke to Christina Aguilera people and convinced her to come and sing the National Anthem for free."

"This is snowballing." Stella smiled.

"I know. There is already about ten million in the fund already."

"You're doing a good job Lindsay."

"Thanks." Lindsay blushed.

"It shows in a city of millions, a few people working together can make a difference."

"I hope so. Don't mention who is singing the National Anthem to anyone, we're keeping it a secret."

"It's just between us." Stella assured her as her pager went off. "Sid obviously has something for me. So give me a call and let me know when you want to go shopping for dresses for the benefit."

"I'll let you know." Lindsay assured her.

"I'll see you soon."

CSI NY CSI NY

Lindsay watched Danny with Olivia for a few minutes before she went to interrupted.

"Say hello to who you wanted to Montana?" Danny smiled at her.

"I helped Mac with some evidence and made tentative plans to go shopping with Stella."

"Good. Liv's asleep." He settled her back in her stroller. "Why don't you come here?" He took her hand and pulled her in to kiss her, tucking the hand he held behind her back so he could put his hand on her butt.

"Hey keep your hands to yourselves and be at least three feet apart." A voice interrupted them. "There is a baby in the room and lots of impressionable lab techs around."

Danny muttered under his breath.

"Hey Don." Lindsay turned around. "I hear you're doing well at practice."

"Nice to see you too."

"The team got sponsored so you're all getting new uniforms." She paused. "Liv and I should get going."

"Try not to get stuck on the Interstate."

"Try not to be late for dinner." Lindsay countered. "Bye Don." Lindsay left.

"We're having dinner at my Mom's." Danny explained.
