Lindsay watched Danny checking for evidence for a minute before she said anything.

"Danny."

"Montana?" Danny rose a little confused as to why his wife was there as he thought she had been finishing up a different case. "Did Mac send you to help?"

"Can we grab some coffee? I need to talk to you for a minute." Lindsay requested.

"Is everything okay? Is Liv okay?"

"She's fine. I just called and checked on her, she's taking a nap." Lindsay shuffled awkwardly.

Danny took off his gloves and walked over so he was stood in front of her. He put a finger under her chin and made her look him in the eye.

"What's going on Lindsay?" He inquired.

"Can we do this outside? I'm feeling slightly claustrophobic." Lindsay shivered.

Danny could tell something had shaken her up.

"Give me five minutes to secure the evidence and I'll meet you downstairs."

"Thank you."

Stella sat in the car outside waiting, when there was a tap on the window. She rolled down the window.

"Police." Flack said. "You're parked a foot too close to that fire hydrant."

"Funny Flack, real funny." Stella rolled her eyes.

"I try. So what brings you by?"

"Lindsay needed to talk to Danny. They think they've caught the guy who killed her friends in Montana. They need her to go and do a line up, so she needs to get explain everything to him before I drive her to the airport. Adam got her on a flight."

"How's she holding up?" Flack inquired.

"She's still in shock. But this is time sensitive." Stella shrugged.

"Here." Danny handed Lindsay a cup of coffee he gotten at the coffee shop just up the block from the crime scene.

"Thank you."

"So what's going on Montana?" He asked.

"Do you remember when I told you why I became a cop?"

"Because your friends were murdered." Danny recalled.

"I got a call an hour ago. They think they've caught him."

"That's great news." Danny smiled, then paused. "What am I missing?"

"I'm going back to Montana to ID him. Stella is driving me to the airport as soon as we're done here. She's going to pick up Liv from day care today too."

"Why are you going to ID him?" Danny asked. "You weren't there."

Lindsay took a deep breath.

"I was there. I'm the only one who survived. I'd gone to wash my hand, I saw him."

"What?!" Danny exclaimed slightly louder than he had intended. "Why didn't you say something?"

"Because I don't talk about it, it hurts too much. I've learnt to live with the nightmares as long as I don't talk about it."

"You could have told me."

"Until a few months ago the only person who knew was Mac and he only knew because it was in my file."

"Who else knew?" Danny asked.

"Clay told Stella and Flack by accident at the benefit, he thought they knew."

"You should have told me."

"It wasn't that easy. I couldn't just say have you seen Liv's pacifier oh and by the way I witnessed my friends being massacred." Lindsay burst out in tears.

"Come here." Danny wrapped his arms around her. "I've got you."

"I need you to tell me you don't hate me." She sobbed.

"I could never hate you Lindsay, I love you too much. Everything is going to be okay I promise."

"I have to catch a plane, Stella will help with Olivia while I'm gone."

"It's okay, I'll handle it. Just go and get the guy." He pressed a kiss on to her forehead. "I'll be right here when you get back."

"I don't know if I can face him."

"Lindsay, you became a cop because you wanted to catch the guy. You wanted to see justice was done, so go and help them put him away. Everyone needs closure."

"I love you." She whispered.

"I love you too."
