Lindsay and Don had just reached Emily's house.
Don looks up at the house, which is very big and very beautiful.
Don: Wow, must be very poor people. I mean my apartment is as big as their living room.
Lindsay: Yeah, mine too, but there is no place like home.
Don looked at her with a smile.
Don: The wizard of Oz! Now it's my turn!
Lindsay just smiled and they went up to the door and knocked.
A woman with a long green skirt and a white blouse, opened.
The woman: Yeah? How can I help you?
Don: Are you Mrs. Garner?
Mrs. Garner: Holly Garner, and who are you?
Lindsay: He's from NYPD, I'm a CSI.
Don: Yeah we are very sorry but we have to tell you that you're daughter has been found.
Mrs. Garner: You don't have to be sorry! We missed! Oh lord. Where is she?
Don: No, you don't understand she is dead.
Lindsay looked at him angrily. Mrs. Garner sank down to the floor crying.
Lindsay: Mrs. Garner we are so sorry. Can I do anything for you?
Mrs. Garner: No thanks. Come with me please. But one thing, was she murdered?
Lindsay nodded.
After Mrs. Garner told her husband, Jack Garner, what had happened, she was crying again.
Mr. Garner: Holly, go upstairs and dry you're tears.
Mrs. Garner did how she was told.
Lindsay: I'm Det. Monroe from the CSI. We are very sorry but we have to ask you a few questions.
Mr. Garner: Sure.
Lindsay: Since when was you're daughter missing?
Mr. Garner: Saturday. She said, that she would meet with her friends but I saw that she met this Mayer boy.
Lindsay: You followed her?
Mr. Garner: Sure. Since she was with Mayer; we couldn't trust her anymore.
Don: Don't you think that she was with 20 old enough to decide things on her own?
Mr. Garner: She had her own room and was allowed to stay out until 10p.m. That's more than I was allowed to do.
Don: Yeah, but we live in the 21st century.
Mr. Garner: Do you have children?!
Don: Nope.
Mr. Garner: Then you don't know what it's like when you are lied at, and when you hate her boyfriend because you know that he is wrong for her.
Lindsay: Why do you think so about Mr. Mayer?
Mr. Garner: He doesn't have a job with 24! He broke up school, he drinks, he smokes, he takes drugs! He is always flirting with other girls! He made my little girl unhappy!
Lindsay: Did she tell you that?
Mr. Garner: You are a girl too, so what happened when you run in you're room crying and screaming that you don't want to ever see him again?
Don looked at Lindsay, who looked sad to ground, as if exactly that had happened.
Don: Because he cheated on her?
Mr. Garner: Yeah. He told everybody. Even me! I talked to him what he had done to her and then he told me that he hadn't done anything, because he can't do anything against his love to Mandy.
Don: Mandy who?
Mr. Garner: I don't know.
Don: Were have you been on Sunday between 8p.m. and 2a.m?
Mr. Garner: At home. You can ask my wife.
Don: We will. Do you have any other kids?
Mr. Garner: Yes, a son. He is an excellent lawyer. Just like his dad. And Emily would have been one too.
Don: Do you know that Mr. Mayer, wants to be a lawyer too?
Mr. Garner: Did he tell you that? He wants to be rich, so he got together with my daughter!
Don: Okay. We will talk with him again anyway. Could we have a look at Emily's room?
Mr. Garner: Sure.
Lindsay who was still looked sadly at the floor didn't react when Don said: Let's go!
So he gently toughed her shoulder.
Don: Linds?
She looked up.
Lindsay: Oh sorry I was lost in my thoughts. You are right let's have a look at her room!
Emily's room had pink walls, a pink floor, a pink desk with a pink chair, a white bed with a pink pillow and a pink blanket. Lots of horse posters were hanging on the walls.
Lindsay: Wow, she was a real girl. My room was decorated with cowboy things.
Don: You are a country girl, that doesn't count. You know if Danny would have heard this, he'd call you Montana for ever!
They both smiled.
Lindsay: Look, there are lots of pictures of her and Tom.
Don: Yeah, look at that! Looks like a diary.
Lindsay: Don't you dare to read it! A diary is the most private thing for a girl!
Don: Did you have one too?
Lindsay: Sure. I wrote everything in it.
Don: Things about school?
Lindsay: Sure. About teachers, classmates, friends.
Don: Boys?
Lindsay: Sometimes. Most of the time about Billy Cooper.
Don: Why?
Lindsay: Because I was in love with him. I wrote down when I fell in love with him, I wrote down when I told him that, I wrote down when we came together and I wrote down when I saw him kissing another girl.
Don: Oh, I'm sorry.
Lindsay: Don't have to be. I mean it wasn't your fault.
Don: If I was you're boyfriend, I would never cheat on you!
Lindsay smiled. Don didn't. He had just noticed what he had said.
Don: Holy shit! Am I in love with this girl? I mean she is cute and nice and beautiful and smart and ,god, I am in love with her.
Lindsay: Thanks Don. We will take her diary with us, but we ask her parents if it's okay.
Lindsay: Mrs. Garner? We would like to take your daughters diary with us, are you okay with that?
Mrs. Garner: She had a diary? I didn't even know, Please take it with you, I'll do everything to find her murderer.

Outside.
Don: It's late. What are you doing now?
Lindsay: I'm going to drop the diary of at the lab and then I'll go home. What about you?
Don: I thought we could get a drink. Please say yes.
Lindsay: Oh god, he asked me out! No, Lindsay wait, only for a drink, and he didn't even say that he would pay. He is just you're friend. Nothing more. Sure.

At the bar.
Don: What do you want?
Lindsay: Don't know. A beer?
Don: Good choice I'll get us some.
He went to the bar and came back with two beers.
Don: Here you are, my precious.
Lindsay: Lord of the rings! That was easy. Thanks for the beer. How much do you get from me? (Note: He pronounced it like Gollum :)
Lindsay took her handbag and searched her purse when Don grabbed her wrist. Lindsay looked up at him.
Don: It's okay. I asked you out so I invite you.
Lindsay: Thanks. But could I get my hand back?
Don looked confused but realized that he was still holding her wrist.
Don: Sorry.
After finishing their first beer, their second, their third and their fourth.
Don: You want another one?
Lindsay: No. I'll have a Martini, shaken not stirred.
Don: James Bond, nice try!
Don: Here's your Martini.
Lindsay: Thanks Donny!
Don: Donny?
Lindsay: I think it sounds cute.
Don: Yeah and I think you're drunk.
Lindsay started to laugh.
Don: Linds, I'm serious. Are you drunk?
Lindsay: Noooooooooooooooo
Don: Man you are. Come on let's go home.
Lindsay: Nooooooooooooo
Don: I'll walk you home.
Lindsay: I can walk on my own!
She stood up but fell immediately on the floor.
Don: Yeah, you can walk on your own.
He pulled her up but when she was ready to fall again he put over his shoulder and carried her.
Lindsay: Let me down!!
Don: No.
Lindsay: I'll call the police! You are kidnapping me!
Don: Lindsay.
Lindsay: Ahhhhh! Help!
Don: Lindsay!
Lindsay: He is going to rape me!
Don: Lindsay Monroe! Shut the hell up or I'll just leave you here!
Lindsay: Yeah? Then let me down!
Suddenly he put her off his shoulder and onto the ground.
Don: Are you happy now? Good night!
Then he walked off.
At the next block.
Don: Shit. What if some crazy man comes, gets her and he really rapes her or even murders her. God, I mustn't think of such things. She acted like a real bitch. But she is drunk, she is not herself. Donald Flack Jr.! Go back and bring her home! If you really love her. Man what am I thinking. I can't love her. Danny loves her. I… I'll just get her.
Back where he left her, Lindsay was still sitting on the floor.
Don: Linds? You okay? I'm gonna get you home. Alright?
Lindsay: I think I'm sick.
Don got her again over his shoulder and went on.
