Chapter 3

"You kissed Flack?!?! Are y'all together?!?!" Danny quickly asked. Lindsay giggled "Yes I kissed Don...well he kissed me..anyway no we aren't together" "What?!? What do you mean he kissed you? When was this?!" "um..." Lindsay started nervously "When I first moved here. You were being an ass to me, Don asked me out for coffee one night and I went. He drove me home and walked me up to my apartment and kissed my cheek" Lindsay blushed but continued "I..I..uh...I thought that maybe if I kissed Don, I wouldn't..." Lindsay stopped blushing even more.

"Ya thought what Montana?" "Danny its late, I have to be at the lab at 7" Lindsay walks over to the couch and settles down and falls asleep as soon as she laid her head on the arm....oh don't think this conversation is over Montana Danny walked over to the couch and scoops her up, bridal style, and she snuggles into his chest and nuzzles his neck. Danny moans softly...even in her sleep she does simple things and it turns me on...god I kinda feel like a perv...and I probably shouldn't have freaked out on her like that...as she snuggles closer. He laid her down in his bed and took off her shoes. "Cowboy?!" "I'm right here Montana, go back to sleep" He put his hand on her arm. "K" Lindsay mumbled already back asleep. Danny laid down next to her covered them both up and fell asleep with a smile on his face.

Danny woke up at 6:30 curled around her with his arm around her waist and their fingers intertwined. He smiled then looked at the clock. "Damnit! Montana, you have to get up. We're gonna be late." "Huh?" Lindsay asked still half asleep. "We overslept. I was gonna get you up, but its 6:30" Danny answered. "Damn let's go" Lindsay said as she gets up. She flips her hair and fluffs the curls then puts her shoes and his jacket on. "Let's go" Danny smiled and grabbed his keys and took her hand.

They get to the lab and get in the elevator. Lindsay fluffs her hair again and hands him his jacket. The doors opened and she smirked at him then sashayed into the hallway towards Mac's office. ...gotta love stilettos... Danny thought as he smiled and followed her. He watched every guy they past in the lab stare at her and felt his blood boil....why do they have to look at her like she's a piece of meat...well I used to do the same thing but not since Montana came here though...As they walked by the trace lab Adam rolled out into the hall for a better look. He leaned back in his chair. "Damn, she looks really hot today, not that she doesn't everyday but wow!...ya know?" Adam said as he looked up at Danny. Danny put his foot on Adam's chair, between his legs and pushed him back towards trace. "Shut up". Adam looked up at Danny again. "My bad man"

Don intercepts her. "Damn Monroe, lookin like ya just stepped outta playboy or somethin" He said as he wolf-whistled at her. She giggled and blushed and Danny growled, quite loudly....looks like there is something going on between them to me... They both looked at him with an eyebrow raised in question. Danny just shook his head and walked away.

Don looked at Lindsay who was giggling like a little girl. "I may have to-" Lindsay started. Stella walked up. "So how'd it go last night?" Stella asked Lindsay. Lindsay's eyes widened. "You set that whole thing up didn't you?!" Lindsay asked shocked. Stella smirked "It worked like a charm too." "What would you have done if I had called Flack or Mac huh? What then?" Lindsay asked. "Oh I knew you wouldn't and besides I never actually left" "WHAT?!" Lindsay asked incredulously. Flack grabbed each of them by an arm and pulled them into the closest office, which happened to be Lindsay and Danny's. "I never left. I know the bartender and he let me sit behind the bar. I watched you the entire time" "You just sat there and let those guys harass me? Was that part of your genius plan too?" Lindsay said her voice getting a little louder. Flack started to shut the door when Mac and Danny walked in. Mac started to interrupt when Don held up his hand. Stella and Lindsay never noticed. "No, but it actually helped my plan, especially that real rough looking guy. I actually thought they fit in perfectly, all of them. They really did push you the rest of the way though. I didn't think you were gonna call" "Stella, Do you realize that they were Tanglewood?! And now thanks to your stupid plan Danny and I have to watch our backs?! Especially Danny! You know Sassone has some kind of unrelenting grudge against both Mac and Danny! And you know that just because he's locked up doesn't mean he doesn't still have contacts on the outside!" Lindsay's whole body was shaking from anger. She looked like she was gonna hit Stella. Flack looked at Danny, whose eyes were guarded but from the way his jaw was working you could tell he was pissed, as he stepped up to Lindsay and slid his arms around her and pulled her to him as he whispered in her ear. "Montana, calm down, you don't wanna do anything reckless." Mac took the opportunity to step in, knowing Lindsay wasn't about to swing. "Danny, I want you to take Lindsay home. Flack, I'm sure you have work to do." Flack nodded "Stella my office. Now!" "But Mac, the case?" Lindsay asked. "Lindsay, Danny is taking you home. I want the two of you together at all times until I tell you otherwise. You need to keep an eye on each other because I know Danny wont be satisfied with the arrangements unless he can keep an eye on you himself and you can keep him from doing anything rash that he'll regret later. Now go!" They nod and turn to leave.

"Messer" Danny turned to look at Mac as Mac tossed him a set of keys. "Take the truck they'll be watching for your bike." Danny nods and holds the door open for Lindsay. Flack leaves and Mac and Stella go to his office. They go in and as soon as Mac shuts the door. "Oh my god Mac, I didn't know they were Tanglewood! I just thought they needed a little push"

"Enough" Mac said as he pointed to a chair. And Stella sat. "We need to keep a close eye on them. Especially in the field." Stella nodded. "Danny had already came to me, when we found you two. Mac picked up his phone and made a call. "Flack" "Don its Mac I want you to shadow them until they get to one of their apartments and stay there." "Gotchya" Flack goes down into the garage and saw them.

Lindsay sitting in the truck Danny standing in front of her. "Cowboy, If I had known what she had planned I wouldn't have gone." (Flack didn't hear her call Danny cowboy) "Montana, it ain't your fault" "But because of me you, you told them I'm your girl" Danny placed a finger on her lips to quiet her. "Montana, Don't worry about it. No matter what I do or don't do...no matter what I tell them or don't tell them...I have to watch my back. Because I chose a real life. Now get in the truck. We'll go by your place and grab you some clothes and things and we'll go back to mine, okay?" Lindsay nods and scoots into the truck flashing Danny and Don, the hottest thing they'd ever seen, unintentionally.

...whoa! He told them Lindsay was his girl!?... Don thought as he got in to his car.
