The Missing Scene from 3x18 "Slight Out of Hand." D/L. First time they slept together, but Danny's passed out from exhaustion. Mostly just fluff.

Disclaimer: Sadly I don't own any of the characters.

Danny smiled as Lindsey sat beside him after her testimony. He was exhausted after the last case, but he knew he wouldn't sleep worth anything after Stella had mentioned that Lindsey didn't sound good. That had prompted this cross country excursion. The defendant turned to glare at Lindsey, so Danny just put his arm around Lindsey and glared back. The defendant turned back to face forward. They listened to the testimony of a few more people who didn't really have anything tremendously revealing to the case. The defendant didn't turn around again, but Danny kept his arm across the back of her bench anyway. The judge declared recess and stated that they would reconvene in the morning for closing arguments. Danny followed Lindsey out of the courthouse.

"Are you hungry? " Lindsey asked. "I didn't really have much of an appetite for breakfast or lunch for that matter."

" I don't remember when I last ate either."

"Do we need to get your car out of the garage?" she asked indicating the parking garage attached to the courthouse.

"No, I took a cab here from the airport. Didn't do the rental thing."

"Well, I left my rental car at the hotel and walked over this morning. But there's a 24 hour diner just around the block that we used to eat at all the time. The food may not be the best, but we ate there all the time."

Danny just grinned at the thought of flying 2,000 miles just to eat at the local cop diner, but for Lindsey he'd eat anywhere. "Just lead the way, Montana."
