Chapter 1
Lindsay sat at her desk working on some reports. Well, more like staring into space then doing her reports. She was alone in their shared office and she hadn't seen Danny for a few days and she knew that his shift had finished a few hours ago. That suited her just fine, every time she looked at him she wanted to cry but there was no way she could let him know that. Just then her phone started to ring.
"Monroe"
"Lindsay, its Mac, I need you over to the Jenson crime scene"
"Okay, I on my way now"
She flipped her phone shut stood up and went to collect her crime scene pack. Within 5 minutes she was on the road.
"So what we got!" called out Lindsay as she was walking down old wooden stairs to the cellar. She came to a complete stop as she looked straight in to the eyes of the man she loved and who had broken her heart.
"Hey Montana"
"Danny"
"Looks like two over in the corner – it's not a pretty sight"
"Right, okay. I'll just go get me kit, I left it in the SVU" and she started back up the steps but stopped again when he spoke again
"One of these days we are going to have that talk Montana. We have to" he called after her as she all but run back up the stairs.
"We have to" we whispered to himself again "I can be without you"
Just as her foot reached the top step she heard a funny noise coming for above her. She looked up in time to see a beam give way. Forgetting that she was on steps she stepped backwards in to the empty space.
At that moment all hell broke loose
Danny heard the strange noise and looked back round. Then everything seemed to go in slow motion. He could see Lindsay falling towards the cellar floor a good 15 feet. But that was not all it looked as if the building above was collapsing right on top of them.
"Lindsay" he shouted as he rushed to catch her before she hit the floor, but he was too late. He saw her land hard on the concrete floor. He dived on top of her so she wouldn't get buried in the rubble as the building continued to fall down around them.
"I'm here baby, its all okay honey" he could feel things landing on him hitting him hard on the back and legs but his only though was for the woman beneath him. She was out cold, and he could see blood on the concrete by her head. "Montana" he whispered as he gently stroked her hair from out of he eyes. He was willing her to open her eyes but she didn't.
The building continued to fall around them for a while longer then it all started to go quiet but the dust was everywhere.
"Montana" he whispered again. Then he felt something hit him on the side of the face but that was the last thing he felt for a while as he passed out in pain.
