The elevator doors opened to the crime lab. Lindsay stepped out of the elevator and made her way through the glass hallway to her shared office. Her steps were gleeful and energetic. Rarely did Lindsay come into work like this, so attention was caught by many people in the lab. Several workers watched as she passed by their stations.

Danny sat at his desk in the office, working on a case. He looked up at the sound of her footsteps. His eyebrow rose as he watched enter the office. "You got an admirer."

"What makes you say that?" Lindsay asked.

Danny nodded to her desk. A bouquet of flowers stood in the center of her desk. Daises and all in different colors. Lindsay smiled and sat down at her desk. She took out the card and opened it. Danny watched how Lindsay's eyes seemed to grow brighter as she read the card. A twinge of jealousy shot through him.

Lindsay set the card down and looked up. Danny quickly looked away before Lindsay caught him watching. "You get a hit on the prints we pulled yesterday?"

Danny shook his head. "Nadda one. The partials weren't enough, we only proved that they didn't belong to the vic."

"Ok, so we have some starting point." Lindsay said. She moved the bouquet to the side of her desk.

Adam burst into their office, knocking on the glass door. Lindsay turned in her chair. "I've got the results from the trace Lindsay pulled from under the vics nails."

"What'd you find?" Lindsay asked.

"Male epithelia's. Our perp is male." Adam answered.

"Could the prints belong to this guy?" Danny asked.

Adam shrugged, "It's possible. The only other set of prints that were from the vic and her family, but the epithelia's we pulled don't match to the males in her family."

"Dina's brother said that she doesn't have a boyfriend or any male friends." Lindsay said.

Adam nodded to Lindsay's gift, "Unlike you."

"So this mystery man remains that, a mystery." Danny said sounding a little more agitated than meaning to.

Lindsay leaned her heard on her arm, "So where do we go from here?"

"Back to apartment complex. We've got another victim." Mac said. He stood at the office door. Lindsay and Danny both stood up, grabbing their jackets. They followed Mac down the hall to the elevator.
