He got in the crime lab, completely rattled by what went on in the car. He found the locker room and just stood at an empty locker that temps used from time to time. He sat his bags down and looked around. He was thinking that this might be nicer than New York. Calleigh and another man walked through the door to find Danny changing his clothes. She would just stare, wondering if now was as good a time as any to ask something that was on her mind since the airport.
"Are you going to stare at me Duquesne?"
She snapped out of trance mode long enough to see Danny standing there and just blushed. Danny cocked a small smile and the other man was puzzled..
"Oh my, I am so sorry. Ryan Wolfe, Danny Messer. Danny, this is Ryan Wolfe."
Ryan shook Danny's hand and he just smiled back at Ryan.
"How long are you in town for?"
"Two weeks or until the case is solved."
Was it Danny or was there a twinge of jealousy in the air. He really liked her, yeah, but he had not once spoken about anything other than the case. She was staring at him like she had seen stars and Ryan had a sort of smug 'I am better than you' expression on his face. Calleigh just smiled and left, letting Danny finish sliding his shoes back on. Ryan walked over and sat on the bench.
"I saw you eyeing her. She is off limits."
Danny shot Ryan and very clear expression of shock.
"I didn't eye anything on her. Her and I met on the plane here and have become good friends. I see no harm in that."
Ryan got off the bench and got right in Danny's face as Sheldon and Calleigh walked through the door.
"I warn you, don't touch her. She is for my eyes only and if you do or I find out, I will make sure you pay."
"Wolfe, back to work. Now, I am only going to tell you once."
The tone of the young woman's voice was cold. He looked over at the two in the doorway and back at Danny.
"Off limits."
"Now."
Ryan was out the door and Danny looked at Sheldon. He made a quick turn toward the door and that just left Danny and Calleigh standing in the locker room alone.
