Within thWithin the last few months, Lindsey decided to meet up with her friend Nigel Barrington the previous Mayor of Los Santos; whom she used to work for as a personal driver & bodyguard. After catching up Nigel introduced Lindsey to Ellie & Grady Granger whom eventfully she became friends with. Eventually Lindsey started dipping her toes into the other side of life, being a career cop she never could have dreamed of what it would be like to break the law, let alone one day living the life of a criminal & the next being the poster child good cop. 
At some point down the road of living this dual life with barely seening any of her birth family in recent years, Linds started calling Ellie mom; which quickly evolved  Ellie & Grady deciding to adopt Lindsey as their own. Taking her under their wing & guiding her as she explored her new life. Not entirely knowing her parents so well yet she was slow to open up to them, coming out to Ellie as Bi thinking that they would be mad but instead Ellie took the time to sit there reassuring her new daughter that this changed nothing in her eyes or her father's. this lindsey greatly appreciated even tho she wouldnt fully show it. 
Moving past that night feeling a bit more connected to her mother now, linds started hanging around her father more going on errands with him; keeping her eyes & ears open learning how he & the Barrington Family operates. finding herself close to her new criminal family, Lindsey still somewhat felt as if she could barely talk to her mom or dad of her other life as a cop & firefighter. 
This started to snowball as her emotional state deuterated. Having gained a habbit of walking down the street from the family club to watch the sunset, one night she used this to slip away into the darkness to find a dark place to work her shit out; however the more she was left alone to her thoughts the more traumatic thoughts slipped into her mind; from seeing her best friend kill herself & having to bottle her emotions deep down to think clearly enough to aid her, to the time she'd narrowly survived being thrown from a crashing IAA helicopter after being shot down, to her lost brothers & sisters, friends whom have died in her arms, the countless desperate screams on the radio of friends fighting for their lives echoing through her mind, to surviving terrorist attacks which resulted in things she would never be able to unsee or hear, to the time one chirstmas eve she came across a drunk driver on a snowy road where she found a young mother had been killed; while later notifiying next of kin finding a little girl living in the mother's motor home with no other family to speak of expecting her (the Trooper) to be santa since her mommy said santa would bring a pretty doll for her before she left drunkenly aiming to kill herself.... and everything inbetween, having thought she shoved it all deep down inside, now to find it all surfacing all at once, which was only interupted by muliple texts from her family asking about where she was, already in great torment she couldnt bring herself to admit it & decided to just play it off as being fine, she couldnt go back now; always priding herself of being strong she could not let herself be seen like this; especially not among criminals. 
For days after she longed to feel able to talk to someone, anyone who had any idea of the troubles of her chosen professions but she couldn't trust so much as a soul. Now Lindsey finds herself being tormented by feelings of betraying her oath to serve & protect, having been raised by such a law abiding family this bothers her immensely even if she doesnt show it. she longs to be able to express this but doesnt know how, or if anyone will even care. Finding herself spending time with her Aunt she attempted to speak of her issues but found her Aunt wanting to talk more of her own problems; making lindsey feel as if even her wouldnt so much as give her the time of day.  
Struggling to stay afloat, isolating herself & feeling rather lonely as time goes on, Linds felt as if as if she isn't good enough for anyone; everyone shes dated or let close thus far has hurt her too deeply. she fears if she were to even let someone in close enough that it would be the same repeating painful cycle. for now, she throws herself into her work as a Detective & Agent; being a workaholic; thrill seeking shootout junky; only really feeling alive when her life is on the edge. afterall, how can she worry of her own problems when she has others to help & endless major cases to solve.
For now, Lindsey hides behind her smile as she cracks jokes with the boys, no one truly knowing or bothering to find out to what extent she has truly suffered, making her wise beyond her years. She lays in bed at night, only to get up and work on cases until the wee hours of the morning; too scared to close her eyes and be trapped in the nightly twisted horrors only first responder can truly understand. During her time off duty not being a workaholic she spends tons of time with friends, her dogs and her family which time spend with the ones she cares for the most means the world to her.
