I don't own Cold Case. I make my own Scotty and Lilly cold case world as it should be!
The cold case squad was working on a case from 1937, 17 year old Audrey Mason was found strangled on her family's lawn in a rich neighborhood. The family suspected it was one of their staff members, since they didn't think it could possibly be anyone from their ritzy neighborhood. All of the staff were interrogated but all denied any involvement in Audrey's death and there wasn't any evidence without a witness or DNA back then.
They had been working on the case for a couple days and were getting nowhere since most of the people involved had since died and there was very little to go on. They were out having lunch going over the case. "We're getting nowhere" Kat sighed.
"No kidding, we might have to throw in the towel on this one, turn our attention to something we can solve" Will said.
"Come on guys, we cant give up yet, we owe it to our victim" Lilly encouraged them.
"Cant solve em all Rush, I'm with Will on this one, I say we admit defeat and move on" Nick agreed.
Scotty watched Lilly, she frowned, defeated by the rest of the group. Scotty knew how important her victims were to her, that's what made her so good at her job, her devotion and never ending quest to solve a case.
"Is that what we do now? Just give up when it ain't easy? If the damn cases were easy to solve they woulda been solved already, you guys can quit if you want but me and Lil are stayin on it" Scotty said.
"Thanks partner" Lilly smiled appreciatively at him.
"Okay Valens lets have it your way, since you're so confident this case is solvable how bout a little bet on who can solve it first" Nick suggested.
"Why would you wanna make a bet like that when you know you're gonna lose?" Scotty teased.
"If you're so sure Captain Ego, why not take the bet?" Nick asked
"What're the stakes?" Scotty asked.
"If me, Kat or Will solves it you and Rush have to kiss" he said.
"Whoa, what?" Lilly asked, her head snapping up at hearing this, her cheeks growing redder by the second. She glared at Nick.
"Well that's 3 against 2 but what the hell we'll still kick your asses, I'm in, you in Lil?" he asked turning to her.
They stared at each other silently for a moment. Scotty's heartbeat had picked up the second Nick suggested it but he was trying desperately to play it cool.
Lilly turned to look at Nick "Why would you want us to kiss?" she asked.
"Oh come on Rush, you two have been drooling all over each other since day one and the rest of us are bored after all this time of nothing happening" he said.
Scotty took this opportunity to mess with them "How do you know nothing's happened?" he smirked.
"Scotty!" Lilly said smacking his arm "For God's sake don't encourage them!"
Scotty couldn't be dissuaded "Maybe we have kissed, maybe we've had sex, maybe we do it all the time, maybe we're together and you guys have had no clue" Scotty said with a grin.
"Have you?" Kat asked excitedly.
Scotty just shrugged in return.
"No way, Rush woulda freaked out and we woulda noticed" Nick said.
"Hey!" Lilly protested.
"Well he's probably right Lil" Kat agreed. "Damn I was hoping it was true" Kat frowned.
"So if you're not scared Lil, how bout the bet?" Nick asked.
Scotty turned to her "It's just a bet Lil, we're gonna win anyway" he assured her.
Lilly thought for a second and realized he was probably right and besides it would be amazing to kiss Scotty and this might be the perfect opportunity since neither of them would have to initiate it.
"Okay I'm in, but if we win same conditions, you and Kat have to kiss" she smirked.
"Oh hell no!" Kat protested.
"Genius" Scotty smiled approvingly. "But what about Will? None of the stakes involve him" Scotty pointed out.
"I am not kissing any of you" Will said seriously and they all erupted in uncontrollable laughter.
