I've been getting lots of requests for a sequel to "Truth or Dare," but this is all I've got! So here's the deal: you guys want a sequel, you've got to help me come up with the plot!

Disclaimer: Lie to Me is mine... not!

Everyone could tell something had happened between the two. After all, neither of them were very subtle. Not only had Riley taken to calling him 'Eli' instead of the typical 'Loker,' but she'd also started coming in several times a week wearing shirts that Cal swore he'd seen Eli wearing the day before. And as for the researcher in question, well, he'd stopped hitting on every girl with legs that came through their doors, and Cal was sure that it had something to do with the fact that he now smelled suspiciously like the citrus shampoo Riley used.

Other bosses probably wouldn't have liked the arrangement. But they didn't let their relationship affect their work, and that was all Lightman really cared about. Besides, it made for some very interesting conversation when he went for lunch with Foster.

"Cal? Have a minute?" the psychologist knocked, although the door was open.

"Anything for you, love," Cal replied, leaning back in his chair. Gillian entered, holding a manila folder. "What've you got for me?"

"Riley's latest microexpression test results," Gillian said, sucking on a hard candy as Cal flipped through them.

"Interesting," Cal murmured, squinting at the last page of results. "In the past two weeks, her ability to recognize trust and affection has doubled."

Gillian gave him a smirk. "I think you should consider putting Loker back on pay roll."

"Dr. Lightman?"

Cal, Loker, and Riley had been talking in his office when a voice at the door made them turn around. Ria Torres came walking in, looking as cool and aloof as ever. Her eyes flitted over Riley, but her face remained carefully blank. "Who's this?"

"Riley Yung," the younger woman said, offering her hand. "I'm the new intern. You must be Torres."

Torres shook the offered hand, but both Cal and Eli saw a flash of contempt on her face. Eli was sure Riley picked up on it as well, but she didn't say anything. Torres turned to frown at Cal. "You replaced me? I've only been gone a month!"

Lightman raised his hands slightly, as though to fend off her attack. "No, but we were getting pretty swamped around here. We needed the extra help, and Riley needed to learn the finer points of the science."

Now Torres looked really offended. "So you couldn't just give me a little time to work things out? You thought you could just get another Natural to take my place? I can guarantee you she doesn't have the experience I have."

While Riley just looked pissed at the attack on her skills, Loker jumped to her defense. "Hey, you might have more experience pointing out lies, but Riley's better at finding the reason behind them than you ever were."

"Eli…" Riley gave him a warning look.

"Eli? No one ever calls you Eli," Torres stated suspiciously. She took in how the two were standing, Loker slightly in front of Riley, who had a restraining hand on his arm. And their eyes… "How long have you two been sleeping together?"

Cal's eyes widened slightly in shock. Although everyone knew it was going on, no one addressed it directly. Loker's face flushed, but he looked more angry than embarrassed. "Look, Torres, you can't just come back in here out of the blue and act like you understand what's going on! Because you have no idea, no idea!"

"What's going on?" Foster asked, hurrying into the room. "I heard yelling."

"Ask her," Loker growled, glaring at Torres before stalking out of the room.

So, you gonna review?
