"Taylor I don't understand why it must be Andy and I, aren't Sykes or Tao able to go?" Sharon asked but already knew the answer. It had to be Andy and her, they fit the bill perfectly.
"Because we need two old… I mean seasoned officers who act like a married couple who have undercover experiences." Taylor replied.
"It is settled, get your supplies from Tao and grab your luggage then meet at Philo state park."
"Yes boss" Sharon and Andy both groaned.
Sharon didn't hate this man she just disliked him. He always gave her a hard time about everything but little did she know that he didn't hate her either. Andy disliked her but didn't hate her, he thought she was a pain in the ass but he respected her for putting up with him and everyone's bullshit. And it was different now. She wasn't the raging bitch from FID coming top investigate him, she was his boss, she was on his side more or less.
It was about 5:00 pm when they both arrived at Mount Philo state park. The mission was to get more dirt on the park rangers who have been suspected of a series of killings in the park. Sharon and Andy began to unpack their luggage and tents when a park ranger Bill, who they were investigating drove up behind them.
"Hey folks, my name is Bill. If you guys ever need anything to be afraid to holler." He offered.
Nervously Sharon and Andy awkwardly stood together arm and arm. "Hi Bill I am Steve and this is my wife Jessica" Sharon flinched at the word wife. It made her want to throw up.
"Nice to meet you both. Hey what's up with two tents and two cars?" Bill asked curiously.
"Oh we just met each other here after work. I must have forgot that he was picking up a tent. Silly me." Sharon giggled.
"Oh well here just keep one in your car, I will walk you guys up to the grounds."
"Thank you but that isn't necessary." Andy chimed in.
"No no it's my duty. Need help with you're bags?" Bill asked Sharon
"No I think i got it all." She replied pissy, Andy is sleeping outside the tent, not with me. Hell no. Sharon thought to herself.
Once they said goodbye to Bill and found a place they began to unpack. There was no one else there, they had the grounds to themselves.
"I am going back to get that tent." Sharon said, walking away from Andy.
Andy softly grabbed her arm,he noticed there it was surprisingly soft, "Hey I don't like the idea of this either but we are supposed to be a married couple, we don't need him to be suspicious. We just got here." Sharon had a quick thought about Andy touching her that wasn't PG but quickly whipped it away after realizing who she was thinking about. She pulled her arm away. "Fine, but you are sleeping outside."
"I expected nothing different." Andy replied.
Sharon started to fumble with the tent prompting Andy to ask "need some help?"
"No I can do it." Sharon replied just moments before the tent flew back hitting her in the boob.
"Are you ok?" Andy asked rushing to her side.
"Yes, I am fine."
"Here let me help, I used to be a Boy Scout in my younger years." Andy offered.
Sharon stepped away to watch the master. "Really? I cant picture you as a Boy Scout." Sharon joked.
"Hey I wasn't always this recovering alcoholic douchebag when i was 10." Andy said with somewhat of a frown.
"Lieutenant I didn't mean it like that. It was just a joke."
"Andy is fine."
"And so is Sharon.
"How are your kids?" Andy asked trying to fill the awakes silence.
"They are good, Rusty is adjusting well and Emily loves traveling. But I haven't talked to Ricky in a little while, he's been busy. How about Nicole?"
"Oh that's great, she's good, she just got a new job that she loves and it pays pretty well so she's happy." Andy replied with a smile.
"That's great I'm happy for her." Sharon said with such a genuine smile. Andy noticed the smile returned the favor. He doesn't often see The Ice Queen smile but when she does he doesn't mind seeing it.
"Me too." Replied Andy. After a few minutes of silence Andy finished the tent and stood back looking at his work of art. "All set." He cheered.
"Great thank you." Sharon offered half a smile and began to put her things in the tent. She laid down her sleeping bag, pillows and extra blanket if needed, then placed her book, glasses and small bag of clothes/necessities. She was all set up. Meanwhile Andy made himself a bed a few feet away from the tent. He first laid down the tarp and then made himself a bed like situation on the ground. Sharon felt somewhat cruel for making him sleep on the ground but on the other hand where else was he going to sleep? Not with me Sharon thought.
"You hungry?" Andy asked.
"I could eat, why? What do you have in your bag of tricks?" Sharon asked as Andy pulled out a large sized bag full of food, toiletries, clothes, etc.
Andy pulled out a mini cooler full of hot dogs and sausages. "Maybe we could start a fire and roast them?"
"That sounds like a great idea. But don't we need fire wood?" Sharon asked. There was a small fire pit in the middle of campground where they were staying.
"Yeah do you want to come with me or stay here?" Andy asked.
"I will stay and hold down the fort." Sharon replied, she didn't want to be with him any more than she needed too but in some odd way she began to actually somewhat enjoy his company. So she changed her mind. "Wait, hold on, i will go. It might look suspicious if we don't go together you know?"
"Sure." Andy laughed, he truly didn't mind her company either.
