Hey Everyone!

This is my first story ever on here. I figured start small and see how it goes. :) Please read and review. Comments are greatly appreciated.

"Don't do it Andy."

"Don't do what?" Andy looked at Traci quizzically as they walked side by side into parade.

"Don't move in with Luke." Traci whispered under her breath, aware of the eavesdroppers that were around her.

"What?" Andy said as they took their seats next to one another at the front of the room. Before Traci could add to her warning, Best started that mornings parade. Andy didn't hear a word of it.

As they got up to leave the room Andy grabbed Traci's arm to hold her back wearily looking after Dov, Chris, and Gail who were conversing amongst themselves."I'm sorry, but when did you become anti-Luke."

"I'm not anti-Luke."

"Oh really." Andy stated pointedly crossing her arms and resting into her right hip.

"Listen, all I'm saying is that maybe it's not such a great idea for the two of you to move in together." Traci moved to leave and Andy followed.

"Why?" Andy asked as she tailed Traci.

"Why." Traci stopped and turned around on her heal to face her friend. "Because I know you, and I know you're doing this for all the wrong reasons." She gave Andy a meaningful look and turned and continued to walk.

"What wrong reasons? Like happiness and caring for someone who cares for you." Andy said sarcastically once again following Traci to the door.

Traci turned making sure no one could hear them from outside. "Like moving too fast for the sake of being with the 'right guy'" she quoted with her fingers for emphasis " and, oh, I don't know maybe because of someone by the name of Sam Swarek."

Andy was silent for a moment as she just processed what Traci was saying, trying to choose her next words carefully.

"I don't know what you're talking about." She said non-challantly

"Rii-ght" Traci said as she went for the door handle walking outside to join the others. Andy stayed in the parade room for a few moments. Re-playing the conversation she just had. It was then that she became frantic and defensive. She stormed out of parade to follow Traci once again.

"You're the one who told me to put him on ice." She whispered to Traci as she pulled her into an interview room.

"Yeah well that worked real well didn't it." Her words laced with sarcasm.

"Are you referring to the undercover assignment, because that's all it was undercover, we were acting." She emphasized her words with violent hand movements.

"Come on Andy, you looked like you were on cloud nine when you told me about it."

"It was nothing."

"It was totally not nothing." They squared off, one on each side of the table Andy with her hands spread shoulders width apart on the table, Traci with her arms crossed and hip popped. It was silent for a moment and then Andy threw her hands in the air in self defeat.

"Your right it wasn't nothing." She held her head in her hand. "Traci what am I going to do?"

"I'll tell you what your not going to do. Move in with Luke." It was Traci's turn to rest her fingertips on the table. Andy went to say something, but at that moment the door opened.

"Ladies, is there a problem?" Jerry asked as he walked into the room calm and cool with joking tone to his voice. Andy and Traci looked at each other and then looked at the table not knowing what to say. Jerry lost his smile and glanced between the two. "Did I interrupt something?" He asked completely clueless.

"No." Andy said as she moved to leave. "Trac, I'll call you later." Traci nodded, and said "Sure," but Andy was out the door before she could hear it. Traci then glared at Jerry.

"What?" He held his hands up in defense. She shook her head this time and left the interview room. Leaving Jerry to follow her.

"Can I ask what that was about?"

"Ahh, No you can't." Traci said as she sat down at her desk. Jerry stopped and was silent for moment as he contemplated his next move. He took a deep breath and made his way around to the front of the desk and leaned over it.

"Can I ask you to dinner then instead?" He said smiling at her. Traci looked up from her paperwork and smiled as well, leaning back in her chair to observe him and then leaning forward as well.

"Yes you can." They stayed like that for a moment enjoying the closeness of each other, until Dov and Chris rounded the corner. Jerry jumped back and Traci immediately scrambled to look busy with paperwork. "So yeah if you could send me those reports ASAP, that would be great." He said as he fiddled with his blackberry.

"I'll get right on that sir." Traci said as she tapped a stack of papers on the desk.

"Great." He said smiling at her again as Dov and Chris stopped at the desk.

"Great." She smiled back. There was silence as Traci watched him walk away.

"Honestly Trac, we know you two are dating, you guys don't have to pretend around us." Dov said teasingly, breaking the silence.

"Yeah we won't tell anyone." Chris piped in. Traci peered up at them from her paperwork piles her eyes darting from one to the other. She went back to her paperwork.

"Yeah, well, I don't really feel like broadcasting it to everyone." Sighing as she actually looked at what she needed to get done today. "Did you guys need something?" She asked not even looking up.

"No not really." Dov said shaking his head as a grin spread across his face and Chris's. "We just wanted to see what would happen if we came over here while you and Detective Barber were wistfully staring at each other." It was Traci's turn to smile even though she wanted to be mad.

"You guys are awful."

"Awful, but effective." Chris said as he moved to walk way. "Barber jumped about twenty feet in the air. You have to admit it was priceless." Dov laughed with him as they walked towards the locker room. Traci just smiled to herself and shook her head. After a couple of minutes of filing and checking messages, her phone started to ring. She looked around make sure no one was around and answered.

"Hello."

"So am I an awful person?" The voice was frantic on the other end.

"Andy?"

"Like really, really awful right?" She started pacing.

"Andy where are you?"

"Outside the barn waiting for Sa..I mean officer Swarek."

Traci sighed. "You're not an awful person."

"Trac, good people don't agree to move in with someone when they have feelings for someone else." Andy said leaning against the car.

"You are over thinking this…" Andy interrupted her "Story of my life." Traci continued. "I was just saying that maybe you should consider some of this stuff that's going on outside your tunnel vision before combing CD collections. It's a big step."

Andy responded with an exasperated "uggh." The front desk phone started ringing.

"I got to go Andy the other line is ringing."

"okay." Andy almost whispered and hung up.

Traci closed her phone she then took a moment to take a deep breath and answer the phone."Hello, 15th division non-emergency number, how can I help you today?"
