For Your Eyes Only

Prologue

Nick Buchanan sighed with Frustration as he leaned back in his chair and slammed a file down on his desk finally giving up on finding anything useful in it; Allie Kingston had been driving him crazy, all day long, everyday for the last year. The way she talked, the way she smiled, the way she walked... just the thought of having to work with her so closely was enough to make him lose any rational thinking. He'd had to work with her many times since he'd returned to Homicide, there was no denying that they worked well together, they were a good team, and obviously their superiors had noticed this fact as well, because lately he'd ended up working with her on every case they were given.

There was also no denying that Allie Kingston was a beautiful girl, that simple fact made each day he spent with her all the more harder on him, she was hot, confident, and an independent woman who knew what she wanted, exactly the kind of woman that could turn Nick on easily.

"You ok?" Allie's gentle voice interrupted his thoughts as she approached him and sat herself up on the edge of his desk.

His eyes looked up and met hers; making him smile slightly, "Long day" he lied.

"Tell me about it" Allie sighed, they'd gotten a new case today, and like the beginning of any new case it took some time till things fell into place. "I still don't understand how somebody could not know who would want to hurt their family when their daughter has disappeared and their son has just been murdered".

"Yeah, well they had both moved out of home, you know what some families are like, as soon as the kids are gone they only speak on birthdays and Christmas, the Wildman's kids have both been leading their own lives since they left home" Nick explained, studying her face as she thought.

"Yeah maybe" Allie answered, still looking puzzled.

"Anyway" Nick changed the subject, "we can get out of here, it's five" he told her, standing up and grabbing his jacket of the back of his chair.

"Finally" Allie smiled as she looked up at the clock on the wall to see that he was right, "So what are you doing after work?"

"Nothing"

"Well then why don't we go get a drink then, surely I owe you a beer since we've been working together for so long" she offered.

Nick paused for a moment to try and think clearly, not that it was really possible when she was smiling at him like that, he wanted to go, but his rational mind was telling him it was a bad idea. After all the sexual tension between them that had been building up between them lately, Alcohol was probably not a good ingredient to throw into that. "Maybe another time" he turned her down, mentally cursing his rational side for interfering, "it's been a long day", he added, trying to justify why it wasn't a good idea.

"Alright then" Allie answered, jumping up and grabbing her coat off a chair nearby, "but when we close this case, I'm buying you a beer, ok?"

"Ok, I'll have to hold you too that" he smiled at her, "see you tomorrow" he spoke before walking out of the office area and down to the lift. Once the elevator doors closed he turned around and banged his head against the wall firmly, trying to clear his head of any thoughts of her.

Chapter 1.
