Thank you for all of your support for my stories! This is a little three-chapter bonus story based on a prompt from emmamarypoland on Tumblr. The prompt was:

Based on the promo for "Family Law', but with changes. Instead of Tao going undercover with the call girl, Taylor has Andy do it.

I'm posting all three chapters together since the story is complete and the episode airs Monday. As always, I welcome your feedback. I do not own Major Crimes or any of the fabulous characters. That honor belongs to James Duff and co. I just enjoy writing about them.

Chapter One

"So, basically, what you're telling me, Captain, is that we have no leads on this case," Taylor bellowed from across his desk. Sharon allowed her eyes to briefly look up at the ceiling before returning her gaze back to her superior officer.

"Chief, we're working every angle we can," she assured him. Next to her, Provenza shifted. The squad had ended up with a wealthy murder victim and a web of crime including prostitution and well-connected drug dealers.

"You know how these cases are, Chief. No one wants to talk," he said. Taylor shook his head.

"I don't like the media attention this one is getting. We're coming across as incompetent," he replied, but held up his hand when he saw the two officers in front of him begin to protest. "I know that's not the case, but it's all about perception. I want to lean harder on the girlfriend".

"She won't talk to us," Provenza said annoyed.

"That's because you're cops," Taylor replied and both Sharon and Provenza looked confused.

"What exactly are you suggesting, Chief," Sharon asked.

"That she talk to someone she doesn't know is a cop," he said simply, and Sharon nodded in understanding.

"An undercover op?" Provenza asked surprised. Taylor nodded.

"I'll call SIS and start coordinating everything," Sharon replied before starting to turn to leave.

"Hold up, Captain. We don't need to involve SIS in this one. I'm thinking much smaller. Just your division. We send someone in and get her to talk," he explained.

"But, Chief, Trish is a high-priced call girl," Sharon said.

"I know, so we don't send you or Amy," he stated. Sharon considered his idea for a moment.

"I can send Mike in, set him up as a potential customer," she said, thinking aloud.

"I had someone else in mind," Taylor said and both she and Provenza looked at him with confusion on their faces. "Flynn. He's a more convincing playb-" he started, but quickly changed course when he realized who he was talking to. "Customer". Sharon instantly began to protest.

"Chief, I have to disagree. Sending Lieutenant Flynn in is not a good idea-" she stated before Taylor cut her off.

"Captain, I understand your objections here. Believe me, but this is the best plan for solving this case," he assured her, and Provenza seemed to agree.

"I'm not objecting as his girlfriend! I'm objecting as his boss," she said suddenly, and both men became quiet. "Lieutenant Flynn is barely recovered from falling off of a moving car and then the surgery to remove a blood clot that resulted from that fall. Putting him into another dangerous situation so soon does not seem like the best idea," she argued, but Taylor shook his head.

"Just knocking on someone's door is a dangerous situation in this line of work, Captain. Look, I'm not insensitive to Lieutenant Flynn's injuries, but it's been over six months, and he seems fine. Besides, he'll have all of you keeping him safe," he assured her.

"Trish's boyfriend is a dangerous man, and may I remind you, the prime suspect in this brutal murder. We don't know if he keeps tabs on her or if he'll make the lieutenant for a cop," she argued.

"Which is all still true no matter who you send in. It's not up for discussion, Captain. Prep Flynn. I want this set up for tonight," he concluded, and Sharon and Provenza exited his office.

Provenza tried to keep up with her as she walked briskly down the hallway, her heels clicking loudly on the floor.

"Captain! Captain," he called after her, but she kept going. "Sharon!" He yelled and she turned around on her heels, arms crossing in front of her. She waited for him to catch up.

"Yes, Lieutenant," she challenged with a raise of her eyebrow.

"I know why you don't want to do this and I don't blame you. Hell, no one is going to-" he began, but she interrupted.

"This is not a personal reaction," she warned and he scoffed.

"Of course it is!" He protested and she narrowed her eyes. "You're worried about him. It's a dangerous situation, and I know you, you'd be worried no matter who went in," he assured her. She seemed to relax. "You two have gone out of your way to keep this thing between you out of the office, and you've succeeded. But nobody expects you to be robots! You're sending your boyfriend into harms way. You're allowed to be worried about him both as his girlfriend and his captain".

She looked properly chastised and a bit at a loss for words. Provenza had to suppress the smirk that threatened to cross his lips. She let out a sigh.

"Ok, you're right. I am worried about him. I don't like this," she admitted quietly. He nodded.

"We'll make sure nothing happens to him," Provenza assured her.

"Thank you," she said sincerely and he nodded. They continued their path back to the murder room to begin planning the operation.

"You want me to pose as the John?" Andy asked, a bit taken aback. He had joined Provenza in Sharon's office right after they had returned from a meeting with Taylor.

"Well, it isn't so much us as it is Taylor, but-" Provenza started, but Sharon interrupted him.

"It is the Chief's idea, but I'm inclined to agree," Sharon said suddenly, and Provenza looked at her with a surprised expression on his face. "You are the best person for the job, Andy," she added sincerely. Despite her reservations, she had to concede that Taylor had a point. Andy looked surprised, but nodded.

"Yeah, okay, sure. Just let me know what you need me to do," he said a bit hesitantly. He wasn't sure that this assignment was the best idea, but it seemed Sharon was confident in the decision.

"Mike and Buzz are setting up the technical aspects as we speak, and Julio is arranging your... uh... date for the evening to ensure it's Trish," Sharon explained. "Amy is securing the hotel rooms, so we should be able to set-up well ahead of Trish's arrival".

"Oh, you're going to be there, then?" He asked, hoping his surprise and uneasiness wasn't obvious. It wasn't that he didn't want Sharon there, it was just that he didn't want to be distracted by worrying about her reaction to the assignment.

"Yes, we need all hands on deck for this. Mario could be watching his girlfriend knowing that we'd target her as the weak link," she said. "But Andy, I expect you to do your job. No matter what," she explained, her eyes never leaving his. He knew what she was doing, reading his mind and telling him not to worry about her. She understood what he had to do. He nodded. Provenza studied the two of them. What was it with these two and their unspoken language? They'd had it for as long as he could remember even before she transferred to his division. Back then it was all hostility and glares, but they seemed to be able to speak and understand each other without words.

"Of course," he assured her before turning to leave her office, Provenza in tow.

"Andy," she called out, and he turned around. Provenza kept going and left her office to give them some privacy. Sharon walked around her desk and came to stand in front of him. Her hands went straight to his tie and began straightening it. Another unspoken gesture. This one meant, "I love you, but I can't show you right now".

"Stay safe," she said quietly, a small concerned smile lifted the corners of her mouth. He placed his hands on top of hers stilling her motion on his tie. Then, he wrapped his fingers around hers gently.

"Always," he promised before squeezing her hands. He couldn't hold her right now, so he'd allow his hands to hold hers instead. She smiled. They shared a moment of meaningful looks before he let go of her hands and left her office.

She watched him walk over to his desk and settle into his chair before she turned back to her own. She let out a sigh. It was going to be a long night.
