Misinterpretation
"Do you hear that?" Burk asked as he stopped in the hallway with Miller at his side. Miller gave the man an odd look as he heard nothing until a low groan sounded a lot like Danny. The groaning continued and for a moment they wondered if the man was taking a dump as he was not quiet about his business. But then a feminine moan followed with the sound of rushed breathing. Miller and Burk exchanged looks as they both tried to not let their minds go to the gutter. But curiosity was getting the better of them. While sex was strictly prohibited, it didn't mean that no one stuck to the rules. They wanted to know who Danny was with.
"Where's it coming from?" Miller asked him as they moved closer to the walls to source where the noise was coming from.
"I don't know- wait, found it." Burk said as he had climbed up part of the wall and plastered his ear to air vent. He wore a goofy grin as the sounds continued. "Who do you think the Lieutenant is plugging into?" he asked as Miller climbed up to join him. The man wore a matching grin as it sounded like the two were really getting it on.
"Who knows? Where do you think this leads?" Miller asked him as the couple were mixing dirty talk in with their exchange. 'Take me', 'come on', 'give it to me', 'you can do better' were being peppered into the mix. It sounded entirely too hot and explicit to believe it was happening. The female voice was just too quiet to really identify her.
"No clue." Burk told him with a chuckle as he continued to listen.
"Yes!" Kara said, her voice carrying crystal clear through the vent, Miller and Burk's eyes went wide as the female was identified. Lt Foster? they couldn't believe it given how straight laced she was. "Yes!" she exclaimed as it was clear she was having a good time.
"Lt Foster?" Miller said in a low voice, as it clearly hadn't crossed his mind at all.
"Damn, figures." Burk quipped in disappointment as he'd be interested in her. But now he knew she was more interested in Mr Navy Seal. Well, there was no chance for him now.
"What are you two doing?" XO Slattery demanded, appearing out of nowhere. He had a knack of sneaking up on people. Miller and Burk froze for second as their asses were busted. They dropped down to the ground and stood to attention as Commander Slattery looked at them waiting for an answer. Miller was beet red and Burk swallowed as he was scrambling for something.
"I thought I heard something rattling in the air vent. We were just checking it out, Sir." Burk explained, hoping it passed muster. It sounded lame to his ears, the XO quirked an eyebrow at him as he heard nothing.
"I doubt it, the vent connects to the Gym. The rattling is probably the sound of someone lifting weights. But if it's bothering you, you can report it to engineering." Commander Slattery informed them in a mocking manner, a tiny smile playing on his lips before he continued on his way.
Miller and Burk exchanged looks, they took off to the Gym, when they got there; they peeked through the open door. Kara was doing what could only be described as a victory dance with her back to the door. Danny was laying on the floor looking like he was dead.
"Suck it, Green. I own you and now you owe me your chocolate pudding cups for the week." Kara told Danny, she gave an evil chuckle as she finished her dance and held out her hand to him. Danny waved it off but stayed on the ground.
"I'm good, I'm just going to lay here for a while. Salvage what's left of my dignity." he told her in a slightly pained voice. Kara laughed and just as she turned, Burk and Miller moved from the open door two men confused but then mildly amused as they realised the 5ft 2 tall brunette just kicked a 6ft Navy Seal's ass. They was no way they were going to keep this to themselves.
