They had just finished a case and everyone was wrapping up getting ready to head home. Sharon was at her desk signing reports when there was a knock at her door.

"Come in" she called after clearing her throat.

"Here's the last of it captain" Provenza said, handing her the files

"Thank you lieutenant. Are you headed home?"

"In a few. You should go home too, you don't sound the greatest"

"I'm aware of that, thank you for pointing it out" she laughed a little only for it to turn into a cough.

"I'm sure that paperwork can wait"

"I can handle it lieutenant thank you for your concern. Have a good night."

Provenza stood there a minute debating arguing with her. He decided to get his idiot partner to try and talk some sense into her. They were pretending they were just friends but he wasn't blind. He headed out the door and towards the break room.

"Flynn!" He yelled over his shoulder before leaving the room completely.

Andy slowly got up from his chair and followed his partner.

"What do you want?" he asked as he entered the break room.

"I need you to talk to the captain?"

"Why? What's wrong with Sharon?"

"Don't call her that." He stated rolling his eyes. "She just needs to go home"

"Why?"

"Surely as much as you stare at her, you noticed she was sick."

"I do not"

"Oh please!"

"Look were just friends will you let it go. And yea I noticed she was a little under the weather but she said she was fine."

"Oh and you just took her word for it?"

"What is it you expect me to do?"

"Why don't you go figure out a way to get your "friend" to go home"

"Seriously we're just friends. Besides what makes you think Sharon is going to listen to me."

"I'm sure you can find a way to persuade the CAPTAIN." He groans headed for the door.

"Would you let it go we are just friends. Do I ask you about Patrice?"

"Oh shut up you idiot."

Both men head back to the murder room. Andy goes to his desk to finish up his paperwork before heading to Sharon's office. Provenza tells everyone to head on home for the night. Sharon glances out her window seeing everyone pack up. She saw Andy and Provenza head to the break room and that he's plotting to get her out of there. She gets up and heads for her office door.

"Goodnight everyone and great work today. Enjoy your weekend off." She said leaning against her door frame.

"Goodnight ma'am." Julio stated

"Yea see you Monday captain." Tao added.

"Goodnight captain! Aren't you leaving too?" Amy asked

"Yes Amy I'm just going to finish a few things. I will see you all Monday." And with that she re entered her office and closed the door.

As everyone slowly filed out Provenza nodded to his partner before leaving himself. Andy drew in a breath and stood heading for Sharon's office door. He knocked then opened the door before she could answer.

"Let me guess Provenza sent you to make sure I left." She asked as he closed the door behind him.

"What makes you say that" she gave him that knowing look over her glasses. " yea yea maybe he did, but I was gunna check on you either way."

"I appreciate it Andy really but I'm fine. It's nothing a cup of tea and some rest can't fix."

"Are you sure? I mean you look a little flushed."

"Well thank you for pointing that out" she say with a smile. After straightening her desk she stands a little to quickly and wavers a little.

"Let me take you home"

"Andy, really I just stood up to fast I'm fine."

"No your not. You're sick and I'm not letting you drive home like that.
So do I need to carry you out or are you going to go willingly?" He asked grabbing her stuff.

"I think your forgetting I'm the captain. Nevertheless I'll go, but, you don't scare me." She smirked walking past him and headed for the elevator.

"So damn stubborn." He mumbled

"I heard that!" She called over her shoulder.

It was a silent ride in the elevator but a comfortable silence. As they were making their way across the parking garage Sharon's vision was slowly starting to blur.

"Andy!" she whispered reaching for his arm.

He barely had time to turn around before Sharon collapsed into him. Andy lifted her and quickly carried her over and placed her in the passenger seat. He could feel how hot her body was. He got his phone out and dialed Rusty to see what medicine they had at home. He informed him Sharon was sick and that he was driving her home, but didn't want to worry him so he skipped the fainting part.

"Hang in there Sharon." He said pulling out of the garage and heading for the condo.

He knew she was too sick to drive herself home. He wasn't leaving her side till she was feeling better.
