A/N: So this fic came out of a conversation between myself and themagnificentsquid on tumblr. It was one of those wouldn't it be great if...conversations that got my creative juices flowing. Really though, Syd you are an amazing cheerleader, partner in crime, and beta. This wouldn't have been written without you! This is the first of several chapters. So enjoy and tell me how much you loved or hated it (nicely though please)!

Sharon's heels clicked against the tiled floor of the murder room, her measured pace taking her to the interview room. Needing to verify last minute facts, she turned to her left expecting Lt. Flynn to be close behind her shoulder, close enough to talk to without raising her voice. To her surprise he wasn't there. Her surprise knocked her out of step.

"Captain," Tao asked to her right, "everything all right?"

She stopped walking completely and faced him. "Where is Lt. Flynn, he was just here a minute ago."

In answer he pointed down the hall towards Andy's desk. The man in question was leaning against his desk, on his phone, big smile on his face."

"Nicole." Sharon smiled softly.

"I wouldn't be so sure about that, Captain, he's been talking about a new woman he's been seeing lately." Tao smiled and waggled his eyebrows, but soon got back to business when he noticed the slight downturn of his boss' lips. "Was there something you needed to ask him?"

She looked back at him, her troubled features clearing quickly as she said, "I've forgotten." She spun around, her hair swishing behind her. "Let's go close this case."

"Yes ma'am."

"Captain, we have a problem."

Sharon rubbed her hand over her face and looked at her bedside clock. "It's 3 am, somebody better be dead."

"Oh they're dead."

Before he could continue Sharon could hear a muffled "Louie, baby when can we go it's cold and that body is gross."

"What is going on, Lieutenant?" Sharon felt a headache starting, it was too early to deal with a Flynn and Provenza problem.

"Well you see, we were driving along, coming home from dinner, when a body just sorta fell from the sky."

Sharon stifled a sigh, it was going to be a long day. "I'll call Taylor."

Sharon arrived on the scene, anything involving Flynn and Provenza made the brass nervous so Taylor told her that her presence was necessary. Making sure Rusty had an alarm set and wouldn't freak out when he woke up and she was gone had taken longer than she had thought so she ended up arriving to the crime scene 45 minutes after her phone conversation with Chief Taylor. Uniforms were on the scene already, a perimeter set up and barricaded. Buzz was filming Tao and the morgue tech examining the body.

Sharon scanned the scene and pinpointed the two men who she needed to talk to. They were huddled around Provenza's crown vic with their dates. Provenza was, for lack of a better word fussing, over a blonde who was way too young for him. Flynn and his date were more sedate. They were leaning against the hood, his arm around her shoulders. Even in heels she was shorter than he was, looked to be around her mid-forties, her red-brown hair fell in soft waves to her shoulders. Sharon couldn't see a lot of her outfit because she was wearing Flynn's leather jacket, but from what she could see, the woman had good taste.

Walking up to them she asked, "I need details."

The blonde started talking, "Well it happened all sudden like, Louie was just driving along telling a funny story and BAM the lady hit the ground."

Sharon stared at the blonde, unimpressed, before turning to Provenza, her expression demanding a full accounting.

"We were driving toward the 10, to drop off Flynn and Sherri, and we were about twenty feet away when the body hit the ground. I pulled over to get a better look, I figure that it was from one of the balconies from that hotel." Provenza pointed to the building looming above them, there was at least fifteen stories, all with a column of rooms with balconies. "I looked around for suspicious activity, or someone peeking over the edge of one of the balconies and I didn't see anything."

"He's right, Captain. Since the body hit the ground the only activity on the street has been us and a few rubberneckers," Flynn spoke up.

"Okay I'm going to need to you two to talk with the hotel staff and see if they've had any reported disturbances in the last two or three hours." Sharon had begun to turn away, ticking off one item on her delegation list, to talk with Tao and the morgue tech.

She didn't get far before she was called back. "Excuse me, Captain..."

She half turned, she didn't have time for this. "Raydor."

"Right." Sherri smiled thinly. "Captain Raydor. It's almost 4:30 in the morning and I have a brunch with my client in seven hours. I need to get home and Andrew has been awake for almost 24 hours straight, he needs to rest."

Sharon smiled her honey-sweet smile, the one she reserved for defense attorneys and charismatic perps. "I'll get a uniform to drive you and..." she turned to the blonde prompting her to respond with her name.

"Brittney." She smiled at Sharon.

"...Brittney home, while Andy and Provenza do their jobs." Sherri was about to protest but Raydor held up her index finger stopping her. "Lt. Flynn is a big boy and I'm sure he can handle staying up all night."

Sherri's face transformed from upset to a cat got the cream smile. "Oh, I know he can."

Sharon gave her a tight smile and walked away, missing Provenza saying, "Oh good god," under his breath.

Yes I left it there...now leave a little review guise, pwease! The next chapter will be up tomorrow!
