Alternate Scotty/Lilly POV's

The Road Trip From Hell

Chapter 1: All Roads Lead To Hollywood

Lilly's POV

Our current case was an interesting one. In the late eighties string of murders involving several hitchhiker had occurred around Philly. One of the victims managed to survive although her boyfriend was killed but unfortunately for the investigators at the time she suffered amnesia, her family took her back home to LA and she recently got her memory back. So Boss Okayed it for two of us to go there and see if she could remember anything.

I jumped at the chance to go on a road trip; especially one that would take me as far away from Philly as possible. The rest of the gang drew straws to see who would come with me and as if the gods were torturing me, Scotty was the one who drew the short straw and that's why we are now stuck together at thirty thousand feet with no possibility of escape.

I can't believe it; I choose to go to LA so that I could get away from Philly and the whole Scotty/Chris debacle. We sit in the plane together and I refuse to even look at him, he has tried to start conversations but I shut them all down. I know he is trying to get me to forgive him for our screaming match in the foyer last week, but I am just not ready to forgive him yet.

He lied to me, in front of everybody. I asked him if he was sleeping with her and he said he wasn't stepin out with her. I had to find out from Chris that she was seeing him when I took her out for her birthday. I had to hear from her she was screwing my partner and my best friend and it drove me insane; imagining her with Scotty made me sick and as mad as when I caught her with Patrick.

Now I know what you're thinking, Scotty isn't Patrick. It wasn't like I was engaged to him or even dating him. But it was the fact that she has wormed her way into his life and started stuffing it up, just after Elisa died to.

Scotty has started showing up to work drunk and once or twice I've caught him drinking while at work. This is not the guy I wanted as my partner, I knew he was hurting but this was the wrong way to go about it. I sighed and looked out the window, the stewardess came passed

"Detectives, Can I get either of you anything" She asked in her southern accent and Scotty shook his head, then I heard him start to flirt with her. God why was it always about sex with him, I guess that's all Chris was to him. Someone to screw until he got over Elisa, all of a sudden I felt his eyes on me again.

"Would you stop staring at me Valens" I said in frustration.

"I am not staring at you, Rush" he said and I could tell he was getting frustrated.

"Just go back to ogling the stewardess"

"I am sorry Lil; I just want things to be alright between us"

"Well there not" I snapped

"Seriously Lil I just don't understand why this bothers you so much" He said and I felt my rage boiling over.

"She told you one of the worst things that happened in my life, something that she did and you don't even care. You just go right on screwing her" I snapped.

I heard him sigh "If I could take it back Lil I would"

"Just leave me alone" I said and turned to face the window again. The flight seemed to drag on forever; I decided that maybe I'd get some sleep. So I took out my IPod and turned it up loud, trying to drown out my situation. Scotty was tapping the armrest in time with my music and it was starting to tick me off so I turned it up louder and turned away from him even more, wishing that when I turned back around I be all alone.

The plane landed and I got up almost immediately and pushed past him just wanting to get a moment to myself. I wanted for a while at least to pretend that I hadn't come here, miles from home with the one person I currently couldn't stand apart from Chris. He caught up with me when we were waiting for our bags.

"Look Lil, I know I ain't your favourite person at the moment"

"Wow no wonder they made you a detective, you figured that out on your own" I said sarcastically.

"Look can we just agree to try and get along while were here" He said and I shrugged. I could tell my shutting him out was really annoying him but I wasn't about to just forgive him at least not while he was still seeing her.

"Fine" I finally said and I grabbed my bag off the carousel and wheeled it towards the exit. Even the bright LA sunshine was not lighting my mood. Scotty and I grabbed a taxi and headed over to the LA PD Headquarters to check in with one of Boss's old friends and the lieutenant of the homicide unit in LA, Lt Rodger Dickson.

A/N: What do you guys think, I have something interesting planed for our two Detectives. Something that will see them spend a whole lot more time together. Please Read and review, I am open to suggestions as well. Anything I should throw at our intrepid investigators?
