Chapter 2
"Yes, I'm with Captain Raydor." Andy responded immediately, taking the cup of coffee.
"What? What are you doing there? Come here quickly." Provenza said angrily. Andy gritted his teeth in anger, saying, "Stop, enough Provenza. We have a lunch break and I'll be back in time." He hung up and looked at Sharon, who was grinning. He smiled slightly, looking at her questioningly at this time.
"What Captain? I see that you're well enough to laugh at me." he said jokingly. Sharon nodded and replied, "You're right, lieutenant. I felt better in your company, I want to say that I felt better from your sudden visit. I really needed a little concern and I am grateful that though, you think of me." Andy smiled slightly, but his head was full of questions. "What am I doing? Why do I behave so well with Captain Raydor? What happens to me?" he thought, looking at her bright green eyes.
She was also confused. She also didn't know what to think about her subordinate right now. He was always rough with her, even if she had thought that he could be happy that she can't come to work, but now everything was different. He was the only one who had come to visit her to see if she's all right. She really had felt better in his company. Although they were enemies and hate each other, sometimes they really were worried about each other, but that may be because of their work.
Andy put the cup on the table, saying with a smile, "Well, Captain. In fact, for the first time I came to your home and I felt weird. I never thought I'd come here, but I had to do it." Sharon nodded thoughtfully, looking down.
"You're right, Lieutenant. I also never would have thought it. But still, I thank you that you thought for me. You really are the only one who thinks of me at this difficult time." she admitted. Andy looked at her confused. What did she mean? He sat close to her.
"Captain, what do you mean? I don't understand." he asked again, looking at her questioningly. Sharon looked into his brown eyes and replied, "Actually, I know that all my colleagues are against me as you. I didn't have an easy life. I had to take care of my kids alone because my husband chose to leave me." Andy nodded sadly, listening to her story. Although he hated his boss, he was still a human and he wanted to comfort her in some way.
"Oh, sorry, I didn't want to upset you. I'm sorry, really." he said apologetically. Sharon shook her head and wiped her tears.
"No problem, lieutenant. I understand, Lieutenant Provenza was furious that you're here. Perhaps it would be better to leave if you don't want conflicts with your friend. I know that you're friends." she said softly with a smile. Andy sighed wearily.
"Yes, you're right. We're friends. Well, sometimes we argue but we're inseparable. But I wouldn't want to leave you here alone. I know that you live alone, but also know that you need care in your state. You're sick." he said anxiously.
"Lieutenant Flynn, it's just a cold, nothing else. Besides I've always been coping alone and I'm an independent woman. I don't need help, I can handle." she said firmly. Andy nodded and stood up. He walked to the door and turned to Sharon again.
"Uh ... Captain, though, if you need anything you can call me and I'll come, whatever happens. I am ready to help you." he said politely. This surprised Sharon. He behave unnatural.
"Thank you, Lieutenant. But tomorrow I'll be at work. Thanks for coming." While he wanted to open the door, Sharon also reached to open and at this point their hands touched. Their eyes made contact. They looked at each other in silence for a few minutes and then Andy left and Sharon stared into the void. She sighed and closed the door tightly, leaning on the wall thoughtfully.
"What happens to this man? He's being so nice to me and he didn't show any rudeness. Did he change? How is this possible?" she murmured softly and returned to her bedroom back. While Andy drove carefully, he constantly thought of Captain Raydor. Chief Johnson had gone urgently to her parents and now Sharon had to replace her. He knew that the whole team needs her, but now she was sick and she couldn't come to work for at least 1 week. But the strangest thing was that he constantly thinks about her health. He just didn't understand what was happening to him. She was her enemy and so it should be.
On the other hand, Provenza sat at his desk thoughtfully and angrily. He couldn't understand why Andy can go to Sharon's home. That was pretty weird. The moment Andy came to the department, he immediately stood before him with a stern look.
"What do you think you're doing?" Provenza asked angrily. Andy shook his head, dissatisfied answering, Stop Provenza! I just needed to know if the captain is okay. And I'm glad I went, because she has a cold and temperature. And something else; she can't come to work at least for one week, although she insists that she'll be here tomorrow. " Provenza looked at him confused as he sat at his desk and leaned back.
"And how will we manage without her?" Andy closed his eyes for a moment and shrugged.
"We'll deal, don't worry. We can do without Sharon Raydor." he said firmly. Provenza shook his head and sat on his desk, looking at him sternly. He just didn't understand his strange behavior against the captain. He really behaved very strangely.
In the evening, Sharon was reading a magazine with a cup of tea in hand. She wanted to get better faster to be able to return to work. She just couldn't stay home. All important murder cases waiting for her, she couldn't stand with folded arms. On the other hand, Andy thought of Captain Raydor. He hadn't stopped to think about her even for a minute. That she has a cold and temperature made him worry. He never before had worried so much about someone. He also didn't know what the reason was, but he needed to check again whether everything's okay.
He immediately took his bag and walked toward the elevators. At that moment, Provenza saw him and followed him. Andy walked quickly, wanting to arrive on time to her home.
"Hey, Flynn! Stop for a moment." Provenza said loudly. Andy sighed wearily and turned to him.
"What happens Provenza?" he asked indifferently.
"I'm confident that you go to the captain." Andy nodded, saying, "Yes, I want to check her condition. Still, she's my boss." Provenza shook his head.
"I understand Flynn, she's your boss but I don't understand your concern for her. I mean that's pretty weird. You were always rude to her and now suddenly, you ...- '"
"Look, think what you want. I don't want to be late." Andy broke sharply and got into the elevator immediately. Provenza sighed and shook his head. Maybe he felt something special about her?
Sharon sat on the couch with a blanket. The magazine was on the table with the cup of tea too. She took a deep breath and coughed. She really didn't feel so good to be back to work tomorrow and she still had a temperature. She wasn't sure whether she'll work in this state.
Suddenly someone knocked on the door and she looked at the clock. Strange. It was too late and who was to come? She lived alone, though. She immediately got up and opened the door cautiously. Her eyes widened with surprise, seeing Lieutenant Flynn before her.
"Lieutenant Flynn, what are you doing here?"
