Randi wasn't blind, not that anyone ever had the nerve to tell her that, but the point still stood. She had known about Wes and Sebastian for weeks now, ever since a particularly crazed looking Sebastian demanded her dog after a bust went south and Wes disappeared. At first, Randi had been worried about trusting her beloved Hudson to a visiting detective she barely knew, but she had wanted to find the missing blonde as much as everyone else, so she complied.

Two days after Wes had been confirmed safe, Sebastian had come down to see her again. Any reservations she had about the man disappeared when Hudson, who had been laying at her feet, practically knocked the man down in an attempt to swipe his tongue all over the man's face. Instead of being offended at the dog's behavior, the elder detective just laughed before plunging his hands into Hudson's fur. Hudson barked happily at the treatment. Randi couldn't help but smile.

"I guess you made quite an impression on him." She said.

Sebastian smiled back at her. "I guess that means I'm in the clear?" he asked as he knelt down by Hudson's side.

Randi pretended to think about it. "I'm not sure," she looked at her dog, "what do you think, Hudson?" the dog, who was still getting scratched, looked at his master with his tongue hanging out and his tail thumping a steady rhythm onto Sebastian's leg. Randi looked back at the other detective. "Looks like that's a yes." The two chuckled.

"So, what are you doing down here?" Randi asked.

Sebastian gave Hudson two solid pats on the rump before standing up. All of a sudden, he looked nervous. "To apologize."

Randi felt the smile slip from her face a little. Her thoughts immediately went to Hudson. The dog hadn't seemed distressed when he had been returned to her, in fact, he seemed in perfect health, but that didn't mean something hadn't happened. Not wanting to jump to any conclusions, Randi asked, "For what?"

"I know we didn't get off on the right foot, what with me barging in here and demanding your dog, so I thought I should come and say I'm sorry."

Relief flooded the narcotics detective. She chuckled. "It's alright, I know you were just as worried about Wes as the rest of us."

Sebastian rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly. Randi had to force herself not to coo. The man was just too adorable. With beautiful golden skin, high cheek bones, a slightly rugged looking face, and sharp blue eyes, Sebastian was the epitome of every woman's wet dream. And his looks weren't even the half of it.

Sebastian had come to the LAPD as a member of an experimental joint task force. The idea behind it was to build connections between different departments in order to improve efficiency. Though everyone had been on edge when the man had first walked through the door, they had all warmed up to him almost instantly. He was kind, courteous, and respectful of the other officers even though he was two steps away from being the head of his own department. When his opinion was asked for, he wasn't condescending about it, nor did he put down the ideas of others. He was thorough in his work, but he also knew how to relax and have a good time, which made him a favorite to hang around with.

Apparently more of a favorite with some than with others. Wes was one lucky bastard.

"I might have been worried about Wes," Sebastian continued, "but that didn't give me the right to speak to you the way I did."

Randi waved off the man's words. "Don't worry about it." She turned and walked back toward the line of coffee cans she had been using to train Hudson before the other detective walked in. "I'd be upset to if my boyfriend disappeared on me."

There was a moment of silence as she knelt down by the cans and began resetting them. Randi had to force herself not to giggle. She had never been a vindictive person and she had forgiven Sebastian the moment he had returned Hudson to her in one piece, but that didn't mean she couldn't tease him a little bit.

There was a shuffling of feet as Sebastian walked up to her and stopped by her side.

"You knew?" he asked.

Randi snorted. Looking up at the other detective, she said, "You've only been at the precinct for three weeks, not enough time to create a deep emotional connection with the people here. But, the moment Wes went missing, you busted in here, practically ripped Hudson out of my hands, and took off like you were about to rip someone's head off." She smiled at the light blush that appeared on Sebastian's face. "The only person here who should have behaved that way is Travis seeing as they are partners."

The blush on Sebastian's face deepened, but he remained stoic. Randi watched him fondly; she could definitely see what the blonde saw in him. Rising to her feet, she continued, "Wes isn't exactly the easiest person to get along with on a good day, he has turned many a person away with his attitude, and yet, he somehow got someone almost as calm and collected as he is to practically fly off the rails. This could only mean one of two things; either you were already friends with Wes before you came here, which is highly unlikely considering I saw you two get introduced, or you are in a relationship." Snapping her fingers, Randi called Hudson to her side. The German Shepard obediently trotted to her side and leaned into her leg. Randi gently ruffled his fur.

Sebastian was watching her with a critical eye. "But you knew before that didn't you."

Randi shrugged. "It wasn't that hard to figure out." She looked down at Hudson and gave him a sharp command. The dog immediately began sniffing the cans at his master's feet.

The two detectives watched the Shepard sniff excitedly at the cans, by passing each of them in search of drugs.

"What gave us away?"

Randi looked Sebastian straight in the eye. "You're the only one that Wes will allow to use his hand sanitizer."

Whatever answer Sebastian had been expecting, it wasn't that. He stared at Randi in complete disbelief, then he burst out laughing.

"Wes is going to love that."

Randi smirked. "Just tell him that he better get ready for some serious teasing when he comes off medical leave."

An evil look suddenly came over Sebastian's face. "I have a feeling it will be funnier if I don't."

This time, it was Randi who burst out laughing. Oh yeah, these two were going to get along just fine.
