"Oh come on Fusco!"

"No."

"Please I never ask you for help." Joss begged.

"I already know too much about you, and wonder boy than I want." he shook his head. "It was disturbing before Carter, but this is just too much."

"I could have shot you for following me for John but I didn't."

"Look Carter you're my friend, and it seems like wonder boy makes you happy. BUT that doesn't mean I want to be involved in your plan for him. Besides what makes you think he would even listen to me? Wonder boy only listens to you, or the walking talking encyclopedia because he sure the hell doesn't listen to me."

"I promise you will never have to do anything like this ever again. I don't know who else to ask its not like I can ask Finch to do this. Finch would surely tell John the truth that I asked him to get him there, and I need the element of surprise." Joss resisted the urge to tell him it was John's fantasy sensing it would make Fusco less likely to help her knowing that. Well when all else fails its time to bargain with him. "Okay how about this Fusco if I do your paperwork for a week would you do it?"

"Make it two weeks plus you get me a blind date, and you have yourself a deal Carter."

"Deal." she grinned they shook on it, and she pumped his hand twice. "Now don't call him until eight tonight to get him to go there, and not a minute sooner. It will give me time to prepare everything for tonight." she scribbled some information on a scrap piece of paper for Fusco.

"Whatever Carter just don't tell too much information, and we'll be fine." Joss stood up, and hurried out of the station running through the long list of things she still had to do. She hurried around the corner of the station to get back to her car, and gasped when she saw John lounging against her passenger side door waiting for her. Thank god she had placed her purchases from the sex store, and the pharmacy in her trunk or she would have a lot of explaining to do that she didn't want too. He spotted her immediately, and his gaze was intense. She felt like she was overheating beneath it.

"John?" his eyes narrowed on her looking up, and down her body.

"We need to talk." his tone was low, but held commanding. Uh-oh did Harold tell him about the sex shop she hoped not? Harold promised her he wouldn't, and he was good on his word so that couldn't be it. She motioned for him to climb into the car, and he nodded opening the door emphatically. They both climbed in, and once the doors were shut she barely turned to look at him before his mouth was on hers. John's mouth was desperate as he quickly slipped his tongue into her mouth, and she sighed as she reached one hand up into his hair while his cupped her jaw with one hand while sliding the one down her body cupping her breast. She pushed back out of the kiss before she forgot they were in broad daylight in her car, and near the police station.

"What's going on John?"

"You damn well know what's going on Joss." he growled pulling her back forward to kiss her, and she sighed happily knowing she was getting to him. She texted him about twenty minutes ago something rather sexy, but she hadn't thought he'd come seek her out. John's kiss wasn't as urgent as before it was more passionate, and loving. Damn he was such an amazing kisser, and she moaned in her throat as he was seducing her with his mouth as much as she was him with her body. No she had to stay strong he deserved to have his world rocked like he did hers. She pushed out of the kiss.

"Stop I said no touching, and kissing is touching John."

"You didn't seem to mind a few seconds ago."

"Its your fault you made me forget the no touching rule."

"Well you shouldn't have sent me that text." he whispered, and she grinned as she looked down at his crotch seeing just what it was doing to him. She felt ecstatic right about now, but she had to keep it cool. She couldn't let John in on the secret, or everything would be for nothing!

"Thinking about me pleasing myself arouses you John? I couldn't help it whenever I think of you I get hot, and achy so I needed some relief." she teased feeling incredibly feminine, and sexy right at this moment even though she did no such thing. But Alice said men liked that sort of thing so she wanted to see if it was true, and judging by John's erection pressing his dress pants up he enjoyed it a lot. John's normal light blue eyes were dark with desire, and she liked his quickened breathing. Her eyes fell down to his hands on his thighs as they squeezed into fists before unclenching them as if trying to reduce his tension level. Ha as if that would work she peeked at his ever present erection wishing she could do something about it, but she couldn't. Joss looked at him, and saw he was looking away before turning his hot gaze back onto her.

"Better be careful Joss." his smile was downright mysterious, and feral. She gulped wondering if teasing him all day was a good idea or not?

"Of what?" she forced herself to ask as she tried not to squirm under his intense gaze.

"Of when I get you." he opened his door climbing out shutting the door with a lot more force than necessary. Joss leaned her head back against the headrest exhaling loudly as she watched the man she loved walk away her mind caught on his sexy little threat. Definitely teasing John was not a good idea he was much bigger than she was, but it didn't mean she was going to stop. Joss sighed a little wishing she had just drove him to her place, and allow them to alleviate this sexual frustration they both were under. She looked at the clock in her car seeing it was only three in the afternoon, and she pouted. Why did she choose eight at night for Fusco to call John? Sure it gave her time to do everything she needed too, but could she last that long with all the teasing she was doing of John it was arousing not just John but herself?!

Joss just needed to make sure John didn't surprise her again with an unannounced visit, or surely he would figure out some of her plan. Joss needed to hide on him for the rest of the day let his need for her grow, and to make sure he didn't show up again before she could surprise him tonight. She grinned pulling out her cell phone to text him one last time before she turned her phone off so he wouldn't be able to track her. Joss knew this was playing dirty, but he would even things out tonight she was sure of it. She hit send before shutting her phone off, and quickly started her car. Joss needed to get the hell out here before John reappeared, and did just what she suggested in her text.

John needed Joss so badly he had been ready to take her in the car. Joss was teasing him, and he could tell she was enjoying it which was the only reason he didn't take what she was putting under his nose. Then she sent that text making him regret he had left her car allowing her to leave. He tried to call her but it went immediately to voicemail, and he scowled as he pocketed his phone. He walked back into the library having been half aroused all day long, and felt surly. Where was someone to shoot when you needed it?

"Mr. Reese I went to Naughty or Nice to see if Heather Bennett showed up for work recently, and Alice Pierceson has reported that she's been calling in lately which is unusual."

"I lost her when she realized I was tailing her earlier. She's on the run from someone Finch." he snapped, and Finch's brows rose at his tone but said nothing.

"I would say law enforcement." he turned to look at her photo.

"Why?"

"Heather Bennett has several arrest warrants for her in another state is what detective Fusco gathered for us."

"So that might mean she's the perpetrator, and not the victim." take Joss the moment he saw her, or make her beg for him to let her come? Options oh the options. He blinked when he realized Finch was speaking again, and he hadn't heard a word.

"Maybe or maybe not Mr. Reese."

"Um what?"

"That she's the perpetrator just because she has arrest warrants doesn't necessarily make her the perpetrator." Finch eyed him funny again, and John shifted trying to hide the fact that he was in a state that was less than professional.

"Right, what are her arrest warrants for?"

"Theft, and drug possession."

"Run of the mill criminal."

"Yes just what is she up to that alerted the machine?"

"Maybe she got herself into something that's far worse than she thought, and she's the target."

"Could be Mr. Reese."

"I'll head back to her apartment though I'm sure I won't find her there." he started walking towards the exit. His mind immediately went back onto Joss.

"Wait Mr. Reese."

"What?"

"She just used her cell phone again she's at the Naughty or Nice store. You need to convince her you are there to help, and not hurt her Mr. Reese." John hurried out. Just great he had to go into a sex shop while his mind was on Joss, and her teasing. He couldn't catch a break today could he?!

It was eight o'clock on the dot which made him sigh a little. Lionel was extremely uncomfortable with this arrangement, but Carter was right she never asked him for any favors. Lionel found their courtship weird since Carter was a cop, and wonder boy disobeyed all the laws, so he guessed the saying of opposites attract was true. But knowing they were hooking up tonight was just too much damn information! He pulled his cell phone out needing to call wonder boy now as she requested, and fudge up some sort of lie to get him where Carter needed him to be. He waited for about three rings before he picked up.

"Yes Lionel?" oh great just what he needed wonder boy pissed off again he had nearly chewed his head off the first time he called him today.

"I need your help."

"I'm sort of busy."

"Doing what? I already arrested Eric Palmer the drug dealer who happened to be the threat to Heather Bennett, and she's in the process of being extradited to Ohio for her crimes there." Fusco griped. Didn't wonder boy, and Mr. Vocabulary ever take a moment off?

"Looking for the good detective Jocelyn Carter." Fusco smirked a little at wonder boy's voice. It sounded like he was quite perturbed with Carter at the moment, and he was glad someone could throw this guy off his game. "She hasn't had her phone on for hours now, she hasn't been to her apartment that I can see, her son is with some friends, and not answering his phone. Its like she's avoiding me on purpose so my question for you Lionel is have you seen, or heard from her?"

"Not since she came by the station earlier this afternoon."

"To do what?"

"She picked something up. You know Carter she's a workaholic even on her off days she's working." he chuckled lamely.

"Lionel are you lying to me?"

"No why would I lie to you about why Carter stopped by?"

"I don't know so again why did she go to the station?"

"I don't know I didn't pay attention to what she was doing what am I her keeper?"

"But you were pretty adamant just moments ago that she was a workaholic, and now you don't know. So which is it Lionel?" crap he caught him in a lie. He hated wonder boy sometimes.

"You know I called you for help. I help you, and Einstein out all the time."

"I will once you stop lying to me."

"Look Carter stopped by I asked her what she was doing, but she was acting all secretive. I don't know what she was doing, and I didn't bother asking again since its none of my business alright." Joss better get him a good blind date for having to jump through these damn hoops for her with wonder boy. He was downright suspicious, and good at telling when he was lying to him.

"What type of help do you need?"

"I got myself a little trouble with some old people I know."

"What type of trouble?"

"I owe them a lot of money, and I think they know I can't pay up. They want to meet up, and if I don't they'll hurt my kid."

"Where?" Lionel looked at the paper Joss had scribbled where she wanted John to go.

"Columbus Park."

"Meet me up there Lionel, and maybe we can work out a deal with your friends."

"Will do." he said, and quickly hung up with him before calling Carter on the number she had given him earlier to call her after he called wonder boy. She picked up on the first ring.

"Did you get him to the park?"

"Yes, he's suspicious though Carter. I don't think he entirely bought my excuse, and he wanted me to come meet up with him."

"Its okay I'll take over from here on out, and thank you for doing this for me."

"Yeah yeah just remember your promise." Lionel snapped before hanging up with her. He needed to get out of here, and go get a drink to get the image of those two together out of his head.
