sorry about adding the wrong chapter on here just was really early when added this last night and didn't notice added wrong story for chapter; thought would add some fun in for the team for once

Team one had been having a long string of hard calls for the last week that had them going home far past what the shift usually was and Ed and sarge are thinking need to get out doing something together that might get out some of their pent up aggravation that needed to come out. Everyone was sitting around the war room trying to get some reports done when Winnie walked into the room Jules was the first one to notice she was there, "Hey, what brings you here?"

Spike turns to see her lean against the table, "Came to talk to Holleran about coming back."

Ed shook his head, "What did you two decide?"

"Can come back starting tomorrow morning seems they miss having me around."

Spike hides his smirk, "Couldn't imagine why no one wouldn't miss you around here. A lot better to hear you on other end of the headset than them."

Ed rolled his eyes at their banter, "So are we doing this poker night?"

"Sounds good to me," Wordy said.

"Mariana said she's willing to watch Sadie for the night," sarge told them. "That way have night to yourselves."

"So where are we playing?" Jules asked.

Spike shook his head, "I have the table and chips so can come over. Extra room if someone needs to stay the night."

Ed nodded, "We can all meet over there about seven."

Winnie came home and parked her car in the garage as she walked in the kitchen she smelled something really good and stood at the island watching him knead some dough and he turned around messing around with a few things and smiled over at her before kissing her, "How was your court hearing?"

"The ADA is still working on what she wants to charge him with but makes no sense since all happened in the barn."

He pointed to a bowl, "Made you a salad so had something to eat before everyone gets here with the snacks and I am making pizza."

She sat down at the island as he answered the door, "Wordy and Leah your early."

She pointed to the other man, "He wanted to get here early for some reason but no idea," she set down chips and dip. "Something smells good."

Wordy answered the door as rest of them walked inside, "Guess everyone wanted to start this early."

Ed placed some brownies on the counter, "Izzy helped make these something about a surprise is inside there somewhere."

Spike rolled his eyes, "Sure whatever they put in there wont kill us."

Jules helped Sam set up the poker table in middle of the living room, "Don't think ever been here since moved in Spike."

He smirked, "A friend of mine helped us find this place and didn't have to search long. 3bed/2bath and if the weather was better could play outside on the deck."

Jules walked outside as Sam turned on the football game, "How long until it's done?"

"First one is done already and then can start playing after eat," he said cutting the pizza and everyone grabbed some sitting around the room. "What you think?"

Jules smiled, "Wow, this is really good."

Sam pat him on the shoulder, "This is really good pizza."

After finishing eating everyone sat around the table as Ed grabbed them all some beer, "Boss you deal," Spike handed him the deck.

Sarge dealt around the first cards, "Jules your first."

Jules looked at her cards a five of hearts and two of diamonds, "Bet 5."

Sam looked at his cards three of spades and eight of clubs, "Call."

Ed tossed his cards in, "I am out."

Leah tossed her cards in, "I am out too."

Spike smirked at his cards queen of spades and ten of diamonds, "Raise 5."

Sam rolled his eyes, "You have a bad hand."

"Sammy what makes you think that?"

"You don't have a good poker face and never have."

Winnie pat his arm, "Don't listen to him," she said and looked at her cards ace and jack of diamonds. "Call."

Sarge flipped over the flop cards king, nine and two, "What you going to do?"

Jules tossed in her cards, "Fold."

Sam tossed in his chip, "Call you bet."

Winnie was sure something was coming from the two guys, "Call."

The next card was ten of diamonds, "Sam?"

"Check," Sam said, and the triumphant gleam in his partner's eyes told him thought he had him.

Spike grinned at his friend, "Raise you 20."

Winnie rolled her eyes, "Call."

Sam tossed in some more chips, "Call."

The last card was an eight, "Alright last bets."

"Am sure that Spike over there needs to rethink his hand," Sam shot at his friend across from him.

Wordy slapped him on the shoulder, "Play nice boys or not playing."

Sam tossed in another twenty and both did the same, "What you guys got?"

Sam flipped over his cards, "Pair of eight's."

Spike grinned flipping over his cards, "Pair of ten's."

Winnie rolled her eyes, "Sorry to disappoint you but...royal flush."

Sam was shocked, "Damn it."

"Don't be such a sore loser," Leah told him. "Good job."

Jules and Leah high-fived her, "That's the hardest hand to ever get in a game."

Spike was nice enough to pull the chips into her pile for her and walked off to get all of them some more beer, "That was nothing but pure luck."

Eventually after they grew bored with Winnie and Jules winning all of the money they called it quits on poker and decided that Leah would be driving Wordy home while the sarge drove Ed home. Sam walked back inside the house after grabbing a duffel bag from back of the Jeep that each had change of clothes, "So are we going to play video games?"

Jules groaned as headed to the bathroom to change, "You two can have fun doing that but it's one in the morning so going to sleep."

Winnie nodded as kissed Spike, "I am going to sleep too. Behave you two."

Sam watched them both head upstairs as Spike put in a game, "Sniper Elite V2."

"Where did you get that? Hasn't even come out yet?"

Spike grinned as tossed him a controller, "Consulted on the design for the game. Me and a buddy worked on the game for months."

/*/*/*/

They started to play the game so engrossed in the game but never noticed that Sam had sat on the remote causing the volume to shoot up as loud as the flat screen would allow. Winnie woke up to a loud bang and headed downstairs as there was knocking at the door and glared at the guys still playing. Two uniformed cops were standing at the door, "Were responding to noise complaints from the neighbors and about that damn loud bang that we just heard is suspicious."

She ran a hand down her face, "I am sorry they must have hit the remote control volume."

"Can we come in?" one asked with name Parker.

She sighed and let them inside but Sam and Spike were oblivious to what was going on, "Sorry not trying to be rude but I have to get up in a few hours."

They glanced around the room spotting all of the beer bottles, "Doing a bit of drinking?" the other officer Franks asked rudely. "Seems that loud and bit of alcohol goes long away."

"Just the three of you here?" Parker asked.

"One of them is my fiancé and the other one is my colleague whose wife is asleep upstairs," she said walking over and turned down the sound but the guys didn't seem to care. "Have been having a really hard week at work and they tend to get so into that game don't know what's happening around them. As you can see."

"Where do you all work?" Franks asked losing patience. "That need this much relief?"

Jules walked downstairs yawning, "Everything okay? What's going on officers?"

"Responding to noise complaints in the neighborhood. Quite a lot of beers."

"Had a few friends over earlier in the night but we will keep down the noise were sorry."

Both officers left them and once they closed the door walked over to where the guys were sitting Spike paused the game as Winnie leaned against him and Jules sat on the arm of the chair, "Thought the two of you were upstairs trying to sleep?"

"Were until one of you sat on the remote blasting the volume and a neighbor called the cops," Jules told them. "How about a movie?"

Winnie moved to pop a movie in and laid her head down in Spike's lap, "Jules you watch the Notebook?" She nodded. "I love watching this."

Jules sat down in Sam's lap, "I have loved it since first came out."
