Hi...A few questions answered here I think - but maybe a few more asked !!!! NOTE! there is a hint of a 'crossover' in this chapter - for those of you that know the show and the charector, it shouldn't be a problem - if you don't - well I haven;t brought it in strongly enough that it would confuse the storyline...but I would like to hear from anyone that would like me to bring in the crossover charectors a bit more maybe???? I could do it...yea/nay let me know.....

They had all managed to finally stop laughing and had ordered in pizza for Ria's return to the office.
"That is the last time Lightman, I mean it! The next time some obnoxious creep needs to be chatted up – you had better hope he is gay and you can send Loker"
She was pulling off the surveillance equipment as she 'vented' and finally dropped it into his lap.
"Not your type Torres? I thought you liked the Armani suit brigade"
"Just because I like a guy to dress nice…."
She found a large piece of pizza shoved in her hand.
"Yeah alright, calm down Torres – you didn't like your date – I think we all got that"
"Thing is guys, this is all well and good – we now know Radar lies to his customers, that he tells suspicious spouses whatever they want based on which one of them pays the most. We know he has a judge and a few police on his books. He charges double hours on nearly all of the government cases he handles – but the fact is that we can't prove it."
Ben cut the mood instantly.
"But I have it all on tape" Ria cut in
"I know – and you did a great job, but the problem is you asked him to talk on specific subjects, a good lawyer could get that thrown out as entrapment, and even if they didn't, it's still only one guy – and he was drunk! We need to start getting hard evidence on the Intel Ria got for us tonight"
"Judge has got to be the easiest to go for first" Cal had switched back into work mode "That dickhead gave a fairly good description of him, I can put a call into Zoe and see if she recognises who it might be"
Loker swung his chair round and started tapping on the keyboard.
"We need to go really deep into his finances as well, there has to be something…."
"Oh my god!" Gillian cut him off "That's what I came in here to tell you – before I got sidetracked – we have found some very interesting leads in that respect, and they bring it right back to…"
She paused for effect, "The New Hope" group!"
Cal looked really shocked.
"Are you sure about this Gill, I mean we all did some pretty intensive investigations into their company finances when we were trying to get you back and we found nuffin luv"
"I know – trust me, I did the same checks as you before I …well…But we didn't have the help of Bens friendly computer genius and hacker then! She is simply amazing Ben, I have never met anyone quite like her"
"Oh Yeah, she's good alright – if there's something hidden, that girl will find it everytime"
"And now that Ria has found us some more to look for" Gill continued "She told me she'd be only to happy to help with anything else we need, as long as her boss doesn't find out"
Cal stared at Ben
"So who is this little computer master you've found for us Ben? Where's she from? FBI, CIA, - no – DOD – bloody hell how many initials do I have to go through here! Why don't you just save us the time and tell me?"
"Lightman – all of you – you cannot let this info get any further than here, with us understand, and I'm talking 'crystal' understand"
"Yeah, yeah we get it….so?"
"Her name is Abby and she works for the NCIS"
"The wot?" Cal raised his eyebrows
"Navel Criminal Investigation Service" Loker chimed in with a light grin that showed his pleasure at knowing something his boss didn't.
"Don't think I didn't see that Loker! - Right then – I'm off to make a phone call to my ex- Gill why don't you and Loker get back on to this ….wots her name…Abby! And see wot she can come up with on the new stuff we have – Torres….well you need to change out of that dress – it's a distraction"
xXx
It was late, very nearly the early hours of the morning, something was bugging her, he could tell.
"Talk to me luv"
"About what, the case?"
He pulled her further into his arms and wrapped a leg over hers.
"If it's the case that is keeping you awake and stressing, then yes – if not then I want to know wot it is"
Gill buried her head into the soft hair of his chest, she thought she had hidden it from him – she should have known better….
"I'm just feeling hugely guilty Cal, all the trouble my stupidity has caused, the company..all the work you have turned away when you were chasing after me – we are still turning it away because we are all working on this mess with Radar – I feel so bad …"
"Don't you dare! I mean it Gill – wot about all the good stuff that has come, and is still to come out of this"
"What good stuff?"
"Oh …let me see…You – here in my bed, naked and clinging on to me – The fact that we are gonna take down that bloody cult, which means no more victims will suffer because of them..help for the woman they have already hurt…more work experience for our little family at work…and..lets not forget that we finally have a reason to take a crack at Radar…bit of a dream for me."
Gill was already smiling into his chest, but at the last reason she pinched his nipple.
"I thought I was your dream come true – now you tell me it's actually getting to take a run at Jack Radar!"
"No luv, you – you are a fantasy come true- far rarer and more fantastic than just a dream. You and me together that was always my impossible fantasy, and …hopefully, now I've got you this far, you can bring a few more of them to life for me"
She finally raised her head and met his glinting hazel eyes.
"Really! And what might they be?"
"Let me think….how do you feel about nurse's uniforms?"
"I don't like their hats"
"OK – wot about …policewomen – complete with handcuffs?"
"Mmmm – you in handcuffs…I might be able to work with that one" she started giggling at the thought, hoping he didn't pick up on the fact that this had been a secret fantasy of hers on more than one occasion!
"So..is this it now – are we in a relationship now Cal?"
"Bloody stupid question! Why would you come out with that? Did you think this was just sex?"
"I didn't want to just assume, you have never actually said anything…"
"I didn't think I had to luv – I know I'm not the best with words, but I have tried to stay as open as I can when I'm with you – have you not seen how I feel?"
"Yes, I suppose I have but…well it's nice hear it sometimes I suppose…."
"Oh God! It's those bloody romance books you still read – I'm gonna start burning them …..Gillian Foster…..I Love You….and if we have to go and find some wild moorland to chase each other over, although god knows where in DC, but if that's what it takes…."
Gill was laughing and play punching him in the shoulder by now.
"I can't see you as a 'Heathcliff' somehow, but that simple 'I love you' every now and again would be nice"
"Can I do it by email?......"
