AN: Because I'm awfully behind here on . I'm so sorry for that as most of my readers are right here.

I have already posted these to my LJ page, so you might have read it already.

Thank you for all the nice reviews I'm still getting.

Collision, part one of two

With a huge smile on his face, Andy walked around the station. He couldn't be in a better mood. After getting Dunn out of the picture, they had all went out to celebrate. He hadn't expected anything, when he gave them a ride home. Hoped for Sharon to invite him in for a cup of coffee or something, but with everything Rusty had been through the last couple of days, he knew Sharon was even more protective of him now. She had invited him in though, and more. After Rusty had excused himself, she had actually taken him by the hand and to her bedroom.

'Rusty?'

'He knows.'

Two lovely words, saying much more than that. Rusty was okay with it all and that meant another stage in their relationship. It had been so good to spend the night with her, wake up next to her. A smile curled on his lips as he recalled the image of her next to him, as he had opened his eyes. She looked so peaceful, a satisfied smile on her lips. The rays of sunlight shining on her beautiful hair, making it look more radiant than ever as it revealed the red highlights within its auburn color. He could drown, in the image of her.

"Earth to Flynn, earth to Flynn."

Provenza ripped him away from his beautiful daydream.

"You didn't drink last night and still you're the one walking around here, like you're still not quite awake. And what's with that stupid grin?"

"Nothing can spoil my mood today, not even you Provenza."

"And why's that?"

Andy just smiled, Provenza could keep fishing all he want. For now, only Rusty knew, and they were going to keep it that way. Here at the station they were Captain and Lieutenant.

Sharon smiled as Andy walked around with this dreamy look in his eyes, huge grin on his face. Last night was lovely. He had been so tender with her, so loving. All the tension had disappeared from her body. She could tell that he'd been happy that Rusty knew. He had been very patient. It had been too long since the last time they had been together. Though that's how they 's both felt it.

It was nice to see how last night had affected him. Rusty had rolled his eyes at them this morning. Apparently they had this 'lovey dovey' look in their eyes. He had suggested that if they'd want to keep this quiet they'd better not be looking at each other. It was good to know he accepted this relationship between Andy and her. She was still cautious though, she didn't want him to feel like the third wheel.

Sanchez walked in.

"Suspect is in interrogation one."

"The Captain made clear she wanted to do the interrogation herself."

Sanchez walked to her open office door.

"The suspect is in interrogation one, Captain."

"Thank you, Detective Sanchez."

She walked out, she'd better not ask Andy to join her. He had been her partner of choice repeatedly lately.

"Lieutenant Provenza, would you join me?"

"You sure?"

"Or I wouldn't be asking you, would I?"

He walked out in front of her. She looked back over at Andy to give him a loving smile. As he caught hers, he smiled back. He was so surprised by how relaxed she looked. Love did wonders for her. It made her softer, made them see more of the real Sharon. He liked her even more.

The team joined Buzz in the surveying room while Sharon joined Provenza. Andy stared at the suspect. It was this huge guy, maybe it would have been better if Sanchez and him would have done this interrogation. Sharon could push buttons.

He should let it go, they were close by, she'd be fine.

The first chance he'd got though to take a break from this tension, he took. He was making himself crazy, maybe it were the memories from last night, them being so close. He had to shake the feeling that something might happen to her. Shake the feeling that last time he had this stone weighing on his stomach, she did get in danger.

He took a deep breath, scanning the room for that file he was looking for.

"Flynn right?"

Frowning he turned around towards the voice. His eyes darkened as he saw that guy standing in the doorway of Sharon's office. He'd like to wipe that smug look of his face.

"I don't believe the Captain would appreciate you using her office, as a waiting area."

"I don't believe my wife would mind."

'Calm Flynn', he tried to repeat as a mantra in his head.

This guy still calling her 'his wife'. Territorial, dominant behavior that just pissed him off right away.

"I believe Captain Raydor would mind."

He emphasized her rank and name. Richard just smiled.

"Is that what you call her in bed too? Captain…"

He smirked. Andy could slap him for talking demeaning about her. Like her having the rank of Captain was not an accomplishment.

"You are sleeping with my wife, aren't you?"

Andy just stared as there was no way he was going to take his bait. Richard was there to provoke him, provoke Sharon. He should take her example and remain calm.

There was this sound causing them to look in the other direction. Doors were opening. Sounds of panic. Andy frowned trying to determine what was going on.

'Sharon.'

Not waiting another second he hurried towards the interrogation room.
