Thanks for all the reviews. my favorite was the idea of killing Simon. R&R

It had been a total of three weeks since Quent split up Matt and Emily. They saw each other

almost every night, and still saw each other at work. But they haven't been faring so well with their

new partners. Matt got a guy named Lenny Mount, they share a mutual dislike of each other and it

shows in there work. In every situation they negotiated tactical had to go in. Luckily no one got

hurt, yet. Emily wasn't doing any better she had to put up with more then Matt. Her new partner

John Stecker and her can't agree on anything. The office is usually filled with their screaming

matches. Plus, she had to put up with Simon hitting on her everyday. Emily and Matt were happy

when they were with each other, but miserable the rest of the time. Cheryl, Lia, Frank, and Duff

wanted to prove to Quent that they work better together. So they had a plan.

"Tactical should have never gone in!", Emily shouted.

"Yes they should have!", Stecker shouted.

"They're back. Matt you better break them up.", Lia said. She was hard at work on her

computer, getting information on who else but Matt and Emily.

"No!", Emily yelled.

"Yes!", replied Stecker.

"Okay, you are acting like a bunch of kindergardeners. We are at work could you use your

inside voices.", Matt said desperate to stop the noise. Emily marched off towards her desk, Matt

following. While Matt was breaking up the argument Cheryl, Lia, Duff, and Frank snuck off to

Quent's office.

"Please sir, at least bring it into consideration.", Lia politely asked.

Frank had it. He just wanted things normal again.

"Look their work was fine when they were partners and seeing each other. But since they

got new partners tactical is doing a lot more work. Look at all we presented you. Come on give it a

chance.", Frank said mean faced.

Quent just kept his usual stone cold look. Things were not looking good.

Back in the office Emily was training Simon, and as usual he was trying to convince her to

dump Matt. Matt took a seat right in between Emily and Simon.

"Hey Simon, I figured since when Emily and I were partners we ranked in the top 5, I

would be of great help.", he said in a tone to annoy Simon. Emily was mouthing the words "Thank

you".

Lia into the room where the three of them were working.

"Matt, Emily Cheryl wants to talk to you outside."

They got up and met Cheryl.

"Your partners again!", she screamed running up to them again, not acting the least bit

professional.

"What! How did this happen?", Emily said on the verge of tears.

"You should thank Lia and Frank.", Duff said proudly.

"I took all your former cases and I compared your quality of work between when you

were partners and now. And Frank went up to Quent and put on a face that made him fear for his

life. He had to cave. Congratulations!"

"I don't know how to repay you guys.", Matt said smiling for the first time in a while.

"Oh, don't worry we'll think of something.", Cheryl replied.

"First we have to get back at Simon.", Duff said looking over into the room that he was in.

It was time for payback.

I said I would fix things. I might not get the rest up tonight cause of the game but hopefully tomorrow thanks to those who read. Time for payback!
