The conference room was quiet, as it should be at 11 at night. No one was working; even a few if the remnants of Team, the ones who hadn't managed to pull them selves up out of their chairs to get home to their wives, were still lounging around quietly.

Greg was dutifully trying to go over the file from their hot call earlier that day, but found his attention wavering as he watched the other two sitting at the table with fatherly amusement.

Spike had been playing with the new app on his phone when his eyes had been drawn towards the blonde sitting across from him… or more precisely to the silver piece of coin going back and forth across his knuckles.

The blonde sniper had been mindlessly thinking about the hot call, his knee throbbing as he did so. One of the five subjects had managed to use the butt of his gun on the back of his knee when they went in for takedown. Jules had paid him back with a bloody nose and a pair of ties around his wrists. He grinned remembering the look of confusion on the poor saps face at being taken down by a girl half his size.

"How can you do that for so long?"

Spikes voice brought him from his musings and he glanced over at the tech. Following his line of sight Sam looked down at his hand and the quarter stuck between his fingers. Smiling he ran the coin down his knuckles to his pinkie, expertly waving his hand around before he lifted both hands up showing a lack of coin. "Magic."

Brown eyes narrowed, "Come on Samtastic, it's up your sleev-" he cut himself off seeing the black t-shirt the other man wore. "What the?"

Jules interrupted his remark when she came into the room looking at the blonde. "You want me to drop you off?"

Grinning Sam smiled shifting straighter in his seat. "Sure, but one sec, you've got something in your hair." Reaching up he brushed a loose strand behind her ear and when his hand came down holding his quarter in his grasp. Spike let out a low whistle but Jules just frowned.

"What are you twelve?" she muttered snatching the coin from him and putting it into her fist. Bringing her other hand up to the one holding the quarter she pulled them apart. "At least pull out a twenty." And there in her hands was a crisp looking twenty dollar bill. The queens face beaming out at them like she had just won the lottery.

Greg's eyebrows shot up in surprise as Spike let out an undignified fan-girl squeak. Sam just pouted as Jules smirked down at him, his trick ruined.

I blame Castle for this one. That scene between Castle and Alexis was too cute, this si pretty much it in a Flashpoint setting.
