Busy night for Team Hetty. Sam's son needed help at his school. The case was done, and the sun had risen.
Hetty's office
'You want to stay here for a bit? That call might have been important.' Granger asked, after seeing Hetty ignore her office phone.
'Nope. It's been a long night, and I'm tired and want to get some sleep. Same with you?' She replied.
'Yes. Your place?'
'Certainly'.
On their way out
'Those 2 were definitely kissing in OPS, right?' Granger asked.
'Without a doubt'.
That afternoon
Hetty was making tea when Granger came downstairs.
'Did we just sleep in the same bed together? Or was I just imagining you asking me if I wanted to sleep next to you?' Granger asked.
'Yes we did. I figured since you've slept on my couch and guest beds a lot of times, and we've been unofficially dating for a few months. Figured it was time to take the next step. Well, partially. We weren't naked, as I said I wasn't quite ready for that just yet.' Hetty responded.
'Well, I enjoyed it.'
'I'm glad you did.' And she hugged him.
'Mmm. (Smiling), got any plans for this afternoon?'
'Well, there's a monster truck rally tonight, do you want to come?' She asked.
'Sure.'
'You sure? Because, I tend to get a bit rowdy at these kind of events. (blushing).'
'I can handle your rowdy side.'
That night, close to midnight
It wasn't easy, but Granger managed to get Hetty home and into bed in one piece.
Things were going well at first, until she had a few beers, and a few tough looking guys walked over and demanded she stop making so much noise. And needless to say, a huge brawl broke out.
And well, it wasn't easy fighting off the tough guys, but they did it. (with some kneecapping and kicking-in-the-privates included.).
'Man, she's nutty as hell when she's drunk! And, really amazing in brawls at the same time.' Granger thought.
