Chapter Eight: 48 Hours
Friday. 7:55pm. Rosa was getting her motorcycle helmet ready. Grabbing her bag. She could clock out in 5 minutes. She and Jake had a big night planned. Chinese and sex. Their usual Friday Night plans. Maybe even a shitty movie they could make out throughout.
"Diaz. Emergency meeting. Briefing room" Terry said walking in. Rosa picked up her helmet and walked in
"What's up with this emergency meeting?" She asked. Wondering if it was something exciting like a murder, or a hostage situation. Or a man hunt... Her thoughts were distracted when Amy walked in wearing a dress of the most hideous shade of pink. Rosa knew that she was trying, so refrained from an insult. The men appeared to like her outfit. She rolled her eyes at their sexism.
"Big date tonight. How do I look?" She asked
"Well I think you look-" Jake said before playing the audio of a donkey braying. Rosa caught his eye. She gave him a 'What the hell' Look. Remembering the last time that Jake interfering with Amy's dates had caused problems for him and Rosa he backtracked quickly
"That was meant to be a catcall" He promised. "I don't know how this works" He finished lamely
"Hey. Is this why you were getting make up tips from that prostitute in the Holding cell?" Rosa asked, turning the attention away from Jake.
"I just wanted to know how she got such smoky eyes. Turns out it was an STD rash" Amy said
"Detective Peralta has made a collar in the Jewellery Store heist" Holt said harshly as he walked in
"Way to go Jakey" Charles said holding up his hand to high five, which Jake pushed back down.
"No. He didn't have enough evidence to make it stick. So we have the next 48 hours to fix his mistake" Holt said. They all groaned
"What evidence did you have when you arrested this guy?" Amy asked
"Some pretty iron clad stuff" Jake said
"Such as..." Terry prompted
"I put him away for an identical theft 2 years ago. He just got out of Rikers. He was found by the crime scene and it matches his M.O perfectly" Jake said
"It's something to work on" Rosa said
"Case closed?" Jake asked. Amy shook her head angrily at him
"If we don't find something conclusive, it jeopardizes the case and opens the department up to a lawsuit. So, cancel your plans. We're here until this is over" Holt said. Again, the room filled with groans. Someone even threw some balled up paper at him.
"I know everyone is mad at Peralta for ruining their weekend" Holt said.
"But?" Jake asked
"That was it. I was just demonstrating to Detective Peralta what a fact was" Holt said
Holt and Terry left the room, followed by the uniformed officers
"Really Jake?" Rosa asked
"I know it was Witman. I guarantee it" Jake said
"Why couldn't you just wait until you had evidence" Amy asked
"Because. If he is guilty, like I KNOW he is. He could slip through my fingers, go underground and who knows if I would ever find him again. I know where he is now, and he is here until I find that evidence" Jake said
"But what if we don't find that evidence?" Charles asked
"No question. We will. We're the Nine-Nine" Jake said. They all sighed and walked into the bull pen so Jake could share out his notes.
"Hey Gina, can you food for us from the Flatbush Diner? They make the best pies in New York City" Rosa said
"Oopsie, you said something super dumb. The best pie in the City's at Crust" She said
"Wrong" Rosa said, standing up. "Ignorant and wrong" Rosa replied, walking around the bull pen to meet Gina between their two desks.
"You think you can bully people, but you can't. It's not ok" I'm the bully around here. Ask anyone" Gina said.
"BOYLE!" Rosa called he turned to face her. "You're always blogging on that foodie website. Which pie's better?" Rosa asked
"Yeah. Whose pie do you like better? Mine or Rosa's?" Gina asked
"Uh, Oh. You know, I-I haven't been to either place yet" Charles said
"Why is your eye twitching?" Gina asked
"Wouldn't you like to know?" Charles scoffed
"Could I see you for a second in the Evidence lockup?" She asked, and the two walked off.
"Why are you so insistent on Flatbush?" Terry asked Rosa thought back. Flatbush was much closer to her apartment, and back when she had just joined the 99, Jake would frequently bring a pie with him when he came over. They would always enjoy it before sex. Or after it. Sometimes during. She thought that with the long night ahead of them, an inside Joke between her and Jake would be appreciated.
"Best pie in New York City" Rosa replied, her memories flashing back.
"I can't believe we ate that whole pie" Jake moaned
"I can't believe how many times you have made me cum tonight" Rosa replied
"Jake brought his finger to her still swollen clit and rubbed in soft circles, watching as her head flew back moaning. Jake brought a small piece of the whipped topping from the pie, and placed it on her public bone. Before moving down her body and running his lips over the cream, licking it up. Before slipping his tongue inside her, and lapping up her juices.
He knew her body well, and it was only a matter of minutes until she came again. Jake licked up every drop of her honey. Moaning at the taste.
"That good?" Rosa asked
"Best pie in New York City" He replied
"Which?" She asked with a flirtatious smile. Jake winked at her then brought his lips to hers. Kissing her again.
"Alright" Terry said, walking away. Clearly not knowing what was running through her mind. Jake was interrogating Whitman, when he walked out. Rosa was at Scully's desk, helping him go through some paperwork when Jake walked out.
"So... We're going to be here a while. Should someone do a coffee run?" He asked. Everyone just glared at him.
"You know what? Coffee's on me. But no froopy frappuchino things I only have ten bucks" Jake said. Amy stormed past, taking the money from his hand..
-Saturday. 9am-
"Rise and shine Detectives. Rise and Shine" Holt said walking through the bull pen. Waking up the squad. "Peralta, I want you to bring everyone up to speed" Holt said walking up to his desk.
"You slept in your office, and you look exactly the same. How" Jake said
"What are you talking about? My hair is a mess" Holt replied "Briefing room. 5 minutes" He said
"How long we're we sleeping?" Charles asked
"Just long enough for me to squeeze in a quick work out. So... Three hours?" Terry asked
"Morning" Rosa said walking into the Bull pen. Freshly showered, clean clothes. Coffee in her hand.
"Urgh. I can't believe you live nearby and you won't let anyone crash at your place" Jake said
"You people already know too much about me" She said
"I know exactly three facts about you, and one of them is that you won't let any of us crash at your place" He said. Rosa looked at him through her sunglasses. He was a practiced liar, and she herself struggled to find his tell sometimes. She smiled at him, taking off her sunglasses.
"Is that a nightgown?" She asked Amy who had just stood up.
"It's mine. From my fat phase" Terrys aid as he lef the conversation astray.
Jake got up to go to the bathroom, then returned, as he walked into the briefing room, everyone else followed.
"Ok. A couple of quick announcements. First, I met our night janitor. Ronald. If any of you are missing hand sanitizer, he drank it" Jake said
"Second. Our warrants finally went through. We gotta place Witman at the scene and prove that he either possessed or stole those diamonds" Jake said
"I know you're all tired. But don't forget why we're all here" Holt said
"Because we're dedicated detectives Jake said
"Because Peralta jumped the gun" Holt confirmed
"Yep" Jake confirmed
"Get to work" Holt said
"So... We both had good answers" Jake replied
"This isn't a joke. You're ruining our weekend" Amy said
"Ok. I'm sorry you had to cancel dinner with your dad" Jake replied sarcastically
"Date. I had a date" Amy replied. Pissed off. Rosa, who was now pissed off with Amy for being pissed off with Jake kicked her chair.
"Hey. If Jake said that the guy did it, it usually means that the guy did it" She said. She knew more than well enough just how good Jake's gut was when it came to police work.
"Thank you. Everyone listen to Rosa" Jake said
"Nope. I'm still furious at you" She replied
"Ok. No one listen to Rosa. She's clearly an accomplice to this crime" Jake said picking up his file and walking out of the briefing room. I'm going to go take another crack at Whitman" He said
"You've been in there like 5 times. What are you going to do? Annoy him into talking?" Amy asked
"Haha!" Jake said walking off. He returned a few moments later with a guitar.
"Didn't work. Did not work" He said passing the guitar to Terry
"What did you do?" Charles asked
"This" Jake said, picking up the guitar, and strumming badly, and out of tune. Then started screaming off key. Rosa started laughing as Amy flinched at the noise.
"Time well spent then" Terry replied
-Saturday, 15:48pm.
Jake walked into Captain Holt's office. Asking again, if he could let everyone else go.
"Are you sure Whitman did it?" Holt asked
"Yes. Positive" Jake said
"Then the whole tesam stays" Holt replied. "We have a better shot with everyone on it" Holt said. Jake returned to his desk, chatting to Amy. Surpring her with his incredible detective skills.
"Reschedule your date for tonight. I promise I will get us out of here in time" Jake said
"Fine. I'm holding you to that" Amy said
"Where's he taking you?" Rosa asked. Jake jumped, not realising that she was behind him. He smiled slightly knowing she was in his presence.
"Terrific, let's get everyone involved" Amy said. Both Jake and Rosa noticed the turn in her tone. She was angry with Jake, but she was also pissed off with Rosa, and neither of them knew why. "Dinner and a movie" She finished. Rosa blew a raspberry into her hand. Jake sniggered.
"Dinner and a movie is the perfect first date" Amy replied
"I think the perfect first date, doesn't feel like a first date at all. Because, you've known each other for a few years, maybe even worked together, and then one night, your laughing, then all of a sudden, it's like BLAMO! Kissing" Charles said
"For me, cheap dinner, watch basketball. Bone down" Rosa said. Jake's eyes lowered in lust as he couldn't take his eyes off her. Both their minds filled with sensuous memories of that night back at the academy.
Flashback
"Jake please! Fuck! Don't stop" Rosa begged, as Jake took her hard on the bed. They had been doing this on and off throughout the entire course.
"Rosa! Fuck you're so tight" Jake growled, as he hooked her leg over his shoulder getting better access. Deeper, harder!
"Fuck!" Rosa screamed as he brought her closer to her climax.
"Fuck" Rosa and Jake thoughts. Rosa felt her core tense, and Jake felt a stir in his jeans. Half a second eye contact was all they needed to tell one another.
"Right. Well. Let's get this sorted so Santiago can have her date" Jake said picking up a file and walking off. Rosa watched him go, then followed a few seconds later.
"Hey" He greeted as she walked into the evidence room.
"12 years ago, and that night can still make me wet at a single thought" She said as she grabbed his hand, and brought it straight to her dripping core, under her jeans. He stroked her.
"I want to make you feel every pleasure possible" He muttered in her ear
"Jake. We're on a ticking clock. How about we cum, and then when you solve this case, I'll give you a night that you won't forget" She bargained. Leaning in to kiss him before he had a chance to reply. She could feel his hot fingertips on her skin, burning into her as they traced up and down his side, desperate for her tough, to feel his skin.
The feeling went straight into her core, as she moaned his name, over and over.
"Diaz. Stop it, I don't know how long I can hold on with your mouth making those noises" He said
"Let me shut myself up then" She replied as she dropped to her knees before him.
"Fuck Rosa" He moaned as she pulled his rock-hard member from the constraints of his jeans, and licked him form base to tip, before taking the entire length inside her. Up and down on his hard length.
She continued to tease him blissfully with her mouth for a few more minutes, before, with every ounce of self control he had, he pulled himself from her.
"As much as I love you doing that babe, I have to be inside you" He said apologetically, as she helped him to pull Jeans down her legs, and straddle him, in a way which meant she could take control, and she could ride his member until she lost all control. Jake, who was lost in the feeling thrusted his hips to meet hers, but when she tightened around him, so impossibly tight, it milked his hard cock of every drop of cum. She pulled herself off him, and once more dropped to her knees, taking him in her mouth once more, tasting the combination of both their juices. She stood up and dressed, walking to the door before stopping and turning to Jake.
"Until later" She winked walking out, Jake needed a few more minutes to cool himself off.
-Saturday 19:39pm-
Rosa, who was tired, but satisfied, managed to stay nice, to Charles talking about burning himself, and Gina when she made a point about pies, as Jake shouted to the room that he had Whitman dead to rights. Charles started going on about something about mouth feel. She watched as Jake came walking back into the room and punched his chair
"Did it not go well?" She asked, walking up to his desk, sitting in the perp chair beside
"He asked for his lawyer" Jake admitted
"Crap" she said
"Yep. Can you try and track him down? I can't imagine he'll be too pleased with me" Jake said
"Sure" she replied, placing a hand on his thigh. Maybe an inch too high. Maybe a second too long. No one noticed, but Jake appreciated it.
-Sunday 12:59am-
Rosa watched as Jake pissed Santiago off, after she sat in pie.
"I think the world of you" Jake called, catching Rosa's waited eyebrow "As a colleague and friend" He added. She smiled, returning to her work.
-Sunday 02:24am-
Jake sat at his desk, and watched as Rosa walked back into the room. Showered, clean and in a new set of clothes. She had just come back from her break and he envied her.
"You went home and showered? That is so unfair" Jake complained
"I'm just glad I keep a toothbrush here" Charles said. Rosa tuned out Jae's gross habits, asking to borrow his toothbrush.
Jake walked over to her, once Gina had distracted the room with more pies.
"Here" She said handing him a bag. He had some toiletries left at her place, along with some clothes.
"Thank you" He said placing a quick, unnoticed kiss to her cheek, as he walked off towards Babylon. He decided that if he changed his clothes, it would look too suspicious, so instead he locked the door or Babylon, and stripped down to his underwear. He put on the new underwear which Rosa had brought, and washed his body in the sink, and his hair. He put on deodorant, and got back in his dirty clothes, feeling cleaner than he did before. He brushed his teeth, with the toothbrush and tooth paste she had brought, and rinsed his mouth with mouthwash. Feeling cleaner, and a little clearer headed, he made his way back into the bull pen.
-Sunday 07:54am-
Finally, his lawyer showed up. Jake sighed in dismay, as the guy looked even more pissed off than the rest. Jake made a point of this to the lawyer, as he was fed up with everyone being pissed off with him. He followed a hunch, what was so wrong about that...
Rosa walked off to run some more checks, traffic cameras, whilst Scully went down to New Jersey.
Jake and Amy finally got the footage back so were going through that. Nothing. Jake managed to find some soul patch guy, they didn't realise how fast time was flying by until Scully returned, with no good news.
-Sunday. 17:19pm-
"Come on Peralta" Rosa said, to Jake, making him jump as he didn't know she was standing behind him
"What?" He asked
"You've had your fun with Amy. But you have messed up two of her dates. Why don't you call Luke and organise a date for them tonight? You can guarantee that she won't be stuck here, the 48 hours is up soon" Rosa said. Jake thought for a few moments, but remembering the last time he had fucked with Amy's date, and how it had fucked up him and Rosa, he had no choice but to agree.
"Ok" He said picking up the phone
"Solve this case, and I'll suck your dick until you balck out tonight" She whispered in his ear before walking away.
"Ok, what can I do?" Amy asked walking up to Jake.
"Oh. Your services will not be necessary, because you need to go home and change for your date" Jake said
"What?" Amy asked
"I called handsome Luke. I explained the weekend was entirely my fault partially, and he wants to go out with you tonight" Jake said
"Thanks Peralta" Amy said. Rosa looked on the pair and smiled
"You're welcome. Just promise me you won't use the condoms in the secret pocket of your purse ok? They're expired" He asked
"How do you know what's in my purse?" She asked. Jake looked behind her to see Rosa raising an eye. He remembered once when she forgot to take her pill and they had to use condoms for a month, he was desperate, and they had used up both of theirs, he stole Amy's purse to take one of hers only to find them expired.
Quick thinking Jake.
"I needed concealer for a zit" He said. Pretty believable lie, he thought.
"You know. Plus, we spend so much time in here together I know everything about everyone" Jake said "I know Hitchcock went bald at 15, Scully used to date Hitchcock's wife. Charles has a bike with a little basket at the front, and Rosa has a shower in her apartment. I think. I got nothing on her" Jake said, making sure to live their lie about their entwined love lives.
"Good" Rosa called
"Well. I guess we did just spend 48 hours locked in here together" Amy said. Jake flicked his eyes down,
"Locked in here together" He said, as Jake grabbed a folder and walked off to Holt's office.
"What's going on?" Rosa asked Amy.
"Beats me. He just does this" She said walking off.
"SQUAD! Briefing room. Now" Holt said walking out. They all walked over into the briefing room.
"Update on the Witman case. Peralta" He said. Jake, who was sat at the front by Rosa, stood, and walked to the front.
"Witman, is now once more, behind bars" Jake said
"You got him?" Rosa asked
"Yep. The guy outside the jewellery store was Witman's old cell mate, Marcus Cole. Witman taught him his MO, Witman got an alibi, Cole pulled off the robbery and they split the loot" Jake said
"Nice work Jake" Charles said.
"Thank you" Jake said sitting down.
"Everyone go home. You've had a long few days. Get some rest. Dismissed" Holt said. And everyone started to go home, Jake, stopped them as they got into the elevator.
"Sorry for screwing up everyone's weekend, drinks on me. Who's in?" He asked
"Everyone's tired Peralta" Holt said "They just want to go home" Holt added
"But I have to prove I'm not selfish so I don't care what they want" Jake said. Rosa raised an eyebrow at him, and Jake remembered her promise, for when he solved the case.
"That sounded bad. And to make up for what I did, I'll cover one shift for each of you" He said "Except Santiago. I got you your date back, one nice thing is all you get from me" He said. They reached the parking lot, where they all split up. Jake and Rosa held back.
"Mine" she said
"You get more than one nice thing" He said to her with a wink. They got back to hers and lived up to their promises.
