Hi I was hoping for some reviews but I didn't get any on the first chapter but that's cool I'm still going to write this chapter and see what happens! Please r & r and all feedback (i.e. good and bad) is always welcome. Constructive criticism is also always welcome. Well anyway enough waffle here goes chapter 2 .



She felt the presence of her follower clearly behind her and her fears came true when they put a hand firmly onto her shoulder. She tried to scream but her mouth opened to produce nothing. The follower was breathing hard behind her and they spun her round to face them. She closed her eyes in an attempt to protect herself and then.

"Warrick?"

Breathlessly the tall man replied, "Yeah,"

"Geez man you scared me!"

"I never would've guessed that from the way you were running away from me!"

"Sorry it's just dark alley ways and that case we were doing earlier kind of freaked me out."

"Why were you running anyway?"

"I could ask you the same question," she replied, defensive mode setting in.

"You forgot your cell, you left it in the break room and since my SUV's in the shop I thought I'd run after you to give it back. Instead I get treated like a stalker!" He laughed with the last statement.

"I'm sorry Warrick honestly I am, But I mean really couldn't you have shouted out? I would've recognised your voice!"

"I did!"

"Well, I didn't hear you."

"I gathered,"

Catherine sighed. She was never usually freaked out; she'd just been in a world of her own. Thinking about a few things.

"Well my dear friend," Warrick stated, "I'm just going to have to walk you home now, make sure no other stalkers try and follow you," He winked at his colleague.

She returned the flirtatious statement and giggled, "I think you will,"

He crooked his arm in a gentlemanly gesture and she linked arms, snuggling in close to Warrick's strong arm.

Warrick noticed that Catherine was shivering under her thin coat.

"Are you shaking for the hell of it or are you just cold?" He smirked.

"Both,"

"I'm not surprised look how thin your coat is. Did you not see the weather forecast this morning?"

"No because I was at work this morning remember?"

"You know what I mean."

"Yes I do I just like winding you up, anyway in answer to your question no I didn't."

Warrick started removing his Leather jacket.

"Oh no you don't you'll freeze," Catherine objected.

"No I won't," He revealed the fleece he was wearing underneath. Catherine started to giggle.

"What? Do you have a problem with men wearing fluffy fleeces?"

"Course not," she smirked.

"My mama always told me to wrap up warm, I presume yours didn't cheeky."

She raised an eyebrow at him and smiled. "No, she didn't." Warrick noticed a small look of sadness invade Catherine's usually happy eyes.

"What's up?"

"Nothing," she lied. "Anyway weren't you meant to be getting me home and giving me your coat to do the manly thing and keep me warm?"

"Well yes and yes, but I can think of better ways of getting warm,"

"Cheeky,"

He finished removing his coat and he held it behind Catherine so she could slide her arms into his coat. She smelt the lovely scent of his aftershave wafting up form the collar of his coat and she sighed contentedly. This time Warrick put his arm around Catherine and they walked to her house briskly.

They reached it in no time, Catherine having to keep up with the taller man's much larger strides. Fiddling in her bag for her keys the pair chatted casually about the night's cases. Finally, Catherine retrieved the keys and put them into the keyhole and swiftly turned them to reveal the dark living room of her house.

She stepped inside and started to remove Warrick's coat and then she winked at the younger man who was still politely stood outside the door.

"What?" He asked.

"Well, aren't you coming in.?"
