A/N: I am re-posting this chapter because everyone has lost their minds. I AM NOT I REPEATAM NOT ENDING THE SERIES HERE. The reviews I have gotten so far have over looked the little To Be Continued sign at the end. I am just leaving a cliff hanger until next chapter so everyone CHILL OUT!

PS I DON'T like going from having several reviews per chapter to just a couple. YOU MUST REVIEW!

"Oh, tell me I can have one?" Vicky begged as a set of rosespurple roseswere delivered to Sara in the morgue by Sly, who was spacey as ever.

"Heregot to go," the freaky kid said handing her the card.

Danny and Jake smirked. "Who was that?" Danny questioned.

"Sly."

"Dating younger men?" Jake quipped assuming that the kid was a delivery guy for the dark haired menace that Sara constantly seemed to be going to lunch with.

"I am not dating Sly," Sara barked.

"She is however dating a younger man however," the corner smirked. Danny and Jake joined her in the 'we laugh in your general direction' face that Vicky was sporting. "He is quite funny and has 'amazing hands' I believe was said to me."

Sara was ready to crawl into one of the refrigerated storage compartments occupied or no. "Really Amazing Hands. Is this why my dear friend has been far more relaxed at late?" Danny questioned. Sara did not respond.

"He is absolutely adorableand completely in love with Pez."

"He is not," Sara shot to Vicky abruptly.

"This sounds fun," Jake quipped. There had to be a second guy because the lunch buddy was definitely not younger or funny. "So Pez why has Vicky gotten to meet your little friend and we haven't?"

"No comment."

Vicky watched Sara's body language. "Tell them already."

"No."

"Why not?" the other woman argued.

"Mine," Sara said childishly and sat down hard opening the card she had received.

'Dear Sara,

Hope you are fully recovered. I couldn't get away to deliver these in person, though God knows I wanted to. I spent the entire night tossing and turning cursing my noble side, thinking how wonderful it would be to wake up next to youeven if nothing happenedespecially if nothing happened. Just to get to watch you sleep and know you were warm and safe in my arms. I'm not used to seeing you that vulnerable. It was a good reminder that you're human under all that bravado. I like you leaning on meletting me close.

Sly was instructed to find you no matter where you were in the station. Hopefully he does have enough sense not to follow you into the bathroom.

I'll see you tonight and check on you properly.

Gabriel'

Vicky was tapping her foot in front of Sara when she looked up. Po snatched the card from Sara's hands and scanned it quickly handing it back before the boys could see. "Now I not only want one of the flowers but one of him as well. Cloning him would take to long so we would have to find another one in the world. He already said his brother was married."

Danny laid a hand on Vicky's arm with concern, "You had a serious talk with this guy? We don't know he exists and she gets to really talk to him?" the partner complained.

"She was sick. He was nervous about itso I got called. Sara doesn't even remember talking to me."

"When was this?" Jake inquired for some odd reason getting irritated with the topic.

"Last night," Po remarked. The blonde gave her a sideways glance that no one in the room understoodnot even the giver.

Both men stared at Pezzini worried she shouldn't be at work. "Twenty-four hour thing," Sara explained.

Danny sat back and thought for a minute. He knew that there was a guy that Sara kept eating lunch with but he wasn't really the 'adorable' type. He vaguely remembered some other guy that she was friends with outside of work but he didn't even remember the guy's name. "Who is he Pez? Straight answer. No Bull."

"Oh come on guys. I had a rough night; my boyfriend sent me flowerscan't we just leave it at that."

"No!" Danny snapped. "I'm pulling rank here. Been the partner way too long for me not to know this type of stuff. What if something happens to you? Don't you want me to at least able to call him to let him know."

"You are an evil manipulative man Daniel Woo," Sara stated with clenched jaw.

She glared, "His name is Gabriel Bowman okay. He's on every speed dial I have. Now can we get on with work?"

"WaitGabriel Bowman?" Vicky questioned. "I know him."

"Yeah you met him last night," Jake sort of snipped.

"No I mean I know him by reputation. He's like the underground expert for all weird pieces of history. I have a friend in the Archeology department at NYU that used him as one of his resources on his thesis That kidThat guy isHe's a genius and a half Pez."

Sara smirked, "I know The funny thing is I don't think he ever went to college. My very own personal Good Will Hunting."

"So how young is he?" Jake asked casually wondering whom Sara would actually be compatible with.

Sara said nothing as both guys stared at her. When no progress was made they turned to Vicky"What? I don't know. It's not like I asked. I just teased him a bit. He didn't seem to like being referred to as 'the backrub guy' although he was really good at volleying back and forth."

"The backrub guy?" Jake raised an eyebrow.

"What? I'm allowed I get to tell my girlfriendgirl-friendly only material," Sara said adamantly.

"Oh I don't think so. I want detailspronto," Danny snapped.

"I am not giving you any more ammunition."

The wielder was pouting as she left the room to find something to put her flowers in. Danny followed her out, "Hey."

She groaned, "What?"

"If you don't want to talk in front of Jake or even Po that's fine, but come onyou usually tell me stuff like this. I've accepted the fact that you now lead a life that involves stuff you don't feel you can tell me about but I normally get your romances," he whined.

"FineHelp me find something for these and I'll tell you some."

"So reallyhow old is he?" Jake questioned Po.

"I don't know. I don't think he's anymore than twenty-four or fiveDon't give her a hard time Jake. He's really good to her and he makes her happy. Don't mess with that," Vicky warned.

"How is he good to her?" he asked folding his arms over his chest. "Any guy can buy flowers."

Vicky smirked, "But not any guy can get inside Sara's heartLast night watching him take care of her and worry over her it was plain to see he's in love with her even if Sara's not ready to admit it. Gabriel is her closest confidantcloser than Danny is. He's got the in on all of Sara's mysterious mumbo jumbo. He paid his dues as her friend, really wanting to be her friend, before things evolved."

Jake sat pensively for a minute. "That what you want Poa guy to be your friend and then have it be more?"

She stared at him, "I don't know Honestly I just want a guy who wants to be with me so much I can see it in his eyes when he's talking to me. I want someone to look at me the way I saw Gabriel looking at Sara."

He swallowed and nodded, "I'll go snag you a flower." He didn't look up as he spoke.

"Now that was odd," Vicky commented to the corpse on the table.

"SoFriends for months, gave you a backrub that turned you both on, and then dealt with feelings. Why didn't you tell me?" Danny questioned.

Sara really didn't have a good answer to that question. She shrugged, "I guessI guess I was playing it safe. After things with Danielafter he died..." Sara looked down, "Before I met Daniel I was jealous that Gabriel was dating someone. I was always sure I was the center of his universe when I was in his presence and then I wasn't anymore. Then Daniel showed up and despite the girlfriend Gabriel got jealous when Daniel came into the store and bought me some drums off of himThe attraction was always there. We just needed a pushand when it came it was good and terrifyingand I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop." Sara was staring down into her coffee mug. "I lost Daniel andI knewI knew if I lost Gabriel I was going to go off the deep end."

"You love him?" Danny said half statement half question.

"IYeah I love him on one levelI just can't say about the rest yet."

"Hey," Jake said from the door. "Mind if I snag a rose for our favorite coroner?"

"Nogo ahead," Sara said with a smile.

The surfer smirked, "Thanks."

"You okay there, Jake?" Danny asked suspiciously.

"Never better." The blonde walked away leaving the partners staring at each other.

"You don't think?" Pez questioned.

"Nah" the partners said in unison.

"Talismanic?"

"Hey Gabe," Sara said softly.

"Heyget my present?" he asked in a low peaceful voice.

"Yeahin the morguein front of Danny, Jake, and Vicky. She snatched the card and now really wants to find a way to clone you. Danny and Jake were far more interested in hearing all about the younger boyfriend with the amazing hands that Po squealed on me about."

"Amazing hands?"

"Amazing hands!" she stated firmly.

Gabriel smirked, "And when prêt ell did she first learn about my amazing hands? I was a little confused last night when I was 'the backrub guy.'"

"No comment?" Sara said in a hopeful tone.

"When?"

""

"Sara," Gabe chided.

"So I told Vicky after the backrub."

"When after the backrub? The next day? The next week? Once we started dating? What?" he questioned.

"Do I really have to answer?" she whimpered.

"I'll take that to mean'the next day Gabriel. I was completely affected and too proud to admit it.'"

"NoMore like 'I had a confused look on my face that my friend wanted an explanation to.'"

"When?" he prompted again.

She let out a frustrated growl; "Vicky and I had lunch the next day. She said I was wearing a weird face. I said I was processing something. I told her about the backrub and she told me it was obvious that you liked me. I dismissed it and mentioned the fact you had a girlfriend she mentioned it might behoove me to talk about it with youthus the phone calls. I honestly didn't think you were affected at all. I mainly thought you were just doing me a favor and that Po was off her nut. When you came over about Nottingham I just went with what you said. I started the re-evaluate when you started talking feelings but not beforeI never misled you."

Gabriel bit the inside of his mouth, "Yes detective Are you at least feeling better sweets?"

"YeahI am fairly sure it was just part of the vision. I'm guessing its sort of that whole Matrix idea that your mind 'makes it real' and crap like that. Thanks to the flowers I got the romance talk out of the way with Danny... which I had been trying to figure out how to do. It's not a very good to leave a man with a gun that guards your back out of the loop for long. He wants to meet youa lot."

"Soon I'm coming by tonight with chicken broth and rice from my mom. She demanded an explanation as to why I wasn't in my home when I knew she called at the same time every week. She was doubly mad I didn't answer my cell." He breathed deep, "You think its hard to tell your partners about metry telling my mom about you. Lord, I'm already getting the 'so when are you bringing her by the house' routine."

"Did you ever bring Jess by?" Sara asked casually.

"She never knew Jess existed."

"Oh good."

Gabriel chuckled, "You are going to be excited about everything I do with you that I didn't with Jessica."

Sara smirked, "You better believe it."

"What if I were to act this way about what's his name?" Gabe knew it was Daniel but chose to ignore it.

"He's dead GabrielWhat else do you want?" she asked seriously.

It was quiet for a moment. "Nothing. I shouldn't have brought it up."

Sara worried her lip a bit; "The roses are beautiful. I've never gotten purple ones before."

"My favoriteI thought you might like them."

"They're amazing."

"Wish you were hereor I was thereor something. I need to hold you," Gabriel said very softlyhis words stroking her skin intimately.

She closed her eyes; "I can almost feel you."

He smiled, "GoodI feel you where ever I am I I'll see you later."

"Bye."

Sara bit her lip. They were getting close and she knew it. Somewhere in her heart felt Ian crying for herout to her. For every action there was an equal and opposite reaction. Nothing was more true with Gabriel and Ian. She let her eyes drift shut and let the memory come of both Gabriel and Ian crying over her dying form over a lifetime ago. With a deep cleansing breath she let out a great sigh and opened her eyes. A desperate Ian stood before her.

A/N: Permission to bitch and moan about where I left off this chapter may beginnow.

A/N2: Can I say I am going to cry if they don't even consider doing another season next year. I mean what is that. I guess if the main star is in a great need of a rest and help sure I'm not going to fussbut that's not exactly how it sounded. Someone tell me what we can do to stop this from actually happening.
