A/N: Okay too few reviews guys

A/N2: No one commented on how cool Gabriel's laughing at Sara's behavior was. Pout!

Vicky sat at her desk tapping her pencil. She was manipulating Jakeshe didn't do things like that. Biting her lip she contemplated how to keep things sweet and light that night so she didn't lead Jake on.

"So Dr. Po what food are you interested in for this evening?" McCartey asked as he came to sit on her desk.

"Um"

Suddenly Vicky saw a dark and ominous figure in the door listening. Ian was surprised that Vicky would decide to go out with the likes of Jake McCartey, but it showed him that she did care a great deal. She was upset enough to try to make him jealousand it was working. He stood considering her raising an eyebrow. "Yes Vicky what would you like to eat with Detective McCartey?"

"Chinese," she muttered quickly.

"We had that last night my dear," Ian stated smoothly knowing exactly how to behave in the face of an opponent. Gabriel he could not best with Sara because of their friendship but Jake wasn't much of anything to Vicky. He would not loose Vicky to a blond surfer especially when he knew she only wished to make him envious.

Vicky opened and closed her mouth a few times before Jake stood. "The lady has plans with me tonight. So leave us to them. You had your shot and blew it. She obviously doesn't want to see you."

She had expected Ian to come groveling or pleading if he was going to do anything. This absolute confidence that radiated off him was unnerving and very attractive. "Is it obvious? I'm not sure. Vicky is it obvious you do not want to see me? Is it obvious that I blew it?" Ian cooed approaching slowly never dropping her gaze.

Blinking rapidly she had yet to say a word since she was just staring. Jake went to push at Ian's shoulder to get his attention but the former assassin's fingers caught the detective's mid motion never turning his head. Ian's focus was still firmly planted on Vicky's face. "I am waiting for an answerI was under the impression we were both waiting," he murmured. "Wasn't that what you said Vicky? That you could wait?"

Swallowing slowly Vicky tried to look away but couldn't. She was beginning to understand what it would be like to have Ian's attention. He would be singling minded and focused. Suddenly a scene from Terminator 2 flashed in her mind, where Sara Connor realized the machine would be the best father for her son. Ian was like that. He would never leave her, have no time for her or get angry and hit her. If she wanted him to be he would gladly become her willing slave.

The recognition flashed in her eyes and Ian slightly smirked. She just put it together. He had no designs on Sarashe was his focus. Jake was all but forgotten. Vicky saw no one but Ian.

He removed his gloves and ran his index finger over the side of her jaw. Squatting down in front of her Ian took Vicky's hands with his ungloved ones and whispered, "I'm willing to wait." Softly he kissed her hands and turned his gaze on her again.

Jake stood back and watched the exchanged knowing he had lost the fight. Vicky hadn't acknowledged his presence since Nottingham arrived. This man had managed to waltz in and seduce the coroner in less than five minutes. Jake admitted defeated and left the office sulking.

Danny and he bumped into one another. "Why the sad face? You were all jonesing on your evenings entertainment."

"Yeah until what was it that she called him? Until Robin Hood swept in, hypnotized her, and effectively made me invisible to the naked eye."

"Ouch I thought you said she was pissed at him."

"She was. I mean he didn't even apologize for whatever it was he did," Jake muttered as they entered their office where Pezzini sat. "It was just likecompletely pissed off Vickycompletely enthralled Vicky. Maybe the guy is a vampire."

Sara chuckled, "For the record Ian is not a vampire and I am the reason she was pissed."

"What?"

"She saw Ian comfort megiving me a hug in the parkand blew it way out of proportion. So much so she threaten to tell Gabriel I was cheating on him."

Danny looked at Pez then Jake. "And he didn't apologize while you were down there?"

"No."

Sara smirked, "Ian only has one setting when it comes to women devoted. Gabriel and I just told him to go in and show that same sort of determination and Vicky would figure out the rest."

"You couldn't have let me have one date with her before sending him back?" Jake muttered.

Danny and Sara stared at him a moment. "You do realize that she agreed to go out with you to piss Ian off?" Sara stated softly. "I'm not saying you aren't a great guy but Vicky is really into Ian. Jealousy is a normal sign of attraction. Acting out is a sign of extreme attraction."

Danny noticed the look in her eyes. "What did you do?"

"What?"

"That last statement hit too close to home. There was no need to bring up the acting out Have you shown signs of extreme attraction Sara?" Woo asked batting his eyes.

"I don't know what you are talking about," Sara lied through her teeth.

"Ah huh?" Danny mocked. He pulled her cell phone off her desk and hit the speed dial button.

"What do you think you are doing?" Sara snapped.

"Talisma Oh hey luv. Didn't check the caller id So what compensation am I going to get for your little display at the restaurant?" Gabriel teased.

"I don't knowSara, what sort of compensation is Gabe going to get for your display at the restaurant?" Danny asked his partner while Gabriel floundered. Sara started to blush. "Hey kidwhatever happened had to have been good cause she's blushing. So what'd she do?"

"UmIf Sara wants you to know she'll tell you," the younger man covered his butt.

"Sara do you want me to know? It might be easier if your boy told me cause you know I'm going to keep pushing and this way you won't have to say the words," Danny stated.

She growled loudly with a, "Finehave him tell you. I'm going to make sure Vicky and Ian are alright." She fled the room not wanting to be around when her best friend heard of her idiocy.

"Okay you heard the ladyspill."

"Uh"

"Well so far I know it occurred at a restaurant, she blew something out of proportion and it is linked to jealousy so fill in the rest of the blanks," Danny ordered.

Gabriel thought of the best way to say this with the least amount of embarrassment to Sara. "I had plans for lunch with my sister today so I couldn't go out with Sara. I stupidly didn't mention who I had plans withso when Sara saw me eating with another woman she jumped to the wrong conclusion. It's all worked out now."

"Survey sayENNGGHH. Sorry no dice. You left out whatever happened that embarrassed Saratry again."

There was a long pause. "She walked up to the table and made the accusation a little loud. It was my sister so I laughed. I shouldn't have but I didthus pissing my beloved off immensely"

"AND" Danny prompted.

"And she dumped a pitcher of water all over me."

Danny was dying laughing at Sara's behavior. "What'd she do man?" Jake asked.

"She dumped water all over the man's head for eating with his sister."

"No way."

"Oh yes" Danny returned to the conversation with Gabriel, "So what happened next? Ya yell at her or what?"

"No actually I laughed my ass off."

"You what?"

"I laughed."

Danny tried to put this together in his brain. "You laughed. The woman you love walks up to you at a restaurant, accuses you of cheating on her loudly, and then dumps water on you and your response was to laugh. Are you insane?"

"Why get mad? I didn't do anything wrong. All she had to do was take a good look at my sis's face and she could see we were family. If I got mad Sara would feel justified no matter how wrong she was. If I don't let it get to me she'll see how ridiculous her actions were," Gabriel explained.

"Were you born this logical or is it a gift?"

"Let's just say I have an old soul."

"Funny."

"How did your sister take the temper tantrum?"

Gabriel sighed, "Not well at all. Liz was in a really screwed up relationship with a guy who had that same sort of flash in the pan temper. She said in front of Sara that I should break up with her. Its hard cause Liz and I are really close. It's not like she wants little miss perfect for me. She just wants me not to go through the same pitfalls she did Then of course having heard the previous night about our big fight made everything worse. Right now Sara isevil in her book."

"Big fight?" Danny inquired long since turned from Jake.

"I shouldn't have mentioned it."

"Out with it." Gabriel didn't respond. "Look you may as well accept now that if you don't understand Sara's actions I have over ten years experience to help clarify things."

Gabe shook his head at no one, "Its been worked through."

"Right and it had nothing to do with her dumping water on you."

"Danny Fine Sara violated my trust. She knows it; I know it and only time will fix it. Her display this afternoon was just fear. She violated my trust so why wouldn't I violate hers was the line of thinking," Gabriel stated patiently.

"So you're okay with all this?"

"I knew she had a temper coming into this. But that temper comes from the same place her passion for life comes from. That passion is one of the things I love most about her. A docile Sara wouldn't be my SaraSo I'll take the occasional water in the face and arm flailing so I can have those moments when I am doing something I have never done before or am looking at the world in an entirely new way. Sara's outbursts are what make Sara Sara."

"You love my best friend," Danny stated solemnly.

"YeahI do."

"She feels the same ya know. You can see it in her eyesand when she talks about you she lights up."

Gabriel worried his lip and closed his eyes taking in the gift he was just given. "Thanks."

"You're welcome."

Sara stood in front of her partner tapping her foot; "WellCan I have my boy back please?"

"Hey I made the call."

"Well I programmed the number so give it here," she demanded.

"Bye Gabe. The Shrew has returned," Danny said.

"I'll take Katherine over Bianca any day," Gabriel replied.

Danny smirked. "What's so funny?" Sara snapped.

"He says he'd take Katherine over Bianca any day," Danny stated handing her the phone. As he placed it in her palm he whispered, "Don't screw this up Pez. He's a keeper." She nodded.

"Hey there water boy."

"And how is my fine Kate this afternoon."

"Better So what do you want Shakespeare? How can the Shrew make up for her unseemly behavior?" Sara asked calmly.

Gabriel smiled to himself, "I can't remember, do you like Shakespeare?"

"YeahI do."

"Okay."

"Okay?"

"Okay."

"We had this part of the conversation the other night Gabriel only in reverse."

"I'm just filing the information away for future use," he mumbled spinning a quarter on his desk.

Sara paced a little, "So really what can I do to make it up to you?"

An evil smile came over his lips, "I'm sure there will be some public humiliation I'll think of in the future. Or maybe it will just be a get out of jail free card."

"Gabriel" she whined.

"Sara" he mimicked.

"FineI'll see you later."

"Good Love you Kat."

"Love you too," Sara hung up the phone and turned around.

Danny and Jake both had their arms crossed over their chests. "What?"

"His sister?"

It was going to be a long afternoon.
