Lost In Stormy Visions

Chapter 2
Monica smiled at Brad as he picked up her right hand and kissed it tenderly. The two were alone in the elevator and almost at Monica's floor so she gently pulled her hand out of Brad's.
The door pinged and opened at the fourth floor. For the people coming onto the elevator Monica said rather loudly, "Thanks for the lead, Agent Folmer. I'll be sure to look into it."
"Anytime Agent Reyes," replied Brad with a smile. As Monica exited the elevator, he whispered, "Will I see you later?"
"Maybe," said Monica with a quick, barely perceptible mischievous grin as she exited onto her floor.
The elevator doors closed and whisked Brad and the other FBI personnel to their various destinations.
Monica was still grinning as she walked down the hallway and entered her office. At her entrance her partner, Caleb Mattingly, looked up from his pile of work at her taping his watch. "You're late."
Monica glanced down at her own watch and frowned. She had been losing track of time lately. It wasn't like her. "Sorry," she said as she took off her jacket and pressed the power button on her computer.
"And wipe that stupid grin off your face," Caleb said in a good-humored attempt to try and lighten the mood after his earlier comment. Monica had covered his ass more times than he could count and he could at least let a few late mornings slide by.
Monica smiled at him. It was a smile that lit up her eyes and that worried Caleb. "Sorry, Cay. I can't help it. But I can help being late and it won't happen again."
Cay looked at his partner. "It's good to see you happy, Mon, really. But I just don't want to see you get hurt."
"The overprotective brother role doesn't work for you, Cay. Why don't you and Abbey come out with us sometime? We can double date."
Cay shook his head. "He's ambitious, Mon. He's just not your type."
Monica laughed. "Not my type? How do you know what my type is? And what's wrong with being ambitious?"
Cay opened his mouth to reply when the phone rang. He picked it up rather than replying to Monica's comment. "Mattingly. Yes, sir. I'll tell her." Cay hung up the phone. "The Big Man wants to see you."
Monica just looked at Cay. "Did he say what he wanted?"
"Nope, but I'm getting the impression that it has to do with a case. See what happens, Mon. You start doing well and they start giving you more work. I warned you."
Monica laughed as she stood up and put back on her suit jacket. It was then that she noticed that Cay wasn't standing up. "Just me?"
"Just you." At Monica's frown, Cay laughed. "Don't worry about me. I'll still be here when you get back."
Monica nodded but when she got to the door, she gave Cay one last look.
Cay just smiled at her. "Go on. And I'm sorry about my earlier comments. I have no right to say what you should do with your personal life. I'm only your partner."
"Yes, but your also my friend and I value your opinion. You'd like him if you'd give him a chance."
Cay just nodded to let her know that all was square business between them.
Monica nodded and exited their office on her way to see the Big Man.
Cay just stared after her and muttered, "I somehow doubt it."
