Chapter Three

"Dammit Ric you are my partner." Jason shouted at his one time friend. Ric even believed that he had killed Elizabeth. He had not killed Elizabeth; he was with his family Dammit. He had Ric up by neck and with his other fist, he slammed it against the wall. "Damn you Ric. You know I didn't killed her."

"I wasn't with you that night and when you were talking you said you were pissed that she cheated on you, so how do I know you didn't kill her." Ric said, gasping for air.

"I have never lifted a hand to a woman. I would never kill a woman and you fucking know it," he said, slamming Ric into the wall to punctuate each word. "I did not kill her Dammit," He screamed so loud that he did not hear the door open.

"Well Detective Morgan, you do like that work at making yourself look bad don't you," Courtney spoke from the doorway with her arms folded against her chest, looking on at the scene. "Let Mr. Lancing down now, Mr. Morgan or I will have no problem hauling you ass to jail."

Jason let Ric slide to the floor, grasping for breath. He turned and looked at her. She just got more and more beautiful every time, and he might even like her, if she wasn't such a damn bitch. "Well Ms. Matthews, always coming in on my unflattering moments," he cam closer to her and lean down whispering in her ear. "I am much better in the bedroom care to join me."

She lean back down, "Honey you couldn't handle me," her foot raised up and she brought it right to his foot. Her 3-inch heel digging into his toes. When she heard his gasp, she smiled. She whisper again in his ear, "I like it rough," she stood up and straight and moved over to Lucky.

"Mr. Lansing may I ask you a few questions," the man who came here with Court ..................... Detective Matthews came with. Jason felt his jealousy rise. She was his, not this guys. She should be with him not that guy. Who in the hell is he? Why is he with her? What right does he have? Jason felt his hands ball into fist......what in the hell is wrong with you Morgan get a grip. She isn't yours. You shouldn't care if she fucked every damn guy in PC. But god did it. The thought of some man touching her made his blood boil.

"Lucky what in the hell is wrong with you, look he's been hurt plus you have anger boy here," she said looking over at Jason. Damn did her look good. She was so tempted to take him up on his offer to go to the bedroom. When she felt his breath on her ear, she wanted nothing more then to turn her head and take his lips with hers. 'Dammit Matthews get a hold of your self. He could be a murder and here you are lusting after him. What in the fuck is you problem?' she chided herself. She turned back to her partner, "Take him to hospital and get him checked out while I talk to Mr. Morgan," she said to Lucky.

"Are you sure, you could take Mr. Lansing while I take care of this guy," Lucky said looking over at Jason. He didn't want to leave Courtney with this guy. Not out of fear for Court, she could take care of her self but he felt this guy had a little too much interest in Courtney for Lucky liking.

She looked over at Jason, he was standing there rocking back and fourth on his heels and his arms folded across his hard chest with a scowl on his face. He had a five o'clock shadow, which made him look all the more dangerous. Like he could kill. 'Well Court,' the little voice in the back of her head said 'he most likely did so don't go lusting after him because sooner or later you will be locking him' she looked back over at lucky hoping her feeling were not showing in her eyes. "I'll be fine don't worry just take him to the hospital," she said and it would be fine 'as long as I don't jump his bones' she added silently to herself.

"Yeah Lucky," he said adding extra emphasis on the name "we'll be fine," he looked at the smaller man.

As Lucky went by he looked at Jason, "Don't you dare hurt her or I swear to.............." he was cut short by Courtney.

"GO LUCKY," she said sending him a death glare. "I will be fine."

"Fine I'm going," he sent Jason one more look, a look that said what he wanted to say, that if he touched her that he would kill him and it wouldn't be quick.

Jason didn't want to hurt her, if any thing he wanted to love her, 'Now Morgan where in the hell did that come from. You don't want to love any woman.' he told himself. "Look Court..................Agent Matthews I am not in the mood for twenty questions, so if that is what you are going to ask me then forget it," he start to walk out the door but she grabbed his arms.

"Either we can do the twenty questions here or I can haul your damn ass down to the station and I'll do it in the interrogation room, so it's your choice."

"Fine ask a away agent Matthews," he plop down in one of the oversize chair and crossed his hands in his lap waiting until she said something.

"Why are you here?" she asked. Moving over to the chair across from him, sitting down with her legs under her.

"I came to see Ric," was all he said.

"Well that was obvious."

"well that is what you asked. Was it not?"

"Yes............yes I did, so I guess I have to be more detailed with you. Why did you come to see Ric," she asked on a sigh. He was not going to easy was he.

"I came to see him to tell him I did not kill Elizabeth, he believes I did and I wanted to know why," he told her. It was true he wanted to know why.................why his own partner had done him in.

"And did need violence?"

"No.............look my temper got a little out of control, so look I'm sorry and I'll call Ric and tell him that myself. So are we done now?"

"I guess I should get down to Hospital and help Lucky ask Ric some questions," she said as she unfolded herself from the chair and started to walk by him as he grabbed her arm and pulled her down to sit with him, in his lap. "What in the hell are you doing?"

"What in the fuck kind of name is Lucky?" he asked. He hated that man already and didn't like the guy already. it seemed like he had already set his claim on Courtney, well he didn't give a shit he would have her when this was all over. "What going on between you two."

She tried to pull away from his grasp, "Its none of your goddamn business, not let me the fuck go," she tried again to pull away from him but he only tighten his grasp on his arms

"Do you kiss you mother with that mouth, " he asked with a teasing smile.

"Yeah you got a problem with that," she told him as she gave up fighting against his grasp.

"Nope because if it's good enough for her, it perfect for me," he leaned down and took her lips with his. Kissing her hard, his tongue stroking her tongue telling to come and play, which it did. Playing a game of cat and mouse, her arms going around his neck playing with his hair at the base of the neck.

"Well hey blondy..............Well, well," came a voice from the door.
