The phone rang again. "This better be Dusty." Jinny said and then answered. "Dusty... yeah! Yeah sure... okay, 23rd street at Minnesota. 1011 #6. Got it. Thanks." She scribbled it down and grinned at CD. "yes... yeah. As soon as we're done there. I promise I'll come to the meeting. I'll see ya then." She hung up again.

"And? What do we have?" CD was curious since it sounded like they possibly had an apartment.

Jinny handed her the slip of paper. "Like I just told you... a loft. Potrero Hill, wanna go check it out?"

"Definitely, but first of all I need to change. Can't go there in my sleeping stuff." She grinned. "I'll be right back!" She rushed out of the kitchen and changed as fast as she could.

After a while she walked back in. "Here I am again. Ready to go!" She got her keys.

"Whoa. You're eager." Jinny grinned but she was too. "Let's go then" She followed CD.

They drove a while but finally they were there. "Wow", was all CD could say. "If it's as good on the inside as it looks on the outside, it's perfect!"

Jinny nodded and then a woman arrived. "Are you the two interested in this loft?"

"Yes, we are. Exstead and DeLorenzo." CD introduced them.

Jinny nodded. "Hi."

The woman smiled and led them inside and showed them everything. "This sunny, top-floor loft has fantastic views and all-day sunshine! Common roof- deck offers BBQ grill and patio furniture with views of the Bay. The Tri- level floor plan is offering an excellent separation of space." She said and started the tour by showing them the gas fireplace in the living area which was surrounded by a painted accent wall. "The all-day exposure is offering terrific natural light." She said as they approached the corner unit with 2 walls of windows and great views. "Floor-to-ceiling windows with coverings are included of course." She continued and then they went up the straight staircase with metal rail detailing where she showed them the second gas fireplace on third level that was creating a cozy room and then she showed them the large private bath. "The bathrooms are tiled with marble and granite accents and there's good closet space throughout. As you can see there are maple hardwood floors, carpet in mezzanine, upgraded overhead lighting throughout."

CD and Jinny followed her into the U-Shaped kitchen with cherry and glass cabinetry. She smiled at them as she continued to point out various things. "Here we have an attractive and convenient granite breakfast bar in kitchen: perfect for entertaining!" She winked at them. "The kitchen includes: Stainless steel refrigerator, dishwasher, gas oven/range and garbage disposal." She listed all the things they saw there. "Oh and by the way. The building offers exercise room with equipment off of lobby. I can show you that too later. And here's the Washer/Dryer in loft." She quickly showed them that and then explained the building was secure with intercom/telephone entry system."

"Yeah we know this stuff." Jinny said.

The real estate woman raised her eyebrow at them upon that comment and CD showed her badge. "We're cops. So we know security systems." She explained.

"Wow. I never met a cop before." She was impressed. "And I never would have thought that. I mean you two don't look like cops."

Jinny just rolled her eyes and CD chuckled.

Then they walked up to the roof deck with panoramic views and BBQ. The woman pointed in a few directions from there. "You have easy access to freeway 280 & 101, downtown SF, the Financial district, Pac Bell Park & the Embarcadero. It's also convenient to all modes of public transportation." With that she finished her speech and the tour.

"Wow, that's just perfect. What do you think, Jinny?" CD was stunned.

Jinny grinned. "I love it! It's perfect! It's like made for us!"

"Yeah, do we take it?" CD asked.

"Sure thing." Jinny nodded. "Where do we sign?"

CD smiled. This was all too perfect. First Nate, then this!

The woman smiled and handed her a contract. Jinny signed it and handed it to CD. "You can move in right away." The friendly brunette said.

CD signed it too. "Wow, that's so great!" CD hugged Jinny.

Jinny hugged her back. "I know! I mean we live together but we still have our privacy here and everything."

"Yeah, everyone has her own bath- and bedroom. Thats' so great ... Hey, I'll call Nate. He can help us move in here instantly." She took out her cell phone and dialled Nate's number at the division.

Jinny nodded. "And I'll recruit Casey. I can't wait to move in here"

"Me neither" CD answered grinning.

Nate answered his phone. "Basso" He sounded pissed. Working with Magda was hell. Well actually what pissed him off was that he had seen her for five minutes and she had said 'hello' and 'be right back' and he still was waiting for her to come back. He had done most of the work alone so far.

"Hey sweety, it's me." CD whispered so that Jinny wouldn't hear her. "How are you?"

"Fuming. But it's sure good to hear your voice." He smiled instantly. "What's going on?"

"Jinny and I are moving. We have an apartment which is just perfect and I'll recruit you to help me move in here." She grinned too now.

"Hey that's great! Wow, that was fast! But wow! I'll tell cap and come over. Meet at your place in half an hour?"

"Okay, sounds good to me. See you there." She blew a kiss into the phone and hung up. Then she adressed her friend. "Hey Jinny. Nate will be over at my apartment in half an hour."

Jinny grinned. "Great. Hey can you drop me off at my place? That way I can go to a meeting then and Casey will meet me in an hour, he's helping me too."

"Sure, fine. Here's your key." Handing it to her she grinned again cause she was so happy.
