Flack knocked on Aiden's door and adjusted his tie. He didn't know why but he was nervous. "Hey," Aiden said when she opened the door. She looked better than when he saw her earlier in the day. She had her arm out of the sling and had a smile on her face. "Don't you look sharp, come on in I'm almost ready."
"Typical women, never ready," Flack laughed sitting down on the couch.
"I just need a sweater, give me a break." Aiden called out from her bedroom. A minute later she emerged ready to go in a leather skirt and a red sweater. "See, ready."
"Wow," Flack eyes grew wide as he looked at Aiden.
"You need a minute to pick your jaw off the floor Flack?"
"I'm good, lets go." Flack offered her arm with a smile.
"Lets," Aiden replied taking the offered arm.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"So how did you find this place?" Aiden asked as Flack pulled her chair out for her.
"It's a favourite of my cousin Nadia she told me that if I ever got a girl in my company I should take her here and try not to screw it up," Flack said sitting himself down on the opposite side of the table.
"Are you two close?"
"We used to be when she lived in the city."
"But?" Aiden asked feeling like there was more to the story then Flack was letting on.
"But we haven't talked since she left. She moved to Vancouver I get a letter from her about twice a year. Last I heard from her she named her first kid Donny so I guess she doesn't hate me as much as I think. You close with any of your family?"
"Not particularly." Aiden smiled and looked at the menu. "Any suggestions on what to order? Keep in mind I have to eat it with one hand."
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"That was wonderful," Aiden smiled as she and Flack walked back to her apartment. "It really did the trick."
"You need a little fun once and a while. No offence to Mac but you can't be the job 24/7, every once in a while you need some fun." Flack noticed half way through dinner that Aiden was getting tired and even now it was obvious that she was tiring. "You doing okay? I can hail a cab."
"I live two blocks away, I'll make it."
"Okay," Flack wrapped his arm around Aiden and kept a close eye on her. "I'm glad you had a good time." Flack said when they finally reached the front steps of Aiden's apartment building.
"Ah Flack I need help getting up the stairs." Aiden bit down on her lower lip she knew that there was no way she would make it on her own.
"Not a problem." Flack said helping her through the door. It took them twenty minutes to get to the third floor once they got there it was obvious to Flack that Aiden wasn't going to make it up the last flight. "Here." Flack put one hand behind her back and the other under her knees and lifted her to the door of her apartment.
"Thanks Flack," Aiden said unlocking her door. "For everything."
Flack smiled as Aiden opened the door and pulled him in using her good arm.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAiden woke up when Flack got up. "Hey, sorry go back to sleep," he whispered. "I got to go to work." Flack walked over to the chair and grabbed his clothes off of it. Aiden sat up pulling the sheets with her to cover herself up. She smiled as she watched Flack get dressed up. When he finished he kissed her on the forehead and let himself out. Aiden lay back down and fell back asleep.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"Hey Stella I got you a good one," Flack said pointing to the crime scene. "No body but a tone of shell casings and a lot of blood. So you've got your work cut out for you."
"Thanks Flack." Stella said looking around the scene and then back towards him. Something caught her eye and she gave Flack a peculiar look.
"What?" Flack asked in an annoyed tone. "Stella what is with the look?"
"You were wearing those clothes last night when you left the office," Stella laughed. "Who is the girl?"
"Now why would you assume I got a girl. I just haven't got to my laundry in a while."
"Don't lie to me Flack I'm an investigator. Is she nice?"
"Deal with your crime scene I've got to do," Flack said walking away in anger he didn't even notice Danny coming in his direction and he bumped right into him. "Watch it Messer!"
"What is up with him?" Danny asked Stella setting his kit down on the ground.
"I caught him in a walk of shame."
"Walk of shame?" Danny questioned.
"He was wearing the same clothes as yesterday. He won't tell me who the girl was but he spent the night somewhere away from his apartment."
"He took Aiden out for dinner…You don't think…" Danny looked at Stella with wide eyes. "Oh man! I can't believe that!"
"He got pretty defensive when I asked him about it. And I wouldn't put it past him."
