As soon as we walked outside I said, "I'll meet you guys there."

"Where are you going?" Danny asked, giving me an odd look.

"I'm going to work. Although since I know I'm gonna have to have a nice long talk with you two, I'm taking my bike. This way, I don't have to tell ya anything till we get to work." I didn't even wait for a reply, just headed over to where I'd parked my bike.

As usual, I got to the precinct building before Jake and Danny did. One of the many benefits of owning a motocycle.

I smiled to myself as they walked into the office. I had already gotten their coffee and was working on what little paperwork we had left from the day before.

Danny sat down across from me and immediatly started talking.

"So what was up with what I saw?" he asked.

I didn't even look at him. "Depends, what'd you see?"

"Yeah, Danny. What did you see? I kind of arrived to late to catch anything." Jake stated.

Danny looked at Jake. "I saw those two kissing on the bed when I came out of the shower. Gotta admit, not something I thought I'd see from you, Pez." He said, turning back to me and leaning back in the chair.

Jake looked at me. "Damn, Pez. You must have really wanted that kiss to do it where either Danny or me could've seen it."

"Actually, if you must know, it was unexpected on my part." I said, still not looking up.

"Uh-huh. Looked pretty expected in my opinion." Danny stated.

I did look up now, tossing my head to get a strand of hair out of my face. "And why is that, oh wise one?" I asked, smiling.

He pretended to think about his answer and said, "Oh, probably because of the fact that you were both laying on the bed."

"Yeah, Pez. Why were you guys on the bed? And how did you get there?" Jake spoke up.

I glanced at him. "Like I'm really gonna tell you that."

He smiled. "Fine, I'll find out from Gabriel."

"He probably wouldn't tell you either." I stated, now feeling near as confident about that as I sounded.

I looked back at Danny when I heard him talking. "Hey, Gabriel. It's Danny. Quick question for you."

I lunged over the desk, grabbing for the phone. Danny used the advantage of his chair on being on wheels and slid out of my reach.

"Hold on, Gabe." He said. He held up the phone to me. "You want this?"

I was already coming at the desk, preparing to lunge at him again. "That would be nice." I practically growled.

"Come and get it." Danny said.

I reached for it again but he pulled it out of my reach. "Give me the damn phone, Danny."

"Not until you tell me what happened. Or until he tells me." Danny said, putting the phone back to his ear.

"Nothing, just Pez wanting to get the phone away from me." Danny said. I'm assuming Gabriel had asked what was going on.

"Anyway. About that question. Could you please inform me and Jake how you and Sara ended up on the bed kissing this morning?" Danny asked him, moving around the desk. He reached over and turned on the speaker phone before I could do anything to stop him.

"Why don't you get Sara to tell you?" Gabe asked.

"She won't tell. Trust me we've tried." Jake said.

"You tell them, Gabriel, and it will be the last thing you say." I said, glaring at Danny.

Gabe chuckled. "That's no way for a cute little plus toy to talk." He said. He was enjoying this way to much.

"Would you really like me to recall what happened last night when you were totally sloshed?" I asked Gabriel in my most angelic voice.

"Devil woman." He said.

"Damn straight." I said, grinning at Jake and Danny.

Danny reached over and turned off the speaker phone, returning it to a two person phone conversation.

"Yeah. Okay. Great. See you later." Was Danny's end of the remaining conversation before he hung up the phone.

"Well?" I asked, somewhat annoyed.

"Well what?" He asked.

"I told you he wouldn't tell you." I stated smugly.

Danny shrugged. "Oh well. I'll find out eventually. Get one of you drunk enough and ya might spill." He smiled.

I moved back to my chair, sitting down and pulling out another folder in the ever shrinking pile of paperwork.

"Like that is ever gonna happen." I said.

Jake and Danny both grabbed a folder and started working.

By noon we had finished every bit of paperwork on our desk and had started on our current case.

After we all went over the information in the file Dante came to the door. "Petzini, Woo, McCarty, in my office. Now." He said.

We walked into his office right behind him. He sat down in big leather chair.

"There's been another murder. Same M.O. as the serial killer we're after. Down in the warehouse district." He said.

We just nodded, heading out the door.

When we were on our way to the latest crime scene I told them what Vicky had told me earlier.

"Wow, Dante has a brother. Hard to believe there's more of him." Jake said.

Danny and I nodded our agreement.

I had the file on all the previous murders from across the country. I was looking for similarities in the victim's. Aside from all the vic's being Caucasion and fairly young there really wasn't much that was similar in the vic's.

I handed the file to Danny to look over.

We arrived at what looked to be a storage warehouse for furniture of all types.

The body was pretty obvious as you walked in, placed on a couch in the center of the warehouse.

There was blood all over the plastic covered couch. the couch was beige so the plastic covering was more then a good thing.

After examinig the body and the crime scene, finding nothing obviously helpful we walked outside. The stench of blood can get pretty overwhelming if you have to inhale it for to long.

"Notice anything?" Danny asked as soon as we hit fresh air.

"Nothing different I could see except for the obviously posed postition of the body." Jake said.

I nodded.

We spent a little over thirty minutes more at the crime scene, searching for clues and other things that could help in the investigation.

As soon as we got back to the precinct, I grabbed my helmet and keys and took off. It was after five and I was dead tired.

I called ahead, checking to see if Gabriel was there or if he was still at his apartment. When no one answered I called his apartment. He answered on the second ring.

"Talismaniac."

"Hey, Gabe." I said, suddenly unsure what to say.

"Hey, Sara. What's up?"

"You wanna come over for dinner? I think I might actually have some food in the fridge." I joked.

He laughed. "Sure. You on your way home now?"

"Yeah."

"Okay, I'll meet you there." He said.

"We'll see who gets there first." I said, hoping he'd catch the challenge.

"Oh, so it's a race now?" he asked, obviously smiling on the other end.

"But of course."

"Well, I guess there's only three words left to say." He stated simply.

"And those are?"

"Ready. Set. Go."

We both hung up at pretty much the same time. I took off out the door, running to my bike.
