A/N: I know I said I'd try to get this up by last week but, in my defense, that was a 'hopefully promise'. Those of you who aren't Annica, should understand that that usually means that I haven't written the chapter yet, and it's more then a matter of posting, posting it. Also, if you want me to update faster, then take it up with my teachers, who don't seem to be able to crasp the concept of having to posts fics. Ah well, here is the next chapter. And because I probably didn't mention it last time, I don't own anyone. Is there anyone who didn't understand that? Good. Now I shut up.
LSLSLSLSLSLSLSLSLSLSLSLSLSLSLSLSLSLSLSLSLSLSLSLSLSLSLSLSLSStillman sighed.
"Lil you need one of us to stay with you. If this guy is after you, then who's to say he won't come back. I want one of us to stay with you."
"Boss, if he'd wanted me to kill me he could have done so last night. I can handle myself. And this guy I've been dating said he'd stay with me."
"Lil, I'd feel a hell of a lot better if you'd let Valens stay with you. You do have a guest room right? I'd let you stay with me, but my daughter's staying with me right now." Lil had to stop herself from snickering.
"Boss I'm sure Scottie has better things to do then to play babysitter. And I hardly need anyone to babysit me.
"Lil, weither you or Scottie like it, he's staying with you. Or you will find your services unneeded tomorrow." Her jaw dropped.
"I hardly think that's fair. Do you?"
"Lil…Lil it's not going to kill you to let Scottie stay with you until we get this guy." She gave a slightly over-emphasised sigh.
"I guess you're right."
"Thank you."
"Bye boss."
"Bye Lil. I'll send Scottie over after work." Lil hung up, breaking into a huge grin. Well, if it's his idea, then…I guess I can deal.

Stillman sighed. "Scottie, can I talk to you?" Scottie shrugged, turning back around to face his boss.
"Sure. What is it boss?" He thought he had a fairly good idea what it was, but Stillman would ask too many questions if he knew that Lil had told Scottie first.
"Someone broke into Lil's house last night. He left a threatening note, but Lil is convinced that if he'd wanted to kill her he'd have done so, and she's perfectly safe."
"That sounds like Lil."
"Yeah. Listen Scottie I need you to stay with her. I know you two weren't on the best of terms a while ago, but I hope that…" Scottie cut him off.
"I think we're past that now boss. Of course I'll stay with her. On the condition that Lil agrees. I can't very well force her to do something she doesn't want to do."
"I've already talked to her about it. She was obviously a little reluctant, but I managed to convince her."
"You mean you threatened her." Stillman smirked at him.
"Well…" Scottie grinned back. "Thanks Scottie, take care of her."
Scottie nodded, but once he'd gotten into the elevator, he muttered, "Don't worry boss, if that guy thinks he's going any near Lil…" He headed straight to Lil's, knowing he had clothing there. When he knocked on her door, she called "Just a second," and when she opened it, he stood frozen.
"Lil, I…" he started. The look of pain on Lil's face stopped him. "I'm sorry," he continued, pulling her into a hug. "I'm sorry I reacted like that." She hugged him breathing in his scent.
"Last night… Last night was hell Scottie." He kissed the top of her head.
"I know." He pulled away, leaning down to kiss her. He caught her lips with his, and when they pulled away, he smiled. "Can we forget about yesterday?" She whimpered and he laughed.
"So what movie are we watching tonight?" she asked, it her way telling him that all was forgiven. Scottie had other plans.
"It seems to me, I owe someone a nice dinner. Where are we going?" She smiled.
"Actually there's this nice little Chinese restaurant that I've been meaning for us to try out. You like Chinese?"
"I like anything you want me to like mademoiselle," he informed her, oozing slightly mocking charm. She laughed.
"Some how the Hispanic look doesn't work with the fake French accent," Lil teased. He scuffed.
"You wound me Rush," he said, feigning (quite weakly) hurt. She smiled.
"Well if you and your fragile ego want to come in, I'll slip into something more suitable for going out." It was now that he realized she was in jeans and one of his t-shirts. He laughed.
"You little thief." It was her turn to feign hurt.
"Thief?"
"Thief. You know what I do to thieves?" Her eyes widened.
"Oh no," she begged. He nodded.
"Oh yeah." She squealed as Scottie came after her, tickling her sides.
"Scottie! Please!" she begged.
"Say it Rush."
"No."
"Say it." She held out for a little longer while before finally giving in.
"Jeffries is Elvis."
"Yes, he is," Scottie agreed, letting her go and laughing. She glared at him as he followed her to the bedroom, where she changed, and they left. As they where driving to the restaurant, Scottie, who was driving, noticed a hunter green Taurus following them. If you think you're getting anywhere near her, then you're sorely mistaken asshole, he thought angrily. As Lil frowned at him, he vowed that he wouldn't let it ruin her evening, but that doesn't mean that he didn't notice when it parked across the street as they pulled into the restaurant parking lot.
LSLSLSLSLSLSLSLSLSLSLSLSLSLSLSLSLSLSLSLSLSLSLSLSLSLSLSLSLSOkay, that chapter was REALLY lame. I'm sorry. IHOPE I'll have the next chapter up this week, even if it means… well if it means skipping the CSI premire, that you're shot outa luck. But seriously I'll have it up. Oh and anyone get Laura's name? If you want to know (or if you really don't) then put it in a review and I'll tell you. For those of you trying to get it still ( which is probably no one), hint: anagram (minus the a, as mentioned).
