Summary: That being
said, he also knew when to pretend not to see a thing.
Captain James Deakins didn't get to be Captain of the major Case Squad just because he knew how to kiss a little ass. He got there because he worked his ass off and paid close attention to what was going on around him. That being said, he also knew when to pretend not to see a thing.
He never saw anything when it came to his best pair of detectives. All he saw was a great pair of detectives, closing cases and stopping criminals and that's what he told his superiors when the first rumors of something more going on between his best pair.
He kept telling them even after he noticed those little touches that had originally been so platonic became intimate. He kept telling them that when he observed a small ceremony presided over by a sympathetic judge and signed his name as a witness. A clerk, friends with Carver, "lost" the paperwork.
And now, he sat in a Starbucks across the table from the man who would replace him and told him the exact same thing.
