Ten minutes later they pulled into Abbies driveway and after he led her into the house like the true gentle man he was bred to be they walked into the apartment, Crane made his way into the bedroom where he began to remove his boots while Abbie stepped into the kitchen to check the time. She glanced up the clock that hung on the back wall, it read 10.47pm. She walked down the hall to her room and found Crane placing his boots with his other clothes.

" I think it's about quitting time " she said collapsing onto the bed " But first i'm gonna have a quick shower" she sat up and started taking off her shoes.

" Leftenant, would it be alright if i also had a ' shower'" he asked " After you of course" he clarified.

" Yeah sure i'll be two minutes" she said slipping off her shoe, jumping up from the bed and grabbing a few items of clothing. She walked into the bathroom and a second later popped her head around the corner " Don't do anything stupid" she joked before shutting the door behind her. He chuckled taking off his coat and placing it with his other belongings. He took a seat on the bed and sat quietly listening to Abbie singing in the shower and realised quite ironically the song was about singing in the shower. He went over to his suit case and pulled out his sleeping attire which consisted solely of the flannel pants Abbie had gotten him. He sat back down on the bed folding and unfolding the pants until Abbie appeared from the bathroom. " All yours" She said walking over to her drawers and pulling out a pair of socks. He walked into the bathroom and prepared to take a shower, since staying with Abbie she had insisted that he wear a ' shower cap' whilst showering so he didn't get his hair wet. He struggled for a while trying to get all his hair into the strange contraption, hanging his head upside down and to the side before he finally gave up. " I can't do any of this " he muttered under his breath but because he was in a bathroom it echoed.

" What?" she asked from the bed where she had just slipped her socks on.

" It would seem i am in need of your assistance" he called from where he stood.

" Alright i'm coming" she said getting up from the bed and making her way into the bathroom " I'm coming in" she said waiting a few seconds before walking in. She walked in and found him shirtless hanging his head upside down trying to get the shower cap on. She bursted out laughing making her way over to where he stood. " Okay" she said trying to stop laughing " Kneel down" she instructed still not being able to cease her laughter, within seconds she had the shower cap on his head with all his hair inside.

" Thank you Leftenant" he said standing up straight.

" No problem, you got this" she asked pointing towards the shower.

" I do .. 'got this'" she said imitating her modern term which only had her laugh harder.

After he had finished in the shower and gotten dressed he emerged from the bathroom to find Abbie sitting on the bed phone in hand, he stood awkwardly not sure whether he should lay on the bed like she had said last night or on the mattress so he cleared his throat to make his presence known.

She heard him clear his throat so she put her phone down on the bedside table and turned over to face him. He was standing awkwardly and his fingers were twitching which was a tell he was unsure of where he should sleep. She moved over and threw the covers back making it clear that he should sleep on the bed, immediately he took a step forward and layed down next to her. For a while they lay in silence neither making a sound.

" Leftenant?" he asked breaking the silence. She looked over to him waiting for him to continue. " What does detective Morales want from you?" he asked.

" Probably to get back together" she said.

" And that is why you told him you and i were living together?" he asked.

" Yeah, that and the fact that we are pretty much living together" she said " Thats okay with you isn't it? you know people knowing that we are living together?" she asked, it wasn't until then that she had even thought how his eighteenth century mind would react to her telling people they were living together.

" Of course" he said. They both went quite seemingly not knowing what to say.

" We should get some sleep, gotta get up early tomorrow" she said yawning and moving closer, placing her head on his chest not bothering to ask this time because she already knew what his answer would be.

" Indeed we do" he agreed yawning himself as he put his arm around her waist and placing his hand atop hers intwining their fingers and again she got that that feeling of security she only got with him. He layed eyes closed with her by his side and couldn't help but think that that was how things were suppose to be, that maybe everything they had done and everything that had happened had been leading up to now, to this. That's when he heard it, footsteps in the hall out side the door, at first he wasn't alarm thinking it was just Jenny after all she lived here too but as he listened he realised they were to heavy to belong to Jenny. He opened his eyes not moving except to pull Abbie closer to him when the door opened and a figure stood in it the light portraying it's owner.

BLOODY HELL, Morales.
