Good Evening one and all! I knoooow I promised to have this posted yesterday but my job decided to invade my life, as if five days a week are not enough, might aswell work all seven! lol!

anywaaaay, massive thank you to all who have read so far, and a special thank you to deenikn8 for reminding me to get a wriggle on and post! ;) There was a slight delay thanks to an epic proof read which unfortunately resulted in this chapter becoming shorter, of all things! I'd unwittingly included some content I didn't want to reveal yet! (oo watch this space)

Anyhoo, enjoy, review, make my day!

Season 7 Episode 15 - Silent Partner: part 2.

"Oh come on!"

Sharon tried to hide her smile as she walked up behind Andy. His temper was something that preceded him almost everywhere he went, apprently the building's elevator system was currently in receipt of it.

She had almost reached him when he banged his fist against the button's on the wall, simultaneously making her jump and laugh at the same time.

"Going my way Lieutenant?"

Andy knew it was her the moment he heard the laughter behind him though he didn't turn around, the scent of her perfume reached his senses and he felt some of his impatience dissipate.

"Not any time soon Captain, if this damn elevator has any say in it!"

"You could try the stairs." Sharon gestured to the door to their left, regretting her words the moment she saw the look in his eyes.

"Only if you come with me Captain, all those secluded dark corners." Andy grinned, slipping a toothpick into the corner of his mouth.

"Rule number 3 Lieuetenant." Sharon warned in her best Captain Raydor tone, though he didn't miss the flash in her eyes.

"Permission to move to make rule number 3 null and void in times of severe emotional distress?"

"Emotional distress?" Sharon turned her head to look at him, if they weren't in the foyer she'd be sorely tempted to kiss him senseless but she wouldn't let him know that. It was exactly what he wanted no doubt. "Anger at the elevator system is considered emotional distress?"

"Yes Captain."

"Permission denied." She quipped one eyebrow, thankful that the elevator chose to arrive at that precise moment, even more thankful when four other officers approached to ride with them. There was no telling what he might try, and what she might let him do in a secluded elevator car.

"Which floor Captain Raydor?" A young officer asked as he stepped on last, noting that most of the other occupants had already selected their destination.

"Major Crimes please." Sharon replied kindly, hearing Andy shuffle behind her.

"Going my way Captain." He smiled, even though she had her back to him he could almost sense the eye roll.

Sharon had just folded her arms, intent on not thinking about the fact that knowing Andy Flynn, he was more than likely checking out her ass right now, when her phone beeped in her hand.

She sighed, thankful for the distraction, until she saw his name flash across the screen.

"Purples a damn good colour on you. x"

Andy battled not to laugh, especially when she physically squirmed on the spot, no doubt if they'd been alone she'd probably have punched him. Then again if they'd been alone he probably would have kissed her by now.

Thanfully a second later they reached their floor, Andy was even more thankful they were alone when they exited the elevator.

"Purple?" Sharon asked quietly as they walked side by side, a slower pace than was necessary though neither realised they were doing it.

"It's a good colour, especially on you." Andy turned to look at her, flashing her a trademark wink. "What brings you up here anyway?"

"Chief Pope requested my presence in Chief Johnson's office, I have some idea why."

"But you're not going to tell me?"

"If you start knowing more than everyone else Lieutenant, people will talk."

Andy simply smiled in return as they reached the door to the squad room, taking the toothpick out of his mouth long enough to open the door for her.

"Thank you."

"Any time Captain."

"Ah Flynn, just the guy!" Provenza looked up when his partner walked by, the old man looked suspiciously busy for a change. "Our new friend Mr Marvin Evans is on his way in, would you be kind enough to meet him downstairs, escort him up when he gets here?"

Andy sighed, glaring at his partner as he turned on his heels, flashing one last look at Sharon as he walked past.

"Good luck with the elevator Lieutenant."

He waved over his shoulder as he left the squad room just as soon as he'd walked in. Andy didn't know what it was about today, maybe he was just in a bad mood.

There was one thing he could think of that would cheer him up. If only he could get Sharon to go for it. She'd never agree to what he was thinking of at this precise moment, but tonight was definatly an option.

With a heavy sigh, he reached out and pressed the button for the elevator, grumbling under his breath when he felt his cell vibrate in his chest pocket.

His bad mood began to wane a little when he read the contents of the text,

"You like purple so much, wait til you see what's underneath. xx"

"You know, it's easy to predcit that you'd be the last one here."

Andy leant against the door to her office. It had been a long day, working as many angles of the case as possible aswell as navigating the political land mine that was the Turrell Baylor/Goldman fiasco.

Sharon looked up at the sound of his voice, she'd been so caught up in her work today that she'd barely noticed the time, only now remembering the number of half hearted goodbyes she'd waved off to her team in the last couple of hours.

"I'm a very busy woman Lieutenant." Sharon raised one eyebrow, offering a ghost of a smile as she shuffled the papers on her desk.

"Still working the snitch angle?"

"Goldman's getting his info somehow."

"You know who it is yet?"

"I have a few ideas."

"Hope I'm not one of them." Andy smirked, pushing himself up from the doorway and finally walked into the room.

"I can neither confirm nor deny." Sharon sat back in her chair, watching him through narrowed eyes as he moved about her office. "What brings you down here anyway?"

"I was hoping to drag you away from that desk." Andy replied matter of factly, picking up one of her framed awards for closer assessment.

"What did you have in mind?" She asked, spinning her chair to follow his movements.

Andy put down the frame and looked at her. "I honestly thought it would be much harder than that."

"I haven't agreed yet."

"True." He nodded, slipping his hands in his pockets he leant against the drawers, "So here it is, what do you say we get out of here, pick up some thai food, and have supper in bed?"

"Whose bed?"

"Your's or mine I don't mind."

Sharon sighed dramatically and tossed her pen onto her desk. "You're in luck Lieutenant, I'm starved."

"Woman you kill me!" Andy clutched a hand to his chest dramatically, smiling when she laughed heartily.

"Not yet!"

"Tell me more about this purple thing?"

Sharon rolled her eyes and stood up from the chair. "No, I'm not telling you anything." She picked up her purse and headed for the door. "But I'll show you if you'd like."

She reached the doorway, Andy was standing within reach of her. Sharon's cocky teasing was more than he could take.

The little squeal she made when he grabbed her waist only spurred him on further. Before she had time to think she was pushed up against the wall of her office, his hands on her waist and his lips on her's.

For a moment she resisted, but the pull of his kiss was just too alluring. She moaned into his mouth, her fingertips digging into his arms for a long moment, until she finally regained the strength to push him away.

"Rule number 3 violation." Sharon whispered softly, her breathing uneven.

"So sue me." He whispered, his hand brushing her hair back from her face.

"No, but you do incur a thirty minute penalty."

Andy knitted his eyebrows as she smiled, that conspiratorial Captain Raydor smirk.

"What does that mean?"

"It means, " She reached behind him to switch off the light, "that you can't follow me home for a full thirty minutes! Get back to your desk Lieutenant!"

"Oh no fair!" Andy called out after her as she led the path through her deserted department.

"You broke the rules!"

Andy sighed and shoved his hands in his pockets, his inner child very much sulking right now. But still, surely she was worth it.
