any spelling mistakes are purely mine...i haven't slept last night.

disclaimer: I made up I-28 and Jenkins' Car Lot, plus the man in the yellow hat, Slim Jim. Not advertising any car brands either...


They drove to a car dealership off I-28. It was a huge lot with brand new and used cars. They were met by a tall man in a yellow hat who greeted them with a southern drawl.

"Good morning, ladies! Welcome to Jenkins' Car Lot. I'm Jimmy Jenkins, but y'all can call me Slim Jim. Y'all doin' good?" He let out a flashy grin and extended his hands to the girls.

Catherine and Sara looked at each other and slowly shook his hands. "We're good." Sara replied.

He put his hands on his waist and looked at each woman with a huge smile, "now, what can I do for you, lovely ladies, this mornin'?"

Catherine took a deep breath, "Ummm, looking for a car..."

"...and we're planning to trading in that little baby over there." Sara added pointing to Catherine's red car.

The man in in the yellow hat with a plastered smile nodded his head, "uh-ha, good, good. Anything in particular?"

Catherine smiled sweetly, "nothing in particular yet. We'll look around, if that would be okay, uh, Mr. Jenkins."

"Slim Jim. Call me Slim Jim." The man in the yellow had looked at Catherine graciously, "well, to the right are brand new cars, SUV's, vans and all." He pointed to the left, "and there are the certified used cars, SUV's, vans, trucks, sports cars, you name it. They're all in great condition. Y'all can test drive any one of 'em if ya like."

"Thank you, Slim Jim. We might do that." Sara smiles at the man. She looks at her partner, "Catherine?"

"We'll look around." Catherine unconsciously extends her hand to Sara who interlocks their fingers together. This earned a huge smile from the man in the yellow hat.

"You two look cute together. Might I suggest an SUV?"

Catherine looks at him curiously, "Why?" Sara cocks an eyebrow up.

"Well, they're practical. Has more space. So..." he claps his hands in front of him, "I'll let y'all shop around."

"Ummm, thanks." Catherine murmured.

They walked to the used car section. One by one they peered in the cars, looked at the stickers attached.

"So, baby, what in particular are you looking for?" Sara rubs Catherine's shoulder when they were out of sight from the man in the yellow hat.

"Ahh, that feels good...I don't know, Sara. You know more about cars that I do. I most likely will go for the body first."

"Like you went for my body?" Sara purrs in her ear.

She turns around and pulls Sara closer, "no, you silly, sexy woman! Honestly, help me out here. I want something that'll last for awhile. I do need something practical and more space. Lindsey has all these projects and after school activities that the trunk sometimes gets too full."

"Practical, convenient, easy, smooth, sleek, sexy, hot... hmmm..." Sara caresses Catherine's neck, leaning close.

Catherine takes a step back, "God, Sara! Everywhere we go you can turn a situation into something horny!"

Sara laughs, "I honestly cannot get enough of you, baby. I just want to touch you, kiss you, make love to you, love you. Can't blame me for you being so hot, can you?"

"Okay, I promise... later, baby." Catherine pulls sara close, "you won't regret the wait."

Sara grins, "Ohhh... love it!"

---oOo---

"Catherine, how about this one?" Sara looks a black SUV. " It's loaded..."

Catherine turns around, "Hmmm, Vienna. Don't like the name. Reminds me of sausage."

Sara sighs, "Honey, It's just the brand name. Has nothing to do with the sausage."

"Well, I want something that I can call my baby. Ride with ease, you know. something cute."

Sara starts to have that look in her eyes, "You can ride me with ease, baby..."

"Honey? Wait." Catherine holds up her hand to the brunette. "All in good time, baby."

Sara smirks and winks at her.

They walk around some more, looking at different types of vehicles.

"I want something this time that'll suit me. You know like you, you got that black sleek one, a hybrid. You're into that save the earth stuff, conserve this and that. So it suits you. Warrick has a sports car, to pick up chicks, Nicky has a truck, like most Texans, even though he has absolutely nothing to load in the back. What was he thinking, this is Vegas. Greg has that little minica where he just zooms everywhere, part of his post punk look with all the psychedelic colors in it. His babe magnet as he calls it. I want something that's say 'Catherine's."

"So you want a van..." Sara grins at her.

Catherine crosses her arms across her chest, "Aw, shut up. You won't get lucky if you keep on."

Sara reads the sticker another SUV, "Look! Look at this! Check the fuel injection! Has power lock windows, security system, keyless remote, GPS, seats seven. Wow! Look at its four cylinder engine, V8. Check it's shocks. Ohh... four wheel disc, it's automatic, this baby tiger is loaded with ...!"

"Blah, blah, blah..." Catherine rolls her eyes up in boredom, "talk to me in english."

"This looks good. We'll test drive this one. See how smooth she goes." Sara says excitedly.

"Wow, last time you got all excited was when I was straddling you. It seems being surrounded by engines of all sort turns you on."

"The louder the better, baby. The louder the better." Sara says beaming.

"I never realized that buying cars is like sex. Way hot and kinky. Yeah, let's test drive this one."

Sara takes Catherine's hand and drags her as they walk to the office. The man in the yellow hat was seated behind his desk. He stood up when the ladies approached him, "find anything, y'all like?"

"Yes," Sara replies, "we'd like to test drive that dark blue, two toned SUV, with the rack on top." She points to where the vehicle is.

"Ahhh, excellent choice, that little darlin' purrs, you'll love driving her that you don't want to get out." He opens his drawer and fishes out the key. "I'll have one of my boys drive it up front. Y'all can wait for..."

Sara interrupts him."That's okay, I'll do it." Sara snatches the key from him and walks out of the door. The man in the yellow hat stands there speechless.

Catherine apologizes, "I'm sorry, she gets like this around cars. Engines excites her, it just gets her going. It's like being lost in a candy store. Don't ask." She leaves her ID with him and shakes her head as she goes out the door.

Sara calls from the SUV, "what's taking you so long? This little baby is ready to go. So smooth!"

Catherine takes a deep breath, "oh, boy." Looks at Sara who was grinning ear to ear.

"Can I drive, hon?" Sara takes off her sunglasses and looks pleadingly at her.

"Go ahead, Sara." She smiles as she gets in the passenger's side. "Have fun with it."

"Yes!" Sara grins, she puts the car in gear and out of the parking lot they went.

---oOo---

"Catherine, this baby purrs."

The older CSI rolls her eyes up, "so it runs, does it run good?"

Sara shoots a look at her, "honey, I told you, she purrs like a kitten."

"So in car lingo, it's a good thing then?" Catherine opens the glove compartment, checking for anything.

"Yes, it's a very good thing. I wanna see what else this baby can do. I'll look in the engine and check it out when we stop." Sara exits the highway and drives off a dirt road.

"Where are we going?" Catherine presses a button and her window rolls down, she looks at the scenery lazily.

"I'm testing her on dirt road, how well she can go." Sara's window goes down after she presses something on the steering wheel, "excellent." She says under her breath.

She presses another button on the steering wheel then the car was filled with soft music. Sara turns the volume up. Catherine covers her ears and shouts, "Sara! That's too loud!"

Sara raises her voive over the music, "wanted to see if the bass is good!"

"Hell, the car is vibrating!!" Catherine screams back.

Sara turns the volume down, "sound is good, equalizer's set now."

"I don't turn the volume that loud..."

"I was just checking, babe. You got to test stuff out before buying." Sara reasoned out.

"Okay, you're the car guru. You know what's best, baby." Catherine lightly rubs Sara's thigh.

Sara cocks an eyebrow as she grins back at Catherine, "do you want me to go fast?"

"Baby," Catherine looks at her teasingly, "I'd rather have you go slow at first then accelerate, if you know what I mean."

Sara bearing a mischevious look on her face slows the vehicle and parks under a tree. "Let's see what else this big baby can do." She leans slowly towards Catherine.

"Are you talking about you or this vehicle?" Catherine continues to run her hand of Sara's thighs.

"Both." Sara pulls her closer and kisses her.
