Part 11

Monday has arrived and production for Malibu Shores is back up after a week of unsuccessfully flushing out the unsub. Needless to say the police department thought they would never hear the end of it from the studio executives.

Lila and Maggie make their way towards the set. One of Lila's co-stars, who is already at the set, comments when she sees the two of them. "I was starting to miss you. Welcome back Lila."

"Thanks Elisha," Lila replies to her brunette co-star.

"How was the whole witness protection program?" Elisha asks.

"Let's not talk about it," she answers. Elisha smiles, amused at the reply.

It is business as usual again; except for one small change. Like last week, the BAU team keeps an eye on Lila as their search for her stalker continues. Unlike last week, one of the members of the team's relationship between herself and the actress has evolved drastically. That team member is also paying more attention to the production assistant as well. Fortunately for her, it doesn't appear that Derek or Elle, the other two agents staying on set, pay enough attention to their press liaison to notice that there is something going on between her and the production assistant; for once, it looks like being the neglected member of the team has its advantages.

During a break, Elisha approaches Jennifer in a calm manner. "Everyone may be too busy with other things to notice, but I can tell what's happening between you two."

"Notice what's happening between me and who?" Jennifer asks, curious.

"You and Maggie," she answers.

"Maggie and I are friends," the agent responds. "What's your name again? I don't think I ever got it."

The brunette actress smiles, "My name is Elisha. I can tell you two are more than just friends. You're quite easy on the eyes I got to say."

Jennifer gets an "Oh my God" moment. Did the actress standing across from her somehow figure out about her and Maggie? If she did, this isn't the location she wants to carry on the conversation. Elisha just stares at the blonde agent for a moment. "Come on. You know what I'm talking about. You and Maggie..."

Before she can finish that sentence, Jennifer moves her hand over the actress's mouth. She then leads the actress to the nearest hallway. Once there, she presses Elisha's back against the wall. The place looks secluded, but she looks around to be certain; there doesn't appear to be anyone else.

"Sorry about that. Just wanted to continue on this conversation somewhere more private," Jennifer tells her politely. "What were you about to say?" She removes her hand.

"I was about to ask if you and Maggie are dating," Elisha answers.

The blonde covers the actress's mouth again. "I thought you were going to say that. Look Elisha, if word gets out about this, some people are going to get the wrong impression. Then rumours are going to spread, and I don't want my colleagues to think I'm going to be a liability. So I'm asking if you can keep this to yourself for now; just until the FBI is no longer working Lila's case. Is that alright with you?"

Elisha nods. Jennifer takes her hand off the actress's mouth again. "So that means you two really are dating?" questions the brunette.

Jennifer answers that with a nod and small smile. "I think you two make a cute couple," Elisha compliments.

"Thanks. I'm curious, how did you know we were dating and not simply just friends," wonders the blonde.

"Maggie and I use to date," Elisha answers. "I'm familiar with how she acts with a girlfriend as opposed to just a friend."

It's early in the evening, around 6:30 pm when the three blondes get back home after filming.

Lila's pickup truck and Maggie's car pull up in front of Lila's home. The two women, along with Jennifer, who was riding with Lila, step out of the vehicles.

"So it's just you staying with me for today?" Lila asks as she flips to the house keys on her key chain.

"That's right," Jennifer confirms.

"Good. About time they gave you a turn," Lila remarks.

She opens the door and they stroll right on in. Lila takes a seat on the living room bench and begins undoing her shoes.

"Later tonight I'm thinking about getting some movies from the video store, anything you two have in mind?" Maggie asks as they set their things down.

The other two blondes think about it. "If you and JJ want to grab a lesbian film, I wouldn't mind watching it with you guys," Lila jokes.

Jennifer smiles at the remark. "I prefer not to," Maggie responds. "A lot of those movies end with the couple breaking up at the end either by getting killed or choosing not to continue with the relationship."

That comment sucked the humour out of Lila, "Yeah that actually would be pretty depressing to watch."

"Maybe all three of us should go then," suggests Jennifer.

Lila nods, "I don't have a problem with that. And even if there aren't many positive gay films, at least you two would be spending the night together. So there's at least one positive homosexual relationship for the day."

The next morning arrives. Jennifer and Maggie are sleeping together in Lila's guest bedroom; naked underneath the sheets. Their slumber is broken by the loud buzzing of an alarm clock. Maggie moves to the end of the bed, reaches for the clock on the counter and turns the thing off. She lets out a moan and rubs her eyes, then slides out of the bed still covered by the sheets. The blonde snags her undergarments off the floor; slipping on her panties then hooking back on her bra. She stretches for a bit to wake herself up.

"The hardest thing about mornings is trying to get out of bed," Jennifer says as she's trying to force herself up. She turns her head to the side and remarks at Maggie, "Though seeing you stretch out half naked is a good sight to wake up to." Maggie gives her lover a sweet smile.

A while later all three women are out of bed, cleaned and clothed. Jennifer's cell phone goes off, "Hello? Yeah... sure I can do that. Will I still be watching over Lila later on? Okay then... see ya soon." She hangs up the phone.

"Sorry I won't be joining you two at the studio today. They want me over at the station to take calls," the agent tells them.

"What about when I get back home?" Lila wonders. "Are you still joining us later tonight or did they assign someone else?"

"I'm still assigned to you," Jennifer answers her. The blonde moves to the counter and begins to fill her thermal drink container with coffee from the coffee maker. "Precinct coffee being as terrible as it's portrayed on TV is no joke." Lila giggles at that remark as the agent finishes filling up her thermal.

The three of them exit the house and step onto the driveway. "You mind if I borrow your car for today, Maggie? I'll return it once I get back," asks Jennifer seeing that she didn't bring her own vehicle yesterday.

"Not at all," she answers. Maggie delves into her jean pocket and hands Jennifer her car keys.

"Thanks sweetie," Jennifer tells her before giving Maggie a quick smooch on the lips. "See you later tonight."

Maggie waves goodbye and they part ways; Jennifer taking Maggie's car, while the other two climb onboard Lila's pickup truck.

Afternoon in the police station and the place receives something they were hoping for, for days now, concerning the case: callers. Jennifer finds herself working behind a desk, answering the phone; she should be used to this treatment by now.

Another officer seated behind a desk just across from the blonde is on another line with a caller. "Uh-huh... and do you know what he looks like underneath that helmet?"

Jennifer finishes her call; she stares to the other officer beside her, "I just had a woman who says she thinks her ex is the stalker. How about you?"

The officer pulls the phone away from his face and looks at the agent, "I'm on the line with a teenager who says he thinks a masked supervillain is behind the killings."

Jennifer grins at the information then shrugs her shoulders. "Who knows, maybe he's thinking of a specific actor. Around here it's possible."

"Where were these guys the first week?" the officer wonders.

"Maybe Lila returning back to society triggered something?" Jennifer suggests.

"Yeah, like them remembering there is a murder case surrounding her," the officers remarks.

It's later in the day. Jennifer has finished her shift in the precinct, so she decides to head down to the studio sound stage for Lila's show.

Maggie is hanging around with Elisha off the set when the brunette spots the agent approaching the place.

She nudges Maggie on the arm, "Hey, look who it is!"

Maggie turns her head and smiles at the sight of her lover.

The agent approaches the two of them. "So you're finished at the precinct?" Maggie assumes.

"Yeah," Jennifer responds. "Heard my teammates were still here, so figured you guys must still have been filming."

Maggie's head set goes off. She speaks into her receiver, "I could get it... it'll take me about 10 minutes... I'm on my way." The production assistant turns off her head set, "See you tonight Jennifer." She walks off giving her lover a pleasant stare.

"Aw you two are cute," Elisha comments.
