I'm glad I finally got back to this story. I'm getting better at this. Yay! Reviews are very much enjoyed, but I need a little help figuring out this PM thing! Thank you everyone!

His mouth was agape. Cat got his tongue? He couldn't anything out. Words just said in his mind and not out loud. Provenza didn't know what to say for the first time. He couldn't believe what he was just told. It felt like he was the main character in a scary movie; the one that is in the middle of everything.

Flynn stood there wondering why the old man hadn't put his two cents in yet. Seeing that he was at loss of words Andy began, "You okay? You look like a train hit you going three hundred miles per hour."

He didn't reply. Andy knew now that something was wrong. Usually his partner would throw back a smart ass comment, but he didn't this time. Flynn stepped forward, Louie stepped back. He closed his lips together tightly. Shaking his head, he turned on his heels and headed for the door to leave. Andy walked after him and said, "What's wrong with you? Got nothing to say?"

Provenza stopped in his tracks, and slowly turned biting and grinding down hard on his teeth. "Do you even have to ask 'what's wrong'? Listen back to what you had just told me a minute ago. How would you respond if I said that? You know Flynn I thought you were dumb from time to time, but now I've realized you're just stupid!"

"Did you ever hear the last part of what I said?"

"Do you think it would have made a difference-"

"I said, 'we had…' past tense. We ended things." Flynn put his hands in his pocket. Knowing if he continued his friend might see through his lies.

Louie eyed at him for a minute then grinned and spoke again in a lighter voice. "We? HA!"

Flynn was taken back a little. A little frustrated now, Andy set his story straight. "Yes, we! We decided it was best if we didn't knowing it would hurt our careers-"

The longtime partner interrupted with a huff "Hers or yours?"

Their conversation died down and got quiet. Andy never thought of that. Without Flynn saying another word, Provenza walked out. He stood there deep in his own thought. Damn that Provenza! Why did he have to say that? He's right though. Was it ended to save her job as head of Major Crimes or to save my respect from the entire LAPD? This was not something he needed to talk about alone. Quickly, he pulled out his phone and began texting. Knowing he and the rest of the squad were leaving for the day in thirty minutes, he asked Sharon for time to talk with her alone.

Captain Raydor was about to open her office door to tell Rusty they were leaving soon when her phone started to buzz frantically. She scurried to find it under the clutter on her desk. When she found it, the message was from a person she thought would be the last person to want to talk to her.

Lt. Flynn: Captain, I was wondering if you and I could talk for a minute at your place since we'll be leaving soon. It's very important.

Looking at the clock it read twelve past five. Eighteen minutes more and we can leave. Rusty's going to meet up with his Chemistry partner to study for a test later. I don't see why not.

She typed a few words back in agreement then started to gather her things.

Sharon peeked outside her office door and saw Rusty. "Hey! Go ahead and wrap it up we'll be leaving in five minutes."

He nodded and smiled in acknowledgement. She smiled back and turned on her heals to get her purse, jacket, and keys then it was time to finally go home.

Ten minutes after Rusty left to go to his friend's house, Flynn rang the doorbell. Sharon was sitting on the couch too occupied with a book that she didn't even hear him. She was startled when he shouted, "Hey Sharon, it's me, Andy! Open up!" Captain Raydor hopped up and set the book on the coffee table next to her.

Sharon moved rapidly to the door, so he would stop yelling fearing it might irritate the people close by. She opened the door and immediately turned on the full Raydor glare. "Yes." She didn't feel comfortable with him being there. Him being in her home; it was a foreign feeling.

Andy walked in on his on, and began bombarding her with questions. "What happened?"

She was baffled at such outburst. "What do you mean?"

"Between us."

"Well, I started to work in the same division as you, and I could date a subordinate without getting us both fired."

"Don't you mean you fired?"

"Excuse me?"

"You heard me correctly. You broke it off to benefit your job."

"This might come surprising to you, Andy but I care about other people than myself." She stopped to give in a second to calm down. "I care about the fact that you are a well decorated officer and I wouldn't want that dissolved over a silly little affair, that didn't mean a thing." After she finished, she realized that she said it all wrong. And it came out in a different way than she wanted it to. "I didn't mean it like that."

He was shocked that she would have said such a thing. It hurt a little to know that she didn't feel the same way as him. Andy liked her a lot. He liked almost everything about her. She was beautiful and smart. She had a heart of gold that no one ever saw. Sharon knew just what to do in any given situation. He hated the fact that she got under his skin. "It didn't mean a thing to you…at all?"

Sharon didn't know what to say. Her heart was racing. It came out all wrong. She never wanted to leave him. The day she left him, god knew she debated and weighed the good outcomes of letting whatever was going on between them continue. She didn't know what to say with digging herself a deeper hole. She was caving. Nothing could get worse than the situation she was already in.

Raydor bounced up on her tip toes, and kissed him. Andy accepted it. He rested his arms on her lower back; connecting his fingers there. She pulled her arms up to wrap around his neck. As they deepened the kiss she arched her back and fitted him perfectly.

Flynn stopped it after a good minute or two. They caught up their breath. He looked down at her with a sideways grin; mischievously. She knew he was up to something. She smirked back at him, "What?"

Andy started to speak then stopped as if changing his sentence. "To make this proper, Shouldn't we go on a date?"

"I do believe we should." She followed in the same tone.

"Well then, Captain Raydor will you go on a date with me this Friday night."

"Um…I'll have to check my schedule first." He could hear the sarcastic tone in her voice but knew she would. Andy bent down and brushed his lips against hers. That one was just as passionate and deep as the last, except it was cut short.

"Oh my god! She can go anywhere with you but please for the love of all things holy don't ever do that again. My eyes just might burn."

They both laughed while Rusty continued past them to the fridge. He mumbled something under his breath about old people love, but Sharon let it slide this time.
