Thanks to all for the reviews! They are like my House-candy… :] Next Chapter! Yayyy! I am thinking maybe 5 chapters in all? Y'all let me know how far you want this to go! So, there is a tid bit of a House and Castle reference in this chapter, and if more than one person can guess them both, I'll add an extra chapter just for laughs. :]

Dr. Kate Murphy walked into Megan Hunt's office, just in time to see the woman let out a tonsil-viewing yawn, and laughed, tossing a case file on the woman's desk with a smile on her face, a rare thing for the chief to have.

"Get much sleep last night Dr. Hunt?" Kate asked, as the other woman looked up at her with sleepy eyes. "Well, I slept ok, but I had quite a…startling dream, and after that I just couldn't seem to go back to sleep" Dr. Hunt replied, feeling another yawn coming up.

"Was it a good 'startling' dream, like erotic, or just a nightmare?" Kate asked, she was now curious, because it really took a great lack of sleep for Dr. Hunt to be yawning, and especially in front of her. "The first" Megan replied nonchalantly, now reading the information on her newest corpse the other doctor placed on her desk. She paid no attention to Kate now, who had now cocked an eyebrow in curiosity and interest, wondering who it was keeping Dr. Hunt up so late.

"Would you care to give further detail on this…erotically startling dream of yours Dr. Hunt?" Kate was now gripping the chair in front of Megan's desk with both hands, her attention fully on the other woman, hoping to crack into the mind of the great Dr. Megan Hunt.

Megan looked up at the other woman, her eyes falling first to the blonde's cleavage, and instantly moved her gaze to the woman's face. She looked Kate dead in the eye and with absolutely no emotion in her face, stated a blatant, "No. However…" changing the subject towards her new-found case.

Kate stood erect again, no longer interested, but kept her eyes on the other doctor, ready to answer any questions if necessary.

"Dr. Murphy, although I would like to still see the body, I believe I have already solved this case, and the butler did it. We'll be done by lunch today." After stating her brief sentence, Megan grabbed her coat and bag, smiled a confident smile at the stunned doctor standing before her and left her office, ready to go see a man about a corpse.

Kate watched as the red head walked out of her own office, leaving her standing there merely bemused, and quite confused as to how she came to the sudden conclusion so fast. She then decided to figure that out in her own office, and hit the lights on her way out of Megan's office.

When she left, Megan was only a few meters in front of her, stopping only briefly to ask Curtis about a test they had run on another case, and Kate noticed something about the other woman she hadn't really noticed before. Kate had noticed how slender the other woman was before, but not like this, how the bright colored skirt the woman wore accentuated her hips, buttocks, and thighs, how everything seemed to work well with the flaming red hair the woman wore down in waves much of the time, and Kate now wanted to see and feel how smooth the woman's skin really was, as she moved her hands up and down, caressing the woman's entire body…

Kate blinked a couple of times when she realized how badly she had been staring and drifting off into outer space, and blushed when she saw Curtis looking at her then saying something to Megan, causing her to glance at Kate as well. Kate quickly slipped into the break room, which had an almost direct connection to her office, and felt relieved when she saw she could distract herself with the last bit of coffee that was in the pot.

Kate began to pour herself some coffee, and nearly dropped the entire pot when she heard the voice of Dr. Megan Hunt suddenly cut through the quiet of the break room. "Kate, there has been a slight complication on a test I had Curtis run, so I am going to help him fix the problem, which could in fact take a few hours, so I was wrong. We'll be done with this case by dinner."

All Kate could do at the moment was nod in agreement, thankful the woman had not seen the amount of coffee she had just spilt all over her blouse, and was relieved once again when she heard the click of the other doctor's heels leaving the area. Kate then decided to nix the coffee all together, because what she needed now was a change of clothes, and a stiff drink. For another brief second, she thought about having drinks with Megan, what that would be like, and maybe she could learn more about this 'startling' dream Megan had had, and made a mental note to invite Megan for drinks, and find a different way to reprimand Megan for running those damn tests, as she walked into her office.

Glad she had kept an extra outfit at the office, Kate quickly changed clothes, hoping nobody would notice, (at least until the end of the day when she could go home) and fortunately for her, nobody noticed a thing all day long except for the one person who seemed to notice everything. Why was it she seemed to notice every single thing about her now, she wondered. Was this maybe…no it couldn't be. Was Dr. Megan Hunt maybe attracted to her?

"Ahh Kate, I see you've changed your outfit. I like that one, but what made you decide to change?" Megan asked as she saw the blonde passing by her in the hall. Megan now had her hair pulled up and was in the lab issue purple scrubs, and Kate mentally kicked herself for not just changing into those to raise less suspicion. "Well I can't get anything past you can I Dr. Hunt?" she added with sarcasm, thinking now would be a good time to ask about the case, when Megan struck up that part of the conversation on her own.

"So, I was right about the 'who done it', but I have yet to get to the 'why' the butler did it, but Bud should be answering that question any minute, since he now has the suspect in the sweat box." Megan turned to go back into the lab to get another look at the body before she left, and Kate momentarily stopped her. It was killing her not having asked her out for drinks earlier, and she knew now was the opportune moment, and she took the chance.

"Dr. Hunt, I was wondering, since tomorrow isn't a school night and all, I was wondering if you would like to go out for drinks with me?" She felt hesitant with the last part of her question, the fear of rejection almost keeping her from ending it.

Megan simply smiled and nodded that was fine, stating just before she walked away, "Sounds great Kate, I'll pick you up at 8:30? We'll get an early start." Kate nodded in agreement and walked away, needing to go back to her office for a moment to do a small victory dance. She was determined to figure out more about this woman, why she found her so intriguing, so fascinating, and so…attractive.
