It took Flack a while to figure it out. Terrence was good, smooth, and subtle. But Flack was a detective and a damned good one and he put the pieces together. Terrence was flirting. With him. Every time he came into the club, not for work, but for a drink, it didn't matter how many beautiful women were in the club. Whenever Flack entered the room in his street clothes for a drink and a chat Terrence kept his eyes on him. Smiled. Joked. Made Flack laugh. Terrence was definitely smooth. But Flack had him figured out.

Flack was glad Terrence's place had gotten torched...that sounded bad...but if those thugs had never tried to take the guy out Terrence wouldn't have ended up in his apartment and they wouldn't have finally gotten on the same page. He was just glad T was in the clear. All the evidence the guys had collected put him in the clear. Though Terrence hadn't been back to his neighborhood...obviously it wasn't safe. Good thing his club was in a friendlier part of town.

Even a month later Terrence was still staying at his club, sleeping in his office. Tonight, Flack intended to change that. Certainly their official courting had been interesting, nights at the club, expensive dinners...and Terrence certainly appreciated certain skills that Flack hadn't used sense high school. But enough was enough. He wanted the man in his apartment, in his bed and frankly he didn't care who topped, as long as there full on action going on.

Everyone at the lab already knew and didn't bat an eye, probably because they'd already gotten used to the oddness that was Mac and Adam's relationship. So after a quick talk with his CO, who just shook his head and told him not to broadcast the relationship, he called Terrence, T answered on the first ring.

"Yeah Baby?"

"I figured it out. We're doing this right. No hiding...not gonna shout it from the rooftops...but my CO knows. The guys at the lab have known for a while."

"Who won the pool?"

Flack laughed. "Adam."

"The lab geek keeps Mac on his toes."

"That he does. You wanna come over tonight?"

"Yeah. Manager can run the club for me."

Flack grinned. "Good. Pizza and beer sound good?"

"As long as you're on the menu for desert, K-9."

"That's a guarantee T." They hung up and Flack opened his desk, peering at the picture of Jessica he kept there. He smiled; it didn't hurt as much to remember her now. He closed the drawer and stood up. There was pizza, beer, and a smokin' hot guy on the menu tonight.

Jess would approve.
