Chapter 28

"Hey Warrick I think I might have caught a break. There was this guy named Timothy Trainor whose sister was raped and murdered about a year and a half before Sara left California. She talked to him the night of the murder. You know how Sara likes to scribble notes in the margins? She felt some bad vibes off this guy, look at this." He handed the folder to Warrick.

Warrick looked at the report and read the notes Sara had written. 'Gave me the creeps, asked for my phone number, , more interested in me than sister, kept touching my arm,' "Might be worth seeing if we can come up with a picture of this guy and ask the guard and the nurses at the hospital if it' s him. Did you do a search on him?"

"Yeah I did and guess what? There's a real nice picture of him, it's old but it should still work. Do you think maybe we should call Catherine and Sara and ask if they would take a look at it?"

"Yeah maybe we should go straight to the source instead of dealing with the hospital. They both know what he looks like so they should be able to identify him. Let's call first they might be busy."

"If they're busy they wouldn't mind stopping whatever it is they're doing to identify this guy for us right?"

"Are you in there buddy?" He knocked on Nick's head.

"What?" Nick asked as he was rubbing his head where Warrick had hit him.

"Man are you really that naïve? Do you have any idea what you might be interrupting?" Nick shook his head and looked at Warrick confusedly. "Stop and think what would you be doing with a fine woman if the two of you just hooked up and it was your first time alone after what they just went through?"

Nick blushed when it finally dawned on him. "Oh man you mean they're…Geez Warrick I didn't need to know that."

"Would you rather I let you rush over there and have them answer the door fresh from their bed?" Warrick had to laugh as Nick blushed even more. "Man we gotta get you a girlfriend. Let's call the girls and see if they're up to a visit."

Sara woke the next morning to hear her phone ringing. She didn't want to answer it because it would mean leaving the beauty in her arms. I could get used to waking up like this. "Cat do you know where my phone is?" Sara kissed Catherine and then jumped out of bed when her phone would not stop ringing. She started throwing clothes around the bedroom trying to find her phone. "I can hear it ringing but I can't find it."

"Do you remember where you had it last?"

"It was in the pocket of the shorts I had on yesterday, but someone threw my clothes all over the place and I can't seem to find them."

Catherine lay on the bed and watched Sara on all fours crawling around the bedroom floor. "If you want my opinion, if it keeps you on all fours naked then I hope you never find it." Catherine came up behind her and started kissing the back of her neck.

"Come on Cat it's driving me crazy."

"I should hope so."

"I don't mean you, I meant not being able to find my phone. Although what you are doing is driving me crazy too. But someone is trying very hard to get a hold of me."

Just then Catherine's phone started ringing and she looked to the bedside table where she usually put it but it wasn't there. "Sara do you know where my phone is?"

"Nope can't worry about it right now I need to find mine. Ah here it is." Sara shimmied out from under the bed.

"My phone?" Catherine asked.

"No mine." She checked the caller ID and saw that it was Warrick and she stifled a moan as she watched while Catherine was now on the floor trying to find her phone. "Hey Warrick what's up? I couldn't find my phone. She's still trying to find hers. Don't ask, you don't want to know." She laughed at something Warrick said. "Yeah something like that. So what's up? Really, I thought I went through every one of those cases with a fine tooth comb, how could I have missed that? Hey Cat would it be ok if Nick and Warrick came over with a picture to show us? They may have found our guy."

"Sure just hang up your phone and call mine so it will start ringing again so I can find it before they get here."

"Sure Warrick come on over. See you guys soon." She hung up the phone and turned to Catherine. "I know what you mean about that position on the floor."

"Don't start anything because the guys won't take long to get here. Call my phone so I can find it. Where the hell did I kick my shorts? I thought they went this way but I guess not." Sara was laughing as Catherine crawled around but somehow she made it sexy.

"How is it you can make something so not sexy, sexy?" Catherine wiggled her ass as she was reaching under the bed for what she hoped were her shorts. "Woman if you keep wiggling that cute ass of yours we won't be in any position to answer the door when the guys get here." She wiggled one more time and stood up and innocently turned to Sara.

"What's the matter baby? Are you ok?"

"You know exactly what the problem is. That sexy ass of yours could drive a saint to sin. Let's get dressed." When they finished dressing Catherine started a pot of coffee and they were both drinking coffee when they heard the doorbell, Sara pinched Catherine's perfect ass as she walked in front of her to answer the door. "Make sure you check first." Catherine gave her a look over her shoulder. "Well I just wanted to make sure you weren't too distracted and forgot." Catherine opened the door and Nick and Warrick stepped in. Warrick winked at Catherine and gave Sara a sly grin. Nick wouldn't make eye contact with either woman, Sara gave Warrick a questioning glance and all he did was laugh.

"Hey Nick why don't you show them the picture and tell them how you found it."

Nick still managed to avoid eye contact as he handed the picture to Sara and explained that he just kept looking through the file for anyone with a 'T' in his name and then came up with this.

"Yeah that's him. How is he connected to me?" Sara passed the picture to Catherine and watched her shudder at the unpleasant memory.

Nick finally looked up but looked down right away when he saw both women in shorts and T-shirts. He wasn't used to seeing them in anything less than pants or dresses. His mind went into over drive imagining what they had been doing. Man I'm going to kill Warrick for putting that thought in my head. "I was able to piece it together because of your habit of writing little notes in the margins of your unofficial reports. You wrote that this guy gave you the creeps. His sister was raped and murdered about a year and a half before you left California."

"Oh yeah now I remember him. He really creeped me out. He came in to identify his sister's body and spent more time hitting on me than grieving. He even asked me out as he was leaving. Wasn't even that good looking." She took the picture from Catherine to look at it again. "Still not good looking. So what do we do now?"

"Well you two go back to what you were doing and we'll get his picture out there and keep an eye out. We'll call Brass and tell him and make sure he distributes pictures to all of his guys. We'll leave this one with the guys on guard and tell them to pass it along to their replacements. You ladies enjoy your day and carry on with what you were up to when we called." Warrick was laughing when he slapped Nick on the shoulder. "Come Nick let's let the ladies continue whatever they were doing."

"Good job Nicky. Hey Nick you ok? You look a little flushed. Need some water or anything?" Catherine had an idea what was wrong and she thought she would play along with Warrick a little bit. "Are you hot or are you blushing. Ah look Sara he's blushing. What ya thinkin' about Nicky? What's got ya blushing like a virgin on her wedding night?" That made him blush even more. "Oh Nicky you had better develop a thicker skin or these guys are going to eat you up and spit you out."

"Speaking of eating you up." Sara wiggled her eyebrows grabbed Catherine from behind and rested her chin on her shoulder and looked up at Nick and Warrick with laughter in her eyes.

"Ok that's our cue to get the hell out of here." If it was possible Nick blushed even more as he headed for the door. "See you guys in a couple of days. We won't call again unless it's an emergency." He could hear laughter from behind him as he headed for his car.

"Hey Cat I'm going to go outside and sit for awhile. Want to join me?"

"Why don't I prepare something for us to eat and I'll bring it out when I'm done ok?"

"Sounds good." She walked up and pulled Catherine to her and brought their lips together. What started out as just a playful kiss turned into so much more. "It was nice waking up next to you this morning. Too bad the phone woke us up because I would have loved to snuggle with you."

"Mmmm I like the sound of that but we need nourishment. See you in a few." She reached up and gave her a quick peck on the lips and pushed her away. "Go."

Sara walked out to the back deck and sat down on one of the chairs. She looked back in the house to make sure Catherine couldn't see her before she pulled out her phone. She waited for the phone to be answered and without even a hello she spoke. "Jim I have an idea on how we can catch this guy."
