A/N: Okay so now they are in LA, Let's hope they can at least be civil to each other.

Chapter 2: Introductions To Their LA Counterparts

Scotty's POV

Okay, so maybe sleepin with my partner's sister ain't the best idea I have ever had. But Chris makes me feel normal again. And after Elisa I need to feel normal. When Boss told me I had 'won' the right to accompany Lil to LA I wasn't exactly happy. She hasn't said more than two words to me since our fight in the lobby, I know I shouldn't have used what Chris said about Patrick but she been shutting me out all day and I wanted to see any kinda emotion commin from her. Even if it's anger, So now we are in LA on our way to The LA PD to talk to Boss's old friend Lt Rodger Dickson about this current case.

I try and get Lil to talk to me in the taxi ride over to the precinct but she was completely ignoring me. Not that I could blame her, I betrayed her trust and stuffed up big time. Was gonna take a lot of smoothing over if she would only let me try.

I paid the taxi driver and we got out of the car, A Detectives approached us as we got out our bags "You two must be the Detectives from Philly" I nodded and held out my hand.

"Scotty Valens" I said shaking the guy's hand.

"Mark Jacobs" he replied and he turned to Lil and held out a hand.

"Lilly Rush" she said and shook his hand to.

"Come on up, The lieutenant has been expecting you" We followed him into the department and up to the homicide department.

Mark introduced us to the rest of his unit Thomas Hunt and Peter Hamilton and to Lt Dickson, Lt Dickson took Lil into his office to show her some picture of when he and Boss were at the academy together and I stayed behind to talk to Mark and the other.

"Dude your partners smokin" Peter said and I am surprised at the anger starting to wheal up in my chest. I really don't Like it when people comment on Lil's looks Like that; it always makes it sound as if they think she only got to be in Homicide because of them.

"Yeah" I manage to get out.

"You ever..." he gives me a not so subtle gesture.

"Nah, Lil and I are just friends" not anymore I add silently to myself.

"Is she seeing someone, cause if she not I might ask her out" he said again and I shake my head again.

"She ain't seeing anyone that I know of" I said

"Excellent" He says and I see him walk over to Lil who is comming out of the Lt's office.

"I think first things first, we should check into our hotel" Lilly said and I nod on agreement, I am so tired that I am looking forward to crashin out for a while.

"Peter could you drive them to the hotel" Lt Davidson said asked and I watched as he eagerly grabbed his coat and started to walk out the door. Lil and I follow and I notice she is still avoiding my gaze.

We get into Peter's car and he takes us over to one of the budget hotels (I make a mental note to thank the accounting department of the Philly PD for their fine choice of hotel, not)that we'll be staying in, and helps us to the reception to check in.

"Your rental car should be delivered later today" Peter said still staring at Lil. I clear my throat and Lil smiles at Peter.

"Well we will go get settled in and head over to the hospital later" She said and peter nods.

"You two should join us tonight at the bar" he scribbles down the address and hands it to me.

"Yeah, why not" I say and Lil and I head up to our rooms. I find out that our rooms are right next to each other and before I can say anything Lil opens her door, walks in and slams it shut. I sigh and open my door and stare longingly at the bed, maybe a quick cat nap wouldn't hurt I though and as I kick off my shoes and loosen my tie I lie back against the rock hard mattress and close my eyes.

When I wake up I look at my watch and realise that I have been asleep for three hours, swearing I leap out off the mattress and head for the shower. Standing under the water and grab the complementary bottle of shampoo and rub it through my hair. Just as I rinse it out there is a knock on my door. Turning off the shower I grab a towel wrapping it around my waist as I head over and open it. Lilly is standing there and as her eyes fall on me I see her blush slightly.

"The...um...the car is...here" she says her eyes travel over my chest and I nod

"I'll just throw on some clothes" I say and she nods and turns on her heel. I let out a breath and head over to my suitcase, throwing on some clothes a slap on some cologne before I head outside to meet Lil.
