another one yeahhhhhhhh
My filing was interrupted by my cell ringing.
"Gabriella, we need a warrant."
"Linden, you know I don't get warrants ready here. I just file them."
"I know. I was wondering... if you could do to the D.A.s office and talk to Luke. I know you and him used to be close."
Leave it to Linden to forget about subtlety during a case.
Before I could respond, I heard Holder in the background.
"Yo, Linden. You pimpin' Gabs out? She ain't gonna go for that. What are you-"
"I'll do it."
"Really? Great. Thanks, Gabriella. Here are the details..."
Twenty minutes later I was en route to see Luke. We'd been friends once. Then we'd gone on a few dates. Hadn't worked out. Hadn't really talked to him since. I think he was married now.
"Gabby? Hi. I was surprised when I got your call. How are you?"
"I'm been well, Luke. And yourself?"
"Great. Everything's been... great."
"Luke... I need a favor."
When I got back to the station, Linden and Holder were already there.
"Did you get it?"
"Yeah. And please don't waste it, Linden."
"I won't. Thanks, Gabriella."
She ran past, ready to get back to the hunt. Holder was slower, stopping next to me in the doorway.
"So what'd a sweet little number like you have to do to get a favor out of the D.A.?"
"Not much."
"Oh, not much, huh? Wanna share your technique? I mean, I'd love to learn from a master."
"Jealous, Holder?"
"Should I be?"
"Well... Stephen," I began, stepping close to him and letting my fingers wrap around the lapels of his leather jacket. I saw him bite his lip, stop himself from saying something. "If you really wanna know..." I took another step closer. "...you could come with me to his house on Friday night..." Was he holding his breath? "...and help me babysit his nine-month-old baby."
He scoffed, breath coming out heavily, lips pulling into a smirk, as he stepped us both back.
"Sweetheart, I'd much rather you came over to MY house Friday night... and we could make some babies of our own. Ya know, it's been rainin' a lot. I can get to work on that ark soon, but we gotta start repopulatin'."
"Well, why didn't you tell me that earlier? I could've told him I already had plans."
"That's alright, Baby. Just, future reference, every free night is dojo night."
"I'll keep that in mind."
He looked down at me and grinned. I realized I was still holding onto his coat. That I'd gotten closer to him.
"You should go find Linden."
"I got the keys. She ain't goin' anywhere."
I let him go.
"Bye, Holder."
"Bye, Angel."
FIN. This is kinda the most unrealistic one to me, but I still like it.
