Later that week, Steve and Danny were taking the long drive across the island to their newest crime scene. Steve was driving, but frequently glancing at his phone checking his messages. Danny caught him looking at his phone for what was the fifth time since they got in the car.
"Alright, I pretend to be okay with you driving my car, but if you keep looking at that phone you're going to crash it."
"What, you think I can't multi-task Danny?"
"I don't know if you remember, but since you're okay with not looking at the road, take a look down at that thing hanging off your belt and remember we're COPS. We're not supposed to promote multi-tasking and driving."
"Any other tips you want to give me about doing my job?"
"Actually, yes there are. But it would take much longer than this car ride and would probably be more along the lines of me writing a book, so since I don't have the time, maybe later."
"A book?"
"Yes. A book; you break at least 10 rules every time we leave HPD. I think that requires a book.
"Alright then." As he replies, he looks back down at his phone, this time replying to the message while smirking and glancing back up check the road.
"Who on earth could you be texting that is more important than our safety in this vehicle?"
Steve looked over to Danny and then back at the road to appease him. "You really want to know?"
"No, I asked because I didn't want to know. YES I WANT TO KNOW."
"Kayla."
"Oh." Danny nods, looking out the window for a second and then back to Steve. "Because we're both so much better to her dead."
"Calm down Daniel. We're not going to crash."
"And suddenly he can predict the future."
Putting the phone back in his pocket, he shook his head. "You know what, I'm going to be the bigger person and end this."
"The bigger person, funny."
After a few minutes, Danny looked back over at Steve and spoke up again.
"So you and Kayla."
He looked back at Danny with a questioning look. "I thought that part was already established."
"Mister comedy ladies and gentlemen. What I didn't get to say was, how's that going? It's been what 3 weeks now?"
"Yes, yes it has. And it's going well I'd say."
"Well? What does that even mean?"
"Yeah, well. We hang out, we have fun. I'd say that's good!"
"Oh, so it's good now?"
"Yes, it's good! What's with the third degree?"
"She's my baby sister, I want to make sure that you're treating her right!"
"Would you like a play by play of what we do when we're together? Because I guarantee that you won't like it!"
Danny threw his hands up in protest. "Please! Spare me the gory details."
"That's what I thought!"
"You know, I think you two secretly enjoy taunting me with this details thing."
"Well then I'll make sure we get our stories straight and we can really freak you out." He looked over at his partner with a smirk at the disgusted look his face held.
They pulled up at the crime scene and Danny was the first one out of the car. "How about we focus on the dead body instead of how you defile my sister?"
"Doesn't sound like nearly as much fun, but hey, it is my job, right?"
Later that night, Danny came home to the smell of something delicious wafting from his kitchen. Walking to the kitchen he sighed in relief when he knew that he wasn't going to have to cook dinner tonight.
"So what do I owe the honour of my baby sister cooking for me?"
"Mom's idea and I really didn't feel like eating take out again when you decided that you didn't want to cook dinner."
"Mom's idea?"
"Yeah, she called to make sure that we were both still alive. And of course scolded me for not cooking dinner for my 'lovely brother who let you stay at his house for free for all this time'." She changed her voice at the end to make herself sound more like their mother.
He laughed and wrapped his arm around her shoulders. "Well she is right, I mean I'm letting you stay here for free and you don't even bother to make me dinner. What kind of sister are you?"
She looked up at him with risen eyebrows and put her free hand on her hip. "The kind who can leave any second."
"Don't even think about it. Can we eat now, I like my food hot not cold."
She laughed grabbing a couple dishes off the counter. "You really do have a knack for thanking people, you know that?"
He bowed jokingly, "I do what I can miss."
She rolled her eyes at her older brother and sat down at the table as brought the rest of the food over.
"So I was wondering something."
"Oh yeah? What's that?"
"I was wondering if you had heard from Matt lately."
Danny stopped midway through bringing food up to his mouth. "Matt?"
She nodded as she finished chewing the bite in her mouth.
"No, haven't heard from him in months. Why?"
"I've tried calling him, but he never answers his cell."
"Probably just busy. Besides, you know the way he his, always busy and equally as scatter brained."
"It's not like him to not call back though."
He put his fork down looking at her trying his best to hide his nerves on talking about this. "Hey, don't worry about it. He's probably fine."
She followed suit and put her fork down, but somewhat more aggressively than her brother did. "Probably fine? He's your brother and you're okay with sitting here and telling me that he's PROBABLY fine?"
"What am I supposed to do Kayla?! He's a grown man and he can go wherever and do whatever he pleases! If he hasn't called in a couple months than I'm sure he's just fine!"
"Alright, so when Matt decides to have his own life it's fine, but when I want to have my own life big brother swoops in and suddenly becomes all protective?!"
Danny stopped, standing completely still and looking at her. "That's different and you know it."
"How Danny? How is it different?"
"You're my baby sister-"
"I'm getting really sick of the baby sister crap, I was doing just fine back in Jersey by myself without you so why wouldn't I be able to do just fine here!"
"Can we please stop arguing about this?"
"Yeah, we can." With saying that Kayla walked off to her room.
"Seriously, Kayla? You're going to go sulk in your room?"
She came back out with her purse and jacket and headed for the door.
"Nope, I'm leaving."
As she got to the door, he yelled out. "Where are you going?"
Before shutting the door she yelled back, "where do you think?"
