…

Prompt: Oliver Shaw.

"Maybe you should talk to her."
"About what?"
"How you feel."

Oliver Shaw barely flinched under his friend's hard gaze, taking a sip from the glass in front of him. Ignoring the burn of the alcohol he watched the smile grow on the Detective's face after a moment.

That smile.

Her smile.

It was the first time he'd seen Sam Swarek smile like that in over nine months. Between Jerry Barber's death and the after-math of Project Dakota, the Training Officer had watched his friend dive head-first into a relationship he was not invested in, with a woman who simply wouldn't understand the man's ties to Andy McNally.

Oliver couldn't watch him make that mistake again, when he'd finally been given a second chance.

"What's that for?" he question, frowning at the grin on Swarek's face.
"I have."
"Have what?"
"Spoken to her, about how I feel."

With raised eyebrows, the Training Officer looked over his shoulder at the rookie, just as she was bidding her friend's farewell. As Andy began making her way to where he sat with Sam, he looked back his best friend.

"I'm cooking," Sam stated, "We're going to talk properly, and sort things out. Not dive head-first like we did during the Brennan case."
"You ready to go?" the female officer's voice greeted them.
"Yeah," he nodded, standing up and reaching into his pocket to pull out his wallet.
Shaw held a hand up, shaking his head, "I've got it. You go."
"Thanks Ollie, I'll see you tomorrow."

Lifting a hand to wave at the couple, watching them push their way through the crowd toward the door. His eyes dropped to where Sam Swarek's hand was placed on her back and he shook his head.

"About time," he murmured with a chuckled, tipping his head back and drowning the last of his drink, standing up and dropping a bill on the table.

Signaling Liam behind the bar, he made his way outside with his phone pressed to his ear.

"Hey, you heading home?"
"Yeah. Fifteen minutes, the girls still awake?"

…

Like with 'G', I wrote this and haven't changed a thing since.

So there are two chapters later on 'S' and 'T' that will contradict this all (in a sense that they don't fit in a story line with this chapter) so this is just my reminded that not all of the chapters are linked and some of them are probably so AU that I could start a new series with them.

(Probably reminding you for the fifteenth time since I started. But oh well!)

Next Prompt: Partners.
"And I know that your partner here isn't the only one who'll be agreeing with the terms I'll be laying down here."
