Sorry it took so long...and it isn't a long chapter...

PSA: guys are assholes and don't spend an entire weekend getting drunk...that is all.

Again, not mine...just playing in the Sandbox.


Sharon couldn't remember the last time she had laughed so hard.

"I am not kidding…" Andy chuckled, leading Sharon through the dining room of the restaurant, "The woman through her drink and the man, grabbed her purse and left…"
"She had no idea?"

Andy shook his head, 'No, none whatsoever, she thought he was just flirting with the waitress. Though it does have a happy ending…the gentleman did come back the next day apologizing for the whole scene, his fiancé also apologizing. Apparently she had received a text from her best friend asking her if she had said yes to marrying him…"
Sharon smiled, "Thank god for best friends."

Andy smiled and nodded as they approached a back hallway of the restaurant, obscured by a weirdly angled wall. Walking down the hallway towards a sliding door Sharon's sense started spiking as she slowly followed. Instinctively Sharon moved her hand to the side of her hip, realizing after the action that she didn't have her gun with her. "shit." Her head started spinning as she realized that the only way out was behind her. Had she been wrong? Had he checked her out as soon as she left and found out she was a cop? Where is her phone? Would he notice if I sent a text? Before she could do or think anything else a sudden darkness startled her.


Andy grumbled to himself as he left the door open, allowing the light to flow in, why they would put the light switch a few steps inside the door was beyond him. Flicking on the lights Andy's eyes had to adjust to the sudden burst of light before things settled into a soft glow, the hallway Sharon dimming as well. He smirked as he saw Sharon panic, eyes probably darkening as they tried to adjust to the light. He decided to have some fun and lean up against the doorway, trying to look as nonchalant as possible.

"Afraid of the dark?"

Sharon turned at the sound of his voice, eyes falling on his smirking form against the doorway. "Only when I am with a potential killer…" Sharon thought sarcastically, non-verbally answering with a shake of her head, confidently walking past him as he moved aside to let her through. Andy made a noise very similar to a grunt and followed Sharon, eyes following down her form as she heads down the stairs. Had he been any closer he would feel the tension in her body and hear the ragged breath, but she wasn't going to let him see the fear she had as a set of double doors came into view once reaching the bottom of the staircase.

As Andy swept past her and opened the next set of doors Sharon had to physically hold back a groan. Some detective she was…instead of panicking she should have remembered the blue prints during her classes and that there was a downstairs club, opened only on the weekends when the restaurant was closed. It was weird, but it brought in the money. The upstairs was open from 11am-10pm from Monday through Thursday, on Friday they were open only until 8pm, allowing the restaurant the close down and get ready for the club to open at 10:30pm and stay open until 3:30am and having that same schedule through the whole weekend. Andy had been hired to work the nights on the weekend and opening Monday through Thursday, coming in at 10 to make sure everything got ready. That is how Narco figured they got away with the criminal activity for so long, only doing the actual transactions on the weekend, planning everything during the week.

Andy shot a questioning look at Sharon, moving his hand in a motion for her to enter. Sharon blushed slightly, getting caught in her thoughts, and moved to enter the open room. Andy smiled fondly and hovered by the doorway allowing taking in the room. Much like upstairs, the entire area was underwater themed, but while the dining area was sophisticated and elegant with a fountain, the club area was more modern, hip, geared towards a younger crowd. There were columns of water strewn about the room, presumably bubble towers if turned on. Walking towards the bar Sharon ran her hand over the marble table top before running her hand over the carved woodwork at the base of the table, waves crashing onto the shore. The walls were scattered with different paintings and wall décor of ocean animals. Walking towards the middle of the room, she noticed that the dance floor was made of glass, as well as the table tops. The chairs set at the tables were shaped into different types of shells, a cushion on each seat.

As Sharon headed towards the tables Andy decided that he would show her a surprise. Moving off to the left he flicked a light switch and plunged them into darkness. As both their eyes adjusted Sharon's eyes wandered the now blue tinted room. The bubbles rumbled up through the tubes, changing colors as they move. The tops of the tables were now puddles of water, upon touch she realized that it rippled underneath her. Smiling, she swept her eyes to the floor; the once tan floors sparkling with black glitter. The dance floor she had noticed because like water also, except instead of ripples upon touch it looked like there were all sorts of fish and other creatures of the sea swimming around.

Andy flipped the switch back off, allowing everything to turn back to normal. When the lights were back to normal Sharon turned and faced Andy, eyes wide and a smile covering her entire face. She looked like a kid in a candy store, reminding him of his daughter on Christmas….a feeling of soberness suddenly rushing through him. It didn't last long as Sharon came closer to him, speaking excitedly.

"Oh my gosh Andy…that was…amazing…this entire place is incredible…I would never want to leave."

Andy chuckled, "A bit different from your dad's shop huh?"

Sharon fondly smiled, "Yes, definitely bigger…but it doesn't have Daddy's signed bats and balls, though he would like this…and you…" Sharon offered quickly, blushing slightly and heading towards the door back up to the real world.

Andy grinned as she shuffled out and shook his head, hitting the lights as he left and locked the door. Walking behind her as they ascended the stairs he couldn't help but stare at her ass, which looked amazing in those jeans. As they got to the top Sharon turned back to Andy, eyes a bright shade of green and smiled, making sure she didn't lose him before heading towards the dining area. Stopping for a moment Andy sighed and just watched her walk away. He had never had this much fun showing a new team member the place, and he had also never been this excited for work. Hope bubbled through him as he started walking again, his life finally looking brighter, the perverbal clouds clearing for the first time in two years…for the first time since he lost his baby girl.
