Kate's POV
'Geez today is becoming a long day at the office,' I decide glancing at my desk, then stretching my view beyond the desk to the rest of my office. A deep sigh escapes my mouth as my hands automatically come up to cradle my head, closing my eyes I can't help but decide today has been way too long. Standing quickly I move to the window to look at the busy traffic on the street below, just as I'm watching the lights change colour, I hear a loud crash followed by a loud "fuck!" Rushing out of my office I see the security guards quickly advancing on Megan's office. I wave them off immediately seeing a light on and the sound of quick tapping stiletto heels on the marble floor. "It's fine, it's just Megan…I'll check it out."
Advancing quickly to Megan's office I see her body moving rapidly back and forth. "Megan, what on earth was that?" I state waltzing into her office and glancing around expecting to see something broken but instead, I see my red-haired M.E sitting on the couch, holding her head in her hands. "Megan?" I question moving closer to her. I watch her raise her face and can immediately see the tear streaks leaking down her face. 'Oh Megan…' I think as I approach her quietly but quickly. Sitting next to her I watch as she does something strange, she moves closer to me, close enough that we are almost touching and it's like I can feel her breath without seeing it with my own eyes. "Megan…" I start as she turns to me quickly and before I can say any more her perfume invades my senses and then her lips land on mine.
Soft lips and little nips are all I can feel as Megan leans further into me. I feel myself moving backwards on the couch and then my feet slip from solid ground as my back hits the couch. I feel Megan move closer until she's leaning over my body. Breaking apart from the kiss I take the opportunity to look Megan in the eye, really look at her and the look on her face. She pulls back quickly, quicker than I would've ever given her credit for. As quickly as she's pulled back, she is grabbing her handbag and gone. Touching my fingers to my lips I can't help but think, 'Well Murphy, that long day just became a very long night…'
Megan's POV
'Holy fuck, holy fuck, holy fuck…' I repeat repeatedly as I rush from my office and hack at the button on the elevator with ferocity. Hearing the dull ding of the opening of the doors I bolt inside and quickly press close doors. The feeling of the elevator silently descending into the basement of the Medical Examiner's building filled me with a little bit of peace. I watched the light move from the ground floor to the lower basement where I had parked that morning. I half-by expected the doors to open and Kate to be standing there demanding an answer but with the speed I moved from my office, I doubt it would happen that quickly even for her.
Approaching my car, I quickly unlock it and slide into the driver's seat, locking the door behind me because let's be honest a woman in my stage of life can never be too careful with her life. Turning the keys in the ignition my car roars to life and I speed out of the parking garage. The lights of the city flash past as I continue my path home. Arriving at the apartment I'm overcome with how quiet and cold it seems inside, looking around at the closed door of Lacey's room and the stereotypical white walls and laminate floors. Tossing my handbag onto the hallway table I wander inside a little bit further noticing more things I don't think I ever have before, the uniformity of the furniture that looks like it belongs here but that the overall feel of the apartment is not of warmth but rather rigid conformity. 'Geez Megan, as if anyone could ever put up with your…' Throwing my hands around I laugh and say… 'well this…no one can control this kind of chaos that I seem to have a magnet for. Wandering to the kitchen I grab the bottle of wine chilling in the fridge and then as I hear the crisp opening of the wine I suddenly remember. 'Shit! I kissed my boss.'
