An Unlikely Friendship
\nBy Patt<\/p>\n
Jim noticed that Blair and Connor were becoming good friends and this bothered him a little bit. He wanted Blair to himself and didn\u2019t like sharing with Connor. But he was going to have to grow up and realize that there was only one thing to do. He was going to have to be nice to Connor and make sure that Blair noticed. <\/p>\n
Jim and Blair had been lovers for about six months when he started going to movies with Connor when Jim was working late. At first it didn\u2019t bother him, but now it did. He was going to have to change things around a bit in his life. Connor was going to have to be included on some of their outings. Jim was getting a headache just thinking about it. Get over it, Ellison, its just starting.<\/i><\/p>\n
<<<>>><\/p>\n
In the bullpen the next day, Jim walked up to Connor and said, \u201cWould you like to go to lunch with me and Blair today?\u201d<\/p>\n
Connor was shocked to say the least. \u201cAre you making fun of me?\u201d She asked quickly. <\/p>\n
\u201cMaking fun of you about what?\u201d Jim asked. <\/p>\n
Megan Connor was truly shocked. She said, \u201cI would love to have lunch with you today. That would be very nice.\u201d <\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re going to go at noon, if that\u2019s good for you.\u201d Jim added. <\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll meet you at the elevator at noon. You\u2019re driving, right?\u201d She teased. <\/p>\n
\u201cYup, I\u2019m driving. I was thinking Chili\u2019s for lunch, is that all right with you?\u201d Jim responded. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ll see you at noon.\u201d Connor walked happily back to her desk and began to do paperwork. She didn\u2019t know what was going on with Ellison, but she was thrilled that Jim asked her to have lunch with he and Sandy. Maybe Sandy put him up to it. Maybe he\u2019s making him do this. <\/i> Connor found herself worrying about it then. <\/p>\n
Blair walked by Connor\u2019s desk and she said, \u201cSandy did you ask Jim to ask me to join the two of you for lunch?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, did he ask you to lunch?\u201d Blair was honestly shocked. <\/p>\n
Connor smiled then and said, \u201cYes, we\u2019re going to Chili\u2019s.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSweet\u2026\u201d Blair replied as he walked over to his desk and sat down. <\/p>\n
Jim looked up at Blair and smiled when he saw his partner starting right in on the paperwork. <\/p>\n
\u201cJim, did you ask Connor to have lunch with us?\u201d Blair whispered. <\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, I know that she\u2019s a good friend of yours and I thought I would ask her to join us,\u201d Jim said casually. <\/p>\n
Blair gave Jim a huge smile and said, \u201cWell it was really nice and I thank you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Both men got back to work and nothing more was said. <\/p>\n
<<<>>><\/p>\n
At noon, Blair said, \u201cAre we going to lunch?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, Connor\u2019s waiting over by the elevator already, she must be starving,\u201d Jim teased. <\/p>\n
\u201cWell, she exercises a lot, so she has to keep up her strength,\u201d Blair said. <\/p>\n
They joined Connor and got into the elevator. <\/p>\n
\u201cSo we\u2019re going to Chili\u2019s?\u201d Blair inquired. <\/p>\n
Jim smiled and said, \u201cYeah, I like Chili\u2019s. You both do, right?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI love Chili\u2019s,\u201d Blair answered. <\/p>\n
\u201cMe too,\u201d Connor agreed. <\/p>\n
\u201cThen it\u2019s settled,\u201d Jim said, as they headed for the truck. Jim opened the door for Blair and Connor and then went over to his side. Blair got into the truck first and slid across the seat. Once they were all in, Jim said, \u201cSeatbelts or we aren\u2019t moving.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWow, Sandy, you have him trained,\u201d Connor kidded. <\/p>\n
\u201cNot my idea, it was all of the fender benders he got into and didn\u2019t want me going through the windshield,\u201d Blair explained. <\/p>\n
Jim didn\u2019t say anything as he drove out of the parking garage and headed over to Chili\u2019s. <\/p>\n
Blair said, \u201cSo does anyone have any ideas about the Bender case?\u201d<\/p>\n
Jim spoke up quickly, \u201cNo office talk. This is supposed to be a friendly lunch, not a work lunch.\u201d<\/p>\n
Connor smiled and said, \u201cI can live with that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Blair asked, \u201cHave you seen No Country for Old Men yet?\u201d <\/p>\n
\u201cNo, not yet, is it good?\u201d Connor asked. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe haven\u2019t seen it yet,\u201d Jim said. <\/p>\n
\u201cI just wondered if you had because we\u2019ve heard it sucks, but it got academy awards, right? It has to be good,\u201d Blair presumed. <\/p>\n
\u201cNot necessarily Chief. Sometimes we don\u2019t agree with critics and award shows,\u201d Jim responded. <\/p>\n
Connor piped up and said, \u201cDid you see Juno, Ellison?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, Blair took me to see it after the two of you saw it. He thought I would enjoy it and I did. It was very good. Not side splitting funny, but fun just the same and I loved the ending,\u201d Jim replied. <\/p>\n
They drove up to Chili\u2019s and Jim parked. \u201cWow, it doesn\u2019t look too busy, we might get in before tomorrow,\u201d Connor joked. <\/p>\n
Blair teased back and said, \u201cWe\u2019ll just show our badges.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou two will sit somewhere else then,\u201d Jim kidded right along with them. <\/p>\n
The three of them walked up and Jim put his name in at the desk. They sat down and waited for their waitress. They were told it would only be about ten minutes. <\/p>\n
\u201cYou know what movie was really good? I mean good enough that Blair went out and bought it for me?\u201d Jim asked. <\/p>\n
Connor smiled and said, \u201cI can\u2019t wait to hear.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jim smiled back and said, \u201cHave you seen Martian Child?\u201d<\/p>\n
Connor laughed and said, \u201cSandy and I were just discussing that the other day. We both loved it. I\u2019m so glad you did too. The critics hated it and said that boy belonged in a mental institution. I disagreed completely.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThey thought putting that little 9 year old boy, away, would be better than staying with John Cusack?\u201d Jim was appalled. <\/p>\n
\u201cExactly, my thinking,\u201d Blair agreed with them. <\/p>\n
\u201cCan I borrow your movie to watch it again? I haven\u2019t seen it since the theater and would love to,\u201d Connor asked. <\/p>\n
\u201cWell, Jim doesn\u2019t like lending out his movies to anyone,\u201d Blair said quickly. <\/p>\n
Just as quickly Jim said, \u201cFor Connor, it\u2019s okay, I know she\u2019ll take care of it. I\u2019ve seen her house.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSeeing my house makes it better?\u201d Connor asked almost laughing. <\/p>\n
\u201cYes, I wouldn\u2019t loan one to Brown, have you ever seen the disarray his house is in? I would never trust my dvd\u2019s to him.\u201d<\/p>\n
The waitress walked up and said, \u201cJim Ellison?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, that\u2019s us,\u201d Jim said standing up. <\/p>\n
\u201cFollow me,\u201d She said as the three of them followed her to their booth. <\/p>\n
They sat down and got comfortable and started reading the menu. After about five minutes, Jim said, \u201cDoes anyone want to have Appetizers?\u201d<\/p>\n
Connor spoke up first. \u201cI do. I like the Hot Spinach and Artichoke Dip, if that\u2019s all right with you guys.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe love that, Connor,\u201d Blair answered. <\/p>\n
\u201cHow about the Southwestern Eggrolls?\u201d Jim asked.<\/p>\n
\u201cOh I love them.\u201d Blair answered. <\/p>\n
\u201cI do too, order those two things and then maybe we can get their fancy salads instead of a big ole hamburger,\u201d Connor suggested. <\/p>\n
\u201cGood thinking, Connor,\u201d Jim agreed. <\/p>\n
So when the waitress got back, they all ordered iced tea and two starters. As she left Jim said, \u201cBy the way, I told Simon that we\u2019d be gone up to two hours, so there is no rush.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you,\u201d Connor said happily. <\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re welcome,\u201d Jim answered. <\/p>\n
Blair just looked around like he was in the twilight zone, but decided not to make a big thing about it. Jim was just trying to be nice-he should just let it be.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat are you getting?\u201d Blair asked Jim. <\/p>\n
\u201cI want the Boneless Buffalo Chicken Salad,\u201d Jim answered. <\/p>\n
\u201cOh that sounds good,\u201d Connor said. \u201cI\u2019m going to have the Grilled Caribbean Salad, I just love them.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd I\u2019m going to have the Mesquite Chicken Salad because I love the dressing,\u201d Blair said. <\/p>\n
\u201cSounds like we\u2019re going to have a sensible lunch,\u201d Jim believed. <\/p>\n
The appetizers came and as they ate, they all talked about anything and everything. <\/p>\n
\u201cSo Connor, are you seeing anyone right now?\u201d Jim asked in between bites of his eggrolls.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, I\u2019m seeing a really nice cop from Vice, believe it or not. His name is Mason Johnson, do you know him?\u201d She asked. <\/p>\n
\u201cI not only know him, but I like him a lot. He\u2019s a really nice guy. I hope things go well for you both,\u201d Jim said. <\/p>\n
Blair still felt like he was in the twilight zone, but added, \u201cI like Mason too. He\u2019s really nice.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t realize you knew him,\u201d Jim commented. <\/p>\n
\u201cYes, he went to the movies one night with Connor and me when you had to work late,\u201d Blair explained. <\/p>\n
\u201cOh,\u201d Jim answered. <\/p>\n
Their lunch came and they all began to eat their salads like they hadn\u2019t seen food in a month. <\/p>\n
\u201cSo would you and Johnson like to come over for dinner this weekend?\u201d Jim asked. <\/p>\n
\u201cAll right, this has gone on long enough. What in the hell is going on? Why are you being so nice to me?\u201d Connor asked. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s high time I treated Blair\u2019s friends as my friends, that\u2019s what\u2019s going on,\u201d Jim responded. <\/p>\n
\u201cOh\u2026Well thank you,\u201d Connor replied. <\/p>\n
\u201cYou are most welcome. And by the way, I asked you to lunch today, so I\u2019m paying. And Sandburg, that includes you too,\u201d Jim ordered. <\/p>\n
\u201cThank you,\u201d Connor and Blair said at the same time. <\/p>\n
The rest of the lunch was excellent, between the talk and the food, everyone was having a great time. Finally at about 1:30 Jim said, \u201cWe\u2019d better think about getting back before Simon sends the troops out for us.\u201d<\/p>\n
When the waitress brought the bill, Jim gave her his card and took care of everything. Once they were all done, they walked out to the truck for the ride back to the station. <\/p>\n
<<<>>><\/p>\n
Simon walked out of his office and said, \u201cIs Ellison back yet?\u201d<\/p>\n
Rafe looked around and said, \u201cI don\u2019t see him.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cVery funny, do you know if he\u2019s back yet?\u201d Simon asked more gruffly this time. <\/p>\n
\u201cNo sir, I think he\u2019s still at lunch.\u201d Brown decided to help Rafe out a little. <\/p>\n
\u201cWell as soon as he gets back, tell him I need to see him.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, sir,\u201d Brown answered and he wasn\u2019t kidding. <\/p>\n
As soon as Simon closed his door, Rafe said, \u201cWhat do you suppose that is about?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t have a clue, but I feel sorry for Ellison,\u201d Brown said as he got back to work. <\/p>\n
<<<>>><\/p>\n
When Jim, Blair and Connor walked back into the bullpen, Brown said, \u201cYou might want to watch out for Simon, he\u2019s grouchy and he\u2019s looking for you.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOh great\u2026\u201d Jim sighed. <\/p>\n
\u201cThank you again for lunch, Jim, I had a great time,\u201d Connor said before she headed on over to her own desk to get back to work. <\/p>\n
Blair said, \u201cI think it\u2019s great that you\u2019re trying so hard. And for that, you\u2019ll get a special surprise tonight.\u201d Blair wiggled his eyebrows up and down. <\/p>\n
Jim smiled as he made his way over to Simon\u2019s door and knocked. <\/p>\n
Simon opened the door and said, \u201cCome on in, Jim. We need to talk.\u201d<\/p>\n
Blair sat and watched Jim through the glass, as Rafe and Brown did too. They saw Jim jump up and yell \u201cno fucking way\u201d and then start pacing. <\/p>\n
\u201cDoesn\u2019t look like it\u2019s going well,\u201d Connor said from across the room. <\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think it\u2019s going well at all,\u201d Blair answered. And now he was worried, what was this all about?<\/p>\n
Jim stormed out of the office and didn\u2019t say a word to Blair-he just kept on going to the break room. <\/p>\n
\u201cSandburg, my office, now.\u201d Simon ordered. <\/p>\n
Blair got up quickly and almost ran into the office and closed the door. \u201cWhat\u2019s up sir?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll tell you what\u2019s up. Jim just told me he refused an assignment because he doesn\u2019t want to do it. Do you believe it?\u201d Simon asked. <\/p>\n
\u201cMaybe\u2026 What\u2019s the assignment?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe needs to go to Seattle and be undercover for about six weeks and he refused the job. He knows damn well he\u2019s the only one that we can use without a wire. So there isn\u2019t really a choice in the matter,\u201d Simon grumbled. <\/p>\n
\u201cThere is always a choice, Simon. If he doesn\u2019t want to do it, he doesn\u2019t have to do it, am I right?\u201d Blair asked nervously. Why would Jim turn the assignment down?<\/i><\/p>\n
\u201cHe supposed to follow orders and he\u2019s not. He refuses to do it. I might have to write him up on it and it\u2019ll be in his permanent record.\u201d Simon was the one pacing now. <\/p>\n
\u201cHe wouldn\u2019t turn it down without a reason. What was the reason?\u201d Blair asked. <\/p>\n
\u201cHe doesn\u2019t like it that you won\u2019t be there. And he doesn\u2019t want to be partnered with Connor.\u201d Simon was still chewing on his unlit cigar. <\/p>\n
\u201cOkay, what is the job and why would Connor be his partner?\u201d Blair had to know what was going on. <\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s got to be married and I figured Connor would be perfect for him. He did it one other time, why not this time? But he said he won\u2019t go without you and you can\u2019t go,\u201d Simon explained. <\/p>\n
\u201cWhy can\u2019t I go?\u201d Blair asked hoping he would get a good reason. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe man Jim is going to be playing is involved in gay bashing. There have been three deaths in Seattle because of this and we need to stop it now.\u201d Simon was angry again. <\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll talk to him, sir.\u201d Blair walked out of the office and went looking for Jim. He grabbed Connor on the way. <\/p>\n
\u201cThis has to do with you, so you might want to come and talk with him,\u201d Blair suggested. <\/p>\n
\u201cOkay\u2026\u201d Connor followed Blair into the break room and shut the door after her. Jim was leaning against the wall, almost like he was holding it up. <\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not doing it, Chief,\u201d Jim blurted out. <\/p>\n
\u201cConnor would be your backup, what\u2019s the problem. You know you can handle your senses by yourself. The time would go by quickly and Connor could call me and fill me in when she\u2019s not being watched,\u201d Blair said. <\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not doing it,\u201d Jim said adamantly. <\/p>\n
\u201cWhat is the job?\u201d Connor asked Jim. <\/p>\n
\u201cYou and I play a married couple that happen to believe that gay people should be killed, so we\u2019re in on gay bashing and I just won\u2019t do it,\u201d Jim said angrily. <\/p>\n
\u201cJim, is this the case that have three dead gay men in Seattle?\u201d Connor asked. <\/p>\n
Jim glared at her and said, \u201cI don\u2019t care. I can\u2019t do this.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou won\u2019t, or you can\u2019t.\u201d Connor asked. <\/p>\n
\u201cI can\u2019t. I\u2019m gay for Christ sakes. I can\u2019t pretend this is all right. I can\u2019t hurt another gay person just to make a fucking case stick.\u201d<\/p>\n
Blair looked at Jim seriously and said, \u201cMaybe they\u2019ll let me go then. I could go with Connor.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBlair, you wouldn\u2019t be what they want. They want someone that looks like me and is married to someone like Connor,\u201d Jim explained. <\/p>\n
\u201cThen you have to think about doing it,\u201d Blair almost ordered. \u201cIt\u2019s important Jim.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI know it\u2019s fucking important. I don\u2019t want to be married to Connor. Nothing against you, Connor, but they will be watching us like hawks. We\u2019ve got to make them believe it and I\u2019m afraid they\u2019ll be recording us too. Can you honestly say you want to go undercover and fuck in front of a bunch of low-life\u2019s?\u201d Jim was desperate for her to say no. <\/p>\n
\u201cJim, I can do anything as long as I knew we would still be friends the next day. If this saves one life, it would be worth it. And you\u2019re jumping to conclusions, they may not want us to have sex for them. Maybe just kissing and stuff. I could do that.\u201d Megan was trying to talk him into it. <\/p>\n
\u201cWhat do you think about it now, Blair?\u201d Jim asked his very jealous boyfriend. <\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not wild about you doing anything with Connor, but I agree with her, if it saved one life, it would be worth it. But could you both be friends afterwards, or would it make things harder?\u201d Blair asked. <\/p>\n
\u201cOh don\u2019t give me that shit, Sandburg. You know damn well, you don\u2019t want me sleeping with anyone else. I\u2019ve done undercover enough to know that we probably will have to,\u201d Jim explained. <\/p>\n
\u201cThen you\u2019ll be doing your job. Am I right?\u201d Blair asked. <\/p>\n
\u201cI hate you sometimes,\u201d Jim said softly as he pulled Blair into his arms. It was something they never did at the station, but the door was closed and Jim needed the hug. So Blair gave him one, easily. <\/p>\n
\u201cYou don\u2019t hate me-you just aren\u2019t crazy about this assignment. I think you two should do it. I think you can get along well and make them believe you\u2019re a couple.\u201d Blair was almost pushing them now. <\/p>\n
\u201cNo, I don\u2019t hate you. I love you and I\u2019m going to have to say that to Connor, and don\u2019t know if I can.\u201d Jim was nervous. <\/p>\n
\u201cJim, I think we should do it. Someone has to stop them, and it might as well be us. We can do it. I believe in us.\u201d Connor was ready to sign up. <\/p>\n
\u201cFine\u2026But I\u2019m telling you now, if Sandburg dumps me, I\u2019m never talking to you or Simon again,\u201d Jim said despairingly.<\/p>\n
They all three walked into Simon\u2019s office and informed him that they would take the case on. Simon was thrilled and said, \u201cIt\u2019ll take a few days to set it up, but then I\u2019ll call you and you won\u2019t have much notice. We need to get some pictures of Ellison and Connor together for the ad we\u2019re going to run. Go ahead and take the time off now to be with each other and Connor, you must have someone to tell, also, right?\u201d Simon asked. <\/p>\n
\u201cYes, I have someone to tell and he\u2019s not going to be happy about it,\u201d Connor said realizing how much she would miss Mason. <\/p>\n
Blair said, \u201cHow about if Mason and I hang out together while you two are gone so that we won\u2019t be so alone?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cChief, I don\u2019t want you doing something you don\u2019t want to do,\u201d Jim said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to-really I do. I can keep him sane and he can help me keep sane. We might be able to help each other,\u201d Blair explained. <\/p>\n
Simon said, \u201cHe\u2019s got a point Ellison. He always has one and they\u2019re almost always right.\u201d<\/p>\n
Blair smiled and looked over at Jim. Jim smiled back and said, \u201cIf you\u2019re sure you don\u2019t mind me doing this, I\u2019m okay with you helping Johnson.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, I\u2019m calling him Mason. I\u2019m not calling him Johnson and he\u2019s not calling me Sandburg.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSandy, he calls you Blair.\u201d Megan reminded him. <\/p>\n
\u201cI know, I was just making a point about first names, I don\u2019t want Jim getting all weird on me because I call him Mason.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not going to get all weird on you. Oh who am I kidding? I\u2019m going to be a mess by the time we leave,\u201d Jim admitted freely. <\/p>\n
Simon repeated, \u201cEveryone is off until I call you in. Let\u2019s get those pictures taken. Go have some down time and we\u2019ll talk when the time comes.\u201d<\/p>\n
The three of them left Simon\u2019s office quietly and Rafe and Brown were trying to figure out what was going on. They knew better than to ask about it. They wondered why Simon had been taking pictures of Ellison and Connor. <\/p>\n
They all went down to the parking garage and said their goodbye\u2019s to each other and went their separate ways.<\/p>\n
<<<>>><\/p>\n
Jim was very quiet on the drive home. Blair wasn\u2019t sure this was a good thing, or a bad thing. He just let Jim be, he knew Jim would talk to him when he felt like it. <\/p>\n
<<<>>><\/p>\n
Megan Connor didn\u2019t know how she was going to bring this up to her new lover. They had only been together for three months and now she had to leave him for up to six weeks? Oh this might get ugly. She really hoped that he wouldn\u2019t just dump her because she was madly in love with him and hoped he felt the same way. They hadn\u2019t really discussed that yet. Maybe it was time. <\/p>\n
<<<>>><\/p>\n
When Jim walked through the front door of the loft, he sighed. He was never so glad to be home in his life. And soon he would have to leave this home for up to six weeks. <\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m sorry I\u2019m being so moody,\u201d Jim said quietly. <\/p>\n
Just as quietly, Blair answered, \u201cJim, you know I\u2019m here whenever you feel like talking.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd what if I feel like doing something other than talking,\u201d Jim said suggestively. <\/p>\n
\u201cThen I would say, I\u2019ll meet you upstairs. Give me a few minutes to get ready.\u201d Blair made a mad dash towards the bathroom with Jim smiling at him. <\/p>\n
I\u2019m the luckiest son-of-a-bitch in the world.<\/i><\/p>\n
Jim walked slowly up the stairs and began to strip down. He knew this night was important, it could be one of their last nights together. <\/p>\n
Jim lay on the bed waiting for Blair, naked and ready for his lover. Tonight was going to be the best night they had ever had, Jim was going to be certain of that. <\/p>\n
<<<>>><\/p>\n
Megan Connor walked in the front door of her house and smiled when she saw Mason cooking dinner. He was fantastic, in and out of bed. Megan walked over to him and kissed him soundly. <\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not complaining, but what was that for?\u201d Mason asked sweetly. <\/p>\n
\u201cI love you,\u201d Megan admitted quietly. <\/p>\n
\u201cWow, and I was going to tell you tonight, whether we were ready or not. You ruined my surprise. I love you, too,\u201d Mason said with much warmth. <\/p>\n
\u201cWhy did we wait so long?\u201d Megan wondered aloud. <\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know, Megan, but I\u2019m glad we came to our senses. I\u2019d like to move in with you if you\u2019re game.\u201d Mason hoped that they would be on the same page about this. <\/p>\n
\u201cI have something to talk to you about, but first I would love to have you move in with me.\u201d Megan kissed him again. <\/p>\n
\u201cWhat do you need to tell me?\u201d Mason asked. <\/p>\n
Megan began to tell him all about the undercover assignment in Seattle and told him who she would be working with and what could happen if the situation were forced on them. He sat and listened quietly and didn\u2019t say a word until she was done. <\/p>\n
\u201cFirst of all, this is an assignment, so you don\u2019t have much say in it. If you have to pretend you\u2019re married, then so be it. I would rather have you sleep with Ellison then be uncovered by the bad guys,\u201d Mason said very logically. <\/p>\n
\u201cIs it because of what happens in Vice? Because I don\u2019t like this at all. I don\u2019t feel comfortable doing it, but it\u2019s my job so I feel like I have to.\u201d Connor was bearing her soul. <\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, Vice cops understand probably more than you will ever guess. That\u2019s probably why Jim Ellison is fighting it. You tell him that I\u2019ll keep an eye on Blair while he\u2019s gone and not to worry about a thing. In fact, I\u2019ll have him over for dinner a lot and we can whine to each other, while drinking wine.\u201d Mason hoped he was helping Megan with the wine joke. <\/p>\n
\u201cHow about us showing each other how much we mean to each other right now?\u201d Megan asked. <\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re on.\u201d Both of them walked to the bedroom, kissing the entire way. This was going to be a good night. Both of them were going to make sure of it. <\/p>\n
<<<>>><\/p>\n
Jim was lying in bed, holding his most prized possession. Blair Sandburg meant more to Jim than anything. And he had to tell him tonight. <\/p>\n
\u201cI know I don\u2019t tell you I love you very often, I\u2019m sorry about that. But I do love you. I love you very much.\u201d Jim was rambling. <\/p>\n
Blair scooted over closer to Jim and began to kiss him again. \u201cI love you too. You mean the world to me. You have to promise to keep yourself and Megan safe so that you\u2019ll both come back to us,\u201d Blair said, almost sadly. <\/p>\n
\u201cI want you to understand that I would never sleep around on you for anything, but if things get too close, we might have to, in order to save our cover. Do you understand that? And can you live with that?\u201d Jim asked. <\/p>\n
\u201cSo, if they\u2019re taping you, you have to pretend that you\u2019re making love? You can do that,\u201d Blair said as calmly as he could. <\/p>\n
\u201cBlair, chances are they\u2019ll have the room bugged and with video. They\u2019re probably not going to take any chances. So I\u2019m telling you up front, that we might have to do this.\u201d Jim wanted Blair to tell him no. He wished Blair wouldn\u2019t allow him to go. <\/p>\n
\u201cJim, this is important and you have a chance to save some lives. How many lives, aren\u2019t even important. Even if it\u2019s one, it\u2019s enough. I love you and I\u2019ll forgive anything that happens undercover. You won\u2019t be in control of that.\u201d Blair hoped Jim understood him. <\/p>\n
\u201cBlair, will you still be friends with Connor afterwards? It\u2019s something she\u2019ll be worrying about too,\u201d Jim wondered. <\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll always be friends with Connor. I love her as a friend and she loves me. I know she wouldn\u2019t do anything to hurt me on purpose. If it\u2019s for the job, it\u2019s for the job. Things will be just fine,\u201d Blair supposed. <\/p>\n
\u201cI love you, Blair.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd I love you, Jim.\u201d Blair curled up as close as he could and began to fall asleep. He didn\u2019t want to sleep, he wanted to make love to Jim, but his brain wasn\u2019t listening to his heart. That would have to wait until tomorrow. <\/p>\n
<<<>>><\/p>\n
Simon talked with the Captain in charge in Seattle and they got everything all set up. It was going to be sooner than they planned. The pictures had been placed in the ad right away. Jim was going to be looking for work with some Arian influences, and that\u2019s where they would start. Everyone knew that the men that were running this mess were Arian and wouldn\u2019t put up with anyone that was gay. They had given Jim a post office box and they would await the first answer. Jim would have to be there quickly once they called him. Jim was also going to have a throw away phone. He couldn\u2019t be linked back to the PD, so this was the best way. Simon got him and Connor both a throw away and had them ready to go. <\/p>\n
Simon had to stop off at Jim\u2019s loft to give him the phone and the info they had so far. When he knocked, he was surprised that Jim didn\u2019t answer it before he knocked, but then he saw the tired look on his face and knew he had been sleeping. <\/p>\n
\u201cI have your new cell phone. Here is the number, memorize it and Connor has the same number except for the last number, it\u2019s a one instead of a zero. You can call each other as often as you like because they\u2019ll probably be checking to see if you make any calls to anyone else.\u201d<\/p>\n
Simon then explained everything Jim would need to know about Jim Mason. They figured that would be a good name in case Connor slipped up and called him Mason instead of Jim. He showed him a copy of his resume for a job with this company and Jim almost laughed, if it wouldn\u2019t have been so serious. The resume was nothing like Jim Ellison was, that was for sure. Everything was set, including Social Security cards, driver\u2019s licenses and birth certificates. They were all set. They used Jim and Connor\u2019s pictures from the old licenses and went with them. Jim was beginning to believe in this story himself. <\/p>\n
Simon said, \u201cI have to get this other phone over to Connor, so we\u2019ll talk to you tomorrow. I\u2019ll fill her in on what\u2019s going on in case they call her first. You just never know.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cTalk to you tomorrow, Simon.\u201d Jim shut the door after Simon left and looked upstairs to see a sad looking Blair watching him. <\/p>\n
Jim walked up the stairs and knew that Blair was going to have to make his claim before he left. Jim wasn\u2019t all that comfortable being a bottom, but he would do this for Blair. He needed it. <\/p>\n
When Jim got upstairs, Blair said, \u201cMake love to me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jim was shocked-he thought for sure Blair would want to take control for a little while. But Jim was more than happy to make love to Blair, so he got the supplies out and started getting Blair ready. <\/p>\n
\u201cI love you, Jim.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI love you, Blair.\u201d<\/p>\n
That was the last of the talking for the evening. Jim made love to Blair, not meaningless sex, but mind blowing, earth shattering sex. Jim wanted Blair to remember him just in case this would be the last time they were together.<\/p>\n
<<<>>><\/p>\n
At 5:00 a.m. the cell phone rang. Jim grabbed it quickly and said, \u201cMason.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cJim Mason?\u201d the voice asked. <\/p>\n
\u201cYes, who is this?\u201d Jim asked. <\/p>\n
\u201cThis is Mark Martin from Pale Trading. You put in an application and resume with us and I\u2019m calling to say that you have the job if you want it. We have a house for you and your wife to rent until you get settled. When would you like to come and see us?\u201d Mark Martin asked. <\/p>\n
\u201cI can come today, if you would like me too. My wife would like to see the house, if you don\u2019t mind,\u201d Jim said calmly. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ll expect you by 4:00 today. Feel free to call us at 555-1234. You can ask all of your questions when we see you,\u201d Martin added. <\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll see you at 4:00. Thank you for calling so quickly.\u201d Jim decided he better sound a little happier if he wanted this to fly. <\/p>\n
\u201cSee you then. Goodbye.\u201d Martin hung up and Jim closed his cell phone. <\/p>\n
Blair looked at him and sadly said, \u201cSo you have to leave today?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, Blair, I do.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cGod, I don\u2019t want you to go, now that the time is here,\u201d Blair said even more sadly then he had sounded before. <\/p>\n
\u201cI have to call Connor and warn her in case they call her.\u201d Jim picked up his old cell phone and called Connor. <\/p>\n
\u201cConnor.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cConnor, I have to get used to calling you Megan. They want us today, so in case they call you, we\u2019re going to be there by 4:00. They have a house for us and a job for me. So, just in case someone calls you, I want you to know what\u2019s going on. Don\u2019t use that cell phone for anything but calling me,\u201d Jim advised. <\/p>\n
\u201cGot it, Jim. We\u2019re now the Mason\u2019s and we\u2019re going to be there by 4:00. Who do we meet up for giving reports to?\u201d Connor asked. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re supposed to pass notes about our progress to the cops that come and man-handle Martin once a week. It\u2019s always going to be the same two cops. Simon said we would spot them easily because they remind him of Rafe and Brown. One is black and the other is fancy, ancy white. They\u2019ll pull us out if they need to. We just have to say the word.\u201d Jim was nervous, suddenly. He hated being undercover and now poor Megan had to be there too. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ll see you in a couple of hours, then we\u2019ll drive up there and have some time to spare. How does that sound, Jim?\u201d Megan asked nervously. <\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s perfect. I\u2019ll be over in two hours. That\u2019ll give us both time to say our goodbye\u2019s to Mason and Blair.\u201d Jim closed his cell and looked at his unhappy partner. <\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re the one that told me to do this, Blair.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI know, I\u2019m just wondering what I was on at the time.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you want me out?\u201d Jim asked almost losing patience. <\/p>\n
\u201cNo\u2026You have to do it, I just don\u2019t have to like it.\u201d Blair pulled him down to the bed for a kiss and they both got their motors running. <\/p>\n
\u201cTry not to fuck her, okay?\u201d Blair asked. <\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll try.\u201d Jim didn\u2019t promise. <\/p>\n
\u201cUnder the covers, a lot can be hidden,\u201d Blair suggested. <\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re right, we\u2019ll try that. Don\u2019t worry so much,\u201d Jim said as he started to make love to Blair again. <\/p>\n
<<<>>><\/p>\n
\u201cWhen you\u2019re under the covers, you can pretend you\u2019re making love, so you don\u2019t actually have penetration. Think about that, okay?\u201d Mason asked his love. <\/p>\n
\u201cGood idea, we\u2019ll try that and see how it works,\u201d Megan agreed. <\/p>\n
\u201cNow let me remind you of what you\u2019re going to be missing,\u201d Mason said as he started to make love to the woman of his dreams. He didn\u2019t realize how much he loved her until right that moment. <\/p>\n
Their mouths and bodies were very busy and Mason told her about ten times how much he loved her. Megan Connor was thrilled. She finally got the man of her dreams. <\/p>\n
<<<>>><\/p>\n
Jim and Blair drove over to Connor\u2019s house and Jim said, \u201cYou take good care of this truck, do you understand?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you really worried about the truck?\u201d Blair asked smiling. <\/p>\n
\u201cNo\u2026I\u2019m just going to miss you like crazy and that was easier to say,\u201d Jim admitted. <\/p>\n
When they drove up, Connor was waiting outside with her suitcase. The new car was waiting for them by the curb. Jim was at least glad it was an SUV. He liked big vehicles and really liked that one. <\/p>\n
Connor got teary eyed when she said goodbye to Mason and Blair got teary eyed when he said goodbye to Jim. Jim was stoic as usual, but felt like crying if that counted for anything. He would have to tell Megan that later. <\/p>\n
They got their suitcases put in the back seat and they both got in and drove off. <\/p>\n
Blair looked lost and Mason put his arm around Blair\u2019s shoulder and said, \u201cCome on in, I\u2019ve made us a nice lunch. We\u2019ll talk and you\u2019ll feel better.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019ve done this before?\u201d Blair asked. <\/p>\n
\u201cWaiting? No\u2026 I\u2019m usually on the other end,\u201d Mason said smiling. <\/p>\n
The two men walked into the house and had a nice lunch and began their life without their mates.<\/p>\n
<<<>>><\/p>\n
\u201cDo you think Sandy is all right?\u201d Megan asked. <\/p>\n
\u201cMegan, he\u2019s fine. Let\u2019s discuss the case. Why is it so important that I have a wife? I mean why would they care?\u201d Jim wondered. <\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know. I\u2019m sure we\u2019ll find out. Maybe they\u2019ll blackmail you into doing something. They might use me as leverage.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWho knows? Megan, you might want to sit next to me, from now on, we\u2019re supposed to be married and in love.\u201d Jim said almost laughing at the look on her face. <\/p>\n
\u201cWhat? It said somewhere on the resume, do you love your wife?\u201d Megan questioned. <\/p>\n
\u201cActually they did ask if we were happily married, which I have never seen on an application or anything else before. Are we going to be able to be happy enough?\u201d Jim asked. <\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll make it believable. Don\u2019t you worry about it, Jim.\u201d She leaned into him and closed her eyes. <\/p>\n
\u201cTired?\u201d Jim asked. <\/p>\n
\u201cYou wouldn\u2019t believe. Mason made love to me all night long,\u201d Megan admitted. <\/p>\n
\u201cOh before I forget, once we get there, they\u2019ll probably put a bug in the SUV, so just watch what you say and do around them,\u201d Jim warned. <\/p>\n
\u201cSo why don\u2019t we have any kids yet, Jim?\u201d Megan decided they better ask questions now. <\/p>\n
\u201cHow about because we don\u2019t believe that the world needs any more mouths to feed?\u201d Jim suggested. \u201cOr we just haven\u2019t gotten around to it yet.\u201d <\/p>\n
\u201cOkay, that\u2019s good. What about family?\u201d Megan asked. <\/p>\n
\u201cYou and I are were only children and our parents already passed away, so there are no relatives. It\u2019s just the two of us,\u201d Jim said. <\/p>\n
\u201cAre we affectionate in public?\u201d Megan asked another good question. <\/p>\n
\u201cYes, I would think so. We want to look like a normal couple, so we need to hug and kiss now and then,\u201d Jim assumed. <\/p>\n
\u201cI think that\u2019s all of the questions, I have. Oh, how about this one? When you go in, do I go in too?\u201d Megan asked being a little bit nervous. <\/p>\n
\u201cI imagine we both go in, because they\u2019ll have to plant the bug in the SUV. You know they will,\u201d Jim commented. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve been married for seven years, so will we still be crazy about each other, or not so much?\u201d Megan asked. <\/p>\n
\u201cMegan, I hope to god, I\u2019m still crazy about Blair after seven years,\u201d Jim teased. <\/p>\n
\u201cOkay, so we\u2019re still in love,\u201d Megan said seriously. <\/p>\n
\u201cBefore this all starts, I want to tell you how much I appreciate you being a good friend to Blair. He enjoys your company so much and when I have to work late, it seems you\u2019re always there for him. Thank you,\u201d Jim admitted. <\/p>\n
\u201cWow, I\u2019m in shock. First of all you don\u2019t have to thank me, because he\u2019s wonderful to have as a friend. And I\u2019ve discovered you are too. You\u2019re just a little more reserved than Blair, but if I dig hard enough, I think I could find a good friend in there too,\u201d Megan observed. <\/p>\n
They continued to talk about the case all the way up to Seattle and then they parked outside of the building they were going to have to go into. <\/p>\n
They got out of the SUV and Jim turned to Megan and said, \u201cReady?\u201d<\/p>\n
Megan put her hand into his hand and said, \u201cReady as I\u2019ll ever be.\u201d<\/p>\n
Both of them smiled as they walked into the building, hand in hand awaiting the next thing they would have to do. <\/p>\n
When they got to the third floor Jim told the assistant who he was and who he needed to see. She told them to sit and wait. <\/p>\n
They sat in the waiting room and tried not to show how nervous they both were. Jim turned to Megan and whispered, \u201cAnd we\u2019re sure we\u2019re doing the right thing?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, Jim, we\u2019re doing the right thing. Calm down,\u201d Megan replied. <\/p>\n
A very tall and good looking man entered the room and said, \u201cJim Mason?\u201d<\/p>\n
Jim stood up and said, \u201cThat\u2019s me.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd this would be?\u201d He pointed to Megan. <\/p>\n
\u201cThis is my wife, Megan.\u201d Jim pulled her up off the chair to be next to him. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s good to meet you, Megan. I like to meet the wives of my new men. I\u2019m Mark Martin and I need to borrow your husband for a little while.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s very nice to meet you, also, Mr. Martin,\u201d Megan said sweetly. <\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re Australian?\u201d Mark asked. <\/p>\n
\u201cYes, I like the United States much more than Australia.\u201d Megan hoped that would be a good enough answer. This had never dawned on them. <\/p>\n
\u201cOh I\u2019m not complaining-we have quite a few wives from other countries, so it\u2019s not a biggy. I look forward to talking to you more. Now let me borrow that husband of yours and he\u2019ll be back soon,\u201d Mark said as he led Jim into his office. <\/p>\n
Connor sat down nervous for the first time. This was a little scary, Mark Martin was scary. She didn\u2019t want to cross him at any time. <\/p>\n
<<<>>><\/p>\n
\u201cSo, Jim, what brings you here?\u201d Mark asked. <\/p>\n
\u201cI needed to get to a place that was more, how do I say it nicely\u2026white. And you answered my ad in the job circular and here I am,\u201d Jim answered. <\/p>\n
\u201cDo you have children, Jim?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNot yet, we\u2019re thinking about starting now, if everything goes well,\u201d Jim replied. <\/p>\n
\u201cI noticed on your application that you were arrested once, could you tell me about it?\u201d <\/p>\n
\u201cI was accosted by a fag and he touched my arm. I had to defend myself against him and his kind. I\u2019m sorry, but this is how I feel,\u201d Jim said quickly. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe don\u2019t like fags in this little world either, so you\u2019ll be safe here. Not to worry.\u201d Mark said. <\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s good to hear, because they are everywhere it seems,\u201d Jim added. <\/p>\n
\u201cThey sure are, and believe me we\u2019re trying to get rid of some of the trash, but enough of that. Let\u2019s see what you could do for this company. You were in security? That\u2019s a good line-we have a security opening right now that would put you in charge of about 22 people. Do you think you could handle that?\u201d Mark asked. <\/p>\n
\u201cYes, I think I could handle that. My last job, I was in charge of about 11, so it wouldn\u2019t be that different, I suppose,\u201d Jim answered. <\/p>\n
\u201cAnd your wife feels the same way you do about fags?\u201d Mark asked. <\/p>\n
\u201cYes, she was appalled that one touched my arm. She made me throw the shirt away,\u201d Jim couldn\u2019t stop himself, he was on a roll now.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat kind of car do you drive, Jim?\u201d Mark totally switched gears. <\/p>\n
\u201cA Ford Expedition, why?\u201d Jim asked. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe need your keys so we can put the entry codes into the glove box for you and you\u2019re going to be busy filling out all of this paperwork,\u201d Mark said. <\/p>\n
\u201cEntry codes to what?\u201d Jim asked. <\/p>\n
\u201cTo the housing subdivision. We have a house ready for you and your wife, unless of course you don\u2019t want to be a part of this family,\u201d Mark said casually. <\/p>\n
\u201cThat would be great. My wife would love to get settled as soon as possible, so we could start planning a family,\u201d Jim responded. <\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019s very lovely,\u201d Mark said. <\/p>\n
Jim felt nervous for the first time since this had started, Martin seemed almost thrilled about having Megan around and Jim worried about that. \u201cYes, she is lovely, but she\u2019s all mine,\u201d Jim decided to put that out first thing. <\/p>\n
\u201cI get it, Jim. Not to worry. You don\u2019t share. That\u2019s good,\u201d Martin said. \u201cNow give me your keys and tell me where you are parked and I\u2019ll get you started on the paperwork.\u201d <\/p>\n
Jim told him where the SUV was and sat down to fill out all of the paperwork. He hated paperwork; he wished Megan was here to do it. <\/p>\n
\u201cWould you like your wife to come in and sit with you while you do this?\u201d Mark asked. <\/p>\n
\u201cThat would be great, thank you.\u201d Jim liked having her nearby, because he didn\u2019t trust Martin as far as he could throw him. <\/p>\n
Martin went and got Megan and she joined Jim in the conference room. As soon as Martin left, Jim took Megan into his arms and kissed her longingly. Megan responded in kind. When she finally pulled away, she said, \u201cDid you get the job?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, and they have a house for us,\u201d Jim said on cue. <\/p>\n
\u201cA house? So we don\u2019t have to start out in a little apartment somewhere? That\u2019s great, sweetheart. I love you so much.\u201d And then she kissed him again. <\/p>\n
Jim filled out the paperwork while Megan walked around the room looking out the windows. She could see three men in their SUV and figured they were putting bugs in there, so she knew they had to be careful. <\/p>\n
Jim finished his work and said, \u201cMegan, come here.\u201d<\/p>\n
Megan went and sat down next to him and they began to kiss again. Jim whispered, \u201cAre you all right?\u201d<\/p>\n
She whispered back, \u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
They began to talk about the job and everything else when Mark Martin came back into the room. <\/p>\n
\u201cWell, you\u2019re all set. You have a week off to get settled into your house and then you\u2019ll begin working with us on Monday bright and early. Does this sound good to you?\u201d Martin asked. <\/p>\n
Both Jim and Megan had stood up and they both smiled as they heard about a week off and Jim answered, \u201cThat sounds great sir, but if you need me sooner, Megan can handle the house for a few days.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cGood to hear that. I might take you up on it. Here is a map to your new house, in your glove compartment is the code to the subdivision so you can get in and out. Megan, you don\u2019t have a car yet?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNot yet, Mr. Martin,\u201d She answered. <\/p>\n
\u201cCall me Mark.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay, Mark, I haven\u2019t been able to get one yet,\u201d Megan answered. <\/p>\n
\u201cNot to worry, we have rentals for our employee\u2019s. You\u2019ll get one delivered tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy thank you,\u201d Megan said cheerily. <\/p>\n
Mark shook Jim\u2019s hand and said, \u201cWelcome aboard, Jim. We\u2019ll be talking to you soon.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you again, sir for giving me this chance,\u201d Jim said. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s Mark. Don\u2019t call me sir,\u201d Mark teased. <\/p>\n
\u201cThank you, Mark.\u201d Jim corrected himself. <\/p>\n
\u201cGo see your new home and have a good time.\u201d Mark wiggled his eyebrows when he said this and somehow this irritated Jim to no end. <\/p>\n
Jim and Megan left and went down to the SUV. Outside of the SUV, Jim kissed her and whispered, \u201cThis might be our last real conversation. So if you have anything to say, just tell me you want to work on a baby. That\u2019ll shut them all up.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay,\u201d Megan answered. <\/p>\n
<<<>>><\/p>\n
He opened the SUV and Megan got in and then he closed her door. When he got in and started the SUV he knew he heard something and it was a bug. He pointed to the dash board and smiled. Megan knew what he meant and said, \u201cI\u2019m so glad you got work, honey.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou and me both. He seems like a really nice guy and he totally understood why I got fired from my last job. He wasn\u2019t worried about it at all. I think he feels the same way we do about fags, blacks and any other race that is trying to take over our country.\u201d Jim was pouring it on thick. <\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s good honey, I know that\u2019s one of the reasons I had to leave Australia, everything was about the aborigines. I was sick of being second.\u201d Megan was pouring it on thick too. <\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m glad we\u2019re together in the States,\u201d Jim said. <\/p>\n
\u201cSo he found out about you breaking that guys arm? And he didn\u2019t care?\u201d Megan asked. <\/p>\n
\u201cNo, I don\u2019t think he did. I think he feels the same way we do about fags, so we might have a good place here. I can\u2019t wait to see the house. I can\u2019t wait to get you into the bedroom,\u201d Jim said quickly changing gears. <\/p>\n
Megan looked at Jim oddly and said, \u201cOh yes, we need to have some quiet time, just the two of us.\u201d <\/p>\n
\u201cI wonder if the shower will be big enough for two,\u201d Jim wondered aloud. <\/p>\n
\u201cI hope so,\u201d Megan said, thinking that it might be the only place they could talk without bug being able to pick up everything. <\/p>\n
They drove up to the gate and Jim punched in the access code and they drove in and found their house. It was beautiful. There was no way Jim would ever be able to afford a house this big, or this nice. He wondered what he was going to have to do for this. He became a little nervous once more. <\/p>\n
They got out of the car and Jim said, \u201cWhat do you think?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI think it\u2019s the greatest house I\u2019ve ever seen. But it\u2019s a little big, don\u2019t you think? It\u2019s going to take me all day just to clean it,\u201d Megan said hoping they were listening and would send a maid. She almost laughed at that thought. <\/p>\n
They got their suitcases and walked into the house. It was gorgeous. Big, roomy and a kitchen that both of them were going to enjoy. <\/p>\n
Jim said, \u201cWhy don\u2019t we unpack in our room and take a nice long shower.\u201d <\/p>\n
\u201cSounds good to me, sweetie,\u201d Megan answered. <\/p>\n
<<<>>><\/p>\n
Simon called Blair into his office. \u201cSit down, Sandburg.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIs something wrong?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, I just wanted to let you know that the police said they accepted Jim into their fold, he\u2019s living where the rest of the security guys live and things are going as planned. I just wanted to keep you informed,\u201d Simon said. <\/p>\n
\u201cThanks, Simon. I\u2019m a nervous wreck over all of this, but I knew he had to do it. It was the right thing to do. And Megan is his back up, she\u2019s good too,\u201d Blair admitted to Simon. <\/p>\n
\u201cOkay, get back to your work and I\u2019ll keep you posted.\u201d<\/p>\n
Blair left feeling somewhat better, but still missed his lover like crazy.<\/p>\n
<<<>><\/p>\n
Once Jim and Megan got into the bedroom, they both stripped, being somewhat embarrassed, but got into the shower and began to wash each other off. Megan was the first one to whisper, \u201cCan they hear us in here?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is no bug, just video,\u201d Jim said and kissed her. Before long he was hard as a rock and said, \u201cSorry about that.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo need to apologize. My motor is running, too,\u201d Megan said. <\/p>\n
They got out of the shower and walked into the room. Megan pulled the sheets and blanket down on the bed and they climbed in. Once they were under the covers they began to make out like crazy and pretended to make love with a lot of noise and motion. When they pretended they were done, Jim had to roll on his side, because he was still hard. But they knew they were going to have to do this from time to time. <\/p>\n
Megan got out of bed, went into the bathroom and did her hair, while still being naked. She figured they would get a good show. Jim put his boxers on and came in and said, \u201cShould we go to the grocery store?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAlways thinking about your stomach aren\u2019t you?\u201d Megan teased and he kissed her and said, \u201cNot always.\u201d<\/p>\n
They got dressed and decided to find a grocery store near them. They were just about to leave the house when Jim\u2019s cell went off.<\/p>\n
Jim answered, \u201cMason.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHi Jim, its Mark.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHi Mark, is something wrong?\u201d Jim asked pretending to be nervous. <\/p>\n
\u201cNo, everything is perfect. I forgot to tell you that we stocked the refrigerator with food for you and the pantry is full too. So you shouldn\u2019t have to go to the store for anything for awhile.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s so weird, we were just getting ready to go out. Thanks for calling and telling us. We didn\u2019t even look in the pantry or the refrigerator.\u201d <\/p>\n
\u201cGood, now just relax and on the fridge, there is a list of delivery places for when you don\u2019t feel like cooking,\u201d Mark said. <\/p>\n
\u201cThank you so much. You\u2019ve been such a help to us,\u201d Jim said nicely. <\/p>\n
\u201cNot a problem, now just go and relax and enjoy your new home. We\u2019ll probably be calling you in a few days, Jim. We could use your help a little sooner than we expected.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cGreat, I\u2019m here when you need me, Mark. Thank you again.\u201d Jim closed his cell phone and smiled at Megan. <\/p>\n
Megan knew that the smile meant, they had them where they wanted them. This might just work. <\/p>\n
While Megan made dinner, Jim looked around the living room and found a cabinet filled with movies. He noticed the Plasma tv had surround sound, so that would help for whispering to Megan later. He picked out two movies and took them into the kitchen. <\/p>\n
\u201cWhat are you making?\u201d Jim asked. <\/p>\n
\u201cThere was everything for shrimp and chicken stir fry, so it\u2019s almost done. What are the movies for?\u201d Megan asked. <\/p>\n
\u201cFor after dinner, do you like Live Free, or Die Hard?\u201d Jim asked. <\/p>\n
Megan answered, \u201cYes, I loved that movie, but what\u2019s the other one?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI haven\u2019t seen it, it\u2019s called The Holiday.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to watch that one first,\u201d Megan said sweetly. <\/p>\n
\u201cThen that\u2019s what we\u2019ll do. Man, dinner smells super good.\u201d Jim kissed Megan and she smiled. It was a real smile, one that showed how comfortable she was with Jim. <\/p>\n
Jim smiled back at her ease and said, \u201cDid you check out the television in the living room? It\u2019s really nice. Good surround sound too.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOh good, it\u2019ll be like being at the theater,\u201d Megan said as she set the table. <\/p>\n
Jim helped her bring the food over to the table and they sat down and began to eat. Dinner was nice; they talked about the house, the job and the neighborhood. Before long it was time to clean up the mess and Jim helped her do all of the dishes. They worked side by side just like he and Blair had always done and he missed Blair for the first time, very badly. <\/p>\n
Megan must have missed Mason at the very same time because she went into Jim\u2019s arms and seemed upset. He held on to her and whispered, \u201cI love you. Really, I do.\u201d<\/p>\n
She looked into his eyes and realized he meant-he loved her as a friend. That meant the world to her. She could do this. She could be strong. <\/p>\n
They went into the living room and watched The Holiday and loved it. Then they finally got up to go to bed. <\/p>\n
Once they were naked and in bed, Jim curled up to her and she tried to ignore his hard-on. He kissed her neck and she turned around and they began to make out like crazy again. This time, Megan got on top and pretended she was riding his cock. A few times she really wished she was because it was making her horny too. When they were done, they rolled on their sides and went to sleep. Well, not right to sleep, both of them were horny. <\/p>\n
<<<>>><\/p>\n
The next three days were just about like the first one. They went for drives to see what was around their house and met some of the neighbors. Everyone seemed really nice, although, they both knew they weren\u2019t. <\/p>\n
On the fourth day, Jim was about going crazy and his cell rang. <\/p>\n
\u201cMason.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHi Jim, its Mark. How would you like to help me out with a few things tonight?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSure, what did you have in mind?\u201d Jim asked. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re having some trouble with one of our businesses and we\u2019re going to be taking care of the trouble tonight. Are you in?\u201d Mark asked. <\/p>\n
\u201cCount me in. Where should I meet you?\u201d Jim asked. <\/p>\n
\u201cA man named Chris will be picking you up in about 20 minutes. Tell your lovely, lovely wife I said hello. We\u2019ll talk to you then.\u201d Mark closed his cell and got ready for the evening. <\/p>\n
Jim looked at Megan and smiled and said, \u201cThey want to take care of some business tonight.\u201d <\/p>\n
\u201cOh good, you were going stir crazy anyhow. It\u2019ll be good to get out. You can tell me all about it when you get home.\u201d She kissed him and walked into the kitchen. <\/p>\n
The doorbell rang about ten minutes later and someone named Chris was standing there waiting for Jim. He was about Jim\u2019s size, had the same haircut as Jim and was definitely an Arian brother. <\/p>\n
The drive to Mark\u2019s office was very quiet, Jim not knowing what to say because he didn\u2019t know if this guy knew anything anyhow. <\/p>\n
When they got to the office, everyone was ready except Jim. He didn\u2019t know what was going on. And this part bothered him a lot. He only hoped that the cops from Seattle were watching him. <\/p>\n
Mark said, \u201cYou ready for the big time, Jim?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know what the big time, is, Mark.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re going to get four fags out of one of our buildings and make sure they never come back.\u201d Mark explained. <\/p>\n
\u201cThen, yes, I\u2019m in,\u201d Jim replied. <\/p>\n
\u201cGood, then let\u2019s go men. And don\u2019t forget, leave no one that will tell the tale,\u201d Mark said savagely. <\/p>\n
Jim almost got goose bumps when he realized that he was with 11 men and had no backup and they were probably going to kill four gay men. Jim was starting to freak out a little bit. He wished Megan was there to be his backup. <\/p>\n
Mark handed Jim a gun and said, \u201cThis is your new piece.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t realize that we were going to shoot people,\u201d Jim said calmly. <\/p>\n
\u201cDoes this bother you?\u201d Mark asked. <\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think so. I\u2019ve never shot anyone before, though,\u201d Jim explained. <\/p>\n
\u201cThere is a first time for everything. Tonight is a big deal for you. You show us how much you are willing to do and we can go far. If you don\u2019t, you won\u2019t have a job,\u201d Mark said. <\/p>\n
\u201cSo I have to shoot someone tonight?\u201d Jim asked casually. <\/p>\n
\u201cNo, you have to kill someone tonight. One of the fags will be yours.\u201d Mark said as if he was talking about ordering take-out instead of murder. <\/p>\n
\u201cWhatever you need me to do. I take it there isn\u2019t going to be anyone there to arrest us,\u201d Jim said acting nervous for Mark\u2019s benefit. <\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t worry, there will be no cops. We\u2019ve got them busy somewhere else. Plus no one really cares about them anyhow,\u201d Mark said. <\/p>\n
They all got into the Black SUV\u2019s and drove off. Jim felt a little out of his element. At least when he was a ranger, he knew what he was going to do. Right now, he had no idea what he was going to do. He might have to hurt someone tonight and that bothered him a great deal. They had given him a silencer for his gun and he had that to worry about now. Jim looked down at the gun and saw that it was loaded, but it was loaded with blanks. He could tell by the weight of the gun. This was a test. Okay, he could do this.<\/p>\n
When they arrived, they all got out quietly and charged into the building. Jim followed and didn\u2019t seem as nervous now. He knew they were testing him. <\/p>\n
Mark said, \u201cApt number 201 has two fags in it. You\u2019re in charge of one of them, if not both of them. Are you up for this?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m ready,\u201d Jim said acting nervous for Mark again. <\/p>\n
Jim took the key he had for their apartment and opened the door. Both men were sleeping and Jim put the silencer on his gun and just like that pulled the trigger for both men in the bed. He turned around and said to Chris, \u201cLet\u2019s get out of here.\u201d <\/p>\n
The guy that had been with him, couldn\u2019t believe how Jim had done both just like that. They got back downstairs and Chris told Mark that Jim had killed them both. <\/p>\n
They all drove back to the office and Mark asked to talk to Jim alone. <\/p>\n
Jim walked into his office and said, \u201cMark, what\u2019s wrong?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNothing is wrong. You just passed the test with flying colors. There were blanks in that gun and you didn\u2019t know it. You just had your first kill, well, not actually, but it works. Here is a box of real ammo. Keep your gun loaded at all times. We\u2019ll be calling you tomorrow for the big run,\u201d Mark said as casually as ordering dinner. <\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll be ready,\u201d Jim said as he turned to leave. <\/p>\n
Chris was waiting for him and said, \u201cYou did really well tonight. We were all impressed.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI wasn\u2019t trying to impress you, I just hate them,\u201d Jim said. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe could tell,\u201d Chris agreed. <\/p>\n
When Chris dropped him off at his house, he knew they would be watching how he reacted, so he was as calm as can be when he entered his new home. <\/p>\n
\u201cHe grabbed Megan off the sofa and said, \u201cYou\u2019re mine.\u201d<\/p>\n
And they walked upstairs to the bedroom and stripped quickly. Under the covers, he pretended to make love to Megan twice and then they lay in bed ready for sleep. Megan wanted to know something about what was going on, but knew she couldn\u2019t ask. So instead she just held Jim and told him to go to sleep. She knew it must have been bad, because Jim was putting on quite a sex show. <\/p>\n
<<<>>><\/p>\n
In Cascade, Blair and Mason were having dinner and watching a movie. Both of them missed Jim and Megan so much, but doing it together, helped a great deal. <\/p>\n
\u201cDo you think they\u2019ll be gone the whole six weeks?\u201d Blair asked. <\/p>\n
\u201cNot if they\u2019re lucky,\u201d Mason said. <\/p>\n
\u201cSo they could be home earlier?\u201d Blair asked. <\/p>\n
\u201cBlair, we\u2019ll just play this by ear. I don\u2019t know how long it will take to get back. All I know if that I miss sleeping in our bed.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cTell me about it, Mason. I\u2019ve been sleeping on the sofa since they left,\u201d Blair admitted. <\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m a little nervous because I think this guy is really dangerous for both of them, but I think they can handle themselves all right,\u201d Mason hoped. <\/p>\n
\u201cGod, I miss him sleeping with me,\u201d Blair said longingly. <\/p>\n
\u201cI know what you mean. She\u2019s all I can think of these days. I keep getting in trouble at work, because I\u2019m not keeping my mind on work,\u201d Mason said sadly. <\/p>\n
\u201cWell, you better get home before you don\u2019t get any sleep. We\u2019ll see you tomorrow night. I\u2019m making meatloaf and mashed potatoes and gravy. How does that sound?\u201d Blair asked. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt sounds great, Blair. Thank you for doing all the cooking. I\u2019m not as good at it as Megan is,\u201d Mason said thankfully. <\/p>\n
Mason left and Blair went upstairs to get one of Jim\u2019s pillows to sleep with. At least he would have the Jim scent he needed. Blair refused to whack off, because he figured he would wait for Jim. So the pillow was going to have to do for now. <\/p>\n
<<<>>> <\/p>\n
The following day, they went for a walk and Jim whispered what had happened and Megan was shocked. <\/p>\n
\u201cSo tonight might be the night?\u201d Megan asked. <\/p>\n
\u201cYes, I think it will be. If I don\u2019t make it out alive, I want you to know how great it\u2019s been working with you and just to know you. You\u2019re a good friend,\u201d Jim said very seriously. <\/p>\n
\u201cJim, don\u2019t think like that. You\u2019re going to be fine. Just pretend to kill someone and make sure they\u2019re quiet about it. And then they can tell the police.\u201d Megan suggested. <\/p>\n
\u201cThey might shoot me because I don\u2019t kill the person,\u201d Jim worried. <\/p>\n
\u201cJim, do you want out now?\u201d Megan decided she would ask. <\/p>\n
\u201cNo, there is always a chance that this might work,\u201d Jim replied. <\/p>\n
\u201cAre you sure about this?\u201d Now Megan was nervous. <\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, I\u2019m sure. Everything will work out fine.\u201d Jim pulled her into a hug and then he kissed her. <\/p>\n
\u201cI know why Blair likes kissing you; you\u2019re one hell of a kisser,\u201d Megan said laughing. <\/p>\n
\u201cThank you.\u201d Jim blushed. <\/p>\n
\u201cHave I mentioned how much I hate being the wife?\u201d Megan asked seriously. <\/p>\n
\u201cI know, you hate missing the action. I\u2019m sorry. I\u2019d take you along if I could,\u201d Jim assured her. <\/p>\n
\u201cI know, this can\u2019t be over soon enough. I need some sex,\u201d Megan teased. <\/p>\n
Jim blushed and said, \u201cSorry about that.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNot your fault that we\u2019re with the wrong people. I hope they know how hard this has been for us,\u201d Megan supposed. <\/p>\n
Jim laughed and said, \u201cWe don\u2019t even want to bring this up to them.\u201d <\/p>\n
They held each others hands and walked back to the house and started dinner. <\/p>\n
The evening wore on and Jim still didn\u2019t hear anything from Mark. He was getting worried that they found out who he was when his cell went off.<\/p>\n
\u201cHello?\u201d Jim answered. <\/p>\n
\u201cHi Jim, are you ready for a big night?\u201d Mark asked. <\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not only ready, but looking forward to it. It did something to me last night. I felt wonderful.\u201d Jim pretended. <\/p>\n
\u201cGood, I\u2019m glad to hear it. Chris will pick you up again and this time, there are no blanks,\u201d Mark advised. <\/p>\n
\u201cUnderstood,\u201d Jim said quietly. <\/p>\n
\u201cChris will be there in about five minutes. Be ready.\u201d Mark hung up just like that. <\/p>\n
Jim turned to Megan and said, \u201cHoney, I have to go out for a short time tonight. I\u2019ll be back early if I can.\u201d<\/p>\n
Chris showed up as expected and Jim got into his SUV. <\/p>\n
\u201cWhere are we going?\u201d Jim asked. <\/p>\n
\u201cTo the park. Did you put your silencer on your gun?\u201d Chris asked. <\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, why?\u201d Jim played stupid. <\/p>\n
\u201cThere are four or five couples of fags there and we\u2019re going to make sure that fags don\u2019t frequent any park by our homes again,\u201d Chris said. <\/p>\n
When they pulled up, Jim said, \u201cWhere to?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBehind the bushes, they don\u2019t even hide anymore. I\u2019ll take this side and you take that side. They can\u2019t talk later, do you understand?\u201d Chris asked. <\/p>\n
\u201cUnderstood,\u201d Jim said flatly. <\/p>\n
Jim walked over to the bushes and sure enough there were two gay couples making out. He said, \u201cOn the ground now.\u201d<\/p>\n
All four of them got on the ground quickly as soon as they saw Jim\u2019s gun. <\/p>\n
\u201cNow listen to me and listen good. I\u2019m a cop, I need you to be quiet. When I shoot, you lie on the ground and play dead. My friend is going to check on you and you have to be dead. Do you understand?\u201d Jim asked forcefully. <\/p>\n
They all shook their heads yes. Jim heard four shots to the left and knew it was time. He shot four shots and they all were shaking, but lying still on the ground. <\/p>\n
Chris walked over and said, \u201cGood job, now let\u2019s get out of here.\u201d<\/p>\n
As they were walking to the SUV, the cops rolled in. Chris cussed under his breath and said, \u201cYou can\u2019t let them take you alive.\u201d<\/p>\n
Chris aimed the gun at Jim and Jim shot him first. Chris couldn\u2019t believe how quickly Jim reacted. He didn\u2019t realize that Jim would know what he had planned to do. When the cops got out of the car, they were shouting for him to put his gun down. Jim did just that. Chris lie on the pavement bleeding to death and Jim didn\u2019t much care at that moment. <\/p>\n
The four men that Jim had saved, came running out of the bushes and told the cops what Jim had done. One cop said, \u201cYou\u2019re undercover?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, and my partner is at risk right now. We have to get her out of there.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jim gave them the address and they sent a car out for Megan to be picked up. She was there and couldn\u2019t believe how fast this had gone down. Things were going as planned for a change. But the cops didn\u2019t have any information about Jim and she worried that he had been shot or something. <\/p>\n
As they drove up to the scene Megan got out of the car and went running up to Jim. They hugged and the cops gave them a questioning look. <\/p>\n
Jim shrugged and said, \u201cWe\u2019re good friends and she was worried about me. She\u2019s just glad I\u2019m alive.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAh.\u201d One cop said and they all smiled. <\/p>\n
The EMT\u2019s pronounced the four men in the bushes that Chris had shot, dead. Then they pronounced Chris dead. Jim was very lucky indeed. <\/p>\n
Captain Mayer showed up and said, \u201cI\u2019m going to take you downtown for debriefing. Let\u2019s get this show on the road. We\u2019ve been trying to get him for years, now we\u2019ll be able to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jim and Megan rode downtown with him and were relieved to get to the station in one piece. Jim really did expect to see the guys he worked with come by and shoot them. It was just going down too well for anything like this. <\/p>\n
<<<>>><\/p>\n
Simon called Blair with the news.<\/p>\n
\u201cSandburg.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cJim got them. He\u2019s going to be in Seattle for another week, but he got them and they\u2019re safe and sound. Do you know where Lt. Johnson is?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s here, Simon. I\u2019ll tell him as soon as we get off the phone. Could we go up to Seattle and be with them for this?\u201d Blair asked. <\/p>\n
\u201cYou can because I\u2019m giving you the next week off, but I can\u2019t give it to Johnson, his boss has to do that.\u201d Simon explained, smiling at Blair attitude sometimes. <\/p>\n
\u201cThanks, Simon. I\u2019ll tell him the news and we\u2019ll try and get out of here tonight.\u201d Blair closed his cell phone and smiled at Mason. <\/p>\n
\u201cMason, call your boss and ask if you can have the next week off. We\u2019re going to Seattle.\u201d Blair blurted out. <\/p>\n
Mason got right on the phone and asked his boss for personal time off and got it. He said, \u201cI\u2019m going to run home to pack and then we\u2019ll go see about flights, or should we just drive?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cLet\u2019s drive, we\u2019ll be up there in less than two hours, we can do this. I\u2019ll pack and be ready in no time. Do you have a car big enough to hold all four of us coming home?\u201d Blair asked as he pulled out a suitcase. <\/p>\n
\u201cYup, I\u2019ll be back in a half-hour. Be ready, or I leave your ass behind,\u201d Mason teased. <\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll be ready,\u201d Blair shouted as he ran for the stairs. <\/p>\n
Mason smiled as he walked off to the car. He couldn\u2019t wait to see Megan. He hoped that she didn\u2019t have to do anything she didn\u2019t want to do. God, did he hope. <\/p>\n
<<<>>><\/p>\n
As Blair packed he wondered if Jim and Megan had to have sex. I mean, if they did, it was for the job and that was understandable. But did he really understand that? No, Blair was quite sure that he didn\u2019t. Get a grip Sandburg, you\u2019re going to see your lover after six days, this is a good thing.<\/i><\/p>\n
Blair finished packing, locked up the loft and waited downstairs for Mason to show up. Mason was there in 15 minutes, so Blair was glad he had finished quickly too. <\/p>\n
He got into Mason\u2019s car and said, \u201cWe\u2019re off?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd we\u2019re going to Seattle, too,\u201d Mason kidded. <\/p>\n
The drive to Seattle was filled with talk about their lovers and how much they missed them. Before long they were there and realized they didn\u2019t know where Jim and Megan were staying. <\/p>\n
Blair pulled out his cell and called Simon. \u201cDo you happen to know where Jim and Connor are staying?\u201d<\/p>\n
Simon laughed and said, \u201cAs a matter of fact, Jim just called me and told me he couldn\u2019t reach you so he figured I might know where you were. He couldn\u2019t remember your cell phone number because the cell phone he has doesn\u2019t have it in the memory.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOh he\u2019s going to get it for forgetting me,\u201d Blair teased. <\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019re staying at the Marriot one block past the station downtown. Are you at the station now?\u201d Simon asked. <\/p>\n
\u201cYes, we\u2019re at the downtown station. Mason knew where it was,\u201d Blair said. <\/p>\n
\u201cWell, do you see a big tall Marriot one block away?\u201d Simon asked. <\/p>\n
\u201cI do, I see it. What room?\u201d Blair was bouncing in place. <\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019re in adjoining rooms. 310 and 312. Have fun. See you in a week.\u201d Simon hung up the phone and was thrilled that this had gone like it did. It could have been worse and Simon would have dreaded telling Blair bad news. Thank god for happy endings.<\/i><\/p>\n
<<<>>><\/p>\n
Jim was taking a shower and Megan was still trying to reach Mason. She had no idea if he knew this was over or not. But she sure missed his voice and wanted to hear it. There was a knock at the door and she looked through the peep hole and squealed with delight. She threw open the door and flew into Mason\u2019s arms. <\/p>\n
\u201cI love you so much, Megan,\u201d Mason said hurriedly as he was kissing her. <\/p>\n
\u201cAnd I love you,\u201d Megan replied kissing him back. <\/p>\n
\u201cI hate to interrupt, but where is Jim?\u201d Blair asked. <\/p>\n
\u201cEllison is next door taking a shower.\u201d Megan pointed in the direction of the door in her room. Blair opened it and walked in and heard the shower going. He shut the door and started to strip. He couldn\u2019t wait to see Jim naked. <\/p>\n
Jim was washing his hair in the shower thinking about Blair, making him hard as a rock when he heard Blair\u2019s heartbeat in the next room. I take it he knows I\u2019m here.<\/i> Jim rinsed his hair out and waited for a naked Blair to come through the door. He didn\u2019t have long to wait and Blair was in the shower within moments. <\/p>\n
They began to kiss and Jim sucked on Blair\u2019s neck some, because he could. No other reason why, just because he could. <\/p>\n
\u201cI missed you so much,\u201d Blair said panting with need. <\/p>\n
\u201cYou have no idea how much I missed you, you\u2019ll never know and I\u2019m never going undercover again. I didn\u2019t like not being able to talk with you every night like we do.\u201d Jim kissed him some more. <\/p>\n
\u201cLet\u2019s get out of here and make love,\u201d Blair suggested. <\/p>\n
Both men got out and dried off. Blair almost ran into the bedroom to slip into the nice clean sheets. Jim just sat and watched that fine ass move, and it made his day. <\/p>\n
Jim moved up Blair\u2019s body, kissing and nipping as he went. Blair was moaning with need and they were just getting started. Jim stopped for a moment and said, \u201cDid you bring lube?\u201d<\/p>\n
Blair said, \u201cDuh.\u201d He jumped off the bed and got a bottle of lube out of his suitcase. \u201cHere you go, big boy.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jim started stretching Blair so that they would both have fun. If Jim had his way, he would just fuck him and that would be that. He was that horny. But he had enough sense to know he couldn\u2019t do that, so he was loosening up his lover and getting harder by the moment. <\/p>\n
\u201cJim, fuck me,\u201d Blair pleaded. <\/p>\n
\u201cI am,\u201d Jim said as he began to suck on Blair\u2019s cock, taking almost the entire thing into his mouth. <\/p>\n
\u201cI want to come with you in me,\u201d Blair whined. <\/p>\n
Jim stopped sucking and began to pull Blair\u2019s legs up around his waist and then started to push into Blair\u2019s anus. Blair began moaning with passion, making Jim want to come right then, but he knew he had to make this special for Blair, so he slowed down. He began to kiss Blair\u2019s neck, making Blair insane with need. Jim started working up a rhythm that Blair soon got the hang of and before long they both were ready to come. Without any warning, Blair came shouting Jim\u2019s name and after three more thrusts, Jim came into Blair. <\/p>\n
They just laid there getting their breath back and finally Jim started to slip out of Blair and he cleaned them both up. Once he was done, he snuggled up next to his lover and fell asleep. Blair didn\u2019t go to sleep, he watched his lover sleep instead. He wondered if Jim was still all his-or he had to share him with Connor, but he decided not to ask him now. <\/p>\n
\u201cNo, I didn\u2019t sleep with her,\u201d Jim said softly. <\/p>\n
\u201cReally?\u201d Blair asked. <\/p>\n
\u201cReally, we pretended under the covers and it made us crazy, but we stayed away from sex. I just wanted you to know.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you,\u201d Blair said and started to fall asleep in Jim\u2019s arms. <\/p>\n
<<<>>><\/p>\n
\u201cSo you didn\u2019t have to have sex with Ellison?\u201d Mason asked Connor. <\/p>\n
\u201cNope, we were good-we pretended under the covers and walked around naked a lot, but no sex. No way. That\u2019s for you and me,\u201d She said happily. <\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m glad to hear it, although it didn\u2019t bother me in the least as you could tell by our lovemaking. I evidentially don\u2019t care if you did or not,\u201d Mason explained. <\/p>\n
\u201cYou cared; you just would have understood if we had. But no need to worry about it now, baby,\u201d Connor said still smiling. <\/p>\n
\u201cWhat was the best part of this whole thing?\u201d Mason asked. <\/p>\n
Connor smiled and said, \u201cIt was knowing you would be here for me when we got done and also becoming friends with Jim Ellison. I never thought I would call him a friend, but he is.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s a very unlikely friend, that\u2019s for sure,\u201d Mason said as he cuddled up to Connor. <\/p>\n
<<<>>><\/p>\n
The next day, the police called Jim on his cell and told him they needed him for the day. So an unhappy man had to get up and get ready to go to the station house without Blair. <\/p>\n
\u201cAre you sure I can\u2019t go?\u201d Blair asked. <\/p>\n
\u201cNo, I don\u2019t want you anywhere around Martin. I\u2019ll be there most of the day with all of the questions from the DA, but I\u2019ll be back in time for dinner. Maybe you could have lunch with Johnson while Connor is with me,\u201d Jim suggested. <\/p>\n
\u201cOkay, I guess it\u2019s something you have to do,\u201d Blair supposed. <\/p>\n
Jim called Connor on her cell and said, \u201cRise and shine, we have to be at the station in a half-hour. So get your butt in gear. Tell Johnson that he and Blair can spend the day together and hang out until dinner. Then we can all have dinner together.\u201d Jim loved pretending he was in charge. <\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll be ready in ten.\u201d Connor said back and closed her cell. <\/p>\n
Blair said, \u201cI love how you make plans for me. I\u2019m a big boy-I know how to take care of myself. And right now I\u2019m going to take a shower.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jim\u2019s cell went off and he looked down and saw it was Simon and answered. \u201cHello Simon.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHi Jim, do they know when you\u2019ll be coming back?\u201d Simon asked hopefully. <\/p>\n
\u201cNo, not yet. It might be longer than a week, then we\u2019ll have to come back for the hearing three months from now, or more. We\u2019ll just have to play it by ear. Is everything all right there?\u201d Jim asked. <\/p>\n
\u201cEverything is fine, besides being down three people in my bullpen. I want you three back soon, damn it. I might bring Blair back sooner.\u201d Simon brought it up to see what Jim would say.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou told him he could have a week. He\u2019s here and he won\u2019t want to leave,\u201d Jim assured him. <\/p>\n
\u201cWell, sometimes life gets in the way, and I need Sandburg back here as soon as possible,\u201d Simon blustered. <\/p>\n
\u201cFine, I\u2019ll tell him, but don\u2019t be surprised if you get a call from him. In fact, let me tell him now,\u201d Jim offered. <\/p>\n
\u201cNo, tell him when he\u2019s in a good mood and then tell him to get back with me. I want him back here first thing in the morning,\u201d Simon ordered. <\/p>\n
Jim closed his cell without even saying goodbye. He was one pissed off camper. Now he had to tell Blair what was going on. <\/p>\n
He walked into the bathroom and Blair was blow drying his hair. \u201cWhat\u2019s up? I thought you and Connor were going to the station?\u201d<\/p>\n
Jim said calmly, \u201cThat was Simon on the phone and come to find out he needs you back in Cascade right away.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat? He told me I could have a week,\u201d Blair yelled. <\/p>\n
\u201cWell, he got yelled at from the Commissioner about having too many people gone at once, so he needs you back, as of tomorrow morning,\u201d Jim explained. <\/p>\n
\u201cAnd I suppose you\u2019re fine with that?\u201d Blair blurted out. <\/p>\n
Jim glared at him and said, \u201cNo I\u2019m not fine with that. You just got here, I don\u2019t want you to leave, but it\u2019s the job.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cCan we at least have dinner tonight and make love once more before I have to go back?\u201d Blair asked pitifully.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou got it. I\u2019ll try not to be too long at the station with Connor. You stay put, read, do whatever, but wait to do anything fun until I\u2019m here,\u201d Jim teased. <\/p>\n
\u201cSounds good to me,\u201d Blair said sadly. <\/p>\n
Connor knocked for Jim and the two of them went out the door. Blair was instantly depressed thinking about going back that night to Cascade. And how was he going to get back? He didn\u2019t drive, Mason did. Maybe Jim would let him drive that rental car from the case. Damn it all to hell.<\/i><\/p>\n
<<<>>><\/p>\n
When Connor and Jim arrived at the station, they were all ready for them. The DA had a lot of questions that needed to be answered and they had a bunch of video of Jim and Connor that they had to decide if they were going to use or not. <\/p>\n
Connor found it most embarrassing to know that everyone in the DA\u2019s office had looked at those video\u2019s already. She thought it should be more private than that, but real life didn\u2019t care how private you were. <\/p>\n
Captain Mayer walked up to Jim and said, \u201cMark Martin wants to see you.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cTough, I don\u2019t have to see him,\u201d Jim answered. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe thought you might be able to talk him into not fighting the charges,\u201d Mayer said. <\/p>\n
\u201cYou must be joking, right? He\u2019s not going to listen to me. Especially when he finds out I\u2019m a gay cop from Cascade. Two things he hates worse than anything. Gay people and cops. Nope, I don\u2019t plan on seeing him, thank you very much.\u201d<\/p>\n
Connor said, \u201cJim, why don\u2019t we see him together and see what he has to say. I mean he must have something to say if he\u2019s wants to see you.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cConnor, if you want to see him, go ahead, I don\u2019t,\u201d Jim argued. <\/p>\n
\u201cWell, I certainly don\u2019t want to see him alone,\u201d She answered as she walked off to fill out more paperwork. <\/p>\n
They finally finished everything they needed to do and Captain Mayer said, \u201cYou may as well head back to Cascade and we\u2019ll call you when the time arises. It was good working with both of you, you did an excellent job. Thank you very much.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jim and Connor both smiled at the thought of being able to go back to Cascade. As they walked to the SUV that the station had picked up at the house they had been staying in, Jim said, \u201cAre you anxious to get back home? Or do you want some time off?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019d like a few days with Mason, don\u2019t you want that with Sandy?\u201d Connor asked. <\/p>\n
\u201cBlair has to be to work by tomorrow, so we\u2019ll be driving home tonight. Besides, I really like this SUV that they rented for me. It\u2019ll be a quick two hour drive at the worst.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m sorry he has to be back to work so quickly. I feel terrible about staying off myself now.\u201d Connor was feeling guilty. <\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t worry about it, if it was reversed, I would be thrilled with spending time with Blair.\u201d<\/p>\n
The drive to the hotel went quickly since it was so close and they got out and rode the elevator together. They got off on the third floor and Jim opened up his door and Connor opened up hers. \u201cSee you at dinner.\u201d Connor called out as she walked into the room. <\/p>\n
Blair was lying in bed, under the covers sleeping when Jim walked in. He slipped out of his clothing as quickly as he could and got under the sheets with naked Blair. He began to kiss his lover awake and it didn\u2019t take long at all. <\/p>\n
\u201cHey there, lover,\u201d Blair said sweetly. <\/p>\n
\u201cHey yourself,\u201d Jim answered. <\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re early, I was going to get up at 5:00 to get ready for dinner.\u201d Blair told him. <\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know how to tell you this, but it\u2019s 6:00. So we\u2019re going to have to have a late dinner. I have some news,\u201d Jim added. <\/p>\n
\u201cWhat? What\u2019s going on?\u201d Blair looked excited for a moment. He was hoping that Simon said he could stay. <\/p>\n
\u201cI get to go home tonight. I\u2019m back in Cascade as soon as you allow me to drive us home,\u201d Jim responded. <\/p>\n
\u201cHell, there won\u2019t be any fooling around here, then. We\u2019ve got the loft to fool around in, I\u2019d rather wait,\u201d Blair insisted. <\/p>\n
\u201cI was hoping you would fuck me tonight,\u201d Jim said sexily. <\/p>\n
\u201cAnd then there is that. I could do that right now.\u201d Blair said as he jumped out of bed and got the lube and went running back again. <\/p>\n
Jim lay on his back, with his legs spread apart and he looked like heaven to Blair. Blair began to suck on his cock while he loosened Jim up. He had to take his time because Jim didn\u2019t like bottoming that much, so he was tighter than Blair even remembered. <\/p>\n
After about ten minutes of this, Jim said, \u201cJust fuck me already, Sandburg.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWow, those are sexy words, man.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cJust fuck me,\u201d Jim pleaded. <\/p>\n
Blair pulled Jim\u2019s legs over each of his hips and then he guided his cock into Jim\u2019s tight channel. At first Jim moaned in pain, but it soon began to sound like he was enjoying it, so Blair went a little bit faster and harder. Before long Jim was begging. <\/p>\n
\u201cFuck me hard\u2026\u201d Jim ordered. <\/p>\n
\u201cJesus, fuck me harder.\u201d Jim had a crazed look on his face and Blair had never seen it before. This turned Blair on even more. <\/p>\n
Blair began to fuck him harder and harder and before long they both came at the same time, calling out each other\u2019s names. <\/p>\n
\u201cWhat was that all about?\u201d Blair asked. <\/p>\n
\u201cWhat?\u201d Jim asked. <\/p>\n
\u201cYou don\u2019t like to get fucked, but I swear you really enjoyed it.\u201d Blair was still dizzy from the excitement of fucking Jim. <\/p>\n
\u201cI did enjoy it. It was the best I\u2019ve ever had. I told you I would get used to it,\u201d Jim answered. <\/p>\n
\u201cWell, I loved fucking you, so anytime you want that, just let me know.\u201d Blair pulled out of Jim and got them both cleaned up. <\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m sorry I\u2019ve been such a selfish bastard,\u201d Jim insisted. <\/p>\n
\u201cIts okay, Jim. You were worth waiting for-that was fantastic.\u201d Blair was still seeing stars. <\/p>\n
\u201cAre we going to get ready and go to dinner with Johnson and Connor?\u201d Jim asked. <\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, let me call them.\u201d Blair picked up the hotel room phone and dialed their room. <\/p>\n
\u201cConnor.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHey, you guys about ready to eat? We\u2019re getting hungry. We\u2019ll meet you downstairs in the hotel restaurant. \u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ll be ready in about ten minutes. Meet you there,\u201d Connor said quickly and hung up the phone. She didn\u2019t even say goodbye. Mason was right in the middle of showing her how much he loved her. <\/p>\n
<<<>>><\/p>\n
\u201cThey better get here soon, or I\u2019m ordering without them,\u201d Jim said trying to ignore his growling stomach. <\/p>\n
Johnson and Connor walked in and sat opposite Jim and Blair and they all started laughing. <\/p>\n
\u201cIsn\u2019t it wonderful to be in love?\u201d Connor asked. <\/p>\n
\u201cYes, as a matter of fact, it is,\u201d Blair agreed. <\/p>\n
When the waitress came they ordered their drinks and some appetizers and talked about the case. The evening went well. They ate a wonderful meal, they had good company and the night was almost over. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re going to head on back to Cascade tonight,\u201d Jim said. <\/p>\n
Mason looked surprised and said, \u201cWhy?\u201d<\/p>\n
Connor said, \u201cBecause our boss is a slave driver, that\u2019s why. He won\u2019t let Sandy have any more time off then tonight. He wants him back tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBummer, dude,\u201d Johnson said with a smile. \u201cBut at least you\u2019ll both be in Cascade. We might go home tomorrow and just hang out at the house.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOh really?\u201d Connor asked. <\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, I miss our place,\u201d Mason said lovingly. <\/p>\n
\u201cOur place has such a nice ring to it.\u201d Megan kissed him passionately. <\/p>\n
\u201cOkay, this is our chance to get out of here now. We\u2019ll see you both in Cascade,\u201d Jim said as he pulled Blair out of the booth after him. <\/p>\n
<<<>>><\/p>\n
The packing and getting into the SUV were no big deal since both of them wanted to be back at the loft. <\/p>\n
Once they got onto the interstate, Blair asked, \u201cSo what made you bottom tonight?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI just felt the need.\u201d Jim believed this to be true. <\/p>\n
\u201cJim, you don\u2019t like to bottom, as you\u2019ve told me many times before. And yet tonight, you had a look on your face that told me differently. Did I not do it right the other time we did it that way?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou did it fine. I was too tense; I was less tense this time and more in love. I\u2019m sorry I was so selfish. From now on, it\u2019ll be different,\u201d Jim assured him. <\/p>\n
\u201cYou mean, we\u2019re going to take turns now and then?\u201d Blair asked timidly. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re going to take turns all the time. No more of this Jim is scared bullshit. I thought about life without you and decided I wanted you in all ways. It just felt right. And it was right.\u201d Jim tried to explain. <\/p>\n
\u201cMan, I love you.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI love you too, Chief.\u201d<\/p>\n
Neither man said anything for about an hour and finally Jim said, \u201cOh, by the way, I really like Connor. She\u2019s a good friend of mine now too. When I started out trying to be friends with her, it was an unlikely friendship, but it ended up being quite the opposite. I really like her and Johnson.\u201d <\/p>\n
\u201cGood, I\u2019m glad. It\u2019s nice when we can have the same friends.\u201d Blair agreed with Jim. <\/p>\n
When they drove into the parking lot of Prospect Place both men knew that they were where they belonged. Forever. <\/p>\n
