Chapter 7-What Goes Around Comes Around

A few days later just at Labor Day weekend, Jim was sitting at his desk looking at the picture Nevada had taken of them. He hadn�t come down with the crud she had. He smiled as he looked at the picture. She was sitting in back of him her arms crossed across his chest from the back and their heads were close together. �She�s so beautiful, my Duchess.� He said. �How did a dirt water fox hook up with a duchess?� he asked himself. �She is so regal in poise and in demeanor. Like Audrey Hepburn. In fact her facial features remind me a little bit of her. Her stature too but not the bust line that�s for sure.� He said.

Nevada came walking into his office about that time.

�Daydreaming Novio? Or can anyone play?� She asked giggling a little.

�Hi Duchess. What�s up? Oh and you can play anytime you want too.� He said smiling at her as she cleaned off the spot to sit on his desk. �I sure miss the skirts Honey.�

�Oh I know you do why do you think that I wear shorts on the off hours?� She asked.

�Because you know I like taking a look at your gams. You have a great set of gams.� He said.

�You do also. So��furry.� She said giggling.

�I�m surprised you know what that is.� Said Jim. �I think you know more than you let on. I think you enjoy playing the innocent, naïve, little Spanish girl.�

�Everyone must play their part well, Mi Novio.� She said winking at him.

�So why do you do that?� He asked. �Your smarter than most people I know.�

�I just do, that is my part in thirld.rld. Just like yours is to be Dirty Jim.� She said.

�Your mean Dirty Harry don�t you?� He asked chuckling.

�But you are not Harry you are Jim.� Said Nevada giggling.

�I see what you are saying.� Said Jim.

�What are we going to do this weekend?� She asked.

�Well, there are a lot of things we can do��.� He said getting a mischievous grin on his face. �But I was thinking that we might go to the Empire Hotel and Casino. I ha fri friend that works there. Actually he is the General Manager. I�d like for you to meet him and his lady friend. Do some eating and dancing. Have some fun out of the house for a little while mind you. When are you going to that Doc?� He asked.

�Soon, you will not have to do what you have had to do for long. It is not fair.� Said Nevada.

�Oh I don�t know��.it�s kind of different and I don�t mind plus we don�t need a scare like we had a week and a half ago.� Said Jim. �Not yet anyway right?�

�Si.� She said.

�Really, Duchess I don�t mind.� Said Jim. He would do just about anything he had to do for her but this wasn�t something he minded much. The condoms were a necessity for now.

�I just don�t want you holding the cat.� Said Nevada.

�Why would I��Ok it�s holding the bag and letting the cat out of the bag.� He said chuckling. �You crack me up Duchess. But I know your secret now.� He said winking at her.

�So it is holding the bag and letting the cat out of the bag. I really do have trouble with these things you know that by now.� she said.

�I was yanking your goat Nevada.� He said chuckling. � I kind of like that better than the other way.�

�Si, but I know the right way now.� She said.

�So Duchess, do you have an evening gown?� He asked.

�Oh somewhere. Why you want to dress up Novio?� She asked.

�Si.� He said.

�You going to wear a tux for this event?� She asked.

�I thought about it. Mind you that jacket wont stay on long. I know you like to see the goods around back.� Said Jim. he chuckled.

�Si, Mucho Bueno goods.� She said smiling slyly.

�I have never had a woman tell me that before. It�s usually not in this lifetime and certainly not with aristocracy.� He said. �Now as to how I hooked up with a duchess is still a head scratcher.�

�You are just lucky Novio.� Said Nevada. �I am lucky also. Such a handsome and dashing police Capitan has me in his sights.�

�Glad you think so. Nevada, what would you like for your birthday?� He asked.

�Oh Novio, I have everything I could ever want wrapped up in you. Having you is enough.� She said.

�Well, besides that.� He said smiling at her. That sentence had pleased him to no end. Jim Brass wasn�t a c man man but at that statement he got a small bit of it about him. �I would like to at least give you something tangible.�

She giggled. �Are you not tangible?� She said with a knowing look.

�Boy, you are a simple duchess. You don�t need diamonds and peals.� He said.

�Oh Novio, there are some things you can not buy. I have that when I look into your eyes. I have sapphires every day looking into them.� She cooed.

�Humm, Sapphires? That�s your birthstone isn�t it? Oh and by the way I love the way you put things. You make me sound like I�m Ben Affleck. Matter of fact you make me feel like him.� Said Jim.

�Oh I would not be interested in one so young. Nor is he as handsome as you are.� She said.

Jim put his hand to her forehead. �Why you do this?� She asked.

�Just wanted to see if you have a fever. He�s a pretty good looking guy and you are not interested��.but you are in me. It�s still a head scratcher but I guess you like older guys.� He said pulling her leg a little.

�Si, younger men are not stable enough. Men my own age even. You have maturity and wisdom that I do not have as of yet. I learn from you every day Novio.� She said taking his hand and putting it to her face, him opening it and caressing hers.

�Oh Baby, if you only knew what goes on inside me now. If you knew the half of it.� He said.

�As if you knew what goes on inside me. What fire you started! I am a woman now because you stirred my passion. It has not been stirred before by anyone. That much I can give you. I can not give my innocence because that has been gone a long time but I can give you my passion. That is new and has remained untouched until you found it.� She said.

�Your 40 years old. I didn�t expect you to be a virgin. That would have been a little intimidating. I wish we weren�t in the middle of the shift.� He said. �I�d do a little stirring.�

�Oh you do that without realizing Mi Corazon. I too wish we were not in the middle of the shift. But we are. I wanted to tell you that for the longest time. I just could not find the words. You do not understand a lot of Spanish. I could have told you in that language.� She said.

�Duchess, you don�t need words to tell me. I kind of knew that but as to how��

�We just do. We have another language you and I. It is not Spanish nor is it English.� She said.

�Yeah, I know. So Duchess do you have something to tell me or where you just on a break?� He asked.

�I wanted to see you Novio. We are in the same division but do not get a chance to see each other as much. I wish that you had a partner still. I would love that.� She said.

�Oh I have a partner. Partner.� Said Jim. �But I know what you mean.�

�We are partners are we not?� She asked.

�I think so. It�s been pretty intense since the picnic. I don�t mean just the ah��. sex either dear.� Said Jim. �Although I have thought several times that I wasn�t going to walk away from some of it. Your amazing Duchess.�

�As you are Novio.� Said Nevada. �I do have a little news though.�

�Oh what�s that?� He asked.

�The file from the police detective in charge of my parents death called me.� She said.

�He did? I bet Dallas gave him your number.� Said Jim.

�Si, she did. He told me that he was sending me all the information he had. That it would be here in three days. He wants to help get him too. See he told me that Estrada tried to get him to go in with him on the kidnapping but he opted not too because he is a good, honest man. Estrada was not ever good nor honest according to Capitan Montez. He would steal from his mother and probably did.� She said.

�Ok so in a few days we know as much as he did. So he knew about the kidnapping how come he didn�t try to stop it?� Asked Jim.

�He did according to him. But the information came too late to help my father keep us from being taken. He only asked Montez. He never went into the plans with him.� She said.

�It�s a shame he didn�t just say yes and thwart it.� Said Jim. �That�s what I would have done.�

�You are a cowboy diplomat.� Said Nevada.

�Yeah, I guess so. You talking about a Star Trek episode aren�t you?� he asked.

�Si, the one with Leonard Nimoy. The Next Generation.� She said.

�Yeah, I remember that one. I�m more of an original series guy. You were too young to remember that being on TV and you were in Spain at the time.� He said.

�I remember it being on just a little. Father was a devout Trekkie. So are his daughters.� She said.

�You mean it was on in Spain?� He asked.

�Oh Si, even the reruns. But they were in Spanish. It is strange to see it here in the States and hear the real voices of the people.� She said.

�I can imagine. You had your dinner break yet?� He asked.

�No not as of yet I was waiting for you to mention it. Sam Vega said I could go on.� Said Nevada.

�How do you like working with him and Vartan? I�m sure the language barrier isn�t a problem.� Said Jim.

�No it is not. But we do not revert to Spanish often. They want me to feel more comfortable with speaking English. Like I said we did not speak English at home not even with my Irish aunt and uncle.� Said Nevada. �So the only time I spoke it was at school. In Texas with the Texas Rangers, I was assigned to the Spanish speaking gang violence organization. So I really did not get a chance to practice it much.�

�Did you go to Catholic School here?� He asked.

�Si, they refused to speak Spanish it was hard but we learned. We had already a head start in Spain. There the school taught us English, Spanish, German, French and Russian.� Said Nevada. �Well a little Italian too but it is similar to Spanish.�

�Wow well rounded inside too.� Said Jim smiling at her. �I barely speak English.�

�Oh you do fine. It is your first language. That and the language we speak to each other.� she said.

�I like being bi lingual. Humm that does sound a little naughty but��.� Said Jim giving a sly look. �Let�s go and grab something to eat before you have to go back.�

�Humm, tempting idea Novio. Just figure out what you wish to grab first. I only have an hour.� She said wiggling off the desk. �I still intend to sit in your lap do not think I have forgotten.�

�You sit on my lap a lot.� said Jim. Then he remembered the bet they had at the beginning of all this. �Oh, I see your going to sit right here in this chair with me. Well, Duchess, don�t get your hopes up.�

�But I shall get yours up.� She said bending to his ear and whispering in it.

�Umm, Nevada you already have peaked an interest, Honey.� Said Jim smiling at her mischievously. �Let�s go.�

He got her by the arm gently and they walked briskly out to her car.

�My, Novio you are in a hurry.� She said giggling.

�Time to do a little stirring. If that�s ok with you Duchess.� He said.

�Si, it is fine. It is always welcomed. But with you doing the stirring.� She said. As she got into the car.

�I�ll drive.� He said.

�You have the keys Mi Novio.� Said Nevada. But that wasn�t going to do. He made no attempt to start the car so soon. He just looked at her. She looked at him and they grabbed each other. Passionate kissing and touching ensued.

�Novio, let�s��.�

�I don�t think we are going to make it to my place.� He said.

�Neither do I.� She said among his mouth and hers randomly kissing. Her hand finding the lump in his trousers easily enough. All this talk had made him a little amo bef before he had left the station.

�This is not the place for this.� He said.

�I agree but your hands do not Novio.� She said as his hand plunged deeper up into her shirt from the bottom.

Then a voice came over his radio. �Captain Brass.�

�Shit!� He groaned.

�Better answer it Novio. I am in neutral at the moment.� She said. He reluctantly let her go and picked up the mic for the radio.

�Brass.� He snorted into the mic.

�Jim, this is Vega we have a 419 down at the French Palace. Dead stripper.� Said Vega. �I�m busy at the moment with a floater in a bathtub. The suspect speaks Spanish.�

�Yeah, ok.� Said Jim a little upset his time with Nevada was being sidelined by a dead stripper. Something was happening to Jim Brass besides the sex and besides the woman at his side. He wanted to take care of his own needs and hers before they went there but that thought got ditched when he looked at her. They were cops and this came first before anything could be done about the way they felt.

�I�m taking Nevada with me. Since she speaks Spanish.� Said Jim.

�Ok that�s great actually. I was going to come down and translate for you but, since Nevada is already with you�� Said Vega.

�Well, I have backup and translation and then some Sam. We�ll go and check this out.� Said Jim.

�Ok talk to you later.� Said Vega.

�Roger that.� Said Jim. He looked at Nevada.

�I know Novio. Dead strippers come first.� Said Nevada.

�At least you know the drill. I�m sorry.� said Jim. He pulled her close for a moment and kissed her caressing her face and she his.

�Why be sorry, it is our job to protect and serve. We will find time later to quell the stir.� She said. He let her go reluctantly.

�Yeah but, Honey it does get old.� He said starting up her car. �Really if I wasn�t so dedicated and committed��..maybe I should be now. I�azy azy about you or do you know that?� He asked knowing that answer and she answered pretty fast.

�Si, as I am just as loco for you.� She said. As he shifted the Mustang fastback into drive.

They got to the French Palace and Catherine Willows was already e pre processing evidence in her former place of business. Ted her ex boss and a bouncer named Butch had the suspect in question tied to a chair. Ted had caught the man choking the dead stripper with a belt and doing her at the same time. Catherine saw Jim and Nevada come into the strip joint. She came over before they could get to either Ted or Butch or the suspect.

�Hi you two. I have news for you and you are not going to like it.� Said Catherine who knew about Estrada being Cordoba and what Jim and Nevada were trying to prove. Everyone knew now even Grissom.

�Ok let�s go and see about this guy.� Said Jim as he pushed though and Catherine stopped him. Jim and Nevada had put on gloves in the car.

�What is it Catherine?� Asked Jim.

�The suspect is Alex Cordoba Jr.� Said Catherine. Nevada seemed horrified but held it well Jim just was surprised but not that much so.

�I see. Nevada did you ever meet his son?� Asked Jim.

�Never. But I know this man to be my age. I will talk to him.� Said Nevada. �He knows English but I bet he is feigning it.�

�I�m going with you Nevada.� said Jim. �I�m not leaving you alone with that son of a bitch�s, son of a bitch��..I said that didn�t I��didn�t mean to be redundant.�

�Novio you were not. That was a good take on what he is.� Said Nevada.

�Nevada do you think it�s a good idea for you to question him or to even let him see you?� Asked Catherine.

�It is ok Catherine. I know you are trying to be a good friend.� Said Nevada patting Catherine�s arm. �I have to look the devil�s son in the eye sometime. I probably will look into the eye of the devil soon enough. I feel something coming.� Said Nevada.

�Ok that�s enough Nevada you go��..�

�I stay Novio.� She said patting Jim�s arm. �I have to do this at some point and you are here. I feel less uneasy because you are here.�

�Well, that�s good but��.�

�No buts Jim. It is ok.� She said.

Jim was getting an uneasy feeling himself. With Cordoba�s son in trouble he knew Cordoba would come out of the woodwork at some point and from this point on Nevada was going to be epoxied to him even if he had to mix the glue himself.

Jim let out a labored sigh. �Ok but your name isn�t Nevada Cintrone. I�ll introduce you as my wife Lt. Brass and that�s all the man needs to know. That way if he gets ideas about anything it�s going to make him think twice. I�m only doing this for your protection.� Said Jim.

�Well, I thank you very much for lending me your last name. That is gracious of you to do. All right but this might not work.� Said Nevada.

�I think it�s an excellent idea for the mean time Nevada.� Said Catherine.

Nevada put on her mother�s wedding band on her left hand for show for now.

�This was my mother�s.� She said showing the gold band to Jim and Catherine.

�It will complete the ruse. Good thinking and I don�t think your mother is going to mind you saving your own ass with using that. Shall we go into the lion�s den now Honey?� Asked Jim. Who really didn�t want her a part of the questioning but if he was feigning knowing English Jim would be lost. He was between a rock and a hard place. But she was a cop and a fine one at that. The walked into the small dressing room of Lisa Loveless. The body still being there and his belt used as a garrote still around her neck. His back was to them. They walked around to meet his face and was met with a surprise. He was Estrada�s son all right. A clone couldn�t have come closer. But what was strange is his eyes and Nevada�s matched. The trait was dominant in her family. Jim knew this because she had told him.

�Alex Cordoba Jr.?� Asked Jim.

�Si.� Said the man. Nevada was right, he was about her own age. He almost looked like Estrada did when she was taken hostage.

Jim knew this was going to be hard on her but he needed her and she was a trooper from the way she was standing like she owned the place. He was surprised but not that much so. Nevada was class and bravery all the way.

�I�m Captain Jim Brass LVPD and this is my wife, Lt. Marie Brass.� He said introducing her with her middle name. Jim couldn�t let the name Nevada out with this guy.

�Yeah, ok.� Said Cordoba Jr. �Why are you making such a fuss over a dead whore I will not understand.� He was talking in Spanish.

�That dead whore as you say was a woman with a life.� Said Nevada in Spanish.

�Who are you to be talking to me that way? You are nothing but a woman yourself Lt. Brass. Women are not for working they are for screwing and baring children. Also for killing at whim. Humm, I suspect you have Spanish in you with a little American cop from time to time. American�s are dogs. You lay with one. So you are corrupted having done so.� He said smiling then spitting on the floor.

Jim knew there was an insult there because Nevada had done that from time to time talking about Estrada but usually using the heel of her shoe on the spit.

�Ok Marie what did he say?� Asked Jim.

�Not worth repeating Novio.� Said Nevada. �I can handle this Culo.�

�But you are going to tell me what he said.� Jim retorted.

�In time.� She said. �Let me say something is wrong here. Things are not adding up right. I will get to the bottom of it.� She said.

�If you let me into what he is saying��.I can understated some of it Honey. I know it wasn�t good. That spit technique you let me in on a while back ago. I know he was being disrespectful to someone and I think it was either you or me.� Said Jim.

�He was to both of us Jim but that is beside the point. This man disrespects himself. Do not let his defiant attitude fool you.� Said Nevada. �It is his strategy. Let me work mine.� Jim patted her shoulder as if to say ok honey get the bastard.

Nevada looked at the man. �You were caught with the woman still in your grasp. You will be charged with first degree murder and sent to prison. I have no idea what they will do with you. But I suspect a needle in the arm for you Senor Cordoba. That is if some really big hombre does not make you his wife for the time being. It would be to your advantage to talk to us in English we might be able to help you a little.� She said.

�I need no help from a mere woman��.I am not weak like your man there. What did he forget to put his nose ring in this morning? Or did you take it out before you came in here?� Said Cordoba Jr. smiling a little maniacally. Nevada got in his face at that point.

�Senor, I need not defend myself to you. The only dog I see in this room is you. Calling my man names or me either isn�t going to do you any good. So cut the shit. Either you talk or not��.makes no difference to me. You want to go though the federal system here in America? Fine I will give you as they say a hand up to it.� Nevada said cool as a cucumber. Jim just watched her interrogate. It was his first time to do so. It was so much like his own way it scared him a little. Even with the small language barrier Jim had managed to pick out some words he knew already. She didn�t flirt nor mince her words. He could tell she was angry and wanted to kill him but her professionalism was intact. He was proud of her.

�Lt. Brass, you wish me to cut the shit well, ok. I killed her to see how it would feel to screw and kill at once��..it was marvelous! I had her life within my hands and the rush when I came��Was something there are no words for.� He said in English. �I would very much like a turn with you in the same position. Taking your life the same way would give me the ultimate pleasure.� He said laughing.

Jim and Nevada�s eyes narrowed and before Jim couldanytanything she was over and on the table with her hand on Cordoba Jr�s. throat. So much for professionalism but Jim didn�t stop her right away. He wanted to give her some satisfaction. He gave her a minute or two to get her digs in.

Jim stood there looking at his watch and looking over at Nevada who by now was about to put a death grip on him. Jim did not realize her strength with just one hand .

�Honey. Ah Honey?� He began. �Stop would you please?�

Nevada looked at Jim who had his arms crossed. �You are going to kill the man.�

�So?� She said.

�So, dear��..that would mean I would have to arrest you and take you in but, hey if your into handcuffs and a night in jail who am I to stop you. Just a small reminder.� Said Jim. She stopped the choking she was doing. �That�s better now get off the table, Honey. That position is not very lady like.� Said Jim. He helped her off the table. Then he went over to Cordoba Jr. bent down and whispered to him. �Mr. Cordoba, I just saved your worthless life. I could have let my wife kill you but I didn�t think it was necessary. But if you ever lay a hand on her��that�s where my patients would end. Get me? We clear Amigo? Because, if I get a hold on you, that hold my wife just had on you will feel like a loving caress. � Asked Jim very calmly almost to the point of it scaring Nevada. Jim never touched him. He knew better than to do that at the moment as angry as he was.

�Si we understand each other.� Said Cordoba Jr. He was coughing a little.

�That�s good. I�m really glad you are a smart man and not a dumb one.� Said Jim. He took Nevada by the arm and told the officer there to take him in. They went over and talked by the bar.

�I have seen a lot of interrogation tactics over the years but Honey that was��..unconventional to say the very least. You are going to have to keep that Irish temper in check a little better.� He said. Nevada started to talk. �Let me finish dear. That�s better��.I know you want to kill the son of a bitch but you can�t. Then if you did there would be all sorts of shit go down and you know it. It�s not worth sacrificing what we have is it?� He asked.

�No. I am sorry and that Mi Novio was not the Irish that was the Spanish you just saw. The Irish would mean the man is dead.� Said Nevada.

�Ok I�ll remember that. What�s with the man�s eyes?� Asked Jim.

�I saw that too. They are the tigers eyes of the Cintrone�s. What he is doing with them��.Oh God��Jim.�

�What?� Asked Jim and then he thought. �Nevada there is no proof just the eye color. Do you think that Estrada is related to you? How dominate is that eye color in Spain?� He asked.

�One family Novio. One family only. Have you ever seen this eye color before?� She asked.

�No, I haven�t not that color or the range it changes and his did the same thing. But Estrada has brown eyes.� Said Jim.

�He might wear contacts for all we know.� said Nevada. �If it is so and he is related then how? My father had no siblings.�

�What about your grandfather?� Asked Jim.

�My father was the only child and son of an only child and son.� She said.

�This is weird. I�m sure it�s even stranger for you staring back at your own eyes.� Said Jim.

�It is a bit unnerving Novio.� Said Nevada as Catherine came hurriedly walking up.

�Heads up guys! His father is right outside.� Said Catherine.

�Shit.� Said Jim. �Nevada just go. Get out of here we don�t need World War 3 tonight. I can handle the son of a bitch.�

He was pushing her toward the back door. Nevada protested. �Jim no I have to do this sooner or later. Catherine see what you can do to get DNA from both of them if you can. We have a problem.�

�I caught the eyes on the son. But I have to tell you that the father doesn�t have them or is wearing contacts I went up to him and took a good look at the guy.� She said. �We have DNA already collected from the son but I am not sure how to collect from the father. I�ll think on it ok?�

�Nevada I really wish you would just go on out of here.� Said Jim still wanting to push her out the back door. They had taken off their gloves out side the dressing room.

�I have to face him sometime Novio. I thank you very much for trying to protect me but what goes around comes around and it is time for this. 26 years of waiting for justice is about to come to an end.� Said Nevada.

�But not at your expense Duchess. I wont have your life at stake. That�s not an option.� Said Jim.

�Well you two love birds hammer this out but Daddy is in the door as we speak.� Catherine said pointing to the front door and Estrada looking around seeing his son in handcuffs being hauled off by a cop. The arresting officer pointed to Jim and Nevada. She was spotted now and it was far too late for her to leave.

Jim�s heart sank then it got in his throat a little him swallowing as Estrada came up to them.

�I am Alex Cordoba Sr. What has my son done to be arrested?� He asked putting out his hand for Jim to shake.

�I�m Captain Jim Brass LVPD. He killed a stripper in her dressing room. He admitted he had done it. There is not much you can do now but wait and see if the judge sets bail.� Said Jim shaking his hand but not gladly. Nevada was staying quiet so Jim could handle things. Catherine had stayed but would have to go soon to help Warrick who was on his way finish processing the victim.

�I see.� Said Cordoba Sr. �Well, Alex Jr. was always a disappointment. This is just par for the course with him.�

�So you�re not surprised nor unhappy with what he has done?� Asked Catherine.

�No Senora. I am not surprised and as to the woman being killed. She knew what she was doing and that it could mean her life. I am sorry that he killed her. He was not raised that way.� Cordoba Sr. said. He was cool, this guy cold actually but didn�t convey it like his son had. They all knew where Cordoba Jr. got his bloodlust from.

�I�m sure.� Said Jim trying to be diplomatic and a Cowboy Diplomat at that.

�Your partner here reminds me of someone I knew a long time ago.� Said Cordoba Sr. �Yes. I never forget a face and not one so lovely as this one.�

�This is my wife, Lt. Marie Brass, Mr. Cordoba. I doubt if you know her.� Said Jim.

�I am sure that I do I just can not place her right now.� He said taking Nevada�s hand and kissing it. �It is a pleasure.�

Nevada nodded her head and gave a smile. Then he looked in her eyes. He knew right then who she was but didn�t let on. But she knew that he knew.

�Mr. Cordoba here is my card if you have questions relating to the case then just call me.� Said Jim as he got in between the two of them stopping the contact. Jim�s body language meant business and Cordoba had picked up on it.

�Capitan, I meant no disrespect to your wife. No need to be so protective.� Said Cordoba.

�Well, you understand sir, Marie is a special woman. I do what I can to protect her. I�m sure you would do the same for the woman that you love.� Said Jim. Well he had said it in an off hand way. Nevada had stopped him several times from saying it but this time he was in protection mode and she figured it was for her protection that he had said it.

�You are lucky Capitan. I have never known love such as you have for your wife.� Said Cordoba. �Thank you for telling me what to expect for my son. Since he admitted it there is not much we can do, eh?�

�Not really sir.� Said Jim.

�Then, I will have to see my lawyer on things. I bid you farewell for now. I am sure we will see eatherther again��.soon.� He said still looking a Nevada who hadn�t uttered a word. Jim was handling things just fine but without her talking didn�t mean she didn�t mean business either.

Cordoba turned and left. Catherine let out a long breath as did Nevada.

�Novio you were as cold as a pickle.� Nevada said.

�You mean cool as a cucumber Duchess.� He said and there was no chuckle after.

�Si.� She said.

�That man just oozes charm with a little bastard mixed in foavoravor.� Said Catherine.

�Yes he does.� Said Jim. �But, I know the type. He thinks like his son but is more �charming� about it for lack of better words.�

�He knows who I am.� Said Nevada. �His eyes told me that. Do you think you can extract some DNA from the kiss on my hand?�

�I can try but it�s going to be tricky. Slimy bastard.� Said Catherine. �Continental slimy bastard at that.�

�Si, and I want it off me as fast as you can Cather� Sa� Said Nevada. She had a small bit of freaked out look on her face. Catherine had picked up on that and grabbed a swab.

�Have a seat and let me get what I can. I don�t think this is going to work. I�ll have to leave as soon as Warrick��..�

�Someone needed me?� Asked Warrick. �Whoa��what did I just miss?�

�You missed a lot Rick.� Said Jim who was having problems with the half dozen emotions he was feeling.

�Could someone clue me in?� Asked Warrick.

�I will just as soon as I get Nevada swabbed. Go on and finish processing the dead stripper.� Said Catherine. �Her name was Lisa Loveless and no I didn�t know her.�

�Ok.� Said Warrick. �If I can help Brass let me know. Does this have something to do with the Estrada case?�

�Yes Rick it does.� Said Jim.

�Ut oh, I bet you ran into the man himself. Your too quiet and Nevada looks pale. I�ll go and finish up the stripper.� Said Warrick. He patted Jim�s shoulder. �If I can do anything let me know.�

�I will Rick and thanks.� Said Jim who gave him a half smile. Warrick walked off to finish up the evidence.

Catherine swabbed Nevada�s hand. She knew her new friend was not only in trouble but freaked out. Given the situation Nevada had emerged a real trooper but that flaccid was crumbling.

�Nevada, you need to get out of here. Jim can handle the rest of this. Why don�t you��..�

�Catherine, Nevada isn�t going anywhere without me from now on until we get some answers. From now on until something is resolved we are going to be Siamese Twins.� Said Jim as Nevada looked up at him.

�Ok, guys I got what I could��..I�m gone to the lab. If you need me just call both of you.� Said Catherine who knew when to make an exit.

Nevada got up and hugged her. �Gracias, Mi Amiga.� Catherine patted her shoulder smiled at both of them and went to tell Warrick what was up.

�You need not get involved Mi Novio.� Said Nevada calmly to Jim.

�Involved? Nevada the day you told me about all this I became involved. Plus we have the small matter of us having something going on. I�m involved in this because I��

�No porfavor��Jim.� She put her hand up to his mouth.

�You ever going to let me say what I feel?� He said a little angry but quietly.

�This is not the place for this.� Said Nevada. �I just wanted to give you the opt out option.�

�What the hell for?� He asked a little surprised. �What, you think after a while I�m going to get board with you and leave? Or is it you think I can�t handle you or don�t want too? That isn�t the case Baby and you know it.� He was whispering in her ear at that point. His breath was hot and almost stung her. �So cut that shit out right now. You hear me?�

�Oh I hear you Novio. Do not be so angry. You do not understand much about me.� Said Nevada.

�I understand plenty. I understand now that the other guys you dated just didn�t have the balls to take you on. Well, I got news for you. I know I have them. I think you know that Duchess. I think you know I know plenty about you and I don�t scare off easy. This isn�t the place for this discussion. It will have to wait for later to heat up and I know it will but know this��.I am here and I am staying in this because you mean everything to me. Yeah, ok so it�s been what, two months but people our age should know when it�s serious and it shouldn�t take long to figure out what we feel and how deeply. Just think on that a little because whether or not you like it your stuck with me. As to other guys getting board with you��..they have to nuts. You wouldn�t know the word board and I wouldn�t either since I met you. So give that some thought too while your at it.� He said very calmly but with a little anger laced in for flavor. He wasn�t mad at her just hurt a little. He walked away and out of the strip joint butt out outside.

Nevada began thinking and it was a surprise to her actually. She hadn�t allowed herself to admit she might love him or him her because she was afraid it wouldn�t last. But it had and it was strong the way he felt about her. The evidence was in on that.

She got up and went out of the strip joint. She put her hand on his shoulder and he turned. She smiled and her eyes were talking volumes to him.

�I am sorry Novio.� She said softly but he heard her. �I am afraid of what I feel.�

�Because you haven�t felt it in a long time right?� He asked as he took her hand.

�Because I have never felt it. For anyone.� She said. He was a little surprised. Nothing much surprised Jim Brass anymore but some of the things she did andd had had. This was one of them.

�It�s ok Nevadast hst hold on to the feeling and don�t let go. Because I�m not going to let go. I�m in this thing all the way. What ever you need of me you have that. Just like if things were reversed I know I could count on you.�

�I know that now Novio.� She said. �Of course you can always count on me.�

�Ok now that we have established a mutual admiration society for each other��.let�s get this done so we can go home. Either one doesn�t matter. Because I�m not lea you you tonight.� Said Jim.

�Maybe I should be alone tonight.� She said.

�Nope. Now if I have to mix the epoxy lf Ilf I�m going to be stuck to you.� Said Jim.

�My, Novio such strong words.� She said as she and Jim went back inside.

�Honey you don�t know the half of this yet. Neither do I. So we are even for now.� He said as the door closed behind them.
