Chapter 1-Strangers in the Night
Gil Grissom and Jim Brass decided to go and play poker at the Tangiers. They had already reserved a table for the evening. Grissom had decided in order to keep friends, he had to interact with them. He liked Jim. They got along pretty well at work and had gone fishing a few times out at lake Meade together. Neither of them had anyone to really do the male bonding thing with, so when Jim suggested a n of of poker. Grissom had agreed. They would eat dinner there and perhaps check out the slots later.
Grissom and Jim talked about their latest case now that it was over as they walked into the bar area, Jim leading the way. Jim looked at what was sitting at the bar or rather who was. He almost screeched to a dead stop, causing Grissom to bump into him. Jim ’t m’t moved an inch in about 30 seconds.
“Jim what is it?” Asked Grissom looking around.
“More like who.” Said Jim as he pointed to a gorgeous redhead sitting at the bar. Or rather draped over it.
“Oh, well come on and let’s………..” Grissom stopped talking when he got a good look at her. “Interesting.”
“Just interesting? How long has it been since you saw something that looked that good.” Said Jim. The woman took a sip of her drink maneuvered her legs around crossing the other one over the one that she had been showing off before. She carefully adjusted her short, k sek sequined halter dress and took another sip of Tequila.
“Jim, we see Catherine every day.” Said Grissom.
“Yeah, but the chances……….oh hell what am I saying. The chances with Miss Legs Up to Her Ass over there are slim and none too. It just shocked me seeing her.” Said Jim.
“Do you know her?” Asked Grissom.
“No, but I sure would like to know her.” Saim sim smiling and elbowing Grissom. “Why don’t we just see what she is doing. Watch her a little while.”
“What? She’s minding her own business Jim. She’s not a suspect.” said Grissom.
“Oh I’m sure she is suspected of something. I’d book her for driving to intoxicate, myself.” said Jim as they began to walk over to a table. Grissom smirked a smile at him and chuckled a little.
“Well Jim at least you know your not dead. A woman like that tends to make yake ake notice. I noticed believe me.” Said Grissom.
“You really are getting to be yourself again. That’s great. For a while there…….”
“I know Jim. I’m back.” Said Grissom. They got some cards and some poker chips and Grissom dealt the first hand.
“She’s not old.” Said Jim. Who by now had surveyed every inch of her.
“No, she’s not. She is probability in her thirties.” Said Grissom.
“Why are all the drop dead, gorgeous one’s old enough to be my daughters?” He asked.
“Just luck I guess Jim.” Said Grissom with a smirk chg hig him.
“Yeah right.” said Jim as he put more chips into the pot. “I’ll call you and raise…….” Out of the corner of his eye he saw her get two more shot glasses get the bottle she was drinking on and she was headed strait for them. “Holy……..Gil she is coming over.”
“Well do you blame her? I mean you have been surveying her like a piece of real estate for the last hour. Ok, so I have too but more covertly.” said Grissom as the woman sauntered over smiling at them. She put the two clean shot glasses on the table next to each man revealing the 10 miles of cleavage she had. Then she put the third, hers on the table with the bottle.
“Evening Fellas.” She said in a Texas drawl dripping with honey. “Mind if I cut in on the action?” she asked.
od eod evening Miss. Your welcome to join us if you want too.” Said Grissom. By now Jim had lost his tongue but would find it pretty soon. She smiled at Grissom and he go up to pull her chair out for her.
“Thank you.” She said getting settled. “I’m Rusty McDowall from Dallas, Texas.”
“I’m Gil Grissom and this is my friend Jim Brass.” said Grissom.
“Pleased to meet you boys.” she said smiling at each of them.
Jim just smiled, cleared his throat then he hoped words would come out fel felt a little busted at the moment. “Pleased to meet you Miss McDowall.” He finally got out.
“You boys want to share the bottle with me?” She asked.
“I’ll take a double but that’s it.” Said Grissom.
“Me too.” Said Jim.
“He doesn’t talk much does he?” Rusty asked Grissom.
“Oh, I don’t know he was doing pretty good just a few minutes ago.” Said Grissom chiding Jim again. Jim shrugged a little and kind of gave Grissom a semi dirty look. Grissom groused a smirk at him.
“I did notice you two were eyeing me. Should I be worried?” She asked playfully.
“No, Miss McDowall. I’m Las Vegas Police and Gil here is with the crime lab.” Said Jim. “We were just ah……admiring you.”
“Well I just wondered. I myself am law enforcement. I’m in Vegas for a much needed vacation. My best friends got married two days ago and I felt like it was time to get out on my own and see whatngs ngs were like in the world.” She said.
“Girlfriends?” Asked Jim of the couple that got married and he had no idea why he had said that. The word was out before he could stop himself.
“Oh no…….“ She giggled. “Oh the way I phrased that……….no man and woman. I have just known them all my life and now they are getting together. I felt a little out of place now that they paired up. There were three of us so someone was going to get the short end of the stick.” She said.
“So you were the one that got it. Yeah I know the feeliell ell Miss McDowall.” Said Jim. “That stick tends to chafe after a while. ”
“Yeah, it does. They didn’t mean to hurt me. I know that but…….I was burning out at my job too. 17 years of taking in the bad guys without a vacation tends to make you grumpy as hell.” Said Rusty.
“Try 30 years with only like 5 vacations.” said Jim.
“Oh my, you must be a very committed cop.” Said Rusty smiling at Jim.
“Yes I guess so or should be committed one of the two.” He quipped.
She giggled. “Yeah, I guess I’m getting commitment papers too very soon.”
“So “So what do you do law enforcement wise down in Texas?” said Grissom.
“I work for the government.” Said Rusty.
“You don’t look like a Fed.” Said Jim.
“Well………I’m not. I’m a secretary for the Supervisor over the teams.” Said Rusty.
“Oh.” Said Jim.
“Yeah.” said Rusty.
As Rusty was about to say something else gunfire was heard. Rusty instinctively looked around to see where it was coming from. Jim and Gil had already hit the dirt then they would find out where the shots were coming from. Jim pulling Rusty down and under the poker table and under him on her back.
“What the hell are you doing?” She asked as he struggled with her to keep her under him without much success.
“I’m saving your life.” He said as he finally got her down enough.
“I don’t need saving.” Said Rusty she struggled under him a little more to pull out her credentials and a small .errierringer she had stuffed in a garter holster under her dress and between her thighs.
Jim saw her do it. “Secretary my ass.” He said going for his backup strapped to his leg.
“Ok, so I’m not a secretary. Whereyouryour badge?” Said Ru
Jim pulled his badge out of his pants pocket showed it too her. Then she showed hers to him.
Gil was watching feet coming around the corner and another shot rang out.
“You two love birds had better quit the I’ll show you mine, if you show me yours routine. We have company. I’m not armed.” Said Gil.
Jim and Rusty looked at each other. He had pulled her face first under him she was looking up at him. Jim let her up from under him. “Really, I’m not going anywhere. You can give them back.” Said Jim trying to take them from her.
“Oh no you don’t.” She said as she brought the keys in and put them in one side of her dress up top.
“Humm………I think you just dared me to try and fish those out.” Said Jim.
“Nope I’m doing it to keep you out of trouble.” Said Rusty.
“Putting them in there is only going to get me into more trouble Rusty. Because I can and will fish them out.” Said Jim pointing at where she had put his keys.
“Oh, Jim be a good boy will you and just do as you are ask.” Said Rusty getting him by his buttoned down shirt. “I didn’t tell you to down the bottle. Why you did it………you tell me in the morning.” Said Rusty.
Jim took that as in invitation. “Ok let’s go on up.” said Jim.
“Jim, I’m getting you a room of your own.” She said.
“Damn and just when I thought mayb.wel.well ok.” Said Jim. He was kind of disappointed. “Same old story.” He groused.
“Besides, trying to navigate that in your condition aint happening.” Said Rusty leading him around to the desk to get him a room.
“Who says?” He asked.
“I say. In less than 15 minutesr gor going to be passed out anyway.” Said Rusty.
“Who says?” He asked again. “I have a pretty good constitution.”
“Among other things according to your pants pockets. Whew, but your not going to be in any condition believe me.” Said Rusty as she leaned him against the desk. “Stay.” She told him. He nodded his head. A woman came to help them.
“Hi, my friend here has had a little too much Jose’ and needs a room.” Said Rusty to the woman.
“I’m sorry Miss we are booked solid.” Said the woman.
“Shit.” Said Rusty. “Sorry Ma’am. Ok, I’ll just take him up to mine then.”
“Ok.” Said the woman and she went about her work.
“Come on Jose’ let’s vamanos.” She said getting him by the collar again and leading him to the elevator. Rusty was a very strong woman for 5 foot 4. At that point she could do anything she wanted with Jim.
“Say your pretty strong for such a little lady.” Said Jim as she drug him into the elevator and put him up against the wall.
“If you mess with me your going to see a can whoop ass all over you so be good Jim. Please. I don’t want to have open up that can. I know you’re a nice guy so just chill ok?” She asked.
“Well, ok. If the lady insists.” then he got the notion to sing a little of the song she had sang. “Everybody loves somebody sometime…………”
“Oh good Lord Jim……..not here.” Said Rusty.
But that didn’t stop him as the doors to the elevator opened. She got him by the collar again and led him down the hall to her room she got out her room key put him up against the wall outside the door. “Jim stay.” She said. He was still singing the song.
“Your love made it well worth waiting for someone like you………..” She cut him off.
“Come on Dino.” She said pulling him into her room.
“Oh your no fun. Your acting like my mother.” Said Jim.
“You probably made her gray before her time.” Said Rusty as she pushed him toward one of the beds. They had to give her a rooth tth two beds because that’s what they had at the time.
“Yeah, well I did.” He said as she pushed him on the bed and took off his shoes.
“Rusty what are you doing?” He asked.
“You have about 5 minutes before you pass out and I want to take advantage of that because you can still help me get these clothes off.” She said as he chuckled.
“First my pants pockets, now it’s my clothes you want off. Gee, I haven’t had so much fun in a while and certainly not with such a beautiful woman.” He said. He sat up watching her unhitch his belt.
“I haven’t seen that in a long time either.” He said as she was stooping allowing a somewhat better look at her cleavage. “Rusty, you are one stacked…….”
“Oh Jim get over it! In a few minutes you will be sleeping in the arms of Morpheous. Ok in your case the arms of Jose‘.” Said Rusty she was getting a bit tired of all this but she had asked for it unfortunately.
“Rusty, I would rather sleep in yours.” Said Jim smiling a cheesy smile at her.
“I’m sure. But tonight your as close as your gonna get.” She said yanking his pants off. She hung them up quickly and started on his shirt unbuttoning it. She propped him against her torso sliding the shirt off. He looked at where he was on her.
“Yes, very stacked. You smell good too.” He said snuggling a little against her cage age and mumbling a little since she had his head against her chest. Then as she was finishing getting his shirt off she felt hands on her waist. They seemed to be sliding up. She quickly got his shirt off and pushed him down on the bed. He was laying there in his boxers and his wife beater. She hung up his shirt and wheeled his feet on to the bed. In 5 minutes just like she had estimated he was out and slightly snoring.
“God finally!” She said starting to pull the covers over him she looked him over a little. “Well he’s not bad looking and boy, has he got a very good reason to live!” She said. He settled on his side right before she pulled the covers over him. “Good Night Jim Brass.”
“Good Night Rusty.” Said Jim almost unintelligently. She got ready for bed and got in the other one. Then she turned off the light and went to sleep herself.
About 6 o’clock AM Jim got up to use the bathroom he stumbled into the bathroom and stumbled back into bed but it was the wrong one. He laid back down with Rusty on the other side and went back to sleep. Then about 8 AM he felt an arm around him. He snuggled back into a spoon position her up against him. 30 minutes later he was facing her. Her arm still wrapped around him. He snuggled her against him and that made them both wake up with a very big start. She looked at him and he looked at her. They both jumped up a little in bed. Her pulling the sheet up a little over her nightgown.
“What are you doing in my bed?” She demanded and it was a demand.
“Huh?” He asked as he held his head. “Shit Rusty, not so loud.”
“Your going to think loud here in a minute if you don’t get……”
“Will you please lower your voice.” He said. “Oh God, I know why I don’t drink anymore!” He sunk back a little in bed laying his head on the pillow.
“I bet you do. Must be a real whiz banger. Now………”
“Rusty what happened last night after you got off the stage everything from you coming off the stage until just now isn’t tracking.” Said Jim. “We didn’t……”
“No, we didn’t. I took your keys. I didn’t waou dou driving home.” she said.
“That was thoughtful. Oh……..God I have a headache the size of Texas right now. Do you have any aspirin?” He asked laying back down on the bed next to her.
“No, but I have some Pamprin.” She said giggling.
Jim gave her a kind of pissed off look. “I don’t have cramps I have…….. a headache……..and other miserable feelings at the moment.” He said as she got out of bed and went to get it for him she came back with two tablets.
“Here, it’s multi symptom. It has something for headaches and something for moodiness too that might help.” She was trying not to giggle. He looked up at her a little mad but took them anyway. “Can you manage to down them without water? If you drink something without eating your going to be drunk again.” Said Rusty.
“Thanks, I can manage.” He said popping the Pamprin and swallowing them.
“If this works we will have another way of curing a hangover.” She said. This time she giggled quite a bit.
“Rusty, please don’t tell anyone what I just took.” Said Jim holding his head.
“Oh, I’m not going too. You need some food and I do too since we didn’t get dinner. I can order room service.” She said picking up the phone.
at’sat’s sounds good. Make mine some eggs with a side of bacon please dear.” He asked.
“Ok Darlin’.” She said.
Jim’s cell phone started ringing about that time. It was Grissom.
“Yeah Gil Good morning.” Said Jim a little pain in his voice.
“Oh, I were kind of worried Jim. I couldn’t get you at the house and your weren’t checked into the Tangiers.” Said Grissom.
“I’m with Rusty.” Said Jim not realizing how it sounded.
“Oh, well ah……I guess things went well on your .” S.” Said Grissom his voice saying volumes.
“Nothing like that Gil. I was so blasted by the time she got off stage that she had to bring me up to her room and put me on the other bed.” Said Jim. “God Bless her. She’s a real peach.”
“Yes, I guess she is seeing she had to probably pour you into bed. She’s a good lady.” Said Grissom.
“Don’t I know it. To put up with all that and she took my keys too.” Said Jim.
“She’s smart and decent.” said Grissom not buying much of it but from the way Jim sounded it was probably the truth.
“Yes she aparapart from being a real beauty. I’ll see you tonight at work. Oh, did anything come of last nights adventure with the gunman?” Asked Jim.
“No. It was cut and dry.” said Grissom.
“Ok, thanks for calling to check up.” Said Jim.
“You be careful Jim.” said Grissom.
“I’m fine. Bye.” Said Jim.
“Bye.” said Grissom.
“Well, Darlin’ I suppose that was Gil.” Said Rusty.
“It was. Say that’s interesting.” Said Jim finally getting a little relief from the headache he had.
“What’s that?” She asked.
“The nightgown and robe ensemble. Very Victoria. Very nice.” Said Jim smiling widely pointing at what she had on.
“Oh well, yes it is Victoria’s Secrete. Thanks.” she said.
“Your all woman Rusty.” Said Jim. “Don’t worry though, like you said I couldn’t navigate that to save my life right now.”
“Then some of it’s coming back to you. By the way Jim you have nothing to be ashamed of. You never touched me inappropriately. Well, you tried but it was just before you passed out. So I’m not counting it.” She said.
“I’m sorry.” Said Jim.
“You have nothing to be sorry for ok? So don’t worry.” She said.
“By the way, were are my clothes and how did I get them off?” He asked.
“I did that. Look, that’s nice stuff you have to wear I just didn’t want you to wake up in wrinkled clothes.” She said.
“I can see that but Honey, where did you put them?” he asked.
She pointed at the closet. “Your shoes are in there. Your wallet is still in your pants.” She said.
“Well, I figured that.” Said Jim. “Could you hand me my clothes please?”
“Sure, I’m not ay I y I guess.” She said as she went to get his clothes.
“It’s not that.” said Jim.
“It’s ok Darlin‘. Here ya go.” She said handing him his clothes and shoes. She smiled at him and went into the bathroom for a moment so he could get dressed.
“Ok Rusty.” He said. She came out of the bathroom and he was putting on his shoes.
Breakfast came about then as they kept talking about things in general. Jim paid for breakfast. He figured since she had been good natured and kind of taken care of him he owed her at least that. After breakfast She went into the bathroom and got dressed.
“Please take a shower before you leave if you want. I’ll go downstairs. You can have some privacy.” She said.
“Thanks I’ll take you up on the offer. I really appreciate you taking care of me.” Said Jim.
“No Problem. It would be the same if you came to my apartment in Texas. House rule, no one too drunk to drive leaves until morning.” Said Rusty.
“Good Rule. Listen I have to work tonight. Would you like to come down to the station? I mean to see it and the crime lab.” He asked.
“I would love too Jim. The band isn’t playing tonight.” She said.
“I really enjoyed your singing last night. You, my dear need a contract with a record label. You really have a lovely voice.” Said Jim.
“Thanks but I’m happy being in Law enforcement. Well, maybe not the branch I’m in right now but……..”
“Have you ever though goi going into another branch?” He asked.
“No, not until all this happened with Henry and Annette. You know she will probably come back and say……Rusty we are trying for a baby. Well, I don’t blame her I mean they are both 40. They are married now so that’s the next step.” She said a little like she was jealous and a little like she thought it was a good idea.
“Hey, people make families around you whether you like it or not. I know you would be happy and sad all in the same breath. You weren’t in love with Henry were you?” He asked gently.
“Oh no, we got that settled a long time ago in High School. We dated for about a month and finally when the kiss came it was like kissing my brother if I had one. Just wrong.” She said.
“Yeah, there was a girl in Jersey I knew my whole life and everyone thought we would marry. But like you said when the kiss came………..it was like kissing a relative. So what’s the problem with them finding each other? “ He asked.
“You know Jim I don’t really know.” She said. “It’s been just us three for so long. They are so happy and wrapped up in plans and such. I think I might have a touch of the green eyed monster and I think too. I might be wanting something for myself past them.” Said Rusty. “Perhaps it’s way past time. I had my chance to be happy a long time ago. I mean marriage and all.”
“Maybe. I think you did the right thing getting out of Texas for a while.” Said Jim. “You know there is no limit on happiness Rusty. Just because you had all that before doesn’t mean you couldn’t have it again.”
“I gave up on love, marriage and kids years ago. Long story Jim. I’ll tell you some time ok?”
“Ok Rusty. It looks painful and I do know about painful shit like that. I’ll tell you some things too. My story is just as long or possibly longer.” Said Jim.
“Ok, sometime in the near future we will just take the night and spill. Leland my super told me to go. He told me if I didn’t he would make me go on medical leave. He said I was burnt out doing what I was doing.” Said Rusty.
“Well. You know I’ll listen. I don’t know how much help I can be. I’m kind of in the same boat.” Said Jim.
“Well, thanks for at least listening.” Said Rusty. “I’ll clear out now so you can grab a shower.”
“Thanks Rusty.” Said Jim. Rusty smiled.
“I’ll call up in about half an hour.” Said Rusty.
“It wont take me that long.” Said Jim.
“Ok. 20 minutes then?” She asked.
“Yeah that’s pleanty of time.” Said Jim as she walked to the door.
“Rusty. Thanks again.” Jim said.
