Nate: Well I was reading and I couldn't put the *yawn* book down.
Jinny:uh-huh,...come on nate,what were you really doing last night?
Nate:I'm telling you the truth. I need coffee. *Gets up*
Jinny: yeah,okay*rolls her eyes,and goes back to work*
Magda: Has anyone seen the captain?
Raina:I haven't.
Jinnyon't look at me.
Nate: *Picks up the pot of coffee and pours it into a cup, then drinks out of the pot*
CD: You sure you're okay?
Magda: Something strange is going on around here.
Jinny:*trying not to laugh*Nate,you do realize,that just drank out of the pot,..right
Nate: I was wondering why the cup was so heavy.
Magda: Well I'm gonna bring my own coffee...I don't know where that pots been anymore.
Jinny & Raina: *laugh*
Jinny:I defently agree with you on that one,Mag
Nate: *Sits at his desk and falls out of his chair*
CD: Maybe you should go home and take a nap.

Jinny:*Laughing her ass off* Are you SURE,nothing's up?
Nate: You talking to me?
Jinny: uh,yeah
Raina:*laughing so hard she's crying* I'd sure love to see you,the mornig after a stake out.
Nate: Steak?
CD: STAKE OUT! S-T-A-K-E you idiot.
Nate: NO need to be crabby.
Jinny:Good god,what is wrong with you!?
Nate: Nothing. *Yawns*
Raina far today,you've drank from the coffee pot,nearly fell asleep mid-sentance,and fallin out of your chair,and nothings wron?*raises her eyebrow*
Nate: Don't act like you've never drank from a coffee pot before.
Raina:I can't honestly say that I haven't *looks at him like he's nuts*
Kate:Morning *rushes into her office,ignorses Nate*
Magda: I didn't know anyone could walk that fast.
Jinny:Apperently,she can *points toward Kate's office*
Magda: I think everyone has lost their minds.
CD:*Nods*
Jinny:well I coulda told ya that,years ago.
Nate: You haven't even known me for years!
Jinny:I can garuntee that anybody working under her authority*points to Kate's office* either is,or will be soon.*laughs*
Nate:What is that supposed to mean?!
Jinny: Nothing! geez Nate,I was just kidding,what is your problem??
Nate: You're the one with the problem...can't you just leave her alone?
CD: *Backs away from Nate*
Jinny: Why? she jokes like that about me,don't take eachother seriously
Nate: *Glares at her*
Raina:why are you so defensive all of a sudden??
Nate: I'm not!
Magda: Whatever you say. *Rolls her eyes*
Jinny: *raises an eyebrow* is she the one you slept with last night?*smirks*
CD: Woah didn't want that image.
Nate: I did not sleep with the captain...sorry to disapoint you.
Jinny:I was just joking,Nate *looks at him suspiciously* who did you sleep with last night?
Nate: No one Jinny would you just shut up?!
Jinny;Geez! Take some prozac will ya!?! for our sake!
Nate: Do you know when to stop?! *Leaves*
Raina:What is his problem!?! *looks at CD*
CD: Well Jinny has been pressuring him and he obviously didn't want to talk about what was bothering him.
Magda: It's Nate's cheerleader.
Jinny: I wasn't pressuring nothing,He's the one that got all phsyco!
CD: *Rolls her eyes*
Magda: Maybe the captain knows what's going on with him?
Raina:what would make you think that?
Magda: It was just an idea.
Jinny:*gives Magda a questioning look* what kind of crazy conclusions are you jumping to this time?
Magda: God Jinny what's your problem today? I was just saying maybe whatever is wrong with him maybe it's related to work and we could talk to the captain about it.
Jinny: I'm sorry,I just.......John Jr.'s being a jackass.
Magda: Aww what's going on?

~Meanwhile~
Nate: *Knocks on Kate's door*
Kate:Come in
Nate: *Walks in*
Kate: what do you want? *avoids eye contact*
Nate: We need to talk about last night.
Kate: *sarcastic*You took advantage of me last night. Now,what could there possibly be to talk about?
Nate: I can completely understand why you'd think that but...
Kate: But what Nate what?
Nate: I've liked you ever since the first time I saw you. What happened last night was something I've wanted for a long time and it meant more to me then just a one night stand.
Kate: *totally shocked* What?
Nate: And the reason I didn't tell you before...you're my boss. I just couldn't. Then last night it just, happened but I shouldn't have done that. Not when you were like that. I can understand if you absolutely hate me now...I can find another job.
Kate: I..I don't hate you...I'm shocked
Nate: *Nods*
Kate:I...I had no Idea...
Nate: Well I didn't run around telling people I was in love with my boss.
Kate: in LOVE? *She couldn't believe what she was hearing,it was often one of her inspectors walked into her office,and told her he loved her.*
Nate: Oh god I did not just say that.
Kate: *grinned* yeah,ya did.
Nate: Well...
Kate: I......*gets cut off when the phone rings*
Nate: *Sits across from her*
Hospital: Kate McCafferty?
Kate: Yes,this is she.
Hospital: This is a nurse from St. Luke's hospital...I'm sorry to have to tell you this but your daughter died this morning.
Kate:What?!?*almost drops the phone*
Hospital: I'm sorry.
Kate:She's dead?? there's got to be some mistake!! She CAN'T be dead!
Nate: *Jumps up*
Hospital: We did everything we could.
