Disclaimer: I don't own these characters, with the exception of Danny Gregson and Paul Mackenzie. I am merely taking them out of TB for a bit of fun. I will of course return them to Sun Hill, if they're all still here once I'm finished that is.

Hope you enjoy. Feel free to review if you like it, and even if you don't I suppose, constructive criticism and all! Thanks.

Jo loved working undercover, she felt so comfortable when she could be whoever she wanted to be. It gave her such a buzz, and the fact that she could be caught out at any time, well that just made it all that much better, it meant she could run on nothing but adrenaline. The fact that she was undercover with Sam only heightened the kick it gave her, she had to admit it, her petite DI was cute. Oh, here she came now, with that cute little smile on her face and a cute little…

"Jo, hey."

Her voice cut into Jo's thoughts, "Hey Sam, you ready for this?

"Yeah. Here, what time is it?"

"Um," Jo fumbled slightly with her sleeve. Why was it that whenever Sam was around Jo turned to jelly and couldn't function properly? "Oh bugger."

"What's up?"

"My, sleeve's caught on my watch." Jo admitted sheepishly.

Sam let out a short giggle, "Oh trust you." After watching her fiddle with the material to no avail she added, "here, let me."

After a couple of seconds of deliberation Jo reluctantly held out her wrist to Sam. The blonde smiled at how proud the DC was, she realised Jo must have had to swallow a lot of pride to admit she needed help, even if it was only something simple. She took Jo's hand in her own and carefully worked the material out of the metal watch.

Jo bit her lip in an attempt to stop herself physically shaking as Sam's hand touched her own. Trying to concentrate on anything apart from Sam didn't seem to be working, so Jo resorted to watching the blonde fiddle with her jumper. As Sam finally untangled the material she smiled at Jo, "There you go." As she said this she ran her index and ring finger down the centre of the back of the brunette's hand and index finger. Unable to control herself anymore, Jo quickly moved back at this, breaking the contact between the two women. Instantly embarrassed, Jo turned away from her DI.

"Jo what just happened?" Sam paused, confused she added, "did I do something wrong?" Sam had known for a while now that she had feelings for Jo. She had spent a long time working out what she felt towards Jo, and when she realised she had spent a lot longer in denial. But now she had accepted her feelings for what they were, and she thought Jo felt the same way, but obviously she was wrong.

"No, no Sam you didn't do anything wrong." On seeing Sam's expectant look Jo continued. "It's just that…" Jo stopped, her attention willingly drifting from the awkward situation she had found herself in. "Shit, Gregson and Mackenzie." The brunette whispered hurriedly, straightening herself up and attempting to force her breathing to return to normal at the same time. Adding the final touch, an extraordinary fake smile that managed to look surprisingly real, she kissed one of the men, "Danny." She turned to the other and shook his hand, "Mr Mackenzie." Consciously re-emphasising her smile, she added, "I'd like you to meet an associate of mine, Samantha De Vierre." Previously unsure of why Sam had chosen that surname, Jo suddenly realised how seductive it made her seem, or was that just her who felt that way?

"Miss De Vierre, a pleasure to meet you." Mackenzie said shaking the blonde's hand. Sam deliberately lingered in his grip for a second longer than she should have. She had been instructed to seduce him, and this was what she did best, letting men know she was available and then waiting for them to make the first move. Although, as she realised earlier with Jo, it obviously didn't have the desired effect on women.

"Jo, what are you doing?" Danny hissed.

"Just trust me on this. Mackenzie'll want her in." Jo whispered to the nervous male.

Jo decided to bite the bullet, "Mr Mackenzie, Samantha is interested in investigating in your new business move."

Jo felt a tight grip on her upper arm and found herself being steered away by a rough hand.

"Jo, what is going on? I made it very clear that this is no one's business but ours. If I can't trust to keep our arrangement confidential then I can't afford to ensure your safety anymore, do you understand what I'm saying?"

"Okay, first of all, Mr Mackenzie, kindly remove your hand from my bicep. Secondly, Samantha is a trusted friend of mine and here is no way she would compromise my safety, and that means yours wont be compromised either. Thirdly, no matter how trusted a friend she is, there is no way I would have introducing her to you if I was not 100 certain that her input would benefit you. And lastly, don't you dare even consider threatening me again, if you think I am the sort of person who will just cower in the corner and take whatever you throw at me, you are sadly mistaken. Now we are going to forget this ever happened, return to Danny and Samantha, and you are going to suggest that she joins our business venture, or you are gonna find out just how strong a woman I am, okay?"

Jo received no reply, but Mackenzie returning to Danny and Sam suggested he was complying.

"Miss De Vierre, can we cut to the chase and talk business?"

"Why of course Mr Mackenzie." Sam responded flirtatiously.

Jo felt a burning jealousy, she was perfectly aware that Sam had been told to seduce Mackenzie, so probably wasn't doing this for enjoyment, but Jo was still jealous that Sam was flirting with someone else. God, what was she thinking? Sam wasn't hers. She didn't flirt with her so why should she not flirt with anyone else? Because Jo wanted her, that was why, and she didn't want anyone else near her DI.

Jo glanced over at Danny. To her surprise she found her was intently watching her and had obviously noticed something was wrong. Bugger, Jo thought to herself. That wasn't good. She needed a way to get herself out of there as quickly as possible. Danny thought he was Jo's boyfriend, and if he sensed there was something between Sam and Jo, then that would put their safety in jeopardy. Not that there was anything between Sam and Jo, but Jo wanted there to be, and Danny might realise something was not right if the woman he thought was his girlfriend turned out to be a lesbian. Then he would put two and two together and come up with four. They were dealing with the big boys now and Jo didn't want to be on the receiving end of the anger that would come with that revelation.
