Warrick`s hotel room
“If you try to buy me a corsage, I’ll kill you.”
“You mean you don’t wanna walk in holding hands?” Don asked. “Just shut up and look pretty.”
“That’s a command I’ve never heard before…..”
“You wanted me to pay the price for this and I paid it. Three times. Now it’s your turn to keep your end of the bargain.”
“Do we have to stay long?”
“There’s an open bar and a roomful of people who are just as awkward. Deal with it.”
“Fine.” Warrick pulled his coat on. “Let’s just get this freakshow on the road.”

Sunday 18:26
Fifth day of the Seminar
-----
Hotel ballroom
“One more bug-woman and I’ll do something desperate.” Don groaned when a CSI from Boston crime lab finally left. “No amount of free food and boozy is worth this.”
“We’re both here for the same reason.” Warrick stated. “Because we have to.”
“Wanna escape now?”
“Not yet. If I have to suffer the mandatory amount, I wanna get totally drunk.” He took a long sip from his beer.
“What do your people usually do in these things?”
“My people?”
“CSIs kinda people. Geeks with guns.”
“Half the people talk about their old cases and the other half suffers silently and gets wasted.”
“I have no idea why they even wanted to have a get-together without any entertainment. Even kids parties have more entertainment.”
“Kids parties have Musical Chairs. You wanna play that?”
“Is that your way of saying you wanna sit on me? We can play that later.” Don grinned. “In the meanwhile…. What do you think of the eye candy? Pick your favourites.”
“Well….” Warrick let his eyes wander across the room. “Washington.”
“The blond? Maybe…. If he had that nose fixed.”
“The Miami Duo.”
“Gimme your best guess: Top and Bottom.”
“What was the shorter one called?”
“Wolfie. Or Wolfe, I’m not sure. The other one was called Delko.”
“Okay….” Warrick tilted his head to the side and took a good look at the two men in question. He thought about it and then turned to Don. “Delko has that Latin macho attitude, so I’ll say he’s the top.”
“Are you kidding?” Don chuckled. “That guy has Obedient Slutty Bottom Boy practically tattooed on his forehead.”
“I’d love to see his face if you told that to him.”
“Well, go ahead and ask.”
“Flack-”
“It’s not like you’ll have to meet them ever again.”
“Hey, guys.”
Don and Warrick had both been too immerged in their conversation to notice that the two Miami CSIs were now standing in front of them.
“Flack, right?” Ryan greeted.
“You got it right this time.” Don grinned. “Enjoying the shindig?”
“Bored to half past death.”
“Actually, since you’re here, we were wondering about something. Which one of you is-”
“Don.” Warrick pulled out his most menacing tone.
“-senior officer.”
“Well, Eric’s been a CSI longer, I started in the Miami PD.” Ryan explained.
“That earns you my bonus points.” Don beamed. “Why the hell did you jump ships?”
“I get to see the whole case from the start to the solution.”
“I guess that’s a good reason. Are you planning to stay long?”
“Here?” Ryan almost laughed. “Among the Dry and the Boring?”
Warrick tuned out of the conversation and turned his eyes to Delko. The man hadn’t said a word, but his body language was obvious. His arm was wrapped around Ryan’s waist and his eyes were fixed on him. The open warmth caused a slight shiver of jealousy to run across Warrick`s spine.
“-but anyway, we were going to go out and get something to eat.” Ryan continued. “The stuff they serve here has some other meaning than filling your stomach. You two want to join us?”
“You wanna go?” Don turned to Warrick. “I could use some real food too.”
“Sounds good to me.”
“Great. We’ll go and get changed into something less strangling.” Ryan loosened his tie with a grimace. “We could meet in the lobby in ten minutes?”
“See you there.” Don agreed.
Ryan left with Eric in tow, and Warrick gave them an unreadable glance.
“That’s a weird pair.”
“Hey, any former cop is in my good books.”
“I should have guessed…..”
“Don’t put on that tone just because most of your colleagues could get the senior citizens discount at the bar.”
“Guys, one more thing.” Eric walked back to them. “Ryan went to get changed, but I wanted to settle something.” He placed his hand on Warrick`s shoulder. “We heard what you were talking about.”
“You mean-”
“Yeah, that conversation. And sorry to disappoint you, but your buddy was right.” He leaned closer to talk in lower tone. “Ryan’s a very talented top.” A wide grin spread on his face. “And I’m one hell of a bottom.”
He gave Warrick`s shoulder a friendly squeeze and marched away again.
“Well, that’s one riddle solved.” Don laughed. “And you should see the look on your face right now.”
“I can’t believe they heard us….”
“They did and I was right.”
“We already covered that part. Move on.”
“I was right and you were wrong.”
“Stop that.”
“Cop beat the CSI-”
“Stop or you’ll eat with those two without me.”
“Okay, okay.” Don chuckled. “But I can’t wait to see you and that guy sitting in the same table after that little chat.”
