Dangerous Liaisons
Title: Dangerous Liaisons
Character(s)/Pairings: Colby/OFC-Callie, David
Rating: PG-13
Summary: You never know what's going to happen on a case...
Author’s Notes: I wrote this AGES ago as a potential drabble, but never did anything with it. I finally finished it, thanks to some gentle urging from mustangcandi. I posted the part I originally intended for the drabble, but the rest I added purely for the amusement of me and mustangcandi. I know that I enjoyed writing it, so I hope you enjoy reading it.
Spoilers: None

“Stay low,” Colby rasped to his team before he crouched down and made his way across the slick and dewy grass of the house that they were approaching. He stayed close to the shadows, and hoped for stealth from the team as well.
David whispered, “This guy is dangerous and sure to be armed. We can’t just go bustin’ in there…”
Colby nodded and signaled the men behind him to hold off, then he reached into his pocket. David watched him carefully before asking, “What are you doin, man?”
Colby smirked, “You’ll see…?”
He took two of the tools out of the small kit before temporarily holding it with his teeth until his hands were once again free. He focused for a moment on the door in front of him and squatted down to inspect the lock. In the next moment, with quiet precision he inserted the two tools and was rewarded with a distinctive click.
Colby took the kit from his mouth, reinserted the tools and with a satisfactory smile on his face, turned to David. His partner just shook his head and sighed, “I’m not even gonna ask…”
As David moved to signal the team that they were ready to move into the house, Callie sidled up next to Colby and so that only he could hear, purred, “I do so love to watch you do that. You’re quite good with those hands of yours, Granger.”
He fought everything in him that wanted to just take her against the side of the house as he breathed, “Just wait until we get home and I’ll show you exactly what these hands are capable of…”
David stepped up now and put himself between the two of them as he teased, “Would you guys stop flirting? You’re making the team horny and they can’t concentrate. I’m trying to do a job here.”
Colby gave him a lopsided grin, “Come on David…you’re just jealous…admit it.”
David looked over at Callie and gave her a long look up and down, “Hell yes I’m jealous man…who isn’t?”
Callie playfully shoved at him and asked, “Are we going to go in and get this guy or what? I’m getting ancy.”
David looked over at Colby before shaking his head, “Yeah…I bet you are.”
He then held up his hand and signaled, “One…two…three.”
On three, the team moved inside, guns and flashlights at the ready. Silently and swiftly, they moved through the house. They spread out and within seconds, Colby heard Callie’s voice ringing out through the house, “FBI! Put your hands where I can see them!”
He and David rushed towards the sound of her voice and both grumbled when they found the man standing with his pants around his ankles at the toilet. His hands were behind his head and Callie found it amusing that the man they had been so worried about had been literally caught with his pants down.
She looked to David and then to Colby before stating, “I’m not cuffing him…you guys can flip a coin or whatever you want. Just make sure you sanitize afterwards before either of you think of touching me.”
Colby and David shared a look and asked in unison, “Rock, Paper, Scissors?”
