"I'll be honest wit you Collins, you seem like an okay brotha but I can't say I trust you, in fact I don't trust most men when it comes to Amanda. She's been hurt and I don't wanna see her go through that again." Fin let him know, straight and to the point.

"And I respect that, which is why I'm coming to you two before we take it to the brass. I'm in love with her and she loves me too. I know you guys are like her family and I wanna let you know that my intentions are good ones; I only wanna make her happy and it would make her extremely happy to know that we have your blessing in a way so I'm asking that you give it."

Amaro sat there remembering that phone call he'd heard the end of and wondered just how much Darrell loved Amanda. If he really did then he'd tell the truth about the phone call, right?

As he sat at his desk, searching the criminal database for a suspect, Darrell remembered vividly the conversation he'd had with Fin and Amaro. It was pretty pleasant until Amaro asked him about the end of that conversation he'd had with Bronwyn and he'd lied still and said it was a wrong number and the woman had gotten ripe with him. He didn't know how to tell them that he'd gotten mixed up with Bronwyn and that she was blackmailing him into helping her; he wasn't even sure with what he was helping her with at this point. Only being told to keep his phone near and wait for instructions.

He thought Amaro bought it and that was good. He'd gotten he and Fin's blessing and that's all that mattered for now though he knew that he had to figure a way out of this mess if he was ever going to consider getting more serious about Amanda.

"Hey." Amanda said from behind him, startling him from his reverie.

"Hey you."

"I was thinking, it's lunchtime..."

"Hungry?"

"Not for food. And the cribs are empty... And I'm not wearing panties!" She whispered in his ear and licked it, making sure no one was within eyeshot of them and quickly walked away. He immediately got turned on.

"Meet you in five!"

"Don't make me wait; I might just rub it out!" She said and went off toward the cribs. He absolutely had to find a way out of this mess with Bronwyn!

Later that day after the nurses had checked her temperature and blood pressure for the night, she sat up in bed with her cards in her hand and a pile of alcohol pads as the ante on the table.

"Gimme four" She said, handing him her cards. Elliot looked at her with a smile on his face like she had just made the stupidest poker mistake ever.

"You want four cards?"

"Mmhm, four cards." She reiterated. "Is there a problem Stabler?" She said with a smile of her own.

"Nope. Four it is!" He dealt the cards to her, his smile even slyer now that he was sure his hand was unbeatable. She put the cards in her hand then looked over at him.

"Tell me again, what does it mean if I have 4 kings?" She asked innocently to which his smile immediately disappeared.

"It means you win!" and he turned his hand with three of a kind, aces high, in on the table.

"I'll be sure to remember that in case I ever get it!" She laughed, turning in a hand that had one pair of matching cards- a pair of 3's and took all of the alcohol pads.

"You rotten little cheater!" She laughed as he stood and drew into her. "Can I kiss you?"

"Thought you'd never ask!" She said as their lips met in a smoldering kiss then let out a small yawn. "ooh, excuse me!"
