"How much interest do you charge?" Gina asked the old man, apparently called Frank, as Sam and Jake sat next to her in his office. 

"Look, I'm not a bank. It's my own personal money. So I take a larger vig. 20 points." Frank explained to them. "A "vig." So cool." Jake whispered to both Sam and Gina who were still not convinced with this arrangement.

"Well, I don't need much. Just, like, $430,000." Jake said. "Nah, too much. I make small loans to desperate losers. And friends, like you. Maybe even for your young lady friend." the older man said smirking.

"Well, I'm happy this went terribly. Uh, we do have to go now, so please excuse us." Sam spoke first and got up but Jake held her back. 

"Wait, I just need enough to show the co-op board I can make a down payment at the bank. How about $20,000?" Jake asked. 

"Two bags of ziti? That I can do." Frank said as he settled 2 bunches of green notes on the table. Gina shook her head at this. "Jake this is bad. Sam's right, we're leaving." she said.

""Bags of ziti?" Come on, Gina, how awesome is that? Get on board." Jake brushed off her warnings. "Come on, Gina. Get on board." Frank said holding out a deal forms for Jake to sign in. 

"Jake, he is a sea witch in disguise. Do not sing into his shell." Gina warned. "I have no idea what you're talking about right now." but Jake signed it nevertheless. 

"Oh, little mermaid. What have you done?" she said in disappointment. "Well, since everything's said and done, I better leave." Sam excused herself and left.

Nick had offered to do some rearrangements in the evidence lock-up to pass his time till he was called for his evaluation. "Holster case: 7789, bag of loose hair." he said as he picked up the bag and handed it to Charles. 

"Why you gonna use that, buddy?" he asked the older detective. "We are exacting a revenge on Lohank. He shaved at Rosa's desk again." Charles reasoned. "Oh."

"Well she wanted to go all hands on it but then I suggested for a blow-out." he explained further earning a groan of disgust from Nick. "Ugh."

"Anyways, bye." Charles said quickly as he left. Nick got back to arranging the boxes again when the door to the room opened.

"Detective Lee, what a coincidence!" Detective Lane said as she walked in holding out some bagged evidences. "Well, hello, Detective Lane." he greeted back.

"What are you doing here?" she asked in a seductive tone as she set down her box in a rack, pretending it was heavy. "Just arranging some stuff. Gotta do something to pass time." he said.

"That's so thoughtful of you. I just had to go through some boxes at the back for a case. I hope you wouldn't mind me looking for it." she flirted, keeping both her hands on her hips and extended her chest for him to look at her more, but he seemed deluded to her advances.

Lane walked next to him holding the boxes but quickly dropped them and leaned into Nick. "Careful-" he alerted but got shut up with the woman kissing him with force instead. A few seconds later, the door to the room opened.

"I'm sorry I'm late. Jake wanted me to help him with his apar-" Sam said as she walked in hurriedly, not expecting to see Nick and Kelly Lane there. Kissing. "Oh."

"Sam, this is not what it looks like." Nick said quickly on separating from Lane, who stood there in surprise of getting caught. "You don't have to tell me anything." Sam added quickly. "Just be careful with the cams." she said before walking out of the room.
