Frenemies [boyxboy]

Part One

"This is my case, Hennepin! Either get in line, or go home!" Sebastian Reynolds shouted. James Hennepin sighed.

"All I'm saying is that--"

"No, your stupid antics cost me my lead suspect, Hennepin!"

James' eyes widened and he blinked in surprise. "Hold on--"

"Detectives!" Captain Cooper interrupted. "What is the meaning of this?"

"Sir, with all due respect, I want Hennepin off this case," Sebastian said. James stared at him.

"Come on, that isn't fair!"

"What isn't 'fair' is that you were reckless and let my lead suspect slip right through your fingers!"

"That is enough!" Captain Cooper snapped. "Reynolds, I will not remove Hennepin from this case. The two of you will do it together, and that is an order. Get back to work. Now."

With that, he turned on his heel and walked back to his office.

"Great." Sebastian groaned, falling back into his desk chair. James pursed his lips, sitting down in his own across from the other detective.

"Why do you two hate each other so much?" Talia Gomez's voice asked. Sebastian and James looked at her.

"We don't," they said in unison. Everyone looked up in surprise at that.

"What are you talking about?" Sergeant Connor Pierson asked. "You two are always butting heads."

"That doesn't mean we hate each other," Sebastian said. "But if Hennepin goes and loses another one of my suspects..."

James sighed. "Look, I'm sorry I lost Vaughner. But--I can make it up to you."

Sebastian raised an eyebrow. "Really now?"

"Yeah, I can. Trust me." James grinned, standing up. "To the car!"

"I'm driving." Sebastian snatched the keys from James' hand. James pouted playfully, and they were out the door.

"Bet you each $10 those two are dating," Natasha Bixby announced.

"No way," Talia said.

"You have yourself a bet," Connor agreed.
