Disclaimer- see Part 2 Captive Hearts- Part 9 Josh and Donna spent the ride back to Texas in relative silence, dodging Sam's leading questions and listening to CJ's lectures on situations members of the Senior Staff should NOT be getting into. "How did you find us?" Donna asked. "Yeah especially since Roscoe P. Coltrain back there wouldn't let us make a phone call." Josh added. "When you didn't come back last night we started to wonder but then we thought that maybe you guys had...well just that you found something better to do." Sam said trying to conceal a smile. "However," CJ interjected "When the morning arrived and you still weren't back we started to get worried. When we realized there were no messages we decided to back track." "I remembered Donna saying she wanted to go to the marketplace so we started there. Once we started asking questions, the people were more than happy to tell us about the two Americanos who tried to swindle a poor woman and were arrested in the process." Sam said. "Naturally we realized you two were the Americanos and went to the police station." CJ finished. "Well thanks for coming to get us. If we had to spend another night there I don't know what would have happened." Josh finished softly glancing over at Donna. Once they arrived at the hotel, Josh disappeared saying he needed to take a shower and find Leo. Donna retreated to her own room to shower and try to forget the events from last night since Josh had seemed to. After Donna got dressed, there was a knock at the door. She paused for a minute then smiled. 'Maybe he hadn't forgotten.' "Hi..." she began before she opened the door, "...CJ" she finished as she saw who was outside. "Expecting someone else?" CJ asked smiling. "No of course not." "Ok. Listen want to grab something to eat. There's a Chinese restaurant down the road?" "Chinese?" Donna asked. "Well I figured you wouldn't be up for Mexican." "Let's go." Donna said grabbing her purse. ************ Josh watched Donna and CJ leave the hotel from his stool in the lounge. "So, want to tell me what happened last night?" Sam asked coming up behind him. "No" "Sure you do. That's what friends do, tell each other secrets and all that." Josh gave Sam a hard look. "Or so I've heard." Sam finished. "There's nothing to tell." "Did you and Donna...you know?" "What?" "Have a booty call." Sam asked smiling. "Sam..." Josh growled. "Sorry I've always wanted to say that, so?" "No" "Oh" "But we came damn close." "Ha I knew it! Good for you." "Huh?" "Well it's about time you stopped beating around the bush." "What..." Josh began. "Josh, it's been obvious to everyone how the two of you feel. We've just been waiting for you both to realize it. And if you...humm...completely realize it tonight, I can win the office pool." Josh looked at him mortified. "Kidding." Sam said. "Not funny" Josh replied as he got up, threw some bills on the bar and walked out. "What?" Sam called after him.
