David sits up and makes a decision "Look Maddie. I....I've.....Im just gonna say this" He gulps his wine. "I've been feeling a little weird lately" Maddie "You ....weird...surely not" David "I'm serious...Look. I just need you to know that firstly there is nothing going on between me and Hope. I literally crashed my car into hers and then suddenly we were on the TV. She's not my type" Maddie "And there was me thinking you liked high flying INTELLIGENT women" David "I didn't ...couldn't ever feel comfortable with her..with anyone...because.." Maddie walks back over to the couch and sits down next to him. He can feel her eyes on him. She seems concerned " because what David" David looks her straight in the eye, puts down his glass "God Maddie....." Maddie "What David?" David "Look...you just need to know that..." At that precise moment the doorbell rings and they both jump. Maddie goes to the door and David puts his head in his hands.

Maddie gets up to go answer the door...
Maddie: "Keep that thought...I'll be right back."
David gets up to fill up their glasses of wine...all the time thinking of what exactly he is going to say....
Maddie: "Pizzas here. You HUNGRY yet, or do you want to finish what you were saying?"
David: "Ummm....no....I guess it can keep until after dinner...I have no idea what I'm saying anyways...I guess im just not feeling very intelligent right now...I can't seem to put two words together."
Maddie: "You sure? It seemed like you were about to say something important...something that I think I want to hear...in fact...I kind have been feeling a little weird about somethings lately myself."
David: "You have?"
Maddie: "I have."
David: "About?"
Maddie: "About....well....ummm...." taking a deep breath "this thing...with Hope...i don't know..." Maddies trying to shake it off to make it no big deal...
David: "Well, what about her?"

Maddie: (looks him straight in the eye) "God, David. I don't know what to say. I don't know when I saw you with that redhead on TV and in the newspapers, I felt.." Maddie pauses unwilling or unable to continue. She takes a slice of pizza and bites into it. "I didn't realize how hungry I am." David is feeling very frustrated but hopeful too. Could it be that she is feeling what I am feeling? Could it be that the most beautiful blonde in the world wants me? Loves me? Both of us are just to stubborn and scared to say it first.
Maddie finishes the pizza but can't muster the nerve to finish what she was saying. David was about to tell her something before the bell rang with the pizza. I wonder what he was going to say. I have to get him to continue with what he was going to tell me.
Maddie: 'What were you going to tell me before the pizza arrived. It sounded SERIOUS. What is it David?"
David: (taking a deep breathe) "Maddie for the last few weeks I have been feeling weird."
Maddie: "We both admitted that David."
David: "Actually, weird isn't the right word. I really don't have one word to explain how I am feeling." (David looks into Maddie's eyes) " I hate to leave you at night to go home and I can't wait to see you in the morning. I dream about you every night and I can't get you out of my mind."
Maddie: (moving closer to David) "But what about Hope?"
David: "I told you she means nothing. How about Blake?"
Maddie: "Blake, there is nothing between us David."
David: " I lied when I said I didn't come over the the other night. I did come over and when I saw you with Blake, I thought you were with him and..and..it killed me!"
Maddie: "That's the way I felt when I saw you with Hope wrapped around you. I felt like someone had stabbed me in the heart with a sharp knife and twisted it around."
David: "Wow!" David runs his hands through his hair. "So what do we do now?"
Maddie: "Do?" David wiggles his eyebrows and nods his head toward her bedroom. Maddie is suddenly angry. "Is that what this is about?" Maddie moves to the other side of the room "Just trying to get me into bed.Another notch on your belt?" Maddie is aware that David hasn't expressed his feelings to her and she is feeling helpless and confused.

David: "Wait...NO! I'm serious about this Maddie. I'm just NERVOUS...this is a big deal to me Maddie. I...I have real feelings for you..."
Maddie: "You do?" Maddie starts to walk back towards David...starting to soften and get over her anger.
David: "I do." Standing up and starting to meet Maddie half way.
Maddie: "It's just confusing I guess. It's has taken years to develope this and I guess its just front and center all of the sudden...I guess I'm a little nervous myself." smiling softly "I guess I just feel like I'm putting all my eggs in one basket you know...you're my partner...my best friend...now this...don't get me wrong...this is great...its just, im not the best at this kind of thing...i don't want to ruin us...you know?"
David: Taking Maddies hands..."I don't think we can ruin "us" Maddie. I think we can only get better."
They look deep into each others eyes...and finally go in for that kiss....

Maddie pulls away. She feels very nervous about taking this next step with David. What if it doesn't work out? What would happen to them then? Sure, David says it will be fine but he thinks everything is always going to turn out well.
David: "What's the matter now?"
Maddie: (irritated) 'Nothing David. I just think we should take this slowly." David: "Slower. If we were any slower we'd be dead." David goes over to Maddie and starts to kiss her. "I love you. Maddie. Do you love me?" Maddie: "Yes, yes I do." David: " So what's the problem? We love each other." Maddie still looks unsure. This time, David PULLS away frustrated and disgusted.

David gets a grip and very earnestly says " Look, I have put my heart on my sleeve here. I love you Maddie. I am CRAZY about you. I should never have said I love you to anyone before as I have never loved anyone the way I love you. I don't think I knew that these feelings could exist. I know that you think I am not good enough for you and maybe you're right. Maybe I am wrong in thinking that you love me too but I just get this feeling Maddie. Call it a 'Sixth Sense' There is something unspoken between us. You feel it and I feel it. I understand you need time. I am going to leave now and give you all the time you need. Make the right decision Maddie. For you. For us"
He leaves and has his back to her with his hand on the door half open when she is suddenly behind him. She puts her right hand under his arm and shuts the door. David leans against the door and Maddie closes her eyes and rests her head on his back.
Maddie "I don't want you to go" David "You need to be sure about this" Maddie " I am"
He turns around, pulls her to him and she melts into his arms. Her hands wrap around his back and she holds on tight not daring to look at him just yet.

David lifts Maddie's face up and stares deep into her eyes. "I would never intentionally hurt you." Maddie: "I know David." She reaches up to stroke his face. "I wouldn't hurt you either. I'm crazy about you too." Maddie pulls David's face close to hers.David caresses Maddie's lips with his tongue as he pulls her body close to him. Maddie emits a soft moan as she begins to unbutton David's shirt. David shrugs out of his shirt and starts to slowly UNDRESS Maddie. Both of them are lost in a passion so strong that it takes their breathe away.

David jerks upright in bed, sweat beading on his forehead and out of breath. David: Nobody undresses until everybody is sure! He looks around his bedroom. Dazed, he falls back in bed... David: Maddie, Maddie, Maddie....what a piece of work.... OC Voice: Someone call finefinegoodgood...we need something spilled.... ;D

David sits up, and hits himself on the side of the head.
David: What the hell.....? I have had the strangest dreams this week. God love tequila shooters and pepperoni pizza.
He realizes someone is knocking on the front door. He walks through his almost empty living room to the door, and looks through the peephole. The person on the other side of the door is Maddie.
Even in his dazed state, he realizes he doesn't want to get into explaining his decor. He swings open the door, and steps into the hall, pulling the door behind him.
Maddie starts to speak, but he interrupts.
David: Maddie, what are you doing here? Never mind...just before you jump to the WRONG conclusion, there is nobody inside there....no woman, Hope or otherwise. It's just been a while since the cleaning lady has been here.
Maddie tries to speak again.
Maddie: David, I need to.......
David: No, let me. We really need to talk some things through....about the last few days, and why we seem to be making each other crazy. What the hell we are doing taking these cases, and what we need to do to get back on an even keel. I think we owe it to ourselves...to each other....to......
He stops for a moment, realizes Maddie is just watching, but clearly has something to say.
David: What, Maddie?
Maddie: David, Hope Saunders is dead.

David : Dead, as in D E A D? Maddie : Yes David D E A D. Now put some shoes on. David leaves Maddie in the hall and returns wearing trainers a white t shirt, black pants and a black leather jacket. Maddie does a double take thinking that he is looking very 'James Dean' In the car: Maddie : Did anything seem wrong with Hope when you were with her..I mean was she upset or anything...did she have any reason to believe she was in TROUBLE?" David : Not that I know, I mean I only knew her briefly" Maddie : It's just that I had this weird message on the office answerphone David :You sure that wasn't just Agnes?

David: ' What message and what happened to Hope? You never told me" Maddie: " It was a message to turn on the TV that your partner's lover is dead.It's all over the news. She was found in her apartment with a bullet in the HEAD." David: "She wasn't my lover. Poor Hope. I save her life only for her to be killed a couple of days later" (looking over at Maddie) "Hold the phone. Maybe the gunmen in the diner weren't random. Maybe they were there to make it look like a robbery gone wrong! She must have been in some kind of trouble." Maddie: "We have to talk to Blake." David: "That we do!"

David rubbing a hand across his sleepy-eyed, stubbled face makes Maddie sneak a sideways look. Neither has spoken a word since getting into the car. Both are very much aware of the silence.
David: So, Blondie, what's going on in that head of yours?
She shrugs, letting out a small sigh.
Maddie: I was just wondering why you felt it was necessary to explain why you were keeping me out of your apartment. I mean, being as it's none of my business--
David: Not this again! Can we just go see Johnson and try to figure out what's going on with him and his wife and put this to rest?
Maddie: Fine.
David: Good.
Maddie: No big deal.
It's David's turn to steal a sideways glance...

He decides to plunge in.
David: Strictly business -- what is the deal with this guy? In spite of the fact that we are supposed to be partners, I know squat about him and his case, other than there is supposedly some disc missing.
Maddie: He came to me about us doing some background investigation work for his firm. Simple easy, the kind of thing we do every day. Then all of a sudden he called panicked about the disc. You know all the rest -- it holds client information, but he thinks his wife stole it because she believes it contains information about him hiding assets.
David: Yeah...although neither of us knew he was getting a divorce, or that Hope Saunders was his divorce lawyer. This guy sounds like a real dream.
Maddie: I grant you, he was not completely TRUTHFUL with me.
David sneers.
David: Ya think? Meanwhile, what do we do with this mess?
Maddie: We confront Blake and try and find out whether he is involved in Hope's death.
David: I know you are going to think that they switched the names on the script, but shouldn't we go to the police?

Maddie: 'And tell the police what? We need to speak to Blake first and see what he has to say before we make any rash moves." David: (snidely) "Trying to protect lover boy huh?" Maddie (gives David a disgusted Look) " He is not my boyfriend. We dated a couple of times. And to be truthful how would that be your business anyway. You clearly stated that your business was your business and my business is my business and..." David: "You were the one who started that! Anyway, we're friends, partners. I got your back and any other body part you'd care to share." Maddie: "Whatever David. We're here. Stop thinking with your other head and let's get some answers!" David: "I don't even remember the questions." David and Maddie exit the car and walk up the cobblestone steps. Maddie knocks on the door. The door is opened by Blake. Maddie: "Hello Blake. This is my PARTNER David Addison. We would like to speak with you for a few moments" Blake: "Did you find the disc?"

Maddie: No, no Blake, we didn't find the disc, but were you aware that Hope Saunders was found dead?
Blake: What? Dead! How? What happened? She was that popular lawyer all of the rich and famous in Hollywood use, right? And what does that have to do with me and my lost disc?
David: That's what my partner and I would like to know. Any idea where your wife is?
David looks at Maddie.
Blake: Wife?
Maddie: Blake, we know you were seeking a divorce and that Hope was your lawyer.
Blake looks caught.
