part 17 - rated nc-17 for smut

Laurie pulled off his boots and took the phone over to the couch. Not that expected his conversation with Parrish was really going to be anything other than a fairly innocuous talk - the guy was at work, after all - but it never hurt to be prepared and comfortable. Besides, his boots were so old they were wearing through, and if he rode in them for too long they hurt his feet.

He briefly debated calling Parrish's cell phone, because what if his office had a problem with him receiving personal phone calls on company time? The city morgue, where Lea worked, had a policy about how much time you were allowed to spend on personal non-emergency calls. He only knew that after he called her four times in one day and someone else had answered the phone and clued him in. The other person, who Laurie had always assumed was Lea's supervisor, said she could get in trouble if she spent too much time on the phone. After that Laurie was really careful about calling her. And the restaurant didn't allow him to get personal phone calls at all, so he usually left his cell phone on but set to vibrate while he was working.
