hidden before it goes down,” Whitlow said, ignoring Geo’s sarcasm. “Don’t fuck it up this time.”
    “You got it,” Mack answered, his jaw like iron and hands shoved into his slacks like he was shoring up stubbornness. No eye contact.
Fine. Two could play that game. Did Mack think Geo liked being attracted to a man who insisted on being a stubborn asshole?
Geo remained silent on the ride over. They parked down the street in front of a gas station and walked a circuitous route towards the school. Full darkness would drop in less than an hour, and finding cover in the bare-bones branches of shrubbery wasn’t going to be easy. Mack hefted the stakeout blankets and his pack, trudging in silence as he did so.
The back of the school stretched out clear and open. A meeting going down here would either be in the bordering tree-line or up against the building. But the building provided a significant blind spot from the street and easy access to the parking lot. Getting close would be a challenge.
Mack seemed to relax once they got settled and he realised Geo wouldn’t push the issue of their changing relationship. After their last exchange, when Mack confessed he didn’t want to see Geo with a woman for sex, Geo had hoped they’d reached a crossroads. Then Mack had gone silent.
What was he thinking? Did Geo asking about where they stood come too soon?
Geo crawled forward on his elbows and lifted his binoculars to his face. Twigs rustled beside him where Mack did the same. Inches apart which might as well have been a wall separating them.
“Great head doesn’t make a relationship,” Mack sighed as though from a great distance. “Fuck. Never thought I’d have to say that after college.”
“Did I ask you to marry me?”
Mack snorted. Geo sensed Mack look at him, but he kept his eyes trained on the back of the building. A second slip would cost his badge.
“What do you want?” Mack asked warily.
“I’m not your wife. I don’t need undying confessions.” He only needed Mack to admit to his attraction. It would be a start.
“Sex?”
“Would be a nice,” Geo agreed, grinning.
Silence settled between them again. The back of the school remained clear. A couple of kids running past with their parents pointed at the playground equipment and moved on.
“Not sure I can share you if there’s sex,” Mack said, finally.
“Physical exclusivity? What if I want someone to talk to?” Geo swallowed hard, trying to sound nonchalant when Mack’s line of conversation made Geo’s heart pound with renewed hope.
Mack put down the binoculars and picked up a camera. He snapped a couple of shots of the car which had just pulled up. “Teenagers necking,” he muttered. “They’re gonna fuck up the investigation.”
“Log it.” Geo let the investigation intrude. It eased the tension, gave them both room to think about their words.
Mack pulled out the book, noted the time and the frame number of the shots. The couple took off after twenty minutes of car rocking. Full dark descended. Mack handed him the night binoculars.
“We’re partners. You should talk to me when you got stuff goin’ on,” Mack muttered as he polished the night lens of his camera.
“Sex and communication. Sounds like strings.” Again, Geo prayed his steady voice sounded matter-of-fact and hid his growing excitement. Could Mack be coming around?
“You’re my best friend, man. Am I supposed to quit talking to you about shit?” Mack didn’t seem as pleased about the conclusions he drew for himself.
Geo put down the binoculars and looked at him over his shoulder. “No. I’d have to beat your ass if you stopped talking to me. But what you’re asking for sounds a lot like a relationship from a guy who just wants head.”
Mack shrugged. As they both laid on their bellies, it came off more like hunching.
Geo returned to his surveillance. Kissing the confusion away probably wouldn’t go over well. But he wanted to. A lot.
“I’d miss talking to
