Chris dropped the file on his desk and headed straight for the coffee pot in the corner of the office. He didn't make it. Knox stepped into his path wearing one honked-off expression.

"We need to talk."

Sidestepping the other man, Chris reached for the carafe. He wasn't in the mood for Knox's shit today, not after the conversation he'd just had. "Why?"

"We're supposed to be working together, but I haven't heard shit from you in two days."

"You didn't ask so I haven't made it a point to tell you. We're both busy on our cases. You haven't given me an update on your case, either."

The less they saw of each other the better as far as Chris was concerned.

"Arrogant asshole."

The words were muttered under Knox's breath but Chris could clearly hear them. He was sure that he was meant to. Slamming the empty cup down on the counter, he whirled around and was nose to nose with Knox. His frustration with this investigation had started him down this road but Knox was a jerk.

"Do you have a problem?"

"Yes, I do. With you. You're–"

"Knox. Chris. Get in here."

Logan's voice cut through the haze of their discord and made Chris realize that they were standing in the middle of the office.

Fuck.

With heads hanging, Chris and Knox entered Logan's office and didn't bother to sit down. They both knew why they were there and it wasn't for a friendly chat. They were going to get a new asshole chewed.

And that was if they were lucky.

"What the fuck are you two doing out there?" Logan demanded, his blue eyes icy. "I know you two aren't fond of each other but you need to understand that I don't care about that. I care that you two can work as a team."

"He–"

"You–"

Chris and Knox both started speaking at the same time but Logan waved them off. "Don't bother. You think I don't know why you two are at each other's throats? Do you honestly believe that I didn't check out both of you completely before bringing you in? Shit, I know what you ate for dinner last night and what brand of socks you wear. So this is what's going to happen. I'm going to leave the office and you are going to stay here and talk this out until you come to some sort of understanding where you can work with one another. I fucking mean it, too. You stay here until you settle your shit. I don't want it oozing out onto this team. Am I understood?"

Knox stepped forward. "If I could just say–"

"No, you may not." Logan leaned down, his knuckles resting on his desk. "You know what you can do, though? You can decide whether you really want this job. Both of you. If you don't want it and you don't want to settle this bullshit argument between the two of you then you're welcome to pack your shit and go. Your choice."

Chris and Knox stared stonily at one another, neither saying a word.
