Title: Little Pink Pills
Fandom: Romani Detective Original Fiction
Pairing: Andrej Zeklos/James Rosewood/Zayne Reyes, Jake Hansen/Hilary Maxwell, and poor Trish Rollins, happily single
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 395
Summary: Andrej and Zayne recover a baggie of pills off a suspect and aren’t sure if they’re illegal or not.
Author’s Note: Written for the numbers challenge at 1_million_words. The prompt was 174 and when I did a Google search for it, I was rewarded with a picture of little pink pills. LOL

“We could ask Jay,” Andrej said, turning the bag with the small, pink pills in it over in his hands. They were marked with a black 174 on their Pepto-pink shell. “I do not think I have ever seen these before.”

“I don’t think they’re a narcotic,” Trish said, looking over his shoulder, “but checking with the narcos is going to be your best bet.”

“I’ll text Jake,” Hilary said. “He and Rosewood are on their way back to the station from lunch anyway. I’ll have them swing by on their way here.”

“You do know they have to go past narcotics to get here, right, Hil?”

“Go to hell, Zayne,” Hilary teased. “If you can work with your boyfriend, I can see mine occasionally.”

“And as it works out,” Trish laughed, “they get to see their boyfriend, too.”

**

“Okay, what do you have,” James asked, holding out his hand.

Andrej placed the evidence bag in James’ outstretched hand. “We found these on a suspect this morning. I have never seen them before.”

James looked at them carefully before handing the bag over to Jake. “Well,” James said, grinning and handing the bag over. “You don’t have to add charges to whatever you’ve already laid on your suspect.”

“Not controlled substances,” Zayne asked.

“Hardly,” Jake laughed. “But not that either of you would know that.”

“So, what are they,” Trish finally asked.

“Laxatives,” James laughed. “And generic ass ones, too.”

“Oh for the love of God,” Zayne groaned. “Sorry to waste your time.”

“Nah, don’t apologize,” James said, patting Zayne on the back. “Better to ask and feel silly then let someone walk with a pocket full of something illegal.”

“Although,” Jake said with a big grin, “considering how many of these things he has, I wonder what the hell his problem is.”

“Drug mule,” Zayne snorted. “Or he has a really, really crappy diet.”

“You’d know, Reyes,” Jake laughed.

“Thank you for your help,” Andrej said.

“Anytime,” Jake said. “Seriously. It’s what we’re here for.”

“They’re never going to let us live that down, are they,” Zayne asked after the two narcotics detectives had left.

“Not likely,” Trish said. “But you’re sleeping with one and she’s sleeping with the other,” she added, hooking her thumb in Hilary’s direction. “So, that gives you at least a fair chance at getting even if they try.”

Lord, you two are worse than James and Zayne and that's saying something. LOL

I feel like her telling us we're worse than James and Zayne is a compliment...

That really depends on the day. LOL

LOL I can understand that.

It would be a) funny and b) par for the course.

I'll add it to the long list of other things I need to write. LOL

Of course... I don't even want to think about my list. I should probably actually write out what I plan/need to write.

From: [identity profile] asphaltcowgrrl.livejournal.com
I have things from years ago that I haven't gotten around to working on yet. And now there's bingo again and... yeah. Nothing is getting done.

I probably have unfinished stuff all the way back to like 2000 in fanfic... even longer in original fic. LOL I'm trying!

I should add "make a writing list" to my to do.

From: [identity profile] asphaltcowgrrl.livejournal.com
There ya go. I have a notebook at home that I listed the books I need to read, the movies/shows I need to watch, and things I need to write in it.

That's neat. I just went through all my jump drives and hard drives to find all the writing I seem to have kept (I'm almost positive there's some missing) but then I'll go from there.

This doesn't include the box of hardwritten stuff I have somewhere.

It's always right on my desk so I don't have to find the file or post or whatever.

Almost all of mine is stored in my Dropbox. I should make a copy on my backup drive, I suppose. And the stuff that's handwritten needs to be burned. It's... bad. But it's mostly from middle school and high school so...

Date: 2020-04-18 03:38 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] shanachie-quill.livejournal.com
That's good. I'd just moved my stuff onto the drives because of moving computers. I think I found everything.

Ah yeah that's a good idea. I haven't installed Dropbox on my new computer... I should do that and then clean it out. LOL I feel ya. I've still got a handwritten copy of the first novel I wrote, but that shit is NEVER seeing the light of day.

Makes sense. I have a backup drive so I tend to use that when I move things.

Dropbox and Onedrive make my life so much easier. Haha - yeah, some stuff should be left in the closet.

I can see that. I have two so sometimes even finding things is crazy.

Yeah I'm sure on DB and OD. Lord, I have a LOT of stories that should be left in the closet... but I just can't throw them out. (Although I did throw out a bunch of things before we moved to Georgia.)

LOL yes they are. But so are plots.

From: [identity profile] asphaltcowgrrl.livejournal.com
What's a plot? Not sure any of my stories have ever had one of those. LOL!

Date: 2020-04-16 06:46 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] shanachie-quill.livejournal.com
Well, I mean if it's amusing... who cares? Also your recent Andy and Aiden fic had a plot!

Agreed. Not everything has to be intellectual reading with some deeper meaning. Sometimes you just need a little cowboy love.

It did, but those are few and far between these days. LOL

Sometimes you just need fluff (or other stuff). Heee "Cowboy Love".

LOL I understand.

From: [identity profile] asphaltcowgrrl.livejournal.com
Exactly. Especially since I tend to gravitate towards mysteries, psychological thrillers, and fantasy.

Zayne's LJ is tx_cowboy_love so that's probably why it came out like that. Hahaha. But what I'm reading right now is about a southern boy turned country music star.

Date: 2020-04-17 07:15 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] shanachie-quill.livejournal.com
Yeah I understand that.

Umm... I was thinking of the John Michael Montgomery song... but yes, I can imagine it works the same way.

Now you know I kinda wanna go look that up...

Date: 2020-04-17 07:48 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] asphaltcowgrrl.livejournal.com
Oh geez, I haven't thought about that song in forever.

Hah! There are only a handful of posts there, I need to write some more because his passive-aggressive journaling is a lot of fun.

I used to LOVE that song. ANd um... crap can't think of it now. Oh! Be My Baby Tonight

*giggles* I started reading it, but then got roped into some other stuff *coughs* smut *coughs*

I pretty much loved anything JMM put out, honestly.

LOL! Hey, whatever floats your boat. :)

Date: 2020-04-18 06:39 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] shanachie-quill.livejournal.com
Yes, honestly true. Although those were probably my faves.

LOL yeah... I have more to write, but life.

Wasn't expecting that...lol

Pamprin or Pepto not a generic laxative.

Nice to see Hilary and Jake as a couple.

I have to say, when it popped up in my search, I got a good laugh out of it.

It's something called Bisacodyl and is made by Equaline/Supervalu. The things you can learn from the internet.

Thanks. I've been working my way towards this but had a chance to get them there yet. One more thing for the list I suppose. I'd set Trish up, too, but I think she's content making fun of the ones already paired/trioed up. LOL

I bet.

They make a good couple. I think Trish is happy sitting back and busting everybody's chops.

I think they'll be a good couple, too. I mean, anything's an improvement over Zayne, right? This is very true about Trish. :D
