Why this must be read:
The Mad Season is a trio of stories (Never Pick Up A Hitchhiker, Come Undone, and Manic Monday) that starts with Ray Vecchio picking up a hitchhiking Ray Kowalski and not finding out what trouble Kowalski is in until he is already irrevocably emotionally entangled. This is some serious hurt/comfort and Kowalski is recovering from a rape, so beware of that if this kind of thing bothers you. I really like both Rays and Fraser in this story. They've all got their own damage they are struggling with but they are all still fighting to come out ahead and happy. Fraser's passive aggressive and making bad decisions about love (Like he is wont to do), while Vecchio and Kowalski are just that needed step ahead in willing to accept love when it explodes between them.
He wasn't home. I was half-tempted to pick the lock and wait for him, but I realized two things wrong with that idea. First off, it was never a good idea to sneak up on another cop. Second, it would make me look pretty damn pathetic, that I couldn't wait until he was home to ask him what the hell we were going to do about this damned... incident. Some voice in my head sneered at the way I was trying not to call it an attraction, or anything remotely resembling what it had been -- a night I'd never forget. Even as I grasped for the excuse that I wanted to ask him about the scars on his body, the bruising I'd seen that hadn't fully healed yet, I knew that wasn't the only reason. I wanted more, and damned myself for the wanting.
I turned then, and saw him standing just a few feet away. For a long minute, he looked shocked to see me, then he recovered quickly and walked towards me.
"Go home, Vecchio. It's late." His tone wasn't friendly, like he didn't want me around. I almost believed it, almost left, but some perverse voice in my head made me stay.
"We gotta talk, Kowalski."
He hesitated, then opened the door to his apartment. He stepped inside, leaving the door open behind him. I took that for an invitation, and followed him in, shutting the door behind me. Maybe we can't solve this... whatever the hell it was between us in a night, but I got a good feeling that it's a start.
