"Benny," Ray called out as Fraser walked into the police station in full uniform, followed by Stacy and Diefenbaker. "Check this out."

Ray handed Fraser at a newspaper clipping.

"He was a mob boss?" Fraser asked, frowning.

"Yeah, you put away some of the worst scum in this city. You'd better watch your back," Ray replied. Stacy skimmed the article over Fraser's shoulder.

"Maybe this is why Dief's been acting the way he has," Stacy said. "But how did he know?"

Fraser glanced at Dief. Ray glanced at Stacy and then Fraser.

"What? How has the wolf been acting?" Ray asked.

"He won't leave my side," Stacy said, making her way toward her desk. Diefenbaker, if on cue, followed. Stacy pointed at him.

"See?"

Ray looked bewildered.

"Your wolf is now psychic?" he asked. Fraser opened his mouth and then shut it. "What? No Inuit story?"


At lunchtime, Ray flipped the file he was staring at onto the desk and spoke to Fraser, who was peering out the window.

"You ready to eat?" he asked. Fraser turned and nodded.

"Ah, yes. Let me ask Stacy if she's ready," he said. Ray scowled.

"What is it, Ray?" Fraser asked, cocking his head to one side.

"Nothing," Ray said, grabbing his coat. Fraser stopped him.

"What's wrong? You can tell me," he said.

Ray lowered his voice and leaned in to Fraser, "Is it really necessary for Calbot to go? I mean, Diefenbaker's here with her."

"You do not approve of her?" Fraser asked, surprised.

"Me and her do not exactly see eye to eye, Benny," Ray replied.

"I supposed this would be a bad time to ask for advice then," Fraser said, glancing at Stacy. Ray's eyes widened.

"Fraser!" he exclaimed, angling his head at Stacy. Fraser lifted his eyebrows.

"I think I'm going to faint," Ray said, sitting down on the edge of his desk.

Stacy walked over with a huge grin as she watched shock spread over Ray's face.

"I told you Vecchio would balk at the idea," she said, leaning into Fraser. "Why don't you guys go on? I'll grab some coffee later. You might need to rush Ray to the hospital."

"Very funny," Ray muttered. Fraser searched her face. Stacy just smiled.

"You sure?" he asked.

"Yes! Get going," she replied. Fraser donned his hat and tipped it at her. Ray walked past them, muttering. Stacy chuckled as she watched them go, Dief pressed against her leg. She glanced down at him and he stared up at her.

"Let's go see if we can find a doughnut or two," she said. Stacy swore he smiled.
