He was quiet, and didn't react very much, but Ray did catch something in his expression, a sharp little intake of breath as his partner settled across him, the fluttering of his eyelashes. The moment his replacement was up on top of him, Fraser didn't avert his eyes from Kowalski's, like he was determined not to let anyone else in the room in on their moment.

At least Fraser was playing his part, though. Fraser knew what was happening now, and at least for the moment he didn't see any other way out. But he was smart, he could still make trouble. Right now the only trouble Ray had to worry about was the Detective. He was being intolerable. He deserved to get smacked in the face, honestly.
