*Loud Buzz*
Damn that was fast, thought Kel
With one stride from her long legs she reached the buzzer to let Hunter Rider in. One of her best friends and partner in crime, literally. She went to the kitchen to grab her purse and threw on her black jacket. Although Kel held a tough exterior, female instincts caused her to take a quick glance at the mirror, ruffling through her long blonde hair, adjusting her jacket. Do I still got it? Kel wondered. She didn't think so, considering it was only her and Martha, her dog, in that apartment for the past 5 years. That longing came again, and she quickly brushed it off before she would regret it later with a tub of ben and jerry's. No matter how tough and strong a women can be, she would still have that soft compassionate side all women hold.
Knock, Knock
"Kel?"- Hunter Rider
" Coming"- Kel
Kel Opens the door
" Well don't you look all high and mighty this morning"- Hunter Rider teased
" Hunter dear, I say this with all do respect, shove it"- Kel
"Yes, ma'am"- Hunter Rider
The drive was longer than I remembered. Was it always this long when I went to visit Tzarinna at the hospital? It was probably just nerves kicking in. I really did not want to be here. It was too much to bear, thinking of that sweet faced, angelic Nurse Riley. Her lifeless corpse sticking to the ground. I almost heaved.
" Hey, Hey! You alright?"- Hunter Rider
" I'm great, we there yet?" - Kel, yeah i lied, so what?
" Yeah up here"- Hunter Rider
We entered the hospital with quick but steady strides. We were professional after all, and had to look the part. It helped with intimidating the newer officers.
Oh God, Kel thought. Before her were half a dozen officers, two morgue photographers, and a long, blood blotted white sheet covering the "evidence."
Keep it together, Kel reminded herself .
"Hey, you sure you ready for this?" - Hunter Rider
" Ready as I'll ever be..um..is Tzarinna here?- Kel
" Yeah, she's down stairs, she'll be up in a minute"- Hunter Rider
Taking a deep breathe, I made my way towards the officers. There were a few I didn't recognize, tall, young looking men. One woman was kneeling against the wall, eyes shut. Yup, these were newbies. Wish I could tell them it gets easier, psht..who am I kidding, I felt like my nerves got a shot of electricity running through them. There was one more man, very tall, dark hair, back facing me. Hello? Who is this one? Before I could sneak a quick hint from Hunter, the man turned.
My nerves were still pumping, but for a whole different reason now. The man was gorgeous, his dark green eyes stared right through me in shock. He was grossly intimidating.
" Hello, you two must be from DA's office"
He took out his hand,shaking Hunter Rider's. Then, staring at me, reached out his hand, inviting mine to do the same...
