Couple of weeks passed, there were no signs of Pop candy, and everyone in our office pulled out all their resources to catch the guy. But a shadow and a gruff voice was not enough evidence to pin the murderer.
I asked our Captain to pull out the guards at my place, it’s been two weeks and nothing happens, we are just wasting time.
PETE GARRISON:”What if Pop candy strikes again?”
ME:”Then I have no other choice but to defend myself.”
HANK BUCKNER:”With a plastic cuffs on your hands and feet, not to mention the duct tape in your mouth.”
ME:”At least I am alone, you can’t blame anyone.”
MARTY TALONS:”Ok, I know it’s my fault and I am really sorry.”
ME:”I don’t blame you partner.”
HANK BUCKNER:”Yeah, we blame Pop candy.”
MARTY TALONS:”You’re not sarcastic, are you?”
CPT FULLER:”Ladies, please, can we focus with her decision.”
ME:”There’s nothing to focus, I need to face him. And if we continue doing what you want to do there is no way that pop candy will strike again.”
MARTY TALONS:”Yeah, especially if that fucker is one of us, he knows every move we take, every action.”
HANK BUCKNER:”So what, we just let that fucker hurt Gabby is that what you propose?”
MARTY TALONS:”Do you have any better idea smart ass?”
CPT FULLER:”Will you shut up, you’re point has been taken, and we are all worried about Prescott, but she’s right.
PETE GARRISON:”Whoa, wait Captain; you won’t let Prescott put herself into harm, right?”
CPT FULLER:”I trust her instinct.”
MARTY TALONS:”What happens with “This is not a place to play hunch detective Prescott?”
CPT FULLER:”I said instinct not hunch.”
MARTY TALONS:”What’s the difference?”
HANK BUCKNER:”Instinct is like animal behavior while hunch is an idea that might be true or untrue.”
CPT FULLER:”Smart ass, right?”
MARTY TALONS:”Whatever”
***
Everything is back to normal, I have been alone at my home, or at least that is what I think, I am still guarded and one of three of my team member insists to stay with me. I came to office every day and went home after for three days, and there’s no pop candy around, no victims found.
ME:”I hope this nightmare will end.
MARTY TALONS:”It will partner, soon.”
I looked at my partner and smiled at him. He’s been very supportive of me since the tragedy.
ME:”You know you’ve been really nice to me after the incident.”
MARTY TALONS:”I am always nice.”
ME:”Yeah, I know, but you’ve been extra nice.”
HANK BUCKNER:”I would too if you were abducted at my presence.”
MARTY TALONS:”You know what Buckner…”
HANK BUCKNER:”I’m a pain in the ass, I know that already Talons.”
