I watched as the two entered the house together; hand in hand and large grins plastered on their faces. I felt disgust as I continued scoping from my spot, how could they feel so much love for one another after everything that had already happened? It's something I will never quite understand, never in a million years on this planet will I understand the concept of unconditional love. It's fucking vile.

It's days like these were I want to quit this job and move back to my old state, but I can't. Sitting at a desk with my feet up and with my 5th cup of coffee for the day really complex me. Why did I take this job if all I'm doing is desk work?
Now I'm not one for having motivation and enjoying paper work, I was always a field agent, have been since I became a detective. But I hate it here.
It really sucks.
I took a long sip out of my Luke warm cup of black coffee and leaned back more, enjoying the little amount of peace I had until.
RING! RING!
I jumped out of my skin at the sudden noise. I quickly set my beverage down and snatched the phone from it's spot.

"Meliodas?!" The person on the other side yelled through. It was Gil and he sounded distressed.

"Y-yeah? What is it?" I demanded, worry beginning to set in.

"It's Mael! He's escaped his cell, no one can locate him. 3 guards were killed trying to detain him and 5 civilians were badly injured. You need to warn Zeldris! We think he's on his way to his location...Meliodas? Meliodas!?" I'd dropped the phone the second he said Mael had escaped. My mind went back to the memory of Mael trying to rape Elizabeth while I was being forced to watch with tears rubbing down my face. I clenches my fist and zoned out of the world; eyes black as the deepest ocean and as cold as ice. The only sound was of the phone beeping after Gil had hung up.

"FUCK!" I yelled and got up out of my chair and stormed out of the office. I had to get to my apartment so I could ring Zeldris and tell him about Mael.

He was fast as lightening, by the time I was on the couch he'd ready put on some music and made himself comfortable; deciding to pin me down and gaze deeply into my emerald eyes. I thought he was going to kiss me on the lips, but instead he leaned down and pecked me on the cheek and then engulfed me in a warm hug; his body was a lot bigger than mine, muscles and height were great in a guy, but it didn't help me feel any better about being smol.

"I'm sorry, again...for treating you horribly the other day." He mumbled into my neck.

I sighed and stroked his back. "That's in the past, let's just move on now and look at the future, okay?" I said with a soft smile and a glint of sadness in my eyes. I couldn't stop thinking about the baby and how to break the news.
"I love you so don't be sorry."

"I love you too, blondy." He smirked.
There was a long period of silence after that, except for the sound of our breathing.
I was about to talk when the phone Suddenly began to ring.

"I'll get it."
