#5 Tommy Thayer x Reader

Like every morning I got ready for work and grabbed a cup of coffee on my way. I parked my car and walked up the stairs to the front entrance. "Morning Amanda.", I greeted my colleague at the reception. "Morning Y/N, have a nice day!", she called after me, making me smile. I walked into our open plan office towards my desk. Before I got there I passed the desk of Officer Thayer. He was a nice guy, who worked here for a few weeks now. We didn´t talk that much and he was unexperienced when it came to murder cases. He dealt with the little things and often stayed behind to do the paperwork instead of the work at crime scenes. He was just a police officer, whereas I was a detective.

"Morning detective!", he greeted me with a smile. "Good morning to you too officer!", I greeted back, coming to a stop in front of his desk. "Anything interesting happening today?", I asked him and he smiled, looking onto his desk. "Well not really. Just paperwork from the last burglary.", he said looking up at me. "So a typical day I guess?", I asked and he nodded. "Well then, I guess I see you later!", I said, smiling at him before walking to my desk. I put the cup down on the table, sitting down and started going through the folder of my last case.

Just as I started my computer the chief walked up to me with a file in his hand. "Morning detective L/N.", he greeted, coming to a halt in front of my desk. "Morning chief. New case?". I asked pointing to the file. "Yes but we got a little problem. Three of your colleagues called in sick, two other detectives got another case and your partner isn´t here yet.", he explained and I sighed. Typical of Owen to show up late to work. "No problem I will just go alone. Amy will be there anyways.", I said.

Amy was our forensic together with Marc, who mostly stayed in the lab. "Sure she will be but I don´t want you to go alone. Why don´t you take Officer Thayer with you? I know he is unexperienced with murder but he is an excellent officer and pretty smart. He could be of help!", he said and I shrugged my shoulders. "I´m ok with that.", I answered and he handed me the file. "Good luck then detective.", he said before leaving again. I looked through the file before packing my stuff and walking to the officers desk again.

"Hello again detective. Can I help you with something?", he asked smiling. "You really can. The chief just gave me a new case and since we´re short on staff you are coming with me.", I informed him and his smile fell a little. "Oh. I´m not sure I will be of much help out there.", he said and I smiled at him. "Don´t worry, the chief thinks you could be of help and he must know. So come on, I´ll drive!", I said smiling.

Arriving at the crime scene we met with Amy, who already made photos of the victim. "Morning Amy, what´ve we here?", I asked her, looking down at the victim, a middle aged man with black hair. "Morning Y/N. Thats Oscar Hurley, 37 years old, gun shot to the head.", she explained, looking at the officer confused afterwards. "Officer Thayer, didn´t expect to see you here!", she said and he smiled at her. "Well it seemed like we were a little short staffed and the chief thought I could be of help.", he said, shrugging his shoulders. Amy nodded and continued with her report. "We found the bullet and Marc is already trying to find out, which weapon was used. The oddest thing was, that we found traces of cocaine in his bedroom. More than if he just would´ve consumed a little.", she said and I nodded.

"I think I´ll look around the bedroom a little. You want to tag along officer?", I asked him and he nodded. "Sure, why not.", he answered and we made our way towards the bedroom. I looked around the dresser and the wardrobe but found nothing of importance. When I turned around again I saw the offiicer laying on the floor and looking under the bed. "What are you doing?", I asked, stiffling a laugh at seeing the giant man on the floor. "Theres something under the bed.", he said, starting to reach for it. "Stop, don´t touch it! It could be evidence!", I said, kneeling down beside him. In this position I couldn´t see what he saw, so I layed down next to him, turning on my flashlight.
