The Time of Our Lives.

Jonathan

*BEEP BEEP*
There goes the sound of Jonathan's alarm. He gets up and looks at the time. He falls back into his bed, letting out a groan. Jonathan gets up from his bed and away he goes getting dressed. Jonathan is getting into the car and heads toward the police station. He finally arrives and walks through the double doors of the police station. Jonathan fidgets into his pocket to silence his cellphone. Suddenly he catches the venous glance of his ex-wife, Lenore. She was staring right at him as if she could use her eyes as a murder weapon. He casually looks away from her glance and heads toward the men's bathroom. Jonathan turns on the sink, cups some water into his hands and smacks the water right into his face. Jonathan, in his reflection, only sees the man destroyed by age and misery. He looks down at the sink where the water is going down the drain. Jonathan can relate to the water because he feels just like it: after a fair use, it goes down the drain. This is how he felt to his marriage with Lenore, well at least in the latter years. Lenore is his partner in crime at the police station. They become best friends which eventually transitioned into something more. Lenore and Jonathan got married and spent the best years of their life together. But as the years passed by, the love they felt for each other became resentful. At last Jonathan gets out of the bathroom because he knows he has to face Lenore some way or another. He walks by her desk and she draws her icy attention onto him. Jonathan ignores it and walks to the captain's office which is on the other side of the room. He felt safe being away from her icy stares. However the captain is not in his office yet so Jonathan leans down and starts to rub his temples in order to calm down. It doesn't work. He gets startled when the captain comes into the room with an order: "Jonathan, I have an assignment for you to do with Lenore.." The minute the name Lenore slipped through the captain's teeth, all of hell felt like it turned over for Jonathan. His mind was cluttered with his divorce, his sister's wedding, and now the bloody assignment with Lenore. His only thought that runs through his head was, "Why did I listen to father?"
