Dangerous.

4.

The next morning I couldn't wait to get out of Sean's flat, I didn't even wait for him to get out of bed. As soon as the sun rose, I was out of there. I walked down the pavement, still in my tank top and shorts. I was on my way back to my flat, I needed a shower and to change into my work attire. I felt safer alone, than with Sean. I looked around nervously, as I walked by groups of people. Anyone of them could of been Clifford or the killer.

When I walked into my flat, I let out a deep sigh, there were still dirty dishes in the sink, our glasses of wine still sat on the coffee table. I shook my head as I walked  into my bedroom, it was a complete disaster, but somehow the pile of mail was still lying perfectly on my bed. I quickly picked out my outfit for work, then I picked up the pile of mail and shoved it into my bedside table's drawer. I walked into the bathroom and jumped in the shower. Not long after I got in the shower, I heard the flat door open, followed by rustling noises. I pulled the shower curtain back slightly, " Delilah?! " I shouted, but got no response. " Del!? If that's you, you better answer, because this isn't funny! " I yelled again, no response, so I gave up. I finished rinsing myself off and then quickly wrapped myself in a large towel, I walked out of the bathroom and back into my room. Where I changed into my work wear, grabbed my bag, gun and shoulder bag. When I walked to the kitchen, there was a vase full of lilies on the counter, they're my favorite flower, only a few people know that. I let out a deep sigh, there wasn't a card attached, but it wasn't hard to figure out who they were from. They just appeared, out of thin air, it was obvious. I placed my bag on my shoulder, then left the flat. I was just hoping we could get some footage from the nanny cam, and I wondered if they found any finger prints.

I quickly walked into the chief's office, after being in by him, I knew Ashton and probably Sean would be in there. " You wanted to see me? " I asked him as I walked in, he nodded " I just wanted to let you know, that your suspicions were correct. Hoods finger prints were found in your room, he and Hemmings were in that video footage. There were No other camera's in your flat, only the one in your room ". I looked at him confused " So, what's gonna be done about all this? ", the chief only shrugged " Nothing Miss Rae, this isn't that serious and it's irrelevant to the case ". I furrowed my brow, then I looked over at Ashton. " It is that serious, What if Clifford tries something more drastic, then what? " I some what shouted, again the chief only shrugged. Ashton and Sean just looked uncomfortable, " Fine, but if I ever go missing, that shit is on you! " I dramatically exclaimed as I stormed out of the office.

I was sitting at my desk with a scowl on my face, I was re - reading the text message from last night. When Ashton walked over to my desk. " Mel, I got us some lunch from Joe's " he smiled slightly, I quickly shot him a glare " I'm not hungry ". He let out a deep sigh as he grabbed a chair and sat down in front of me, " Mel, there's nothing I can do. There's nothing I can do. It's the chief's decision and if he thinks it's irrelevant to the case, well then that's what it is " he took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes, " And as for you going missing, I don't think Clifford would take it that far. He's probably just trying to scare you, he probably wants you to give up on this case ". I bit at my lip,          " Why would he want that, I don't really think he's the killer  " I questioned. He shrugged while looking at the floor ( Weird ), " Well, I do know, I need alcohol and lot's of it! " I stated picking at my nails. Ashton let out a deep chuckle " This weekend will come soon Enough ", and that it did.

I walked out to my car, at 11 pm on Friday. It was finally the weekend and it was finally time to get my mind off of this case. Nothing in the week had changed much, my boss still acted like I didn't have a fucking clue what I was doing, Sean wouldn't stop bugging me and Ashton.... Was well just Ashton, he was the only person I was happy to work with.
