Dangerous.

I walked slowly into the flat with a large smile on my face, when I got in, Delilah rushed toward me.    " So, how was it? " she asked with a large grin, I rolled my eyes " D, we didn't have sex. He saved me Sean... ". Before I could finish my sentence, she grabbed my hands looking at my bandaged palms. " Did Sean do this to you? Oh, Logan's gonna kill him " she exclaimed, I rolled my eyes again " It's only a few scraps, chill out ". She sighed while shaking her head " It's only a few scraps now, but he's done a lot worse to you, remember? ", I groaned " Del, can we not talk about this ". She nodded and smiled " Okay, so are you going to see him again? ", " Who Sean? Fuck no! " I exclaimed with a look of disgust. She rolled her eyes " Mel, you are going to see him again, you work with Sean, Remember.... And I meant the new guy ", I smiled " I hope so ".  

Delilah ended up leaving shortly after, she was called into work. I took a deep breath in as I started the bath, I chose a Sex bomb, bath bomb and threw it in. We had a large collections of bath bombs, we're girls, what do you except. I made sure that the flat door was locked, before stripping and getting in. As always, I sat there looking at the case files, while soaking in the warm water. Something about the ' Crood ' case didn't seen right, I needed to speak with Maloni, maybe it would lead me to the right answers. Clifford hadn't left my mind once, the look in his eyes was so pure, none of them were guilty, there was no way they could've done this. Sure they all had anger issues, but I doubt they could kill someone. I reached over and grabbed my cell phone and dialed Ashton,   " Hello? " he chirped happily. " Ash, I need the address  for someone, do you think you can find it out for me? " I asked nervously, he sighed deeply " Alright, what's the name? ". " Maloni Crood " I stated, " What's this for Mel? " Ashton asked, I could hear him typing on his computer.  " I just think... The Crood case has something to do with the Clifford case " I said nonchalantly, he groaned " Mel... ".      " No Ashton, don't Mel me. Can't you just trust me this one time, I just need to know if they're connected " I sighed rubbing my forehead, he sighed giving in " Alright, but I better not get fired for helping you ". ( Why would he get fired for helping his partner, for a case ), " Only for you Mel.... " he added with a slight mumble to his voice. " Thanks Ash, I'll owe you a drink the next time we all go out " I stated with a smirk, he let out a deep chuckle " Mel, you'll owe me several drinks ".

I quickly got out of the bath and changed into some pajama's, I was planning on driving to Maloni's house within the next couple of days, I just had to check my schedule for work. I got into bed and yawned, but I wasn't feeling that tired. I read a little more of Maloni's case, before passing out.

***************************************************

I sat up quickly, after having another nightmare. I had sweat running down my face, I was clutching the sheets and I was out of breath. It was probably one of the worst I'd ever have, I glanced at the clock on my bedside table, it was only 4:10 am. I let out a loud groan and threw the covers off of me, I couldn't go back to sleep now, I was afraid and that doesn't happen to me often. I stood up and sighed as I grabbed my jumper and a pair of flip flops, with my phone in hand, I decided to walk over to a small cafe that was open 24/7. I needed coffee and something to eat, the more these dreams accrued the more worried I became. Maybe it was because I was keeping a secret from everyone, I mean I was lying to all the people I've known my entire life, just to protect these guys that I had just met. I just felt I needed to do this, for them.

I walked into the ' Rejects ' cafe, it was an urban like cafe, kinda dark lighting, music was played. It was oddly empty, but then again it was half four in the morning. I sat down at a small table and grabbed one of the menu's, I was only sitting there for 5 minutes, when someone sat down across from me. I looked up slowly to meet the blue eyes of Hemmings, I let out a small groan, it was far to early for this. He had a curious look on his face, but it didn't take him long to flash me a smile. At first I was a loss for words ( My god, he was charming ), so I ended up just saying the first thing that came to my head. " What are you doing here? Aren't you afraid of getting caught? " I blurted out, he chuckled and shook his head " Aren't you afraid of getting caught talking to to a so called Criminal? ". I shook my head slightly, " Plus, Calum's family owns this cafe and it's the only place in town, where we're welcome " he added glancing down. " Well, that explains the name of the cafe " I mumbled, he shot me a glare, but  his face softened.
