CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO back to the beginning
⊱ ──────── {.⋅ ✯ ⋅.} ──────── ⊰
THE LAST THING Juliet wanted to do was be dragged on a double date between Iris and Eddie and Barry and Linda and be a fifth wheel, but she also didn't want to be alone.
Turns out, she ended up being alone. Juliet laid on her couch in her apartment, her cheek in the palm of her hand. A box of pizza was in front of her, and she was eating it as she watched Cinderella — the original version from the 50's. Don't ask why she was watching it, she just was.
Suddenly, her phone rang. Juliet paused her movie and set down her pizza crust in the box. She looked to see that it was Cisco calling. Juliet answered.
"What's up?" Juliet asked.
"There's a silent alarm that's been tripped at the Central City Morgue," Cisco revealed.
Juliet's eyebrows knit in confusion. "Who the fuck would want to rob a morgue?"
"Exactly what Dr. Wells said. Well, minus the curses. Barry'll probably meet you there."
She hung up the phone. Juliet discarded her dinner and movie and teleported away from her apartment. She teleported into her suit back at S.T.A.R. Labs before going to the morgue. Juliet appeared in a room, and Barry sped in next to her. She gave him a fleeting smile before the two of them wandered further into the room. Her heart instantly sank at the sight of the coroner, dead on the ground.
"What's going on?" Cisco asked. "What do you see?"
"A dead body," Barry answered.
"Barry, you're in a morgue. You're gonna have to be a little more specific than that. JJ, please help."
"It's the coroner," Juliet added. "He's the dead body."
The two superheroes went away for a moment when they noticed police sirens coming. They put their suits back at S.T.A.R. Labs and reappeared at the crime scene, both with coffees and their CSI cases. Barry, however, crashed straight into Captain Singh, spilling water all over the two of them. Juliet shut her eyes in embarrassment for a moment.
"Allen, my fiancé just bought me this!" Captain Singh scolded.
