Scary Times @ Crenshaw High

Let Me Explain

It was Sunday morning and Shania was laying in bed with Pungie. She heard a knock at the door and Pungie jumped up. "Who could that be?" she thought to herself. They knocked on the door again and Shania hooped outta bed. There was another knock and Shania shouted "I'M COMING SHIT!" She finally got to the door and saw it was Berlin. She looked at him confused as to how he got her address. She then remembered he was a detective and weird.

Berlin: Shania

Shania: Berlin

Berlin: Can I come in?

Shania: I don't know can you?

Berlin pushed her aside and walked in all while saying " man let me in the motherfucker"Shania had a look on her face as if to say "I know this nigga didn't just push me". "Excuse you" she said with her face scrunched up. Berlin took a seat and patted the spot next to him. Shania walked over and sat down next to him. She looked at him and he looked at the floor.

Shania: So what you want?

Berlin: Listen Shania yesterday I think I poorly explained myself. I'm not cold hearted like you think I am. When I first got this job as a detective I was just like you. I was passionate and I wanted justice for the innocent. I was on a mission to make the guilty pay for their crimes. But one day I had to realize that you can't win them all. Sometimes you have to lose and eat it. You have to take the L and move on. If you take every case personal you will lose your mind and go insane Shania. I like your spirit. You got the right idea but you have to look after your mental health to. If your mental health isn't good you can't help anybody. That's all I was tryna say yesterday but the words wouldn't come together. I hope you can understand

Shania: Berlin you don't have to worry about me. I'm gonna be fine. I've been doing this long enough to know how this goes. I appreciate your concern though

Berlin: Okay

Shania: I just need to know that we're on the same team. I need to know that we're in this for the same reasons. I don't wanna work with the enemy Berlin. I need to be able to trust you

Berlin: Shania you know you can trust me. What have I done to make you question that?

Shania: Nothing Berlin

Berlin: Okay then now we gotta focus on this case and solve it. No more distractions

Shania: Right

Just then Pungie came in meowing cause it was time to eat. Berlin looked at him.

Berlin: So you got a cat?

Shania: I just adopted him off the street. I use to always feed him when he came over but I've decided to keep him

Berlin: What's his name?

Shania: Pungie

Berlin: Pungie? That's a cute name

Pungie looked up at Shania and meowed again as if to say "feed me". Shania got up and grabbed a can of tuna as usual and some water. She sat it down in his bowls so he could eat and drink. She just smiled looking at him. Pungie made Shania happy. When everything else was falling apart he kept her sane. He kept her in a happy mind state. She kneeled down and gave him a kiss on his head as he ate. Berlin looked at Shania and grabbed her by the hand. She looked at him in confusion.

Shania: What

Berlin: Nothing

Shania: Have you eaten yet?

Berlin: No I barely slept last night. I just couldn't stop thinking about what happened

Shania: I could cook you something to eat
