UNLAWFUL

PART I|| BE MY GUEST

SATOURI'S POV

It has been a few days and Rafael Moore has made progress remarkably although he had no idea was in the the house of a detective he has been a bit unconscious, I poured the remaining bits of the red wine only to notice that I had empty it I sighed when Rose stood beside me.

"He may or may not have Ulcer and his kidney might be damaged because apparently instead of food he has been going for alcohol and so have you." She reported side eyeing my drink, drinking was one of my hobbies

"But he's going to get better?" I asked paying no attention to her concern about my drinking. Yes. I did have a drinking problem.

"If and only if he's taken care of properly. I noticed a broken rib but it's nothing that I can't fix." She added.

"I'm so grateful, so so grateful." I said lowly.

"No need to be, because if it were me you'd do the exact same thing." She smiled. "But that's a fine man!" I laughed at her statement and walked towards his, he was good looking alright, he really was, he had brown hair and I'm pretty sure he had brown eyes as well, he had a mustache which was overgrown and so was his subtle,  the bruises on his face had started to heal up but I was sure some of them would leave scars. My door bell rang and I looked at the nurse in front of me and got out going straight to the door, when she clicked the door locked from behind

I slowly opened my the door to my home and saw Ben and a smile lit up my face, Ben was my partner in all investigations that I had been doing, she was happily married with a daughter which was why she hasn't been present

"Hi!!" She said so gleefully and I embraced her.

"Ben!!" I hummed, melting into the hug. "How are you? How's your husband and your daughter I hope you had a great maternity break!"

"I'm doing good, I came over to check up on you, I had called and emailed but to no Avail." She gave me this knowing look as she shut the door behind her.

"I haven't been on my phone."

"Well you should." She gave me a little pinch. "I came her to let you know that my break is over and I'm ready to get back to work, heard you're reopening the MOORES case."

"Yes, yes I am. He got out of jail but how?" I asked confused on how this man escaped

"It stills baffles me." She answered walking towards my kitchen, I followed swiftly behind her.

"Want some coffee?" She asked and I nodded. "How about this? Tomorrow is my baby's baptism and I wanted to let you know that i will love to be her Godmother."

I took series of breathes looking for the right way to say yes, I gave her a huge smile and she took that as a yes.

"But that isn't all, I wanted us to visit the Prison and his guest house after the ceremony."

"But we have no search warrant!" I exclaimed

"So?" She questioned, sitting opposite me with her ankle across her legs. "This case has been on since 2015 it's been on for years, you're the only person that has brought us to climax we need to finish this."

"We do." I inhaled my coffee and took a long sip causing it to burn its way to through my tongue down to my throat.

"Partners?" She stretched her hands towards me.

"Partners.." I shook her hand and smiled softly.

-
The infant baptism went by a blur, I was late because I had to stop by and gift my Goddaughter, who was named 'ELSA' Ben had given birth to the cutest little babe in the whole world she and her husband looked incredibly good together the ceremony passed while I looked at the happy couple, the kind of happiness that I won't experience which was sad, I didn't have a great childhood while growing up and neither didn't grow up in a happy home and I don't expect myself to build one, I liked where my life was as of now and forever. I was rich enough, I was contented. I didn't really need to be happy.
