----------

I opened my eyes slowly becoming face to face with Daphne. She was still sleeping since her eyes were closed. But I knew she was awake and she was pretending to be asleep.

To me she's an open book. I know her line by line, dot by dot, inch by inch. I slightly rolled and laid on my back facing the ceiling.

I do love her. I did not lie when I told her that. It was a fucked up thing though. Her loving a criminal and me loving a detective. But she doesn't have to be a detective now, does she? I can see and sense her slowly changing.

She was born to be a criminal and the more time she spends in my arms the more she realizes how wrong she was when she chose her path. I don't have to worry about it though. I will transform her to someone like me. A smirk sat on my face remembering her words.

"I would never arrest you."

"Elijah and Chloe are on the top of my list, but you,"

"You were never on my list."

I knew she would come around. And I love her for that.
"You're not fooling me Daphne." I said still smirking.
She stirred a little.
"I know you've been awake for a while now." I said.
"How?" she muttered stretching her arms and legs.
"I know you like the back of my hand." I said facing her.

"Oh yeah? Then what am I thinking about right now?" she asked challenging me.
Another reason why I love her. She always challenges me.
"You want me to kiss you." I said my smirk never leaving my face.
She blushed looking away.
"Maybe." She whispered.

I kissed her. Deep and rough.
"You also want breakfast because you're starving." I muttered on her lips.
"You won." She said kissing me again.
I let out a breathy laugh.
A perfect morning routine.

We were eating breakfast and I could feel Tom's glare on me. He's in love with her I can see that. I could see it since the first day. The reason for me asking Daphne to be my friend with benefit was to just piss him off.

Also I should admit that I found her beautiful. So it was a win-win situation. Tom always gets pissed when he sees me and Daphne together. The boy has been simping for her and she has absolute no clue. Poor him. Just to anger him even more I wrapped my hand around Daphne's shoulder and pulled her a little closer. I couldn't help but to smile once Tom turned purple.

"By the way." Daphne whispered to me.
I faced her so she could continue.
"After breakfast we need to go to your office room. I have something important to tell you." She said.
I burrowed my eyebrows together.
"Everything alright?" I asked.
"Yes. I mean .. we'll talk then." She said.

The rest of the meal went by a blink since I kept wondering what Daphne wanted to tell me that was so important and private.
Once we entered my office room, I sat behind my desk and she sat in front of me.

"So I have been looking for someone particular for a while and after many clues and leads I found him." She said.
"Who?" I asked.
"Someone you've been searching for years. Someone you've been planning a revenge in your head since Hazel was three." She said slowly and my visions turned red. She couldn't mean ..

"I found Dave." She said.

Dave.

She found Dave.

"You .. you found Dave." All I saw was red. My grip on the desk was so hard and tight that I could break the glass in a second.
"I have his current address. He's not that far away." She said.
"Dave. You found Dave." I repeated.
That bastard has been found.
"Niall." She said softly placing her hand on my forearm.
