The Unknown

Dominic Hayes. 7:00 am

I woke up from my king-size bed, removing my arm from my girlfriend, Holly, and did my morning hygiene, getting ready to do another long shift at the precinct. I drank my coffee as I looked out my window looking at the view of Los Angeles. I was born and raised in Virginia since I was 18. I went to school to get my degree in forensic science, and once I completed that I got promoted to Detective, I worked in homicide but that shit gives you nightmares. Now I'm a lead detective in narcotics. I wouldn't trade my job for the world.

After I finished my coffee I took a quick shower and got dressed. I grabbed my badge and gun and left the house. Being a Detective keeps you away from having a normal life. I'm barely home with my girlfriend and I can barely find time to go visit my mom back in Virginia. All I do is work. One day I'll take some time for myself but right now I have criminals to catch.

Pulling into the parking lot of the precinct, I grabbed everything I needed and quickly got out, went inside, and jumped on an elevator. I was early but I know I wasn't the only one. I had interrogations to do and a bunch of shit to do. Look like I'll be here all night again. I walked to my desk and saw my partner and my best friend I grew up with in Virginia, Adonis.

"Wassup man." He said as I sat some of my things down.

"Wassup Adonis, how was last night?" He stayed for me while I went home to see my girlfriend Holly and to get some sleep.

"Easy as fuck. I did everything so we should be good for now. We have a meeting in a few though. Captain wants you." I nodded and made my way to her office. I knocked on the door.

"Come in." I opened the door seeing Captain Benson behind her desk.

"Hayes I got a new case for you." She said as I sat down. She gave me a folder.

"This says UC."

"I know, and you're my best Detective so I definitely need you to be focused on this. We'll be having a meeting in an hour to explain more." I nodded and made my way back to my desk.

"What's that?" Adonis said pointing at the folder.

"It's an undercover case." I opened the folder and saw the name in bold, LAYTON BROOKS.

"What's his background?"

"Her." I stated as he looked up.

"It's a woman?" He questioned.

"Yeah, it says she's a queenpin. She has been arrested 5 times. Small drug charges that were always dropped. They have overseas accounts that they think are connected to her. Look at how much money is in these accounts, bro!" I passed the account statements over to him.

"6 million in each account, damn."

"If she's this big-time drug dealer, why the hell have we never heard of her?" I asked.

"I don't know, but maybe that's a good thing for her. She can get away with a lot of shit if the police don't know nothing about you."

"Well, that's coming to an end soon."

"Champ what if she's cold as hell and you fuck her and fall in love with her?" I laughed.

"Doubt that plus you know I got Holly, man, she probably just some girl from the projects that was tryna make it out."

"We'll see and you know how I feel about Ms. Holly."

I typed in her name in the computer to pull up her mugshot. Surprisingly nothing came up. I'm kind of interested in seeing who this girl is.
