For the past week, Finn has been recovering from his injury. He's refused to see anyone other than Sage or Grayson. I take no offense to it. I know that he needs his space.
He lost a huge part of him, after all.
Because of Finn's injury however, I'm stuck working on the Conexico case alone with Eros. Finn and I discovered something big with the warehouse, but taking down a big corporation like that goes farther beyond the place where they make their drugs. You have to take it down from the source.
I never really told Eros why it has just been me working with him on this case, but at the same time, he never asked. I don't think he even cares. Eros didn't seem to like Sage or Finn working with us in the first place.
I'm sitting at the island table of Eros' apartment now, overseeing some documents for his work at GD News. Unfortunately, I still have to pose as his secretary.
"Did you hear?" I peer up at him as he refills the water into my almost empty glass.
He slides it to me before turning around to get himself a glass. "What?"
"About Finn," I say. "I'm not sure if Dawson told you but we were attacked last week and Finn... Well, he got hurt."
Eros pauses then turns around again. "Is he okay?"
I shake my head. "He's lost most of his hearing from blunt force trauma-"
The pitcher in Eros' hand drops to the ground. I spring up from my stool at the sudden noise, and my eyes fixate on the large water puddle on the ground.
"Oh shoot." I bend down to pick up the pitcher and place it on the island.
Eros laughs, and I notice the awkwardness of it. "It's alright. Just water." He clears his throat. "Can you grab the mop from the closet?"
I step around the water spill and head down the hall to the small utility closet. When I open the door, I'm met with several tools hanging up on the walls. The mop is in a bucket in the corner of the closet, and when I lift it up, I see something else inside the bucket.
It's a hammer. But not just any hammer.
It looks identical to the one that hit Finn.
I set the mop to the side and squat down to pick up the hammer. My hand lifts it, shaking as I grasp the handle.
"Mavis?" Eros calls from down the hall. "Did you find it?"
I frantically throw the hammer back into the bucket and stand up to grab the mop. "Yeah!"
My eyes are teary as I close the closet door and walk back into the kitchen. Unfortunately for me, Eros notices this.
"What's wrong?" he asks as he takes the mop from my hands.
