Melting The Ice Queen

Chapter 10 Briella POV

Few hours before

Walking away from that pathetic excuse of a paramedic was quite .. endearing. I feel better after chewing him up for his incompetence but obviously don't show it because it's unprofessional .. or whatever.

That was .. nice .. wish I could do that more often .

I look around and spot my sister talking with a stand by officer. I wait for her to finish up talking with him and walk up to her.

"Bridget .. how are you? Did you and the other officer catch the robbers?"

I ask her in a calm voice and look at her with a curious glint in my green eyes. She looks at me with a small frown and nod.

"Umm well .. we did catch .. one of them .. the other two got away."

She mumbles quietly and shuffles with her legs nervously. My eyebrows rise slightly as I hear that.

What ? She let them get away? Why?

"What ? You let them get away? Why?"

My voice coming out more accusatory than I have intended, I mentally smack my forehead when I see her hurt expression.

"Oh sorry Bridget .. didn't mean for it to come out like that .. I meant to say that .. why did they get away?"

I say in a quiet voice and look at him softly. She looks at me with a small frown and nods.

"I know you didn't mean it .. you never mean anything."

She says in a strained voice with a hint of sarcasm but that might be in my head.

"Well they got away because the guy we DID catch tripped and made us come to a halt since he fell down in front of our feet .. look im sorry for letting him get away Briella .. I didn't mean to."

I nod with soft eyes and the corner of my lip twitches slightly. I place my hand on her shoulder and let out a soft sigh.

"I know you didn't Bridget .. you would never hurt someone."

I mumble quietly and give her shoulder a gentle squeeze. She looks up at me with watery eyes and nods her head with a small, unsure smile.

"Thank you Icy .. you're right .. and I have to say .. I think you're getting softer."

She says in a more lighthearted voice and nudges my arm. I let out a quiet groan and shake my head.

"Maybe .. "

I murmur quietly to myself and take my hand back. I clear my throat and brush some of my black curls out of my face.

"So .. are you going to get on the case and catch those robbers? Or is someone else taking the case?"

I say in a quiet voice and lean my back against some kind of police car. I Look at her with a curious expression and purse my lips slightly. Bridget looks at me with a determined expression and nods her face furiously.

"Heck yeah .. I'll catch those robbers and make them pay for hurting that handsome man."

Her cheeks turn slightly pink when she sees my confused expression and stammers out quietly.

"A-and of course f-for stealing Money too .. you know."

She mumbles in a flustered voice and shrugs her shoulders. I tilt my head in confusion and my eyes flicker towards mister Walker as he stares at me. His eyes widen as our eyes meet and looks away with a small smile. My eyes stay on him for few seconds before looking back at Bridget.

"You mean Mister Walker?"

I mumble in a hushed voice, asking if she was referring to him as the "Injured handsome man". Bridget looks at me with flustered expression and nods.

"Yeah ... wait .. you know his name? How?"

She asks me in a excited voice and leans in closer to with a curious expression. I lean back to put some distance between us and look at her with a slightly nervous expression.

"Umm well .. he is the man that was injured .. that is why I had to stay behind and let you chase the robbers."

I mumble quietly with furrowed eyebrows at her .. enthusiasm? excitement? I don't know why she is acting like this but she lets out a soft giggle as she keeps glancing over my shoulder, looking at mister Walker and shrugs her shoulders.

"Oh okay .. can you do me a favour and make sure that he makes it home safely? Since he is injured."

She says in a soft voice and takes my hands into hers as she looks at me with a pleading and a excited expression. I think that is the expression she has. The feeling of surprise overcomes me as I raise an eyebrow at her request.

Why does she want to know? Why does she care so much? Does she likes him? But she hasn't met him.

"Yea .. okay .. I can do that .. but why do you care Bridget?"

I mumble quietly and look into her hazel eyes. She smiles happily and takes her hands back. While shrugging her shoulders, she flips her blonde over her shoulder and smirks at me slightly.

"It doesn't matter icy .. just do as I ask you please .. I'll see you later .. bye~"

She says in a happy voice and walks away from me, leaving me slightly dumbfounded and without any answers. I let out a soft groan and massage my temples.

Jeez. Can't Bridget give me a straight answer? Whatever .. I'm just going to get Mister Walker to his place and get back to the pricing so that I can look over that case about Franziska.

I think to myself and walk over to mister Walker. I walk over to him and look down at him as he stares at the ground, presumably zoning out.

"Mister Walker?.. Are you okay?"

I mumble quietly and wait for him to answer me but to no avail. I raise an eyebrow and clear my throat to get his attention but that doesn't work either.

"MISTER WALKER."

Present time

Suddenly a loud, piercing noise makes snap out of my thoughts as a car behind me honks at me. I look up at the street light and notice that it had turned from red or green a long time ago.

Oh shit .. I zoned out.

The guy keeps yelling at me to move and I start to drive and cross the light right as it turns red again. I let out a sigh of relief when the sound of the guys yelling and honking becomes quieter as I drive away.

Whew .. that was .. interesting .. I should really stay focused and not zone out while driving.

I think to myself as my thoughts drift towards mister Walker. His nervous and panicky expressions while trying to calm his younger sister down was kinda .. charming? Cute?

Hmm his flustered expression was .. cute I guess .. his nervous and frantic hand waving is .. silly. Hmm I guess I should thank him for trying to defend me from his sister .. if I ever see him that is .. but I doubt it.

I think to myself and pull up by the precinct. I park my car and get out with the bag of sandwiches and coffee from the bakery. After locking the car, I walk into the precincts and set the stuff on my desk before slumping back into my chair.

God I have a massive headache. This morning was sure .. interesting? I guess it was quite entertaining to put that paramedic in his place but all the other interactions were exhausting at best and irritating at worst I guess.

Massaging my temples, I turn my computer back on to continue working on that case.

Here we go .. we have work to do and no time to waste.
