ODDS OF LOVE : SEASON ELEVEN

Episode 150

Jeremiah stepped into the ladies room where Amanda stood behind Faith who was splashing cold water from the sink on her strained looking face.

Both of the women turned to stare at him in amazement.

Amanda snapped tersely," You can't be in here ! Not anymore. "

Jeremiah ignored her except to say," I can be anywhere I want to be. Who gone stop me? "

Then he turned to Faith who looked at him with confusion and bloodshot eyes. " You. Are. An. Alcoholic. I know you are. Richard told us because he didn't want any surprises during this shit of yours. I got us a postponement for today. You are welcome. We'll be back tomorrow and I expect your ass to be sober. If it's not I will quit as your lawyer of record. Get your nappy headed behind to an AA meeting. Find your sponsor. Whatever. Today. And do not leave from the front. Go out the back way. I've heard Lazarus Jones is having a rally today and where he is the media is. The last thing you need is the media from tv news or that Scott Sands seeing your drunk ass. Not now. Do you understand me , Detective Lane ?"

Faith sighed. She understood him. She wished he would shut up right now. Her head was pounding like elephants were trampling over it. " Yes. I understand. "

Jeremiah shook his head. " Good. Because I don't care what your rank is. In this courthouse right now with you on this case I am currently the HNIC. "

Then he smoothed down his suit jacket and ran his hand confidently over his close cropped dark hair. " Now let's get the fuck out of here and get some brunch. My treat. Although, Detective Lane , I'm billing you for it. "

Amanda rolled her eyes. Even with a different name and a damn dick this was still her Janice to a tee. And she missed her. She loved her. Fuck it all.
