Could be worse... (Broadchurch fan fiction)

A Case

"Meg, wake up!" Ellie shouts. I wake up with a startle and then grab onto my head with a groan, "Hangover?" "Yep," she says. I sigh and get up, rubbing my temple. "It's your fault. I told you that I didn't want another drink," I say. I groan as she hands me some aspirin and a glass of water, "I really hate you, Ellie." She softly smiles at me and hands me my clothes for works, I take the medicine and change into my clothes. I still feel sick and dizzy. "Maybe you should drive," I say as I grab my gun and badge, she takes my keys before I can reach for my purse. I let her take her car and leave mine at my house, "So, anything came up?" She sighs and hands me a file. "A girl was found murdered last night," she says grimly. "Well, things are becoming weird around here," I say while reading the file that Ellie had handed me.

~Office~

"What is he doing here?!" I shout as I enter my office to see Alec sitting in my swivel chair. "I'm working on the case with you and Miller," he says with a blank expression. I sit the file on my desk and sit in a chair in front of the desk. "So, you're taking over office?" I ask with annoyance. "Actually, it's our office," Alec says with a smile. He is enjoying this, I think to myself. "Yeah whatever just try not to mess up anything."
