Chapter 12: Back to work

"Kate, oh Kate? Where aren't thou?" I ask in my Romeo/Shakespeare style voice.

"Over here, watching TV."

"Man, you ruin all the fun."

"Well, Tommy, to be fair, it was kind of stupid."

"Not romantic enough for the princess?"

"Should I kick you again, llama head?"

"Not unless if you want more of this." and as I say that I raise up one eyebrow and kind of wiggle it a little and have my hands represent my body.

"No, I don't want more of that."

"Aww, come on."

"Fine."

"Thank you princess, thank you." and then I lean in to kiss her again, getting her finger as my target. "Hey, no fair."

"Is this no fair?" she asks me, then strikes a punch.

"Not unless if I do this!" kicking her back while blocking the punch.

"Oh, this is more like it! If this could be a date, then this would be the best da-"

And she's cut off by yet another kiss.

"This is the best date ever then." I reply back, and then I get kicked again in the place. Again.

"You really have to stop doing that girl."

"Why should I?"

"Because I found something that might lead to us finding the suspect."

"Ooh, really? Like what?" she asks me very eagerly.

"Well, while you were doing physics, I was the responsible one."

"Bye skipping class?"

"Hardy har har. No. I overheard a conversation. Here, I took a few notes. Take a look."

I hand her the yellow pad and she scans it over once, twice, three times, as I follow her quick eye movements flying across the skinny, bright page of paper.

"Did you hear what he sounded like?"

"Which one, Jack or the boss."

"Both."

"Well, the boss had a kind of deeper voice, kind of Rex's volume, that pitch. And Jack's voice wasn't really low, but more kind of high pitched for a boy. Don't you kind that find of strange that a boy's in college and might still be going through puberty?"

"So we're looking for a kid who's name's Jack Sylvia who's voice is kind of high pitched."

"He's also around 5'6 or 5'7. That's what Rex said."

"Roger that, Dave."

"What are you now, a spy plane flyer?"

"No, I'm calling you Dave because I'm bored, that's why."

"Nothing can excite a girl who's basically done everything."

"Aww, look, it seems like our little llama head has actually gotten some common sense! That's so sweet."

"glad you're starting to find a liking to all of this." I say, again wiggling my eyebrow as I go in for the big one.

I'm leaning in, lips puckered, eyes forward, ever so slowly. Ready to snatch her at just the right moment. this should work out well.

"Tommy, what are you doing?"

"Having a little fun, that's all." and this kiss seemed better than most. I know I just had a breath mint, so I smell minty and she smells like caramel. Mmmm, caramel.

And then my stupid phone starts ringing.

Rex.

"Status update time, Tommy. Oh and, I think we have found something that you might want to come and check out, or at least hear."

"Yeah, I think we will. But, we've also found something Rex, I think you might like to hear about it too."

What will Rex have for information? Isn't the same thing as what Tommy has? Try guessing!
