"Hm. Two more bodies. Wow." She looks seeing the large men carry the black body bags to the ambulance. These children couldn't be more than 19 years old. Whoever did it was smart. That's all she could say. Very twisted in the head. Who would do this? Shaking her now empty coffee cup, she sighed before heading back to her 1972 Dodge Challenger. Slamming the door with a heavy heart, she shakes his head before exiting the parking lot.

Entering the morgue, she puts her coat over her the folded cease of her arm before entering the cold halls. As a cop, you would think you see this every day. Why be so creeped out by the morgue? It becomes creepy knowing these people had lives once too. What did they like? Like to do? Did they have a favorite food or something? Being put to permanent rest had her freaked out. Sometimes death feared her but she more so she feared death. It was times like this.

"Badass Wells! How you doing today?" Rolling her eyes at her brother in law, he chuckles knowing she had that same mug on her face. After knowing her for years he could say he never once seen her drink or dance. She was just a hard working woman who worked hard to get where she was. Raking her hands through her short pixie cut, she sighs knowingly.

"Kids, Rex. They were just kids." He nods with a sad sigh, while she wiped the unfallen tear from her eyes. She was gonna get justice for these children.

"Whoever did it is extremely smart but sick in the head, you see that?" She looks over at the body of the teenage girl seeing the pads of her fingers missing. They didn't take the nails, or the whole fingers. "Smart, but not so smart. The nails are still there-"

"But look underneath." Lifting the bodies hand with her glove covered hands, she nods not seeing a speck of dirt or residue.

"Bleach?"

"This was done not even a full 24 hours. Meaning this is new. The person is left handed. I checked and no DNA was left which means he cleaned up after himself. And this was done while she was still alive, he wanted her to suffer. Look at the print around her neck it's too big for a woman." She looks seeing a purplish bruise around the girls neck.

"And there's milk in her system. He made her choke on milk. I don't know but this seems like a vendetta. I mean, of all liquids, why milk?" She nods seeing him tilt his head in confusion. James or Rex was a forensic scientist. He loved his job and did it well since he graduated from college. He got the job done and although Amber considered him childish, she could say he got his work done well.

"You're not ready for this one." She sighs seeing him shake his head from the sight he saw before she arrived. "Just show me!" He nods pulling unlocking the steel door. Pulling out the evidence, he pulls the white sheet back causing her to gag. "Oh my gosh! Who would do this to a teenage boy?!"

"Yeah, whoever he is, is sick."

Arriving home, she enters the small family home hearing the slight meows of her pets. Smiling to herself, she walks closer before stopping seeing one of her cats cuddle into her feet. "Hey, big boyyy! Aww, you're getting so big! Yes you are! Mhmm, yes you are!" She smiles seeing him rest against her chest with a yawn.

"Hey babe." Crawling towards her on the wide spread bed, she kisses her lips seeing her look so shiny and cute. "Hi, I'm sorry I'm just not in the mood." Amber nods before laying her head on her shoulder. Grabbing her hands in hers, she kisses it hearing her sigh in distress. "It's a lot, all these things happening. So many kids at my baby's school are, you know?" Amber nods hearing her sound so panicked.

"I don't want nothing to happen to her. A car just hit her! These bills are high! We still don't know who did it. She says it was an accident but still! And I can tell she's back to her old ways. I mean, her eyes are so glossy-" She didn't know what to do to help her baby.

"Babe!" Seeing her take a deep breath, she nods seeing her calm down some.

"I get it, we have to help her before she gets too far gone. Don't worry, I got y'all. And I tried asking her but she said the same thing. It was an accident, someone brought her to the hospital that day so there isn't much to go off of. All I can say is we get her some therapy. Maybe online school? At least until she graduates. I know she would hate it but this is just until we figure out what's going on. Okay?" Getting a smile in return, she smiles before kissing her head. "Love you."

"Love you more."

"Boooooo! Stopppp! I don't like this!" He sighs seeing her play with her belly fat with a pout. He unwraps his arms from around her as she whimpers to the known feeling of tears coming. Knowing what's to come, he quickly pulled her into a soft warm hug while she cried. "I've gotten bigger!" He rubs her head while she cries in his uncovered chest. It broke his heart to see her like this. All he wanted was to see her smile. "C'mere." Sitting on her bed, he pulls her onto his lap while he hugged her tight. "See this?" She looks to where his he was pointing, she nods seeing him point to her mirror.

"You sitting fully in my lap. I don't have to tell you to sit. I don't have to pull you down. I'm comfortable. I can kiss on you and hug on you whenever I want. If you gain anything, so what? You think I'll be mad if you gain weight? Like, I met you and guess what?" Grabbing her chin, he wipes her tears before holding her face up to the very big pink mirror he got her for her birthday. "I met you and I saw you. I saw that brain, that cute smile, them thick ass thighs." She giggles while he playfully slapped her thighs.

"I saw a big girl but I love this big girl. I saw you and I was like damn! Who that is?! That ass is scrumptious!" She laughs while he kissed her neck. She liked feeling of his warm embrace.

"But why would I feel a way if you gain weight? I mean, if it becomes unhealthy for you then I'll help you because I love you. But you are already beautiful to me. You for me and I'm for you. You got the keys, the papers, the everything to my heart ma. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. I love you Jenna." Giving him a big great smile, he smiles before leaning his head in her neck and rocking them back and forth. He meant everything he said. He loved this girl.

"Yeah, I was thinking about doing it after graduation. Before I go off to college we can go on a trip anywhere you wanna go." She smiled while he snuggled into her breast comfortably. Rubbing his uncovered back he yawns in her chest feeling sleep coming to take him away.

"We haven't talked about that. I mean, we literally got a few months of school left. Do we do long distance? How does that work? I don't wanna lose you."  He nods while she sighed just thinking about college life. I mean, there's plenty of fine women. Parties! Groupies! Bitches shaking ass. She was scared to lose her sweet boy.

"We gon' be together. I'll make it work. Trust me, and you'n have to worry about no other female. I'm all about you." She smiles while ruffling his curly hair while he slowly dozed off to sleep.

"I'm all about you too sweetheart."
