The low hum of the printers filled the room as I sat back down in my chair working late on a tough case. Again. I take a deep breath and look back at every page, making sure I didn't miss a thing.
The small room around me starts to feel a little bit empty, Elliot had left for home almost an hour ago. It was his weekend with the kids, an arrangement that him and Kathy had worked out since they had been separated, but not legally divorced. I could tell that he had tried his best, but their marriage had been slowly crumbling for a while now. He had begun sleeping in the cribs again, a habit that he had developed when things were tough at home.
Every now and again I would have to wake him up, slowly walking in and gently touching his shoulder. His eyes would flutter open and a smile would form across his face, instantly melting every bone in my body. He would place his hand on top of mine, the rough pads of his fingers swiping across mine. It would only last a couple of seconds, but I would try and keep those seconds in my memory forever. After, he would act like it never happened, confusing me and making me want to run away from what I truly felt.
I flip through the pages again, and click my pen a couple of times out of frustration. This case just felt different from the others. I'd reviewed the victims and their circumstances countless times but still nothing new had surfaced. I knew there was something missing out of this case, so I skim the details trying to find possible information that I had just overlooked. I lean back in my chair once more, stretching my back when I hear a door open from across the room. I look across the room, getting up cautiously and drawing my gun. My eyes just meet the darkness from across the room as a take a couple more steps.
A/N: Hey guys! I've been wanting to start a new story for a while now so here it is :) I will be updating Semper Fi in a couple of days, but haven't really been feeling like writing for it. I hope you guys enjoy this first chapter and I will see you all soon.
