Ordinary Life

Collaboration

That same night, I went to visit Faith at her home, just me and her to just have some girl time. "So, tell me about Paris. I'm sure you had the time of your life." Faith said to me. "Faith, it was magical. Bruno really went all out." I didn't want to talk about the negative that happened, because she would automatically believe he is a bad person, and that is something Bruno is not.

"Bruno must be a really good guy." "Honestly Faith, I feel different ever since I've met him. I feel more laid back, more open." I expressed. "But you know Eve, you've always been like that. Especially around me and Charlie. It's just that Bruno helped you realize that."

"So how's it going up there at the headquarters. How's the case?" I asked. "The case is temporarily closed. No one can find anything. Justin made the declaration, back in January." "Closing a case is so odd, when nothing has been solved." "Well its in the handbook. Justin even seemed puzzled."

I nodded my head trying to allow all of this to sink in. "Justin even requested to bring you back for the case but chief wouldn't allow it." Faith said. "Chief doesn't allow shit, but I do know the killers are apart of the staff. I just don't know who." I said. "Well what do you know?" Faith asked.

"I know that in a surveillance tape that I watched one of the men dropped a knife with a zodiac sign on it, and when I looked up the sign, it's under the Scorpio catergory." I said. "Okay, well the killers have to be born between October 23 and November 21st." Faith said.

"If only we could find out those who's birthdays are between those days from my computer." Faith gave me a funny look. "Who says we can't use the FBI computers?" Faith went into her purse and pulled out her badge. "I carry it everywhere I go."

"But what if we can't get into the computer? Charlie knows how to hack into that stuff." I said. "Well we'll bring his smart technological ass with us then." Faith said.

Faith was driving while I was in the passenger seat, and Charlie, who was angry, was in the back seat. "You bitches owe me food for this. I was in the middle of binge watching Netflix."

"Oh poor baby, I'll mommy will feed you when we are done." "Fuck you Faith." I threw my hands up and said, "Will you two knock it off?!" I shouted. "This is serous business okay? And the last I thing I need you two is to bicker over something stupid." I turned around and said to Charlie, "We will get you good, on my dime. Okay?" "I'd like pancakes." Charlie folded his arms.

My phone rang and I looked at the caller ID. It was Bruno. "Hey baby." I answered. "Hey, I just wanted to check up on you. Is everything okay?" He asked. "Yeah, everything is okay babe, just out wth Charlie and Faith."

"Okay babe." Bruno said. "Have fun and be safe." "I will. Love you." "Love you too. Bye." I hung up the phone.

"You guys are so cute together. I'm so happy for you." Faith said to me. "Thank you. He makes me happy." I say with a smile on my face.

Faith, Charlie, and I all walked into the building and Faith scanned her ID to get into the passed the security doors.

When we all walked inside and up to th 4th floor, I felt like I was back home. The smell of fresh coffee being brewed in the morning, the smiles and laughter I'd here when I walked through that door. I even took a stroll to my old office. "You want to go inside?" Faith asked. I nodded my head, just to get this feeling again.

Faith unlocked the door and opened it. I walked in and turned on the lights. I closed my eyes, and reminisced the old days in here. So many memories good and bad. I ran my fingers along my desk, which has collected dust over the time, and admired my bookshelf which was filled with many novels based on criminal justice.

Finally, I took a seat in my old chair. "Wow." I said. "Its just...so surreal. This all used to be mine." I said.

"Guys, I got in!" Charlie yelled in a whisper. I jumped out of my chair, and Faith and I ran to another office when Charlie was in. "These are all the people born between October 23 and November 21."

"What the hell, there's over 50 people on here." Faith said. "I don't care." I said. "Print it out, and make sure they're names are on it. I'm going to find those motherfuckers."

Not only did these men kill two innocent people, but they have attacked me, followed me, and almost raped me. When I find them, they will experience what I experienced. Hell.
