  "Stop!" I yell as I continue to chase the guy, Chase was gone the other way to cut him off. He turns the corner and I see him falling to the ground.

  Chase walks out pulling him up from the ground by his shirt and I close the gap between us. I take a deep breath in as I come to a stop.

  "Why the hell were you running from me?" I talk my voice breathy. Thank god Chase was here or he'd get away.

  Stupid cunt. Why must you continue to hurt so much? "Who are you guys?" He asked afraid. "You're worst nightmare if you don't answer the lady's question." Chase interjects.

  "Are you guys working for my father?" He asked while looking at us afraid. "Why would we be working for him?" I asked confused.

  "With all the murders going on he needs protection. He doesn't want me being around Nessa so I ran when I saw you guys. I thought you worked for him."

  Chase lets go of him and I proceed to ask him a question. "Uh, why would your dad want you to be away from your girlfriend?" I asked and I'm still confused.

  "He thinks she's linked to the murders and that if the guys that did that to her saw me around they'd attack me too. I thought this guy was one of his securities." He says looking at Chase. "Me?" He ask and his eyes widen. The guy nods and I start wondering why his dad would think that. He must know something.

  "I think I've seen you with my dad before..." he says. "Chase?" I call his name confused. "It wasn't me. Why would I be around your dad I'm a detective?" He asks sarcastically.

  "Maybe I'm mistaken. May I go now?" He asks fixing his shirt. "Wait. Do you know anything about your dad and Hemingway?" I asked remembering when Nessa told me that his dad wants him in the business.

  "I don't know much as I'm not interested. I just know that Hemingway wasn't a good partner and my dad hated hi- I'm sorry I said too much. Please let me go." He says and Chase steps in. "No finish what you have to say." Chase commands.

  "I can't my dad will have my head if he even sees me talking to cops." He says in a panicked voice. A car pulls up honking and he runs away again. "For fucks sake."  I growl throwing my hands up.

  "We are one step closer to solving the case." Chasw says, "How?" I asked in an exhausted voice. "We know that Everton had it out for Hemingway, he hates the man and his son confirmed it, he could be the one responsible for him and his wife's death. He probably doesn't want us to find the son. That would explain what he had done to Nessa." He states.

  "But how would he know that she knows anything?" I asked. "Didn't she say in the message that Mrs. Hemingway ran into her? Maybe whoever was chasing her thought she said something to her." 

  "Right. Lets get to Nessa's maybe we can find the picture, track the mother down and then that will lead us to the boy that's gonna own a fortune soon."  I inquired. Chase nods and we head back to his car.

                                ****
   "I hope we get rid of this case soon. I need it out of the way so I can focus on you." He says not taking his eyes off the road and I can't help but blush.

  "I can't wait either." I said looking at him and reaching out for his face to touch him. He reaches up holding my hand and putting his fingers between mine.

  He then places a kiss on my hand and gives me a squeeze. "I had no idea you could be such a gentleman." I said teasingly. "I guess you bring out the best in me." He says and he turns his head to look at me leaving a smile and a wink before he turns his gaze back on the road.

  We hold hands until we are at Nessa's, talking and laughing at each others jokes. I felt good, I felt happy.

  We arrive at Nessa's apartment and we proceeded up the stairs, Chase behind me. I feel a slap on my ass haulting me in my tracks I spin around, frightened and he laughs.

   "I couldn't help it. Your ass just looked so good going up these stairs." I smile at him and he walks up to the same stair as me. He places his hands on the wall behind me and started looking into my eyes.

  "Why did I take so long to make a move?" He asks, his voice soft and his face close to mine. "I don't know Chase I wonder the same thing." I said and we both start chuckling.

  He plants his lips on mine for five seconds, exhaling the breath I didn't know he inhaled before removing them, he looks into my eyes and then he starts kissing me again cupping my face.

  "Mmmm." I moan as the kiss depends. Why was he doing this now? We have work to do. "Ch..a.se." I call his name and he shushes me by putting his tongue in my mouth. The way he moves his tongue reminds me of last night and how I almost orgasmed in his mouth.

  His hand slid down my body stopping at the hem of my shirt. One hand behind my neck the other sliding up my blouse. Was he forgetting where we were? His hand latches onto my breast and I break the kiss.

  "Chase! Are you forgetting where we are and what we should be doing?" I asked. "I know who I want to be doing." He smirks, his hands still in their same position except he's massaging my breast.

   I start frowning and then I yank his hand from under my blouse. "I'm sorry babe I don't know what came over me... I guess I can't help myself around you." He says brushing his hands through his hair.

  I roll my eyes "Boys." And proceeded up the stairs. We arrive at Nessa's door and it's cracked. Chase pushes me behind him and and we both draw our guns.

  He slowly pushes the door and something clicks, before I know it  my feet are off the ground and I'm going backwards and Chase is flying through the air with me. It was a bomb, I fall to the ground and my head hits the ground, hard. Everything goes black and there is silence.
