The Adventures of Two Crappy Cops

Part 8

My eyes fluttered open and I smiled as I recognized my surroundings immediately. Smitty's grey walls and his warm bed with a dark blue comforter where comforting but what warmed me up completely was my partner nestled in my arms.

This wasn't to bazaar since both of us have a habit of falling asleep in the others bed. Both of us took comfort in sleeping next to each other and when we shared a dorm in our second year of college we would wake up with the other in our bed almost every morning. It was a bit of a struggle when i moved into my own apartment and he got a house but that's why we have ways for the other to slip in when ever we pleased.

I pulled Smitty closer against me and rested my chin on the top of his head. As always, he was warm in my arms and I hummed in content. If I could wake up like this every morning I'd be the happiest man alive. His legs where pushed between mine and his arms pulled against his chest as he snuggled into my chest and lightly snores.

I began to soothingly fun my fingers through his hair and he mumbled something in his sleep. He was honestly so adorable with his white hair (he started dying it soon after we became friends because he 'didn't want to be outshined by my hair') all ruffled up and a small smile resting on his plump lips.

My phone vibrated on the night stand and I groaned quietly and reached over to answer. "What do you want." I grouched, grumpy that I was being pulled away from one of the few times I could actually look at my partner. "Well morning to you to." Christian said.

"What do you want so early in the morning." I complained and started to slip away from Smitty so I wouldn't wake him. Tugging on my shirt stopped me and I looked down to see Smitty's hazelnut eyes looking up at me. 'Stay' he mouthed and I wrapped my arm back around him and he rested his head against my chest, listening to my heartbeat.

"It's almost four in the afternoon first off. Second, I've got something I need to show you and Smitty so get over here as soon as you can." Christian ordered. I hummed before I spoke. "You see there's a problem with that. We both kinda got suspended from work and if we showed up then Balker would have a cow." "Well figure something out. This is big and I don't know how long I can keep this covered." Christian ordered and then he hung up.

I sighed in exasperation, there goes my day of laying around with Smitty. "Christian wants us to come in. He said he found something big." I told Smitty who nodded. "I guess we need a reason to come in." "Do you think bringing dinner to a friend is a good enough reason?" I asked. He thought for a moment before nodding. "I could also say I needed to grab something from our office."

The conversation ended and both of us laid for a minute, not wanting to leave the comfortable warmth. "We should probably get up now." I said reluctantly. "Aw man, I was so comfy to." Smitty complained and I snickered. We untangled ourselves and Smitty went over and rustled through his dresser while I stretched.

"Is my suitcase still in the linen closet?" He nodded and pulled his shirt over his head. "Top shelf like always." I patted his shoulder and walked into the connected bathroom and dug through the linen closet until I found the suitcase full of my clothes just for days like today. I pulled out a plain black t-shirt, some skinny jeans with holes in the knees, socks, and my baby pink hoodie.

I threw on my clothes and pulled my hair back into a small pony tail. Then, after getting the ok from Smitty, walked back into the room. Smitty was wedging his feet into some vans and I walked over to the end of the bed and pushed my feet into the pair of black boots I wore last night.

"Who's car are we taking?" Smitty asked as he pulled two granola bars out of the pantry and I poured two glasses of orange juice. "Mine, I should head home after we get done. I've got some research I need to do." I said as I slid one of the cups to Smitty and caught the tossed granola bar. "Alright, alright. Lets go Jahn." He said purposely mispronouncing my name.

We jumped in my car with my driving and I enjoyed watching Smitty out of the corner of my eye. He rolled down the window and rested his chin on his arms as he watched the streets zip by. His hair getting ruffled by the wind and a smile lifting the corners of his mouth.

I stopped at a drive through restaurant to pick up something real quick for Christian and then we where heading off towards the office. We parked around back and waved at the receptionist, Chrissy, who rolled her eyes, and slipped through the building with out any issues.

"Yo, we got you food." Smitty said and placed the bag of food on the table next to Christian's laptop. He wrinkled his nose and pushed it away with a finger. "Did you really have to buy something?" "We has to make it believable" I said with a shrug and hopped up on the counter next to him and pulled the fries out of the bag and began to chow down.

"So what's so urgent you had to drag us out of bed?" Smitty asked and I felt my cheeks heat up slightly. He didn't say our beds just singular bed though Christian didn't seem to notice or care for that matter. "I was going over the scans when I accidentally deleted one which is no big deal really. You just go to the trash and pull the file out and boom you're good. But when I went to pull the file out I saw a separate file I didn't remember putting there. So I clicked on it and-" he pushed his computer to me.

I picked it up and began to examine the x-ray. "I don't see anything?" Smitty said and I was about to agree before I noticed something. I squinted and then gasped as my eyes widened. "Look right here." Christian was saying as he pointed to a Annabella's torso. "What am i supposed to see? All I see is some swirls and blurry images." Smitty asked leaning against me to see better.

"Look closely, you see this small little dot right here?" Smitty nodded still confused. "But what does it mean?" "She was pregnant..." I whispered.

So family junk lead to this and that and blah and now I can only use the WiFi at night when everyone's asleep. So chapters will be posted a bit later. I'm sorry ma dudes ;n;
