On Saturday morning, Kelly knocked on Andy's door.
"I got you breakfast," She said, handing him a large croissant filled with strawberry jam, as he opened the door.
"Aww, Kelly, you shouldn't have!" Andy grinned and took his favourite pastry from his old friend. Kelly turned scarlet at the compliment and looked away, smiling and breathing deeply.
"Ah, sugar. I have to go!" Andy cried looking at his watch. "Can't be late for Ms Hunter!" He grabbed his rucksack and ran down the dirty apartment stairs.
Half an hour later, Andy was unlocking the door to his brand-new job. Bailie was sitting at her desk writing a note. She looked up and saw Andy standing in front of her desk waiting patiently for a task.
"What do you want me to do Ms Hunter?" He asked politely.
Bailie pointed to a small pile of boxes.
"You can start by sorting those boxes out. They are the records of all my previous cases," She smiled expectantly. "And yes. You can look at them if you want,"
Andy was amazed at the powers this woman had. As he moved towards the boxes, Bailie stood up. "I have work to do in the city. I'll be back in a few hours," she swung her jacket over her shoulders and walked out of the door. Suddenly, a large black dog came bounding towards Andy. "Hello, big fella," Andy scratched the big dog's back and started to work on opening the first box.
A/N: sorry this is a short chapter. the next one will be longer!
