I slept on the couch last night. Not because Jesse was upset. I just wanted to be alone. I woke up around 7am. I need to be at work by 10am. So I used my primetime to study the files.

I took a quick shower and put on a beige silk button down with a black plum skirt. A little skankish but I didn't care. I leave out and walk to the coffee shop down the road.

Sitting by the window I open the folder. My eyes closed for a split second as I see the photos. It was a pretty young girl. She's in her mid twenties. Black hair. Nice bust. She had dark spots on her neck. And the back of her head caved along with dried blood on the balcony and her hair. She obviously was slammed while being choked. "So what's your story"

I look at forensics and there were no significant traces for foreign fabric or fingerprints. Her background was clean. She had no job. Strange for a woman of her stature. She had no immediate family. Not married or anything. It's almost like she was a ghost.

"Ma'am?" I hear shutter in my ears. I quickly turn around to see a waiter with a notepad. "Oh uh" I cleared my throat. He had short twists on his hair. And light brown skin. He looked down at me squeezing a pen waiting for my order. "Right I'll have a cup of coffee, black one sugar. ." I order looking back down. "I wouldn't recommend you take some asprin..." He says writing the order down. "Huh?" I say looking uo at him. "You have a headache.....Plain black coffee causes headaches" He adds. "Oh um. I'm fine thanks." He then walked off.

I study the information on the files. There has to be something. I see the number of the hospital where the autopsy took place. I thought maybe I should take a look at the body my self. I call and tell them I'm a Detective and ask to see the body. They tell me I'm not authorized and no one was informed the casr of the body was assigned. I immediately thought of my. That prick didn't actually assigned me the case. I quickly get up ready to go off on him. I turn and run into the waiter fn earlier. He had my coffee and it was now spilled all over his shirt. "Shit, I'm sorry" I say still leaving out. I look back to see him staring at me. I wanted to properly apologize but was to distracted.

"I'm sorry G.....I didn't think you'd be serious about this case. I assumed you'd wig out and pass it" He says leaning on the corner of his desk. "Really? I'm trying to keeo ny job. And I need you to givd me the case for real. I know my othet ones might have blown but cut the shit and give me this chance. Please...." I plead. He rubbed the back of his neck. "Ok. But I won't clear for a couple of weeks. But I promise the case is yours. Until then. Do what you can G" He sighed. I walked out without saying thank you.

The victim's neighborhood was rather close to mine. I walked a few blocks to get there. I make my way to her apartment. It was blocked with police tape. "Damn" I say knowing I can't go in. Not with this sunlight. I decided to head home and wait.

I get home surprised at the fact it was on the middle of the day. Kia was at daycare and Jesse working at the gas company downtown. I had the house to myself. Like always I would walk around with only my shirt and panties. It made me feel free. And relaxed. I turned on the stereo as Bob Marley's 'No Woman; No Cry' played. I pour a glass of wine and layed back in my recliner. I picked uo my phone to see a message and missed phone call from Jesse.

:Hubby:

'Let's talk tonight hun. Its importnt.'

I rolled my eyes and tossed my phone on the couch. I got uo and went into the bathroom. Odly as it was I thought about that waiter I spilled coffee on. I felt bad. I thought about going back to the coffee shop and apologize, but he might ignore or shun me.  I couldn't get that stare out my mind though. I didn't know if it was a stare of hate or intrigue.

Afterwards I go upstairs to my room and get in bed under the covers and sleep.

I'm woken by my alarm which was set for ten o'clock. I get uo and stretch my arms and legs. I decide to put on jeans and not a skirt I put my hair into a messy bun the grab my phone heading out my room. On my way to the door. I notice Jesse sitting on the couch. He looked like he was waiting for me to wake up and come downstairs. I didn't want him questioning where I was going so I quietly went to out back door and left out there.

The street lights were faint. And it was rather cold. I tried to spot the apartment but couldn't find it. I could have sworn I remembered it. I walked for minutes and couldn't find it. I felt like my mind was messing with me. I stopped to take a breath when I turn around to see a guy with a black hoodie and sunglasses a couple of feet behind me. I couldn't really make out his face. I started to walk off again. I continued to walk. I look behind me to see the same guy following me. He kept his head down as he speed walked. I walked faster feeling my heart start to pound. I looked back again. He was running towards me. "Ahhh" I screamed as I took off running. It seemed like this happened so fast. My adrenaline kicked in as I ran faster then I even knew. I look back as he was still running after me I thought about how unreal this could be. My mini heels with hitting the pavement hard. I felt as though my legs were jelly as both my heels break off. I fall to my right. My head smacks the ground as I groan in pain. I can't seem to get up. My vision was dizzy. I see the man standing over me. "Hey gorgeous" He says. He bends down trying to grab me. "Get away from me" I cried trying to hit him. His hand goes back and slaps me in the face. I hold my face as he picks me up off the ground.

"Please let me go!" I say as he bites on my neck pinning my arms over my head. His body reeked of alcohol and smoke. His teeth sunk in my skin as he sucks on it. I start crying knowing this wouldn't end well. He stopped and backed up and started to unbutton his pants. I shut my eyes tightly. I then hear a loud smack and and a thump on the ground. I open my eyes. It was the waiter. "You ok?" He says looking at me. I look on the ground to see the guy out cold. I look bavk at the waiter. "I said are you ok?" He repeats. I nodded. "Why are you out here so late?" He said giving me a strange look. I shrugged. "You looking for trouble?" I shook my head no. He then gave a concerned/idiocy look. "Well I wouldn't recommend you make this a hobby." He put his hand in his pockets. He then started to walk away. "I'm sorry!" I quickly say. He turns around. "For spilling the coffee and not paying or tipping you." I sputtered reaching in my pocket pulling out my wallet and taking ten dollars out. I handed them to him. He walked up to me. "I kinda would like to get paid in a different way." He says looking in my eyes. I then got nervous. "L-Like what?" I ask. "Making sure you get home safe" He grinned. "Oh well thanks that's kind of you" I thanked. "But we can't walk to your house just yet.....You know you could be followed home and someone will know where you are. If you ask me you should wait till tomorrow.  When its bright." He suggests. He made perfect since. "Okay I guess you can take me to a hotel or something" I say. He nods. "But first" He walks closer. I see his dark eyes staring down at me. He waz shockingly tall. His twists were nicely wild looking. "We should get to know each other first" He bit his bottom lip. "Oh uh no.....I'm married." I say backing uo a little. "I'm not asking you on a date" He rolled his eyes "I just want to talk with you......I'm Larry by the way" He softly says. "Giaai" I say shyly. "Well Gai. Would you like to go some whete so we can talk? And I promise where we go will have a bunch of people." He smiled.

"By a bunch of people I didn't think you meant thousands!!" I shout over the blasting music. We were at a club sitting at a booth with wine. "Sorry. I just wanted to take someone here. And you seemed like a sweet person. And I won't try anything on you." He took a sip of wine and sat it down. "So what's the real reason you were out late?" He asked sitting close. "I wanted to clear my mind." I lied. He nodded. "Well I don't think clearing your mind on.a dangerous street at night is worth get raped and or killed" He exclaimed. I nodded in agreement. I tapped on my glass with my ring. "So how long?" He asked. "Huh? Oh my ring...." I say looking at it. I then instantly thought of Jesse. He was gonna be upset tomorrow. "You don't have to tell. Its your business" He says leaning back. I then look at him. "He started at me biting his bottom lip. I blushed a little looking down. He then reach out and pulled the holder out my head making my hair fall past my shoulders. "You look nice with your hair down." He grinned.

"One night stay in your finest suite" Larry said to the concierge. "Oh it's fine there's no need to-" "It's cool" He said pulling his credit card out. He payed for my room as they gave me the keycard. I look at Larry and smiled. "Thank you" I say. "It's nothing. I just-" I quickly hugged him then went to my room.
