Archangel

Chapter Nine

I woke up to my phone ringing. I didn't check to see who it was.

"Hello?" I said in a grumpy voice while rubbing the sleep out of my eyes.

"Hello Ms.Sinclaire? This is Director Stark of the police department." I shot up, wide awake.

"Mr.Stark, hello. How are you?" I said in a cheery voice.

"I'm good, thank you. I'm calling regarding the job that you applied for, to being a police offer." He stated.

"Yes?" I said holding my breath.

"Congratulations, you got the job. I've reviewed your application and did a back round check. Everything seems to be in order. You meet all the needed requirements. Since you were already a cop, you don't have to take the required tests." He said. My heart jumped out of my chest with joy. But I tried keeping a professional tone, not wanting to sound like an excited school girl.

"Thank you very much Mr.Stark. You won't regret it."

"I know I won't. But I have to ask you to come to the precinct so you could get set."

"Of course. I'll be there in a few minutes." We said goodbye and I hanged up. I got out of the bedroom to go the bathroom. I found Michael sitting criss cross on the bed with his eyes closed and his hands together. He seemed to be meditating. Shirtless. I walked as quietly as I could towards the bathroom. After I finished my morning routine I went into the bedroom to get dressed. Michael was gone. After I finished dressing, trying to look as professional as possible, I started walking towards the back door. Before I could open it I heard Michael say

"Congratulations on getting the job."

"Thank you. But how did you know?" I asked.

"Angels have very keen hearing." He claimed.

"Oh." I said wondering if he heard me cry at night. He nodded as if answering my unspoken question. I started getting uncomfortable so I said

"I better go." He nodded again and turned to go into the bathroom. I left the apartment and a couple of minutes later I was at the precinct receiving my badge, gun, and uniform. Mr.Stark showed me around. I got introduced to many new people. Including my new partner. His name was Bruce Tanner. He was thirty four years old. He has been a police officer for eleven years. He had green eyes and blond hair. He was attractive so I wasn't complaining. Mr. Stark told me I start tomorrow. I thanked him again and walked out of the precinct. I decided to go to the apartment and put everything away safe until tomorrow. When I opened the door to the apartment I heard moans. Then I saw Michael in bed with another girl. Michael looked up and saw me. His expression was full of shock and regret. As soon as he saw me I shut the door and I ran. I dropped the uniform in the hallway and I just ran towards the elevator. When I got outside I took several deep breathes and I started towards Adalia's apartment.

Michaels POV

I watched her walk away from the balcony. As soon she saw me and ran out of the apartment I send the other girl home. I still couldn't get her expression out of my mind. She looked so hurt, so betrayed. Why? I wish I knew what she was thinking. I wish she would confide in me, tell me what she was feeling. She always looked so depressed. So alone and I want to comfort her. But I can't. Just like I couldn't comfort her when I heard her crying at night. If I was to go into the bedroom and try to console her I fear that I wouldn't have left.
