Sweet tooth

Chapter 8: NoworLaters Pt.2

|| Shawn's P.o.V ||

I had a really long night of thinking...I got to work and I had so much on my mind

"Officer Morris, you finish those reports for me?" My Sergeant says putting his hand on my shoulder..

"Yea, I gave them to Rob to give to you Sir.." I say

"You Look like shit Morris..Go take a 15 minute break before you finish the case" he said giving me a sorry look

I get up and head out to pick up Sweetie

I drop her off at school and agree to pick her up in a few hours...

I head back to the office and prepare my weapons for yet another babysitting session

My unit and I have been working on a case involving 4 notorious King Pins

They're all working together to bring in the largest shipment of drugs this city has ever seen..

I so happen to be assigned to a dealer name Tyron Wallace

I know way more about him than I should thanks to Sweetie

I can't lie...the info she's given me has made my job a whole lot easier

I sit outside his trap house for about 30 minutes before seeing any activity and taking pictures

Snapped as many I could before they disappeared into the house

"Shawn...look over there.." my partner points out a white van that pulls up across the street

"That looks like the van every serial killer drives.." I say laughing

We take pictures of the Van and the man driving it...

"That looks like Boogy" I say to myself

"Who?" My partner says while zooming in on his face

"That is Boogy!" I say causing my partner to look at me crazy

"He's my girl...*cough* friends next door neighbor" I say trying to play it off

What the fuck is he doing working for these guys?

hes the creepy drug addict who begs for nickles..

Maybe he isn't so harmless after all

"Damn..you mean the girl who gave us info on this guy?" he says smiling

"Yea her...and I have a feeling they sent him near her to keep tabs" my eyebrow raises and I think of all the times he saw us together..

I think of how if he saw me..it could blow my cover

"Look I need someone to take my place...I can't risk him seeing me" my partner nods in agreement

Before I know it...its time to go pick up Sweetie and I head over to her school...

I see her waiting outside looking anxious to see me.

"Sweetie..don't wait outside in the open..I'll call you when I'm here" I say as she gets in the car

"Uh I guess...look, I have to go pass my house" she says...

I cut her off "Sweetie its not safe to go to your house yet...what you need I'll get for you.."

She looks at me annoyed.."And if it isn't safe for me its not safe for you" she says sucking her teeth

"I can handle myself" I say pulling off

On the way to my house I decide its time to tell her what I saw while at "work" at the mall...

"I saw Rose and Tyron together the day we met at the mall" I say nervously

"I also saw Paige and another dude not too far behind"

she looks at me confused

"How do you know what Tyron looks like..?" she says curious

"I assume it was him because he looked like a drug dealer" I say trying to save face

She sits back in her seat and sighs..."Why are you telling me this now?" she says with a mean face..

"Because I think that he's been telling Rose what to do..I mean why would he be there? You guys JUST broke up.."

She considers what I'm saying and pulls something out of her bra...

I'm shocked at what she tells me..the "Unknown" numbers..the messages and finally the pictures of Rose

I take the Phone...unwrap it and go through it..

"Wait...is this Tyrons phone?" I say

"Yea and I plan on stopping his plans to kill Rose" she says with a shaky voice

The words coming out her mouth makes me angry...

I pull over and explain to Sweetie how she has to leave this up to the professionals...but she refuses and snatches the phone...

I convince her to at least contact a detective by the name of Carlos Walker (my partner) for help.

She does so and we all come up with a plan...

|| Later that day ||

As soon as we get to my house Sweetie knocks out on my couch

My mom comes over a little later to bring some soup and special tea...

For my mom to be a nurse she believes In the natural ways of healing

I try to wake Sweetie up with no success..

"Oh let ha sleep more Shawndra" my moms says pulling me to the kitchen

Sweeties mom is asleep aswell in my guest room

"Does she know yet?" My mom whispers...referring to my job

"No I don't want to stress her out even more" I reply

"Well ya kno...you shouldn't have lied" she says making me feel guilty

I let them sleep for another 2 hours before waking them up to eat some dinner

They scarf down my moms food and go back to sleep...

I lock myself in my room while they rest and go over the pictures we took
