Smart Can Be Sexy

Chapter 14

It's been 2 weeks since that last morning. Tom stayed with his family and we literally spend zero time together because I'm working really hard on the case.
"Ugh Soph why the hell cant I figure this out! This person literally left no trace. No mark. No DNA!" I pace around the room pinching the bridge of my nose in frustration.
"Tori we just have to stay calm, we'll get them!" Sophia says positively.
"This is my boyfriends mother we're talking about I can't let her down!" I slump back in my chair.
"You guys are still dating? I thought you broke up!" Sophia puts her coffee down.
"What? Why would we break up?" I ask offended.
"Because I've not seen him after that day apart from the two times he came to the station for interviews?" She argues. I roll my eyes.
"I've been working too hard." I say.
"You still need to make time Tori." Sophia says.
"Don't give me fucking relationship advice! Okay! You tried with Jack but guess what he turned out dead!" I shout.
"Wait..." I go to the link board we set up.
"Have we interviewed Harrison Osterfield?" I ask.
"No who's that?" Sophia asks.
"Toms best friend." I say.
"Who was also Jacks best friend." I say.
"Jack as in the guy who kidnapped you, abused you and who you shot? That Jack?" Sophia stands up.
"Yup!" I say. I grab my black leather jacket and head out the door.
"Where are you going?" Sophia follows while putting her jacket on.
"I'm going to Harrison's house and you're coming with me." We leave the police station and we get into one of the cars. Sirens on and speeding through the roads because I have a strong feeling.
We get to Harrison's house.
"Okay, you ready?" I ask.
"As I'll ever be." Sophia says. We load the guns in the car and put them in our back pockets. I go up to the door.
"1...2...3" I barge through the front door.
"Police! You are under arrest!" I shout.
I keep the gun up while I search the house. I go into the bedroom. The window is open.
"You have to be fucking-" I feel hands go around my neck.
"Don't fucking move." I hear a low voice at my ear.
"Fine...can I at least itch my side it itches?" I ask. Totally not got a fucking itch.
"Fine." He raises an arm. Dumb. Dumb. And more dumb. I grab the free hand and trip him up. He lies face down on the floor.
"Sophia!" I shout. He wriggles free.
He stands up sharply loading a gun.
"Wow you've got skills!" I nod my head in improvement. He points the gun at me. I point my gun at him.
"Don't shoot or I'll have to shoot you." I look him dead in the eye.
"And to be honest I don't want to kill you like I did your best friend." I say. Knowing fine well he'll go off.
He shoots and just missed my shoulder. Haha knee that would get him! I shoot at him but he rolls on the ground getting closer to the door. I stay low to the ground hiding behind the low bed. I hear another shot. It's Sophia.
"Tori!" She shouts. I run after him. He goes onto the street. I catch up to him from behind and kick his back, causing him to fall over. He gets up and I hit my gun hard off his head, he stumbles back so I trip him up again. He lands hitting his head.
"Fuck you Tori!" He shouts. I sit on his chest resting the gun at his forehead.
"Wanna get in the car and come with us or do I have to shoot you?" I ask tilting my head like a dog.
"I don't think you would do that." He taunts.
"Believe me," I pull the trigger.
"I've done it before." I point it again at his head. He stares at me then flips me on my back.
"No chance." He smirks. He starts to choke my and I grab his hand. I manage to push him away from me but we both get up. I punch him and he tried to do the same but I duck and kick him in the crotch. He groans. I hit him over the head with the gun again and kick him to the ground. Still holding his privates in pain he lets the gun go. Sophia picks it up and puts it in the car. I put him on his stomach and turn his hands around so I can put handcuffs on them. He tried to pull away but I pull his hands upwards towards his neck.
"Don't try hun." I say as I put them on.
"Get up." I say. He slowly gets up. The blood trickles from his forehead.
"Fuck you." He says as I put him on the car.
"You okay?" Sophia asks me.
"I've had worse." I smile. I put my gun in the boot then turn to go to the drivers seat.
"Tori?" Tom is standing there with two cups of coffee in his hand looking startled.
"We've got him." I say.
"Who Haz?" He asks.
"Come to the station and I'll tell you about it."
"Tori we haven't talked in a fortnight." He says.
"I know but I'm done, I've found him!" I say happily.
"No tori. You can't just leave me hanging." Tom shakes his head and gets in his car and drives away. Good job Tori. Good fucking job.
