chapter 3.

All of August remember was the police arriving and helping her get up. And now she is outside of her apartment, Smith had her legs later out in front of her while waiting for the detectives to come. Then there was hurried footsteps coming to her way, she slowly turn her head and saw her fellow colleagues.

Everything happened in a blur and so quick. She was now in her bed traumatized, wondering how can sleep when there was a murder in her apartment? Exactly she can't. Before she knew it the sun was rising.
The office was chatty before she had enter. Her hair was in a low messy bun and her clothes were all black except her heels that were a pretty nude color.
It was silence till she got to her desk and said " you could talk now". And instantly it went back to noisy. August Smith was the only female detective and the youngest next to Lucas Park. Her cocky, attractive partner, and next to them was Detective Lo, 26 years old a single father to a beautiful daughter and wayyy too attractive, him and August have a close bond. Everyone else is either in their late 30s or early 40s. August sat her in rolly chair staring at her blank computer screen. Park rolled his chair to her right side and said " ready to solve crimes ?" Smith groaned, " no"

He sighed " hey, I am sorry about this, you didn't deserve this"

" I don't know, I have never lost somebody closed to me-" she paused and quickly changed the topic. " do you know what we have to do today ?" He shrugged " I don't know" just the way he looked clueless at the same time he shrugged made August giggle. His clueless face turned to concern " why are you laughing?-". August tried to stop her giggled " I am sorry-" she giggled again " it just that the way you looked clueless and shrugged at the same time." He smiled " see now you are in a good mood". She rolled her eyes " whatever, you never know what we have to do"
" I know" he said back. The only thing special about him was, he always cheered her up no matter if she was not in a good mood or was frustrated. He would always make her giggle at least once a day. August wasn't gonna go to work that day but then she thought about park.
