Kevin Atwater and Alejandra Edwards sat in his Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat that was dark blue almost black. It was a nice car Alejandra had previously mentioned to him before.
Her eyes scanned the mall parking lot , waiting for their suspect to walk out.
"Got eyes on them. They still haven't left this store for the last five minutes." Burgess said through the radio.
Alejandra leaned back and put her feet on the dash.
"Uh uh , not in my car. Feet stay on the ground."
She boredly looked at Kevin who had an impatient look on his face, waiting for her feet to be put back in the ground.
"But you let Adam do it ?"
"You my homegirl and all but you haven't earned the right to do that."
Alejandra pouted and put her feet back on the ground. Kevin looked at her and then looked away.
"You have something to say so say it."
"I already knew about you and Antonio but I didn't say a word."
"What ?"
Kevin Atwater sighed and leaned back.
"At the Public Service Ball last year. I saw you two holding hands and I saw the way you two looked at each other."
There was a moment of silence before he kept speaking.
"I noticed how you two glanced at each other in the office but I wasn't going to say anything , you two seemed happy and it wasn't my relationship to say anything about."
"Thank you." She barely whispered.
"How you holding up though ?"
"Barely holding onto anything right now. All I have is this job and it doesn't even feel I should even have it right now. The whole precinct avoids me like the plague along some other people we always see. Just feels like everything has literally went to shit."
Kevin nodded , understanding her.
The only guy she ever loved had broken up with her in front of the whole unit and exposed her for hiding that their boss was indeed her father that they all worked under.
"I thought about leaving the precinct but how do you leave the only home you ever known ?"
"Because we're built tough." Kevin told her. She looked at him with sad eyes. "We're the ones saving the world by taking down one murderer, rapist , killer at a time. If you can manage to do that , then you have what it takes to do what ever you want to do , no matter how hard it will be."
Kevin looked at her.
"Listen , all I can say is this , you might be at rock bottom right now but you can only go up from here."
She nodded and looked forward.
"I'll try to keep that in mind."
Kim Burgess's voice went through the radio.
"She's on her way outside. Green dress , black shades."
"Here we go." Kevin Atwater said , sitting up with Alejandra. Seconds later , the woman wondered outside with her designer bags as her strawberry blonde hair swayed behind her with a man right beside her. "Who the hell is that ?"
"No idea."
She got into her car with the man before driving off. "We're tailing her."
They drove slowly behind her a car or two back. Alejandra kept an eye on her as well.
