The Sweetest Way to Go

CHAPTER 3

~New Day~

"We need to catch this bastard," Drew massaged her temple amd swallowed an Advil.

"The health files are all proper and I did a background check on all the staff, Octavia Jones was Cameron's only daughter, and no one has an obvious motive," Rebecca sighed, pinning a picture of Cameron to the board.

"Do you think it could've been suicide," Aden pursed his lips and pointed at Drew with another donut.

"Maybe, could you run down and see what forensics have to say," Drew smiled.

"No problemo." Aden stood and stretched, he was halfway out the door when he collapsed onto the ground and started twitching.

Drew threw herself out of her chair and scrambled over to Aden, "Aden!"

She held him in her arms and looked around, Amy had run downstairs calling for help.

Aden's twitching grew more violent and Drew could feel the panic clawing through her.

She grabbed the glass of water off her desk and drizzled some onto Aden's face.

Slowly Aden stopped twitching,  Drew felt his pulse and drew away instantly, slapping her hands over her mouth and crying softly.

.

"Pew pew, come on Aden you can't stop now if you want to be a real officer," Drew had laughed and continued running.

Aden had stumbled after her, panting heavily, "i'm going to be a real officer anyways."

"I'll be better and you'd work for me!"

"Fair enough." Drew and Aden had laughed and shot at each other with their fake guns.

.

Drew sat there hugging Aden's lifeless body, Amy rushed up with the paramedics on her heels, but stopped short, they were too late.
