The Sweetest Way to Go

CHAPTER 4

~New Day~

"We are here to commemorate the loss of my co-worker and best friend, Officer Aden Justin Maxwell." Drew wiped her eyes and gkanced aeound at all their friends and families.

Jessie Montgomery sat in the front row and gave her mother an encouraging smile.

Everyone went around hugging, talking and crying, except Drew, she was angry.

~New Day~

Work continued quieter, more seriously, Aden's absence affected them all and made everyone more determined to catch the killer.

"Um Drew, there's a call for you, it seems urgent," Officer Hudson said with a small, hopeful smile.

Drew transferred the call to her phone and answered it, "Officer Drew Montgomery speaking."

The voice that responded was soft and meek, "I know I should have said something earlier but I wasn't quite sure."

"Okay, could I get a name dear?"

"I'd prefer not."

"Okay, well what do you have to tell me?"

"I'm a regular at Sweet Tooth and I see this officer come in and talk to Tavia, very ftwn, almost everyday actually."

"Couod you describe the officer for me please?"

"She had short, black hair, green eyes, a uh dimpled chin.... that's all I remember, I'm sorry."

"Oh no you've been much help, thank you."

"Glad that I could help."

Drew stared her right in her emerald green eyes. Officer Amy May gave her a sad smile which she returned.

"Becca could you come here for a sec?" Rebecca left her computer and perched on Drew's table, "what's up Drew?"

"Could you go through all the personal files on Amy May please, all of them."

"Drew... you know that's not allowed, we need permission from the chief."

"Leave that to me."

Convincing the chief was easy, as soon as she mentioned her gut feeling, Chief agreed.
