First Love, The Sinner & The Saint

The Detective.

Jaxon

It had been two week's since me and Sofia last spoke, I felt a little weight lifted off my shoulders if I'm honest, as much as I missed her, this was good. I hadn't even been late to work once.

We had two new women in this week, don't worry.. it wasn't my work, I hadn't killed at all since Dr Lance.
I know that's no excuse, it doesn't make me a good guy or anything, but I was a changed man. Sofia not being around had changed me, I didn't feel so angry all the time. I was more chill.

Me and Bekah were working hard on the case today.
Bekah's voice startled me "victim one, she has marks to the arms and chest, this one was sexually abused, aged 32"
'No small talk ay Bekah?' I thought. Straight to work it is then "victim number two, marks around the throat no sexual abuse but bite marks all over her body, aged 34" I said.

Bekah checked her notes. "Murder is definitely the answer to number one.."
I wasn't convinced with mine. "I'm thinking number two is suicide, look at these marks, maybe pinching herself too?"

As we were checking out the marks I heard the doors opening up, I was so glad to see Ezra.
But when I turned around it wasn't Ezra, there was a tall, skinny figure in a black suit claiming to be Ezra's replacement. 'What the fuck, was Ezra replaced because we got personal on Penny's case?' I thought to myself feeling guilty.

"Hi my name is Ryder, I'm the new detective on the homicide case regarding the strip club murders and just recently random murders of women.."

'Is she for fucking real, who does she think she is coming in here like she owns the place..' I thought to myself. And the strip club murders had been put to bed, or so I though.

"I'm Jaxon" I said politely shaking her hand, "and that's Bekah she doesn't like people, at least not while they're alive" I replied laughing..

Ryder wasn't impressed one bit. "what do we have here? two women similar age that can't be a coincidence"
So much for her being good at her job. "Actually both different styles of deaths." I replied cockily.

Bekah added her views, Pointing to body number one, she began "shes been sexually assaulted, and had trauma to the head, possibly died and then was raped."

Ryder frowned. "these poor women, have you ever thought these could all be related to the death off several women over the past year??"

I wasn't happy she was getting all up in my business, 'she doesn'tsuspect me does she?' I thought to myself..

"That would be impossible.. no evidence on the other women of sexual assault so can't be the same killer.." I said swiftly.

She looked annoyed. "Maybe the murderer changed his tactics? or maybe he got startled?"
I had already had a enough of her bullshit for one day.
'You ain't got the same guy because darling I'm right in front of you, and that isn't my work I'm clean, I don't leave a trace..' I thought to myself. I really wanted to blurt this out to see what her face would of been like but I didn't. I went over signed off the papers and handed them to her.

Ryder headed out, before she left she turned around, "if you need anything here is my card" she said and  left it on the table next to her and then left the room.

"She's already getting on my nerves" Bekah said when Ryder had left.
"not just me then.." I laughed out loud.
Bekah really wanted to talk today. "what you doing later...?" She asked.
"I'm meeting Ezra for our monthly catch up you?" I said trying to get on with my work.

Bekah looked disappointed. "oh I was just wondering.."
I felt bad for her "I'm free afterwards if you wanna give me your digits" I asked winking.
Bekah smiles. "yeah sounds cool, +1074-665-021" I put it into my phone and got back to work.

'Oh yeah' I thought to myself, I always knew she had a thing for me, I mean who wouldn't have you seen me..
'Do I like her like that though?' I asked myself. 'does it matter if I like her like that, I only wanna fuck her it's not like I'm going to marry the girl" I told myself.

It was a good day, me and Bekah he been flirting all day, not like she had a choice mind you.
I kept going over and randomly tickling  her, I kept saying cute romantic thing like "you wanna fuck me don't you." she replied with "Don't you think your head is already big enough, now you're giving yourself a bigger ego... "
What she really meant Was 'I can't wait to scream your name..' I knew it.
It was just flirty banter no harm done, well I didn't want to put her in my doll house or anything, so that was always a good thing..

After a long day I said to Bekah "I'm off now baby cakes, see you later on our date.."
"It's not a date Jaxon.." she called out. I knew it was. I just left laughing..

I went  home and had a quick shower and got changed, I would be heading to the restaurant to meet up with Ezra soon.
I locked up the house and waited outside for a taxi to arrive..

On the way to the restaurant We went past Sofia's house I wondered what she was up to. But I had to get that thought out of my head.
I handed the cash over to the taxi driver and walked into the restaurant.
"hey Ezra," I said shaking his hand when I saw him.
Ezra pulled me into a hug "you alright bro"
I smirked "yeah I feel good to be fair bro, got a date later with Bekah"
Ezra laughed "Bekah??"
I felt smug. "mate I told you she wanted me.."
Ezra looked confused. "what happened to you and your girlfriend?"
I sighed "it wasn't meant to be.." I said sadly. I missed Sofia.
Ezra nodded understandingly "what drink you having tonight? " he tried to change the subject.
"A double whisky and ice" I said.
Ezra waved the barmaid over "double whisky and ice please babe, and a lager for my brother when you can.." flirted with everyone he did.
"Ezra do you have to flirt with everyone?" I grunted, he had no respect for women.
"we are males Jaxon. it's what we do.. and she's fit!" He laughed.
Fair enough. But it's not what I did, I kept them under my house.

Detective Ryder soon interrupted our conversation. She was in the restaurant and had decided it was only to crash my social life as well as my work life.

Ryder sat at our table "can I take a seat.. it's Jaxon isn't it" she asked.
She was already sat. Dumb bitch.
"yeah, this is detective Ryder, she's new to the morgue" I said to Ezra.
Ryder looked to Ezra "and you must be Ezra.."
Ezra frowned. "so you're my replacement I see." He wasn't impressed.
Ryder smirked "if you had done your job right, You wouldn't have been replaced" she said sarcastically.
Ezra's face dropped. I just burst out laughing, I might not have liked her but that was a solid burn.

Ryder spoke again. "where was you at 8.32 pm last night Jaxon?"
I just shrugged, what the fuck did she think she was doing trying to interrogate "maybe at home, maybe at the Chinese, maybe at the bar I don't tend to track my every second love." I said coldly.
Ryder nodded "have you got anyone that can confirm your where abouts?"
Ezra spoke up "yeah me, kind of awkward. we were in a strip club Jaxon's ex girlfriend works there, he needed to get it wet one more time.. " he looked at Ryder.
my face just dropped how the fuck did he know that!!
"she's been like this all day mate I think she wants to Fuck me." I said trying to lighten the mood.
"Oh you really wanna Ryder don't you pal, get it? Ryder.. ride her?"we both started laughing uncontrollably.
Ryder was pissed. "piss off" she said as She got up to leave, she continued with "this is why I married a women you men are so immature."

By this point me and Ezra could hardly breath, I didn't think it was that she didn't want a man, I thought it was more that a man didn't want her.
I stopped laughing and said "bro why did you say my ex worked in a strip club." Wondering how he knew about Sofia.
"because I thought it was funny." He said. I thought to myself 'thank god he doesn't know.'

I checked the time and you guessed it, I was late to meet Bekah.
why could  I never meet a fucking women on time!
