Chapter Text
- Eunice's view--
I sat at my office table. For the sake of the case of Alyssa and James, I had some paperwork left to do, and so I checked a lot, on the one hand, the idiot's alibi, who was also in the house with our two runaways on the day of the murder of Clive Koch. On the other hand, I still had to type all the personal details of the relatives of Alyssa and James and of all the other people who are somehow involved in the murder or something with the murder in our computer, make copies of the identity cards, and then print out the whole and pass on.
That could be something ... Well, after about thirty minutes I would take a break, and got me a coffee from the small kitchen of the office. I also did half of my work in those thirty minutes, and once again doing something I did. It has always been like that. Otherwise, I slept or could not concentrate anymore.
I was drinking my coffee, I was leaning against the wall, and let my sight slowly doing its way around the room, and my gaze did quickly return to my place and I had to think of the two kids again. I'm so sorry for them. No one has noted them, everyone has misunderstood them, and all they wanted was to live with people who do understand them. Teri is different in my opinion, but I always have to think like that. They are still children.
James mother commited suicide in front of his eyes, Alyssa didn’t see her father for a long time and her stepfather is an asshole. Both pf the kids were so desperate that they ran away from home without planning or taking anything with them, and only broke into the house of the murder victim because they did not know where to go. Teri says though, I have a big heart, or I would like to pull in all, but that's how I am. These are just two lost souls, and I think they should not treat teenagers who did something really stupid like a felon. Someone should talk to them ... no. I want to talk to them. I mean, the person who talks to them is likely to become aggressive.
I kepr looking around the room, but I just wanted to lay my glimpse on some other detectives. While some of them did focuse on their work, the others the way I did or talked. After that, my eyes fell on ... Teri. I sighed while thinking about what had happened between us.
* Flashback *
It was a Wednesday. We delete detectives damages a case that takes quite a long time to be solved. It was a great autumn as three people were murdered. We challenged the murderer of the three victims very quickly, but we were happy. He was apparently mentally ill, so wonderfully unpredictable that he invariably swarmed out only trained teams and looked for him.
Every case, but we want to erase the case, me and all the other detectives, all wished to organize a small party on the ground, with wine, schnapps and all that stuff. It was after official closing time, so it is not hot that it has fallen on duty.
At 23:00, even just after office hours, everyone wanted to toast, and since I can not be by chance, so did I. It was a goddamn thing, Teri's looking at me a lot, though I could conclude that they probably chatted me, but also when we're fast, and we do not have any common crime couple of times.
When I stood like that for twenty minutes, Teri eventually came up to me, smiled, and stood next to me. I talked back, but was not good at all, since I hated alcohol, and I, regardless of that, completely unknown to me, was at war when I was not even totally drunk. I realize that I just switch without even noticing.
The same thing happened to Teri after about two hours, so we would have a tenth of a millilitade, but the next day was a holiday, the war was over, but the liquor was not mined the next morning, we still are.
From there was the point where Teri and I were no longer, but it did not really matter, since there were only four colleagues before.
"Um ... are you coming with me?" Teri asked me when it was already after three o'clock in the morning war. We only had a glass of water in our hands to somehow drain the drunk alcohol. After Teri asked her question, she put her glass down in the office office kitchen and I did the same.
We went in the direction of the copy room. Alone from this place I was already surprised, which followed after that was not exactly better. Teri looked at me. She came slowly closer to me, and when she was very close to me, I could feel her breath. Slowly she closed her eyes, turned her head and kissed me. It felt good, but I was not sure if it was right. Her right hand disappeared under my sweater. Slowly I returned the kiss until I closed my eyes too ...
* Flashback end *
I watched Teri while I was drinking my coffee slowly and sighed as I thought about our kiss and what happened afterwards. Slowly I went back to my desk and looked at everything I had to do. As I said, that could be something.
