1232 Words
Everyone was given a day off. For those with serious injuries and wounds were give a week off. Although Brittney wasn't seriously injured, she was still given a week off as she is the only female in the force and had to be taken a special care of.
She couldn't rest at all with the thoughts about the masked man bothering her.
'Who is he? How does he know my name? ' She was restless in her room and decided to get out of the house for some fresh air. At the door she bumped into Daven.
" Dave? Where are you coming from?"
After she came home at 4am today, she forgot to check on him and went straight to bed. Daven didn't expect to find her awake. It was only 7am, ' shouldn't she be sleeping? '
" I...uhm. I went for some errands."
"It's too early for that. Shops are not opened yet."
" That's what I saw when I got there, I guess later maybe. hehe." He sounded strange like he was nervous or something which aroused Brittney's curiosity but she has no space in her mind to be trying to figure out why he was acting this way.
He faked a smile and began walking away. Suddenly a grip on his arm stopped him. He secretly winced in pain.
" Wait! Did you see my charger? "
"Yes, it's in my room." He couldn't wait to get away from her before he gets exposed.
" Oh okay. I was wondering where I placed it. Anyway bye, I'm going out for some fresh air." She said walking out with noticing the bandaid on the side of his neck.
Daven quickly went to his room and took a shower before changing to a new set of clothes. What a wild night he had. He made breakfast and went to Granny Tae's house. He didn't spend much time there and returned home to rest. He called sick today at work so he had the whole day resting.

Somewhere in the city a man was furious and yelling at his men. " How the hell did you let this happen! The police weren't suppose to be there, who the f*ck sold us out? Huh!"
The room was dead silent. No one dared to say anything.
" You are lucky that the police didn't catch the truck otherwise I would have killed you all one by one for messing this up!"
" Sorry master." They all said in union.
When Brittney returned she realized that she needs to charge her phone. She went to his room and knocked once before entering. He was in deep sleep after not resting properly yesterday so he didn't hear her knocking.
When she sees him asleep, she quietly takes out her charger from the plug which was next to his bed. She was planning on leaving the room when she caught sight of his handsome face. As she got closer to see his face clearly, she frowned upon seeing the bandaid on his neck. The memory of the tattoo she saw on that masked man's face flashed in her mind and a second later a terrified look appeared on her face.
" It can't be " She shaked her head. She reached her hand to his neck when it was gripped tightly by Daven's.
" What are you doing?" he asked in a cold voice but deep down he was nervous.
Brittney stepped back and freed herself from the grip. Her face full of shock with a hope it's not what she's thinking.
Daven gets up ready to lie again. He can't let Brittney find out.
" Brittney, listen..."
Shaking her head she said, "It can't be No! " She was already emotional and tears where on the edges. He comes close to her and held both of her hands
" l Let me explain."
" Why...why would you do it?" Brittney couldn't understand anything that was happening at that moment. When Daven wanted to explain she refused to hear him out.
"No I don't want to listen to you anymore! You lied about everything and now..."
Without finishing her sentence, she was stopped by something warm on her lips. All her nerves went numb reducing her ability to move. Her brain slowly numbed with nothing to think of or do.
Daven didn't know why but he didn't want to stop. He wanted to keep tasting her lips, which was something he never experienced before and it was an amazing feeling. Her soft warm lips made him thirsty and crave more. Being tingled by her breath aroused him to s****l desires.
Suddenly his phone rings and he quickly got back into his senses. ' Did I just? ' His face flushed red and took his phone before storming out of the room saying, " I'm off to work."
He drove straight to work without thinking things through. To be honest he just did want to stay there with Brittney.He was shy and embarrassed that he kissed her. He didn't want to think about anymore... maybe work will keep him busy.
Feeling confused and thinking about what just happened gave her a headache. She just don't want to think about anything right now as it was stressing her 'Does he love me or what? Is he the masked man? If he is then why did he lie? She needed something that will distract her and she thought about work. Sergeant James was surprised to see her. She wasn't even wearing her uniform.
"Brittney? Aren't you suppose to be resting? Why are you here?" he asked in a concerned tone.
" Don't worry sir I'm fine." She was really tired and had dark circles around her eyes. "I just wanted to check how's everyone?"
He sighed before responding, " Everyone is getting a rest I gave them some few days off.”
She looked around and didn't see Timothy or Lloyd. Their mission wasn't that dangerous, so where are they?" Where is Timothy and Lloyd."
"Oh I forgot to let you know, it was bad on the other team. Alot of our men were wounded including Timothy and Lloyd."
" What! " Brittney didn't not understand. "What do you mean? The crime wasn't taking place at the theatre, so how can the get injured when it was only a cover up? "
"Just go home and rest. There's nothing to worry about Brittney."
"I'm bored staying around all day." She complained.
Sergeant James thought for a second before saying," Then why don't you visit Timothy and Lloyd to see how they're doing?"
" Oh! right, bye then." She wanted to visit Lloyd first, but since she didn't know where he lives, she went to Timothy's house. But she first had to run some errands to make lunch for him. Luckily, stores weren't far from the station. It was only a 5 minutes walk.
While she was walking, the kissing scene appeared on her mind. Followed by the masked man's tattoo. She shook off her thoughts. ' Alright Brittney, let's have fun and try not to think about any of this 'She tried to think positive, but nothing worked out.
She entered the store and began looking for what she wanted. She picked up a few things before going to pay for them.
" Pss! Look over there."
