"And that's basically it!" Abel set down the documents alongside the previous pile he sorted through, giving the details he noted along with the important details to note.
"I'll get right to it Liutenant "
"Abel..just Abel" Alia stared impassively and got to work.
He halted at the door "Alia,.. you'll find Rick a bit.."
"Obtuse?"
He laughed "I'd say he likes to lay it on a bit thick. I hope you'll get a long and stay around"
"Good day Lui-.. Abel."
Alia happily squealed as she made the chair go round again and again. She glanced at the coloured notes and tags she made for the past two hours before her brains burnt out
getting in a new case..she had to get the facts as soon as much as possible before revisiting each of them in detail.
she leaned back, struck with the severity of what she signed up for "s**t!"
"You don't say." the noise made her jump from her chair "aah! ..oh I didn't see you there haha"
Rick smiled at her reaction, enjoying how flustered she was, too easy?
"Since you're my partner it's only fair if I at least got to know you hmm?"
"All you need to know is my name, which you do, and we'll go for tomorrow to-"
"Talk to the witnesses...yes..I know"
Alia frowned "How?
"I told you..I'm good at my job...and other activities I indulge in." he leaned over her desk as she sat in the chair, deliberately brushing his legs over hers with an amused expression
Alia watched nonchalantly and stilled "Oh I can take you up on that any day" she smirked and boldly gripped his inner thigh.
she almost flipped when he let out an animalistic growl as his eyes... turned..darker? "explain what you mean" he bit out almost weakly.
"I mean I'm very good at what I do"
Alia watched him swallow hard "the job."
"What?!"
Alia smiled and let go "I mean to say I love this job, that's why I'm good at it. It's not what you think. I'm really serious"
"You-..never mind" He stormed out in a huff
Alia bent over and breathed in the much needed air
"Boy isn't this going to be fun" she rubbed her palms and laughing at a personal joke.
