When Worlds Collide

Chapter 7

~Roxanna~

I stay still sleeping on the cold floor of my storage unit, I need my rest for later and s**t like that, I do so many things I can barely keep up, I'm addicted to my own stuff but like I said before its the deal I have with the big boys. 

I know you're wondering, why did I sleep in an alley if I've got a lock up? Well there's 2 reasons, not that it's your business but anyway, main reason being I don't want the cops to find my hideout. 2nd reason is after singing in the club last night I got so damn high I couldn't tell which was left and right, I was so high last night that I fell over a trash can and cut my leg. It was a bit deep but I just found a bit of cloth and wrapped it around the cut, still bleeding but it'll be fine. Why don't I get it checked out you ask? Would you if you were wanted by the cops?

After I left the chief's office I went back to my groups of colleges, I was a bit pissed that I had got given another case, like I've just finished 1 that took 3 months now I've got another, but on the bright side deputy Bellend couldn't figure it out, so if I crack this I might get promoted or it'll atleast put him in his place, man he does my head in. I arrive back at the group, instantly they were all asking questions about the meeting, not that I blame them, we're always like that with each other.

To my surprise they seemed pretty chill, Alex is the 1st to start asking questions....which caught me off guard as he's the quiet 1 of our group "hey T, how'd it go?" I was stunned by Alex asking a full question, like I said usually he's a man of very few words, but still I answer " got given ANOTHER case" very tired as it had been a long ass shift. "Didn't know chief was in that bad of a mood" Aimee says, usually when the chief gets in a bad mood we always get a new case, even if it's just a patrol day he'll give us a target as such when he's in a bad mood. "Geez he was peeved off" the group joker remarks, like we know but Lewis will be Lewis, and he can make you laugh, I just simply said 2 yeah, he's pretty mad" stating the obvious like Lewis.

Dante being like myself, serious, asked me "so what case did you get?" "A case that's been going on for 5 years" I reply, hoping these will be willing to help me. "Not the 1 with the chick we've been after this morning?" Harry asked probably knowing just how hard it's going to be, "seriously, the Roxanna case?" Alex asked, now I'm bracing myself, with these reactions it's going to be a challenge, I just got to hope they will be willing to help and she screws up. "Oh man, he desperately wants her locked up" Aimee says in disbelief that another cop has been put on this case, "you have no idea Aims" Lewis says annoyed, I think this is the first time I've seen him as deflated as he is, even with hard cases and arrests he make smart remarks that have you bent over laughing. "5 years, 5 damn years he's had us all working on this" Alex said...I think this is the most I've ever heard Alex say in such a short space of time, I guess this case has everyone wanting to put their opinions in. "Desperate isn't even the word to describe it" Lewis says once again sounding so fed up, then surprisingly Alex pipes back up " you can say that again man", shaking out of being so stunned by how much Alex has spoken and everyones reactions I have a burning question, "if he was so desperate why am I only just getting asked? I mean why hold back telling me?" I asked wanting to know the answer. 

Of course the others never fully knew themselves but Harry told me what he knew "something about you knowingor whatever, I zoned out after a while of him talking" now I know I said Harry is serious but he also works hard and the chief can ramble on so sometimes you just cut him off once you get the details you need. Aimee speaking some sense and not saying just how hard this will be asks "Have you even looked at the case file yet?" curious I say "no why?" "I think I know why you're now getting involved" Lewis says with a knowing smirk on his face. "Didn't you use to know some chick called Roxanna?" Dante asked changing the subject.....or so I thought, thankful about it as the atmosphere was getting tense I answer "well yeah, but that was years ago, she hated me, but what does that have to do with anything?" Aimee gets a smug look on her face "Have a look at the case file and who it is, that might answer your question" she says quite smugly. "I would, but I've not been given it yet" I reply trying to seem as smug as Aimee but it's failing.

Just as I finish my sentence the group roll there eyes, I look to see why and wish I didn't, 'here comes the Bellend' I think to myself, please let it only be a walk by I really don't want to face him.
