Jake gave her an ultimatum. Well, he did not say so explicitly but after that call with Galloway, Charlie had to find a way to kill two birds with one stone. Ever the helpful, Jake reminded her that they were on a job to catch a murderer who may or may not be in an international gang, and to use a condom. Despite her many thanks, Jake did not seem pleased with her 'newest project' as he called it.

She rented a car and had driven down to Mr Black's place, nervous. When she picked him up, her anxiety grew. She could not tell if it was excitement, the need to please him or his uncharacteristically handsome that made her want to fold. When she pulled up across the street, Charlie picked up on the disbelief in his tone. Perhaps it was a terrible idea to take someone to dinner opposite the nightclub they had first encountered. But she had to compromise. One eye out for Joel Peters and the other eye on the beautiful Mr Black. Even she had to admit she fucked up. What was she thinking asking

    "That's your 'friend'?" Maddox looked up from his table after he paid for dinner. Charlie had been too flustered by his request, that she dashed out of there like a thief caught. Her saved contact sat expectant on his bright screen, bringing a smile to his lips. He was well on his way to leave for Sin City when he found Hailey spying on him. "What are you doing here?" He hissed under his breath, leading her by the arm out of the restaurant. "I told you to go home.""I was curious." Hailey hugged him, giving him a pout. "Are you satisfied? Now, go home." He peeled her off him, growing annoyed with her giggles."Can I have your number?" She mimicked. "I can't believe you plan on getting me a mom that way. If you must know, she's way out of your league.""I'm not getting married. I'm not getting you a Mom and what do you mean she's out of my league? If you don't go home, I'll cancel your cards.""And if you cancel my cards, I'll be stuck with you even more."Maddox closed his eyes, ho

    "Are you okay? If you frown deeper, you would give the puffish a run for its money."She rolled her eyes at Jake's comment as he drove down the street. Charlie could not get Maddox and Hailey out of her head. She expected a lot of things but him being a father was not one of them. He did not even look like one, no offense. Biting her nail, she thought harder. She would have seen the signs if he had been married. He didn't wear a ring and she doubted married men wore rings to nightclubs. Maddox Black could be separated or divorced for all she knew. Besides, his home was void of familial pictures. It lacked the feel and comfort of a home but he lived in it. It was weird. Did he expect to move out of his penthouse soon or was it a personal preference? And his daughter, oh, was such a pretty girl. She swept her hair in a ponytail, mirroring her father. Hailey barely reached his shoulder and the only similarity was the black hair and a fit figure. The teenager had bright brown eyes, a st

    Charlie knocked on the door of the trailer and waited. She heard shuffles of feet and a grunt. The curtain in front of the window slid to the side and Charlie waved, giving a small smile. "Who goes there?" A throaty voice bellowed. "We are detectives," Charlie fibbed. "Came to ask questions about Peters next door.""I don't know any Peters. Go away." "We won't take much of your time. Just a couple of questions and we will get out of your hair," she pressed on. "Fuck off!"Sighing, she thread a hand through her hair. This was exactly why she always came on nice to people. It's been a surprising day and Charlie was not having any bullshit this dude might want to throw her way. Besides, it looked like he had something to hide."FBI! Open up!" She rammed the door with incessant, rapid knocks. "What the fuck do you mean FBI?" The man yelled from inside. "Open up or we break down the door." Jake placed a hand on her shoulder, easing a bit of the frown from her face. "We just want to

    Charlie can tell what is going through Jake’s mind as they make their way from Lulu’s home. Those kids deserve a better home but maybe now isn’t the time to let childhood traumas cloud one’s judgement and cause a distraction to the case. They met Lulu with a bunch of guys drinking in her trailer and her kids were outside left to their own devices. When Jake had asked if they were in school, they had replied that they were home schooled but from the looks of things, there was little or no schooling going on at all. Her oldest who seemed to be around twelve couldn’t communicate properly and they all looked slightly malnourished. When Jake made a comment on how underfed they looked , a drunken Lulu waved it off with a comment on genetics and how that was how they were built. Even if it was the afternoon, Lulu and her company were already quite drunk and Charlie knew that getting any information from her would be futile and they decided it would be best to come back the next

    Charlie Brown looked up at the wall clock and saw that the time was thirty minutes past one.she sighed. Sometimes, life at this old place seemed to drag on for hours.

    When Charlie got home, the first thing she did was get into the bathroom and she took a shower.It was a long shower.Taking shower had always been therapeutic to her.Her bathroom had seen her on her worst days and also on some happy days.

He had a meeting scheduled for twelve thirty later today but for the first time ever, his prospective meeting wasn't the subject of his thoughts. That girl, he needed to see her again but wasn't quite sure why. Maybe he knew he though but wasn't quite ready to accept that as the truth, it sucked.“She is out of my life, I should be glad but why doesn't it feel right?” he said out loud. That girl was more of a thorn in his flesh that seemed like she belonged there and now that the thorn was gone, his comfort was becoming a little more uncomfortable. His phone buzzed and at first, he was a little embarrassed by how eager he was to go read the text, then he was disappointed when he saw who the text was from.Pink-topped Sara!Are we still down to hang today?
