All Chapters of THE DETECTIVE’S PARTNER: Chapter 1 - Chapter 7

(DAWSON)It wasn’t winter yet, but I could feel the whole of my body shiver as I held on to Samantha, the temperature of her body was dropping drastically, her heartbeat fainter; there and then, I didn’t know what to wish for, or what to do. I wasn’t a true believer; I doubted if God would answer my prayers if I tried to pray to him now. My sister was dying in my arms; the men who shot her had fled. I couldn’t go after them, leaving my sister to die on the streets, neither would the ambulance I had called a few minutes ago get here quickly to save her, I knew she wouldn’t make it. However, it was the very first time I had just a tiny bit of hope for someone dying to live, I had seen so many deaths; but this was different.The pain was different, it was as if the bullet was inside of me too, twisting and dancing around the fence of my heart. Threatening to go straight to the center and stop me from breathing, for a moment, I wished that would happen; dying and going to the afterlife wi

(JANE JOHNSON)I had been sitting right outside the Deputy of police office, getting nervous at intervals; this was my first job in a very long time. I never dreamed of getting back to being a detective, the fact that I had no other choice made it more awful. As soon as the handsome man with dark curly hair and blue eyes entered the office, there had been a series of yelling and shouting. He didn’t even notice me when he walked by, there must have been something very important in his mind.The Deputy had told me, I’d be working with a man, I was starting to hope it was the one that walked in, even though he looked fierce and tough; he was still the handsomest among the other detectives, he was tall and had a great body; just the type of man I had always dreamed off.I shook off the thoughts immediately I heard my name coming from inside the office, my nervousness returned instantly. I was so vulnerable for having such thoughts for a man I didn’t even know, I bit my lower lip as I stag

(DAWSON)Her words kind of calmed me down, not like I didn’t want her to help, but she can’t just go off, working on my sister’s case without me knowing. Guess I was wrong after all, Jane was the type who loved her job so much, and that would be a very big pain in the ass. Nevertheless, I was glad she found something, although; I didn’t show my happiness in my expression. I still put up a surprise face, which was probably telling her why she should not be here without my permission.What kind of detective who got hired at night, starts the job immediately that same night; it was kind of weird or rather impressive.I shoved my hand through my hair, working with a partner sickens me; especially when it was a woman.“What’d you get?” I asked, staring at her, she still had that confused stare; something that read ‘I was just doing my job’.“I think you’d want to see this one yourself,” She responded almost immediately and the confused stare vanished from her face, it was as if I’d just gi

(JANE)I could see the glimmer in his eyes when I mentioned that the ballistics reports were out and that we had an address, everytime I appeared; he seemed flustered and troubled; but each time I present a little leap on the case it all vanishes. The Deputy had briefed me about Dawson not liking to work with partners, and I was seeing the reality first hand, either way; as much as I hate to throw myself at people, it was my job and I somehow wanted to get things done for him. Maybe because I would always see that handsome face and blue eyes, I still can't get enough of those and it sickens me everytime I think about it. On these two occasions where we met coincidentally in the same place, was sought of a sign of something. I wanted to impress him actually; by getting answers even before he thought about it, but he was always there before I did. Well, they didn’t call him a good detective for nothing, considering the fact that; the woman who was killed was his little sister. “What’s
