The Beginning of the End
Half-Monster/Jasmyne Ford
“All clear," I say into my walkie-talkie. Darkness settles into the open windows surrounding me. A cobweb brushes the top of my thick black hair, but I don’t stop. I don't have time to be squeamish. The girl I’m chasing is well aware that I’m on her trail, so I stay low. Something slick catches the bottom of my boots. I lift each foot up and down in a rhythmic fashion. The object is to try and stay as quiet as possible, she might have a gun. I don’t smell metal, but in a rundown house like this, you can never be too careful.My palm sweats over my own gun, but I keep my grip tight. She's moving towards the center of the house. I pause. When someone is running, they don't run towards the light. A million things run through my mind. A corner catches my eye and I slide into it for cover.“Is she in sight?" Camille’s voice calls from the walkie-talkie."Yes," I say in a whisper. I can see her, but I also know that she is aware of me. A phantom of a woman stands in the middle of a room lit

Caleb is strong enough to watch my back but he’s also a loose cannon. He’s made a lot of mistakes on the force, but he doesn’t hesitate to pull the trigger. I thumb the cigarette in my pocket again before leaving Mirasol’s office. I drop my stuff off in my office and then quickly make my way to my car. I don’t even look up when I pass the kids. I learned a long time ago that you make yourself a target when someone sees your weaknesses. I had asked if Camille needed a ride home, but Mike was on his way to pick her up, lucky Mike.Mike’s devotion must have been what hooked her. It couldn’t have been his looks. He’s about a foot shorter than her and he has a large English nose. His lips are large like a fish's lips and he has a receding hairline. The worst part is that his baldness just accentuates that he has a egg-shaped head. He doesn’t even make more money than she does. Not that I would place Camille in the gold digger’s category. Camille is one of the sweetest girls I’ve ever met.

I awake to the buzzing sound of the alarm on my phone. I have about an hour to get back across town to the headquarters. The smell of sausage floats through the air and I smile. Sheila remembered my schedule. Weighted down by only two hours of sleep I drag my body from the blue sheets. Adrenaline is the only thing that motivates me to get dressed and head toward the kitchen. I know that when I get to work, I can take a shower and change into my spare set of clothes."See you soon?" Sheila says handing me an egg and bacon sandwich to go.“I’ll be around," I say sliding a hand over her tight bottom. With a squeeze and a squeal, I head for the door.I hate leaving her like this. I hate not knowing if she still has feelings for me. Pulling onto the street I can see her out of my rear view mirror. I convince myself that she isn’t thinking about me and continue driving. Last night happened because it was late and because we both have needs. Last night did not happen because of false promise
