= When the door bell rang I looked at him, gesturing for him to answer it as I positioned to look like I was redressing when the door opened. Pizza boy would remember if he needed to. I walked up behind Law and moved my hands around him. He was too shaken to speak.=

= I moved around his living room, making it look as though we had been hanging out with movies and blankets on the couch.=

= Once inside I check the blinds. “𝘎𝘳𝘢𝘣 𝘢 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘤𝘭𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘴. 𝘐’𝘭𝘭 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶’𝘳𝘦 𝘸𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘺 𝘪𝘵. 𝘐’𝘭𝘭 𝘢𝘭𝘴𝘰 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘰𝘸 𝘢 𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘳𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘴.” I was careful to step out of my plastic covered boots before I stepped further into the house.=

= I pull the driver side door of his car open. “𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘰𝘯. 𝘞𝘦 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦. 𝘕𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘨𝘶𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘢𝘺 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘢𝘯𝘺. 𝘚𝘰 𝘸𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘴𝘢𝘺 𝘺𝘰𝘶’𝘷𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘯𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘮𝘦 𝘪𝘧 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘢𝘴𝘬𝘴.”=

= I hop in my own car and drive to his address. I park my car just behind his and set the parking brake. I check his phone for the pizza tracker and get out of the car.=

{I stayed long enough to watch him hit the road. I pull out the phone and wallet I had managed to pull off of him. I used his phone and card to order a pizza delivery to his address, setting up an alibi just in case. Once it was ordered and evidence collected and trashed I toss it into my trunk.=

= The vulnerability he displayed was something I’d never from him before. I brush my thumb over his cheek.}

{I raise a hand to cup his cheek. It hurt to see him so scared.=

= Once the room was cleared I met with him outside. I snapped the gloves free of my hands and tossed them in the trash bag.}=

= The room was setup to look like the man was doing something depraved and she woke in the middle of it and attempted to fight. I reach for trash bags and collected anything around the room that would lead back to Law.=

= I reach to grab the scalpel, wiping it clean before I quickly wrapped it in the girl’s hand for prints and mimicking the motion of where it would of dropped when feel and repositioning her to look like she fought him in the last breath, slitting his throat.=

={I pulled back to grab a fresh pair of gloves and plastic to wrap my shoes in to keep from tracking any prints. I slid the black nitrile gloves on my palms and popped the end of the glove against my wrists.=

= {I deep breath, pulling close to help guide him with breathing. I leaned up on my tip toes to press my forehead to his.}

= I needed to focus. I got out of the car and followed the scribbled directions he gave until I came across a room with blood everywhere.}

What the….. fuck happened in here? I leave you alone too long and you start killing people… without me?!

= until I was close enough to need to be hidden. I pulled in and parked near his hearse. I took a breath to calm my body’s excitement at the thought of him. This was work.=

= Silent. Spoke low tone in his deep voice. I grabbed my keys from the desk and checked my guns at my sides. I ran out the back door of Buried Treasure and hopped in my car to get to the warehouse district. I used my red light flasher to race through stop lights and traffic=

= I cleared my throat, letting it ring out before I picked it up to dial him back.}

You called… oh..woah slow down. Stop talking. Where are you?

{I scribbled the address and hung up. I had never heard Law sound frantic and terrified in the entire time I had known him. He was dark and brooding.=

{My phone buzzed against my desk, causing me to look up from the file I was reading over. A shirtless picture of Law highlighted my screen. I paused. Did I want to answer? Was this it? Was this him calling me angry from not hearing from me?=

= away with drinking. I drink the rest of the glass and place it on the bar top. “Need another?” I shook my head.}

No… I should probably keep some of my senses in order tonight.

{I blow out a breath before I order a whiskey for myself and take a sip. I hold the glass in my hand, swirling it around as I get lost in the thought of the last time I let myself get carried=
