"Thank you again for watching her today," Scout said. She handed her daughter, McKenna, over to her mother-in-law. "I'll call you when I'm out of work." She kissed her daughter on the top of her head, and walked down the front steps of her late fiancee's childhood home. She didn't want to go to work today. She hadn't spent a day with McKenna in two weeks. Scout was having withdrawals from her three year old. These were the times when she should be spending the most time with her.
Pulling into the station parking lot, she sighed and grabbed her bag. Unlocking her office door, she noticed more paperwork was stacked on her desk, just like every other morning. They were from Jonathon, who was probably ten times as stressed as anyone on the team. She sat down in her desk chair, and started rifling through the files. They were all about the current murder case. Three suspect files. She threw them off to the side, and put the rest in a drawer to go through later.
She hear a knock of her door, and through the glass, she saw it was Alexandra. Scout smiled and said, Come on in, Alexandra." She had always respected Alex. She may have been the best female officer in the whole station.
