Snippet #2544961

Chloe sat at her desk early that morning, writing out reports from the phone calls she received of possible leads to Alek. Her mood had not improved since the talk with Bowen, but her expression was a blank slate.

She had been taken off the case. Something that had not happened in the years she had been a detective. And within the first week of working here, she had let herself go. She had fallen for a man she barely knew. Hell, she wasn't even sure if he shared any common feelings anymore. And to make matters worse, her partner wasn't even here to talk to.

Alphonse usually understood her pretty well. And right now, she could use someone like that, but instead he was partnerless and trying to solve this case with the others.

"Just another short coming on my part.." She muttered, putting the pen down and rubbing her brow. "Way to start on your new life, Chloe."
