Inspiration: Lewis CapaldiChapter 1She took in the scene before her. This was not what she had thought of when they told her to come to the park to do a quick pick up. The lights from the police cars and the other first responders were almost blinding in the dark.She had to walk away from them for a minute to focus on what she was there for. She couldn’t see what she had thought was going to be an easy pick-up. A gunshot. An overdose. She had to squint her eyes towards the water, which was where everyone was at. Then she saw it.She had to shake her mind clear for a few seconds. A water body was never easy. It was never quick. They were the worst ones to have to get. She knew this was her turn, regardless. She squared her shoulders and grabbed her bag. The two assistants she had were unloading the gurney and the bags they would need when she was done getting what she need

None of them expected this, and when she had the lights turned on, they entered a complete nightmare that she was standing in the middle of.This might be something that could make or break someone, and she knew that. Though she had been taken back, she knew she would be fine. Death and the dead never bothered her too much. It was always the living that seemed to aggravate her more. It seemed more and more vehicles were arriving by the minutes as the entire area was completely lit up.“So Doc?” someone called out as they walked towards her. She knew they must not

Things were taking shape more and more around her to make this officially a crime scene.The plans she was mentally coming up with for the recovery of the bodies once they were recovered one by one were not going well.

GravityJust because I carry it all so well doesn’t mean it’s not heavy…. ~unknownReed looked around the scene again. This time she knew some of the factors that would be going on around her. She didn’t like this news that she had got about her being looked at for more for another job. It was news to her, and she wasn't sure it was a good thing to even have in her mind right now. Knowing Mason also had a weird sense about the scene was good.She had watched him before on scenes, and she did enjoy him and his weird sense of humor and honor. He was not bad looking, she thought to herself though she often tried to base any interactions or possible ones off of their personalities instead of outwards looks, having found th

RainLife isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass. It’s about learning to dance in the rain.~unknown“Reed, I think that you should stay close while on-site,” Mason said as he looked down at her as they were alone again walking to her car when it was found to be completely blocked in.“Wonderful.” She said as she looked at the cars and trucks blocking her way. It seemed all was lost of her getting out of this mess for some time. She was already thinking of calling a rideshare car, but then she knew she wouldn’t get one out here at this time.“Hold on,” Mason said with a slight chuckle as he saw her about ready to lose her temper. It had already been a long day for both of them.

Peace in Hectic timesShe was an angel craving chaos. He was a demon craving peace.~unknownAs the two stood out in the pouring rain with their arms wrapped around each other, they knew they both looked like idiots. Neither of them cared, though. They stood out there until the car drove on the street, and they both looked up and laughed as the person got outran and gave them their food and ran back as they stood still in the rain still.“Time to eat.” He said as he took her hand in his and pulled her back to the house. Though it was her house, he led the way back inside. She smiled at him, and he just watched her like it was the first time he had really seen her. He was in awe of how beautiful the tiny woman was in front of him even though she was completely soaked through from th

She was sitting upright in her bed, wondering for a moment what woke her up. She heard noises coming from downstairs. Also, the faint breathing of Mason as he lay on his back. She looked down at him and saw the spot she had been a few moments before. His hand was still there as if her head was there underneath it.“Mason.” She said softly.“Hmmm.” He murmured back. The next time she shoved his slightly, “Mason!”“What?” he said as he opened his eyes and saw her sitting there. It took him a moment to realize he was in her bed and not his own, and the simple fact what
