Chapter 1 : Ice Cream .

The day had been long, very long , just like this last week too. The investigation, which had occupied the station number four in the hot summer weeks was long and laborious .The Detective Murdoch was left very shaken and tired.

He finished cleaning up his office while most of his colleagues were leaving . His superior , spent a moment , noticing him bluntly that he look terrible and should rest.
Murdoch had nodded politely , knowing that back at home did not appease and sleep finish by finding him, of course, but after hours of an hard fighting .
The young man sighed heavily , dropping his office on the record of the case he had to complete . He looked up the test tubes that were a little further . He looked them for a moment , then he took them and left the room at a run without looking back.
He had no good reason to go to the morgue , because these tubes could well wait until tomorrow to find their wardrobe, but when the mood felt dying , nothing could put him right than go in this room. Strange reaction for many people, but for the Detective Murdoch, it was not surprising. Years before, he knew why the fact of being in the morgue restored the smile and soothed . Today the reason for his happiness, as small as it was , had gone on with his life away from him, he did not know why he had this urge to go there.
He made the several meters that separated the building without slowing down the pace before go up to the room he knew so well . He came in, surprised to see it still light because although it was not late , Dr. Grace never haunted places once her work is completed . Rather, it is often pressed to exit the morgue and go to lots of appointments. Murdoch fully understood , Dr. Grace was not Dr. Ogden ...

He continued to move to the office where he saw two figures behind the glass . He froze the space of a second when he heard the voice he knew well and he had not heard for weeks already . He locked eyes with the young Doctor who smiled.
- Good evening Detective , she called in a loud voice , what can I do for you ?
Before he had time to answer , the young woman who had her back turned. He felt that he knew so well shiver through his entire body.
-Doctor ... Ogden ? Murdoch uttered hardly taking up his spirits .
-Good evening , the young woman replied shyly tying her fingers before her.
- How are you ? The young man feeling his words choked in his throat.
- Well, well , 'she said, smiling but still ill-at-ease.
- Dr Ogden came to my new job , replied Emily , she ensures that I am treated well by the men of the station four position, the young woman laughing .
She noticed that his attempt to lighten the atmosphere was a real failure and briefly cleared her throat before speaking again .
- There's something I can do for you ?
- I ... no, stammered Murdoch finally leaving Julia eyes , I just wanted to bring you these test tubes. They were very helpful to me , thank you Doctor.
- You're welcome , she answered , I'll put everything on. I was about to leave.
- You can leave then , I know where to put them , said William .
- Well, then I wish you a good evening sir, I'll put on my way to not be late for my meeting.
- Good evening Doctor.
-Detective, good evening Doctor , she said to the attention of Julia, who had remained silent until now , and I hope to see you soon.
- I hope so too , replied Julia , good evening Emily .
- Goodbye, released the young woman before moving them and quickly left the room without looking back.
William and Julia stood in front of one another in silence still watch a few seconds before the girl takes a timid voice .
- You want to store these test tubes , I think, do you want I care ?
-Yes, in fact I wanted to, William replied with a smile, I'll do it , 'he added before heading towards the center of the room where the dark furniture.
Julia watched him as he carefully arranged the material on the small wooden plank.
She knew him perfectly for years and nothing to see, she noticed that something was wrong. He seemed confused and gloomy. His gaze was turned off and a ride she did not know , on his forehead . She took a deep breath and walked into the room to turn .
-William ? She whispered .

She met his gaze and noticed he tried to smile at him even if it was more like a grimace.
- What's going on? Said the Doctor. You seem strange.
- I had a long day and the investigation was challenging .
- I understand by Dr. Grace that the investigation was complicated for everyone but you have reached the end of it all. As you always do.
- Certainly, William sighed letting her look away, but it woke painful wounds I thought long closed .
- Do you want to talking about ?
-No, I do not prefer Julia .
- I understand , she sighed looking at the ground a few moments.
They were silent , Julia gaze never leaving the Detective, when he was lost in thought.
She walked to the white refrigerator without a word . She opened under the astonished gaze of William who finally seemed to have woken up . She dipped her hand in and pulled out two metal pots . Then she closed the door and turned to her friend.
- I have something that will improve your day.
- And what is it? William asked , frowning .
-Follow me , she said simply as she walked to the office again.
She opened a drawer and took out two spoons before watching .
-Julia ?
-William , I have a secret, she said , and I think it is time you know it.
- I am afraid I do not follow you.
Julia laughed , which made him feel his heart leap into his chest. He did not have time to answer , the young woman approached him again , smiling broadly.
- Just stop to asking, and let me do it, she said, anchoring his eyes into hers.
- But you should not go home at this hour?
- You should know that I will never abandon my friends when they need company. It is not waiting for me , so I have time for you .

He still stood and silent during a few seconds , his eyes never leaving her beloved , and he simply nodded in agreement.
She smiled at him again and she just took the wrist to train with her to the exit from the morgue . They borrowed the wide corridor before opening a small wooden door and be in a tiny room in which they could not do a step. Julia had dropped the arms of his friend who wondered again what she had reserved for him as a surprise . He followed her gaze to the iron ladder that was hanging just above them. Julia turned to him , touching him in her move, as the room was small . She handed him the pot she was holding and he just took without saying a word . It would take yet speak, ask her what she could doing , when he met her gaze . That look that said " William , no question. Let me do it , you will understand. "
He smiled shyly , as if he had heard his friend whisper these words. He had to admit that all the times she had taken the lead to anything at all , he was not disappointed, except once, which was the most painful of his life , which had away from him forever.
The young woman turned her back again and held out her arms to scale down immediately unfolded as she sighed. She put the first foot on the first rung and climbed up slowly , as interrogators and amazed the Detective , who was well admit that his eyes had rarely seen such a nice show. His eyes lost in the sea of white lace and fabrics of the dress of his friend, and soon he looked down at the floor as if he had committed the worst crimes. Once upstairs , Julia opened a wooden door and the light of the setting sun bathed the room immediately . She passed the door and once on the other side , she leaned inside.
- Are you coming?
William did not answer and went to turn somehow with pots in hand. Once up , he saw where he was. The roof. He never came to him the idea to go there because the place was cramped , the platform had only a few square meters before the dark roof flows into a vacuum. He leaned for a moment to see the street below before turning to his friend . She stood on the other side and watched the sun set behind the trees and rooftops .
- It's beautiful, whispered William arriving at her side and looking in the same direction.
Julia looked at him smiling a few more seconds before the Detective turns to her .
- And these pots ? He said simply by handing him .
-Ice cream, said the young woman taking one of them.
-Ice cream? William repeated , laughing softly. Julia, you will always astonish me .
She smiled and opened the first pot.
- Chocolate, so you have the vanilla. Which do you prefer ?
- Well, William muttered watching the pot still closed his hand.
- You have never eaten ice cream, Julia murmured .
- From looted , with a fruit syrup , but ice cream , no. We do reserve it for special occasions in dinner parties and I'm not part of that world .
He locked eyes with the young woman who immediately fled looking away .
-Julia ? He said shyly , frowning .
- I forgot that you were not of "this world ," she said bitterly .
-I do not mean to offend you , he immediately said , excuse my clumsiness .
He saw her laughing shyly before she turned to him again.
-Your clumsiness William , it is so much a part of you that we could not forget . But as always, we forgive you .
He smiled at her and she could not help but do the same , shaking her head from side to side before speaking again .
- Are you willing to be with me to eat this ice cream or do you prefer not to attend a person from another world ? She said with a mischievous way.
-Eat this ice-cream Doctor, launched the Detective for any response .
They exchanged glances and even took the floor , feet on the dark roof. Julia began to eat the ice she had in her hand , and William did the same with his, then a few minutes later, they exchanged pots . They talked about everything and nothing , especially the station number four and business they had to deal with when she had still been his colleague.

The sun was gradually disappeared over the horizon , igniting the sky darken already . William did not mention the case that made her feel so bad, Julia did not ask him any questions. Be with her was enough to make him feel better and he did not need anything else to talk with her friend sat on the roof watching the sunset and eat this ice cream . And finally, when the pots and spoons were left behind , a rumbling was heard above their heads. They looked up at the black sky and threatening.
- We should go Julia , the storm will fall.
- It does not scold , he will not fall here , said it without leaving the sky eyes.
- Hmm , muttered the Detective, I think you 're wrong Doctor.
- Please William , Julia launched , stay a little longer, I bet you it 's nothing.
- Well, we shall see, the young man replied , shrugging his shoulders .
They still remained a few minutes on the roof , talking to their friends when the first drops began to fall . In just a few seconds , the sky poured without restraint over the city of Toronto.
The two friends had risen hastily and William took Julia 's hand to prevent her from falling on unstable ground . They rushed to the door and had passed in haste . William immediately closed behind him , but they were already soaked them both. He helped the young woman to climb the ladder , brushing his hand along the way, but enjoying the sensation he felt at this touch.
Then they left the room and debouched into the corridor again. They shared glances and laughed out loud.
- I bow , threw Julia leaning against the wall, you were right.
- I'm very often , you know, he said laughing.
- Maybe do I lost this bet, but I am pleased to have been able to give you a smile , Detective.
He smiled at her before answering shyly , stepping toward him to come stand just a few inches from her .
-You know , you 're probably the only one who can be responsible for this estimate . George tries it from time to time , but I think he does not do so voluntarily .
They laughed again in unison and before Julia had time to reply, a clearing of the throat sounded a little further . They turned their heads at the same time in his direction and froze at the same time .
- Darcy ? Julia threw amazement.
- I may be interrupting you ? He said quietly.

-No, I was going , 'said Julia , wait I 'll get my hat.
He simply nodded and the woman vanished soon after giving a look at William . It remained silent , shot by the accusing gaze of Dr. Garland. But still, he did not move the time Julia was absent. By the time she had left was very short , he wondered if she had not almost ran to return as soon as possible . She put her hat on her head when she came up to them and Darcy took off his jacket which passed over her shoulders.
- Where were you to be soaked in this way?
Her white blouse and full of water hid anything underneath her laces and for a moment , William believed to have left the land at this view.
The young woman closed the jacket of her husband with one hand and grabbed his arm.
- A long story, she whispered simply .
- I would like to know , but on the way if you do not mind , we have a last minute invitation , we are expected in an hour. I 've been waiting for an hour already .
- I did not see the time , she said, giving a shy glance at William , but if we are waiting let's go , I would like to change my clothes. Goodbye Detective , may be soon, she said, smiling for his friend .
- Goodbye Doctor, it was a pleasure to see you again .
-Me as well , she said before blushing.
- Good evening to you both , 'said the Detective.
- Thank you, Julia said while Darcy pulled a little more to him , you too .
- Goodbye Detective Murdoch replied Darcy as politely world while yet a hint of nervousness in his voice shines .
The couple left the hall a few seconds later, leaving the Detective Murdoch alone, dripping from head to foot , but a shy smile on his face after spending few minutes so enjoyable with Dr. Julia Ogden .
