Chapter 1

The Weekend for Adrianna

It was the weekend and Adrianna was very thankful for that. Work had really worn her out lately. They had busted a drug bust two weeks ago and finding the drug lord that was selling the drugs to everyone. Yeah, the life wasn't as well as she liked it to be. She had a boyfriend whom she didn't see that much because of police work. She worked 3rd shift which meant she worked all night and slept all day.

She laid in bed Saturday morning with her black cat Luna. She had a small crescent shape on her chest like a crescent moon at night. Luna slept next to her everyday and was always up with her at night when she would get ready for work and when she got home. Adrianna had gotten Luna when she was just six weeks old. She had spotted her going by the pet shop one day and couldn't resist the little face she was giving her. So she gave in and bought Luna that night.

"Well Luna, it's the weekend, finally the weekend and sleeping in." Adrianna sighed.

Luna blinked her green eyes and meowed. Adrianna smiled and couldn't help, but laugh a little. She told Luna everything and she knew Luna wouldn't tell a soul. Adrianna's room was pitch black because of the black curtains that hung in the windows. She was sleeping all day from the night before. Just as 1:00 rolled by the doorbell rang. She didn't hear it at first and just snuggled deep in the covers. Then she suddenly heard the door open and Adrianna was wide awake and ran to the door with her gun in her hand.

"Hey baby! Put down the gun I just wanted to come and see you!" he exclaimed with his hands up in the air.

"Why do you do this to me? You know I work third shift and yet you still think you can barge in my house like your somebody." she retorted rubbing the bridge of her nose.

"I'm sorry baby I'll leave." he replied.

"Please go ahead and go. I need my sleep."

"Oh I just remember something!"

"What that you left your brains in the car?" she asked.

"Very funny I just wanted to show you something on the TV really quick. He walked past her and turned on the TV to the news. There on the screen looked like a huge battle between giant beings.

"Anna, these things are only a few hours away." he whispered seeing the shock on her face.

She quickly turned to him and replied, "What do you want me to do about it? I can't arrest those beings. I mean my hand cuffs would only fit human hands not…not these giant robot like things."

"I know honey I just wanted to show you." he replied kissing her head.

"Okay Jeffy, I'm getting a little tired of you coming in on a Saturday morning knowing I was up late last night working. I'm getting tired of this Jeff. I'm past tired of it."

"But baby!" he exclaimed surprised.

"Don't baby me. I'm very tired and I'm going to take a nap. Please go." she sighed putting her hand to her head. She had a horrible head ache and she needed peace and quiet.

Of course the giant robots were going to be in her head. She had seen a blue and red one and a silver one that was attacking the humans in the city. The red and blue one looked as if it did have a heart and trying to protect the humans. Finally Jeff left the room and she was able to close the door. She finally laid down turned off the TV. Luna came up to her and started meowing at her face.

"Not now Luna." Adrianna moaned.

Luna meowed again wanting attention.

"Luna I'm tired at the moment please stop." pleaded Adrianna.

Luna seemed to understand this time and curled up in a ball next to her. For a few hours Adrianna was able to sleep without disruptions. When she finally woke up it was about 5:00p.m. and she was up and ready. She put on her jogging outfit and carried her badge along with her gun. She was always prepared just in case.

She went out for a jog like she always did. She loved jogging in the evening when it was cool and you didn't over heat. As she ran she saw friends who were walking their dogs in the park. She really enjoyed the night air. She loved California. She loved the smell the seasons…everything about it. Well almost everything. Now finding the boyfriends were hard…they were all jerks. Some men were pimps and just wanted money for sex. Suddenly her mind wondered to Jeff…she liked him. She really did like him. She wouldn't have dated him for so long, but she got tired of the clinging. She felt bad for him, but she hoped that he could move on.

She was thinking about moving to a different state, she wasn't sure which one, but somewhere far to find a man she would love and cherish. Jeff was too clingy and got on her nerves too much. Yeah, California wasn't always perfect.

Saturday night past too fast and the next thing Adrianna knew it was Sunday and that Monday night was work. Neither she nor Jeff had spoken to each other at all since that day. It was just she and Luna. She stayed home mostly getting on the computer and talking to people all around the world. Just as she was about to go to bed her phone rang.

"Who could this be?" she asked herself.

When she answered it was Jeff.

"Hey Jeffy!" she exclaimed trying to sound happy.

"Okay Adrianna don't try to sound happy to hear me. I actually called you to tell you that I've moved on."

"That's fine Jeff. I'm very happy for you. Of course it didn't take you that long did it?" she asked.

"No, I met this wonderful woman at the bar. She awesome." he replied.

"Well Jeff I'm hitting the hay stack." she yawned.

"Won't you have to go to a farm to find one of those?" he asked.

"Very funny Jeff." she replied and hung up the phone.

Monday morning flew in and landed. It hit her in the head when she realized she was going to go to work that night. She didn't feel like going. She didn't get much sleep the past weekend. There was either too much to do or too much she wanted to do and never got around to doing and was lazy. Luna waited patiently for her Fancy Feast that Adrianna got her for her meals.

Adrianna really spoiled Luna. Luna was the size of a normal cat, but she ate so much and then she'd run it off. She weighed only like 5 pounds that was about it. That night when she got to work she went in the office and signed in. She then got in the car and started to drive when she got a call.

"Officer Barlo?" asked a voice.

"I'm here." she replied.

"I'm sorry. I know you just came on your shift, but I need your help with this one. I've got a runner who is resisting arrest." replied the male voice.

"Okay I'll be there when I can." she exclaimed.

"Okay I just past the 126 mile marker." he radioed in.

"Roger that." she announced.

Once she knew it was safe to talk she sighed, "Only five minutes of work and I'm already getting somebody. Its going to be a long night."
