Dolls stands in front of the mirror in his bathroom with the water running he splashes some on his face. The cold water felt good on his skin as he grips the edge of the sink as he lets the water run down his face unto his bare chest. This was the third night in a row that he awoke in the middle of the night from the same dream. He had to get a grip on things. He could not let something else get in the way of doing his job. Beside Lucado would take no more excuses from him not producing evidence and material she needs on the revenants in this town.
"Damn it" dolls yells out as he bumps into the table as he leaves out of the bathroom.
"I have to move this damn table" he told himself or he wouldn't have anymore toes. Something catches his eye it was a picture of wynonna that fell out of a folder he brought home from the station. He leans down and picks it up. He looks over the picture, he must have seen this picture a hundred times but everytime he looks at it he finds something new to admire about her more.
Dolls lets out a sigh "wynonna" as he places the picture back in its folder. She had been a pain in his ass when he first met her, now he could not see himself working with anyone else but her and if he didn't do his job Lucado for sure will relocate him. That was not a option for him now. He had built up this iron clad wall making sure nothing would get through but somehow this wise cracking, doughnut eating woman with a big ass gun found her way in.
She was a mess when he met her, dolls starts laughing "hot mess" he said with a smile. Remembering those were the words she used in the truck that day. He found out working with her it was so much more than that. Its becoming harder and harder by the day to not tell her. He knew he hurt her when she asked him to tell her just once he cared about her he could not. He was a coward that stood behind his badge and she called him out on it by calling him a pussy. He wanted to tell her but how? How could he knowing what he is and lucado said it best, "Monster" dolls spoke softly into the dark room.
Dolls sat at the table and tried to get a little work done because he knew going back to sleep was not going to happen. So many papers but it was not making any sense especially at 4:50am. Dolls pushed the papers back he was not in the mood for work. He spotted a jump rope on the floor by the bed he began jumping. That did not seem to satisfy the adrenaline he had surging through him, so he dropped and begin doing push ups. The more he went down the more her face popped into his head. He fell to the floor breathing heavly he didn't want to close his eyes because if he did he would see her. He jumped up he starts throwing practice jabs in the air,
"Alright get it together damn it" he says throwing more jabs in the air " hurting her is not an option you got that" as he continues throwing jabs.
Dolls knew what it took, hell he's been doing it a long time keeping people out. This was alot tougher then previous times because he had not met anyone that came close to her. When he had a job that was all it was. He never knew coming to a town call purgatory that he would
"Don't think it or say it" dolls tells himself. He had to get out of this apartment or he would drive himself mad. Dolls threw on some clothes and headed out the door. As he walked into the station it was quiet as usual. As he headed towards his office he could hear that someone was surely inside. Everyone knew that this office was off limits he made sure of that. He pulled his gun out and slowly turned the knob and busted inside "Hands Up" Dolls yelled. Wynonna fell backwards out of the chair.
"What the hell dolls" wynonna yelled as she got up off the floor. "You made me drop my donut"
He started to smile she had powered sugar on her nose, " so glad you think this funny" she says
"You have powered sugar on your nose" he tells her while pointing to his nose. Wynonna wiped the sugar from her nose realizing how she might have looked.
Wynonna looked at him "why are you here so early?"
He came here to to get her off his mind and there she was standing right in front of him would he be able to tell her the truth? Throw all caution out the window and take a chance, something he never did? Or would he continue to lie?
