Chapter 2-Just one date
(The Next Day)
Sonja slowly crawled out of bed. She didn't want to go to work today, she was thinking about calling in sick, but she couldn't avoid LaSalle forever and she doubt Pride would believe that she was sick. She put on her normal clothes, blue jeans, black blouse, and a jean jacket with black heel boots. She didn't put on any make up, she didn't want to look pretty, she didn't even do her hair, and she just tied it up in a big messy bun.

When Sonja arrived at the office, Pride, Brody, and LaSalle were already there. She heard Pride in the kitchen, cooking she guessed. Brody and LaSalle were working at their desk. Sonja was trying to act as normal as possible. She waved to Brody as she walked by. She didn't say anything to LaSalle. She just sat down at her desk.
Brody got up and walked into the kitchen to Pride. Sonja and LaSalle sat silently at their desk.
LaSalle was glaring at her, but she was staring out the window.
He then slowly got up and went in the kitchen. He was in there for at least five minutes and then came back holding two cups of coffee. LaSalle was straight toward Percy.
'Play it cool' he said in his head.
'What? Why is he coming over? Just ignore girl!' she thought.
He walked up to her desk putting one cup down by her keyboard.
"Thought you would want one".
"Thank" she said quietly not even looking up at him.
He stood there staring at her, neither of them said anything.
Then suddenly Pride and Brody came from the kitchen.
"Gotta case, Naval Officer killed at his girlfriend's house, let's go!" he called out walking out.
It was time to work and Percy wasn't going to let her feelings stop her from doing her job, neither was LaSalle. Pride and Percy drove in Pride's car. She couldn't be alone with LaSalle again, who knew what would happen. She manage to hop in the car with Pride before Brody made it, Sonja knew that Brody was planning on riding with Pride but plans change.
Brody was completely shocked that Sonja jumped in front of her, but she shook it off and got in LaSalle's truck. They were all going to the same place, so who cares who rides with who. It was just weird how she didn't ride with her partner.
As they drove to the crime scene, it was silent in both cars. Brody thought whatever was going on with Percy, it wasn't her business and if Percy wanted her to know she would tell her.
When they arrived at the scene, Loretta was already there. They went to collect the information. Percy went to talk to the victim's girlfriend, Alison Madelynn, she is the one who found the victim. Pride and Brody went to talk to Loretta. LaSalle was taking pictures.
"Loretta, got something for us?" Pride asked as he walked up.
"Your victim, Robbie Michael was stabbed four times in the heart".
"Wow!" Brody said.
"Who did he piss off?" LaSalle asked joining the conversation.
After Percy got Ms. Madelynn's statement she joined the other around the body. They had all they needed from the scene and started packing up their gear.
"Ok, LaSalle, Percy, you two go talk to Mr. Michael's family, see if he had any enemies. Brody and I are going to the office to learn about our victim" Pride said.
LaSalle nodded and headed to the truck, a few steps and realized Percy wasn't following.
She could feel Pride and Brody staring at her.
"Is something wrong?" Pride asked her.
"No, just not feeling well that's all" Percy said finally moving toward LaSalle.
"You okay?" Brody asked, as a good friend would.
"Yeah, I'll be fine".
Then LaSalle and Percy got in the truck and drove off. It was quiet at first, but LaSalle started talking.
"Sonja..." he started, the way he said her first name made her shake.
She quickly turned on the radio before he could finish the sentence. She turned on loud rock. Now she didn't like it or listen to it before, but she wasn't going to listen to LaSalle.
Suddenly, the music was getting lower, she looked at the radio and saw LaSalle turning down the music.
Percy slapped his hand, hard and turned it up as loud as it went.
After that there was no more problems. They went to talk to the victim's parents and got nothing useful. Then they went back to the office.

When they got back, Brody was sitting at her desk typing with pride watching over her.
"Get anything?" Pride asked.
"Nope" Percy said setting her stuff down at her desk.
"You guys?" LaSalle asked.
"Nothin" Brody answered.
"Our victim's murder wasn't because of his job" Pride said.
"So it was personal" Percy says joining the group ay Brody's desk.
"Girlfriend?" Brody asked.
"She has an alibi, lunch with a close friend at Millie's" Percy said.
LaSalle was staring at Percy since she walked over. She knew it too, but didn't want to make a scene.
"Well..." Pride said. "Let's hope Loretta can help us".
"Yeah," Percy agreed.
"We'll go see, you two look for clues, go over the facts" Pride said and Him and Brody left.
The second Pride and Brody were out of sight, LaSalle grabbed Sonja's arm tight and pulled her in the observation room, he didn't want anyone to see them. Patton and Roy were there too.
Percy was full of emotions, scared, shocked, and worried. He was actually hurting her. She wanted to scream in fear, but she didn't want anyone to see what was happening either.
When he finally let her go, she rubbed her arm.
"What the hell?!" she yelled.
"I'm sorry, I just needed to talk to you".
"And you couldn't have asked?!" she lowered her voice.
"You've been ignoring me all day" he said moving closer to her.
"Well I couldn't call in sick".
"Last night…"
"Can we just pretend it didn't happen?" she asked crossing her arms.
"But it happen".
"Then, let's forget about it and move on. You still got that online dating thing and I…" she was cut off before she could finish.
"I deleted it".
"What?! We worked so hard on that!"
"Yeah, we did" he said laughing a little.
"LaSalle that's not funny, none of this". "Last night was just a stupid mistake that will never ever happen again, so can we both just be adults about this and move on, okay?" she asked seriously and then walked to the door, ready to leave.
"No"
"No? What do you mean no?"
"You kissed me"
"Because you were nice" she protested.
"So you kiss every guy that's nice to you?!"
"No!" she yelled. She took a few deep breaths calming down. "You called me beautiful in a way I haven't heard in a long time and I kissed you that's it" she lowered her voice again.
"You should hear that every day".
"Well I don't, okay?"
"Go out with me"
"What?" she asked completely confused.
"Go on a date with me"
"No!" she answered quickly.
"Just one date" he wasn't giving up, he wasn't that kind of person. "If you don't like the date at all, then I'll forget everything".
Sonja had to think about it for a minute.
It was a fair deal.
"Fine"
"Great, I'll pick you up tonight at 9".
They got off at 8:30 if they didn't have paperwork or a very serious case.
"Okay"
"One thing, you have to clear your mind about the date, make up your mind after not before. Just be positive".
"Fine, I'll see you at 9" she said leaving.
LaSalle smiled happily, he was going on a date with Sonja Percy.
