"I can't freakin' believe it!" growled Dean Ambrose under his breath. "She stole my case! My case!"

"Relax, man. She didn't steal it. She didn't want it on the first place. Roman just gave it to us." Seth tried to calm down his friend.

"Yeah, Roman just gave it to her… I'm sure that if I had boobs, he would have left it to me. How can he be so blind? He is the head here and he shouldn't be letting some woman to get under his skin like that… " murmured Dean.

Seth just shook his head. He was in verge of laughter. He wasn't sure what was wrong with Dean, but Mary surely wasn't getting under Roman's skin. To him it seemed like she was already under Dean's. And he was the blind one here, because he obviously couldn't see it. Or could he?

"She's new around here. He gave her the case to prove herself. She's engaged and that's not the way she had gotten her job anyways. Stop with the crap."

"Yeah, you are defending her, because she is your partner and what's good for her, it's good for you as well. Obviously she has proven herself enough. Her bed skills at least. And so what if she's engaged? That doesn't mean she has to stop spreading her legs in front of every male around here."

"You are unbelievable!" Seth answered, sighing. He was tired of listening all that crap Dean talked on daily basis. Sometimes he thought that Mary was all the Sergeant was thinking about.

"I'm unbelievable… yeah sure. You want her as well, don't try to deny that… or… maybe you have already banged her!" Dean stated, looking at Seth, insanity was shining from his eyes.

"Would you shut the fuck up already? I haven't slept with her, but even if I had, that shouldn't be your concern anyways. I wouldn't mind having a woman like her in my bed, yes, but she's just my partner and I'm glad I could call her a friend. And plus she's engaged." repeated Seth again.

Dean opened his mouth to answer, but he closed it shut again as he saw Lieutenant Reigns's office door opening. Mary looked around, obviously searching her partner. As she spotted him, she walked up to him with a folder in her hands.

"Here… this is our new case. What do you say to get something to drink, while we are taking a look at it?" she asked Seth, smiling slightly to him. Mary did everything possible to ignore Sergeant Ambrose's gaze. She felt his stare, burning holes in her. It was uncomfortable and she was ashamed of her actions a few weeks ago, that's why she wanted to get away from him as soon as possible.


"Okay… what we've got here? I heard about McIntyre's ugly death, but I never thought, Roman's going to give the case to us. Usually Dean's specialized for that." Said Seth, taking a sip from his coffee. Mary nodded in agreement as she opened the folder in front of them.

"Yes… I think the Lieutenant wants to give me a chance… he's a nice guy." Mary stated. Roman had agreed to give her a job a few months ago and she knew she had to prove herself. She was still young and didn't have a lot of experience, but the Lieutenant seemed to understand that. That's why he gave her that case. She would never prove herself, if there was nobody to give her the chance to do so. That was Mary's biggest case and she was ready to cope with it. Now Sergeant Ambrose hated her even more, but she wasn't going to loose anything anyways. He would hate her no matter what after that night and he had every right. "So… it had happened yesterday around eight pm, right after he had gotten back home from work. He has a roommate as I can see, but he wasn't home. Sergeant Ambrose took the case first, so he was the one to go there and to expect the place… That's his report… Mr. Barrett, the roommate, has already been interrogated, but he wouldn't mind if we ask him some questions as well I guess."

Seth nodded in agreement. McIntyre was their coworker so to say. Actually he was the pathologist. He was a little annoying at times, but they were all surprised to see him like that.

"So… it's pretty ugly." Mary started again after the little pause. "We've got some pictures here. Look at his face and that horrified expression. He must have been caught by surprise… and it must have hurt. I feel kind of sorry for him."

Mary never liked that guy. His flirtatious smirk was always making her want to vomit. And he was always hitting on her. It was pretty annoying and he was usually making her feel uncomfortable, but never the less… no body deserved that horrible, horrible death. Mary scanned down the report. Yes, now she was going to vomit for sure.

"Holy crap… his heart was missing, when they found him… It was ripped out of his chest. "She told Seth with wide eyes.

"And did they find it?" he asked.

"Yes… in the kitchen… boiling over the hot – plate."

"Oh… great… we have to deal with a psycho…" Seth murmured and took another sip of his cup.


"Okay… let's see what you have in your cup." Liz told Mary after she finished her coffee. Liz was her best friend since she could remember. She had this strange gift… or maybe it was a sixth sense… No, it was more than that. Sometimes Liz was telling strange stuff… without knowing it or wanting it, it just happened. Stuff about the future and they always turned out to be true till now.

She was telling Mary's fortune by coffee. Liz did that once in a while and Mary didn't mind.

"Okay… I see a river… that's you. There's one tree on the one side and another on the other. They are both strong big trees, but one of them is worm – eaten on the inside. You shouldn't worry that much about it I guess, because you are looking towards the other one. And you are closer to it, but one of the river's feeders is in the direction of the worm – eaten one. It's only one of all the feeders. See that thing here… it looks like a skeleton… that means Death. Someone will die. "Said Liz calmly.

"Oh…" Mary wasn't sure if she should worry about that or not. Liz always talked in riddles, when she was telling fortune by coffee or cards or anything.

"Don't worry. I'm still learning how to do that. It looks like a skeleton to me… I might be wrong." Liz explained to her friend. When Mary nodded with smile appearing on her beautiful face again, the other woman asked: "How are the things between you and Randall?"

"Oh… they are good. We are good. Everything is great." Answered Mary.

"Did you start preparing the wedding?"

"No… I'm very busy lately and so is he. He's always in the lab, working hard. Yesterday was the first day from months, when he got home earlier. But we are not in a hurry anyways."

"Okay. Somehow I think that you'll be busy and in two months from now and in six months from now. Maybe it's time for you to admit it at least to yourself that you're not happy with him and he's not the man for you." Liz said, looking at Mary with her stern blue stare.

"Well… you are wrong. I love him. I'm happy with Randy and I'll marry him. You are saying all these things, because you don't like him."

"Yes, I don't like him and you knew that from the moment we meet. I told you. I've got a bad feeling…"

"I know, but I love him." Answered Mary, confidently.

"Alright… but remember: there were two trees in your cup. And be careful with him. He looks nice on the outside, but in the end he might rip your heart out of your chest just like all the other ones."

Liz stood up from her chair, ready to leave Mary's home, just when Randy got home. He smiled widely at both of them and walked to his girl, placing a long loving kiss on her lips.

"Hey, Liz. How are you?" he smiled widely.

"I was good until now. But I'm leaving anyways. Bye, Mary." Liz hugged her friend and hurried to get out of the apartment.

"Why does she hate me so much?" asked Randy. Mary shrugged her shoulders and brought him in for another kiss.
