Fearing the Quake
Morrison knew that he was driving faster than he should be but he really didn't care. He had been home getting some dinner when his cell phone rang. When he answered he heard Jen from the police station talking to someone else so he said hello to get her attention. Morrison could tell that she was really panicked (which was unusual for Jen) when she starting talking too fast for him to understand. But he did catch Joanne Walkers name which was enough to make him put down the plate of food he was carrying. Finally Jen calmed down enough to tell Morrison that Petite had been found in the park during the quake. When Morrison asked if Joanne was ok Jen told him that they had not found her yet which made Morrison head toward the door.
When Morrison made it to the park he was ready to start running around the park until he found Joanne. Happily Morrison didn't have to since he was Joanne next to her car as soon as he got there. He ran over to her and grabbed her shoulders, trying to see if anything was wrong. Morrison knew that he shouldn't feel such a strong sense of relief for someone that works for him but he could never seem to help himself when it came to Joanne.
After checking her over again to make sure that Joanne was ok Morrison started to get angry with her for making him worry like that. The anger only increased when he found out that Joanne was at the park continuing her poking into the murder. Morrison started to yell at her but after a moment noticed that something seemed to be wrong with Joanne's hand. As Morrison followed Joanne to his car he thought about he should not be getting this emotionally involved with a subordinate. But Joanne was like the heat from the sun; he just couldn't help but need her.
And his need was luck for her since she always seemed to be getting into trouble.
