Chapter 4

Plan

July 21, 2005

Raven woke to up to the sound of her alarm clock. She looked at her clock; it read 7:30 a.m. She made her way into her bathroom brushed her teeth and washed her face. Then she took a shower and washed her hair. Thoughts from last night came to her mind and she frowned. Raven didn't want to think about that Kori woman, she just wanted to forget. But then she smiled, Richard completely trusted her. He told her about Kori when he could have told her to mind her business. Raven turned off the water, grabbed her towel and dried off. After she was done, she went into her closet to find something to wear. Since Raven had a locker at the hospital where it contained her uniform, she could wear normal clothes. She picked out jeans and tee shirt that said 'You have issues' and socks. Then she made her way downstairs. What Raven saw made her feel very mischievous.

There on the table was his food which consisted of eggs, two slices of ham and some toast. It smelled so good and Richard back currently turned since he was on the phone. Apparently he didn't hear when she entered the kitchen. Now was her chance. Raven sat down and happily started to eat Richard's food.

Richard nodded even though Victor couldn't see it. Looks like they had another case on their hands.

"I'll be at the station in twenty minutes to help you, okay Vic."

"Did your roommate forgive you for being a jerk Dick?" Vic asked. Richard could practically see the smirk on his face.

"Just shut the hell up!" He hated when Vic or Gar found out anything, they never let him live it down.

"Bye." Richard could have sworn he heard laughing in the background. He sighed and hung up. Then he turned around and his mouth dropped open. Raven sitting in his seat with his food. Eating it. He paused and just stared.

As soon as shock wore off he smiled a fake smile. "Good morning, Raven."

"Good morning Richie," she said after taking another bite of his eggs. The Richie comment didn't even faze him; she was just his breakfast like it was hers. 'Too bad I can't arrest her,' he thought. 'I would just throw away the key.'

"Are you enjoying yourself, Raven?"

"Very much so, thanks for asking." She finished the last of the ham and got up. There wasn't anything left. Raven moved over to the sink and put the plate and the cup in there. Then she turned to look at him.

"Thanks for the breakfast Richie, maybe you should make some for yourself," Raven suggested. Richard gave her a blank stare. After she ate his food, she was just going to suggest that he make his own food. Oh hell no. Richard chuckled evilly as he walked toward her. Raven didn't like the sound of his laughter; it sounded psycho-like, so she backed up.

"Richard, be reasonable about this." It wasn't that she was scared or anything, he was just being a little creepy right now.

"Oh I am Rae, don't worry." He was in front of since now she was backed against the wall. He stared at her with an expressionless look on his face. She needed a way out of this situation. Raven suddenly smirked at him.

"Richard you'll be late for work!" she exclaimed. He looked at his watch and saw that he still had fifteen minutes left. While he was preoccupied, Raven made a dash for the door and made it out into the living room before a hand grabbed her spun her around. Richard backed Raven into the nearest wall again and held her wrists above her head.

"Pretty clever Rae-Rae, but you forget, I'm a detective," he said with a smirk.

She scowled at him. "So?"

"Why can't you make your own breakfast?"

"Why, when I can eat yours?"

"It stops being funny after awhile Rae-Rae."

"You didn't see me laughing, did you?" Raven raised an eyebrow and looked at him waiting for him to reply.

"How are you going to make it up to me?" He really wanted something to make up for the eating of his breakfast.

"By giving you a pat on the back and saying 'thank you'," she stated seriously. He looked at incredulously and she started to laugh. His expression was just too funny.

"Well what do you want?"

"How about you make me dinner tonight? Does that seem fair to you?" Raven thought it over and then she nodded agreeing. 'It can't be that hard can it.' That thought flashed through her mind. Richard smiled and hesitated on doing something. He leaned down and kissed her cheek. It seemed innocent enough to him.

"Can't wait." He smiled and removed his hands and went back into the kitchen. Raven just stood there. Then she put a hand to her cheek, that had felt…nice. She grabbed her sneakers and went to tell Richard bye. Raven was out the door and off to work.

True to his word, fifteen minutes later Richard was making his way through the police station. He went into his office only to discover Terra, Victor and Gar waiting for him. All three looked at him as if he had a secret to tell them.

"What?"

"Oh come on Dick, did your roommate forgive you or what?" Gar was very interested, especially since Richard had that pretty little lady all for himself.

"Yeah she did." Richard didn't feel like retelling what happen last night, but he knew eventually that they would get him to talk.

"She forgave you. Just like that?" Victor asked dubiously.

"Just like that," Richard recapitulated.

"Dick, you are dealing with other detectives don't insult our intelligence and act like we can't read your expressions," Terra spoke looking him dead in the eye. Richard sighed.

"Kori came back last night," he said emotionlessly. Three pairs of eyes bulged out of their heads and one mouth dropped open. That happened to be Gar's mouth. Vic was the first to break the silence. Richard told them how Kori wanted to move back in with him and how she thought he didn't know what she did before she left.

"So how did she take it?" Terra asked.

"She started crying." His voice was detached.

"Did you feel sorry for her?"

"Not really."

"Why not?" Terra couldn't believe what she hearing. Two years ago Richard would have been thrilled that Kori Anders came back into his life, but now he was just bitter and spat her name like it was a curse.

"After what she did, and then called Raven a whore. Did you think that I was going to pull her into my arms and make her feel better?" Richard tone definitely had anger and protectiveness when he spoke about Raven.

"Dude, if I had Raven as my roommate I'd be all over her in two seconds," Gar said with a smirk. Terra and Richard frowned. He didn't like the way Gar talk about Raven at all. And Terra didn't like the way Gar kept talking about a woman who had shown no interest in him at all.

"Well I'm glad that she's my roommate and not yours Gar," he told him in a possessive tone. "And besides that you're married," Richard reminded him, his stormy blue eyes hard. Vic eyes widened but not enough to be noticed. He couldn't believe Dick; he really and truly believed that Raven was his. Richard moved to take a seat at his desk trying hard not glare at Gar. 'But he went too far' his conscience said. Gar decided that he would watch his mouth around Dick. Because, if he ever came on to Raven, he knew that Dick would make him pay.

"Anyway let me hear the details of this new case." Richard wanted to change the subject. This was the second time in one week Richard had felt possessive over Raven, maybe he just needed to calm down. 'Calm down my ass' he thought angrily. 'He just needs to leave Raven alone'. Gar married for goodness sake. Victor told Richard everything that happened yesterday and Terra gave him the information on the ex-wife, while Gar just stayed silent. Dick was troubled for the first time in a while.

"Well," he said standing up. "Lets go to the apartment and investigate there, we should find some answers. Terra spoke up.

"I'll stay here and you guys call me incase you find anything." Terra just didn't want to be around Gar right now and she could get finally get to organizing some files. The guys nodded and made their way out the door, Garfield pausing to look at Terra who didn't even return the gaze. He knew that he was in some deep shit later.

Murder's P.O.V.

I got off of the elevator in Gotham General. In my hand, I held a file on person that I was interested in. I made my way to an office. I opened the door and saw that the man was alone; I walked in and closed the door. His name was Dr. Phillip Thomas, who was 35. He owed me a big favor. Four years ago he was accused date rape, but luckily I had been there to persuade the woman not to talk in exchange that he would leave the former hospital that he worked at. Now it was time to repay that favor.

"Hello Thomas," I said my voice smooth. "It's been a long time."

"What do you want Wilson?" I cocked an eyebrow, pleased that he still knew the way I operated.

"Well since you put so delicately, I do want something." I paused and narrowed my eyes. I was dead serious now. "I want you do go out on a date with one of your co-worker here at the hospital." He looked at me suspiciously.

"Who is she?" Again with the questions. I sighed and tossed him the file. He opened it and saw that it contained a picture of a lovely woman whose name was Raven Roth. I heard his breath hitch as he looked at the picture. This man was such a pervert. He stopped looking at the picture and looked at me.

"I'll go on a date with her, but what do you want me to do?" he asked. I handed him a container that had a pill inside. It would dissolve in any liquid.

"I want you to use the pill to make her talk. Set the date up for tomorrow night and I'll come to listen whatever she told you." Thomas sneered at me and asked a stupid question.

"What's in for me?" I walked to the door, smirked and turned around.

"You won't go to jail." I opened the door and left.

Raven was on the computer at the nurses' station making appointments for patients. On Raven's right to her making calls was Karen Wexler. She was African-American with dark brown hair and grayish colored eyes. Karen was a good friend to Raven and also helped her get acquainted with the staff and head board doctors at the hospital. On Raven left was Jennifer Morgan. She had strawberry blond colored hair and light green eyes. She had a flirtatious nature and was got along with almost everyone except old people. Jennifer just couldn't deal with them.

After Karen was done on the phone she turned to Raven and Jennifer. "How about later we go out for something to eat."

"As long as you're buying," Jennifer said automatically. Karen just looked with her eyes narrowed.

"Fine but next time your buying." Then Jennifer looked up and noticed a doctor coming to get a file. It was Dr. Thomas himself. He had that stupid self-satisfied look on his face that most people hated. He stopped in front of Raven who hadn't even noticed his presence. Karen tapped her and pointed. Raven looked up and scowled at him.

"Is there something that you need?" She really hated the way he was looking at her.

"Yes I was wondering if I could talk to you in private." Raven nodded and got up from her position to walk a little ways from the station so they couldn't hear their conversation.

"I was wondering if you would go out on a date with me?" He asked bluntly. Raven thought it over.

"What day?"

"Tomorrow night." Raven was picked up a strange feeling from him and decided to accept. Then she would figure out what the hell was his problem was.

"Alright then."

"I'll give you the details tomorrow on where going." With that he walked off without a single glance toward her. Raven made her way back to the station where Karen and Jennifer looked at her curiously. She decided to answer their unspoken question.

"He asked me out on a date," she said in her monotone voice. Their eyes widen and Karen spoke first.

"What did you say?"

"I agreed."

Jennifer's mouth dropped open. "But why would you?"

"There's something strange about him and now he is suddenly asking me out on a date." They both nodded and Raven went back to work still thinking about how she was going to tell Richard.

Kori sat on the bed in her hotel room. She came back for Richard and now he wanted nothing to do with her. In her hand she held a picture of her and Richard hugging, smiling at the camera. She remember when the picture was taken, it was during a Fourth of July celebration. A tear made its way down her face. She just couldn't give up; she would make Richard hers again. She laid down on the bed and smiled. Kori and Richard would be together again was the only way it could be.
