"And that is how they caught the 'South Side Murderer'." Explained Daniel for the third time since Carlos had left with Jim to investigate a murder.
"I don't get it," said Jeff.
Daniel groaned. "What don't you get?"
"Why couldn't he just swim the bay."
"Because they had boats all through the bay."
"Oh, okay, that makes sense."
"We're back!" Yelled Jim as he walked in toting a gurney with a body bag.
"Whoa! Is he dead?" Jeff asked.
"Yes, which means you and I are leaving so that tweetle-dumb and tweetle-dead can do the autopsy."
"Can we watch?"
"No."
"Why?'
"Your mom would kill me."
Once they were outside in the parking lot Jeff asked, "Can we get something to eat?"
"Yeah, let's pick up some ice cream and bring your mom some."
"Jeff told me your favorite was cake batter." Jim said as he handed her the ice cream cone.
"Yes, I love it. Thank you. Um, I was wondering, you being a cop and all. My release date is in a week, could you get me out of here sooner. Like tomorrow. I would do better at home."
"Ha, no way. Besides you aren't going home, you'll stay with me. I have a spare bedroom and an extra room that could be turned into a bedroom. We don't know why Ray was killed so you can forget about going home."
"Jim…" Callie wined. "Please I want to go home." After he shot her a look she corrected herself. "I would be safer at your house than I would be here."
"I'll see what I can do. Jeff do you have your homework done for tomorrow?"
"I have to go to school!"
"Lord, you've had two days out of school, what more do you want?"
"Well you said that I could have my own room so we should go shopping."
"The blue or the green?"
"Green and that lamp."
"You already have a lamp."
"But this one matches the green sheets."
Jim's phone rang, "Hello."
"Hello, so I have Jeff's bed and the Xbox in the truck."
"Thanks Daniel, I'll be there in ten minutes."
"Let's go we'll come back tomorrow."
As they waited in the check out line Jeff cleared is throat.
"Can I have some friends over tomorrow after school, since it's Friday?"
"Uh, how many are some?"
"Me, Kyle, and Mark. We could go swimming and play the Xbox."
"Yeah, see if they can spend the night too."
"Really, you're awesome."
So this was kinda long for me, hope you like it and I love all the reviews I am getting!
