Chapter 21: Jesse
Lolah called me up crying.
"Lolah? Are you all right? Is everything ok?" I say.
"No, nothing is ok. Jenna's in the hospital because she broke her stitches, Liv is missing, and I'm now emancipated and in $2,000 dollars worth of dept!" she says as she bawls to me over the phone.
"Its ok, I'll be right over." I say.
"No, I'm at Daffy's, I just got off my shift. That's not why I called though; can you pick me up and drive me to Olivia's work? Despite the bad mood, we need to get to work. The missing kid's case, you know about her parents? Well, it was one of her cases, so she probably has some information in her desk." She says, now calmed down a little.
"..Sure, be right there." I say as I hang up the phone.
"How do we get in?" I say as I parked my car in front of the 16th precinct.
"Easy, I have a spare key…actually, It's Jenna's but she hasn't figured that out in 2 years." she says as she turns the key in the lock and the door swings open.
"Ok, she works on the 13th floor. So let's go" Lolah says as she laces her fingers through mine & drags me into the elevator. Pressing the button she looks up at me and smiles…
"What's so funny?" I say as she leans against the cold metal wall of the elevator.
"You owe me a kiss…" she says as she beckons me towards her with one swift movement of her index finger. I kiss her softly as I look into her ocean blue eyes. The electric shock of lust and love consumed me as I lean in for another kiss. Passionately, our tongues dance in rhythm, as her breath begins to get heavy. I can sense that she is struggling, trying to fight the want…the need…to wrap her mile long legs around my waist. Our hands move so quickly over each other as our tongues continue to dance. Her hands move like lighting as she tangles her hands in my brown hair and begins to remove my shirt. My lips move down from her lips to her cheeks as we go up in the elevator…
Floor 4…they move to her chin.
Floor 5…to her neck
Floor 6… to her collar bone…
At this point both of our shirts and sanity are discarded on the floor as my hands rapidly caresses her. She bites my tongue, but the sting feels good as she continues to wrap her arms around me. As my hands move up her thigh, her body trembles a little. Just before I could get to that secret hidden place she breathed;
"stop!" I froze as Lolah looks a bit shaken.
"I…I mean…we're almost there, to our floor, so it'd be best if we stop now."
Reluctantly I agreed, as we picked our shirts from the ground. For the rest of the ride up, the small confined space was filled with silence. Soon the elevator rings as the doors split open on when we arrive at the 13th floor. She takes my hand and drags me to a small desk.
"Ok, let's split up. You look on the bookshelf; I'll look in her desk." She says, and with one quick glance at her, I do as told.
After a few seconds, of searching in an awkward haze.
"Found some old newspapers...but there are words cut out and pictures missing too." she says as she shows me.
"Ya, same here. All these maps have stuff cut out ...who doesn't want you found?" I say to the papers. Just then the lamp on Olivia's desk that provided light, shut off.
"Um...hello? Is anybody there? We weren't done..." Lolah says as she turns her cell phone light on, and goes to the light switch in the hall. She goes to turn it on, but nothing... just then I see a shadow behind her.
"Hello?" I say as a walk over to her. Just then I hear a crash on the other side of the desk and we both run towards the noise.
"Lolah! Run!" I say, as I see a shelf being pushed behind were she was standing. She dodges gracefully, and we both get up and run.
"Quick, press the button!" I say, as I push the button on the elevator."Damn, it's broken too." I say as I grab her quickly and run down the stairs.
Reaching the first floor,
"I...never...went..down a...flight..of...st..stairs that ...fast..." Lolah says, out of breath.
"Me...either..but..we...should...go..." I say, as we walk out to the car.
"Where's the car!" I say, as we exit the doors to find nothing in the parking lot.
"Damn!" I say as I slump down on the sidewalk.
"Hey, look!" Lolah says as she bends down and picks up a piece of paper that rests in my cars place.
"Tonight's a good night for a campout, don't you think? Besides, you don't have a car! Sweet dreams, and pray that you wake up alive. M." she says in terror.
"It's ok..." I say as I rush over and hold her in my arms.
It isn't long before she's cried herself to sleep as we both rest upon the wall outside. Kissing her forehead,
"Good night." I say, as I begin to doze off.
