Chapter 37 - First Meeting
It was the first time they had ever met. Even so, the hard as nails homicide Detective Jocelyn Carter could never have known what she was getting herself into when she was given the case about a fight on the subway. It was something that didn't need someone in her department but the manpower was low so she agreed to help with the interrogation.
The first thing Jocelyn noticed right away about the homeless man was his eyes. When they began to speak, she could see something haunting within their blue depths, something that she had seen a few times before. The conversation was by the books, with Jocelyn lightly grilled the man for his name which he cleverly dodged.
He wasn't putting up a fight as much as he feeling her out. The homeless man was intrigued by the kindness of the beautiful woman in front of him. For some reason, he was fascinated to the core and wanted to learn more about her, what made her who she was.
The plastic cup that was taken from him was the only way Jocelyn would know the truth about who he was and what he had done. She didn't know this but before the incident on the train, he had been contemplating ending everything through one bullet.
Now a new game was afoot. The unexpected appearance of a lawyer allowed him to avoid jail time. No matter what the purpose, all the homeless man knew was that this woman, Carter, would begin to chase him for the sole purpose of arresting him. She would come looking and he would be sure to give her a run for her money.
The first thing on his list would be to clean up his appearance.
