"Hey, how would you like to grab some coffee after work?"
"Sure, that sounds great."
"See you at four, cutie." He smiles, kissing her cheek.
"Uh!" She blushes again around the cheeks and nose. "Y-yeah…Same to you, Peter."
He smiles again and leaves. And right at four, he sees her walk in. "Hey there, cutie."
"Hey there, Peter." she giggles. "Or is it 'Jones'?"
"Call me either way…" He holds out a beautiful pink rose.
"Oh…" She looks at and takes the rose. "For me?" He nods and she smells it, taking in its sweet scent as she closes her eyes. "It's beautiful…"
Peter just smiles. "I see you are married."
"Oh," she chuckles, looking at her rings. "yes, just recently, actually."
"I see. Any children?"
"Two. Four and four months."
"Aww…"
"You're welcome to meet them sometime, if you like." She says invitingly with a smile.
"Sure, I'd love to…"
"What about you, Peter, do you have a family of your own?"
"Uh! Um…" He looks away, causing Tèa to grow concerned.
"Peter…?"
"I…I'm sorry…I have to go…" He gets up and starts to leave, but she quickly follows after, resting her hand on his shoulder.
"Peter, wait, I…I'm sorry." He begins to cry softly. "Peter…" He then falls to his knees, with Tèa doing the same, her hand still rested atop his shoulder. "Oh, Peter, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings, honest!"
"Th…they're…they're dead…They're all dead!" Tèa gasps softly in shock. "A…a serial killer…came to my house…and killed my wife…and daughter…She was only three…"
"Oh, Peter…I'm so sorry…"
"I…I tried to stop him…I was a sergeant back then…and I couldn't…I just couldn't…I quit the force long ago…"
"But…if you quit, then…h-how are you…"
"Your father…wanted me back…"
"My father?"
He nods. "I came back…and he promoted me…"
Tèa forces a small smile, both still feeling the sadness inside. "You must have felt very proud."
"I did…But…my wife and daughter weren't there."
'Oh, Peter…' She holds him close as he continues sobbing. "I'm sorry, Peter…I didn't know. Forgive me…"
"I do, Tèa…" Once he calms down however, his next question catches her totally off-guard as he looks up at her. "C..can I…kiss you…?"
"Uh! Lieutenant!"
"Sorry!" They both quickly blush. But then she just laughs.
"Come on. Let's go finish our coffee."
"Okay." And after the drinks… "Look, I'm sorry about asking you that, Tèa."
"No, no, it's fine." she smiles. "Just one of those moments, you know? I understand. No harm done."
He smiles back at her. "Let's head back-Oh!" He and Tèa suddenly get a call about a creature attacking a mother and daughter not too far from the station.
'Creature…Oh no…' "We have to hurry."
"Right." They both quickly head to the squad car and get in. "You ready for your first mission?"
"I'm more than ready!" 'But this is no ordinary mission…'
"Let's go!" They both drive off into the night.
'I hope we're not too late…'
And when they arrive…
A familiar figure is still scaring the innocent family. Peter gets out and aims his gun. "Hands up, freak!"
"And turn around slowly!" Tèa chimes in, weapon also raised. But when he does, it's none other than… "Yami!!"
Authoress' Note: Ooh, what an interesting turn of events, huh? Originally, I was going to stop where they drove away, but I figured hey, I've kept you in suspense long enough, let's do just a bit more. You think with me being bored so often, I'd be able to post more often, too. Well, not when it's mixed in with writer's block. I'll tell ya, it's just not fun. But I WILL try to post often again from now on as I'd planned.
So what exactly happened to him? And can everyone be saved? Find out in the next chapter!
