Ascending into darkness
Chapter 22nd
Arriving down stairs to their offices for Internal Affairs, Lt. Stevens had walked in first into his own office with the other two following. He sat down slamming the file onto his desk. "I swear Captain Kate Beckett can be a real pain in the ass!" He stated with a cough of his throat.
"I agree Robert, however she is only trying to do her job with protecting her officers. And besides this case purely cut and dry with our decisions. Sergeant Esposito was simply defending himself." Lt. Kindred stated with pulling up a seat in front of his desk.
"True Jack. However we still need to follow up with the last of the questions in the morning before closing the file on the shooting. I don't need to have the Police Commissioner, Governor and the Mayor on our cases just because we might of not done our job properly. It's bad enough the press is going to have a field day once they find out about the true." Lt. Stevens place a hand through his brown hair as a sign of being tired.
"Maybe not at this time. Don't forget Captain Beckett wants to continue on with the news blackout?" Lt. Kindred says with his hands folded on his lap.
"Let's just hope we will be able to have them steer clear of what exactly has been going on. I do know that Captain Beckett's department will be working hard to keep it that way for the most part." Lt. Stevens responded with both officers agreeing.

Sergeant Javier Esposito was told to go on home with coming back to work in the morning. It was going to give him the chance to get some sleep after the past few days. Stopping by at a deli getting sandwiches for himself and Sung Lee along with Coffee and Tea. He had placed the two bags on the side of him in his car while moving into the parking lot of his apartment complex. He had called his wife deciding to stay home awaiting for her husband.
She was extremely worried for him since, he's always had a strong personality. And now it felt like his persona ws losing ground needing to recharge himself with this madness of the shooting.
She was sitting in the spacious living area working on the laptop keeping her mind busy until she heard the front door opening. It had to be her husband or else she would be on the defensive with someone trying to break it. She waited a moment before hearing Javier's voice. She felt much better with placing the laptop onto the glass coffee table with closing the top down. "Are you alright Javi?" She asked with getting up to help him with his grey jacket, gloves and cap, while placing them into the small closet near the entrance of the front door.
"Exhausted, Sung Lee, I have to come back in the morning with Internal Affairs having some more questions." He said with Sung Lee taking the two bags from him.
"What more is to be asked about the shooting? When in fact Darcy was going to kill you first. It was surely self defense with your partner Ryan confirming it with being on the scene." She pulls out the Tea first before the coffee container.
"I realize that Sung Lee!" He emotionally exploded with taking the other bag to open it with pulling out the sandwiches. "Here, this one is yours." He said with handing her the chicken sandwiches filled with tomatoes, Lettuce, Mayo, Salt & pepper.
"Thank you, however Javi, please don't take out your frustration on me" She exclaimed with annoyance in her voice.
"I will try. Come on let's eat, I need to get some sleep before tomorrow's questioning Sung Lee." He began working on his Chicken Cutlet and Tea, while Sung Lee was drinking the coffee.
After they had finished with their food. Esposito asked his wife to join him in the bedroom making it easier for him to fall asleep with his wife by his side. "I will be there in a few moments Javi, why don't you change into your pajamas and relax." She replied with a smile trying to hide her upsetting nature for her husband.
"Very well Sung Lee, I will head into the bedroom for now and change." He said with moving his tired body towards the bedroom.
