CLARKE'S POV
"Hey, babe I'm home" I walked into the mansion and put the groceries bag on the counter.
"Hey, how was your day?" She leaned in to give me a kiss. I sigh as she grabs two glasses from the top of the shelves.
"Worst day ever! We have a new case regarding gang members and let me tell you this is the worst one I've ever had I explain as I pour myself some cognac. I sit down on the counter while she's putting the groceries in the fridge.
"Again? I thought you guys caught the leader last week!?" I take a sip from my glass and chuckle coldly.
"Apparently not. The guy that Nylah interrogated was the partner and we didn't know about it. All this time he pretended to be the one making the drugs and selling them. How don't we even know how he managed to make up this story without us realizing that!" I explain. She closes the fridge before she grabs her glass and takes a sip.
"At least now you guys know you got the wrong guy" she smiles softly and I nod, finishing my drink.
"Yea...i guess so" I mumble before I smile widely.
"Ok, enough about my case...how was the opening of the Club?" She grins.
"Well, everything was pretty great actually. Luna and Anya took care of the bar because they didn't trust anyone else to make the drinks. She rolls her eyes and I laugh.
"Why am i not surprised! They love making drinks."
"And I had to do some interviews, which some of them were so bad. So thank god Costia took care of the rest because i was about to explode" she groans.
"At least you got good people and good friends with you." She nods before giving me a kiss.
"Yea, indeed...i just wished that Raven and Anya would've stopped arguing and being cold with each other" i frown before i jump off the counter. I reach for the cutting board to start prepping the diner.
"It's still going on. I thought they were back being friends or God knows what" she hands me the onion.
"You know after Raven's accident, she hasn't been the same. I mean, she's always running late to our gatherings, skipped her therapy meeting many times and barely sleeps because she's too busy partying" she rolls her eyes at the end.
"Yea, it's sad" Raven was a good girl; always took care of one of us. She was a strong woman. But after the car accident, where she lost the mobility of her right hand and leg, she changed.
"Yea, tell me about it" she sighs before we spent the rest of the night cooking, eating and drinking some wine. It was already 11h30pm and I was getting tired. Tomorrow I have to wake up super early. I took a shower and when i was done i put on some lotion. I grab a long tee to put on. Once I get on the bed, I wrap my arms around her body.
"Good night, love you" I kissed her temple.
"G'night, love you too" and we fell asleep.
Lexa was already out of the house, probably went to the gym with her sisters and Luna. I grab my gun and badge before I walk out of the house. When I arrived at work, Nylah saw me and smiled before she handed me a coffee.
"Hey, here's your coffee" I grab it and take a sip before I let out a moan.
"You know you could have kept that sound when you're in bed" Octavia smirks as she walks in. Her and Nylah laugh. I glared at them.
"You guys are unbelievable" I rolled my eyes, hiding my smile. We make our way to my office.
"Any leads about the suspect? I ask as I drop my keys and bag on the small table beside my desk. Octavia nods before she opens the files and places some of the pictures on the middle table.
"We have a witness who came to us after you left last night" she informs.Nylah nods as she pulls out more pictures.
"Her name is Echo and apparently she's been dealing with them for a long time. She gathered all the proof to prove that this man " she points to the picture, "he's our guy" she explains.
"How can I be so sure that she's telling the truth and she just wasn't high on god knows what" I ask as I look at the picture. Octavia looked at Nylah before they both turned to look at me.
"Erm...well ok, before you freak out, hear us out" Octavia rambles. I stop looking at the pictures before I raise my head to look at them . I raise my eyebrow.
"Why do i have a feeling that it's something i'm not like?" I groan.
"Because...that woman knows one of us and she has also been on witness protection for more than a year" Nylah let out and I frowned.
"Know what of us? She doesn't ring a bell to me" Octavia rubs her forehead.
"Then ask Lexa" she blurts out.
"What do you mean, ask Lexa!" I exclaim.
"She's Lexa's older sister and I guess she never told you about her. Or the fact that except Anya and Luna never talk about her" she sighs.
"No, she never mentioned that name to me. But if you're saying that she's on witness protection ,why did she come all the way here? To a police station! Someone could've seen her I say coldly.
"I don't know what to tell you Clarke but you can interrogate her right now. She's still in the interrogation room" Nylah spoke. I sigh.
"Alright Nylah ,follow me….Octavia,i want you and the rest of the team to go to his house and find him." She nods before she walks into the room. As we made our way to the interrogation room, Nylah spoke.
"Are you ok"
"I don't want to talk about this, please" I groaned as we walked into the room.
"Hello, Miss. I'm detective Nylah and this is my partner- "
"Clarke Griffin" The witness, Echo, was her name, interrupted with a soft smile. I stare at her and she does look like Lexa.
"Listen, I don't know you so let's keep this professional and call me Detective Griffin" I say tiredly as I open the files. She leans against the table and looks at me.
"Tough girl just like my sister describes" I stop going through the files, trying to hold back my anger. Before I could say something, Nylah jumped in, giving me a look.
"Let's get this over with, please"
20minutes later
"He always hangs out at the SOLO .And he's never by himself" Echo explained. I roll my eyes.
"I'm gonna need more of that. That doesn't prove that he's also dealer at this Club"
"How about you do your job and go see for yourself. Then maybe after you'll believe me" she retorts and I clench my fist.
"Ok,that's enough. We will take it from there. Thank you. You're free to go"Nylah let out. Echo stands up and stops at the door.
"See you later Clarke" she smirks and walks out the door.
"No wonder Lexa never told you about that one" Nylah chuckles.
"She's the same version as Anya when I first met her but worst '' I say and she chuckles. She grabs the files.
"You want me to go undercover at the Club tonight and see if what she's saying is true?" I sigh and nod.
"Yes please...the sooner the better"
