For all the chapters of my story, I do not own the characters, they are the property of Dick Wolf.
I chose to publish the story in my mother tongue French and in the language of the country of origin of the TV show in English!
It was past midnight, Mike was still in the office. Difficult for him to do something else. He was overcome with regret at not having confessed his feelings to Connie.
Now she had gone to join her family, her mother had a stroke, and since Connie is the only one of her siblings to have no children and companions she is better able to take care of them.
When she received this call they left the reception for Lieutenant Van Buren, all went well between them, despite the presence of colleagues and friends they remained in their bubble to speak for once freely of their life.
The next day Jack warned him that Connie had left in the night on LA They did not know for how long.
Mike was there playing with his phone, touching the button to call Connie, how will she take that call?
He remembers his discussion with Jack, the need to replace Connie, it's true that as long as her family needs her, Connie will not leave LA
"Mike, I'm going to put Casey Novak as an assistant for Connie's absence, hard to find someone to work with you
- Funny, but I can handle the time of Connie's absence, trainees are able to do the necessary research
- And who will take care of the indictments, to follow the other files ...
- Do not worry, this will be temporary »
He threw himself on the key of calls, during the tone his heart tapped hard in his chest. But this is not the first he calls Connie, but that's different.
"Yes Connie Rubirosa
- Good evening Connie, I came to take news of your mom and ... From you
- Thanks Mike, my mother is still in the hospital, it gives me time to see for home helpers when she comes out. And of ... well, I have not had Jack yet, but Mike ... I will stay on LA. My mother will not be able to live alone for a moment and
- You will not come back to New York? ... I understand, I have to leave you
- Mike ... »
He was hurting, so badly, if I had told him my feelings, if only now it's too late she's gone.
