Chapter 4

The bell rings for dismissal. Dani packs up her books and steps out of the classroom. She grabs her book bag out of her locker and waits for Emma. They both walk together heading back home.
"I feel pretty confident about passing every class except for French. I should have taken Spanish instead," says Emma. "You would have been a great asset in that class."
Dani chuckles. "Si, yo te hubiera ayudado mucho. But, we get to suffer together."
"That sounds lovely," Emma replies. They eventually arrive at Dani's place. "You have arrived at your destination, my friend."
They both hug and Dani enters the building. She leaves her bookbag on the couch while she fetches a quick snack. As promised, she dialed Emily.
"Hey Honey, how was your day?" Emily asked.
"It was good. Feels great to be back in prison," Dani murmurs.
Emily chuckles. "Did you eat something?"
"Yes. These potato chips should do the trick."
"No. I meant actual food. Real food." Emily says, bringing out her motherly side.
"Well, I consider food anything that you can eat and drink as long as your stomach can digest it."
"You smarty pants," Emily responds smiling. She loves Dani's humor. It makes her work time fly by. "I will be out in two hours. Finish any homework you have so we can eat dinner together. Esta Bien?"
"Si, Si. Don't worry."
"Okay, see you later."
"Bye."

Emily and the rest of the team finish their paperwork for the day. They all packed up and said their goodbyes. Emily starts her car and heads home.
She arrives and opens the door. She takes off her shoes and hangs her coat. She walks towards the living room where she sees Dani cleaning her guitar while listening to music.
"Hey, you. What are you doing?" Emily asks, taking a seat on the couch.
"Cleaning this up. How was work?" Dani says, placing the guitar back to its stand.
"Quiet and calm, which is rare. Lots of paperwork though."
"Eww. Your job has two opposite ends. Either you travel and don't have time to sit to find the killer or you stay in your office and all you do is sit."
"The life of an agent," Emily says winking at Dani. "So, Dinner?" The agent gets up and Dani is following behind her. They agreed on pasta so they got everything ready. When they were done cooking, Emily took out two plates while Dani got the cups. They both sat down and started to eat.
"So, how are your classes? Any interesting one?" Emily asked.
"They look good for the most part. Except for French. Emma was right, I should have taken Spanish."
"What do you mean? You already know Spanish," Emily says, taking a sip of water.
"Exactly. I would have crushed it," said Dani.
"Well, if you need any help in that class, I would be glad to," Emily tells her.
"Oh yeah. I forgot that you speak French! How much would you charge per assignment?" Giving Emily a smirk.
Emily gives a small chuckle. "In your dreams."
"Aww. C'mon agent, there has to be something I can bribe you with," she said with her brows raised.
"Nope. Not with me. Sorry, sweetie."
Dani frowns. "I ain't giving up so easily. I will find your weakness," Dani said with determination. Emily chuckles.
The two of them finished eating and were cleaning up.
"I got a call today from Ms. Jones. She wants to meet up with us to check-in," Emily says, washing the dishes.
"Oh great. She is probably going to ask me a whole bunch of questions," Dani responds rolling her eyes. She never liked the social workers she had. Dani believed that they were two-faced people. This thought was because of personal experience.
"I know it gets tiring, but just hang in there," Emily says, giving her a hopeful smile.
They both get ready for bed. Emily is finishing brushing her teeth while Dani is preparing her stuff for school. Emily enters Dani's room. Dani is wearing an oversized shirt with pajama shorts. Dani hated wearing pants when she sleeps.
"You ready to sleep?" Emily questions
"Yep. I don't feel like going to school in a zombie state."
"I agree with that," Emily says. She walks towards Dani and gives her a small kiss on her temple. "Goodnight, love."
"Goodnight, Em."
