Thanks everyone who gave comments! Keep it up!
Lucy looked over at the clock and saw that it was almost one o'clock. She looked back at the guy who was sprawled out on the bed half asleep.
"I'm going," Lucy said and got a mumble from him. She slipped out of bed and pulled her clothes on. She reached for the door but a hand stopped her.
"Am I going to see you again?" Kevin asked her and she bit her lip. "No."
"Then will you at least tell me your name?"
"It's Lucy. Bye, oh and um, thanks for tonight." Lucy pulled the door open and snuck out to her car. She drove silently into the night and back to her house. After parking the car, she slowly opened the back door and quietly closed it behind her. She looked around the dark kitchen and let out a sigh of relief when she saw that she was alone the room. Lucy tip toed to the stairs but stopped when she heard a voice.
"Not so fast Lucy." She heard Mary say and she froze for an instant at the sound of a voice and then whirled around and looked through the cloud of dark at her sister. "What?" Lucy hissed. "Where have you been for the last six hours?" Mary asked with anger in her voice. "None of your damn business." Lucy replied and stalked upstairs. Lucy threw herself into bed after stripping off her clothes and pulled the covers up over her. She closed her eyes and tried to sleep, but despite all of the problems that she was having with Mary, she couldn't stop thinking about that guy, what was his name....Kevin, yeah, Kevin. She didn't know a thing about him, but he filled her head and didn't plan on leaving any time soon. Lucy tossed and turned before she finally fell into a restless sleep. The sun filled Lucy's room and shined on her bed where she lay still half asleep. She rolled over towards the wall and moaned. "Too early" She uttered and pulled the blanket over her head. "Rise and shine." Mary's cheery voice echoed through the room. Lucy grunted. "I thought we weren't talking" "Luce" Mary said sitting down on the end of her sister's bed. "I don't want to ruin our relationship."
"Then break up with my jerk ex-boyfriend." "Please Lucy, don't make me chose." Mary begged and Lucy stared at her sister in disbelief.
"Oh. My. God." Lucy threw the covers off and stormed into the closet to pull on her robe. "I cannot believe that you would actually pick him over me, your sister!"
"Luce, come on, you know that I love you, it's just that well, I really, really love him and I hope you won't get in the way of that." "Just keep digging your self deeper." Lucy murmured and threw her hair into a sloppy bun. "Luce." Mary pleaded.
"Don't you have some more backstabbing that you could do?" "This isn't a time to be stubborn!"
"Then what is it a time for, it certainly isn't a time to be happy, because I'm not." Her throat welled up with tears. "It hurts me that you would do this and then put him before me. I can be as stubborn as I damn well please." Lucy paused as she stared at her sister. "I thought I knew you Mary." She said and walked out. Lucy entered the kitchen and found her father sitting at the table.
"Hey Luce, got home pretty late last night." he commented and took a bite of his cereal.
"Yeah, I went shopping and completely lost track of time." Lucy lied and took a seat across from him. "Listen, I need your help with something. I know that you're not an official minister yet, but..."
"But...?" Lucy asked hopefully.
"But I have this assignment, I'll be working with a cop on this case and I need you to help out too."
"That sounds great, what's the assignment about?" "There's a woman on the other side of town and the police station has been getting reports that her boyfriend has been hitting her. But every time the go over there they can't prove it and so I went to her house yesterday and she wouldn't talk to me. She looked uncomfortable around me and I think that men make her uneasy." He sighed and scratched his head. "That's why I need you to talk to her. The cop, officer Kinkirk, is the man that you'll be working with. He will be staking out at the house and you'll be with him to talk to her if any think should happen."
"Wow" Lucy exhaled hard. "That's a lot of information, but it sounds good so why not? I'll do it."
"Great Luce, I knew that I could count on you."Eric stood up and placed a hand on Lucy's shoulder. "Thanks Lucy, I usually don't ask for help but...it seems that you would be perfect for this."
"Ok, dad." Lucy smiled and he walked away. "Oh and your starting the stake out today!" he called to her and she groaned. "Today!" She sighed and trudged up the stairs after him. Lucy walked up the police office steps in her light pink velour sweat suit and pulled the door open. She walked over to the desk that detective Michaels was sitting at and smiled at him.
"Lucy, good to see you. You're helping out your dad on the stake out, right?" He said standing up and looking around for someone.
"Yeah, my dad should be coming." Lucy replied and almost on cue, Eric walked in and waved as he made his way over to them. "Hello detective" Eric said and the men shook hands.
"I'm glad that you guys are helping us out on this case--" Detective Michaels started and then stopped when another officer approached them. "This is officer Kinkirk; he'll be driving around the cruiser with Lucy." Lucy turned around and her jaw dropped. Please reply!
