Chapter 4- Confessional at Lunchtime
Paul's Williams apartment at 3 pm
"Hi, did you get lost" Paul said as Julia entered his apartment.
"No" Julia said she was nervous.
"Well I made some ham and cheese sandwiches with everyone on it, got some potato chips and diet Pepsi" Paul said as him and Julia took a seat.
"Great' Julia said as they started to eat.
"So what kind of partner is Wes" Paul asked.
"Wes he's great, very loyal, we definitely fill what the other one is lacking in terms of investigating" Julia said.
"Anything else" Paul asked taking a bite from his sandwich.
"Wes is also happily married with a one year old" Julia said laughing.
"Just asking, Ashley thought you two weren't together" Paul said.
"How is she" Julia asked much to Paul's surprise.
"She's great, understanding, sweet, her daughter Abby is adorable" Paul said.
"Great" Julia said.
"How's Christine" she asked.
"She's fine from what I know I heard she is seeing Danny" Paul said.
"Wow, it's funny how things can just change" Julia said finishing her sandwich.
"I know" Paul said, he looked up at Julia who was visibly nervous.
"Julia I called your job a few days ago, you told them you were sick, now I find you at Genoa City with your partner, can I ask what is going on?" Paul asked.
Julia sighed she takes out her badge and hands it to Paul.
"Ok all I see is your badge" Paul said.
"Read it" Julia said.
"Detective Julia Elizabeth Thompson, narcotics division" Paul said reading, his eyes pop up.
"Narcotics do you know how dangerous that division is in Genoa City, South Beach its ten times dangerous" Paul said angrily.
"Of course I know that I'm good at it, Wes and I are the youngest people on the force and we solve the most cases I think that's an accomplishment" Julia said.
"Why didn't you tell me this sooner you've been lying to me for months" Paul said.
"I'm sorry" Julia said.
"Why the deception?" Paul said.
"Because every time you call you say how I'm still the little girl who used to do ballet. I'm not a little girl anymore" Julia said.
"So you do this to punish me" Paul said.
"No" Julia began to say she stopped.
"I'm sorry" she said tearing up.
"So I assume whatever you and your partner are doing here Miami doesn't know about" Paul said angrily.
"No" Julia said
Ashley is walking to Paul's door hearing the conversation from outside.
"Are you out of your mind" Paul said.
"Why?" he asked.
"I can't tell you yet" Julia said.
"What" Paul exclaimed.
"Look I don't want to betray Wes if he wants you to know he'll tell you" Julia said getting her coat and purse.
"This isn't the movies young lady" Paul said.
"I know that" Julia said angrily, she opens the door to find Ashley there.
"Excuse me" she said pushing pass her walking to the elevator.
Paul slams his hand on the desk. "Whoa calm down" Ashley said closing the door.
"Don't believe this" Paul said.
"What happened" Ashley said as they sat on the couch.
"Julia is a narcotics detective" Paul said.
"Wow, she's so young" Ashley said.
"Too young, that division is the most dangerous in South Beach, why on earth would want to work there" Paul said.
"So she's been a narcotics detective not investigating financial crimes Paul nods it looks like you're more mad about her keeping it from her than what she actually does but I have a few reasons why she probably did. You see her as a little girl, Paul she's 23 it looks like she has her head on straight, she's tough I mean to take on both Tom and Sam and she doesn't even know them, you need to take her more seriously" Ashley said.
Paul shook his head he leans on Ashley's shoulder.
