Luigi's Pizzeria was a small dive restaurant two blocks from Carolyn's apartment and it served the best pizza in New York, or so said the sign over the kitchen. After Carolyn had gotten Mike to try pizza from here, he'd been hooked. One problem was, Carolyn liked her pizza with mushrooms and Mike hated them. Yet, here he was eating mushroom pizza for this woman all because he'd done something reckless.
"CSU didn't find any bloody clothes, but they found the prepaid cell phone," Carolyn said, looking through the file on the search of Amelia's apartment, "Has her prints and then with the pictures in the trash can Carver will have an easy time getting remand."
"Sounds like a reason to celebrate to me," Mike said.
"Yeah, now I just need a new wardrobe, better locks on my door and some paint."
"You need help? I wield a pretty mean paintbrush."
"Trying to make up for being an idiot today?"
Mike grinned sheepishly, "How many times you gonna make me apologize for that?"
"Until you won't do it again. We're partners Mike, and that means if you're in a dangerous, so am I, okay?"
"Aye, aye, detective." He saluted and she rolled her eyes.
"Just show up at 11 this Sunday, and be ready for dinner with my parents afterwards." Mike nearly choked on his beer. Carolyn smiled evilly at him, "You're gonna pay for today, Mike and you're gonna pay big."
