CHAPTER SIX
The park was filled with people. It seemed as though most detectives had brought along members of their families. Kids everywhere. As she approached the BBQ area, she spotted her co-workers.
"Here comes Rush", Jeffries pointed as she approached. The other detectives turned around to look.
Scotty gave a giggle that she immediately took offense to. "And what exactly are you laughing at Valens?"
"Your legs. They're just so……"
"So what?", she asked looking displeased with her hands on her waist.
"So white", he replied, still giggling. Lily shot him an evil look.
"Okay, okay. Enough", Stillman scolded.
A detective with a microphone quickly drew away there attention. "Okay everyone. Thanks for coming today. Please keep in mind that this is a FRIENDLY game of football. There is no order to the teams. They have been chosen at random. Team A is as follows: Smith, Johnson, Jeffries, Davis, Cook, Downer, Stillman, Valens, Gregory and Matthews. Team B is as follows: Lawton, Peterson, Vera, Coleman, Jones, Kellman, Nicholls, Jules, Rofe and Rush. Please come and grab your team colours from the mc station".
The detectives began heading over. Valens fell in line behind Lily. He grabbed her shoulder and whispered into her ear teasingly "You know I heard you rang Vera this morning to try and get out of the game today".
She swung around "I don't know where you heard that Valens. I merely rang him to find out if the game was still on or not."
"Right," he stated, obviously not believing her.
She turned back around to grab her jersey "B team jersey please," flicking it over her shoulder and brushing Scotty's face with it.
"See you on the field Valens."
