Summary: He loved his job. That was the simple thing.
Author's Note: Sweet and short. I just started writing and this came out of it.

He loved his job. That was the simple thing. He just wished he didn't have it. Contradictory, he supposed, but it made sense in his head. It was one thing to sit in his cozy lab chair and just compare DNA samples. That was safe. That was indoors. There was nothing personal in his work. If the person matched, they matched. If that was a good thing, so be it. If it was a bad thing, so be it too. He was impartial.

So he thought he was. No, no. Of course, his regular self just had to go the extra mile. He had to be over-achieving AS USUAL. Didn't his parents warn him against this? Or did they applaud it? He had gotten so many mixed reviews since then that he just didn't remember anymore.

But what he really wanted to know is if he was so eager to go that extra mile, did it have to be becoming a CSI? Did he really want to see those gruesome bodies? The guilty faces that went along with them? The sordid secrets that humans are just bound to hide? To discover what it really is to mean "killing" someone?

No.

Never.

Not one ounce of desire.

Yet, it's just what he did. He went that extra mile. He took that courageous step. And did he regret? Not really. No. He loved his job. Plain and simple.

Now if only people stopped killing for the strangest reason. Wouldn't that be the day?

...Then again, he'd be out of a job.
