"Aden?" Finn asked confused out if his wits. "What are you doing here?"
Commissioner Hadee looked around awkwardly. "It seems like you know each other."
Finn came back down to earth for a moment,"Yeah... I-I mean we knew each other n-not really recently."
"Okay. Well, I'm going to take my leave then, I'm sure you will straighten everything out." Commissioner Hadee turned on her heels and walked out of the room.
"It's actually Dr. Aden Montgomery of forensic science to you, Onyx. I earned that title and I wish to be called by it."
"Seems a little wordy if you ask me..."
"You know what I meant. Dr. Aden, please."
Onyx rocked on his feet and clapped once,"Okay! Sounds great! Hey, have you been shown around?"
Aden raised her eyebrow. "Not yet, I believe that would be your job, sir. "
With a huff, Finn pointed to the door with his thumbs,"Shall we then?" He ushered for Aden to walk out before himself. "Ladies first."
"Ah, you were always so polite, Onyx- I mean Commissioner Onyx."
I snickered,"Mmm, yes. Manners."
Aden Montgomery, I haven't seen you in eight years and you still have that sarcastic, preppy- 'better than everyone' else attitude. I wouldn't be surprised if you quit in a month.
"This is my secretary, Miss Kay Maddox. She's been here with us for about two months now." Finn put out his hand to Kay, who was sitting at her desk.
"Nice to meet you," Kay smiled but was immediately interrupted by a phone call," Sorry, I gotta take this. I'll catch up with you both later. "
Aden turns to Finn and commented. "The police station has always had a female secretary, even when your father was Commissioner. "
"Yes. It was Mrs. Shirley when I was a child, Misty for about two years, until she married Victor. Kay, now. I went without a secretary for about two years up until recent." Finn explained.
Aden blinked a couple times, "Misty married Victor?"
Who's Victor? How does this lady know so much about Onyx? Kay thought.
"Yes. They've been married for a little bit now. I haven't seen him as-of-late but we go golfing every now and then. Last I heard, they are trying to have a baby. "
"I see. So he isn't Detective Victor Gordon anymore?"
Kay was too busy eves-dropping to pay attention to the phone call.
"No," Finn chuckled,"Just good buddy Victor. Misty had a hand in his early retirement and they run an ice cream parlor downtown."
"An ice cream shoppe? I never would've seen that in his future!" Aden laughed," We have a lot to catch up on."
Kay peered over the desk at the two chatting, feeling a little flustered.
"I'm sure you'll hear it all eventually." Finn noticed Kay's eyes. "Let's leave our poor secretary to her work, sorry for being rude Miss Kay."
"Oh! It's fine, sir! I'm never bothered by you." Glimmered the secretary.
Aden took note of Kay's attitude and smiled.
"Should we move on?" Finn gestured, leading the way.
They walked through the cafeteria, the bathrooms and shower stalls, the Armory, the garage, the processing/ evidence offices, holding cells, the interviewing rooms, the detective's office, lockers, storage closets and finally the forensic processing office.
"And here is your seat." Finn ran over to the comfy chair at the desk and took a seat spinning around.
"Wow, the station is a lot bigger than I remember." Aden beamed.
"You haven't seen it since we were kids, well high schoolers. Dad did a lot of work to the place before he passed."
Aden half-smiled, tilting her head a little," We were just kids."
Onyx and Aden stared at each other for a moment, he looked away blushing a little. "So, you coming back tomorrow?"
"Haha, yeah. I'll come back tomorrow." She leaned against the door frame.
"First day on the job. Bright and early. Seven in the morning.
"I'll make sure I have my coffee. " She went to turn around and leave.
"Yeah, you and me both. " Finn caught up with her. "Who's coming to pick you up?"
They started walking towards the front door.
"Oh, my boyfriend actually. I moved back here from Canada because of him."
"That's funny that your boyfriend is here in your hometown. I thought you were never coming back. "
"Yeah... That was the plan. But, plans change. I have met the love of my life and now we are together at home. "
"What's their name? Maybe I know them?"
"Oh, Ivan. Ivan Stock."
"You're actually kidding. Literally?" Finn gawked.
"No," Squealed Aden excitedly," He's just the best!"
Onyx noticed the door to Kay and his office open. "Yeah. Well that's great for you. Would you excuse me?"
He can't see her. I won't let him.
"Yeah, he's just about here anyways," she looked at her wrist watch.
Finn was already gone, bolting across the room.
Aden stared outside until she heard a car's horn. She took one last glance of Onyx before leaving.
