The room was brightened as a phone rang on the side table.
"That's not mine." He groaned, propping himself up as he checked the clock on the bedside table. "It's 5am."
She reached over, grabbing the phone. "Yes?"
There was mumbling over the speaker, followed by a sigh from the girl.
"Yeah, yeah I'm on my way there."
More mumbling.
"Give me a half hour." She dropped the phone down onto the bed.
"What's going on?"
"Opening manager didn't show up at the store. There's no one there to receive the shipment." She pulled the blankets back, kicking her feet over the side.
"So you're going to the store?" He asked, laying back down.
"I have to, that shipment is a majority of the orders for the upcoming week." She pulled on her pants. "That's a lot of unhappy customers if I don't get there."
"It's 5 am, you sure you don't want me to go with you?" He offered.
"It's only a few minutes away, I'll be fine."
"Most of my cases sound like that." He kicked his feet over the side of the bed.
"You coming with me?" She asked, grabbing a sweater off of the chair and pulling it on.
"Isn't that mine?" He pulled sweats out of the closet.
She smiled, picking up her phone.
"What delivery guy in New York waits?"
"One that exclusively picks up from customs for us. One that gets a bonus every 6 months."
"So you bribe him?"
She smiled, "Unofficially, Mr ADA."
"I work sex crimes, not retail."
He grabbed his wallet off of the bedside table and walked out the door.
She followed behind him.
