Chapter 5 : Where is Lil ?
At the same time the other agents were working on the case, Lilly was slowly waking at her apartment; she got up and went to the bathroom to take a long hot shower.
2O minutes later, she was back in her bedroom to dress herself. She chose black pants and a white shirt, almost the same outfit she was wearing everyday at work.
She checked her voice mail before leaving home; she had two messages, both from Stillman who was wondering where the hell she was. Maybe she should have warned she'd be late, but she'd be joining them at the police station in two hours, after the doctor's appointment she had at 10:30. It was just routine but she didn't like telling about things so personal or that may suggest she was as weak as everyone.
Back at the station:
-It's nearly 11:00 and Lil hasn't showed up yet; where the hell is she? Stillman kept repeating that throughout the station, maybe thinking she'd be coming faster that way.
-We got 20 kids death, including her supposed child and that's the day she chooses for being late, she's got to have a good reason and not something like "I didn't hear the alarm-clock this morning"! This time it was Vera who was complaining.
In the middle of them, Scotty was thinking; if she was sick she'd have taken the day off, another explanation was that something happened, but she was more likely to have forgotten to warn them she'd late due to some kind of appointment.
She finally showed up around noon, when no one was expecting her anymore.
-What've we got today? She asked
Her colleagues were trying to figure how to tell her. It was Stillman who reacted first.
-Lilly, would you come to my office?
She followed him inside.
-Why do we need to go here?
-The case we're working on has some kind of connection with you, we think.
He gave her the manila folder and her face turned white as she read what was written; Stillman nearly thought she was going to collapse.
This chapter was maybe longer than the others but I've waited a long time to write it. I don't know yet how I'll continue the story but if you have any boys/girls name you like, please just send it (I don't know yet if I'll use them in this fic vut it can be useful and don't forget: r&r).
