It never rains, it pours
He had been sitting in the park for over three hours by now, just thinking about her. Dark clouds had started rolling in an hour ago and now a slight drizzle was making his shirt damp. The streetlamps fluttered on after another half an hour and lit up the park in a soft yellow glow. The glow turned gloomy when the dark, heavy clouds above decided to add more to his misery and opened up to pour every ounce of water they had on him. He stood up and looked up at the sky, thinking "what if she was abducted by aliens?" He shook his head. Grandma Mazur must have infected his brains, he wasn't thinking clearly. He let the rain fall on his lifted face and stood silently absorbed in memories.
When
it rains I don't mind
Let me stand here all night
Did she
take her own life
Let me know she's alright
And
every time it rains
I feel her holding me
And everytime it
rains
Are the angels crying
Her arms around his neck, her moans as he kissed her. Her habit of causing havoc wherever she went. All the cars she had destroyed. He missed her telephone calls when she had stumbled across a crime scene and wanted him to be there. He missed the bets on when and how her next car would blow up into pieces. Suddenly he felt a presence at his side. He opened one eye spotted a black clad figure in the rain. He had almost hoped it would be her. He opened the other eye and turned to the black figure. The rain pounded heavily on the ground and on his head and shoulders. The outline of the figure was slightly dizzy because of the rain, but he had no doubt who it was. He acknowledged the figures presence with a nod then turned back to the sky.
"Anything?" His voice was hoarse from the lack of use and being out in the rain didn't make things better.
"Nothing" The black figure answered. "I have Tank checking all hospitals in the state, but so far nothing."
He nodded. Good it was raining, he didn't want to show he was crying, especially not to Mañoso.
"Mind if I join?"
He shook his head. Even though he and Mañoso had not exactly been best friends he could do with company, and Mañoso probably felt the same way he was feeling right now.

He found Morelli standing in the rain looking up at the sky. He understood, he also wanted to stand like that, but he couldn't. Someway he couldn't. He always felt he hadn't done enough, that there were more things he could do to find her. The rain was trickling down his neck and soaking his sweater.
Morelli opened one eye and gazed at him through the rain, then he opened the other eye end looked at him. He could see all the sorrow and regret pouring from those eyes, and he knew he would look the same if he didn't control himself. Morelli nodded slightly and turned his face back to the sky and asked. "Anything?" to which the reply was "Nothing."
But he felt he couldn't let it be at that so he added "I have Tank checking all hospitals in the state, but so far nothing." At this he got another nod from Morelli, this was killing him. God this was killing everybody that had known her, including him. He looked at Morelli for some seconds, then back at his car. His feelings were ripping him into pieces. To hell with everything! He thought.
"Mind if I join?"
Morelli shook his head. Both of them could do with company. And he turned his face up to the darkened sky and let the water empty his mind as it hit his face.
Me
quedo firme, ¡ya multa
Continuar con mi vida
Sigo
mirando al cielo
Orar por la lluvia, todo el tiempo
I'll
stay strong, I'll be fine
Carry on with my life
I still stare
at the sky
Pray for rain, all the time
He remembered the stolen kisses in the alley at the office. He remembered her sparkling blue eyes so filled with worry when she had handed him the serialnumber and registration plates of the Mercedes that had gotten stolen. He almost smiled when he remembered the Porsche and the garbage truck and when she said it wasn't her fault. It was never her fault. And that time Tank had broken his leg working with her, or Cal's concussion. His smile disappeared. Now she was gone and nobody knew anything. Nobody had seen anything or heard anything from her. Two weeks ago she had made herself ready to go to the office in the morning, gotten into Big Blue and then disappeared from the surface of the earth along with the car. He knew Big Blue wasn't hard to miss, but no one had seen the car that morning. No one had seen her leaving neither her apartment nor the parking lot. She had just vanished. Poof! Had she run away? Or had se been kidnapped? Or abducted by aliens, as grandma Mazur said?
Why'd
you run? Did you hide
Why'd you leave, no good bye
When the
clouds, take the sky
Does a soul, give you life?
He looked over at Morelli. How long had he been standing there? Over three hours at least. He closed the distance between them and laid a hand on Morelli's shoulder. Morelli didn't move but said quietly.
"Every time it rains I can feel her holding me."
And
every time it rains
I feel her holding me
And everytime it
rains
Are the angels crying
And
every time it rains
I feel her holding me
And everytime it
rains
All the angels cry for me
"We should go." He said and Morelli turned away from the sky.
"You're right."
They both made their way to their cars. Morelli got into his SUV and Ranger got into his Hummer. They looked at each other through the rain and the windshield, both thinking exactly what the other one was thinking.
I'll never be the
same
I'll never be the same
be the same
be the same
be
the same
oooooooooo0000000000oooooooooo0000000000oooooooooo0000000000oooooooooo
Morelli turned the key and angled out of the parking lot. He looked in the rear view mirror and saw Mañoso following him. When they drove past Haywood Ranger flashed his light and then disappeared. Batman goes home to his batcave, Morelli thought and drove on autopilot. When he stopped he realized were he was, in whose parking lot he was. He hadn't intended to go there, but somehow he had still ended up here. He looked up at her apartment's dark windows and sighed. A tear made its slow way down his cheek and he wiped it away angrily. The rain was easing up a bit but was still pounding on the car, drowning out every other sound. He sat there for a while thinking about her. Thinking he should have said it more often.
"Stephanie, I love you!" He said out loud and that was it, he couldn't hold back anymore and he sagged down on the steering wheel sobbing.
And
every time it rains
I feel her holding me
And everytime it
rains
Are the angels crying
And every time it rains
I
feel her holding me
And everytime it rains
Are the angels
crying
Please review, it would make my day, since so far it has only been raining.
