This chapter is again in Lilly's POV

I'll Be Here

I walked down the street on my way to work. The sidewalk was almost deserted as most people had decided to drive to work due to the unusually cold weather for this time of year, but no i had to decide to walk, didn't i? And now here i was freezing, trying to warm up my extremely cold hands.
I finally arrived at work, and sat down at my desk rubbing my hands together quickly. I started to fill out some paper work as i drowned down a much needed coffee.

I sighed standing up as i saw Scotty walking through the door. It had only been a matter of days since the news of Elissa had been heard and i was sure that Boss had given him more time off then this. I had gone to visit him only that once at his apartment, I'd considered going to see him again but i had decided that it would probably be best to give him some time on his own to figure things out.

He walked in looking at me, that same expressionless look planted on his face.
"Hey Scotty," I said trying to sound as normal as possible, but i could even tell that i sounded more then less sympathetic. "Hey Lil." His words were as energetic as his facial expression.
"How are you doing?" The question tumbled from my mouth. This was something i had told my self to refrain from asking, i was sure everyone who he had spoken to since Elissa's death would have asked a question almost identical to mine.
"Great, Just fine." He sounded almost sarcastic. I waited a second before answering.
"I'm sorry Scotty, I'm sure you don't need everyone asking you that"
Scotty nodded slowly, "It's ok... I'm doing ok."

I smiled sitting down at my desk, Scotty sat beside me.
"What have i missed around here, any new cases?" Scotty asked sounding slightly enthused. It was an imrovement at least. I shook my head, "It's been quiet," I answered honestly. For the last few days all we had been doing was filling out paperwork that should have been completed weeks ago, all waiting for someone or something to bring new direction to a case.
Scotty stood up. "I'll be right back"
I watched Scotty walk into the break room.

"Scotty's back already?" Jeffries asked as Vera and himself approached me. "He says he is fine," I answered.
"Boss told him to take as much time off as he needed," Nick commented.
"Maybe thats all he needed," I tried to defend Scotty's word.
"His girlfriend just died Lil, you don't really think he's ready to come back to work and solve some murders that most likely then not have been long forgotten by everyone?" Jeffries questioned me.
We all looked over to Scotty who was pouring coffee into his mug. He looked down at his drink for a few seconds then took a sip. He then leant back onto the bench and shut his eyes, opening them to take another sip. He continued to drink, his eyes becoming more empty in sync with the coffee that was growing lesser and less in the mug before him.
"No, i don't think he is. But who are we to say what he can and can not do," I said looking back to my colleagues.

well, That was alot shorter then it seemed when i wrote it. i hope you still like this fic. Sorry if it was like bad or like heaps boring, i'll try harder if you hate it.
