It was a monday morning,the day after . The sky was pink and orange blended into a tropical looking back ground. Light shines and blinded Gumshoe as he left Allegra's house with her following. He walked out and looked at his watch. "So Ally you want to work under me? Why did you want to do that?" He asked as he walked next to her.
She wore a grey and black stripped hoodie with grey shorts and black flip flops with a white shirt.
She smiled. "Well I thought it would be cool, and a good chance to get close to you. And anyways being some form of cop is in my blood." He looked at her concerned a little. She seemed to be following her mother's footsteps, or was it something else? He knew she could be a lot of things. She could sing. She could draw. She could write books. But she wanted to be in the police force.
Gumshoe was puzzled. Ally was always telling him how she was going to be a singer for a oprea or something. But... She never did. Infact, she hadn't sung since she was little.
"So... Dick. Are you going to let me work under you?" Allegra asked as she looked at him slightly. Gumshoe nodded o her question and smiled slihgtly. "Of course. I would love for you to be working under me."
He really cared about her. Ever since they were kids. Her brother, Dante was his best friend. They were both in the same grade and would hang out a lot. Dante would stand up for thoses who couldn't. He stood up for his sister and even for him at one point. But onnce he was gone, no one was there to protect her.
So Gumshoe stood up for her, like her borhter would have done. Of course he helped Allegra through the pain she was going through. He wouldn't let her stand alone. Maybe, just maybe thats way she was close to him.
He looked at her and patted her on the back slightly. "Well what are we wait for? Time for you to get your job, right pal?" She smiled back as they reached the station, and they walked in.
////Allegra's view////
She had gotten the job she was wanting. She was so happy, that they let her join. After that Gumshoe had told her he would call her later and it would be good if she just drove around while waiting.
So she went home and got into her Black Jeep Wrangler and went for a joy ride.
She drove out of the city and into a forestish part. Turning slowly on to a dirt road she looked out, noticing everything here hadn't been touched recently, maybe even parked her Jeep on the side of the dirt road and looked at the digital clock in the car. It was 3: 56 in the after noon.
She openned her door and then closed it behind her. She then walked towards a hill with a couple of trees. The sun heated the earth and made it humid and dry out. A old wooden fence was broken to the point you didn't need a gate anymore. She walked pass it and walked to the top of the hill.
A soft wind blow passed her, making her think of old memories, a ghost of her past.
"Ally! For now on, the three of us will met up here on the weekends. You, me and Dick. Won't that be fun?"
She balled up her hands into tight fists. A knot in her heart had formed. A farmilair pain had resurficed.
"Dante......"
Allegra didn't know why she felt so angry. Why she felt this hate. As tears fell from her to the ground she begun to shake. She could barely stand anymore.
Her vision begun to fog, and she felt light headed. She didn't know it but she was hurting herself. She had held in to much emoton that it was finally over flowing out. It had made her sick and weak. She couldn't stop her tears.
As she felt her knees given in her prepared to feel the pain, but instead she was caught. She could barely see with her watery, foggy eyes, but she saw Dick Gumshoe staring down at her.
"Dick, I'm-m fine. I just felt dizzy is all...." She studdered and made a excuse for her weakness. She began to force herself to stand put she was stopped by his hands. She was to weak to resist or force him off, but then again she didn't want to leave.
"Ally..... I'm here for you..." She felt him hold her tighter. She tried holding everything back, but she couldn't anymore. She let out everything. Her true feelings. Her true self. The person she was afraid to put out.
//Gumshoe's View//
He held her close, hearing her cry for the first time. He didn't know that she was surpressing so much back. All this emotion. She must of had a strong will to make sure she didn't show everything,
Gumshoe had her sitting up, leaning against him, with his arms wrapped around her. Her head was pressed into his chest. Soon she had stopped trembling and crying, which left only silence. "Are you okay now..?" He asked as he looked down at her. She nodded slightly, but didn't look up.
"I wanted to be strong....." Allerga started as her voice trembled. "I-I didn't want you to worry over me..... I didn't want to burden you."
He sighed slightly. "You would never burden me Ally..... And I always worry over you...." Allegra looked up at him with her tear stained face and red eyes. He took her hand and held it. "I will never stop worrying about you. I care too much for that." He wanted to say more, but he stopped himself. He wanted to say he loved her.
But just a couple of days ago he was hurt from his ex. He thought he loved her. But maybe he didn't. For some reason he had always had feelings towards Allegra. He would do anything for her. But maybe he needed time before he would know.
It was almost 4:30 and Gumshoe helped Allegra stand up as he did, but then picked her up and carried her bridely style. She didn't even weight much. Allegra was surprised and looked up at him. "You really don't have to carry me....." "I know... But I wanted too." He said with a smile.
He put her in the car passager seat. "I'm going to drive you home." He said as he walked over to the other side and got in. "Wait, what about the other car?" "Someone drove me here. Then left." He said as he put the key in and started the car. "How did you know I was here?" She muttered softly. "I just had a feeling you would be here."
He then put the car into reverse and turned the car around before putting it into drive and driving back. The car ride was quiet, nothing was said. The were soon in front of Allegra's apartment building. He car and looked over at her. "You don't have to hide how you feel to me. You can trust me Ally. I promise." Allgera looked over and nodded slightly. "I'm sorry I did...." Gumshoe shook his head. "No need for sorrys...." He smiled over at her. "Oh, and you start work tomorrow."
The look on Allegra faced perked slightly like trouble had lifted off of her. He got out of the car and took the keys with him. Being the gentlemen he is he opened the door for her too and closed it, locking the Jeep behind them. They both reached the floor that Allegra's apartment was and stood by the door.
"You know the real reason I wanted to be in the police force Dick..?" She said as she looked oer at him. Finally she is openning up. He thought as he nodded. She smiled and looked out the hallway window at the sun. "Don't you remember that he wanted to be a cop too, like mom. He told me that it was his only goal.... I wanted to or maybe I felt like I had to do it for him..." She looked back over to him and smiled as some fresh tears ran down her face. "Kind of stupid huh...?"
Gumshoe took her hand and pulled her into a close hug that startled her, but she hugged him back. He didn't know, but he was crying slightly too, as one single tear left him. Allegra looked up and him, and he looked down at her.
//Allegra's View//
She felt a lot better letting out all this bottled up emotion out. It was like a 100 tons had lifted off her. She took Gumshoes hand and put her fingers inbetween his and smiled again.
She closed her eyes. She was so thankful to have him in her life. Thank you Dick... She thought as she gripped his hand tightly. She had always thought she stood alone after her brother and parents had died. But it wasn't true. She would always have Dick Gumshoe by her.
Suddenly, she felt something kiss her forehead. She openned her eyes to see Gumshoe. Her heart skipped a couple beats as she began to get red in the face. He let go of her hand and smiled a goofy yet embarresed smile. "I'll see you tomorrow Ally. I'll come by so we can go together." And with that he left.
Allegra was still in a stunned state even mintues after he had left. She noticed her keys were in her left hand and he openned the door to her apartment, then closed it behind her. She was still red as she walked over to her couch and sat down. Why did he make her feel like this? She wondered the same thing. She laid down on the couch, then stared at the ceiling.
Closing her eyes she began to calm down. She processd what had happened in her mind. A noise rose from her pocket, slowly getting louder. She reachedintp her pocket and pulled out a black cell phone. She flipped it open. "Hello..?" She said as she moved her body to get comfy. Then she openned her eyes. "Miles? Hey...." She said up straight and looked forward. "Uh, You can come over to night for a bit, but why..?" There was silences for a minute then she nodded her head. "Oh, well I would love to met your sister.... At 8? Alright. See you then." Then she closed her phone and throw it onto the couch next to the on she was on.
Allegra soon stood up and cleaned up slightly. They wouldn't be over too long, which is what Miles said. But still she was metting someone she didn't know.
A couple hours later she heard a knock at her door. She walked over and openned the door to see Miles Edgeworth and a woman with a somewhat mean look to her. She was smirking which made her nervous. The woman wore a black shirt with a black and white jacket like thing with light blue on it. And in her hand she has a whip. "Allegra, this is my sister Franziska van Karma."
Allerga smiled slightly and put of her hand to shake it then she took it back as the whip almost hit her hand. That would of stung. She thought. Miss von Karma just smiled a very cocky smile. Allegra mosved out of the door way to let the in. Miles sat down on the couch next to Franziska, while Allegra sat in a lounge chair cloer to Edgeworth. "So your the girl he was talking about? I hear you are now working under Mr. Scruffy?" She said as she looked at her intently.
"Yes, I start working tomorrow." She said with a smile then the whip came at her again, in which she dodged. Miss von Karma smiled again. "Scruffy isn't the best to work with. He is careless." She stated. "A shame someone like you to be something as lowly as a cop. With the things I hear, you are smarter then that." Allegra smiled and bared the insults. "Dick Gumshoe isn't that bad...." She muttered under her breath. "A foolish fool you are...." "Now now Franziska. Thats enough. "Edgeworth said as he looked over at her.
After a while Edgeworth said they had to go, but they would come and visit again. Franziska just smirked and then left. After that ordeal Allegra was tired. She soon went up to her room and went to sleep. Tomorrow would be her first day of work...
