Chapter 5
Danny pov
"Thanks, I really appreciate this. You will only have to pay a little more attention around, nothing more."
He's nervous; I'm starting to think that it could be me…. No, he became more agitated when I pointed out he was naked. He could have been embarrassed for that but it's not like he should be ashamed of that fabulous body.
It could be for the scars. They are strange; I don't think he got them in an accident.
I would like to ask, but seeing how he reacted to me until now, he will probably stop talking altogether If I mention them.
I'm really happy that he agreed to help, he seems like he's really a good cop… and like this I also have a good excuse to see him again.
"So, Danny. Would you like a cup of coffee?" He asks me. Probably I was silent for a while and he was uncomfortable, because I would have swore he wanted me out of here as soon as possible.
"Yes, that would be great! Thanks. With sugar." I reply.
I take another look around and I can't help but notice that the apartment is incredible clean… too clean. He lives here and I don't think he could afford someone to clean it.
I'm about to ask him, but then I notice that he's cleaning while waiting for the coffee.
Probably he has some kind of OCD, I realize watching his hands clean the counter and catching a glimpse of the uncomfortable expression on his face.
Asking him that now could be a horrible mistake. I'm starting to think that of him as a mine field, the wrong question could make him explode… at me.
After a few he hands me a cup of steaming coffee.
"Thank you" I say. "After this I leave you to rest. It was a long day for both of us."
"Yeah," It's his reply. "It's been really long."
We drink our coffees in silence, each with his own thoughts. The coffee is good and once I finish it, I thank him again and as promised I leave with a quiet promise to see him again soon.
While I reach Vivian at the car I can't stop thinking about Ryan. He's really a mystery. So unreadable. I have a few clear information about him, but I'm not really sure how to put them together.
I should probably check out a little about his past, just so I can know for sure he'll not ruin the operation, even if he wouldn't't like it.
Who I'm kidding, the rest of my team probably has ready a complete background check about him.
Vivian is waiting for me in the driver seat.
Once inside, she starts the car and I repeat to her my conversation with Ryan, leaving out the fact that he was half naked and other things I'll consider for "personal use only".
She nods, "that's good," she says "while you were with Ryan I talked to Sam and Martin…"
She notices me smirking at this and raises a questioning eyebrow.
I turn my expression blank and nod at her to go on.
She sends me a brief glare and continues: "As I was saying, they ran a background check on your new "friend", and it seems that he's really good. He was patrol and then CSI in Miami. There are only a few unclear parts in his file, but nothing big. I think we can trust him."
I can't help but smiling at this, thinking at how seeing Ryan again is just became a little easier.
