I got out of the car and waited for Niks to get her gear. I looked up at the building and wondered what had happened inside and what the story was. Niks joined me with her huge case and we went inside spotting Flack straight away, but a man like that was hard to miss. "What we got Flack?" He looked up from his notebook. "What, didn't think you'd see us two again? Oh man, my feelings are hurt." Niks smiled and I laughed. He shot her a look and started talking.
"Well, we have two bodies, the guy is Luka Feran and the girl is Carson Hunter, both 22 and students at NYU." Carson where had I heard that name before.
"Thank you. I better get to work. You two get better acquainted without me." Niks sent a wink my way and I resisted the urge tof lip her off and went back to trying to remember where I knew Carson Hunter from.
"So you going to tell me your name or would you prefer Lieutenant ?" He smiled at me cheekily.
"Oh Lieutenant is fine." I smirked and he gave me a look to say am I serious? "It's Kaylee Lake, but call me Lee." I held my hand out for him to shake and he did a little twinkle in his eyes as he smiled and I damn near swooned.
"Well call me Don."
"Ok Don…Is cuimhin liom anois."
"What do you remember?" That took me by surprise I hadn't heard anyone outside my family that spoke Irish. "Hey I'm multi-talented, I look good and speak Irish." He winked and thankfully I restrained the blush from creeping on to my face.
"Er.. Carson Hunter, she's been here about 2 years, she's from Miami moved her with her boyfriend. I know because she was on criminology course Niks and me were giving. She was worried about her studies I told her to stay and if she needed help I'd do what I could. But she said no as her boyfriend was moving up here and she would take the course up here. Maybe we could find him and see what he can tell us?"
"Sure, but how,"
"Photographic memory , makes me great with names, faces and everything in-between." I smiled at him.
"Come on we'll leave the geeks be and go door to door see if anybody knows anything." I went left and he went right. And within an hour I had the door slammed in my face four times, got told to fuck off and one old lady asked me in and I was attacked by her millions of cats. I freaking hate cats.
"Whoa what's wrong with you?" Don smirked as I met him outside.
"Freaking cat lady and I never realised how rude people were till I came here." Don took a step back. "What's wrong with you?"
"I kinda might be allergic to cats." I sniggered. "It's not funny."
"I know, I know sorry. You're allergic and I can't stand them. Hang on." I jogged over to a shop opposite and luckily they had some cello-tape. I ran back across and started to clean myself off from all the cat hair. "There good as new." I smiled at him.
"You didn't have to do, you know, you could have just sat in the back."
"And who says I was doing it for you Detective Flack? I don't wanna be walking round covered in fur. So did you get anything?"
"Yeah apartment is shared with as you guessed Carson's boyfriend…Kieran Fletcher. I already called him into the precinct he should be there in an hour or so."
"Well there must be a knack to getting the people to talk to you. You'll have to teach me." I said climbing in to Flacks car.
"Oh I'm sure I can teach you a lot of things." He smirked giving me a wink. I resisted the urge to roll my eyes. When we got back to the precinct I left him to go find Niks.
"…I really like your tattoo." Messer told Niks as her sleeve was rolled up revealing her tattoo. He was tracing over it gently and I knew it was driving Niks crazy. Ach cailín diabhal we were working no time for flirting. I coughed and she looked up looking guilty. Good.
"Niks a word?" Messer turned sending me a small smile looking like he had been caught out. I walked down the hall way both of us passing Don and stopped near interrogation. "We are working, leave the flirting for after the shift. And we knew Carson she was on that seminar we gave two years back."
"Really? And I wasn't flirting." I looked past her into the room rolling my eyes and saw a guy sat down.
"Hey who's that?" I asked the cop stood outside the room.
"Err Kieran Fletcher, Lieutenant. Detective Flack just went to get Detective Messer so they could interview him." I looked to Niks smiling I was always one to get one over on the guys to prove we're better.
"You thinking what I'm thinking?"
"Chica of course I am." She smirked. We walked in and sat down.
"I'm Lieutenant Lake and this is Detective Carter. As I'm sure you've been made aware your girlfriend Ms Carson Hunter was found today dead." I started and Niks continued.
"Is there anyone you can think of that would want to hurt your girlfriend? Anyone with a grudge or anything suspicious as of late happened?" The guy just started to sob and I heard a tap on the glass and I looked over to see Flack and Messer. I hid my smirk well and nudged Niks nodding to the window. I wondered how much trouble we could get in to for this?
