Officer Erik

A couple months after having Lexi, not much has changed. She hasn't talked since that awful night, she barely eats, and sometimes I catch her creeping into her room at night. I tried asking her what she's doing, but she just stares at me. I tried putting her in therapy, but the therapist gets no more than I do. I didn't think things could get any worse.

That's the problem though, I didn't think.

"Lexi, you need to talk." I said, sternly. She just stared at me with those blue eyes. "Say something! Anything!" I shrieked.

Still nothing.

I sighed. "I know things have changed since...the accident. But-" I started.

"It wasn't an accident." she said, still staring at me. Wha...huh?

"What did you say?" I asked, shocked.

She looked at me for a minute longer, then grabbed her back pack and headed out towards the bus stop. I watched her as she glanced back one time before getting on the bus.

She thinks...and...I need to call the police or something.

So that's what I did, I called the police. Not 911, though, because it wasn't an emergency. Well, not immediately.

"Hello, this is Officer Erik. How can I be of service?" he asked.

"Is Officer Burns there?" I asked.

"No, he's out. May I ask who is calling?" Oh shit. He's not there...maybe I can call back later?

"This is Angela Davis." I stated. "I'll call back later." I added.

"Wait!" Officer Erik exclaimed. Why?

"Yes?" I said, unsure.

"Do you have a question regarding your sister's accident?" he asked, formally.

I was silent for a minute. It has something to do with my sister's accident, but it's not actually about it. It's about her daughter's opinion on it.Hmm... "I'm the officer working on her case, Ma'am. I need to know." he stated. Well...I guess.

"It's actually about her daughter, my niece. She said something..." I trailed.

"I'll be right over." the officer said, before hanging up. Well...that's odd.

I managed to clean up the whole kitchen before Officer Erik knocked on my door. "Come in." I answered.

He entered, and I stifled a gasp. He was gorgeous. He had light brown hair that was cut just barely above his light blue eyes. Those eyes...where have I seen them before....

"Hello, Angela." he greeted, with a voice somehow more beautiful than he was himself.

I pulled myself together. I have Micheal. "Hi. Um, feel free to sit down." I said, playing host.

He took the invitation, before asking, "What did Alexis say?" How does he know Lexi's name?? Probably police records. Duh, he's on the case.

I sighed. "She said that my sister's death wasn't an accident." I told him, quietly.

He looked unsettled with this news for an instant, but a moment later his face held no emotion. "Do you know anyone who your sister didn't get along well with?" he asked.

My jaw dropped. That's possible?!?! "But it was a car accident! How could...why would..." I rambled, my eyes brimming with tears.

Officer Erik was by my side in an instant. "I'm sorry, it's standard procedure." he reassured me, patting my back. Once I pulled myself together, Officer Erik asked easy questions like if I picked up her stuff, if anything important was missing, etc. By the end of his questioning, he was at a dead end and we both knew it. No pun intended.

"Do you mind if I speak with Lexi?" Officer Dreamy...I mean Erik, asked.

"She doesn't really...." I started, but stopped. Lexi. He called her Lexi. During this whole thing, I only refereed to her as Alexis, because that is the name my sister gave her. "You called my niece Lexi." I stated, letting it sink in. Maybe he guessed? No, that's too good of luck.

All color drained from his face. He's hiding something... "Why? Why did you-" I started.

Speaking of Lexi, she walked in the door. She looked depressed...until she saw Officer Erik.

"Uncle Erik!" Lexi shouted, dropping her bag and running towards him.

UNCLE?!?!?!?! How is that even possible? But I'm her only...and...AH!

Well, at least I know where I recognized those eyes.
