Chapter 10:

Alexandra's POV

I stepped out of the subway with Lynette behind me; we walked out and into the bright sunlight, we continued our way down the streets till I saw a big building with a police sign on it where my destination was set.

My emotions have been like a roller-coaster; with Lynette I was happy at one moment and then blasting fuel at her the next, my first few days with her was happy like when I was going higher on the ride and then when she met Luke I was going down screaming my head off.

Thankfully, I spaced myself from Lynette's private life and decided to come back to my old job since I took a leave, being Lynette's assistant was a challenge in time and speed but I liked it when it was practical and adventurous.

I was friends with a few of them but not that really close, I was an inspector in the crime scenes which made it a lot more challenging finding DNA and such, the bad thing is about writing a full detailed report about it.

"Well how about we have some breakfast to eat?" Lynette asked curiously,

I looked at the time and shook my head, "Can't, I have to report back to my boss 9am sharp, I'll see you later okay?" I looked at her and she nodded.

She smiled, "Alright then, well I have a meeting nearby anyway; I'll pick you up when you're on break." She walked away when I nodded and she waved, "See ya!"

"Was that Lynette Wilson?" Someone gasped in awe,

I frowned and turned around, thankfully it was one of my colleagues, "Hey Hayley," I smiled, "Whatcha doing?" I asked curiously,

She replied, "Oh well I wanted to welcome you back." She smiled and glanced at the spot, "Well anyway, was that Lynette?" She looked at where she last was.

I chuckled, "Yeah…." I smiled sheepishly, "Were kind of friends,"

"What!" She screeched,

"Damn you Lyn, I bet you left on purpose." I grumbled,

"Why didn't you tell me?!" She squealed, "Lynette Wilson's company designs the best clothes!" Her eyes twinkled, "Can you introduce me to her?" She looked at me hopefully,

I looked at her nervously, what to do… "Maybe," I hesitated answering her and said, "Well anyway, I have to go and meet my boss." I changed the subject and she nodded.

"It's good to have you back Alex," My boss looked at me in relief, "I was a bit surprised when you took a leave but either way we're glad to have you back."

I smiled, "It's good to be back sir."

"And just in time to," The boss said, "We have a new agent coming here today and I would like you to show him around,"

I glared at as soon as he said 'agent', "I'm not a babysitter sir," I said coldly,

He smiled nervously at my glare, "Yes but he requested you to be his guide, he spoke of you very highly and besides you can speak English a lot better than others, ,"

I narrowed my eyes and then frowned, "Why is he here?" I asked curiously,

"Well we have a case that needs to be solved and the police sent him over here since he knew a lot about the person we have to catch." He explained,

I narrowed my eyes even further, "This case doesn't seem to be in our department for that sir,"

He chuckled nervously and I frowned further, "Well before you left, there was a case that left DNA but we didn't have enough evidence surround that so they sent him over."

I furrowed my eyebrows, "Okkay," I trailed off a bit suspicious, "But why me? I just came back off my leave,"

"Because he requested you personally,"

I do not like this… "Really?" I grimaced,

He nodded, "He's coming right now, would you like to meet him?"

I hesitated before nodding slowly, "Okay,"

I heard a knock from the other side of the room and held my breath at who it was. Who would want me to guide them around the place? The boss smiled that sent shivers down my spine; I shook my head and readied myself. I'm just being paranoid,

"Come in," he looked at the door and someone came through.

A tall man came in with blonde hair and blue eyes, he set his eyes on me and smiled, I smiled back a bit and my boss said, "Well why don't we have a chat and get to know each other?"

My eye twitched and I glanced at my boss, I turned to the man and made a pained smiled, "Sure," I paused, "I'm Alex Matthews, Do not call me Alexandra if you want to live, got that?" I glared at him sternly and he nodded a bit frightfully, "I'm an inspector and will be your guide till you finish this case and be back to…"

He carried on the sentence and said, "America,"

"America," I repeated, "And you are?" I raised my eyebrow and he continued,

"Well I'm here on a case but some of my family are already here," he smiled towards me. I nodded and gestured for him to carry on; I noticed my boss was looking at him curiously while giving him a calculating stare.

"Really?" I looked at him surprised, "I never thought that your family would be here in Rome,"

He nodded, "I'll introduce you one day."

I nodded nervously and said, "And you are?"

He smiled sheepishly, "Oh sorry," he stood up and saluted, "My name is…

….

….

….

Daniel Kelly."
