Thanks for the reviews!
"OK, Miss Adams, Miss Elias, please give me a description of Mr. Dave Souza," asked Gordon.
Lily looked at Cynthia and then back at Gordon. "Well he's about six feet or six-one, dark brown short hair, light skin, brown eyes."
"Yeah, he's also cute, innocent look," Cynthia said. Everyone turned their heads and looked at her questionably. She slumped back on the chair, crossing her arms, feeling embarrassed.
"Lily?" She looked up and smiled as Derek entered the room. "Don't worry, we'll find him."
Bruce jaw tighten as he saw Derek kiss Lily's temple. "Yes, Beautiful, I have Gotham's top investigators on this case," said Bruce putting a hand on her shoulder.
"Don't worry Mr. Wayne we already have that covered without your help," said a not too nice Derek.
"Well, the hell is your problem with me, huh?" asked Bruce angrily.
"My problem is that you keep putting your nose where it doesn't belong. And stop calling my girlfriend beautiful because the only one who should call her that is me, not you."
Lily stood to try to intervene on the two. "Now isn't the time for this instead of arguing we should be looking for Dave."
"Lily's right, you both shut or I'll clock you both," said Cynthia glaring at them.
"Uh, sorry to interrupt, but we've received news from the station that they found a dead body with Mr. Souza's description, but no identification."
Lily felt the blood drain from her face along with Cynthia's. "W-We have to get there now," Cynthia said taking Lily's hand and dragging her out of the room.
"When do we get to see the... body?" whispered Lily.
"Soon, we have to have his family here first, though," said Gordon.
"His family?!" yelled Lily. "We are the only family Dave has! They want nothing to do with him!"
"Miss Adams please calm down."
"I can't calm down! They're the reason why Dave is probably dead," she said breaking down. Someone had pulled her into their arms, realizing it was Bruce because of his cologne.
"Don't cry, Beautiful, everything will be alright."
Just them the door burst open with Lorena, Christina, and Diana rushing in with Mario behind them. "Is it him?" asked Christina shaking Derek. "Is it?!"
"We don't know ma'am," said Derek. "Calm down, we need you to identify the body."
"Me? No I couldn't bear to know that that is my son in there," she said crying.
Lily pulled out of Bruce's arms and walked over to Christina and slapped her in the face.
"What the hell you lard, how there you lay a hand on my mother?!" yelled Lorena.
"That was for Dave. Don't come here acting like you care for him because you don't," said Lily in a deadly tone. Mario smirked at the scene. He loved how feisty this girl was. He's desired her ever since the bookstore incident.
"Excuse me, the family may go and identify the body," said Gordon.
"N-No I can't go. I couldn't bear seeing my son in there," said Christina.
"Me neither," said Lorena with disgust.
"Maybe because your conscious won't allow you," growled Cynthia. "We'll go in." Lily nodded.
"I'll go with you, Beautiful," said Bruce from behind. Derek gave him a glare.
"No, only family are allowed and since they don't want to, then his closest friend may identify."
"Well, I don't care. I want to be there for Lily," said Bruce.
"Well, that is why I'm here."
"Enough! None of you may go in only the two girls," said a pissed off Gordon.
Lily and Cynthia were led in the room. It felt icy and smelled of death. Gordon turned to the girls and gave them a sympathetic smile. "You girls ready?" They both nodded and waited nervously as he lifted the sheet up. Both of them gasped as they saw the body. The corpse looked just like Dave. Both of them couldn't believe what was happening and burst into tears.
"Well, it's not certain, but we'll know when we get the DNA testing," said Gordon. Both girls only nodded as he escorted them out.
Meanwhile
"I can't stand being here," scowled Diana. "Just knowing that there's a dead body in the other makes me wanna hurl."
"Nobody asked you to come Diana," said Bruce.
"Oh, Bruce, but don't be so mean to me. Know that we were very close before," said Diana playing with his tie. Bruce snatched his tie from her hands.
"That was before, not now," he said.
"Yeah, before you met that lard," she growled.
"Please control your girlfriend because that is my girlfriend she's insulting," growled Derek.
"She's not my girlfriend," Bruce growled back.
Suddenly the door opened and Lily and Cynthia came out. Bruce was the first one to get to Lily. "Was it him?" he asked.
Lily shrugged. "We don't know. Gordon said that we'll find out when they give us the result of the DNA testing."
"Don't cry, I'm sure it's not him." Lily gave him a weak smile and hugged him. All she wanted to do is get lost in his arms and help her take away her pain.
Derek glared at the scene. He was about to interrupt, but Gordon ordered him to go fetch the results. Diana was also furious seeing them cuddle together that way, but at the same time she felt jealous the way Derek was acting the way he did between the two. She suddenly felt nauseous and quickly felt the room and tried to find a bathroom. She bumped into a body sending both to the floor. When she looked at the person she found Derek underneath her.
"What hell you bastard?!" she yelled getting off him. "Why don't you watch where you're going? It's like you're following me," she huffed.
Derek shook his head on how conceited this girl was. "Well, for your information, I'm taking back the analisys back to my boss, so if you would excuse me," he said walking past her.
"Jerk," she said under her breath. She felt getting dizzy again and went on looking of a bathroom.
"Here, sir, the results," said Derek when he got back with Gordon.
"What does it say?" demanded Lorena, who was sitting down with her mother. Christina still had the red marks of Lily's slap on her face.
"Negative. The body isn't Dave's." Every heaved a relief that it wasn't him, but still felt a void. If that's not him then where is he?
"Well, if it isn't him, we have nothing else to do here," said Christina. "So, well be going now." She got up and left along with Lorena. Mario gave another look at Lily and left winking at her. She stepped closer to Bruce feeling scared. She still remembered the way he harassed her at her shop.
"Don't worry, Beautiful. Like I said before, I'll make sure I find Dave," he said giving her a warm smile. Lily smiled and kissed his cheek. Derek saw this and immediately left, slamming the door behind them.
"I'm sorry about Derek's attitude, Bruce. He doesn't understand that we're just friends," said Lily.
"Don't worry, Beautiful, I'd be angry too if my girlfriend kissed another man especially a pretty one like you."
"Damn it, Bruce," she said turning red. Bruce chuckled as he watched her trying to hide her face.
"Come on, Beautiful, you and Cynthia have had a trying day, let's get you home."
Meanwhile
"Where the fuck is the bathroom," Diana said weakly.
"Excuse me, miss, you can't be wondering... Oh, it's you," said Derek.
"Yes, it's me and," Diana felt dizzy and almost fell. Derek caught her before she hit the floor.
"No, get off me," she mumbled. "I need to find a bathroom."
"Come on, I'll take you." He carried her to the bathroom and put her over the sink; Diana immediately threw up. Derek looked away in disgust, but he still held her hair up.
"Uh, I feel so sick," she moaned.
"Well, you had no reason to be here in the first place," said Derek.
"Shut up. I only came to accompany Lori," she said angrily. "And you're with that lard," she snarled. "How dare she acts that way around Bruce."
"Don't say that about her, she's a better woman than you will ever be," he said turning her to face.
"Oh, yeah." She felt nauseous again and threw up close to his shoes. Derek pushed her away in disgust. "Oh God, I don't feel so good." She past out and fell on Derek.
"Dammit, now I have to take her home," he said. He picked her up and but her on one of the benches. He checked her purse for her license to find her address. Her apartment seemed to be where the rich people in Gotham lived. He looked at her limp form and couldn't help to notice how innocent she looked when she slept. "What am I going to do with you?"
