Chapter 50
Vince was sitting on the couch when mary sat down next to him;"Where's justin?"
"He's still asleep."started she slowly;"Have you thought about what you're going to do now?"
"Just sit here with you."smiled vince teasing as he put his arms around her;"Just the two of us."
"Very funny,vince,but that wasn't what I meant and you know it."said mary;"What do you want to do now that you can't work anymore?"
"Who says that I can't work anymore,mary?"asked he surprised;"All Jamie said was that I had to take it easy."
"You know damn well what he meant by that!"answered she irritated;"You know that you can't keep working at mary's place unless you want another heartattack."
"I don't see why not."said vince as he tried to stay calm;"Just because I have had a heartattack that doesn't mean that I have to stay at home and do nothing all day long."
"Jamie told you that running mary's place from morning untill night was too much strain on you and could cause you to have a second heartattack,vince!"
"What do you think will happen if I can't do anything anymore?"asked he slowly;"I know that you're worried about me,mary,but if I can't atleast work a little bit at mary's place then I won't survive because I need to feel usefull and not spend all my time at home on a couch or something."
"But if you keep working at mary's place like before it's going to kill you anyway,vince !"answered mary angry and wanted to get off the couch;"I don't want to stand around and watch you work yourself to death!"
"I won't work myself to death,mary,but I just can't sit around and do nothing."said vince as he pulled her back down next to him on the couch;"I promise you that I will take it really easy and that I will go the doctor for a check-up every few months so that you don't have to worry so much about me having another heartattack,honey."
At one of the penthouses at tops the cleaningladies knocked on the door to see if anybody was home;"Hello,housekeeping,can we come in?"
"Hey,this door is open."said one of the women surprised and pushed it further open;"Maybe they forgot to lock it,Hannah."
"That's just something for rich people to forget,liz,they don't care if their stuff gets stolen because they can just buy new things."answered she a bit irritated;"Let's just go inside,because we don't have all day."
"I wish that I could spend just one night in a penthouse like this."smiled liz as they went inside;"Just one night together with vic."
"The only reason why you'll ever be in a penthouse like this is to clean it,honey,so keep on dreaming."laughed Hannah as she walked into the livingroom and got the shock of her life;"Oh,my god!"
"What is it?"asked liz worried when she came out of the hallway and began screaming when she saw what her friend had seen : a man laying dead next to the couch and blood everywhere around him.
That afternoon at the hospital m.j. was talking to Cheryl when adam walked in;"Hello,ladies."
"Hi,adam."said Cheryl as she got up and walked to the door;"I have to go because I promised chad I would pick up some stuff for him at the store and bring it to his place."
"Say hello to him for me."answered her sister and turned towards adam after her sister had left the room;"So,adam,you seem to have had a busy morning."
"Did aaron tell you?"asked he surprised;"Is everything okay between you two now?"
"We didn't make up,adam,if that's what you're worried about."started m.j. slowly;"We had a good talk and he understands now that I have to do this."
"I just hated seeing you like that lastnight and I had to do something,m.j."began her boyfriend hesitating;"Does this mean that it's really over between you two now?"
"I guess so."said she;"I really care a lot about aaron and in a way I might even love him up to some level,but not in the same way that I love you."
"So,does this really mean that I don't have to hide the fact that I love you anymore?"asked adam teasing while he sat down on her bed;"Can I finally see you day or night and kiss you no matter who else is in the room with us?"
"Yes,I already told you before.""smiled his girlfriend;"But I don't think the nurses will be all that happy if you were to show up to see me at night,adam."
"You and justin are moving in with me as soon as you get out of here!"said he all of a sudden and kissed her;"Or better yet,we're going to get a bigger house for when justin gets brothers or sisters."
"Aren't you moving a bit fast now?"asked m.j. surprised;"We just got back together again,adam,shouldn't we take it slow?"
"No way!"smiled adam and kissed her again;"Now that I've got you back again I'm going to make sure that we stay together!"
Shane was waiting for the captain,outside of his office,when ryan walked up to him;"Hi,ryan,did the captain call you too?"
"Yes,on my day off."said he irritated;"I thought that we deserved a day off after all the hard work that we put into the robbery-case."
"So did i."answered shane as the captain opened the door and called them both in;"Hello,sir."
"I've got a new case for you both."started their captain slowly as he sat down again;"There was a murder at tops earlier and I want you both to work on it."
"What happened?"asked ryan surprised;"Who got killed?"
"Regioneld laSalle or better known as regioneld love."answered samuals as he turned towards shane when he saw the shocked look on his face;"Yes,Cassidy,the father of your girlfriend and I guess judging by the look on your face that you hadn't heard about this yet."
"No,I didn't know,captain,does his family know?"began he hesitating;"And doesn't the fact that he was nicole's father make me a bad choice to have working on this case?"
"His identity wasn't made public untill ten minutes ago and I already send somebody to the hudson's to tell them the news."started his captain irritated;"You're a policeofficer and it shouldn't matter who the victim is,Cassidy,together with adam you're my best team,but he seems to have taken the week off for some reason and that is why I want you to handle this with ryan!"
"But,sir,this really isn't something for shane to be doing!"tried ryan again;"You can't expect shane to question his own girlfriend and her family."
"Why not?"asked samuals and turned towards ryan;"He's a detective and investigating murders is his job,Harrison,so that's what he will do in this case and that's the end of it!"
