Chapter 3

Beca ran to her car. Fucking ran. She was ecstatic, she felt like she usually did when there was a new lead on a case. Beca was excited and anxious. It felt so right, but she knew, the both knew, it was wrong. But she refused to care. 'Not now, not when everything was starting!' the brunette thought to herself. The navy eyed cop bit her lip and wondered what she should do next. Jesse! No doubt he would want to know. When Beca first came out to him, he had been really supportive and hadn't stopped calling her 'lesbro' until she burned one of his three copies of 'The Breakfast Club'. 'That had shut him up.' Beca smirked at the memory and pulled her phone out dialling Jesse's number.

"Pick up, asshole," she muttered. Beca just wanted to tell him about what had happened and he wasn't answering. 'Maybe I should tell Aubrey instead.' Beca chuckled at the thought. Her co-worker would freak out and do god knows what. But she and Chloe hadn't even

done anything yet, they'd barely even talked.

The brunette was fed up with Jesse and decided to head back to the hospital to fill in Aubrey and then maybe go have lunch. As she started up her car, she connected her phone to the speaker and put on a song she'd been thinking about since she had gotten Chloe's number. Backing out of the parking lot, she started to sing along.

"Let me know that I've done wrong, when I've known this all along. I go around a time or two, just to waste my time with you," Beca was bopping her head now. In her spare time Beca loved to do this. Now she thought about it she had a fuck ton of dirty little secrets. As the chorus came in, the cop was whipping her hair about crazily. "I'll keep you my dirty little secret, dirty little secret, don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret, just another regret, hope that you can keep it, my dirty little secret!" she was practically screaming the lyrics when she saw her chief in his car. Shit. And he was glaring at her. Beca decided to keep her head low and pretend like nothing had happened. That's what she was best at doing, running. She was okay at driving too, though.

When Beca finally arrived back at the hospital after the mishap with her chief, Aubrey was sitting outside on a bench with one hand in her hair, frustrated, and the other holding papers. Beca smiled when she saw her friend and sat down with the burritos she had gotten from the gas station.

"Couldn't keep away from me til 8, Mithchell?" Aubrey asked, grinning. Beca glared at her and replied.

"Quite the opposite actually, but I guess I had to fill you in and see what you were doing. But, hey, look what I brought!" the brunette detective was waving the cheap-ass Mexican (well kind of) food in front of the blonde.

Aubrey scoffed "That crap's gonna kill you if you keep eating it, shorty." Beca bit her lip at this comment.

"Yeah, but you love it though."

"That I do." and with that the blonde took the food in front of her.

"So, the doctors. Most of them spoke well of Sarah but say that she was very closed off." Beca began.

"Like you then, Mitchell?" Aubrey asked jokingly.

"Shut up, no interrupting. Turns out she had a best friend though and they were close. Sarah was in the army before but she quit when she and a patient were attacked. The patient died but she survived and she got a lot of stick for it, mainly because the soldier killed was the governor's son. Sarah blamed herself and she fell into a depression and just worked her ass off. But I've got a lead on her murderer. You know the hot redhead?" Aubrey nodded.

"Well she's one of the doctors and she said that the handyman was acting odd. He stayed late and Sarah was found dead in the morning. So someone's gotta interview him. But I dunno Aubrey, I feel like there's something bigger going on. Not just a crazy janitor."

"Right. My turn then. I talked to the hospital technicians and not one of them has a clue why the CCTV turned off. The only people who have access to it are the technicians and janitors. It stopped at 8:09 pm and whoever turned it off was wearing a mask and covered the screen before turning everything off." Aubrey finished.

"Its all pointing towards the janitor isn't it?" Beca asked, wondering if she'd ever had a case this easy before.

"Uh huh. I'll go take him down to the station with the boys and if you get Jesse to look at Sarah in more detail?" Aubrey checked

"Cool," Beca replied, her mind on Chloe and not really on the conversation.

"Oh and Beca?" the brunette nodded. "Have fun with your doctor friend." Aubrey said winking. How the hell did she know?

"W-wh- goddamn it, Posen!" Aubrey just knew her too well.

Beca opened her beer and slumped down in the coach next to Jesse. She and Jesse had been best friends since before she could remember. They'd do everything together. Hell, they even had the same job now! Not much had changed since they were kids.

"So, uh, I got a girl's number today." Beca grinned cheesily.

Jesse raised his eyebrows. "Oh yeah? Who is she?"

Beca cleared her throat. "Well, you know I had to interview the doctors today," Jesse nodded and motioned for her to continue. "When I was arriving today, there was this breathtaking, beautiful girl who turned out to be one of the doctors. We were kinda flirty throughout the whole interview and at the end, we, uh, exchanged numbers." The girl bit her lip guiltily and took a swig of her beer.

Jesse was chuckling. "Wow, Bec, professional right there."

Beca scoffed. "Shut up. At least I can get a number. When was the last time you went on a date?"

"And that's where this conversation ends. What do ya wanna watch?"

"Ooh, Castle!" Beca jumped up in her seat.

Jesse sighed. "Really Beca? You choose a crime drama?"

"Beckett is hot," Beca shrugged. "Which reminds me," the cop winked. The brunette picked up her phone and put in Chloe's number.

Hey Red. How are you?

The reply was almost instant.

Not bad thanks. How about my favourite inspector?

Knackered actually.

Aw, poor badass cop is tired!

Not that tired though ;)

Forward, are we?

Do you wanna go someplace tonight?

She had tickets to a concert tonight. Crap, what about Aubrey? They were gonna eat takeout and watch Gilmore Girls.

Yeah sure, I could do with relaxing.

I have tickets to a twenty one pilots show, wanna come with?

HOLY SHIT YES I LOVE 21 PILOTS

Well you can tell me about all the things you love when I pick you up at 8.

See ya then ;)

Bye Red.

"Shit, shit, shit, shit." Beca muttered.

"Something wrong there Bec?"

"I'm going out tonight but I made plans with Aubrey."

"Good luck with that then." Jesse mimed Aubrey slitting her throat.

Hey Posen

A few minutes later she had a response.

Whats up, tiny?

I know we had plans but I'm going out with Chloe tonight. Is it ok if I cancel?

Yeah, I'll go out with Stacie. I'm pretty sure she likes me and its Friday night so what the hell. Have fun with Chloe ;)

I will. And you with Stacie

Now crap, what should she wear?

Sorry for the wait guys! I know this chapter is a bit shitty towards the end but I just wanted to finish it.

Staubrey won (sorry Jaubrey shippers) I think it was 5-1 or something like that.

Anyway, have a good day and R & R :)
