Chapter 3: Insomnia: Tiffany and Stuart
It was already late at night when they wrapped up the case. So when they're already in their respective homes, Tiffany Wallace wasn't expecting a call from her partner.
"I can't sleep, Tiff" Stuart Scola complained.
"And you think you have to call me in the middle of the night to tell me that?" Tiff sounded angry but he knew she didn't mind. At least, he didn't think so.
"Yes, because you're my partner and we should help each other with these things."
Damn Stuart and his reasoning sometimes. "Oh, so you think Maggie and OA or Isobel and Jubal call each other when they can't sleep?" Tiff argued.
"Don't make me answer that question."
Tiff snorted. She and Stuart haven't been partners that long so she's not sure how the other partners work.
"Hey, I know for a fact that OA knows Maggie's cycle."
"For real?"
"Yeah, something about having sisters."
Tiff laughed at that. "Then what about Isobel and Jubal?"
"Oh, do not even get me started with mom and dad."
She guffawed this time, grateful that she's alone in her apartment. "Don't let them hear you call them that."
It's Stuart's turn to snort. "I don't know why am I the one always stumbling upon them when they're fighting or having a private talk or something."
"That's because you're nosy".
"No," Stuart yawned, "I am not."
"Sounds like my job here is done, good night Stuart."
"Yeah, good night," Stuart softly added, "thanks, partner," before hanging up.
