’ ‘In that case–‘ started the Chief, but we were interrupted as Lt. Teresa Croyle came into the room. She was not alone. ‘Look who’s back ...from the Police Academy, everyone!’ Teresa said. It was Detective Theo Washington, the ‘movie star handsome’ black Detective, whose brother Franklin was one of the ADAs at the Courthouse. Theo was dressed in a suit that rivaled Martin Nash’s for the ‘GQ look’. ‘About time you got back, Washington.’ growled the Chief in a friendly way as he shook Theo’s hand.. An hour later, he rolled himself out of bed and headed for the bathroom. He took a quick shave (he considered himself lucky that he didn?t have much facial hair), took a shower, got dressed, and headed out the door to his first day. He still felt exhausted as he walked through the massive reception area.?Ah. Hi Joe,? the lady behind the desk said, cheerily. ?Miss Emma told me you?d be starting today.? She stood up. ?I?m Angela,? she said, holding out her hand. Joe took it. ?Are you okay, Joe?. Boom.Boom.The drums stopped their movements, beating in symphony their ghostly chorus in steady and eerie harmony.Clarity descends upon her mind in dead certainty.Swiftly turning Rh’aan caught the wicked smile upon that face; in time to feel a sharpened bolt from a nearby archer crossbow enter her back. Two more caught her from each side, biting deeply into her heart.Boom. Boom.Boom.The phantom calling of ghostly drums reached into her ears and the very being of her soul.She did not recall. I have a solution for this.Rani: (very excited)Kya hai batao!Me: Nahi! It would be a surprise for you. Dekhta hoon ki tum kitni desperate ho!Rani: Abhi mujhe chedao math yaar! jaldi batao kya karenge?Me: Bataoonga jaanu! Tu bas sabar karo!Yeh kehke mein ne apne ghar chala gaya. Pata nahi kya guzar rahi thi us par.Us raat uska husband nahi aane wala tha. He had a sales conference and had to be at the office and would return in the next day’s evening. So I quickly finished my dinner and went back.
