Due Process (Closed for Mayu)

She felt silly for even talking but when he pressed her head against him, she relaxed it and allowed the music to take them. Right now nothing seemed to matter but him, at this moment she just did not give a shit. Nothing would destroy this moment with him that she knew very well, her heart beating quickly. When he brushed hair out of her eyes she smiled at how gentle he was with her, she had no idea what would happen between them. But something deep down had a feeling she was going to be okay.

Sighing softly and when the music stopped and they stopped, she looked right into his eyes. But she felt him leaning in and she blushed a little bit, feeling his lips graze her a little. And when he gently pressed in, she was shocked but she closed her eyes and recovered quickly. Returning the kiss following his lead on even this simple kiss. Her heart was beating faster in that moment, right now . She felt at peace with him and she would be damned if something was going to screw this weekend up.
 
Josh broke the kiss and chuckled.

"You said you didn't know how to kiss. You are a natural." he said

Then he stepped away but held her fingers in his.

"Eden, you are very beautiful. I enjoy your company, maybe more than I should."
Josh had decided that in addition to getting work done, this week was going to be a period of instruction. This young woman was going to shake the awkward feelings she had, if it was the last thing he ever did.

He let her fingers slide from his.

"Eden, I am going on to bed. We have a lot of work to do tomorrow."
Josh then leaned in and kissed her softly, this time allowing the lips to linger, letting her feel his hot breath. He parted her lips with his own, but kept his tongue in place. He ran his hand under her shirt, his finger tips grazing the hot skin on the small of her back.

She was pulled close enough to feel the swelling in his crotch.

He broke the kiss, "Goodnight, Eden"

He turned and walked up the stairs to his bedroom and closed the door.
 
Eden enjoyed the kiss and smiled when he complemented her on being a natural, she enjoyed the kiss it was her first. And she had always been told that kissing much like sex is all natural. And she was starting to believe that as well, right now it was just to good to be true. She figured her father would love him if they had been around. Josh wasn't like the others that she had seen, he was unique and it felt good to be able to take moments like these. She felt him pull away, and that made her kinda sad.

But she hid it very well and looked up at him, the way he touched her she may have only been nineteen or so but she was more then legal. She got this feeling he thought he was to old for her, which was a bunch of bull. She enjoyed his company very much and it was something she would tell him to, the way she looked at him. And the way she enjoyed his touch, should hopefully clue him on how she was feeling. But when he said he was going to bed, her heart sank a little bit but she just nodded.

Once she heard the door shut she sighed a bit, and went into her room. Which was across from his, and she shut her door. She slipped on her black robe with nothing under it, just something she did a lot at home since she lived alone. It was nice to be able to take moments like these, she sat on the window seat looking up at the moon. She grew rather lonely and it was something she didn't like to much. Rubbing the back of her neck it just felt like everything was going to crap right now.
 
Josh went into his room and stripped down to his white boxer briefs.

He turned off the lights and lay in the bed.

Josh thought for a moment about the case, but that didn't last very long. His thoughts soon turned to Eden. Josh felt really bad about the things she said had happened to her and how they had affected her.

Josh really thought that she would come out of her shell if he could rebuild the confidence lost at the hands of bullies.

And to say she was not confident was probably not correct.

Clearly, when it came to work, she was extremely confident.

But when it came to social situations, she might be lacking. Josh was going to help her. But he would have to go slow.

Tomorrow, he would invite her into the hot tub, and get her used to less clothing.

The thought of Eden in her bathing suit made Josh stir slightly. He would enjoy it and he would let her know it.

Josh went to sleep with the image of a naked Eden on his mind.
 
Eden was up most of the night since she could not sleep but she only needed three hours, she was so use to a busy life that she only needed to get by on three hours. Some thought she was a bit strange, but hey this was her and no one was going to change her. Her mother taught her to always love yourself, though it is pretty hard to do that now. But she just shrugged off the feeling, and sighed softly. Running her fingers in her black hair, running the kiss he gave her and the dance they had in her head.

She was actually rather content and was glad for it as well, she was just satisfied in everything that was going on. She ended up falling asleep though honestly she did not remember going to sleep, but her eyes opened up. She took a deep breath and took in the smell in the air, it was a nice place and was really happy for it. It was nice to be able to take each moment, she got up and dressed quickly. She figured Josh would be getting up in a little bit, so she decided to make herself useful.

Her mother had taught her to cook and decided perhaps a nice home cooked meal would do the trick, so she began to brew the coffee and set the table for two places, she ended up going to the store during the night when she could not sleep. So she was cooking eggs, bacon and some toast. She was humming a little bit as she covered her mouth yawning. She was actually rather satisfied with the smells if his alarm clock did not wake him she hoped her meal that she cooked for them would do the trick.
 
Josh slept fitfully and the aroma of breakfast cooking pulled him from unconsciousness.

Josh stretched and yawned. Today was going to be a busy day...in more ways than one.

After pulling some pajamas on, he opened the door to his room and yelled down, "Goodmorning, it smells delicious! I will be down in a few minutes."

Josh grabbed a shower and brushed his teeth. He pulled on a clean t-shirt with some logo on it, and some shorts. He then padded down the stairs barefoot and took a seat at the table and when it was ready he began eating. He realized he was starving.

"Eden, this is incredible..." he said between bites. Then, "We can add cooking to your extensive list of talents." He smiled big at her.

When they were done eating, Josh washed the dishes.

They then went into the office and started working again.

Josh read almost every report that they had with them. He learned a couple of things. First, the couple had been married for almost 20 years. He discovered that the female victim was only 19 years old, so she was sleeping with a much older and married man.

"Eden, you are 19, right?"

He considered his current situation now. Maybe this whole idea of making a woman out of Eden should not happen/
 
Eden smiled at him glad he seemed happy she loved it when he smiled, he was a sweet guy. Cute to boot but she would not admit that, least not now any way. She was afraid of making this weekend bad if she said something stupid to the man. But right now she just ate and cleaned up. She went right back to the cases she was reading some statements that were in Spanish. Next door neighbor she noticed the translation wasn't right.

"You know who ever translated what this woman said from Spanish to English should be fired, most of this was translated wrong" She said as she fixed up the translation but then she heard what he asked her. Looking over she smiled a little and nodded "Yes I turn twenty this coming up Christmas" She was curious as to why he asked her and she brought a little keyboard with her in case she got board or something and it was something she never showed people.

She turned it on and it sounded like a real piano it was specially made for her and smiled. She thought it would be a good way for him to learn about her, no one in the office knew she could write music very well. Thinking for a moment she smiled "Decided to bring this in case I had time, good way to see a skill I have that no one knows about. Only people that know of course are my parents" She chuckled a little bit. And began to play.

"I know there's something in the wake of your smile.
I get a notion from the look in your eyes, yea.
You've built a love but that love falls apart.
Your little piece of heaven turns too dark.

Listen to your heart
when he's calling for you.
Listen to your heart
there's nothing else you can do.
I don't know where you're going
and I don't know why,
but listen to your heart
before you tell him goodbye.

Sometimes you wonder if this fight is worthwhile.
The precious moments are all lost in the tide, yea.
They're swept away and nothing is what is seems,
the feeling of belonging to your dreams.

Listen to your heart
when he's calling for you.
Listen to your heart
there's nothing else you can do.
I don't know where you're going
and I don't know why,
but listen to your heart
before you tell him goodbye.

And there are voices
that want to be heard.
So much to mention
but you can't find the words.
The scent of magic,
the beauty that's been
when love was wilder than the wind.

Listen to your heart
when he's calling for you.
Listen to your heart
there's nothing else you can do.
I don't know where you're going
and I don't know why,
but listen to your heart
before you tell him goodbye.

Listen to your heart, mm-mmmmmm

I don't know where you're going
and I don't know why,
but listen to your heart
before you tell him goodbye."

Listen To Your Heart
 
"Yes I turn twenty this coming up Christmas"

Josh smiled slightly and nodded. Yeah, this is wrong on so many levels but he still could not stop. He knew it.

While reading a medical examiners report on the female victim, Eden broke out her keyboard and began playing.

She was good, and he enjoyed it.

When she was done he applauded sincerely. “Well done, Eden! God, how talented are you?”

Josh kept getting drawn back to the male victim. The fatal wound was the first one delivered to the chest. The weapon punched through the sternum and into the heart. All the other wounds were post mortem.

What did that mean? Was the defendant so angry at catching her husband with a 19 year old that adrenaline caused her to have almost super human strength? There was no indication that the male victim had something odd with his body, like a weakening of the bone or anything that would have caused it.

The medical examiner also said there were no defensive wounds on the male victim. How does one just stand there and let their wife drive a bladed object into their chest and not flinch or move or even throw their hands up.

From what he was looking at, the male victim, in his underwear, opened the door to the motel and the stood their meekly as his wife plunged a knife into this chest.

Then Josh suddenly remembered what Eden had said. It must have slipped right past him. He spun in his seat and said, “Wait, you speak Spanish? What is wrong with the translation? What does it say?”

Josh listened intently as Eden explained…
 
She smiled when he clapped and was glad he seemed impressed, but then she realized it took him a minute to think when he asked what he did she nodded. "Yes I am fluent in Spanish, French, German and Russian know a little Chinese and Japanese" She said simply. She loved knowledge when she was a kid. Part of the reason that no one wanted her as a girlfriend, she may have done herself in. But she did not care, this was who she was and if guys did not understand that, then to bad for them.

"This statement here the officer asked her if she knew the one in Custody. She has known the woman since she was three years old. But she also has a small disability when she was five she was in a car accident. They had to re-attach her right hand, ever since the accident she can only lift up to five pounds. She was loved by everyone and she is not the kind of person who would do that" She said and smiled at what she read. Thinking for a moment it would make sense, but knew this would not clear the woman.

"She would bet her life that she did not do this crime, Josh I know everyone can have two sides to them. I mean look at the B.T.K Killer he had a wife and children. But if she doesn't have the strength, I know this is her word but Josh what I would suggest we speak with Mrs. Sanchez again perhaps she can tell us what hospital she went to or perhaps Doctors we can speak with, I can easily translate your questions into Spanish. And vise versa I think its worth a shot, perhaps her doctors could tell us more."

Smiling a little bit she thought for a moment, looking at the pictures of the dead, looking up at Josh and smiled a little. "Dedective and even lawyers can do one thing many cannot do. And its to Empathize with the killer, killers dehumanize their victims, but we can humanize the killers" She said simply and sighed a little bit, if what was said was true then perhaps they have another way to look at things. She was up for trying anything, if it meant someone innocent not going to prison.
 
"This statement here the officer asked her if she knew the one in Custody. She has known the woman since she was three years old. But she also has a small disability when she was five she was in a car accident. They had to re-attach her right hand; ever since the accident she can only lift up to five pounds. She was loved by everyone and she is not the kind of person who would do that"

Josh studied Eden for a moment. Then he turned to look at the original translation of the witness statement.

The original translation indicated only that the witness said the defendant had been in the hospital for an accident but was out now. The original interpreter had either left out the specifics or did not understand what was said. That, of course, assumed that Eden knew what she was talking about.

But if true, then to clear the defendant, they would have to find some medical evidence or proof of that she was physically not capable of committing the murder, at least the murder of the male victim.

Josh turned back around and started studying the medical examiner’s report again, while saying quietly, “Thank you,” to Eden.

The day past by slowly.

Josh asked Eden to prepare a subpoena for the defendant’s medical history. He told her to notify the public defender’s office, who was the council for the defense, that they wanted the medical history to explorer possible exculpatory evidence.

Josh began to develop a category 5 raging headache towards late afternoon.

When the words in the reports started to blur, he stood up. “Ok. Eden we are now done. My head hurts and I just want to relax.”

Josh looked at her. He decided it was Eden time. His nostrils flared slightly at the mental image of what he was going to do.

“Eden, go upstairs and get into your bathing suit. We are hitting the hot tub.” Josh said in a firm but not threatening voice. He felt like he was going to have to do it that way otherwise she might balk. The object was to get her comfortable in her own skin…and to give him a chance to see her with a lot less clothing on.

So she did not have to time to think about it to much he again said, “Eden…go change, please.”

Josh then left the study. He grabbed some beers and turned the hot tub on to just below scalding. The afternoon air temperature had dropped significantly and there was a chill in the air.

He pulled his t-shirt off but kept his shorts on and climbed into the hot water. He immediately felt relaxed and opened 2 beers, taking a long swallow from one while he waited for the young woman to come down.
 
Eden had a feeling Josh may not have believed what she said, but she didn't blame Josh for that. He was the kind of guy who made sure there were no loop holes, he seemed like a very good man to her. He made her feel comfortable to open up a little bit, which seemed rather nice. But with him slowing down she knew he had a headache it was easy to see that. So when he said he was going to stop for a while, it did not surprise her in the least.

But then she heard what he said and swallowed hard, she did not think she would even use her bathing suite. She had never felt comfortable in her own body, she always saw something no one else did. Rather she was to fat or thin, that she did not have the kind of body men wanted. Which was something she drilled into her head for years, but rather it was true she did not know. Nor did she really want to know, at least right now any way.

She went up to the guest room she was sleeping at and put on her black two piece bikini and looked at her reflection. All she saw was a horrible figure and with her being single she figured perhaps all the guys saw what she did. Though she would never try to hurt herself, she was not one to try and starve herself. No she ate a few small meals every day. Right now it was silent and knew she had to go downstairs, though nervous.

Eden walked down the stairs and was in the darkness for a moment, but when she stepped she noticed he was looking in her direction. So she came out of the darkness, and looked down a little bit. Clearing her throat she felt nervous as all hell about all of this, but she forced herself to look at him. Smiling a little bit though weak, her knees felt like they wanted to knock against each other. But she managed to hide the nervous shaking.

Walking closer she moved her leg stepping into the hot tube and sat across from him, though she tried to cover herself up with her hands. She trusted Josh but she was just the kind of girl who saw ugly where a man could see beautiful. She noticed how white she was, she did not have a tan and didn't notice it till now. Though she pretty much keeps herself clothed never showing any kind of skin, her way of just getting by in the world.
 
Josh sensed her presence. He was looking for her to come down and then saw a very subtle movement in the shadows.

The sun had completely set and now only some very dim lights shined around the hot tub.

He heard her clear her throat. He knew she was nervous as hell.

He noticed she did not even look up at him as she padded barefoot to the hot tub. She then did a quick glance, to check if he was watching her, and she did her best put on smile.

Once into the hot tub she tried to cover herself, as though she were naked.

"Eden, take your arms away from your body. Put them on the side of the tub."
Josh could tell she really did not want to do that.

"Eden, look at me."
He waited until her eyes came up.
"Look me in the eyes, Eden."
A hesitation, but then she did as he had directed.

"Eden, you are a very beautiful woman." Josh gave a genuine smile at her

"Now come over here, by me." The firm voice again. He just thought this frightened young woman would bolt at high speed out of the place if he hesitated.
 
She did as he asked of her though she was still not comfortable with her body, even when he said she was beautiful. That he wanted her to look him in the eyes, which was easier said then done with her. She was a shy girl she may talk a big game but she honestly had no confidence, no one ever told her she was beautiful accept her parents. Though she loved her parents dearly, they did not count. All parents were suppose to say things like that, least the parents that had a heart. Which was rare and sad.

But she moved over beside him as she let her arms rest against the tub, her face a little red from blushing. But she did the best that she could, sighing shaking her head a bit. "I am just not use to this, I am nervous though I am not afraid of you since by the way you look at me you wouldn't hurt me. But still I am not use to hanging around men" She said making sure that he knew she wasn't afraid of him. Since she wasn't and that was something she would never lie about, that was for damn sure.
 
Josh watched as she moved to beside of him. The image of the water running in rivulets across her creamy skin was so erotic to him.

"I am just not use to this, I am nervous though I am not afraid of you since by the way you look at me you wouldn't hurt me.

"It's ok Eden, you are doing fine. Now come here." Josh took her shoulders and moved her to between his legs. He then turned her so her back and shoulders were facing him.
He then began massaging her shoulders, digging his thumbs into her shoulders.

Next Josh moved her wet hair to over her left shoulder.

He leaned in, so that his naked chest was against her back.

In her ear he whispered, "Happy Valentines Day, Eden"
 
Eden smiled by what he was doing to her and it was nice, though when he began to rub out the kinks in her neck it helped her relax a lot more. Smiling a little bit as she closed her eyes, feeling his bare back against her own. She opened up her blue eyes and smiled a bit more, but then she heard what he said. She had no idea it was Valentines Day, since she never had a boyfriend she never needed to celebrate it. Which was strange on her end but she just didn't care, not until Josh came into her life.

"Happy Valentines Day Josh" She said softly.
 
He soon felt the tension dissipate from her.

He reached back and got her beer and handed it to her.

Then he wrapped his left arm around her and pulled her back to him so that her back was resting on his chest.

The 2 of them just floated in the roiling hot water. They did not talk and the only sound was the water.

Josh felt his manhood harden with arousal. Well, he did have a tight, tender 19 year old body against his. His body was just responding.

But Josh knew it was not going to happen tonight, if ever.

This was an exercise in getting the young woman used to his touch.
He drained his beer, then set the bottle on the edge.

He next wrapped his right arm around Eden, just like his left one, to form a tight hug. He pulled her into him.

His right hand went up and he gently pulled her head back until it rested on his chest.
Then he allowed his hand to drop to the water, then under the water until it cupped her left breast.

He gently kissed the top of her head.
 
The more he touched her the more she enjoyed him, closing her eyes as he had it where she was relaxed. It actually felt really nice, to be held by a man. She missed her hugs from her parents, though she had never had the hug where the guy wasn't family. Closing her eyes as everything began to fall into motion. She felt his warmth, and heard the nothingness that was a defining silence something she was not thrilled about. But she actually made due with it, so she enjoyed it smiling.

Thinking about everything however, Eden began to wonder if he ever had a young girlfriend. Eden knew she was only nineteen. But she had been an adult for two years going on three, and being born on Christmas day was different. She had the best holiday that was for sure, twice as many gifts she would get. Which made her really smile, she could hear the way he was breathing. And his heart beating loudly.
 
Josh then allowed his hand to come off of her breast. His finger tips trailed down her stomach. When they reached the waist band of the bikini bottoms he stopped.

"Eden, we are going to have to break this up. I am getting real fresh now and I know I shouldn't." He said

When she looked up, he chuckled. She really had no idea what she was doing to him.

"Eden, you are getting me aroused. You didn't do anything wrong. It's just that your body against mine is causing...some issues."

He allowed his right hand to move from the waist band of her bikini to the inside of her right thigh, very close to the apex but not contacting it.

"Eden, are you feeling it as well? Aroused?" Josh asked
 
She heard what he said she had no idea he thought of her that way, he didn't really know her. But perhaps what some people believe in. The love at first sight thing, perhaps it was real. When he asked her if she felt aroused she nodded to him sheepishly. No point in lying since his touch was giving her goosebumps. It was nice to be able to relax and let him do what it was he wanted to do with her or to her. Her heart in her throat as her stomach was in knots, this experience was something she never felt.

Eden was happy that all seemed to be going fine, closing her eyes as she kept her eyes closed to be able to feel what he was doing to her better. It caused her nipples to get harder so it was easy to see he turned her on. "Why shouldn't you? Love at first love can happen, and don't throw out how old you are mattering. Since it doesn't "She said in a friendly but loving tone. She sipped her beer relaxing, she knew it not good to mix booze with a hot tub but she wasn't afraid she never passed out.
 
Josh continued to rub the inside of her thigh, and his cock continued to swell.

He loosened his grip on her chest and brought his right hand up. As he did he slowly dragged his middle finger along her crotch.

"I don't know about you, but I feel better."

Josh climbed out of the tub, the water ran off of his hard body. The shorts he had worn were now wet and stuck to his thighs tightly.

He offered a hand to Eden to help her out of the tub.

When she was out of the hot tub, he pulled her in tight, so she could feel his erection pressing into her.

He quickly pulled her long, wet hair, forcing her head back and causing her lips to part.
He took her bottom lip between his and sucked on it for an instant.

The he fiercely kissed deep into her mouth, his tongue pressing against hers.

He broke the kiss and stepped away.

"My God...your are amazing to look at." He allowed his eyes to take in her now hard nipples. He continued now the flat of her stomach to her crotch.

He then looked back into her eyes.

"You are one of the most beautiful woman I have ever seen...do not forget that."

With that he turned and went up stairs to his room.
 
Eden was surprised by how open he was but she actually enjoyed it, and frankly right now it was to the point where it was going to be just fine. She felt the grip on her relax a bit and it made her smile even more. It was nice to spend so much time with him, it was something she had not had a chance to do. Her eyes looking around as it was to the point life was simple enough for her, the way he touched her sent shocking results to her body. She smiled a little bit enjoying the feel of his wet body.

But then he pulled her into a kiss, and it shocked the hell out of her. But she closed her eyes and enjoyed But right now it was really nice, it was the kind of thing that made her feel at peace. She felt him opening up her mouth and it made her moan as he kissed her deeply, her body reacting to him. If she hadn't been already wet from the hot tube she would be wet right now because of the pleasure he was giving her. And it shocked her by how she seemed rather content to be kissed by him.

Then he pulled away and she looked into his eyes, and smiled with everything he said to her. Him saying she was beautiful meant a lot to me. And frankly she was rather happy about it, but he pulled away and headed to his room. She sighed a little bit, she went into the guest room and began to get out of her two piece, she dried her hair and slipped into her black robe. Thinking of a million things, she looked down wanting to be with Josh but she was not the kind of girl who threw herself to people.
 
Josh had gone up stairs and showered. He could not help himself and paid extra attention to soaping up his cock and balls. But he did not pleasure himself. He was going to save that for her.

Pulling on some clean boxer briefs he stretched out in the bed.

He wondered if Eden had ever masturbated. Maybe they would work on that tomorrow.

He slept for a little while but then was awake and could not fall back asleep. He tried turning on the TV in his bedroom but found nothing to interest him.

Then his thoughts turned back to why they even came to the cabin. He decided he would go down to the office and maybe read some more of the reports.

He padded out into the hall in only his underwear.

He stopped at the door to her bedroom, and silently opened it to look in.

She appeared to be asleep.

He closed the door and went down to the office.

He started reading the investigators report.

The detective had stated that the defendant had arrived at the scene while the investigation was still ongoing. He asked her some questions:

Q- How did you find out your husband had been murdered?

A- I was notified by my housekeeper Consuela, she works part time at the motel.

Q- Did you have anything to do with the death of your husband and the girl?

A- I loved my husband…

Q- Who was the female in there with him?

A- His little slut girlfriend, I guess?

Q- You Guess?

A- Yeah

Josh continued reading on down. When asked who she thought might have done she answered, “The girl’s father, maybe…”

Josh stopped and thought about everything. That was actually a good theory, based on what they had learned about the wounds.

Maybe they should at least explore the idea.

But the one thing that was coming through was that the defendant sure wasn’t broke up over the death of her husband.

Josh started to get a chill so he spun the chair around and went towards his room to get a t-shirt.
 
Eden had fallen asleep and did not even realize it but being as young as she was, and being as active. She never needed much so when she only had three hours sleep, she started to wake up. She sat up seeing it was very early in the AM about three or so, she did not think Josh would be up. She got up and stretched a little. She let out a soft hum but not loud enough to wake anyone if you were asleep. Her eyes darted around the room, smiling a little bit as everything just seemed so nice in that moment.

She decided to start the morning early and grabbing her robe she went into the bathroom, she shut the door not realizing it wasn't latched. She got into the warm shower, and began to wash herself. Feeling the warmth of the water, smelling the soap on her body it felt really nice. She was thinking of how much time she spent being alone. She was lonely but never would show it, she knew better. She figured Josh wouldn't be interested since he liked to be a loner, but everyone got lonely sometime.

Eden could not help but remember the kiss last night it was powerful, it was deep and putting her gentle fingers up to her lips. Rubbing her slender lips and smiled a little b it, her true first kiss. Though she wondered if it was just his way of trying to get her to loosen up. He did not seem the type that would try and hurt her, betray her. That was part of the reason she did not date, afraid of the man betraying her. She knew not all men were the same, she just hoped Josh would show her the way.

She was not one to touch herself she never saw the point of it, she tried to get herself to come to an orgasm once. But it didn't work she got no pleasure out of it what so ever, perhaps because it was half hearted and the loneliness just got a hold of her. But she opened up her eyes not realizing that her body could be seen from the door. It may have been just the outline, but it was easy to see her features. She felt safe in the warm water, running her fingers over her neck as she rubbed her neck.

Thinking about the case she began to wonder if she was doing any good here, she read what everything that she could. Something seemed to be missing, her mind went to the questions and answers. The hostility in the woman's answers showed much more there. She opened up her blue eyes as she rung out her hair and she got out of the bathroom, towled her hair to get it dry and slipped on a clean robe which was silk but dark blue. She saw Josh there and smiled at him, blushing a bit as she closed the bedroom door a bit and sighed.
 
He got his t-shirt and, still only wearing his underwear, went back down to the office.

He grabbed his seat and again turned to the interview with the defendant.

She continued to answer the questions in the same cryptic manner until told that they believed she did it. She stopped talking at that time and there had been no further contact. Until she had been arrested.

The evidence to secure the warrant was the blood stain on her clothing and the circumstantial evidence that continued to pile up. Josh felt like he could convict her. She was actually making it easy for him by her actions or in-actions. But Josh was not in the business of convicting innocent people of crimes they did not commit. He wanted the killer. The evidence he was looking at did not make him believe she had killed the pair. She might have killed them, but the evidence did not show it.

Josh decide he wished Eden was in the room. One, he wanted to look at her body. It was a work of art, for sure. But most importantly he wanted to bounce ideas off of her. She seemed really good at brainstorming and jump starting his thinking.
 
Eden was the kind of girl who was always thinking, she had her hair up in a bun and out of her face. She decided to go see what he was up to, still in her dark blue robe. It covered her so it would be hard to tell she wore nothing under it, she walked down the steps as she felt the fire in the fireplace it was nice and warm. It was how she liked it and right now anything was nice, she smiled a little bit seeing Josh hard at work. She did not know if disturbing him was a good idea, but she just went on ahead.

"Hey you ever sleep?" She said softly and sat down beside him, she looked at what he was looking at. She read the paper and sighed "The woman they interviewed here the wife, she had motive. Her husband is worth millions dead, when she said slut girlfriend means she knew her husband was cheating on her. A woman that calls a woman something nasty like slut or bitch means a deep personal rage issue there" She said simply. Sitting back and relaxing, smiling at Josh with a whole hearted look.
