OOC: This is a private and closed thread for myself and MorgaineLaFay. As the story progresses, there may be need for additional players. Please read and enjoy.
This will be based on a series of stories that Morgaine and myself began and posted to Lit, so some of it may sound familiar to those have read our material.
ICC:
The late afternoon sun beamed through the heavy horizontal blinds that crossed the windows of the old Police Building. Detective Logan sat back in his old wooden desk chair, his large feet perched on his desk. The messiest desk in the precinct, something of which he was particularly proud. Logan was the antithesis of his partner, relaxed almost to a fault. His wavy hair always seemed to fly in every direction. His shirts fell from his large frame having never been ironed since he carried them from the store. Yet despite his disheveled appearance Logan had a rugged boyish charm about him. Something that also drove his partner mad. He leaned forward to start his old metal oscillating fan. The fan creaked around blowing up the corners of the pages of late reports that cluttered his desk. He sat back once again and loosened his tie. It was early in the season yet, but the temperature was already beginning to reach sweltering heights.
LOGAN! Capt Pierce’s voiced belted through the open room of detectives. LOGAN! Where the HELL is LaFay? Capt Pierce was a sly man with a big voice. He usually choose to remain behind his very neatly arranged desk in the security of his glass walled office and simply scream for his troops attention.
Logan barely moved, but yelled his own response. Dunno Capt! Not my day to watch her!
You’re her partner, Detective Logan. Pierce yelled from right next to Logan, startling the detective and slapping Logan’s feet from the desk. That means everyday is your day to watch her.
Logan sat up in his chair slightly and looked up at his superior. Uh no actually, me and the guys drew straws and Friday’s are Johnson’s day, but his wife is having a baby so he’s a little pre-occupied. Logan beamed his patented smile, and received no return from Pierce. Al though a few snickers could be heard through the room.
Is that wit, Logan? Are you being funny now? You see once I got my bars, Pierce tapped his Captains bars on his shoulder proudly, an annoying habit he enjoyed when barking at the detectives. Capt. Pierce was the only one on the entire floor of this building who still wore his dress blue uniform to work. I lost my sense of humor. Now, where the HELL IS LAFAY!
I think she went to go buy some doughnuts for the traffic boys.
Find her, and bring her back Logan. I told her not to follow that case and I know she is.
Oh no, she dropped it. No worries there Capt. She dropped that case.
Bullshit Logan, and you know I know it. You keep her off that case! It is in the hands of the FBI and we’re not to touch it. You’re job relies on your ability to keep LaFay from poking around and getting in the FBI’s way! Pierce attempted to wheel around on his heels and storm off, but he tripped half way to it. He stumbled back to his office instead and slammed his door shut, muttering various curses along the way.
Logan shook his head haphazardly. He knew getting LaFay to drop any case was damned near impossible, but she was really attached to catching this particular perp. She had it in her brain, this was the guy who had broken into her childhood home and killed her sister during a foiled burglary attempt. The single incident that drove LaFay’s entire police career. He knew secretly she had been looking for this guy ever since. He had a particular MO and LaFay had a sixth sense about it.
The ding of the elevator chimed through the large open room. Many of the detectives were on their way home for the weekend, Logan was waiting for LaFay. A chorus of “see ya’s” and “good luck’s” from the guys as the office slowly cleared. Then Logan heard the familial clomp of LaFay’s boots as she strode confidently across the room from the elevator. She sat purposefully at her desk, nodded to Logan and instantly went to the phone.
