The City Of Astan

Louis

I swallow and sit up a bit, "I-I doubt I have a job anymore... A murder took place at my apartment. That doesn't look good.."

Sam

I sigh, "Let's go see then. You need to start walking anyways. It'll help you're torso heal."

Louis

My heart leaps in my throat and my anxiety returns, the thought of facing all my coworkers after such a thing happened right under my nose.

"O-okay," I swallow, avoiding eye contact.

Sam

I nod, helping him up and leading him out, "C'mon."

Louis

I let her help me and tense as we start walking, trying not to seem as helpless as I am.

Sam

We get to the police station and I go to the counter, leaning against it while looking at the Sherrif.

The Sherrif looks at Louis, confused, before sighing and sending him to his desk. Wow. It's like nothing happened.

Sighing, I look at him, "C-Can I have a job?"

He studies me before checking his files, "Have any experiences with weapons?" He asks, "Justice?"

I nod, "Yeah. I used to be a police officer in the next town over," I lie.

He nods, "How are you with guns?"

"Great," I say, "Like I said, I'm experienced."

He sighs, handing me paperwork, "Fill that out and you get the job."

I smile and nod. Well that was easy.

Louis

S-something's wrong. This shouldn't be so easy.

I sit at my desk and compose myself, not sure how I concealed my bloostained shirt.

I shouldn't be moving. It's gonna cause hell later.

Sam

I fill out the paperwork before walking in and standing infront of Louis, "See?" I smile, "He knows that... It wasn't you. You're the one that got shot."

I sense the tension and I sigh, "I got the job. We'll be working together. Well...at the same place. And you're wounds look pretty good. They're already healing. You should be up and moving," I crouch infront of it, resting my chin on the surface while flashing a smile.

Louis

I flash a smile at her and nod, "It still hurts."

Sam

I nod, "It will for a few days. I'mma go get my uniform on, alright?"

Louis

I nod and look down at my work.

Sam

I go to the bathroom and change, walking back out and wrapping my arms around him from behind, "I look so freaking kick a*s, don't I?" I chuckle.

Spoiler

Ugh. Just either let it go or make it a ploy to catch Sam. Whatever works.

Louis

I flash a smile and look at her, wondering how she'd gotten in so easy.
