after pizza
as reply to On the Cold
Joey wiped the curst off his lips then dusted his fingers onto the tray. And then he wiped the grease off onto napkin that reminded him of paper towel.
For a moment he wished he was back home. What was he doing here?
That feeling quickly disappeared when he went outside. It's...

His first name was Cash. It was not a nickname. His mom had given him the name during a different time. People didn't call moneyΒ

funeral home

The man was obviously a detective. Joey could tell by his demeanor. His emotions weren't shook like the rest of the folk. No. He was here strictly on business.
"I'd rather not."
The man pulled out a badge.
"That's completely fine. But it would help us maybe figure out what happened. We actually...

Joey left his gun on the dresser before heading out. He had thought about bringing it. But why bring a gun to a funeral? Was that even legal, he wondered.
He had bought this gun with his friends during the weekend of Joey's 21st birthday party. It had made them feel...

She was unsure whether this would end well. But she had to look.
The computer ran Windows. Elena had only used Apple since college. She found it charming how a subset of boomers only usedΒ windows . Tolerated it's terrible user experience. Using the computer took her back to freshman year....

Take me home, Denver. Take me home. Where I belong.

Elena did nothing but work and work on the case after that.
In fact, even a work she would perform her duties mindlessly. Her brain was thinking about the case.Β
She had more than a binder now. Needed a place to herself. Decided to move out. Candace didn't understand. She understood...
