A Cities Storm

Chapter 7

Unedited

"I... I've never been asked before. I don't know what to say." I said looking into his eyes that brightened for a second.

" I think you should say yes." Max whispered in a husky tone as a smirk played on his lips. He leaned forward as I breathed the word "Ok." and our lips meet again. Sparks and tingles is all I felt when our lips touched like we were meant to be.

Max and I spent all weekend together going sight seeing and to many different restaurants. In short it was Amazing. But it was short lift, training had to be finished.

----
I thought of the previous week and how in months Maxie (my nickname for him) and I came to be a dating couple. Ugh but nows not the time I have a case to study, I mentally say.
------------------------
CASE FILE:
LACY MONRO
AGE: 24
GENDER: FEMALE
HEIGHT: '5'6
WEIGHT: 134
CASE INFO.;
MISSING (believed to be abducted)
Reported missing 11/17/14
-----------------------------

This is all I really have to go off of, she is still missing after like 3 months. It's my job to find and rescue her well if she's not dead. I don't know if she's alive but I do know many cops have gone missing while trying to find her. That's a big risk, me taking on this case, because I could disappear. What would my parents do? Max? I'm not sure but I need to bring peace to Lacy's parents.

"Max come here. Please." I yell from my dining room. I grab the case files and sort them by what is most recent.
"Paige? What do you need baby?" He asked while walking in. I grabbed the files real quick and turned to him.

"Maxie what case did they give you for the final assessment?" I asked nervously. "They gave me the missing five year old case, um Sarah Montana. Why? What did they give you?" He asked his smile disappearing.

"Haha... um. TheygavemetheLacyMonrocase." I said all together and nervously.

"What?" He asked "Slowly this time babe." he continued.

***** Max's Pov

She took a deep breath and exhaled before continuing, which worried me.
"Um.. They gave me the Lacy Monro case." she said sighing with relief at the end.
I looked at her in horror, they couldn't have,how could they possibly think she's ready for this?

"Maxie? What's wrong?" She said grabbing my arm. I continue to stare into space as she pulled on my arm. "Maximus!" She yells my full first name and pulls down extremely hard on my arm.

"Answer me now! What's wrong?!" Paige says to me sternly. I have no choice do I? I ask myself. Nope.

"I'm worried. Okay, I'm worried I'll lose you like all those other detectives. I love you and I don't want anything to happen to you okay?" I say quietly looking at her and cupping her face in my hands.

"Max... I love you too. But this is..." I cut her off by pulling her face the rest of the way to mine and kiss her. I kiss her for us, I kiss her because I'm afraid, afraid I'll lose her if she gets too involved.

~~~~~~~ Paige's Pov

It's been a week since that night and i still repeat the words he said. I don't want him to go through that, him losing me, it's not fair to him.

Anyway I have found a lead and I'm so excited! I got a tip that Lacy was involved with the Castela mob. I think that her boyfriend was or still is part of the mob.
I'm actually going to interrogate him today. I'm kinda nervous but I can't be that way later so.

THE INTERROGATION:

"Mr.Cesela, do you know why you're here?" I asked monotone while standing up.

"Umm... I'm assuming it's because of my dead girlfriend, Lacy." He spoke back nonchalantly.

"Your right." I speak slowly turning around, " And I think your the reason she went missing!" I yell slamming my hands on the metal table making him flinch.

"There's evidence that you were there," I say getting my cool, " your fingerprints were on her bag and her blood was on your shirt." I yell getting emotional that he cares nothing about her. Max would care for me if I went missing.

"What where are your connections to the Castela mob." I continue and smirk as I see him shift in his seat. Perfect.

------------ Max's Pov

I watched behind the tinted glass of the interrogation room. Paige is getting to him I can tell. She was yelling at him earlier, I was proud of her when he shifted uncomfortably in the seat. That's my girl getting him to talk. I'm going to take her out to celebrate after our shifts up. Plus it's Valentines day so I have to do something. This is great he is talking.

------------ Paige's pov

I got to him he said that he was a drug dealer for the mob and said he was there but he couldn't do anything and it was all because he didn't pay their cut. I feel bad that she and so many others are or maybe dead because of his reluctance. I'm going to solve this and I'll go to hell and back if I have to.

Dinner with Max

We went to the first restaurant he took me where we had our first kiss. Dinner
was great I had a sirloin and some grilled shrimp.
We sat and talked for ever;
"So how is the case going?" Max asked.
"Great! I have a lead, as you know. How's yours?" I ask
"Oh I know where the little girl is." He said happily.
"That's great, but you have to rescue her don't you? From the kidnappers?." I ask.
"Yea, but let's not talk about work." he said getting something out of his pocket.
"Max I.." I try but he stops me, " I know you didn't ask for anything but still.... I got you a little something." he said opening a box that had a blue and silver diamond wristlet.
"Max," I gasp, " it's gorgeous." i say holding my arm out so he can put it on.
"No my sweet sweet Paige you are gorgeous. This wristlet is a mere speck of beauty compared to you." he said just as the waiter came with the bill. I grabbed it and said quickly it's on me and handed him my card. Nodding he ran off, "Paige I was going to do that." Max said irritated as I chuckled. "Too bad." I said getting up.

Once outside I giggled when Max pushed me against the wall where we kissed a while ago.
"Max..." I whispered before his lips crashed down on mine. The kiss was one of the sweetest that we have had. I refused when he licked my bottom lip, but again he had his ways. He pulled me up causing me to gasp, but allowing him an advantage. He slipped his tongue in and explored my mouth until my phone buzzed and pulled us about of our moment.

"Hello," I say as I catch my breath, " You are next miss lover girl." a rough husky voice said as I took a sharp breath. I quickly look around and see a black SUV and gasp in horror.

Oh no......
