I would cry whenever I watched this one scene in Mulan 2.

"Davin!"

"Dr. Davenport?"

"I thought I told you not to let Wilden in?"

"I didn't. He must have walked past when I went to the boy's room."

Nicole sighed, shaking her head. "Goddammit! Can't even catch a break here at work."

"Nicole..." Davin stood up, walking around the front desk to stand beside the woman. "Is the situation that bad? I mean, do you need help dealing with that guy?"

She looked up at him, her arms crossed in front of her and a slightly helpless look on her face. "What am I, or what are we supposed to do? He's a cop, and you know how work politics goes; they'll just tell me to get over myself. They'll tell me that he's a good guy, and a cop nonetheless, with no record. That either I'm exaggerating or I'm extremely bitter because we were dating and he dumped me, so now I'm coming after his job. Or maybe I've been spending too much time in here with all these bodies...it's all fucking--"

"Hey, calm down!" Davin interrupted the frantic woman, pulling her in for a hug. His voice was stern but only because she needed someone right that moment. He'd known her for a while, and even though the job brought some great deal of stress at times, he'd never seen her react as such.

Nicole remained still for a moment, slowing her breathing back to normal. "Thank you, Davin," she whispered, pulling back to look up at him. "You're one of the good ones, you know that?"

"So I've been told," he chuckled with a quick wink, taking a step back to lean on the counter with his elbows.

"I think I'm going to step out for a minute," Nicole went on, taking a quick look outside through the glass. "I'm not gonna be long, just a few blocks away to grab something at the store. Page me the second that body comes in if I'm not already here, please."

"Of course. Don't worry, I'll hold down the fort."

Davin went back around the desk to his seat, and Nicole started heading to her office to grab her wallet and the keys to her car. She would welcome the fresh air for a bit; not that she had been in the office too long but it would do her good after her run-in with Wilden.

Just got back from watching Escape Room, and I loved it. Ending was a bit rushed, but otherwise an extremely entertaining movie for me.

Wow, never heard that one being pulled before. Quite the moment I bet!

@The Harbinger of Ferocity

That's very impressive, congrats!

The closest I've gotten was in high school when I received a presidential award for academic excellence. It's a piece of paper with Bush's signature stamped on it, but at the time it was a big deal to me.

@Foster I'm not that bad. Okay, maybe so, but that's the fun part!

Recently when I went to a bar, I think someone may have put something in my drink. I made it home just fine, but don't remember chunks of my trip on the highway. I only had like 2 or 3 drinks so I know I wasn't drunk. I had company and there was a cop around, so maybe they were a deterrent.

It wasn't until two or three years ago that I was made aware of the lyrics to that song. I'd heard it before, of course, but it simply sounded like a catchy tune to me.

I apparently mishear a lot of lyrics, all day everyday.

I can do my own thing as there's enough drama to keep me entertained, but eventually I'd like my character to be worked into the main plot.

Happy belated new year!

What a week, but I think I'm back on track.

"This weekend works for me; Saturday preferably. I don't think I'm the only one who considers Sunday a day for relaxation either alone or with family or friends." Jenna followed James out of the vehicle, closing the front passenger door. "I'm good with 10 AM if that works for you," she concluded as she started making her way to the front of the house. Once they were both in the front porch, James knocked on the door. There was no answer, so he knocked once more, this time announcing their presence.

“Boston Police! Please open up!”

Nothing else but silence. It was then that he decided to take a look inside and noticed a body lying in a pool of blood. James let his partner know right away, and Jenna hen withdrew her firearm, ready to burst in through the front door. But James simply tried the doorknob and they were able to step inside.

Jenna noticed the deceased woman on the floor and gave her partner a few moments to check the body. She'd lost a lot of blood, and it came as no surprise to her that she was a goner.

"I'll take the upstairs," she advised her partner after he made his call over the radio, and she started heading up. The barrel of her gun was aimed directly ahead of her. She got to the upstairs hall and found a bedroom immediately to her right. Or what she thought was a bedroom. When she went in, circling around to properly conduct her sweep as to not be caught off guard, Jenna noticed that she was in a home office. It was the typical setup: desk, chair, computer, some storage furniture, wall decor, and the closet. She quickly opened the closet doors with one hand as the other held her gun in front of her, but the space was mostly empty save for some garment bags and a few boxes off to the corner.

The rest of the upstairs sweep went about the same. Whenever she would finish up a room, Jenna would tell her partner over the radio. She checked the bathroom, the room that followed, which was set up as a secondary bedroom, and the last room on the hall: the master bedroom. The sheets were undone, meaning the poor woman more than likely got up to answer the door and never returned. Jenna also checked the walk-in closet, the personal bathroom, and under the bed. Since any threat of immediate danger was eliminated then, meaning the entire upstairs was cleared, Jenna headed downstairs to rejoin her partner.

It was early in the morning, but Allison hadn't slept much. In fact, she had spent most of the night tossing and turning. It was her brother's reaction, or lack thereof, that had kept her up. A part of her was looking for something more, like being told she was absolutely right in killing their father, or terribly wrong for doing so. Either way, his reaction was underwhelming to say the least. So much, in fact, that it left her dissatisfied...even after the goods they got away with the previous night.

Just as the sun had come up, Allison went to the living room to watch some TV. She kept the volume low as to not awake her brother, but she found herself to be drifting off on the couch so she went back to bed 20 minutes later. She stared at the wall for a while before sleep claimed her.

When she opened her eyes again, Allison quickly sat up in bed. She was having a nightmare but thankfully, the sun was shining bright enough to wake her before the worse of it came. She went out without bothering to get dressed, but she had on her pajama pants and white t-shirt, and she wasn't trying to impress anybody. Allison followed the same routine as every other morning; get the coffee brewing, grab the newspaper from the front porch, and draw the curtains to let some natural light in. She was still a bit groggy and irritable, but breakfast would soon fix that.

She went back to her room to finally make her bed and get dressed. It was then she heard Gabe shuffling around, and she figured he was heading towards the kitchen. She put on some jeans and a long-sleeve blue shirt before she went to the restroom to wash her face.

A while later, Allison went out to join her brother. He wasn't all that talkative the previous night, so it was a start. Allison was listening to what he was saying, up to the point where he raised his voice at her. It took her by surprise, and she simply stood there, stunned, until she found the words.

"I did it for your own fucking good, little brother," she added with a bit of a condescending tone, not bothering to acknowledge his question. It irked her when he acted out of line, and maybe she shouldn't react so poorly, but she couldn't help it.

Allison didn't say anything further though, she simply turned her back to him so she could pour herself some coffee. Gabe eventually addressed her again, after she joined him at the table with neither of them saying anything up that point.

“What are we doing tonight?”

"I think we should lay low for now, maybe some theft here and there. I don't want us drawing too much attention to ourselves. If we make a mistake somewhere, they could pin all of it on us, and then we're royally fucked."

Allison got up again to make herself some toast. She usually wasn't hungry this early in the morning, but for some reason her stomach was growling. She grabbed the last two slices and put them in the toaster. If Gabe didn't want one of them, then she would eat them both.
