deadly lies

chapter 13

I walk into the jail cell. Derek's laid on the bed in the corner of the room. I unlock the cell, walking in.

"Hi" I sit next to him. He sits up. "I got you a burrito instead.. your favourite" I pass it to him. "Thankyou" he smiles.

I move over to him, wrapping my arms around his waist. I rest my head on his chest. He wraps his arm around me, using the other to eat with.

"I'm so sorry derek" I whisper tearfully. "Its okay.. have some burrito" he moves it to my lips. I giggle, wiping a tear that fell down my cheek. I take a bite.

"I can still turn myself in" I whisper. "No" he whispers. "But-" I play with my fingers nervously. He feeds me another bite of the burrito.

"I'm really sorry derek" I say tearfully. "Stop saying that" he says. He kisses my cheek.

"I have to go.. I'm not really supposed to be in here but my boss said I could stay for a few minutes" I pull away slowly.

I kneel onto the bed infront of him. I wipe the burrito sauce off of his lips, I suck it off my thumb.

I put my hands on his cheeks, kissing him deeply. He puts his hand on my waist, kissing me back passionately.

I pull away slowly. I look into his eyes. I kiss him again softly. "I'm going to figure out what happened that day" I whisper. "Get me out of here and don't get yourself locked up in the meantime" he whispers.

I wrap my arms around his neck. He hugs me tight. "Go" he whispers. "I'll bring you more food in a bit.. what would you like?" I ask, walking away. "Pizza!" He says enthusiastically. "Okay" I chuckle.

"I love you.. I'll be back in a bit" I lock the cell. "I love you too" he says. "Get some sleep.. it'll make time go faster" I say. He waves at me. I leave.

I take a breath as I walk over to my desk. I sit down. I rest my head on the desk.

"What are you doing?" I hear my boss ask. I look up at him. "Um" I say. "You and I both know that your stupid fiancée didn't do it, so you need to find out who did and why he's lying" he says.

"I don't know what to do" I say. "You know exactly what to do.. you need to question everyone again.. get everyones alibis.. find out what you missed the first time" he says. I sigh but nod in agreement.

I pick up the phone and the files, calling Matthew's friends, family and neighbours, telling them what time they need to come in to be questioned again.

The first one arrives. Its his sister. I question her. Nothing. Strong alibi. His brother shows up. Nothing. His mom. Nothing. His dad.

"You were with your wife?" I ask. "Yes" he says. "Matthew's mother?" I ask. "Yes" he says. Something. "Matthew's mother was at the nail salon" I say.

"I was with her.. I paid" he says. "You have a bank statement to prove it?" I ask. He stays silent. "Right" I say.

"That's all I'd like from you today thankyou.. you can go" I say, standing up. He gets up too. He leaves. I walk out.

I check the time. Crap, it's been two hours since the last time I've seen derek. I leave the precinct.

I come back with a pizza and take it to him. I open the cell. "Hi baby, I got your pizza" I walk in. "I thought you forgot about me" he says. He's laid on the bed.

I put the pizza next to him and sit between his legs, resting my head back on his chest. "I'm sorry, I was questioning people about the case" I say.

"You smell" I say. "I've been wearing the same scrubs for ages now" he says. "I'll bring you some clothes in tomorrow" I say. "Thanks" he says.

"Did you get some sleep?" I ask. "Not much.. but I wrote my name on the wall" he points at it. He must have done it with a rock. I chuckle softly. "Well done baby" I say sarcastically. He grins.

I open the pizza box. I hold a slice to his lips. He eats it. He doesn't like the crust so I eat it.

"When I get out of here" he puts his hands on my cheeks. I look into his eyes. "I need you to burst into my work again to arrest me.. cuff me and take me home in your police car" he says.

"A sex thing?" I ask. "Yes" he says. I giggle. "Anything for you.. kinky" I grin. He chuckles. I kiss him softly.

I feed him another slice of pizza. I eat the crust. "Do you want a slice?" He asks. "No thankyou" i say. He closes the box, putting it aside.

He pulls me onto his lap so I'm straddling him. I play with his curls as he pushes his face into my neck. He wraps his arms around my waist.

I pull my hands away. "No.. play with my hair" he says. I smile, running my fingers through his hair. He kisses my neck.

He lays back onto the bed. I lay next to him, cuddled into him. "Stay until I fall asleep" he says. "Okay" I say.

"Der if you need anything then you'll get the security guard to call me, yeah?" I say. "Okay" he mumbles. "I mean it.. if you need anything at all" I say. "Okay" he says.

He cuddles Into his pillow. I kiss his head. I play with his hair gently until he falls asleep. I slowly pull away from him.

I leave. I sigh as I walk out and see the nearly empty office. I walk to my desk. I go to pick up my keys. I cant just leave him here. I lock my things in my desk and walk back to the cell.

I unlock it, walking in. I undo the first few buttons on my shirt and take off my belt. I lock the cell again behind me.

I walk over to him, climbing next to him. Its a small bed so my leg is draped over him and my arms are wrapped around him.

"You're back" he wraps his arms around me. "Mhm" I cuddle my face into his neck. I soon fall asleep.
