Decided to go ahead and get this book started since one of my old ones will be ending soon.

Enjoy!

The alarm on my night stand buzzed over and over. I laid still with my eyes shut contemplating if I should hit the snooze button for the 10th time. Opening one eye, I glanced over at the clock to see what time it was.

6:57AM

Shit!

I sat up and swung my legs over to the side of my California King Size bed. Rubbing the sleep out of my eyes, then I looked out at the view of the city. New York City. It's not where I'm from but I needed to be somewhere to make my money. I'm from Virginia, born and raised until I turned 20, I moved here and haven't been back home since then.

Looking back at the clock again, I immediately got up. I was late as hell for work and I didn't want to hear my captains mouth.

Oh yeah, I work for the NYPD. Started as a uni (cop in a uniform). Did that for about 2 years while I got my degree in forensic science, once I completed that I got promoted to a Detective, I worked in homicide but that shit give you nightmares. Now I'm a lead detective in narcotics. I wouldn't trade my job for the world.

After taking a quick shower and throwing on whatever I could find, I grabbed my gun and badge and headed out the door. Being a police officer keeps you away from having a normal life, I'm barely home, I can barely find time to go visit my mom back in VA. All I do is work, sleep every blue moon, then work some more.

One day I'll take some time for myself but right now I got criminals to catch.

Pulling into the parking lot of the precinct, I grabbed everything I needed and quickly got out, rushed inside and jumped on an elevator. I'm almost an hour late. I had interrogations to do and a bunch of shit to catch up on. Look like I'll be here all night again.

I walked off the elevator and over to my desk.

"5, 4, 3, 2, 1." My partner Aaron counted cause he knew what was coming next. My desk phone rang.

Taking a deep breath I picked it up. "Brooks."

"Get in here, now!" Captain yelled.

I slammed the phone back on the receiver. "Damn man."

After putting away my stuff I headed to his office.

"Wassup Cap." I said.

"Have a seat."

I sat down in the chair and prepared for the all the yelling he was about to do.

"Between you and that damn partner of yours I don't know who's going to make me go crazy first. I asked you to be here on time." He said.

"Captain, before last night I was up for 48 hours. I overslept it was a mistake, stop tripping."

"Oh I ain't started tripping yet. Don't be surprised when I fire your ass."

I laughed. "And how many times have I heard that shit. I'm the best detective around here so I'm really not worried."

"Don't be so cocky Brooks."
