On the screen, Molly got up from her desk and moved to the door. She opened it and stepped just outside her office.
From the other security cameras, he could see her coworkers doing the same.
Their supervisor, Stephanie, was standing in the center of the room talking and then she waved to the women in the office before she walked out on what looked to be three or four-inch heels.
"Huh."
Before Molly stepped back into her office, she looked up at the camera and smiled.
A real Molly smile.
With that, she walked back to her desk and sat down.
His phone rang again, but he touched the red icon and put in his earpiece instead and spoke.
"Jeez, Walker. It's like we're best pals and you just want to call to shoot the shit. We're friends, but we're not that kind of friends."
"Well, something sweet crawled up your butt since our last little chat."
Jacob laughed. "You should try it sometime, Walker. Having a beautiful woman sleep in your arms makes for a good night's rest."
"If all you're doing is sleeping, Jacob." Walker almost snorted a laugh. "You're not doing it right."
"We'll talk about that later." He paused, thinking of Molly and how special she made him feel. "Actually, no. I'm not going to talk about her with you."
"What the actual fuck, Romeo?"
Jacob stood up to stretch his legs. "Shut it, asshole. Don't jinx me like that."
"Jinx you? Really, J? Romeo is like the OG in romance, right? What's wrong with that?"
Jacob looked up at the ceiling and remembered that he couldn't kick his friend’s ass. At least not at that moment.
"Romeo," he quietly informed the other detective, "dies in the play."
"Oh? Shit."
Jacob could almost picture Walker shaking his head.
"In the movie too?"
He started counting so he didn’t kill his friend.

"Yes, in the movie, too. I'll get you a copy of the play."
"Fuck you, Jacob. You can waste your money, but I'm not going to read a play."
Jacob could almost hear Walker smile. And that wasn't a good thing.
"Then again, my kitchen table is rocking a bit. How many pages is the play?"
"Keep your head in the game, asshole."
