It would take an elite strike team to get to the Doctor's floor.
That left him alone in his apartment.
And he didn't like the quiet.
He didn't like it at all.
That didn't use to be the case.
After working his long shifts with Center City PD, he'd come back to his apartment, kick off his shoes, loosen his tie, and put his feet up on the coffee table.
Sometimes with a beer in his hand.
Sometimes with the TV on.
Sometimes, just to tip his head back and close his eyes.
Silence, he remembered his grandmother's voice and her pearls of wisdom, is golden.
Well, it used to be.
Until he had Molly in his apartment.
He liked hearing her move around his place. Loved hearing her quiet breaths while she slept beside him.
Just looking at the couch made him feel antsy.
Picking up his cell phone, he decided to call Kate.
Calling Walker wasn't going to happen. The asshole would get hung up on the wrong parts of his Molly situation. Ever since his brother had fallen head over heels for an officer on the force, Walker saw any hint of romance or love as a problem.
Walker didn't have a problem with a man and a woman getting involved, he just didn't see taking it beyond sex. Having his brother, Roan, and his sister, Kate, fall in love in quick succession made him even more wary of the idea.
So, Jacob dialed Kate even though his situation was a complex mix of emotion and a victim of crime, he knew that Kate would have a better take on the situation.
She was always more easy going to deal with, even if she was in a different wing of Precinct Four.
He dialed Kate's cell phone and sat down on the arm of his sofa.
The phone rang twice before it was picked up.
"'llo?"
Shit.
"Rock? Sorry."
Jacob looked over at the clock, it wasn't all that late.
"I was hoping to talk to Kate. Ah, sorry to wake you."
"Hold on... Kate? Babe? You've got a call."
Oh shit. If she was asleep...
"'ello?"
"Kate, it's Jacob. I'm sorry if I woke you."
