Days at work were always long. Not that Lindsey didn't love her work, but there were the crimescenes that she couldn't get out of her head, the suspects whose clearly fake excuses or alibi's were frankly annoying, and it was just tedious work altogether. As she entered her humble flat, she tossed her jacket onto the apolstered chair near the door, exhausted. She walked over to the couch ready to curl up and go to sleep, although it was only about 8 o'clock at night. She pulled her red flannel throw up to her chin and started to close her eyes when she heard a knock on the door. Annoyed, she got up and went to see who it was.
*hoping for someone else on the RPG to come in here. I guess if I have to make up a character and speak for them, I will, but that will be the last resort*

*I'll come; since I haven't done this private life thing for quite some time. I miss it*
Doreen waited outside Lindsay's door holding a packet of candy. Chocolates, to be exact. She wasn't sure if Lindsay even took chocolates.
The door opened and she saw Lindsay's annoyed face. Feeling a stab of guilt, Doreen grinned sheepishly.
"I got off work early today and I was feeling extremely bored so I decided to come over. I brought chocolates," she added, shaking the little packet a little.
Lindsay smiled an amused smile and let her in.

There were times when Lindsey genuinely missed the piece and quiet of Montana, but she had to admit that the spontaneous way New Yorkers lived amused her, and she couldn't turn down chocolates (no matter how much they would add to her waist). And Doreen was a fun person to be around. She could always postpone sleep another hour. Doreen opened the box of chocolates and handed her a few. Lindsey accepted them and, with a guilty grin, added "These are going to make me so fat."

"Then good thing we run around and chase suspects," said Doreen, grinning. "We can burn off lots of calories if we do that. Just last week I burned off maybe tons of calories just chasing this perp!"
She entered the flat and looked around.
"Nice place, Linds," she said, impressed. Then she saw a picture on the table. She picked it up and looked at it.
"This is a cute pic," she said. "Mind telling me about it?"

Lindsey stiffened as Doreen picked up a picture of Lindsey at about eighteen or nineteen standing behind a young man of about the same age, her arms wrapped around his neck playfully. It was her old best friend, Phillip Mills. He was looking back at her fondly with his pale green eyes. Anyone who saw the picture at first glance might think they were boyfriend and girlfriend by the overly friendly mood. That had never been the case. She had never once thought of Phil as anything more than a friend. No, it wasn't past romances that made her wish her new friend had never picked up the picture. She didn't like to think about him anymore. Life would be much more painless if she forgot he had ever existed. "Just an old friend and I when we were in college," she answered awkwardly, making a personal note to get rid of that picture.

Doreen noticed the stiffness in Lindsay's voice and sensed quickly that she wasn't comfortable talking about it.
"So, what do you feel like doing?" she asked, changing the topic.

Lindsey was glad she didn't ask anything further. She tried to think of something they could do. "I don't know. We could get some of the others if they're off and try to catch a late night movie. I kind of wanted to see Poseidon."

"Oooh, a movie," said Doreen. "I'm all in for it. As for calling the others, are you sure? Cause I heard that some of them are working off late."

"Well, if they're working late I guess there's nothing we can do about that." She gave her friend a mischievious look. "I thought you might want Luke to come with us." *By the way, I love your signature. Just random compliment*

She blushed a little. "Umm... he's... busy, I think."
"But if you still wanna go see the movie, I'm cool with it."
