Head of the Graveyard Shift
Back in Miami...
Sharon was finally over her morning sickness. Getting up she turned on the shower, and stepped in. Taking the soap, she washed her body. When she neared her tummy, she closed her eyes with excitement. She couldn't believe it, she was finally showing. She could remember the size of her mother when she carried li'l Eric and Jessica. The movements, the quickening, just the fact of knowing that a life was growing inside you.
Placing the soap back in the tray, she poured some shampoo onto her hand, and as she placed it in her hair, she felt Jake's touch as his hands wrapped around her waist.
"Morning, sweetheart. How are feeling?"
"Good. I think the last of the morning sickness has passed."
Leaning her back against him, she felt his hands roam around her tummy, her waist. As she inhaled deep. Bring up her hands, she wrapped them around his neck. Turning in his arms, she passionately kissed him as her hand caressed a path to his chest. Turning off the taps, he helped her from the shower and wrapped a towel around her.
Then giving her one last kiss, with a whispered... I love you. Leaving the bathroom he changed for work.
Meanwhile, when Grayson arrived home from work, he tossed his coat across the couch, slipped off his shoes, walked into the bedroom and crashed on the bed. He couldn't believe how tired he was. God he missed going to school, or hanging out with his friends. So much had changed since he married Lindsay.
Watching her sleep, he could tell she was resting comfortably. Always she was so beautiful, so giving and understanding. He knew it wasn't going to be easy being married and raising a family. But as his father had told him...
"In the end son. You'll see she was all worth it. For love like you and Lindsay share, is meant to be forever."
Smiling at his fathers words, he reached over and caressed his wife's face. Watching as her eyes opened, she smiled.
"Hi Gray... how was work?"
"It was okay, love. Go back to sleep, it's very late."
"I left you dinner in the oven. If you're hungry."
"Thanks Linds. But I'm so tired, I think I'll pass."
Bending over the bed he kissed her.
"I love you Linds."
'I love you too, Gray."
Feeling her pain set in again, she decided against telling Gray about how tired and worn down she was feeling. How could she share that with him, when he worked so hard each day without so much as a complaint.
Turning away from his arms, she closed her tear filled eyes and fell into sleep.
The next day...
Back at Miami-Dade, Eric and Danny were working the case with the young woman that was found tortured on the beach. It had been almost a week, and still no leads, or other bodies showed up. Closing the case file. Eric knew there was nothing more they could do for now. At least not until another victim showed up.
All they knew about the suspect, was that he was very smart. He had done everything right. without leaving so much as a trace. If it wasn't for the husband coming forward to report his wife missing, they would have never know who she was. All Eric could think was... "thank God he didn't cut off the birthmark on her inner thigh." That was how the husband had recognized her.
Placing the file in his drawer, he turned and found his daughter watching him.
"Peanut? What's the matter, love?"
"Nothing daddy, I thought maybe we go out for lunch. I miss you, and would like to talk to you."
"Sure sweetheart. Give me five minutes. Have a seat, I'll be back."
Giving his daughter a kiss, he quickly left to see Sheldon. While Sara waited, she noticed a dark haired man watching her from her fathers office. Trying to look away, she couldn't. It was almost as if he had hypnotized her in fear.
Hearing her father call her, brought her out of her trance. Running into her fathers arm, she panicked.
"Sara... Peanut... what's the matter, honey?"
"A man, daddy. some man was staring at me, from outside your window. He was really scary, his eyes were so pale, and his hair almost black."
Releasing his daughter, he looked out his window but seen nothing.
"There's no one there, Peanut."
"I'm telling you, daddy. He was there. He was so haunting."
"Peanut, I believe you. Just sit and rest for a minute, okay."
Eric honestly wasn't sure what his daughter had seen. But he knew something really spooked her. For she was still shivering.
"Are you okay now, Peanut?"
"Yeah, daddy. It was probly nothing, as you said. Let's go too lunch."
Leaving Miami-Dade, he watched from the shadows. Feeling his urge begin, he turned in the opposite direction. Realizing he had his next victim, he knew he could prepare for her arrival.
