Edwin was reviewing a file on the case as he nursed his second Coors Light. Edwin picked up a six-pack on his way out of town at a local general store along with a sub from a Subway shop within the store. He decided he was in for the night and was wearing a pair of work shorts with his Jerome Bettis Steelers jersey. The TV was on more for white noise than anything else, but he was listening to hear if there was anymore news on Snow White. Being in a small town meant there were times that people didn't exactly know when to shut up around a camera, and who knows what little nugget of information would be leaked out to the press. 

His phone rang and Edwin saw that it was Katy calling him. Edwin turned off the TV and answered his phone. He said,[B] "If you're not calling me to tell me that you just got out of the shower and you are getting ready to send me a full sized selfie I'm gonna be so frustrated."[/B]

Katy replied, "Good we can be frustrated together." Her tone of voice told Edwin that she was not a pleasant frame of mind.

Edwin said,[B] "You and I have been going out long enough that I know when that tone of voice is directed at me."[/B]

Katy replied, "Well it's nice to know that you're not just a detective because of your charm and wit. Which I heard was on full display today."

Edwin took a drink of his beer and said,[B] "Let me guess a certain sheriff called you all to talk about our meeting today."[/B]

Katy replied, "You mean the sheriff whom you accused of sleeping with sheep and whose parents you said were cousins? Not a single clue as to what you're talking about."

Edwin said, [B]"In my defense, he never denied any of it I should get points for that alone. Not to mention I should also get points for coming up with those things off of the top of my head." [/B]

Katy let a deep sigh and said, "Edwin, Edwin, Edwin, you have no clue how dangerous of a man Sheriff Hawkins is. I read his file this guy could probably make you have an 'accident', and they wouldn't find your body until the next ice age if ever. He also has several charges of police brutality against him although none of them have ever been proven or the victim recanted their story. Sweetheart I don't mind saying it he scares and I'm all the way in Pittsburgh. if you get in trouble the Commissioner has ordered me to come down there and either bail you out, talk to the Mayor, bring you home, or identify your remains. None of those options thrill me exactly thrill me. Not to mention you and I wouldn't be sharing a room and that upsets me even more. "

Edwin replied, [B]"Katy I know what type of guy he is. He's a schoolyard bully masquerading as a law man. Besides when I was doing the Golden Gloves I fought bigger guys than that."[/B]

Katy said, "Edwin in case you hadn't noticed that part of your life wrapped up over 20 years ago. You're not in High School anymore and in this case there isn't going to be a ref to step in and save you." Katy exhaled deeply and said, "Edwin you are on someone else's home field, and whether you like it or not that means keeping your mouth in check even if they deserve it. The wall of silence in that town is gonna be tough enough to break through without you shooting off wise cracks, and you thinking it's charming Edwin. Please I'm begging you to watch it with this one Edwin please. This case is a lot more dangerous than it appears on the surface which is already pretty damn scary."

Edwin too another drink and replied, [B]"I make no promises, because this is who I am and this is how I work but I'll see what I can do about playing nice with the other kids in school."[/B]

Katy said, "Thank you. I don't want you to change who you are, because I fell in love with you just as you are. All the good qualities and annoying ones too they make up who you are. I love you so much Edwin."

 Edwin replied, [B]"I love you too angel. I love you too."[/B]

Katy asked, "So other than angering the local law how's it going?"

Edwin took another drink and said,[B] "Just a lot of questions right now my love. I want to go over the evidence and crime scene first hand and then I'll start rattling the cages."[/B]

Katy said, "Please be careful your Captain is still trying to locate someone else to work with you on this one. According to my sources around the precinct he is very worried about you. Almost as much as me."

Edwin finished his beer and said, [B]"I'll wrap this up as quick as I can then I'm outta here. I love you Katy but I think it's time to get some rest. I got a big day of not getting killed by the sheriff tomorrow. I'll talk to you later love."[/B]

Katy replied, "Good night and be careful Edwin. Call me tomorrow I love you too."

Edwin said, [B]"Good night love."[/B] 

Edwin hung up his phone and turned the TV on to ESPN. The OKC Thunder were playing the Miami Heat so Edwin decided that was a nice distraction. Just then his phone beeped. Edwin pressed the touch screen and saw he had a text message from Katy. It was a picture of her in her robe flashing the camera and the message said, "Does this make up for me not being the shower?"

Edwin smiled and texted back, "Nicely."

He put his phone down and turned his attention back to the game and got out one more beer.
