More Attention

Nathan wasn’t sure it was possible to be this pissed off.

He’d gotten up and made food, showered, and started to pack up some clothes. He figured he’d get a start on it before Brina came over and helped finish up for the move this weekend.

Normally he had a text from her when he woke up but was surprised there was nothing. He’d thought of calling her but figured she had to have been busy if she didn’t reach out to him.

When she finally called and asked if he could give her a lift, he wasn’t real happy to find out the reason why and made it clear to her in his SUV.

“Why didn’t you call me this morning when you noticed it?”

“Because you were probably sound asleep. It’s not your jurisdiction anyway,” she said.

“I cover all of Albany County. All you had to do was call me and I would have made a call to someone. Knowing it was me calling it in would have gotten it more attention.”

Which he’d never done before and was shocked he was considering it now.

“I don’t need special attention. My father is already upset over it. He tried to hide it as best as he could but it was obvious.”

“I can understand that,” he said. And this was why he didn’t get in relationships. The worry and stress he hadn’t had in years were creeping up on him like a mugger in a back alley.

First the whole business with rushing on the house, his cash flow, and now Brina getting her tires slashed.

He’d already felt guilty he couldn’t give her the time he wished and hoped that things would slow down in the next week or so that he could pay more attention to her.

“It’s fine. I’m sure I know who did it, but I could be wrong. Either way, I won’t be on that case anymore so if it is him, he’ll move onto someone else.”

“What do you mean you won’t be on it anymore? Did they take you off because of this?” He’d never heard of that before.

“No. I’m being put on something bigger and better. I’m torn because I hate not following through, but I know the results will be the same in the end. The partner that I report to is pulling me in on something huge. She could have asked so many others—probably better than me too—but she came to me.”

“I’m sure you’re damn good at your job. What is it and why do you think she asked you?”

He listened to what she said and realized that it was probably perfect for her. Something she could sink her teeth into and give it more than most others would. Not for the money, that she barely mentioned, but for the principle.

For justice.

And wasn’t that what he was drawn to the most of anyone in life? That he never seemed to find?

“It’s going to take a lot of time, but in the beginning I won’t be as busy as I’ve been.
