* * * *

Jackie wanted to put her head on the desk and crash. She was really tired. It had been tough to get out of bed, out of ’Stair’s arms, but she had a shift to work. Ash was tired, too, and that worried her more. She had also seemed a little off this morning. Ash had the real job. She needed to be on her game all the time. The radio crackled, and she grabbed her headphones and applied herself. The nine-one-one center wasn’t as busy during a weekday as, say, on a Friday night or on the weekends, but she’d still been fielding calls all day. She checked the clock and realized she had a break in a minute. She alerted the other operators to her status and headed out to grab a coffee. She’d installed one of those single-cup makers not long after she started. The cops didn’t seem to dislike drinking cups of coffee from the carafes that stewed the contents into sludge, like it was a rite of passage or something, but she wasn’t drinking it. They were still slobs, leaving the little plastic cups either in the coffeemaker or on the counter and slopping cream and sugar all over, but they usually remembered to add water to the machine, and some of them actually started bringing in boxes of the little single-serving coffee containers in all kinds of flavors. She chose a breakfast roast and doused it with cream then found a seat where she could stretch out and relax while she refueled and thought about Alistair and last night.

“Hey, Jackie.”

“Hi, Max. What’s up?” She watched as a dull flush rose up from behind Max’s collar and flooded his face with heat. What was going on with him? She usually avoided him, but now that Alistair was back in her life, it really didn’t matter.

“Nothin’ much. Greg is taking a day because Lacey’s got her first doctor’s appointment. I’m partnering with Wolowitz again, just today, thank God. That man and garlic!”

She’d heard it all before. And she really didn’t care, even if her innate good manners and kindness hid her disinterest. Her butt ached, although in an interesting way, and she just wanted to sift through her recent memories. It was like she was simmering in a lake of arousal, and she could hardly think about it while she was working. Her job required her to focus. Max seemed oblivious, however, to her disinterest, and she forced herself to listen to him. He didn’t sound quite the same. Oh, he was charming and good company, but he seemed to have more substance, somehow. If Max hadn’t been such a good cop, he would have fit the bill for ditzy blond man of the year. He was excellent in bed, really experienced, and if she didn’t wish she could wipe her memory clean of that one night with him, she could admit that any woman would feel well satisfied. Except Max didn’t used to have any core value, and women tended to want that over good-time Charlies in the end.
