Ep 5

" Did anyone else came by Levi's house?" Dalton questioned.

The man nodded saying," Yeah, the person who he hired to lawn mow. He came around 7"

" Do you know how he looks?" Delainy inquired.

" No, he wore a dust mask" the man responded quickly.

" Alright, thank you for the help Mr. And Mrs......?" Dalton said waiting for them to finish the sentence.

" Peters" the woman answered with a soft smile.

" Oh, can you come down to the station later today to interview?" Dalton queried.

" Why? I gave you all the information I knew" Mr. Peters asked.

" Just so we can have it on record" Dalton clarified

" Alright, we'll come around 11" Mrs. Peters replied.

" Thank you"

Dalton quickly crossed the road back to the victim's house where he went straight to the 2nd victim's body like he realized something. Delainy tried to keep up with his walking speed as he did this, coming in the room a few seconds after him. Even though she was had planned to play close attention to Dalton, her eyes kept drifting towards Helena.

" If my thought process is correct....." He muttered to himself,  hooking his fingers under the victim's gloves and slowly taking it off to reveal the victim's fingernails held something underneath it.

" Helena, can you be a dear and test this to see if the skin came from the first victim?" Dalton asked.

" Sure" Helena replied taking a few pictures before telling her team," Alright guys, it's time to wrap up"

Delainy looked at Helena as she passed by and Dalton noticing this whispered, " You didn't hear it from me but rumor has it she's single"

Delainy cheeks became red as she fumble her words before saying," How did you know?"

" I noticed you taking little peeks at her" Dalton replied.

" She don't seem to like me much though" Delainy revealed

" It may seem like that but it isn't true. She's like that to everyone. Once you get to know her and youll see how much she changes and you'll understand why she acts like that." Dalton explained.

" Oh and also, she doesn't instantly fall for someone. It will take time but when she does she falls hard" Dalton hinted.

" I can wait" Delainy instantly said.

This made Dalton smile softly.

" Anyway you sound like you know he well" Delainy suggested.

" Don't start getting jealous now, Delainy" Dalton said jokingly.

" I didn't mean it like that" Delainy clarify quickly, her face becoming red as she lifts her hands to her face, feeling embarrassed.

" I was joking, Delainy" Dalton stated.

" I like how easy you are to tease" Dalton said leaving the room with Delainy following behind him saying, " I'm not"

After 40 minutes, Delainy and Dalton returned to the precinct and it seem like Viviane and Corey left on a case. Delainy was talking to him only to notice that his mind seemed to be somewhere else.
