When it Rains 15
The next few days Max was completely engrossed in going over the course from the beginning to the end. He had already rewritten at once and now he was going to make it more specific period he was already looking up case files and everything else that he could possibly do to get everything completely set. Though the paperwork Adam actually come in yet he was betting that it would any day now. He was OK with the fact that it wasn't totally official because he had the men’s word and his own captain's word working for him. He knew that they just had to make it more transferable on paper. He would leave that to them knowing that that was what it was going to be.
the next few days he was also dealing with Deanna who is still in the middle of her grief. Though it seemed to hit her at random times it was still hitting her out of the blue. She was dealing with everything as she always did with her head held high even if she had tears in her eyes. She was really try

Chapter 1The basement office was starting to get to him. He looked around and wondered if this was his life now as he could smell the dankness with the musty scent that was in the hallways as well. He was one of the best the newspapers had called him. They had said he was the one to get the case closed. That was how his supervisors had put out the call to every station in the country. He was an asset to be used. He felt like a used tissue or one of the handkerchiefs that the older generation used over and over.He felt like he was used. There was no getting around that fact. He was burning out quickly between the two things he was currently doing. Things were getting rough. Things were getting lonely as well. He knew what he wanted out of life, but a detective who could hunt any clue and find the most hidden facts couldn't figure out how to get a girlfriend. He knew he had problems. He just didn’t know how to work aro

He watched her from his spot against the building until she walked away from the field. He sighed with the loss of her being close but not that close. He had to wonder what she was actually doing there at night. He turned his wrist to look at the time. It wasn't that late, but it was dark. He wanted to go after her though he knew he couldn't. Instead, he turned and went back inside. He let the door close behind him. Max hated the idea of this one person so close but not close enough.She was so much more than he deserved in life. Though she seemed to be there and trying to do big things as well. He sighed as he thought of her finding any other person but him. He could only have her in daydreams. Though he would never, not even to himself, admit how much he really wanted her.Deanna Watson was everything he wanted in life. He would try to forget her. Though as he made the way to his office, he could only see her in his mind.

Gigi flew out of her seat and after him. She was through the doors and almost to his car before he was. She leveled a stare at him that made him want to laugh. "Where the hell do you think you are going?" she demanded as she nearly wobbled from the high heels, she was wearing and stomping her foot so hard. Max had to believe no one had ever turned her down for a night of fun. He could see why but that wasn't what he wanted. He didn't want the shiny showpiece that everyone around him might have wanted. He knew her type. The bunnies, as they had been nicknamed, only wanted to be with a cop or someone in law enforcement. He wanted someone who wanted to be with him. It didn't seem like that would be all that hard to find, but someone it was."I told you that I don't think this is working out. I was rather nice in the restaurant, and I think pretty clear. I don't like wasting time, though." Max said."How do you know what I can do for you?" she a

As he got to his office at the university, he was really feeling it everywhere on how he was exhausted. He didn't want to do anything as he sat in the teacher's parking lot near the building he worked at. That was one of the only perks of the job. The other was he was getting really good at finding the right combo of pain relievers to get rid of headaches. The younger people seemed to bring them on in droves. He enjoyed working on a mostly unsolvable case much more, and the headaches often were fixed the minute he put the puzzle together. He had never thought he was good at puzzles either, but he had proven that he could see things and know things about human behavior that helped in his line of work.He started to get a phone call on his work cell, and he pulled it out of his jacket. "Anderson." He said into the speaker."Max." a male voice said that he knew well."What do you want, Paulin?" Max laughed.

When he looked at the file he had picked up, he didn’t recognize the name on it. He then opened it and saw the first report. A name he knew from the past was there. He shook his head and tried to clear it. He must be projecting this somehow. He had thought of her earlier in the night. That had been a first in a long time. Though he ignored the thoughts most of the time. He could find something to distract himself easily. This was the one person he never wanted to think of again. This was the one person he hated on the planet. This was the woman who had taken his life away from him.This woman was dead.The pictures were her. She hadn’t changed that much. It was easy to see her again still in his mind. He looked at the name again. She must have gotten married because the name was different on this one file. His department

He drove to his house that he had thought might be the answer for him to cure his boredom. He had thought that maybe one day it would be the best place to come back to after a long day at work. However, it was still empty. It was quiet. It had none of the things that he wanted to be there, there.He had blamed all of his issues on one thing. It was the fact he didn’t know how to trust women. He had seen the things that they had done to him and other men when they didn’t get their way. He knew all women were not like that. Reasoning with himself didn’t help. It was the same for men. Not all men were horrible and rapists, but it was far easier to believe a woman and let the damage be done to the man’s life. It was a sad fact of life.When he tossed off his jacket and then knew he had to hang it up. He had only a few good jackets to wear along

Tossing and turning all night when he woke up, he didn’t want to get out of his bed. However, he knew that he had a class in an hour. He rolled out of bed and looked down to the ground, and picked up the towel on the floor. He then moved to the bathroom to begin his morning shaving. Though he normally would get a cup of coffee first, he was already going to be dragging throughout the day. It was pointless to start off with the coffee, he thought.After he cut himself three times, he gave up. Luckily it didn’t look all that bad. He then removed a shirt from the hanger and grabbed a tee shirt and a pair of boxers. As he started to dress, he took the pair of pants that were in the front of the house, which he had not worn the day before. He then looked at his shirt and saw that he had buttoned everything wrong. He shook his head an

Max started to go over the folder point by point for the class. Though he noticed that he was having some issues speaking because of his burnt tongue. He wanted to laugh at himself. His glasses now on his face though he normally didn’t need them. His headache from not sleeping well the night before was already throbbing. His mouth hurt. His face felt like it was in ribbons. He shin was killing him. He couldn’t shake the feeling that more was headed his way.Every second was lasting forever. It was like time wasn’t moving at all. He was halfway through the folder when the fire alarm went off for the building. He looked up, and then he nodded, “Go outside and wait by the light by the field. Make sure to check in with me.”He had to check in with each of them after they went outside. Everyone didn’t listen about leavi
