"Was it me?"


"None of this was not your fault Luna."


"Maybe if I'd sucked it up and asked for a ride home? Call an Uber. Or— or maybe..."

"The video Chris..." She raised her head to ask. She felt the anger, resentment violation bubble back up. "What about it?" He replied. 

"I know you lied about the damn footage," She whispered. "You saw exactly what happened. He- he did more than what you told me, There was more to it wasn't it" Chris sat in silence for a moment before responding. He felt the heat of Luna's glare towards him.

"No no, It's just been a lot. I get why- but I'm still pissed about it. I appericate you for at least being up front." Lofie smiled and closed the door to Lou's charger. "Thanks for the ride, I'll see you Detective,"

"Pleasure is mine Luna,"

Luna flashed hima smile before jogging into the station. Brian met her at the door "So..." Brian started. She observed Lofie demeanor, "Not now?,"

"Hmm, not now."

"Fair enough," Brian responded.
