In the midst of chaos

The calm before the storm

"Teddy Rensen, I can still remeber the day I first heard that name, I knew somehow that it meant bad news, I just didn't know how yet!"

"It was just a regular morning, I had just woken up, and the first thing I noticed was my boyfriend. Frank was still with me in bed, he was still asleep, which was unusual for him, as he'd generally already be on his way to work, where I would meet him later! Frank was sleeping on his stomach, his left arm was around my waist, his head on my chest."

"The next thing I noticed was that my cellphone was ringing, son of a bitch... so I grabbed it, and answered it, it was our boss. See. we're both police officers, and we often do under cover jobs, little did I know that this would be one of the most dangerous we'd ever done!"

"Good morning, ma'am. What can I do for you?" I asked, watching Frank sleep away peacefully. "Matthew's, I've got a job for both you, and Detective Masters, listen closely, I'm only gonna tell you once!" Commander Ryers explained. "Yes ma'am!" I replied, and so I listened to what she had to say. After she finished briefing me, I promised to tell Detective Masters everything she said, and then she hung up.

"Fuck...." I sighed, and ran my fingers through Frank's light brown hair. He started to stir, and moved around so that his face was buried in my neck, he kissed it once sleepily, then spoke. "Mornin' beautiful, what was that about?" he asked, moving his hand to take mine.

"Ryers called, we have a case, and a dangerous one at that!" I replied, running my fingers through his hair with my free hand.

"What are the details?" He asked, running his thumb over my hand. "This russian, Teddy Rensen he goes by, real name Nicolai Itchenko. Real nasty piece of work, apparently he's who Vladamir Pushkin sends in when a "problem" arises. She wants us to go under cover, and work with him, do, and help with whatever he needs, then take him down! We've got a lot of informing to do!" I explained, and closed my eyes.

When I re-opened my eyes, I was greeted with Franks' blue ones, staring right back at me. "Are you sure you want to do this one?" He asked, reaching up to run his thumb over my cheek, his eyes never leaving mine. "We kind of have no choice, he's flying in tonight, we're scheduled to meet him there.... we just... we need to be careful, Frank... this guy is bad news!" I explained, closing my eyes at his touch. "Alright, I trust your judgement, Detective Matthews... I love you baby, always remember that!" Frank replied, giving me a kiss, and getting up out of bed.
