Hazel pulled up the handbrake as the car came to a stop alongside the sidewalk, her partner Alec was already on the scene and she'd be surprised if it wasn't going to be another late night for them. As she turned the engine off she could only imagine what her fiance's ex would say about this and let alone his daughter. Picking her phone out of her pocket she dialled her home number. The phone rang twice before finally a young voice came across the phone,
" Hello," for a second Anna's voice sound sweet, but Hazel knew all to well that would change once she knew it was her.
" Hey Anna, it's me Hazel is..." before she could say any more she heard the phone hit the table and Anna's voice in the distance over the phone.
" Dad, its your dog on the line," mumbling could be heard before Anna's voice could be heard again, " Its what she is isn't it, a dog. Hazel shuck her head in discuss and knew to well Richard would do little about it.
Finally she heard the phone been lifted and Richard's frustrated voice, " Hey hun, what's wrong ? Let me guess your pulling an all nighter again, yes."
Hazel remained calm, " Yes I am and you knew what you were signing up for when you proposed to me.
He replied even more frustrated, " Well you knew Anna was coming, this was ment to be a time for us to bond and not you running around town."
Finally Hazel flipped, " Well its better than been there and having her speak like crap to me with you ready to take her corner. "
She heard Richard take a deep breath before replying still frustrated but more tone down," You right but what am I ment to do, I'm her father."
" Well then be her father and my future husband. She has you rapped around her finger and you still haven't told me how much you spent on new clothes for her and let alone that new phone which I'm sure she didn't buy out of her own money. Fuck sake Richard I saved hard on that money, not so it could be spent on crap." As she finished speaking as a tap came to the drivers window from her partner. With a quick count to ten she spoke again to Richard unaware it would be the last time, " OK got to go, just want to say don't wait up and even if you are a pain in the hole, I love ya."
" Love you too, just be careful out there Hazel as I hear it's bad out there tonight, " He was still frustrated but she knew he cared as he hung up.
With a tip of the button on the door she unlocked the doors for her partner to jump in. As he got in Hazel spoke. " What we got Alec, good news or bad ?"
Her partner was clean cut as he could be, if it wasn't for the suit, she'd think he was in the Marines by his hair cut, " Nothing still, its been a week now and still he's been a no show."
Hazel had pretty knew much what he was going to say before he said it, he had done a count down on each day and she could tell he also wanted to be off tonight early too. They had lay a trap for a hit man they called The Butcher, all do it wasn't there case she had been supplied as back up to the field agents running the show. " What's the plan now ?" She crossed her fingers in hope it might turn in to an early night after all, but she knew all to well there was probably other hazards to deal with and they'd be picked for it.
" They've given up on him coming, Ed with Quinn is finishing things off and turning what's left to the SFPD. For once The Butcher has missed his dead line on his hit. Tony Coral returned just after given evidence so there is no good a hit is going to do to him now. " He smiled before continuing, " Were not needed so think home it is."
Hazel cursed herself with making the call to Richard, it ment more than likely an argument when she returned home and one that would be another strain on the relationship. " After the talk I just had with Richard, I think I'd prefer to work. You don't mind if I give him a quick ring and keep your mouth shut Alec. Don't do that crap dog bark you did last time." With Alec's hand on his heart Hazel reached for her phone. Just as she was about to make the call her door opened, it was Ed the agent they were assigned to assist and panic ran through his voice.
" Your to follow me, downtown, " before either could reply he let a scream, " Just fucking follow me." slamming Hazel's door he jumped into a black car that pulled out of the driveway.
For the first time of night Hazel was surprised how busy traffic was, she also couldn't help but notice as the snake of lights and sirens grew behind her. With the lights blaring Hazel found herself dodging through lights and traffic behind Ed as he lead in his car. On some occasions she even found the lead car mounting the path the near they got to downtown. Soon more police and Other agency joined the line of snake cars.
