"I should have just killed them all." Ravi muttered to himself as he busied himself in the kitchen. He touched his bangs to move them to the side, a habit that he had gotten used to, when his hands met soft skin, he forgot that he had cut them off today.
Ravi sliced through the side of the fish in one go, he removed the innards and cleaned it before patting it to dry.
His phone rang and rang again. It must be Lisa calling to tell him the good news and ask how he was. He had asked the Sergeant for a sick leave when he learned that Sarah had also taken one.
"I understand that yesterday was a bit much for everyone so I asked the Chief and he gave everyone a day off. Just relax. I am in the office, I will take care of any case that comes together. Rest today, tomorrow we continue."
Ravi wanted to ask about the chief but he should be in Helios. He would probably be happy, his eyes brightening up when he saw Alex Malley.
Not that he did it for him.
