It felt kind of nice to be there, chatting with the mother and her daughter. Miranda was cute, but like hell he was going to make a pass at the woman in front of her child. Sure he had thrown a couple of compliments, but he wasn’t acting like she was the kind of woman he usually hooked for one of his one night stands. Besides, she was a nice girl, the kind of family woman that wouldn’t have any interest on someone like him.
Richie could be charming however, be good company and Miranda and Juliet seemed to be. The little girl and her mother seemed to work well together and he would be inclined to try to be a friend of the couple if he wasn’t so damned scare of getting close to anyone.
Half of it was because of his job, he’d see a lot of bad things happen to good people and if he got too close to them all, he would burn up pretty quickly. The other half was that his healing ability made him a freak and that he had watched his best friend die and froze.
Great, she was talking again, focus on that.
“Maybe I could try a beer with him I guess…” or a big legged blonde, he had seem the way the jerk looked at the blonde that had slapped him when she found out he was a cop because of his damned partner came shooting off his mouth. Could he have used a muzzle on Slame?
“My specialty?” did alienating people fell into that category?
“I just have a knack for following trails and getting bad guys behind bars I guess. And working without close to no sleep perhaps. As for joining…guess you could say it is in the blood, my mother was a cop. Kind of a family thing, you know?”
He smiled at her.
“What about you Miranda? What made you want to dress in blue and work with a four legged buddy?”
