CHAPTER 5 : DETECTIVE JOSH RELATIONSHIP WITH DETECTIVE HARVEY

I am so worried about you experiencing these kinds of situation like you're not here in the office. I know we have a lot of works but look at them they are not doing anything. Look at yourself you looked so stress handling all of that reports, I showed him concern. 

Detective Yanie... Thank you. Finally, I have a friend in this department. It's really hard for me to go with the flow. I am not so comfortable here. They were just treating me like a paper they can put in trash when they didn't need me. I was so frustrated these past few months handling all of these reports and cases. I don't know now where to begin; Detective Harvey took a deep breath after. 

Well, I understand where you are coming from but may I ask why no one is taking action about your situation? Did you tell our Superior about what they are doing to you? I asked him with a sad tone. 

Every time I plan to tell it to our Superior, he is busy. He's really a busy person more than what you think. All people here except Detective Josh with the 4 detectives on duty are not leaving notes in my table. They are really showing professionalism with their jobs as detectives. Aside from them, all detectives in this area always looked for me, give to me the tasks assigned to them. Look at them! They are having good time while I am suffering here. I feel so fool letting them do that to me always, Detective Harvey bowed his head trying to hide how he feels about his situation. 

Hey! Cheer up. I tapped his shoulder and added, "Be strong, this is the field we chose." If you need a friend beside you, I am here don't be shy asking me to help you. Try to change your working habit. Try to change your looks so they will not bully you anymore, I advised. I held his chin and cheer him up, I smiled with him and he smiled back. 

Thank you for treating me a real human, some of them are treating me like a robot who doesn't feel tired, stressed and frustrated. I will follow your advice and you'll see. Thank you for putting courage into my soul. To stand for myself and not let others treat me like nothing, Detective Harvey held her hand and thanked her. 

You need to get out always with your comfort zone to explore and teach yourself something new. You will discover your skills and that will make you improve and be respected by others, I told him saying motivational words for him to cheer up. 

He smiled at me and his eyes telling me that's he's happy that I am beside him. I asked him about Detective Josh, my partner for the Special Mission. I don't know him more that's why I need to gather more information about that freak man. 

Honestly, this is my first time meeting a rude and war freak man. This is not the first time I saw him, I stopped for a while and can't utter the next word to say. 

What do you mean? Do you know him? Since when? Detective Harvey asked me. 

No! I don't know him, I met him in my dreams but opposite of him in the reality. Well, can you tell me something about him? I asked him. 

Detective Josh is the best detective of this agency. All the tasks assigned to him was all accomplished successfully. He went in the office 30 minutes early before the time, he uttered. 

Ohhh! I was amazed he's punctual, I said to myself. Aside from that? I asked him with an interesting tone. 

He is always nominated as "The Best Detective of the Month" every end of the month. He's quite serious of his job. All I know is that, he's not kind, Detective Harvey laughed covering his mouth. Ohhh sorry! He apologized and uttered, I'm just kidding. He's very kind. 

So, he's really kind, I wondered holding my chin thinking why is he like that to me. Do you know anything about his private life? Ohhh nooo... I refused. I mean, he's working here for years, do you know anything about his personality? I asked him again in an excited tone waiting for his reply. 

Well, he's the famous detective in the city. He was known to be industrious, hardworking and professional with his job. He's not staying in this office but if he has time, he's talking to me too. Detective Josh and his friends, the four detectives on duty now for a mission. All detectives here are jealous with these five young men. I heard some detectives calling them, "The Five Superior's Pet" I was actually one of them but because of my sickness a year after my last duty I was diagnosed with Leukemia. Our Superior decided to pulled me out on my schedule duties with Detective Josh. We're tandem before I was diagnosed with this annoying disease of mine. It was a very long story to tell so I just tell this in short, he stared at me. 

Detective Josh is really a nice and very down to earth person. He deserves where he is now, he exerted a lot of sacrifices, hard works and efforts just to be with what he is now, Detective Harvey smiled at me seeing his face happy telling me those. 

I am glad that my former partner will finally have someone who will join him in a mission. He's been two years doing the missions alone because I wasn't able to go with him, he gladly said with a courage tone. 

Hey! Don't tell them about my Leukemia, this is just a secret. Can I trust you with this? I'm begging you, don't let anyone know my situation, he pleased me not to tell anyone about his condition. 

You can count on me. You can trust me all the time. From now on, I will be your friend. Anything you will say will be kept a secret. On Wednesday next week we have a flight going to the place where both Detective Josh and I will be assigned. You take care of yourself while we are not here. Don't let anyone treat you like a puppet. Have courage to be prank with them, I reminded him with a sweet smile on my face. 

They were both shocked when... 

Detective Josh pulled Yanie's hand and said, "What are you still doing here? Don't waste your time talking with a nonsense guy!" He told me while holding my hand and said, "Let's go!"

I take off his hand with mine and shouted at him, "Can you repeat what did you say a while ago?" A nonsense guy? You are so rude, freak man! Stop saying that, he's not a nonsense man. He's quite interesting than you! I rolled my eyes and smiled at Detective Harvey and went close to his face and I whispered at him, "Please let me take off your eye glasses it looks dusty;  for you to see everything clearly.

Hey! What do you think are you doing? Office romance is not allowed here! He pointed at us and shout aloud. 

I get my face closer to Detective Harvey's face but suddenly he pulled me but I did it again... 

He's having a bad thinking about what I'm doing. I just want to take off Detective Harvey's eyeglass because it looks like dusty. He's thinking that what I'm doing is just being sweet with the guy in front of him. 

He walked out and whispered, "Flirt woman, after you flirt with me, now with this man I hate the most!
