Maria, would you take the honor of being my wife?
yes, yes, yes, say yes, I said while sitting down on my couch eating a big bowl of popcorn rooting for the tv couple. I was so captured by the last episode of Heroic Love that I didn't see my phone ringing, until of course they called again.
Joe, hey... oh yeah I'm definitely on my way, I am almost there. I can even see you! I said jumping off the couch and putting on pants.
what do you mean you can't see me? I am waving! Okay wait a bit, im getting in the building now! See ya soon bye! I said hanging up the phone quickly and grabbing my keys.
There was nothing I did better than being late, especially when it was the finale of my favorite show, I mean c'mon that was stay at home stuff, very emotional ending may I add.
I arrived in the station to find Joe hugging no one other than Barry, a big smile splatters all over my face, he was back, finally! Barry had been struck by lightning and was in a coma for nine months, without Barry work was lifeless, maybe I am being very dramatic there but really, working with Barry it's what makes me feel like coming to work, just like Heroic Love it's what makes me be late to work. Sometimes I talk too much with myself.
oh, you scared the hell out of us, kid, Joe said still hugging Barry.
Yeah that was quite the nap you took there baby face, said Mark ,a police officer.
And yet, still look twelve, I said smiling.
Maddie, Barry said coming to hug me.
too tight big boy, I said gasping for air as Barry gave me the tightest hug ever. So how are you feeling? I asked pulling us apart and putting my hand on his shoulder.
He looks okay, said Joe, are you okay?
Yeah, Barry answered.
Detective West? called a woman, and there Joe went. I'll see you guys later, Barry get some rest.
So what should we do?, I asked excited.
Madison, you have a minute? asked Mark. Yeah of course, be right back, I said turning to Barry.
SCREW YOU! screams a man who had just tried to escape the police but was contained.
you okay? I asked Barry who looked a bit terrified.
I'm, I'm fine, he said hesitating, I need some air, I'll call you tonight!
Barry! I screamed but he was long gone.
⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️
Barry are you okay? I said noticing that he was bleeding a bit. He just nods and lives it at that.
That poor man! The way that fog came in ,I haven't seen anything like it! said Iris as a hurt victim from the accident passes by us in a cart.
That makes two of us! I said looking as the paramedics take the guy away.
In matter of seconds Joe appears and starts to lecture Iris about danger but he's speech doesn't last long because Barry takes him away to talk.
Hey, its Barry okay? Iris asks.
I don't know, I responded.
He looks...
weird, we both said in union. As I look in Barry's and Joe's direction it looked like they were having an argument, so like we always do, Iris and I quickly tried and calm them down.
dad, stop! said Iris but Joe continued. ... He did. He murder your mother in cold blood, now I never asked for anything in return , but I ask now for you to see things as they are. Barry upset, walks away, and I of course try and catch up to him.
Barry! ,I said running after him, Barry!
What?, he turned pissed.
Woah, calm your horses, I am not here to attack you!, I said putting my hands in the air to show that I was harmless, are you okay? ,I asked again, because I knew he wasn't and well he was like a nut, hard to break into. Did that sound weird, I shouldn't have used the nut simile, or well.
We'll talk later alright, He said as he walked away from me AGAIN! Today was a very repetitive day and I was not liking it!
⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️
I am just saying it would've been great if you called , I reasoned. No Barry I do not want a feel better burrito, I wanted for you to call, I'm your friend Barry I get worried! You are the one who should've called. ITS BEEN TWO DAYS! Before Barry could say anything else I hanged up. I knew Barry since I started my internship on the station, a long time ago, and we have been friends since then, and well I may accept that I do acquire a lot of attention, but a friend of yours who just woke up from a coma should not disappear and only call you two days after it!
I parked my car and quickly ran in. I'm here, I said gasping for air.
Not too bad Maddie, baby steps huh? ,Joe asks.
Yeah, very very tiny baby steps, I said breathing heavily.
Hey, sorry I am late, said Barry arriving at the scene.
Doing a little shopping Mr. Allen?, asked Captain Singh. I rolled my eyes and ripped the tag from Barry's jacket.
I was going a little fast this morning, he explained as if it was supposed to be funny, but instead he gained two very serious reactions from Joe and Captain Singh. Here, I said giving Barry a pair of gloves, and putting my own pair on.
As Barry and I examine the crime scene, Joe's partner comes in with a recording that only showed one guy.
footage may only show one but we may be looking at around six, said Barry.
We should be looking for a crew, I agreed.
Huh, weird the shoes all look the same size, men's 10. Just like you captain, said Barry. I send him a look which he gets pretty quick. That doesn't mean that you are a suspect, of course! , I said trying to fix what Barry had just said, because that would just be stupid.
When Barry arrives at the Lab I had already started processing the evidence from the gun store. You always find a way to embarrass not only yourself but the both of us!, I said turning on the machine.
what can I say I have a talent, He said smiling.
A very bad one!, I said picking up the files from the last case and putting them in the drawers.
I wanted to apologize.
yeah, yeah, I said interrupting Barry, How about you make it up over dinner and a movie tonight?
Deal he said smiling. Barry was like my only friend so if I was always pissed at him I wouldn't have no one to hang out with, and plus I've left him on read way longer.
Imma pick up the rest of the files with the captain, be prepared for a very awkward story when I came back, I said leaving Barry in the Lab.
⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️
Hold on ,I screamed to well , whoever was knocking on my door. I had just gotten home from work so I was dead. It probably took me about 10 minutes just to get to the door. Barry?, I asked surprised.
Hungry?, he asked showing me a handful of bags. Hope you like Chinese?
What are we doing throwing a party? , I asked as I realized his both arms were filled with bags of food.
I am on this new diet, Barry explained.
You don't need a diet, you even have abs now, I argued.
You noticed my abs?, Barry asks.
Who said that? Did I say that, I meant that you look very fit now, I wasn't paying attention to your abs, not that I know you have abs now, you know what, Imma shut up, I said nervously. Barry chuckles and starts to remove the food from the bags.
Oh, those abs are definitely going away after this!, I joked, Okay, any new movie ideas?, I asked turning on the TV.
I actually heard about one... its.....
Impossible!, I said, This, this red streak right here thats a person! , I said pointing at the TV.
New hero in town, Barry read the tittle in disbelief.
Who is that?, I asked intrigued by the velocity, he is going faster than the speed of sound, I bet ya he can run a mile in 4 seconds.
3 actually.
what? I asked confused on what Barry had just said.
Nothing, he responded.
I guess we have a hero in town, I said looking at Barry who had just opened not his first but his second box of fried rice.
I guess so , he agreed.
