*****

 

Jillian is
sound asleep in her own bed.
 
She’s
wearing her Three Stooges pajamas.
 
A loud knock on the door awakens her.

She
instinctively looks at her wrist.
 
Derek’s watch is gone.

She hops out
of bed and heads for the door as she hears another knock.
 
She stops for a moment in the living
room when she notices the blow up dolls on the sofa. She notices her black
clothes and hat folded and on a chair.

And she sees
that her calendar on the desk is on April 1
st
.

She didn’t
imagine the past few days did she?
 
She feels her cheek and winces when she touches the welt.
 
No she couldn’t have imagined it all.
 

She walks to
the door and opens it.
 
It’s
Derek.
 
Before she can be insanely
psyched to see him, he states, quite professionally, “You left something at the
station, Miss March.”

Jillian looks
at him curiously as if thinking what’s going on?
 
It doesn’t look like Derek was shot, he’s certainly not in
the hospital or wearing a sling, although his face is covered with welts and
bruises.
 

Derek hands
her the bumper sticker that was on the side of the cargo container.
 
She smiles wide, getting it.
 
“If you’re trying to out prank me by
staging my apartment, detective, it’s not going to work. You can’t mess with a
pro.”

Derek teases,
“I had you there for a moment though, didn’t I?”
 
Jillian relents and
nods,
he did
have her there for a moment.

Derek turns
serious.
 
“There were times all
year long I wanted to knock on your door but I didn’t.
 
I kept thinking
foolish
idea,
what would a beautiful young woman see in an older, tired detective who is way
too dedicated to his job?”

“The answer to
that question is very easy, detective,” Jillian affirms.
 
“You see
,
you
are at the very top of my love list. Actually, you are the only thing on my
love list, and you will always be the only thing on my love list.”

Their eyes
lock.
 
She steps aside to allow him
to enter her apartment.
 
He
does.
 
“Speaking of love lists,”
she flirts as she unbuttons her Three Stooges pajama top.
 
“I think there are a couple of things
on your love list that need revisiting.”

Derek beams
with love and desire as he takes her in his arms, kissing her passionately
while shutting the door.
