Chapter 3 FBI Headquarters Tuesday - 10:15 am Melinda walked out of the Assistant Directors office and headed down the hall. Their meeting went as expected, the both of them pretending nothing had transpired between the two of them that weekend before. He played it well and she, well she felt like a complete fool. She had spent the rest of the weekend locked up inside of her apartment. He was on her mind constantly and she knew she just needed time until things settled down in her brain so she could move forward. A hundred thoughts ran through her mind that weekend. Should she leave the DC Bureau and return to Utah? Should she transfer to another division, where she could work under another superior? Or should she just accept her mistake and pretend, like they were doing now. It seemed easier in her mind to run, but that wasn’t her. She never ran from her problems and this should be no different. Walter was a good man and a good Assistant Director. She should consider herself lucky and be grateful things turned out the way they did. They could both be out of a job if their indiscretion was ever discovered. Their choice to forget and move on was probably the best for both of them. It was hard sitting across from him during their meeting. He looked so good and the only thing she could think about was his hard body over hers, his touch, and the way he kissed her. That was what was really messing with her mentally, was the way he kissed her. If it would have just been sex, well, this would have all been a lot easier on her but it wasn’t just sex. Perhaps she was reading too much into it. She received her orders from him and then left avoiding any small talk. He didn’t give off any signals and was straight and to the point during their brief meeting. Melinda sat at her desk and closed her eyes taking in a deep breath. She would get through this. There was no other choice. The week dragged by and when Friday came Melinda decided to check out a new gym down the block from her apartment. She didn’t feel comfortable returning to the FBI gym so had to find alternative means for working out. The gym was extremely nice and was packed for a Friday night. After been given the tour, she changed into her work out clothes and located the area where the treadmills were located. She grabbed an empty one down the ways from a young man, who obviously was a runner himself by the shape he was in. After their workout he struck up a conversation with her and she discovered that many of the local PD and government employees frequent this gym. The young man, Josh, was no exception. Turned out he was a lieutenant for the D.C police department. The two talked for a while and exchanged phone numbers with the promise to get together for dinner sometime. When Melinda returned home that evening she felt exhausted from the week and collapsed onto her couch pulling out Josh’s number from her pocket. He seemed like nice enough guy and possibly exactly what she needed to get over last weekend. Setting his number on a side table she promised herself to call him next week to go out. He was tall, cute and seemed like genuine enough guy. She really just hoped he would get her mind off Walter. That weekend her sister called to check up on her. They talked to one another on a weekly basis and Melinda had avoided her last weekend, not sure if she should tell her what had happened between her and Walter. They were extremely close and Jane had a good sense when something was going on with her sister. As they spoke, Melinda steered the conversation towards Jane’s kids and things that were going on in Utah trying to avoid her life completely. “Alright, enough about us. I want to hear something exciting about your life in D.C.” “Not much, just work. You know how it is.” “Have you met anybody?” “Yeah, uh, actually I met someone recently at the gym I joined. Nice guy, works for the D.C.P.D.” “Have you two gone out yet? What’s he like?” Melinda told her what she knew about him, hoping this would satisfy her sister’s curiosity. “Melinda, I’m sensing there is more. Something going on at work?” “What? Don’t do that Jane. Things are fine, really.” “All right. Would you tell me if things weren’t?”While AFF and its agents attempt to remove all illegal works from the site as quickly and thoroughly as possible, there is always the possibility that some submissions may be overlooked or dismissed in error.
