SAMANTHA'S P.O.V.

I was told by my captain that someone wants to talk with me and I was surprised to know that it was Prosecutor Vasquez. She smiled at me and said.

"Do you remember me Sam?", she said while extending her hand at me.

"Yes and I am still thankful.", I said as I received her hand. We do the formal handshake and I almost have a ghostbump. I didn't expect that she still know me.

"And you are still welcome.", she said and laugh. This woman is really adorable.

"Anyway, captain can I drive Samantha home? We have many things things to talk.", she said smiling to my captain who was obviously mesmerized by this adorable Prosecutor's charm.

"Sure, just take good care of our baby detective.", my captain said pretending to be a sweet boss.

We walk towards Prosecutor Vasquez car and almost everyone congratulates her.

"So... how are you Sam?", she asked me in a concern voice, far from the cool Prosecutor who bravely win the trial awhile ago.

"I'm okay, slowly moving on.", I smiled at her sincerely.

"You're just around 11-12 years old when I win you father's case before, that was my first battle in court.", she said while smiling at me. I didn't answer so she continue talking.

"Your father's case motivates me to continue on winning. I can still remember your smile when your father got free. That time I thought, what if I loss that case then you and your siblings will end up crying. What if I loss that case then how could your older brother and sister finish college? A lot of thoughts circulates my mind that time and that motivates me to reveal the truth in every case I handled.", Prosecutor Vasquez told me. My eyes got teary as the memories of my father started to refresh.

"How did you become a Prosecutor ma'am?", I ask to change the topic so that we can avoid being emotional.

"I always win everytime I got a case because I always dig the truth first before I accept the client. I want an honest client so that I know how can I defend them. I enjoyed being a defense attorney but one time, I loss my case and during the trial I conclude that I am defending a culprit not an innocent one. That time I decided to become a prosecutor to hunt that culprit again and that culprit is our Mayor.", she said. I can saw a tear in her face but she just ignore it so I ignore it as well.

"You look so cool in the court awhile ago ma'am.", I smile at her as I utter the compliment. Prosecutor Vasquez smiled at me and said... "My mind told me to impress you."

"Anyway, how was your mother?", she asked at me.

"She's okay but we're not in good terms since she got a live in partner few months after my father died.", I said but I controlled my emotion making my voice steady.

"She's still your mother, you must contact her. So where did you spend your holidays and summer vacations?", she asked again.

"My uncle's house, he also send me to school because mother wanted me to stop.", I replied.

"Your mother did not contact you?", she said unable to believe of what she heard.

"She did not because she have a live in partner living in that house whose only about your age ma'am. What will people say if they'll see me living in that house.", I said bitterly.

"How about your younger sister?", she asked again. She's concern, maybe my father told her a lot of stories.

"She's with me every holidays and vacation but right now she's living with our grandparents.", I said while pointing our apartment. She park her car and give her calling card to me.

"Call me if you need help Sam or if you need someone to talk with.", she said while looking straight to my eyes.

"Sure, thank you so much Prosecutor Vasquez.", I said as I closed the door of her car and wave goodbye.

I am staring at this calling card when my bestfriend Dianne hug my back and said, "I'll be on your training place on monday." I almost forgot, our internship is about to end.

"I'll take a look what kind of baby detective you are Sammy.", she added as she walk towards her bed.

"Let's see what kind of intern you are.", I said as I wink at her.

"Aren't you sad Sam, the challenge is about to end. I know that you enjoy being in a Homicide team who acts like an investigation team.", she said and that hits me hard.

"I am going to miss them but it's okay, we still have two weeks and besides it just means that graduation is near and we can already smell the fragrance of our dreams.", I said as I smiled at her.

"You are right, anyway do you still want to work in that office after graduation and passing the board exam?, she asked.

"I love being there but I don't know if they will accept me again, you know... I always want to get involved in investigation. My captain hates that attitude of mine.", I said as I produce a little sound of laughter.

"Yes I am sure about that, you are irritating Sam.", she said while laughing at me. I throw my pillow at her then she throw it back to me.

"Good night Sammy.", she said.

"Good night Di.", I said then close my eyes.

I spent my sunday in worship then monday come. I introduced Dianne to our captain then we spent together doing my usual task. New cases visits our office but was forwarded immediately to investigation team, our captain want to avoid getting involve in the investigation again.

Days quickly passed by and I almost did not notice that today is our last day of training. I am busy filling my trainee journal when Lt. Holmes called me and said,
"Sam, the captain wants to have a talk with you."
