The Box

Amy came out of the bathroom after getting changed into her NYPD comfy clothes. Her hair was pinned back into a classic  slick tied pony tail.

She opened the door and jumped to see Rosa standing there with her glaring eyes.

"Um, hey?" said amy

"So you gonna explain?"

"Explain what?"

"The disappearance, the miss calls, teddy. This!" she said, pointing her finger at her plastered wound.

"Like I said it's nothing. I fell." Amy replied, now walking across the bullpen and into the break room.

"What about the miss calls and disappearance?" said rosa. Following behind like a dog.

"Why are you on my back about this!? What am I, five!?" Yelled Amy.

Rosa inhaled deeply and slowly let it all out, controlling her voice to a compassionate tone. But it didn't work.

"Well amy, the way you are acting. Yes I would say your five. You do realize that you are just out of intensive care!? Oh and not to burst your bubble or anything but there is a criminal still out there who got away with this shit, and probably wants to still want you two dead. Cause that's what he wanted in the first place. Right!? So fucking sorry I care Amy!"

Amy felt astounded. Those true words scared her and broke her heart. Rosa does care and she is just being a friend.

She then sat down and one of the seats and sighed.

"Listen. I'm sorry I got my back up. Just- yesterday on my way out. I collapsed"

"Jesus Amy! How?" replied rosa, now sitting down herself

Tears filled her eyes as she tried not to blink. Her throat felt crowded with lumps and her eyes began to sting.

"I just can't escape from the memory" she choked "A car was speeding down the road with bright headlights and I couldn't help but to be reminded of what happened that night. Those sounds rosa. They screamed in my head... They screamed."

"Crash sounds?"

Amy nodded slowly while wiping her tears.

"So when did teddy find you?"

"Just after I collapsed, he took me to his house and looked after me"

"You okay now?"

Amy glanced through the door, seeing jake.

"Yeah. I'm great.. "

* * *

"Hey jake, its Boyle. Whatcha doing?" said Charles, wheeling his chair over

"Nothing really. Captain robot is keeping me on desk duties, so I've been filling out these sheets which I find oddly easy." he said, waving them about.

"Oh those? Those are called cases, you and I used to work on them together sometimes" Charles's then looked up to Jake who froze in confusion. "Never mind. " he said with disappointment, forgetting that jake has no memory what so ever of him.

None.

"God. I am starving" jake said, rubbing his belly as his stomach grumbled for food.

"Oh don't worry. I know the best stall for street meat. I can take you if you want? "

"Oh god, yes please. Some real food instead of that fake crap." he said, pointing at the fruit bowl in the break room.

Hasn't changed..

* * *

Amy was back at her desk
She was glad that everything was now back on track.

Almost everything.. As she looked at jake entering the elevator with Boyle.

Amy's posture was positioned tightly and her hands traced fast words across the case file. She missed the smell of freshly printed paper, the sweet smell of coffee and the crazy manifested police precinct.

"Hey Rosa, can you pass the stapler?"

"Here you go" said a familiar voice, but not Rosa's.

Amy spun her chair and saw Teddy.

"Hey, what are you doing here?" she said in a soft manner.

"You left this again"

Teddy handed over Amy's pink pastle file.

"Oh yeah, I forgot. Thanks"

"I was also wondering maybe if you would love to go out to mine for dinner, tonight. If you are not busy" he nervously asked, scratching the back of his neck.

Amy then looked across from her desk to see jakes empty chair.

"No, not busy at all"

"Ah! Great! 6:30 sharp?"

Those words hit Amy like a thorn. Those numbers spun in her head.

6:30 sharp.
6:30 sharp.
6:30 sharp.

Okay I'll pick you up at 6:30 sharp, that's a peralta guarantee.

"Amy?" said Teddy waving his hand in her face.

"Huh!?" she jolted.

"You were disconnected there." he laughed. "You sure your okay?"

"Totally fine, just remembered something that's all.."

"So tonight still good?"

"Yep see you at 6:3- I'll just see you then" she smiled.

Teddy nodded and walked away

"CHOO! CHOO!"

"GINA!!!"

* * *

Outside where yellow cabs honked their horn and traffic was a bunk town, jake a Charles sat on a bench facing the new York streets eating a classic chilli dog.

"Damn, this is the best chilli dog Charles."

"I told ya, I know my street meat"  Boyle proudly said.

"Ppft.. That sounds like a sex tape"

Charles heart melted slightly to that nostalgic phrase. He missed him. He wanted their friendship back. But he had to take it as baby steps. No rush...

"So, what do you think of Amy?" he said, smugly raising his brows

"Who? That Santiago girl?"

"Uh huh"

"I can tell she is a neat freak and a nerd. I saw her desk, everything was just so..."

"Neat?"

"Yeah. But other than that she is nice but I feel like there is something weird about her. Weird about us"

"What kind of weird?"

"I don't know.. Like-"

"Stick em up cop!" shouted a voice as jake could feel something poke him behind his back. Jake slowly turned around to see his lover.

"Oh, hey babe"

Babe?

"What brings you out of work?" replied Sophia, planting a kiss on top of his curly brown hair.

"Charles here was just showing me his street meat"

"Title of your sex tape" said Sophia.

"Hey, that's good. I might use that" replied jake.

Charles glared at Sophia. Didn't they brake up? Does jake even remember? But how dare she steal a saying.. Jakes saying.

"Anyways... I better go, see you tonight?"

"You know it"

* * *

Amy was in her room, getting ready for her date or how she likes to call it, round two. She stood still looking in her cupboard unsure what to wear. So many choices. She then sighed realising things aren't the same anymore for her.

Amy then went on her hands and knees. She pulled out a shoe box and placed it on her bed. Her hand grazed on top of the lid, dusting away the small particals of dust. Amy then lifted off the lid gently and reached in, unfolding the item.

Her red dress.

She held it high in the air and looked at the dress. Red patches of blood were still visible and the smell of jakes cologne was printed permanently. The dress was rough and ripped. Unworthy to wear.

"It's a night I'll truly remember"

* * *

"More?" said Sophia, holding a red wine of glass.

"Sure" replied jake, holding his glass.

Both, jake and Sophia, were sitting in her living room.

"So how was going back to work?"

"Great, that Santiago girl helped me out today"

"Santiago?"

"Yeah.. Um. What's her fist name.. Amy! Amy Santiago"

"Ah yes of course, I know her... So what about her?" she replied in a optimistic tone.

"Nothing. I can tell she is a nerd. But I don't know, something feels weird"

After that Sophia only nodded, leaving a awkward silence.

"But asides to that. Dinner was great. A shame there was no desert"

Sophia smugly laughed

"Oh no, there is desert" she said in a luring tone.

"Um.. Where?"

"Here" Sophia planted her lips on jake, forcing her self on him.

Jake jumped in surprise but then melted away. He grazed his hands on her body, kissing her back contemptly. Its like he has known her before.

Tasted her before...

"Oh jake, this is a night I'll truly remember"

Just as she said those words, a blast of a screeching crash screamed in his mind. He froze in shock and covered his ears.

"Jake!!"

He then snapped back and the room went quiet again.

"Hey, what's wrong? Was it something I said?"

"No no! It's just-nothing- it's nothing. I thought I heard something that's all.."

  * * *

"So, how was work?" said Teddy, now sitting down with Amy.

"Good, it was nice to get back on track. I missed the place really. What about you?"

"Eh. Same old same old... Case after case. Oh speaking of case's. Have you found out on anything about the crash?"

"Unfortunately not, Rosa's been to every car sales man to see if there was records of the car. Nothing there... But we ain't letting this go"

"Definitely. I'll even help! I've got nothing better to do"

"That sweet of you, but you dont-"

"No no I insist"

"okay okay! Fine" she giggled.

The room went quiet and Teddy was admiring Amy. She felt flattered and her cheeks went a flush red.

The way she went with jake.

Ding

"Oh that will be dinner. Wanna join me at the table?"

"I would be delighted"

They both got up and made their way to the table, Teddy pulled out a seat for Amy to sit down, and as a gentleman, he pushed her in.

Oh god am I catching feelings for him again?

"Wine for the lady?" he said, lowering his tone

"Just this one glass" she smirked.

Minutes later, Teddy came back with their meal. All through the night they were just exchanging loving glares and embarrassed smiles.

It was romantic. A feeling Amy has missed.

She then started to pour Teddy another glass.

"So, a black dress this time. What ever happened to that flaming red one?"

Amy then knocked over the wine glass, spilling it on Teddy. The thought of her dress just made her feel.

Scared?

"Oh god, Teddy I'm so sorry"

"Hey no it's okay. Just a accident" he said, dabbing himself with a napkin

"Let me help"

"Your okay. Can you just fetch me a new pair of trousers upstairs?"

"Of course!"

Amy ran up the stairs and entered teddy's room. She stopped and spotted his drawer set and walked over to it, admiring his neat room. She opened it to see everything was neat and colour corrected.

"Discreetly folded and colour corrected? My my Teddy... You have changed."

She then ruffled through the drawer to find a matching pair, but her fingers grazed over something square. Amy then pulled it out to see it was a black box

"What on earth..."

She then looked behind her, just in case. Sue then placed the box on top of his unit, looking at it.

Should I?

She bit her lip, unsure if it was right or wrong.

He won't know...

Amy took off the lid, unsure what lies within. She placed the lid down and looked in.

"Black gloves?" she said in disappointment "Wait a minute..these aren't just any gloves.. These are the gloves from the footage. These are the gloves from the night. These gloves belong to the mystery man... Teddy. TEDDY IS THE MAN."

Amy grabbed the gloves and spun around.

"Where you goin ames? Night has just begun..." said Teddy. Blocking the bedroom door.

"Teddy, just move away from the door"

"Now why would I do that?"

"Don't make this worse than what it is. It's done. You've been caught."

"Aww..leaving so soon?" he said, stepping closer to her.

"Please. Just let me leave" she said, stepping away from him

"You think I will let you escape with that?" he said,still stepping closer.

"Teddy..."

Amy then felt that her back was now against the wall, she felt afraid as Teddy came closer to her and she was trapped. He was now up close to her, face to face.

"Guess you finally cracked the case, eh Santiago?"

She then suddenly felt an electrical shock pulse at her stomach. It made her body go numb and fall to the floor in pain, gripping her stomach. She looked up to see teddy was grinning holding a taser.

"Oh ames.." he said, lowering down on his knees and placing his hand on her chin "It's a night you will truly remember."

Teddy them smothered her face in a cloth covered in chloroform.  The room started to fade, so did teddy's laugh.

Then nothing.

Amy was out cold.
