The Cop

By G.J. Robbins

Fear invades my body, my eyes fill with tears as I watch the police enter my house armed, I feel cold since it is three in the morning, it doesn't help that my pajamas are made of fine fabric anyway.
I didn't understand what was happening. Why are they here? What are they looking for? I ask myself many questions but I can't articulate a single word.
I feel like the look of the policeman makes me uncomfortable, those gray eyes and that body full of ink scared me, but deep down I knew that with him nothing bad could happen to me.

Chapter 1

Narrates Paulina

Friday morning seven thirty, I was about to leave my room in my work uniform, when I came across the idiot David, my friend's boyfriend. Look.

What the hell are you doing here?

You don't see it or you're blind, I slept here, she answers with arrogance.

And wouldn't it be better if you took Miren to your huge mansion? I asked with a frown.

But here I enjoy more, knowing that you hear our moans. He touches my cheek with his dirty hand.

Don't touch me again, I yelled. I've already told your girlfriend a thousand times that I didn't want men in my apartment and even less for them to stay over, I shout again.

-You know? Now I understand why you are alone, no one wanted a girlfriend like you bitter - he points out.

-Moron.

-Dumb

Asshole, we insulted each other and then I slammed the door on the front door.

But who thinks it's useless to talk to me this way in my own house. I'll have a good chat with Miren when I get back from work, this has to end. Above that he lives for free, and does not contribute anything, he brings me men home, he has noses.

Definitely today they made my day bitter I speak to myself.

I walk through the corridors of the hospital where I work, in the distance I see Damián smile. Damien is the doctor of the plant where I am assigned, he is a good friend, and an excellent companion.

Good morning, Dwarf he greets me as usual.

I already told you not to call me that way, I scold him.

It's that you're a dwarf, you can't help it, he mocks my height.

Damien, you're crossing the limits, I warn.

Come on dwarf, don't tell me I'm to blame for your bad mood.

If it was only your comment that bothered me, I say. But no... my friend's boyfriend has me sick of it, one day I'm going to murder him, I laugh at the comment.

In that case let me know to help you hide his body, he hesitates.

-I'll keep it in mind. Anyway... let's change the subject.

Would you like to eat together after the shift is over?

Are you asking me out on a date?

Damien is a married man, there is only a great friendship between him and me.

Well if you call him a date to eat with my wife, fine, he laughs.

Mmmm, count on it then, plus it'll be good for me to distract myself a bit.

After an interesting chat with Damián, I get to work, as there were patients who needed to be seen. The morning passes quickly, the truth is that I love my profession, I love being a nurse since I was a child, I wanted to dedicate myself to the world of health and I did.

My parents would be proud of me.

Dwarf, are you ready? Damien asks, taking off his white coat.

Give me a second to put my coat on and we're off.

We walked to his house which was two minutes from the hospital. Once inside, his wife comes downstairs and we meet at the entrance.

Hi Hanna, I greet her with a hug.

—Paulina wanted, How are you?

Well, I hope it doesn't bother you that I signed up for the plan?

What are you saying? I'm not at all delighted that you're joining us, she answers.

They greet each other with a passionate kiss, they love each other very much and Damien idolizes her. They have been trying for years to have children but to no avail, Hanna has polycystic ovaries, and that makes it difficult for her to ovulate.

The afternoon passed between laughter and anecdotes, the food was exquisite, and I had a great time with them.

I would like to find someone to love one day, I mean to share my life with another person in love and respect. My love life is nil, in fact I have never been with any man, I am very difficult at that. Those who approach me just want sex and then a I don't know you and it really went from just a few minutes of pleasure.

Well it also has a lot to do with the fact that I have not seen anyone that shocked me so much to sleep with him, although in this case it would be the first, let's say I'm looking for someone unique, different, but I don't know if he will exist.

I walk in garter steps to get home and talk to Miren, I'm going to give him an ultimatum or stop bringing his novice home or leave.

I went into my apartment, I take a shower and I look in every corner for Look but not a trace, I imagine that he went out with that unfortunate.

Damn you, you escaped me, I muttered.

I'm going to sleep because I'm dead from exhaustion, I won't even have dinner, I just want to close my eyes and rest.

A strong blow makes me jump out of bed with fright, I stay still waiting for another blow to confirm that I am not dreaming.

Another even louder knock makes the door of my house open, I run out knowing what was happening, but I am petrified when I see many policemen enter my apartment as if they were looking for a serial killer.

Three of them point the gun at me.

Put your hands up, they yell.

Chapter 2

Fear invades my body, my eyes fill with tears, as I watch the police enter my house armed, I feel cold since it is three in the morning and let's say that my pajamas are made of fine fabric does not help much.

I let out a slow sigh when I see the gun pointed at me.

I did not understand what was happening, why are they here? What are they looking for? I ask myself many questions in my mind but I could not pronounce my mouth.

I feel how the look of a policeman makes me uncomfortable, those grayish eyes and that body full of ink scared me, he was staring at me from afar as if my life depended on his gaze.

They enter my friend's bedroom, they take her out handcuffed with her boyfriend who was only in his underwear just like her.

What's going on?

Nobody answers me, the policemen who are pointing the gun at me look at me as if I were a criminal. One of them was going to put the handcuffs on me, but the boy with the gray eyes stops him.

Don't touch her, he yelled from the other end of the house.

But boss... says one of them but is interrupted.

I told you not to touch her, and you guys put down your weapons, he orders.

A chill runs down my spine, seeing how he approached me.

He is quite attractive, his look is shocking and his body full of tattoos make him even more interesting. He doesn't look like a policeman, if it weren't for the gun and the bulletproof vest I'd say he's a criminal or worse.

Are you okay? He asks a few inches from me.

I'm not okay, I gulped. This has to be a mistake, it's at my house.

You have one of the most wanted drug traffickers in the country in your house, he speaks with a frown.

My gaze is fixed on him, while my mouth draws a perfect o, I was surprised by what he just told me. How was she to know that Miren's boyfriend was into that?

Now we're going to the police station and we'll talk there. He grabs
