Nice Guy

There is an audible click as I flick the lock on the door to the interrogation room. I make a mental note to make sure my will is up to date.
She will kill me later.
In my own defense, I did warn her.
I shouldn't be listening on the room mike nor should I be watching through the one way mirror, but if I am going to die, I am going to die knowing what happened in that room.
And I am reminded of another night where Alexis took it upon herself to make it clear that activity like this was illegal.
I invaded her personal space that night for the first time in forever.
She still used the same soap.
He loves her.
Let me rephrase.
Most men love her.
He's in love with her.
I can see it. Watching them together. She is his focus.
He's also an idiot.
I knew this afternoon she loved him.
I know by watching her now she's in love with him.
It's almost painful to watch, and yet I can't stop watching them.
The mobster and the lawyer.
We should have all seen this coming.
She's sitting now, and he's looking down at her. He usually invades her personal space like it is no big deal. And she lets him.
Usually.
But not now.
Not today.
She's in full on defense mode. And the name Carly comes up.
I bet the temperature in that room just dropped 10 degrees.
I should be a nice guy and end this now. But, I am curious to see how he handles this. He is no angel in this situation. And I almost hope she refuses to let him off the mat.
I am tired of being the nice guy.
They never fall for the nice guys.
She's standing now and moving away from him.
She's going to tell him.
I hold my breath, and I realize that they are too.
"I'm pregnant."
That's my cue.
I leave to open the door.
The click is less audible as I unlock the door.
They're just getting started
