The Day of the Poker Party
06:00 – Get up, shower, breakfast for Darrin and Aaron
07:00 – Drive to school, drop Aaron off.
08:00 – Get to precinct. Get nasty jabs and wolf whistled. One of these days, when I see them in the bar, I may just kick their ass. Doing paperwork and going through a few cases.
09:00 – Still going through a few cases.
10:17 – Aaron calls to remind me to pick myself up a costume.
10:31 – Take a call about a case with a body that disintegrated to ashes. Spontaneous combustion, yeah right. Vampire.
10:59 – Get to the scene of the reported spontaneous combustion. Lots of blood. Maybe the human actually won this time.
11:27 – Another call to check out a woman stabbed to death. Finally something normal. We’ll catch your ex lady. I hate domestic violence.
12:14 – Grabbed a lettuce wrap on the way to the precinct.
12:37 – Text from Aaron. “Can Jarod and Seth get a ride with me to the party?” Reply: “Sure honey!”
13:25 – Sifting through more cases.
14:45 – Warehouse lead for someone that could be a serial killer.
15:58 – Leave to pick up Aaron and his friends. Call to Darrin. “Hey, you’re going to pick up Aaron at 11 right? I have that costume party or whatever the hell it is tonight.” Pause. “Thanks brother, you’re a peach.”
16:17 – Grab some dinner. “Mom, don’t forget your costume.” – “Oh yeah, thanks hun. Busy day at work. Hey, are we going to the Haunted Corn Maze tomorrow?” – “Yeah! Just you and me and the extra-creep run. Whoohoo!”
17:36 – Finish helping Aaron put on his Zombie gear. Paint his face, blood in his hair, ground up gummy worms for some odd reason. Kitchen = Disaster, Arron = Happy.
18:39 – Drop Aaron and all his friends off at the party. Grabbed cash at ATM for poker.
19:12 – Go to costume store. Stare at costumes. Sneer at what’s left. Pick something in my size and say Fuck It!
19:32 – Pays and heads to the Spiral.
