Detective Isabella "Bella" Russo
Age: 27

*****
"Come on...." Bella looked at her watch...another minute to go. "Please don't, please.." she said over and over to herself. Never in her life had she been so nervous, so...out of control until now.

She was so lost in her thoughts that it took her several seconds to realize her watch alarm was sounding. She turned it off as she walked back to the bathroom and looked on the counter... It was like her whole world stopped and she was walking in slow motion. She picked up the stick and saw the lines, confirming her suspicions right.

"OH SHIT!" She said out loud as she ran to the toilet to throw up...nope, it wasn't that she was disgusted, she was pregnant.

*~* One hour later *~*
As she walked into a sub contracted building for the NYPD, Bella kept her to herself, ignored everyone and their good mornings and went straight to her desk. Seeing her desk as she walked she realized there were a stack of files on there. With a muttered sigh, she took a seat and started to go through the files.

Her stomach still hadn't settled down and it crossed Bella's mind that she really had no one to ask about the pregnancy. Her mom had died over 17 years ago, her dad well, he was going to have a field day with this. No sisters, just brothers, all working for the Fire Department.

Her mind wandered back to how it all happened. One too many drinks, she wasn't on the pill, they had used protection... apparently, they beat the odds.

To make it all worthwhile for the gossipers out there, he was a fellow cop... Well, with a different department and it had been over 2 months ago when she and most of the department were at the Governor's Ball. She had a little too much to drink and was of course, hanging out with the guys. One thing led to another and well, she ended up having a one night stand.

Damn, what was probably worst was that she only knew his last name and rank...

Yeah, today was going to be a wonderful day...please note the sarcasm....

Terry O'Reilly
Special Agent FBI
29/m

Most of Agent O'Reilly's work was done in coordination with the NYPD. He had established a relationship with the top brass of the NYPD and they trusted that he would not do anything to damage their cases or to hijack the cases from them. His relationship was so good with the NYPD that he had received an invitation to the Governor's Ball. He had just broken up with his long-time girlfriend, and ended up hooking up with a female police officer. Fortunately, he had protection with him.

______________________________________________________________

Today he started a new task with the NYPD. He was being called in to consult with them. Apparently they had a case that may be linked to cases in other states. In addition to consulting, he would coordinate between police agencies. The only problem was that he had no idea of what the case was about. He walked into the building... looking to see if there was someone he had worked with before..... someone he recognized. There certainly was.... He saw her standing by a desk.

Bella had walked into the offices this morning as if nothing were amiss. She had done a lot of research before coming in regarding pregnancy and such. Most she didn't like that she'd have to watch what she ate. She could abide by most of the rules but the one thing that was mentioned was coffee...let alone caffeine.

She loved her coffee....damnit!

This morning, dressed in a pair of form fitting jeans, blouse and jacket over it, her weapon holstered underneath. She was standing at her desk, looking a file.

As soon as she had come into work, she was summoned by the captain, who informed her they would be having some help on the 'Hensen' case. A case of a woman who had started off as a petty criminal and has no escalated into something more...a killer, a murderer....possibly a spy for Russia or Germany...

That's where the help of the FBI came in.

Bella didn't know which agent would be coming in but she needed to be prepared. She needed her mind on this case 100% but how could she with all things that's happened so far?

 

[BeachBum25]

A guy in a suit approached O'Reilly and introduced him as Captain Jenkins. He said he was the Commanding Officer of the NYPD Task Force. O'Reilly introduced himself, and asked who he would be working with.

Jenkins pointed. The person Jenkins pointed to was the one person that O'Reilly recognized. "Russo is heading up the case. She will be able to fill you in and get you up to speed," Captain Jenkins told him.

O'Reilly looked at Jenkins and smiled. "Great. Thanks a lot Captain. Before I introduce myself, do you have any coffee here. I was running a little late and didn't want to stop on the way in." Jenkins pointed to a small little kitchen and O'Reilly headed in to get a cup.

O'Reilly poured two cups. He figured he would offer Russo some coffee as an ice breaker. He carried the cups to Russo's desk. "Hello Detective Russo, I am Special Terry O'Reilly." He offered her the cup of coffee instead of his hand for a handshake.

 

[zydrate]

"Gotcha!" Bella exclaimed as she found the file and turned around, only to collide with a chest in her face..."Oof.."

Bella took a step back and looked up, that cologne...she recognized it very well...

"Hello Detective Russo, I am Special Agent Terry O'Reilly."

Looking down in his hands, Bella saw the cups of coffee...even though the coffee at the station was extremely crappy, it was coffee nonetheless... She took the offered cup and set it down on her desk, "Wow, sorry about that Special Agent O'Reilly..." at least now she had a first name.

"So, you're the fresh meat that was sent down to assist us? Welcome!" she told him as she took a step back, realizing how close they were. Bella was sure that she was talking fast but she needed a way to cover up her surprise.

It was him....they sent him to work with her? Of all people..wow...

 

[BeachBum25]

"Fresh meat" he laughed. "Yea, that's me. How have you been Detective?" O'Reilly looked at Russo. She was as hot as he remembered her. He tried to keep from moving his eyes over her body by looking directly into her eyes.

He didn't know where to take the conversation. She seemed uncomfortable, which was indicated by the way that she was talking a mile a minute. He decided that the best thing to do was to keep the discussion professional.

"So, why don't you tell the fresh meat what this case is all about. All I know is that there might be other jurisdictions involved." Terry waited as Russo looked over the file and began to fill him in.

 

[zydrate]

"I've been...good.." how else was she suppose to answer that? Bella waved the file back and forth, fanning herself because it had suddenly become hot in her surroundings.

But damn, he looked good. Very good that he made Bella's breath catch in her throat.

"Tell you what, let's go some where more private so we can talk...some of the specifics on the case are a bit sensitive..follow me?" She purposefully left the coffee on the table and turned toward one of the small interrogation rooms where they could talk more about the case.

 

[BeachBum25]

Terry followed Russo into the interrogation room. He did not mind following her at all. The body was incredible.... the ass was perfect. He watched her sit down at the table. He closed the door behind him and sat across the table from her.

"So, tell me Detective Russo, what is so sensitive about this case that you couldn't talk about it in front of your colleagues?" O'Reilly looked at her. He was trying to get a read on her, because he was getting an uneasy vibe from her.

 

[zydrate]

"Well, it's the sensitivity really, it's more like we may have a leak in the department."

Bella could see he was about to interject but she continued, "I know, hard to believe. This person, this Jessica Hensen, is very much wanted for so much.." she gave him the file which showed a picture of a young blonde woman, who's age was estimated to be 33, a driver's license picture was all they had to go on.

"So far, if we were to bring her in today, she would be facing identity theft and student loan fraud." She saw the look in his eyes as he glanced at Bella, "Yeah, not enough to stick really and if it were to stick, then she'd get 6 months on good behaviour but... I don't want to bring her in on just that. She's also been tied to Vinnie Corlando, up and coming mob boss for the east side of town. She started off small time but I tell ya, she's hit the big time fast..."
