Characters: Adalene Rios (As Roselyn Milon) and Aiden Adams
Setting: The ACDN Office
Content: Worksafe I'm sure
Summary: Adalenewants more answers and pretends to come across a murder/missing persons case for Aiden to research for her.

Adalene held onto the thick file on her lap. It was worn and obviously had been read a billion times. She closed her eyes and held on to it tight close to her. You can do this. You came to this city for answers. You can do this! She talked herself up. Adalene had shifted without wanting to in the shower that morning. She was starting to worry that if she didn't find out the answers she needed what would happen to her? Would she finally lose herself until Adalene was nothing but an empty shell where the dead can enter and live through again? Roselyn pened her eyes when she felt she was finally ready.

Letting out a sigh she closed the drawer with her foot and stood to walk over to Aiden's desk. When she arrived she still held the case file close to herself and bit her lip a moment while she went through what she was going to say out loud once again in her head.

"Hey...Aiden..." she said when she finally got herself together, "I've got this case I'm covering...it's a murder with a missing persons added onto it...something seems...off to me. I was wondering if you could look into it for me?" Adalene looked out of Roselyn's eyes into Aiden's in desperate hope that he would say yes without asking too many questions.

Aiden nodded, waving her away with one hand as he continued scanning over the pages.
“I know. I know. Don’t print it yet.” He glanced up, smiling warmly at her. “Sure I can do this, I’ve always got a few spare hours and you know what it’s like – make sure you have a couple of things on the go, you never know when something’s going to fall through.”

Whatever he said though Aiden wasn’t sure he wouldn’t go over Roselyn’s head and publish if it was a good enough story. He’d been here longer and if the story was good enough then the editor would side with him. Journalism was a cutthroat business and Roselyn would understand that when she’d got a few more years under her belt. Aiden needed to cover all his bases and provide something every week or else he couldn’t support himself and James. Maybe she’d understand that when she had her own child to take care of.
