This may seem a bit tragic/drama or whatever but these are fun to write.

The room was quiet. She was alone in her apartment working on her laptop. Selena was in her living room with the T.V. on mute. She was so busy on her computer that she didn't notice the lock click open and someone come into the apartment. The person snuck up behind her and grabbed her shoulder. She turned around and almost jumped.

"Leo, don't do that! Please."

Leo chuckled as he moved so he was in front of her. "Sorry. Are you ok?" Leo was refering to the turn the case had taken. After finding out the note she had recieved from her ex-boyfriend that was a suspect in the case, Leo wanted to make sure she was ok. He also learned he was abusive, yet Selena was able to hide the wounds before today.

"I'm fine. I just plan not to see my ex right now." Leo put a hand on her knee. She flinched and he realized he had touched a bruise. A tear rolled down her cheek. "I feel so weak, Leo. I have never felt this way before. Why do I feel this way?"

Leo put an arm around her lightly, careful not to hit any bruises. "You're human, Selee. It's normal." He closed the laptop and moved it. "Come on. You need to leave here and stay with someone else. He's going to look here. I'll help you."

"Ok. I'll go pack a bag." Selena got up and went to her bedroom. Leo began to gather things in her living room she would need, like her laptop, badge and gun.

Selena grabbed a bag out of her closet and began filling it with clothes, pajamas, underwear and jackets. She went to her bathroom to grab her things but quickly backed out with her arms up. A gun poked out then her ex stepped out.

"What are you doing, Chad? You aren't supposed to be here."

"I know you have your boss over so don't scream, or it will be the last thing you do. Now move." He spun her around and pushed her toward her room.

"What do you want? I don't have anything you could possibly want to have."

Chad pushed her onto the bed and laughed, still having the gun trained at her. "You do have something I want. You." Selena just stared at him. "Selena, my dear, I missed you. I thought you missed me too. You're mine and only mine." His hand traced her jaw bone. She flinched again.

Leo noticed she hadn't come out of her room yet. He started to proceed toward her room and heard voices. Mostly Chad's voice. Selena's was weak and shaky. He removed his gun and listened, trying to make sure she wasn't hurt.

"Get your hands off of me! You have no right." He heard her hands swat his away. He recoiled and hit her back. He heard her make contact with the mattress.

Leo chose that time to enter the room. "Get your hands off of her, Chad."

"You won't catch me!" Chad pulled out a ball and dropped it. The room filled with smoke. By the time it cleared, Chad was gone and Selena was curled up on her bed. Leo pocketed his gun and went by the girl.

"Everything is going to be fine." He noticed a bruise forming on her face. "Let's get some ice on that." He picked up the bag by her bed and led her to the kitchen where he got her some ice. Selena was near tears. "It's ok. You'll be fine." Tears began to pour out. Leo walked over to where she sat on the counter and let her lean on him.
