Required word = suspicion
Forbidden words = Soap, hard, officer, effigy
Bonus words (25) = Tell us, who’s the sexiest cop on TV?
Extra Credit (25) = Confess to a crime you committed (or want to commit)

========================

Partners. Two years – longer than he’d put up with anyone – from green rookie to one of the guys.  She’s better than I am at a lot of it now.  Our desks faced each other in the squad room.  We’ve watched each other’s backs, saved each other’s skins, laughed, cried and drank together and… I get to read her big news in a frickin email?! 
FBI.  Congratulations.  Hoist one after work at the bar.  Blah blah.  I look up – she’s watching me, as usual. 
“I meant to tell you,” she whispered and sighed.  “But the Harrison thing and… never found the right moment.” 
“Yeah.  Sure.  Whatever.  Congratulations.” I huffed.  
“Be happy for me,” she pleaded softly. 
“Oh I am.  Great news.  But I am miserable for me!” I whined.  I knew I should be a grown-up about this but it was too hard.  I’d had a suspicion but… never thought she’d leave me. 
“You’re missing the point,” she said, shutting off her light and stomping off.   I was stunned… could not grasp that I won’t see her every day.  I’ve never felt such loss.  How am I going to survive?  Seeing her at the bar now and then, maybe a wedding or heaven forbid a funeral?  Or on some Federal case when she shows up to second guess me? 
Wait… what was that last thing she said?  The point?  What is the point?  
It hit me like a ton of bricks.  We won’t be working together anymore!  I can turn on all those feelings for her I worked so hard to turn off!  Does she want that?  Is that the point?  I allowed myself to think about what that meant… unbuttoning, touching her gorgeous tits, kissing those lips, hearing her moan when I… 
Where’d she go?  Her tote’s on her chair; she’s still here.  I checked the break room, the boss’ office.  Other cops shouted about the news – I plastered on a smile and threw them a thumbs-up.  Finally Carla, the evidence room clerk who seems to know everything, pointed me to the locker room.  
I thought no one was in there but then I heard the water and headed to the showers and saw her.  Naked.  Wet.  Waiting.    
“What took you so long?” she said.  
====================
BONUS WORDS: I haven’t watched TV in almost three years, but two cops-types are sexy enough to make me catch up with their series on the DVR – Mark Harmon of “NCIS” and Simon Baker as “The Mentalist.”  My favorite from recent years is Damian Lewis from “Life.”  So there’s my redhead, blonde and silver-haired sexiest men!

    ha ha ha ha …. guys are SOOO clueless. There is a silver lining to every dark cloud, it just takes our neanderthal brains a while to get there.

    Excellent finish within so few words.

    Great FFFing with you! (to steal a phrase)
