Soldier On

Shane Casey || 29 || Detective Every morning, I wake up and forget just for a second that it happened. But once my eyes open, it buries me like a landslide of sharp, sad rocks. Once my eyes open, I’m heavy, like there’s to much gravity on my heart.

The longer she spent at the Spring Festival, the more Mia’s inner child came out. The work part was kind of a bummer, especially having to watch kids lose, that was kind of the worst, but even that couldn’t ruin her mood. She paid and turned around in line, smiling at the person behind her. “How much would you judge me right now if I ate my weight in candy floss?” she asked, ripping off a piece of the fluffy pink stuff to put it in her mouth. “Want some?”

[shanexcasey]

“Hey, this is a judgement free zone squirt.“ He returned, raising his hands in surrender, before playfully stealing a handful of the fluffy pink goodness. “Like you even had to ask.”

A foot tapped rapidly on the ground, knowing by now all too well what was coming, and so he should have, he’d lost count of the amount of times he’d been shoved under the bucket.. The sting of the ice, the quick spread of goosebumps across his skin, not to mention what came after it was gone against the slight breeze. “I swear..–” Too late. Water cascaded over him, Jimmy biting down on his tongue as he growled in somewhat of an amused manner. It was almost instantaneous, him shooting up from his seat. “Done… I’m done. Never again. I volunteer all of you assholes for the next lot, I’ll pay it forward.” Despite his audible distaste, the smirk on his lips was unmovable, the laugh hidden between words pushing through pursed lips as he wrung out the hem of his shirt.

[shanexcasey]

“Oh come on Atwood, don’t be such a kill joy. Pick up the bottom lip from the floor before you trip over it.“ Shane countered, unable to contain his laughter as the now drowned rat of a male emerged from the tank.

Max regarded the next person in line with a playful look. He hadn’t yet had his turn to be put under ice water, but his some of his friends and colleagues had been — and just the sight of them were making people come towards the booth. Between them and this person in line, there were only two of them dry enough at the moment. With a smile, he took the donation handed him and said, “So. Are you going under the water, or is someone else?”

[shanexcasey]

Shane groaned at the expression of his male counterpart, rolling his eyes in reply as he hauled off his shirt and stepped up to the dunk tank. “I’ll take one for the team.“

[hanna-atwood-blog]

“I feel I should just be really up front and say that I don’t like to lose, so I don’t. Still want to play?” She held up the tickets she had at the booth, a good-natured grin on her lips as she raised a brow at the other. 

[shanexcasey]

“I don’t know what’s more amusing-- the fact you think you’re going to win or the fact you think I’d back down.“

[deactivated-blog]

“Do it, and I will skin you alive and turn you into a purse!” Aubree warned the child who’d somehow gotten ahold of a water gun and had it directed towards her. He laughed and her gaze narrowed. “You think I’m kiddin——” A gasp erupted from her lips as the frigid water hit her chest and soaked the white dressed she’d put on. “Fucking little brat!” the blonde screeched as he ran away giggling. Turning quickly to find the nearest bathroom, the blonde found herself stumbling into someone and almost landing in a pile of dirt. “Jesus Mother of Christ. Do you even ever look where you’re going?”

[shanexcasey]

“Is there a problem here?“

“One hundred percent you would lie to me. And you’re harassing me, is what,” she joked, taking a sip of her water as she leaned against the bar top, “yeah? What am I supposed to be waiting for?”

[shanexcasey]

“I would never. But thanks for having the utmost faith in me Atwood, it’s highly appreciated.“ He returned, tone teasing as he toyed with the bottle in his hands. “Only time will tell.”

[almagnoliasprings]

      “I could’ve but I didn’t want to take the shine off you. Always did want to go into it but my father always said no. Though that didn’t stop my brothers from sneaking me into shooting ranges and bootcamps.” The honey blonde female had once considered a career in law enforcement but she knew too well her father would probably disown her if she had. “Besides I think I found what I like – traveling the world and helping kids – it has its joys – trust me.” She firmly added with a tilt of her beer towards him. “Though we do not get to have eye candy as you. Damn shame.” Placing her drink down she nodded in agreement, “That right there is why I come all the way here.” She said pointing to his smile, “Cause I can’t get that in Meade – but don’t tell the Abercrombie males that. I’m still within their graces.”

[shanexcasey]

“How considerate of you.” The detective replied, bemused smirk crossing his lips as he listened. “Wait a second -- you snuck into a shooting range? Well colour me surprised. Gotta admire a woman that goes after what she wants, despite daddy dearests wishes. Though I have to ask, just how good are you with a weapon?“ Shane inquired, curiosity evident throughout his features as he took another swig of his beer. “Sounds like you found your calling then. Must be nice.” He murmured, in quiet contemplation. “You callin’ me eye candy?” The male teased, shoulder nudging her own playfully as his trademark shit eating grin widened. “What can I say, I aim to please, Miss Hamilton. It’ll be our little secret.”

“I can’t exactly remember what happened after…I think about one last night. I’m sure somebody knows, there’s probably pictures. Your face looks familiar though, were you there?”

“I’m only the guy that hauled your drunken ass off the sidewalk. If it weren’t for me bringing you home I’m fairly certain you’d still be passed out in the gutter..“

[delilahgallaghxr-blog]

Suddenly pausing in her stride, Delilah veered off the sidewalk and neared a tree to read a Lost / Stolen Pet sign. “Fifteen hundred dollars? Seriously? I could use this money.” Delilah announced before tugging the poster off. Someone in the neighborhood was missing their Labradoodle. “We’re going to find Luca. I’ll give you 0% of the reward. C’mon!”

[shanexcasey]

“ -- We’re doing what now?“

[deactivated-blog]

“I have a few ideas. Some involve your handcuffs, and all of them involve that police suit of yours.” Her finger danced along his chest. 

[shanexcasey]

“You got a thing for men in uniform or something?“

[harleykincaid-deactivated202109]

“Kiss my ass, Casey.” Harley threw over her shoulder with a sly grin. “You got caught at work and you don’t even come in that uniform? You know how much I like a man in his uniform. Fucking shame. Do you at least have your cuffs?”

[shanexcasey]

“Nah, you’d enjoy that a little too much.“ Shane remarked, motioning to the bartender for his usual. “You of all people should know he only time I wear that uniform is on special occasions. Being a plain clothed officer is but one of the many perks of being a detective. I may do..”

[roandthegang-blog]

“I have a strong feeling of no…”

[shanexcasey]

“ -- Wise woman.“

[aliciavikanderrps-deactivated20]

“Must you always take it back to that? — You really don’t wanna take no for an answer, do you? But my shifts never stop, you should know that by now. So, unless you wanna drink at the bar at my restaurant, then we’re gonna have to reschedule.”

[shanexcasey]

“Not my fault you were embarrassed to be seen with me the first time round -- Let’s be honest here, when have I ever taken no for an answer. Yeah no, I don’t fancy socializing with the rich and famous. Princesses do my head in.“

[shanexcasey]

      “What can I say? When I was young I inspired to be the best of the best – though I knew that I would never be able to pull of Sherlock so I just decided not to. I feel like I should be offended since you know you could say I have enough money to do the action that you managed to describe. I apologize for my people I suppose – though I really can’t speak for them. I do hope they’re not as awful they sound – at least I hope I don’t come off like that.” She benevolently smiled at Shane as she leaned against the counter and started to pull the peanuts from the counter making a line as she waited for the drink. “Are people from Belle Meade not allowed down here? I guess – the apartment got lonely and Belle Meade just didn’t seem to have the welcoming factor I suppose.”

“How did you know if you never gave it a shot? For all you know you could have been Nashville’s very own Sherlock Holmes. And heaven knows the PD could do with some easy on the eye employees. Okay, so maybe that came out a little harsher than I intended, but I mean no disrespect. Admittedly you’re not all the same, after all, you are walking talking proof of that.“ He replied, gaze shifting to the neatly lined row of peanuts before her. “Not at all, I guess they just don’t make a habit of meddling wit us middle class folk. Belle Meade also  doesn’t have me, so I understand.” He joked lightly, trademark grin tugging at his lips as their drinks were placed in front of them.

“Got a twin brother who lives in town too— He just moved here a few weeks back. And my older brother has been visiting for a couple of weeks, but they both like watching me suffer… Hence why I’m asking you, Mr. Stranger for help.”

[shanexcasey]

“Sounds to me like they’re just to pussy to man up and deal with the situation. Fine-- I’ll do it. Lead the way. And for the record it’s Shane..“

[chloexmichaels-blog]

“Wait you’re an officer? That’s hot,” Tom murmed, more to himself. “I was actually going to say that I stillgot work later, but I can’t say no to an officer now can I?”

[shanexcasey]

“Actually I’m a detective, if you want to get technical..“ Shane shrugged before slipping his phone into his pocket. “And an off-duty one for the record.“
