AU TIME ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ
Brief detective+sidekick AU of Elsa and Colton, written by the lovely Lex <3
"Go home, Colton," Elsa sighed, looking up from the file she was reading over for what must’ve been the hundredth time. Though she offered the young man a smile, it was feeble, and the way she sat slumped over the papers made it obvious she was exhausted. "We’ll try again tomorrow, okay?"
When Colton left, Elsa decided one more read through then she’d go home as well. Nothing. Not a damn clue and she’d read the case front to back and back to front so much she felt almost as if she could recite what all the documents said. Letting out an exasperated groan she shut the manilla folder and pushed her chair back as she got to her feet. Locking the file in the cabinet, she grabbed her coat and strode out of the room, a pensive frown on her face, her hands shoved into her pockets.
She wracked her brain for something, anything, that might help as she got into her car and drove home. Going through the motions of pouring herself a glass of wine after draping her coat over the back of a chair, she finally thought of something. Picking up her phone Elsa waited for the ringing to stop and the sound of his hello on the other end to greet her. “I have something,” she remarked.
————————
"We have a body," the other detective spoke when she answered her phone the following morning.
"I’ll be there," Elsa replied after receiving the location.
Upon arriving, the woman lifted the yellow crime scene tape and stepped beneath it, stopping when she’d reached the body. Colton, her sidekick, lay there. She was still scanning the surrounding area when she felt her phone vibrate and stepped away for a minute to read the message: Lasseter’s been taken care of.
#i don’t know it just happened i’m sorry bye#it was meant to be shorter#elsa probably believes what she’s done is the right thing even if she doesn’t like it#that’s how she’d feel if she had to take part in killing someone working on the same side as her
Including my tags because I originally wrote this in the OOC blog but then thought maybe it was too lengthy and I should put it in your submit instead haha.
