    TW: Mentions of abuse and some swearing.“Detective Nunez had recently been promoted from the rank of officer. He has admitted to a string of assaults against registered paedophiles near his home. Several of the men were left unable to function psychologically. One committed suicide shortly after being attacked.” I read from my phone.            “Why did he do it?” Billie asks, bouncing baby Tina on her lap. “Even if he isn’t convicted, his career is over.”            “He was keeping them off my trail.

    Have a Nice Day

    Gina works at the twenty four hour diner during the day. She has the most seniority of the servers so she can pick her shift. The day shift is always busy and that helps the time go by quickly. Nights are hit or miss. Gina would rather be busy so she picks the day shift. Days can be long and hard but she is grateful for the job.“Morning, what can I get ya to drink?” Gina asks a young businessman that just sat down at the counter.
