but she held a grudge. It was too little too late once words are spoken or in this case printed they can ever be retracted.
     
    Luckily she was tough she bounced back and kept pushing forward. By continuing to focus on her career and surrounding herself with competent staff she excelled.
     
    She managed to not only be the youngest D.A. ever appointed but she also had the highest conviction rate. Those were her accomplishments and fake affair or not she earned her title.
     
    After lunch they headed back to the office. It was going to be a long day. The day progressed a lot busier than usual. The congressman’s death prompted a lot media and political attention.
     
    The phone rang literally off the hook all day, Karen was so overwhelmed that eventually she left if off the hook just so she could catch up with the scheduling from the previous calls.
     
    Not to mention the slew of unscheduled visitors that showed up trying to see either the A.D.A or D.A.  Unfortunately for them Mya was a fair person and she did not see unscheduled visitors regardless of their title.
     
    The schedule got booked really fast and there was nothing available for the rest of the day. Merrick had the only available appointment for the afternoon.
     
    The conference call with the deputy major went well. The discussed the untimely death of the congressman and what details would and could be issued to the press.
     
    Notifying the family was the first priority and that “privilege” was given to the police commissioner and deputy mayor. The “meeting” took over two hours but it was eventful.
     
    Mya anticipated running late and instructed Karen to escort Merrick to her office when he arrived and offer him libation.  As predicted the meeting went way over and Merrick and Chris arrived punctually.
     
    After Mya left in the elevator he was jolted. This was unusual since women never had that effect on him. The long walk back to his office helped clear his head or so he thought. What was it about this woman that bothered him?
     
    There was no disputing that she was stunning but there was something else. She intrigued him another first when it came to his interactions with women. When he returned to the station there were a lot of “loaded” looks from people that watched the interaction between him and Mya.
     
    He didn't care what anyone thought and it was obvious. His lack of interest was obvious by his body language. He calmly walked back to his office avoiding direct eye contact with anyone and closed the door.
     
    He never subscribed to workplace gossip and he certainly had no intention of starting. As soon as he got to his desk Chris knocked and he waved him in.
     
    “I pushed our meeting with the captain back a few hours. I saw you leave with Ms. Anderson word is she looked pretty pissed. How screwed are we… by “we” of course I mean you?”
     
    I’m not screwed at all unfortunately that will take time with her, but the anticipation will make it all worth the wait.
     
    Merricks tone was gruff, “I thought she was supposed to be the ball buster? If she was upset I couldn't tell, she swung by on her way to see the M.E. so we went down together.”
     
    With a disappointed look Chris replied, “Damn I missed that. I don't recall her ever coming down here…wait maybe once or twice. Do you need a minute or are you ready to head down?”
     
    No, I’m good let’s go.”
     
    Ironically, Merrick’s day pretty much mirrored Mya’s. It was a host of impromptu meetings, phone calls and briefings but he got through all of it without skipping a beat. He knew there was light at the end of the tunnel; his last meeting of the day was with the unforgettable Ms. Anderson.
     
    Merrick arrived at the D.A.’s office a few minutes early but decided to wait until the last second to head up. He wanted to be punctual not appear anxious even if thoughts of her plagued his mind all day. Stop behaving like a horny teenage boy. You don't even
