Martha was in her office phoning their suspects, John sat on the outside on his dawati watching her. He kept going through the scenario in his head and all the things that could go wrong
"Bloom, are wewe alright?"
"I'm fine Tessa"
"It's just that you've been staring at her for ages"
"I'm just trying to..."
"What? Lip read?"
"Kinda yeah"
"Okay stab in the dark here...How long?"
"How long what?"
"Have wewe liked her?"
"What? Tessa if wewe keep saying stuff like that you'll end up in a mental home"
"Your not denying it then?"
"....For a few months now. How did wewe know?"
"I see the way wewe look at her when wewe think none of us are watching, wewe should tell her"
"She wouldn't want too"
"Why? Because of all that Brendan stuff?"
"She can do better than me i know she can, She's got enough on her plate right now and she might end up pregnant with our suspects baby so i think asking her out now would be a bit much"
"Maybe after all this is over, Can wewe wait nine months?"
"I'll try to restrain myself"
Martha came out the office and John jumped off his dawati and went to hear what she had to say
"Okay team, i phoned them up"
"And?"
"They want to meet me, i've might have aliyopewa us the big break we were looking for"
"Well done when are wewe meeting them?"
"Sometime this afternoon"
"So what do wewe want us to do?"
"Okay so Tessa i want wewe to track any devise they have on them to see if we can get a location on them, Jose i want wewe kuvuka, msalaba reference this number with the phone numbers we have in the database, Anthony i need wewe to be out on the streets talking to people and trying to find out where this address this and Bloom i want wewe to follow me and keep close kwa during the interview in case anything happens. Are we all clear on what to do?"
"Yes"
"Now just because i have the interview doesn't mean they'll chose me so we must be prepared in case that happens"
"Okay"
"Right let's get to work"
Martha was sitting with the suspects and Bloom was outside watching, He couldn't help but worry about her, he didn't want the stress of this operation to get to her. She might start cutting herself again, he didn't want that. He also kept thinking that if she was ever to have a baby..it would be his. He saw her coming out and he opened the other car door to let her in
"How did it go?"
"It went good, really good"
"So?"
"They picked me"
"What?"
"Yeah they picked me so i have to go to the hospital tomorrow"
"Tomorrow? That's soon"
"I know but they want into the country as soon as possible"
"I suppose"
"Let's go back and tell the others"
When they arrived back everyone was eager to hear the news
"Martha how did it go"
"It went well Jose, they picked me"
"Really?"
"Yes i managed to find out a bit zaidi about them"
"Really? Do tell"
" Well their names are Micheal and Maria, they alisema that they moved here a few years ago. They can't have children themselves so that's why they need a surrogate, They never alisema where they lived even though i asked if they lived in the city they just ignored it and moved on. So i am scheduled for an appointment at the hospital tomorrow as they are wanting to have the baby as soon as possible"
"Okay well Anthony will be happy to hear this the Governor has been at him for the past mwezi about this case and now he has something to onyesha for it"
"Great, we need to think of this as the beginning for this unit, we were allowed to be kept on and now we can prove why. Let's get back to work guys"
John was sitting in the living room while Martha was in the jikoni pouring them a glass of wine. John hadn't alisema a word the entire trip home. Martha was worried but she knew why he was in the dumps, she just didn't know how to ask him
"Everything all right John?"
"Yeah...everything's fine"
"it's just wewe seem a bit off and we didn't talk the entire way home...If something's wrong..."
"Come on Martha wewe know what's wrong"
"The...baby thing"
"Yes. Why are wewe doing this?"
"Because it's my job"
"No this...this is not your job. Your job is to lead a team and sort out the new Jekyll and Hyde's we've got going round not to carry a suspect's baby"
"If i don't do this we lose them and the case and then the team will get rendered useless and then all of us will have nothing"
"So i'm nothing now?"
"That is not what i meant and wewe know it"
"Well i may as well be since wewe never seem to listen to me"
"I want to do this job for the team"
"What about me?"
"What? What has it got do with you?"
"It has everything to do with me"
"What is it about this case that is making wewe like this John. What's really going on inside that head of yours?"
"Its.....Its the fact that you're going be carrying a baby...and it's not mine"
Martha just stared at him in shock, she had no idea that he felt like this he never tells her anything like this
"John...i didn't know wewe felt like this"
"Well maybe if wewe listen to me once and while"
"Well maybe if wewe opened up to me more"
"I know. It's just hard for me. After being 15 years undercover wewe kinda forget to talk about how you're feeling"
"I know..Listen to me. I am doing this case for the team so that every single one of us has a job to go back to. I know it's risky and anything can happen but i am willing to take that risk...if wewe will be there to help me?"
"I will be"
"Thank you"
Martha lent over and gave him a gentle kiss on the lips before letting go gently. She then wrapped her arms around him. John held her so close to him even though he alisema he would help her: He still didn't think it was a good idea
"Bloom, are wewe alright?"
"I'm fine Tessa"
"It's just that you've been staring at her for ages"
