Heal Me
Nothing
(This is a relatively boring chapter, I thought, but I'll throw in some hot sex - don't rid me of my delusions, 'lright? - in the next one and ake the one after interesting. This is basicly an interlude, a little details chapter, it's neccessary)

Zerbrowski nudged Dolph, hey Anita’s here and she looks seriously in a hurry. They watched as the car bumped up onto the curb. Anita and a woman, presumably Mary Jane Harrison, got out of the car. Anita looked like she was about to kiss the ground and Harrison looked like she was high, which changed when she saw them.
“Mary Jane, Sergeant Zerbrowski, Lieutenant Dolph, guys, Mary Jane, okay, okay lets go inside.”
Anita and Dolph leaned against the window, having finished searching the apartment looking for ANYTHING.
“Nothing. How can this guy leave nothing?”
Dolph sighed, “So, did you get a note this morning?”
“No. Maybe I’ve been dumped”
“Don’t wish for it, this guy might have a selective way of ‘dumping’ people”
“How do you think Zerbrowski’s doing?” Dolph asked, glancing over at Zerbrowski and Mary Jane sitting on the couch.
“This is a pretty nice place you have here” Zerbrowski commented.
“I think so” Mary Jane cuddled Herby.
“So, you want to tell me how you afford it?”
“I work, Sergeant” she gave him wide eyes.
“As a waitress”
“Very hard”
“For ten hours a week”
“Good tips”
Zerbrowski laughed and shook his head. “Alright, so have you had any angry ‘tippers’ recently?”
“Nope, my work is flawless”
“So, you work with Anita?”
“No”
“So how’d you two meet?”
“An acquaintance”
“Anita, save me from having to drag it out of her with my teeth, what does she do? Hooker is a good guess but I never know with your friends”
“Does it matter, Zerbrowski? I met her yesterday, she was at my house. This guy ‘met’ her through me, and I feel really guilty, so just leave her life alone, it won’t help you find this guy”
Anita pulled Anita aside, “We all think it might be best if you stay at Guilty Pleasures, even though this guy probably won’t approach you yet”
“So, we’re going to save him from having to visit two addresses a night?” Before Anita could answer, she shrugged, “I don’t mind AT ALL, staying at a male stripper bar, fine with me”
They all walked back to the cars, Mary Jane lugging a big bag with change etc. Dolph had offered to carry it for her, and she’d given him a “what century do you think we’re in” look.
“Oh Mary Jane,” Anita turned with her hand held out, “keys”
“Oh, Anita you shouldn’t be driving yet”, Zerbrowski and Dolph chorused.
“I’m FINE”
“You have to think of your – and Mary Jane’s and the other people on the roads safety as well”
“Trust me, I AM” She turned back to Mary Jane, “Now give me the keys”
Mary Jane pouted and handed them over. Sulking a bit, she ducked into the car.
