Dalton jolted up from his bed, the cuffs around his wrist and legs clanking as he sat up. Dalton was out of it before finally regaining full conscienceness, letting out a sigh. Noticing his tiredness, he thought," It isn't getting any better"

Dalton took his restraints off one by one before looking at the digital clock on his night stand and realized that he was late but still moved at his normal speed when getting ready. When he exited the bathroom, his blind husky, Lilia, was waiting for him. Dalton kneelled down, greeting Lilia with a elevated pitch voice and pets before going back to his room to change. When he was finished, he called Everett, Lilia's dogsitter and after a few minutes, Everett was here to look after Lilia. Even thought she looked after Lilia for 1 months, Dalton still tried to lecture about the precautions to be used for Lilia when Everett stated,"Aren't you late for work?"  trying to stop him from continuing which kinda worked. Dalton told Everett that he'll lecture her later before leaving out the door, telling Everett to lock it behind him.

After thirty minutes, Dalton had reached to work almost an hour late which his boss Mr. Dailey, his mother's friend, overlooked knowing that Dalton don't usually come to work late and knowing his situation but Dalton still tried to explain himself saying, " Morning Mr. Dailey, I apologize..." before stopping realising that he was interrupting something when he saw a woman maybe around his age standing close to Mr. Dailey.

" Morning Donovan (Dalton's last name), this is Delainy and she is your new partner starting today"

"Nice to meet you, Detective Donovan" she said with a very high pitch voice and gentle smile.

" Everyone calls Dalton, pleasure" Dalton said, extending his hand towards Delainy, who shook it firmly saying, " Same here"

" That's a good handshake you have there. I can tell I'm in good hands" Dalton announced playfully.

Delainy chuckled softly, letting go of his hand and saying," Good observation"

" Delainy, you're badge is on your desk, which is next to Dalton's. He'll show you around the place." Mr. Dailey reassured Delainy.

" Oh and Delainy, stick with Dalton; he might be annoying at times but he gets the job done with almost perfect accuracy." Mr. Dailey announced.

" What do you mean? I'm never annoying" Dalton exclaimed.

Mr. Dailey seemed to ignore Dalton waiting for Delainy's reply which Delainy responded with," Yes sir."

Mr. Dailey looked at Dalton before telling Delainy," Can I have a moment alone with him please?"

" Sure" Delainy replied.

Mr. Dailey walked to an area with less people around, making sure Dalton was behind him

before asking," Are you sure you are ready to come back to work?"

" Yes Mr. Dailey" Dalton responded.

" You better be telling me the truth, Dalton" Mr. Dailey urged.

" I can't seem lie to you" Dalton reassured.

" It's good to see you back" Mr. Dailey stated leaving Dalton and entering his office. Delainy watched him as this happens from afar

Then Dalton's focus turned to Delainy as he approached her saying," Ok Delainy, if you love solving crimes as much as I do, you'll love it here. Over there, the table with the flowers on it is Corey's table, amazing guy. He is known as The Lead Detective here because of his quick thinking. And even though, he seems like a tough guy he's a real big softy" ,passing by Corey's empty table and desk.

" That's strange. Normally he'll be here before me. Anyway, this table here is Viviane's. Her table is this neat because she have OCD in regards to symmetry and order, which despite her continuous comments of why she hate having OCD, I always admired her for it. That and her ability to think without her thoughts straying which is probably not related in any way." Dalton explained looking at her table which is as neat as ever before walking and plopping down on the chair by his presumed table. Unlike Viviane's perfectly neat table, Dalton's table was quite untidy; more untidy than most. There was no food or drinks by his table though, it was mostly paperwork, a few figurines dog related figurines and framed pictures propped at the corners; two with dogs and one with a woman smiling brightly.

" Although, there are a lot of other amazing people in this station, I would like to skip to our desks. This one I'm at is mine and yours is right there" Dalton said pointing at the table close to his, with a badge resting in the middle.

" I have a random question I want to ask you" Delainy announced.

" Shoot"

"I'm sorry if it may seem rude but do you have Adhd?" Delainy inquired.

" Based on your answer to this question it might. Why do you ask?" Dalton revealed.

" Well because you desk is very untidy and due to the amount of dog related items I believe you have a fixation with dogs" Delainy explained.

" Yes I do but I could have also just been a very messy person who loves dogs. If you had found more hints to narrow it down you would've been more comfortable to ask that question." Dalton suggested

" I'm sorry" Delainy apologized.

" No, no, I didn't say it was rude. Honestly I don't mind. This was just a little test. Take this as your first lesson. Gather as much information you can before coming to a conclusion. But you still did good" Dalton explained.

" I will. Thank you" Delainy responded.

Just then, Delainy noticed a few people sneaking up behind Dalton and hinting Delainy pretend they're not there which she did but Dalton had noticed when she looked behind him and spun his chair slightly to see Corey and Viviane and a few others from the station.

" Morning and how are you back so soon Dalton? Did Mr. Dailey tell you to come back to work?" Viviane asked Dalton concerned for his health.

" No Viviane, it's quite the opposite actually" Dalton revealed but before he can explain further, a police officer radioed that a detective was needed at Mehar, Sodton drive, house 6 for a homicide committed

" Delainy and I will go and deal with that case" Dalton stated.

" Oh, ok but this conversation with continue later" Viviane said loud enough for Dalton, who was leaving with Delainy to hear.

Dalton and Delainy left the station and drove to the crime scene taking about 5 minutes. As they approached the scene of the crime, Dalton noticed that the house and the area around it was wrapped in police tape with the help of the trees around the edges of the yard and thought to himself," That's strange"

Dalton exited the car with Delainy following right behind him and he lift up the police tape, allowing Delainy to go in first before entering himself.

The yard had grass that was unevenly cut and the lawnmower right in the middle of the straight linewhere the high grass and low cut grass meet. Which he also thought was weird. He made mental notes of it before entering the house and seeing the victim. The victim laid on his back his shirt bloodied and his blood that was spilt on the ground seemed to be in the shape of wings. One wing was removed and was near the victim's body and the other, instead of being close to the victim's back, it was down by the hip and the starting of the wing being away from the victim's body.

"A fallen angel" Dalton said without thinking.

" That was exactly my thought too. The victim name is Levi Lewis according to the database and he was stabbed 6 times in his upper body. There also seems to be possible signs of struggle under the nails of his right hand and a few scratches on the victim's face and upper arms. Oh and the murder weapon was found in the kitchen in the knife holder wiped of any fingerprints using rubbing alcohol" The crime scene investigator that Dalton knows all too well explains.

Dalton takes out two gloves he had placed in his pocket this morning and began putting it on carefully as he examine the scene, saying," Good morning to you too, Helena"

" Oops, I did forget to say that didn't I? Apologies, morning everyone" Helen said not taking her eyes off the body.

Dalton smiled, looking at Helena for a few seconds saying," That's alright. Helena, this is my new partner, Delainy. Delainy, this is one of my best friends and the best CSI I know"

Delainy and Vivian greeted eachother with short hellos before getting back to work. Dalton focused fell on Delainy, who was already stooping down right next to him with a pair of gloves on. " Hm" He mused softly pushing the pair of gloves he brought for her back in his pocket.

Delainy seemed focused on something before Dalton disturbed her asking," What do you  think, Delainy?"

" I just have a hypothesis. Can I ask you a question, Helena?" Delainy asked

" Sure, anything" Helena announced.

" Was there any fingerprints prints or signs of wiped fingerprints on the lawnmower?" Delainy questioned.
