A Murder in Oakland: Beauty is Deadly

Sean

Baby.

Baby go back to sleep.

It's about six o'clock.

You got about an hour and a half left.

I know what time it is and I will be ready for work soon.

What's up with you?

Nothing, I just got this new case.

Look, you got an hour and a half.

Just go to sleep.

But baby.

What?

You haven't eaten breakfast yet?

I know, I'm just going to get something

from 7-Eleven or something.

7-Eleven?

Not happening, no.

You need some spinach, some eggs, some real food.

7-Eleven.

Like a scramble, you going to make me a scramble?

Yeah, or maybe the omelet you like.

Alright.

Your neck still hurt?

Yeah, every time, look.

You already know, every time you get your hair done,

you take all the pillows and I get crack in my neck.

That's 'cause you're supposed to be sleeping closer to me.

You can't be touching my hair.

You love me, right?

Yes.

So why I can't have all the pillows?

You can have all pillows, my neck just hurt.

And baby, that tie,

I mean it does compliment your skin,

but I think you could still look better.

You bought me this.

You bought me this tie.

Na babe, I'm just, I'm just playing.

You look good in everything you put on.

Forget it, no tie.

Hey love.

My name is Tori.

What can I get you on today?

Oh, hey.

Hi.

Yeah, I'll take a fruit salad.

All right, that's a nice choice.

And what can I get you to drink on today?

I think I'll take a tea.

All right, hot or cold?

Hot.

Okay.

Any selection of the green tea or spice?

Yeah, what kinds do you have?

Earl Gray, spice, green tea.

What would you like?

I'll take a Earl Gray.

Okay, that's actually my favorite.

So I will be back with your order as soon as I can.

Okay, love.

Are you waiting on anybody by the way?

No, it's just me.

Okay, so let me get this out of your way

right quick, okay?

I will be right back.

Right here is your order,

your bowl of fruit and your tea.

Thank you.

So, do you mind if I have a seat with you?

No, not at all.

Okay, thank you.

So I couldn't help but notice

that you seemed a little down earlier,

nervous or, so I wanted to ask what was wrong?

'Cause here in our restaurant,

people are usually all smiles and stuff.

So could I ask what's wrong?

I didn't think it was that noticeable.

It actually is.

And for handsome guy like yourself,

I wouldn't think you would be down or anything.

Thank you, you're beautiful yourself.

Thank you, I'm no Beyonce, but I'm trying to keep there.

So what's wrong?

You know what, just feel a little out of place.

This is my first day here in Oakland

first time being far away from family and friends.

Okay, I know that feeling.

I'm from Memphis and I'm a long ways from home

and I've been here actually for a year now.

But you get used to it when you've been here

for a while.

I mean, it's been a year for me,

but I've been used to it so far.

I've made some friends here.

It's been a little bit enjoyable for me.

I love the people I have here

and the familiar faces that's here already.

Yours kind of stood out so I knew you're a bit new.

And one thing I'll tell you, I'm here

so you can always come to this restaurant.

I'll be here, I'm here at nights,

most times you'll catch me here in the mornings.

I'll be here, okay?

So you can always talk to me.

Oh, okay, I've got a table.

So I'll catch you later, okay.

Nice meeting you.

Wills, I got some news for you.

'Cause of your recent performance and your actions.

We're gonna put you with a new partner.

A partner?

You need a partner.

I do good work for you Captain.

You do great work for me.

But we still at this point need you to have a partner.

It's best for our organization

and it's best for the city right now.

Damn politics.

Who is it, Roger?

It's not Rogers.

It's Detective Michael Adams coming to us from Fresno.

He's got a couple accommodations.

Looks like he just came off

of a long undercover, we need to get him off the.

It's no crime in Fresno.

There's lots of crime in Fresno.

He knows what he's doing, he's not a rookie.

And don't forget that.

Look, we got some new evidence on a cold case.

You familiar with Seaside Killer?

Yeah, Kevin Hunter, right?

That's it, I want you guys

to be working this case together.

All right, when can I meet him?

Hey Mary, send in Detective Adams.

He's here now?

He's here now.

Detective Adams, how you doing?

Pretty good Chief.

You guys are gonna be partners here now.

Detective Michael Adams.

Sean Williams.

Nice to meet you.

So I want you to show him the ropes around Oakland.

Use your detective knowledge that you used in Fresno.

Yes sir.

All right, we have the file cap?
