Posted by Civilian Jewel Stone (Police Detective) in Another Night, Another Swim
Standing near the edge of the rooftop pool of the Miscall apartment complex, Jewel stretched her shoulders and back. She was wearing a pair of bikini bottoms and a mid-drift swim tank. It was late , it was always late when she got home, and was the reason she was still single. Her stress level was still very high from the days events, something she was trying to forget.

The pool was technically closing in 20 minutes but she had gotten permission to use the pool after hours given her schedule as long as she was quiet and no one complained. She was in great shape, her lean toned muscle from all the exercises, she was arguably in better shape than someone half her age. She had to be, her job could be physically demanding and dangerous. Nights she spent swimming and doing yoga, early morning she would kick box and lift in the apartment gym.

Laying out her matt and towel she laid across her legs preparing to enter her yoga routine. The stretch ached as her muscles relaxed more it felt great.

Karina had had a long day. Her work wasn’t physically demanding, but she felt like it was. She was carrying the day’s stress in her neck and between her shoulder blades. She had a headache from sitting hunched over a computer staring at the screen most of the day.

Getting home, she tried to sit back and relax, but she was too tense, too overdone from the day. The pool was still open. She wasn’t a great swimmer, but the water relaxed her and gave her something physical to do. She slipped into her copper colored one piece with the open midriff. She took the lift to the roof and stepped onto the cool tiled space.

Her eyes scanned the space. She saw a woman she wasn’t overly familiar with, doing yoga by the pool. She was in exceptionally good shape. Karina was fit, but she was by no means as tone. She smiled and nodded politely before putting her towel down and slipping into the water. It was still warm and she groaned softly as she let her body become weightless.
