Obsessions ➢ Eye Candy

eye candy and sweetheart

Human life. So delicate, so fragile, easy to extinguish. The killer looks for the freshest, the juiciest, the most tender. USDA Prime, grade A, low-fat, ultra lean, the one.

It used to be that he had to go outside to find them, not anymore. Now he uses the Internet, God's gift to psychopaths.

Are any of them real? He needs someone real, someone who understands. Why do they lie? No one knows. They hide their flaws. And he makes them pay. One by one.

'Julia Becker.'

The clicks of the keyboard were heard throughout the NYPD as Laura Miller typed, looking for information on the missing young woman.

Nothing showed up, and Ben Miller, Laura's older brother, let out a heavy sigh and muttered something under his breath.

They sat in a private room, investigating the recent murders of New York and how they were linked to one another.

Detective Tommy Calligan then entered the room, bringing in Lindy Sampson with him.

Laura let out a small laugh and looked at her brother, who seemed completely uncomfortable.

Ben and Lindy dated about a year ago, until Ben put her under house arrest for being a hacker.

Laura didn't mind Lindy at all, they just haven't talked since the break up.

Tommy then chimed in, awakening Laura from her thoughts. "This is Lindy Sampson, she'll be helping you two. Have fun, I guess." Then he quickly left the room.

"Now that I'm off of house arrest," Lindy began, looking at Ben with a scowl, "I have a plan to catch the killer. This whole thing started with the new app, "Flirtual". So Laura, I was wondering if you'd come to IRL with me tonight and go on some dates?"

"Y-yes of course. I don't have Flirtual though." Laura stuttered, afraid of who she might be hooked up with tonight.

"Here," Lindy said, holding out her hand as Laura put the phone into her palm. "Sophia, my best friend, put me on here a few hours ago, but I haven't opened up the app yet. I'll make you an account. Here." Lindy said, handing back her phone.

"You called me Sweetheart?" Laura asked, stifling a laugh.

"Yes, Sweetheart. From the song Obsessions? By Marina and The Diamonds? You've never heard of it?" Lindy asked, surprised. Everyone should know who Marina is. That was Sarah's favorite singer, before she went missing. "If you think that's bad, Sophia called me Eye Candy."

Laura curled the last piece of her hair right as Lindy's car horn beeped. She quickly jumped into the car and they drove the few blocks down to IRL.

As they parked, Ben parked behind them, grabbing his gun, so if anything went wrong, he could protect his sister and his ex-girlfriend.

They entered the club, and all the electronic music sounded.

Laura and Lindy's phones rang, signaling people on Flirtual wanted to meet them. They accepted some, and rejected some, then waited for their 'dates' to come to them.

First chapter! Very short, and only half of the first episode with some of my own plot line.

I'm excited!

Vote, comment, recommend.

Also, I changed the actress to Lily Collins, and her name is now Laura, not Emily.

Thank you!
