Detective Michelson

Adriane Wils

"Uh, yeah sure, come on in", I said.

He walked into my apartment, before I closed the door behind him. He stood awkwardly, looking around my apartment. I've never felt insecure about my apartment until this very moment. I don't know why I'm insecure about this hot stranger's opinion even though it shouldn't matter to me.

"Please, um, sit down. Would you like anything to drink?", I asked nervously.

"No thank you", he muttered before taking a seat on the maroon couch decorated with different designs.

"What did you want to ask me, again?"

"Do you know Adriane Wils?", he asked cautiously holding up a picture of my co-worker, Rose. In the picture she had blond hair and a black eye. Yes I knew her, but I knew her, but under the name Rose Crews.

"Yes that's Rose, a co-worker, of mine."

"Well that's one of the many names she goes by."

"What do you mean by many?", I questioned.

"What I mean is that she is the sister of a wanted criminal and she doesn't want anyone to know that they are related, so she changes her name wherever she goes", he stated.

I slowly let everything sink in. Rose or Adriane or whatever she goes by has fooled me all this time. I thought she was just a sweet shy girl. Even though she has always been reserved, she had never once been rude to another person and has always been a hardworker.

"Do you have an adress for her?"

"No."

"No? You are the owner of the shop and you don't have an adress for her?", his beautiful face showed that he was becoming irritated, fast.

"Uh yes."

"Why would you do that?", he asked looking like he is calming himself.

"She came to me begging for a job, saying that she needed to start fresh."

"If a person came to you and asked you for a job, looking vulnerable, you will automatically give them the job", he inquired.

"Well not really it-"

"By the looks of it, Miss Jakes you will give anyone a job if they came to you crying and begging you for one", he stated.

"Excuse me detective, why does me giving Rose a job have anything to do with this?"

"It doesn't, I'm warning you not to give people a job even when they looked vulnerable because you don't know anything about them."

"Thank you for the advice, do you have anymore questions detective", I sarcastically asked him.

"As a matter of fact I do", he started. "Did Adriane or Rose, as you call her associate with anyone?"

"No, Rose was a hardworking reserved girl, she never talked to anyone."

"When will she be back at work?"

"She comes back Monday. She asked for a few days off."

Right at that moment the door bell rand and I remembered that I ordered Domino's before he came.

I went to top end the door with my debit card in my hand. Lifter swiping my card, he gave me my receipt along with the pizza and left. I closed the door and turned around to face the detective.

"Would you like to stay to eat", I asked. I wasn't trying to ask him out, I was just offering him food, incase he was hungry.

"I-."

All of the sudden there was a beeping sound from the tv.

"Ladies and gentlemen, stay inside tonight, there is going to be a snow storm and we advise everyone to stay in closed doors", the news reporter declared.
