December event

You'd been walking with Derek. The air was crisp and cold. You had a warm, thick winter coat, a red hat and a scarf with matching gloves on, making the cold merely a kiss on the cheek.

As you walked you enjoyed the peacefulness. Derek stopped. You frowned. You'd taken a step more than him, forcing you to turn back to see what was wrong. "What is it?" You asked. Derek was frowning down a side street. He let go of your hand and stepped away. "Derek?" you called. He hurried away and vanished out of sight. When you went to look down the street he was gone.

Looking around you realised that not only were you alone in a not particularly nice part of town and it had started to snow. You waited five minutes, pacing up and down until you spotted a bench. Taking a seat you waited another fifteen minutes before heading home. The snow was thicker now. It crunched under your feet with each step. When you reached the apartment door you heard footsteps hurrying over the snow towards you.

"There you are!" You snapped as you turned to see Derek.

"Where'd you go?" He said.

"Where did I go? Where did you go?" Derek grumbled as he hurried to the door and pulled the keys out his pocket and shoved it in the lock. "I have the keys."

"You left and I thought you weren't coming back." You admitted. He nodded awkwardly as he let you in and locked the door behind him. The two of you trudged up the stairs quietly before Derek explained.

"I thought I saw something and went to have a look. Something was definitely there but I lost it." He explained. You hummed thoughtfully.

"Do you think it was dangerous? Maybe it was just curious about you?" You offered. Derek was thoughtfully quiet for a minute as you entered the apartment and kicked off your shoes.

"Maybe. Do you think I should call Scott and warn him?" He asked. Following him, you made your way to the kitchen. He put the kettle on to boil and fetched a couple of mugs out of the cupboard on the wall.

"I'd wait until the morning if you can. They're having a holiday party and you know what they went through last week. Look, we can just skip our plans for tonight and see if we can find whatever it was. Give them a break?" You said uncertainty. Derek agreed and went to make calls to cancel the plans. After warming up a little and relaxing Derek came out of the kitchen and proudly held up a carrier of food and a flask of hot chocolate.

"Alright. Let's go deal with this. At least we'll be able to bring dinner with us." He muttered and smiled at you.
