After the 'meeting' i had with Kaylee and Jed, Kaylee gave us some papers and some police reports that had been done so we can gather some information. As me and Jed were walking out Kaylees office he asked "Why do you hate working on murders sweetheart?" I shrugged and then i looked at him, "I just don't understand how someone could do that to another person therefore i just try to avoid it while i work, and when i'm working i have to go to the morgue and examine and do a whole lot and tbh I'm not interested."

We finally reached my desk and Jed pulled a random chair and sat next to me. We started by looking over the police reports and as i was reading i saw that in one of the reports the same guy that i had been working with at the grocery store had been murder moments after i left. "omg" i mumble quietly with my hand on my mouth. "what? did you find something sweetheart?" Jed asked looking confused. I looked at him and took my glasses off "Why do you called me sweetheart?" He smirked at my question and let out a small chuckle. "Stop laughing I'm being serious." I said in a rude tone. "Don't flatter your self sweetheart i call a lot of people that." He said in a playful tone. "Now are you gonna tell me what you found or what sweetheart~." he made sure to exaggerate the word sweetheart and that just made me even more annoyed by the word.

I roll my eyes putting my glasses back on clicking my tongue. "You're really annoying, but i didn't find anything." "Ouch I'm so hurt." he replied to my insult in a condescending tone. "If you didn't find anything why did you say 'omg'." i scoff "That's what you think i sound like!" His impression on how i sounded was awful, he made his voice super high pitched and did jazz hands while he said omg trying to irritate and piss me off. "Yea i think i did a great impression." He said in a confident tone. "We'll your wrong and your ego is way too big for your height." which he looked to be around 6'2 so he wasn't short but every time i mention a guys height they get offended. He looked shocked my what i said and quickly changed his experience leaned forward and whispered in my ear. "That 'smart' comment you made was pathetic and you know i'm tall and you know that's not the only thing that's tall about me." He then winked. "Now you gonna tell me what shocked you sweetheart?"

He went back to talking as if what he just said didn't happen. My cheeks were bright red because of how flustered i was. "Uu-m  i-i wa-s shocked because i k-new one of the people that were murder." I cleared my throat. "I was actually there with them the night that got murdered i just happened to leave before they got killed." I said that more confidently. What Jed had said really through me off. "Were you close to them?" he continued to act like what happened before didn't happen with a big smug look on his face. "No, not really."  "Why are you acting flustered sweetheart?" He moved a strand of my hair behind my ear that caused my to get even more flustered, ugh he annoyed me so much he knew why but still was choosing to act innocent. "Is that a serious question.." "yeaaaaa."

"Because of what you said, about your height." As i said the word height my eyes trailed to his pants. "OHHHH that, i was talking about my ego." he clicked his tongue chuckling and leaned forward. "You're dirty minded sweetheart." he said with a big ass smirk on his face. "Ugh whatever don't you know of something called personal space.. asshole." I pushed him lightly to give us some space and mumble the word asshole hoping he would hear. "ooo~ did i make someone mad~?" he said in a joking baby tone that made me more irritated and we have barley done any work. "ugh grow up" "says the one that made the dirty joke." he winked after he said that and flashes a 'charming smile'. My face was bright red from anger and embarrassment. "God can we just get to work" i asked irritated. "what's the magic word sweetheart~." you've got to be fucking kidding me really?!?! i thought, it took everything in me to put my ego aside and say "please." "ok fine just for you darling." thats a new one i thought but too irritated to say anything i just kept quite as we worked on the article.

    *skip after work* 
It was now 5:36 and me and Jed made 2 articles ran them both through Kaylee and published them. Kaylee wanted at least 3 small pieces and 2 BIG pieces. So me and Jed only had had 3 more articles to go. Once we were finished i started grabbing my things before i got to say good bye to Jed he asked me if i wanted to grab something to eat. Honestly hanging out with Jed is both annoying and entertaining, plus i really didn't want to cook anything so i agreed.  "So how long have you lived in Roseville darling?" he asked as we stepped into the elevator. "Ever since i was 19, i also lived here when i was around 14/15 then moved to nyc." The elevator made a ding sound letting us know we were on the first floor and stepped. "Wow nyc huh, if you don't mind me asking why'd you move?" We made it out of the building walking to my car. "Well for two reason actually, one someone i knew died and two i've been in and out of foster care for a long time, and the system thought it was time to transfer me to another state because of overcrowding." I reached into my wallet and pulled out my keys unlocking the car. "Oh you were in foster care?" Jed asked not prying on the dead friends topic  but he did look confused as if he would have never imagined me to be in foster care.

"Yea why, is that so hard to believe." I walked in the driver seat as Jed went to the passenger side. "Yea kinda i never pictured you one to be in foster care, your full of surprises aren't you sweetheart." "Not really." i laughed at him thinking i was full of surprises. "We'll you obviously know the town, you pick a place to eat." "oooo i have just the place."

     *Time Skip* (sorry)
As me and Jed are leaving the restaurant i realized i had a really nice time with him. I then drive him to his place and drop him off saying good bye but before that we exchanged phone number and he named me 'favorite person' as my contact name and i named him 'Annoying #1' and he made a joke "at least I'm #1"

I pull into my apartment complex and walk up the stairs heading to my apartment immediately running to the bathroom taking a shower and getting into sweats and a hoodie. I decided to go into the living room and put something on the tv. Then all of a sudden i get a text from 'Annoying #1"

    Annoying #1
Sleep well sweetheart, don't let the spiders crawl into your mouth at night.
   Favorite Person 💗
I hope you sleep on needles😘

Then i go to the group chat with me Jason and Evie and text them a good night and they do the same. While watching the random show i had on i fall asleep oblivious to the camera that's taking pictures of me.
