Falling for the Zauberbiest

Chapter 23

" So what did he want?" I asked Nick while turning down the loud static radio.

" He just said he needed to talk to us about something he didn't wanna say over the phone . Weird."

" If anything this is normal compared to the shit that's happened so far ."

" You're right ."

Arriving yet again to the precinct , we walk to Sean's office to see why he called us in .

He was sitting down at his desk leaning over some folders while Nick and I walked in.

" Is this a shut the door kind of conversation." Nick says.

" My brothers here in Portland." Sean says while sitting up from his papers.

" Is he some sort of royal highness." Says Nick .

" He's a prince , and he yields a lot of power in the family ." Nick sat down at the chair while I leaned back on the far wall.

" What's he doing here ?" I asked .

" He says he's here to discuss family matters but I never believe a word he says . Should know that his mother tried to murder mine , and me."

" That would make for an awkward Christmas ." Nick says.

" I would never know I was never included." Sean shrugs .

"'so your brothers the one that wants the key."

" Wait , aunt Marie's key ?" I interject .

" Yes that one . This key is powerful , All the royal family want the key , my brothers just more determined . He knows how much power it would give him if he had it."

Both of their voices drowned out of my head when I started to think about the keys . Why was everyone after it ? Isn't it just a key ? And most of all wasn't Sean after it too?

My train of thought was lost when Nick was passing me the papers Sean was looking at before .

It was a photo of another folder .
" Thomas schirach , it's empty ."

I was looking at the pictures of the folders until a phone rang.

" This is him." Sean picks up his phone.

" Do you want us to leave ?" i say.

"No , I want you to listen ." He then places the phone in front of hi and answers the call.

"Eric." He says sighing before he does.

" Sean , let me first say , Good morning," A British voice spoke on the phone. " I'm having a hearty North-western Breakfast-"

They were chatting for a while until Woo knocked on the door and came in.

" Morning , well not really , We've got a sort of mini crime wave situation. We've had a slew- and by that i mean a crapload of 911 calls , reporting several violent assaults and a lot of property damage down town from the calls , from the calls they sound drug fuelled , similar to what franco and i ran into the rental house."

"Lilly O'hara is still missing " Nick says.

" If it keeps up were gonna run out of uniforms.

" Go , both of yous." Sean says . Nick walks out with Woo while i walk up to Sean and place a kiss on his lips. I gave him a small smile and left.

It put me off about how people were after aunt Maries key and how Sean has a half brother that he talks so serious with. I was weirded out to see this side of Sean and the curiosity wore off as soon as Nick and i got in the car.
