The Dark Times

The Meeting of The Famous Detective

Ashley's POV:

How did it all get to this? The streets broken and filled with unmobilized cars, trash everywhere, houses decayed and broken down. Emilia and I sit down in an alley way burning scraps of paper and practically anything we can find. We have eaten for days, but maybe if we're lucky enough we'll find a rat or a squirrel or something just anything. I bite my fingernails as Emilia rubs her hands and puts them towards the fire."Not too close don't burn yourself like last time"I say pushing her hands back some, my voice raspy with lack of hydration."Sorry it's just getting really cold this time of year...what is it like November or something?..."She replies putting her thinking face to extent.Before i could correct her i hear a crowd of people coming."Hide!" i yell quietly as i blow out the fire and crawl towards the side of a graffitied dumpster. Emilia jumps inside the dumpster as the crowd of peoples' voices grew closer.

sorry this is gonna be kinda short but ill update later....

   I try to controle my breathing and shivering as they pass by, their laughter sinking into my mind. Emilia peeks her head out then climbs out"all clear.."she says as she goes to the fire and tries to start it up again."Just forget it... it's getting late and the wolves could be coming soon we should call it a day.."i say as i struggle to climb inside the dumpster."fine...."she sighs as she makes her way to the dumpster and pulls a torn up thin brown blanket from under it and jumps in with me.she puts the blanket on us both and we lay back to back as close as we can to keep warm.i stare at the wall of the dumpster before closing my eyes and falling asleep.

Detective's POV:

i grab my gun and my satchel and head out into the city. i hold the gun into place as i run down the street paying attentively to where and what i step on. My purple fedora stands stiffly on my head, my purple plaid collared long sleeved jacket properly tucked in my black ripped jeans. Earlier i got a call from a client saying that many people in her hotel are experiencing activity but nothing gets stolen. Seems suspicious so i decide to check it out. I stop at a street sign and take a few breaths before going right. I pass by dogs fighting over scraps of trash...so sad. I continue walking 'till i come across the hotel. I walk in quietly making sure not to get attacked/attract someone. I stop to pull out my gear when i hear a footstep, immediately turning around i point my gun at whoever is behind, only to see a woman maybe in her 30's putting her hands up. "Are you detective Elizabeth?" she asks with wide eyes."it depends Are you the client that called earlier?" i ask keeping my gun towards her face. She nods slowely. i put my gun down and into my satchel "now explain to me the situation." 

"well many clients have complained of moved items  but nothing was stolen and nothing shows up on the cameras or sometimes they were entirely blank. Some say it was ghost some say it was a rebel but no one saw anything."The lady explains staring intently at me. "Interesting...well ill have a look around but you need to evacuate the building so i can go through each ro-  ma'am is there a reason you're staring at me?" I ask, my eyebrow raised. "Well you look kind of young to be a famous detective. Are you sure you're the right person?" I stare at her with a face like 'you're kidding right'."ok ma'am Have you ever trapped more than 2 ghost at the same time?"i ask. "no bu-" "that's what i thought ma'am leave the questions to me if you may." with that i walked away "evacuate the building"i said not turning around. She's completely speechless but goes on the intercom and instructs everyone to leave the building.  As people walk past me they give me looks and murmur to each other, but i pay no mind to them and keep walking.The building goes completely silent.
