"Bro, want some chips?" It was 4:00 o' clock and I was tired. It had been a long day of paper work and files.
"No thanks." I say to my friend Wanda who was currently stuffing a bag of chips in her face. My best friend Wanda is a forensic scientist, and is very skilled at her work. She had her dark brown hair up in a Marvel headband, and was wearing Docter Who tardis earrings. She looked at me now with a snide expression on her face.
"Suit yourself." She says eating another handful of chips. I look out the window next to my desk. It is May and summer is on its way. We're on the sixth floor so I get a birdseye view of the green trees and grass below. Our facility is stationed in a forest, so no people can see it.
"Oh my gosh! It's so cute!" Comes Niecy's voice from across the room.
"I know!" Says Kara back.
"What are you guys talking about?" I ask getting up and walking over to them. However I already know. Some love story. As usual, I'm right.
"Sara doesn't know who to choose between Sam or Matt! But Adam likes Sara and Sara loves him except she doesn't know it, and Matt's just a jerk and oh... I like Sam, but he likes Tasha! But Tasha is married to Zack. Maria likes Sam but she doesn't know how to tell him! And Stacie and Sam just broke up! Oh my gosh it's so sad! I'm like, crying!" Kara says.
"Well I uh..."
"I'm not done...... Anyways, Lorie likes Sam but Jessica also likes Sam... Drama... And Mike, oh Mike! He's so cute! And he's married to Raina, but Raina likes Jacob and Jacob likes Raina but Mike hates Jacob and Marcie hates Jacob but Jacob likes Marcie and Mike hates Stacie and Stacie likes Tom but Tom likes Sara! That's what makes the story so sad!" Kara finishes, or at least that's as far as I was going to let her go.
"Uh... That's nice?" I say not knowing what to say.
"IT. IS. HORRIBLE!!!" She says. Niecy is shaking her head in what looks like denial.
This is why I stick to science fiction. Love stories aren't my thing. I mean, whats with all the kissing? I don't know, but they seem to love it.
"I'm just going to go back to my Star Trek fanfiction here..." I say slowly backing away jokingly.
"You do that." Kara says.
"Star Wars is better..." Niecy chimes in.
"You wish...." I say, and turn back and walk to my desk.
"Hey. Annie come look at this." Wanda says beckoning me over to her desk.
"What?" I ask walking over.
"Ever heard of Thomas Calicon?" She asks me pointing to a pile of papers on her desk.
"Sort of. Mr. Luedamen mentioned his name a few times. Why?"
"He dissapeared last night. The files don't say anything else. It's scientifically impossible to explain." Excitement runs through me at the words, "scientifically impossible." I was the astrophysicist and engineer of the group, plus after watching years of Star Trek, scientifically impossible cases are always the best. This is my department.
"That's odd." I say, "Does anyone know where he went?" Wanda gives me a knowing look and smiles.
"What?" I say confused at her being happy about this, but yet I am excited as heck.
"Your the one who has the level seven computer access. You tell me."
"The reason why I am trusted with a level seven computer access, is because I don't use it to change file names and hack into other people's accounts, unlike someone I know--" I wanted to know what happened to him, but I didn't want to break the rules.
