"AMBER!!!" Ed yelled, snapping me back into reality. I might have a problem with that Jerome kid.

"Sorry Eddie, just zoned out I guess." We were working on a case. The GCPD found a new "villain" today. Some doctor created a fear toxin that when injected you constantly see your biggest fears. They don't know who yet, but Ed and I have to figure out what exactly is in the toxin.

"Are you okay.? You've been zoning out a lot since yesterday when we got home." He stopped. "Amber?"

I huffed. "What Ed?" I replied kind of annoyed at the fact that he's continuing this conversation.

"Is there something you're not telling me? *gasp* Is there someone you're not telling me about?" He asked a little two excitedly for an older brother.

I stayed silent avoiding his gaze.

"There is isn't there? Awww, little Amber has a crush." He cooed.

"I do not. He's just a friend." I shrugged him off biting my cheeks to hide my smile. I hope one day we can be more then friends.

"So what's his name, how old is he, what's he look like?" Ed rambled.

I chuckled. "What happened to Edward Nygma, my overprotective brother." I asked, he's acting like a girl.

"I'll bring him back later but right now I want to know who's caught my sisters heart." He smiled widely.

I thought for a minute. Ugh I doubt he likes me back. Telling Ed shouldn't hurt.

"Okay okay you win." I said putting my hands up in surrender.

"His name is Jerome, he's 18, which Ik is technically illegal but...it's only a few months difference. He has these beautiful deep green eyes that sparkle when he gets excited, a jawline for days, cute little freckles you can barely see, and the most brightest of red hair, but Ed...he totally makes it work." I gushed on about the attractive ginger, right when Jim Gordon walked in.

"Ed we might have a lead on who the toxin's owner is. Any ideas yet on how it's made or what with." He asked switching between Ed and I looking hopeful for a yes.

"Um...no not yet but, Ed's working on it." I replied confidently. Jim just sighed.

"Alright well, when you get an idea please come to me with it." He asked. Before either of us could reply he left the room.

"We should probably get back to working on this." I told Ed. 

"No, you should go see this Jerome guy. Maybe he went back. You never know until you look." He said.  

What? He wants me to go back to the circus, by myself, to see a guy he doesn't even know, that he doesn't know lives there. Ok...where is my brother.

I pressed my hand to his forehead. "Eddie...are you okay." I asked sincerely concerned. 

"Ugh yes Amber I'm fine. I want you to find him." He paused. "And be back by 2." He finished with a huge grin. I looked at the clock. It was almost noon.

"That's only two hours. To get to the next town over. Spend time with him, then run back! Ed are you crazy!?" I replied. Yeah that's never going to happen. I don't run. Not for anyone, sorry ginger.

He thought about it. Great wasting more time. "Fine be back by 3. But that's the latest I'm going." He replied sternly while I immediately hugged him real quick; Then off I went.

I'm coming Ginger. I'm coming.
