The Dead Men

Chapter 1: Handsome?... Big bro?!

I don't know why but I've always like driving, there's just something about being behind the wheel that just shuts the entire world out and the only things that exist is myself, the car and the road. I'm usually at my calmest when I drive, so I guess it's safe to also say that my partner doesn't experience the same feelings I do...
"So are you gonna put your head inside the car or am I gonna have to close the window while its out?"
"Woah someone is a bit moody... Nervous to go to work or something?"
"No it's not like that, I just don't get why you always have to act silky while we are driving."
"Oh pish posh keep your eyes on the road cause we're almost there."
The building I work at is an old renovated apartment, it has been changed to better suit out needs. It's kinda weird arriving so casually, I remember first coming down cause I was being arrested by one of the detectives cause it was assumed I was a serial killer due to my innate abilities. That was two years ago today, like I know everyone always says the world is a magical place but shit magic is intense just like all the supernatural phenomenon.
"Hey we parked.. Are you gonna come in or what?"
"Oh whoops sorry yeah I'm coming, I was somewhere else for a moment there haha."
"Come on we gotta see the others for our debrief."
As we walked in there was someone standing in the centre of the room, he was tall.. Very tall. If I'm right his roughly above 6ft, his hair are is a dark brown almost like wood when its been sitting on a fire for a few seconds. Clear face with with emerald green eyes, he looks young but his eyes tell a whole different story all together.
Stephanie looks at me with a wide grin, she leans in and whispers "woah hottie alert!!.... He is packed like a brick house."
"You seriously have no off switch do you?"
"I don't care I need your backup, you are my proof. If anybody asks say that I call dibs on him you hear?"
"..... No."
"Why not?"
"I don't wanna be involved in a situation like that, you want the boy then you ask like the other two that have lined up behind him."
"What the Fuck?!.. No!!"
This girl makes me wonder why I partnered with her sometimes.
"You there.. Blonde boy and the emo chic come over here."
"Oh he sees my feminine charm, tough luck bitches"
We start to walk near him and Stephanie hides her hands behind her back so she can give Malia the middle finger,
"That was uncalled for Steph."
"Don't hate the player hate the game."
Oh god.. It's like the closer I walk near him the taller he gets!
"Hmm I guess you must be Stephanie?"
She's blushing.. "Um yes, nice to meet you sir"
"Do you mind waiting with the others while I talk with this gentleman before us?"
Stephs eyes widened slightly, she turns around and gives me a wink?
"What was that for?"
She doesn't respond but walks away.
"You must be Matthew, but thats your given name. What's your taken name?"
"Um yes well my taken name is Snow, everyone thought it was funny funny because I'm pale and prefer winter time"
"I don't need a story, now I'm William but you can to call me handsome."
Oh god that's why she winked..
"No"
"Fine then big brother?"
"I can tolerate bro if it ends this conversation?"
"Deal. Now scuttle along a meeting will be held soon."
Oh man this isn't good, everyone is never going to let this down.
"Hey what's up?"
That voice sounds familiar, oh it's Malia. Short girl at least 5ft or above, long brown hair, her torso is shorter than her legs which is pretty cute, eyes as brown as chocolate and full res lips you can get lost looking at.. She's a natural girl who rarely wears makeup but she's too pretty to need it anyways.
"Hey are you deaf today or what haha"
"Oh crap I'm sorry!  Um hey Mal whats up?"
"Nothing new just checking on my favourite detective, are you okay?"
"Yeah I'm great, ready for action as always."
"Well don't be too ready cause something might happen haha"
And on that note she walks away to her office, Malia doesn't do detective work, in fact she's a friend of mine from way back. She works in the health department of the building, she specialises in psychology so she makes sure we're all %100 before we go out.
Nobody else seems to be in today, works out well it gives me some time to kill.
