The White Tainted Red

Chapter 1.

‘ Who says you have to be able to see, to be alive? I think as long as you can help, as long as you feel guilt, as long as you have any feelings at all. You are worthy to live, you are useful. Just believe it.’

The wind was blowing wildly through a grass field. The field itself colored with many flowers: blue ones, yellow ones, purple ones, and white one, well what used to be white ones.

‘’ He won’t come back from the dead when you keep staring like that, you know?’’ A young man, around the age of 28, with black-brown locks, and green eyes, turned to the voice, and saw a younger female, probably 25 years old, with long gracious black hair, that was played by the wind, and blazing big blue-grey eyes, that could strike anyone at any given moment. The young man looked at her, and saw a guide dog at her side, he turned to look the woman straight in the eyes again.

“ I am impressed that you knew where I was standing, and that I was staring at his body. Not to imply something rude or anything, Miss….?’’  The young man asked, as what he thought was casually. The woman snickered.

“ It’s Emily, Emily Highway, normally a Journalist but now an assistant of the criminal activities investigation department. And don’t you worry, I don’t take things badly that fast. Is it that awful to see this sight? And also may I know your name, sir?’’ She asked, as she held her hand out for him. The man took her hand.

” Oh sure, I am sorry I didn’t give it earlier, I am Jason Kingsley, and it’s not something you want to see, Miss Highway. This is normally a beautiful field to walk into, but now everything is red. The beautiful innocent white flowers, has been tainted by the red blood. A color that shouldn’t belong here.’’ The man, who is now indentified as Jason, sighed. Emily looked at him, a bit disapprovingly, as she neared the dead body of a man. She knelt before it, and sniffed the air.

“ Emily!’’ A new voice called, Jason looked to see a new figure coming into his view. Another man, probably 25/26, with Black hair, that had a tint of blue in it, and flaming dark blue eyes, was walking down the field, the man passed Jason and stopped two meters away from Emily.

“ Emily…… didn’t I tell you to wait? David is getting the equipment out, and Lizzy is scouting out the area with the others, what if somebody, like him.’’ The man glanced at Jason.’’ Would have done something to you? You know I care about you Em! You are like my best friend! So please be careful.’’ He almost begs Emily, and Emily looks at him indifferently, not like she could see him anyway. The man turned to the older male, and pointing his finger at him once again.

“ And you! Who may you be? Huh? This a murder scene, unauthorized people aren’t allowed at the scene. What is your business here?’’ The man eyed Jason warily. Jason laughed nervously, not knowing how to explain his presence here.

“ Leave him alone, Leon, he is a friend of the victim, he is no threat to me, so instead of yelling at him, could you do something productive and give me some hand gloves, so I can touch the body. And tell David and LIzzy to come as fast they can. I need their help.’’ She commanded, so saving the skin of poor Jason. Leon nodded, and left with a ‘ Yes, Miss.’ Jason sighed, letting the air he was keeping in unknowingly go. And looked up at the female before him.

“ Thank you Miss. Highway, I am grateful for the save.’’ He said thankfully. Emily though waved it off.

“ Don’t worry, you have the right to be here as far as I care, and I should be apologizing for Leon’s rudeness. He can be so rash sometimes, but you will love him in time.’’ she smiles as she said that. Jason looked up in surprise.

“ Uhm, you two are….. in a relationship?’’ He asked, slowly, as he was unsure if he should have asked or not. Emily’s head snapped up.

“ No! I mean no, you got a the wrong idea. It was meant as in a friendly way. I don’t like Leon that way, sir.’’ Jason nodded, and at that given moment Leon came back with the gloves, and two other persons, one a female and the other a male. The female was probably 28 herself, and the man in his mid-thirties. The female wasn’t high in her length, but her chest surely made up for it by the males, blond hair that was pulled back in a bun now, chic glasses covering flaming blue eyes strangely with a the color of yellow mixed in them. She wore a nice black blouse and black jeans. The man had his hair neatly combed and done, dark blond hair, his eyes holding dark green with some brown twirling around.
