When I had thrown her out she landed on the ground and began to rub her back. Before she said anything I slammed the door and leaned against it.
"You are a terrible assistant right now."
I rolled my eyes and walked away from the door.

~a day later.~

I left my apartment and went walking down the stairs.
(I can't believe she didn't leave till midnight.)
I walked out the door and began to make my way to the shops to get a few things.
"Glad to see you going to look for clues. Such a great assistant."
I jumped from the sudden contact as I looked at the girl who had broken into my place. She had a smile on her face and was swinging some keys on her finger.
"What do you want?"
"I don't really want anything from you per say."
"Then why are you here?"
"I'm here to pick you up."
"Why?"
"Because you're my assistant."
(Does she think I'm actually going to help her?)
"Maybe even my best friend. I never had one of those before."
"I'm not going to help you."
"Yes you are."
"You broke into my house for starters and your crazy."
"I'm not crazy."
"I also don't know your name."
"I guess I should do that."
She straightened her posher and extended her hand.
"I'm Amelia."
"Nice to meet you I guess. So what do you do exactly?"
"I'm a detective. Well a Holistic Detective and I own?...... That part is still in debate but I am a detective. Here's my card."
"Amelia..... That's all it says on here with a phone number."
"Well there is a reason for that. To be fair there is always a reason for everything."
"Wait hold up....Holistic?"
"Yes. Holistic. I am a Holistic Detective."
"What the hell is a Holistic Detective?"
"A Holistic detective is a detective that investigates the interconnectedness of the universe."
"Do you use stuff that detectives use?"
"Not at all. Unless I really need to."
"How do you investigate if you don't use the stuff a detective uses?"
"We use the interconnectedness. Coincidence. And the rarer, sexier coinky-dinks."
"What?"
"Something I was told once."
"By who?"
"A person I know."
"You are a strange one Amelia."
"Don't focus on that right now. All you need to know is we are going to solve this case."
"I'm still not working with you."
"You're still unsure of me aren't you?"
"Of course I am. How can you call yourself a detective if you don't do what detectives do."
"Well the universe helps me with these. Everything is connected and also not connected."
"How can it be connected and not connected as well?"
"Don't focus on that detail. All you need to know once you know about the way the universe works; you will help with this case. Wether you look for clues or not. You are now apart of this case."
"No."
I began to walk off hoping she wouldn't follow but did. She caught up to me and ended up stopping in front of me.
"Sophia what are you doing?"
"I'm going to get some stuff from the shops."
"Let me drive you."
"I would rather walk."
"WAIT!.....let me drive you. It's the least I could do to help my new assistant and friend."
"Fine only to stop you from bugging me about it. I'm not your friend as well."
"We'll see." She told
