"Calum Hood please report to the Forensics Wing as soon as possible." an attractive, authoritative voice enunciated through the loud speaker.

"What a sexy ass voice." Calum said in his mind as he made his way to the front desk. Well at least he thought it was in his mind until he heard some giggles & received a couple of skeptical looks, causing a blush to cascade across his cheeks.

"Can you please direct me towards the Forensics Wing..." he glanced at her name plaque, "Olivia?"

"Down the hall and to the left, you'll find the elevators. Push the button with the F on it." She responded with a dazzling smile.

"Thank you, lovely." He winked, making his way down the ling corridor. If he wasn't mistaken, he could've seen a blush rush over her freckled cheeks. "I'm Calum, by the way." he called over his shoulder.

"I don't care!" She responded sing-songy, a hint of amusement in her voice.

"Um... hello?" Calum called into the empty wing. As a result of being ignored, he began walking through the space trying to get someone's attention.

"Calum!"

"Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit." he somehow managed to collide with the door that seemed to appear out of thin air. The fast click-clacking of heels coming down the hall bought the dark haired boy out of his temporary daze.

"I didn't mean to scare you, hun. My apologies." A soothing voice said. Calum recognized that voice; it was the 'sexy ass' one he heard minutes ago.

"It's perfectly fine. No harm done." As his vision finally readjusted after a thousand seconds, he could finally take in her features. She was alluring.

"I'm Braedon, by the way. We're going to be partners, so I felt that I needed to introduce myself to you before someone else unfortunately got the chance to." She started, annoyance evident in her voice.

"Unfortunately?" Calum asked quizzically. It didn't matter who or in which manner they were introduced, he would never think of his encounter with Braedon as a misfortune.

"Long story. Let's just say that some of the people here aren't too fond of me. They feed off of any negativity that involves me and turning you against me would be the icing on the cake. It's happened, and I refuse to let it happen again."

"I think I would still lo-like you despite what they had to say about you." A smirk easily finding it's way onto the boy's face. Calum could already feel a strong infatuation with this woman brooding deep inside of him. The words of his parentals earlier on seemed to have vanished from his mind.

"Flirting on the first day, huh? Bold. But don't worry, I like bold."

"Oh really?" The smirk returned once again. "How about we discuss other things you like over lunch?"

"Lunch?" She cocked her eyebrow at him.

"Just as friends!" He quickly recovered, knowing deep down inside all he wanted to do was spread Braedon's legs and-

"Calum! Are you listening?"

"Yeah, sure. What'd you say?"

"I said you're lucky I'm about to drop dead from hunger." (Eye roll included.) "I usually don't go out with strangers on the first day."

"Well we're not exactly strangers, are we partner?" Calum retorted, slickly slinking his arm around her waist while make sure to put extra emphasis on the word 'partner.'

"I guess not. Let's go!" Braedon's sudden burst of energy caught Calum completely off guard, but he liked it. What caught him even more off guard was when she intwined their fingers together, literally dragging Calum back into the elevators.

"Do you like Chinese, Cal?" the boy immediately blushed at the nickname, something he's been doing a lot of and quite frankly it's getting on his last nerves. "Well of course you do, never mind.

"Is that supposed to be some Asian joke?" Calum asked, feigning offense. "Because I'm not Asian."

A beautiful chuckle escaped Braedon's mouth, "No, Calum. I know you're not Asian. The head analyst, Miss Taylor, thought it was best for me to get to know you better, so she gave me your facebook, and your twitter and some other things. You post about Chinese food a lot, you know?"

Calum was sheepishly rubbing the back of his neck as he felt more and more guilty for lashing out at her.

He actually did post about Chinese food a lot, now that he thought about it.

"Oh." was all the boy could muster. "Wow I feel like a dickhead. I didn't mean to sound menacing. I just thought..."

"It's fine. Maybe I should've worded my question better. I'm sorry."

Silence soon followed as the elevator slowly descended down to the first floor.

Braedon was the first to break the silence, "Have you ever been to Brooklyn before?"

"Um... No?"

"Well let's go then!"

Once again, Braedon attached her hand to Calum's and dragged him towards the train station.

This is going to be a loooooong day.
