A Mystery ( Hiccup X Reader)

Stay away from Hiccup Haddock

I walk out of the room as the road was filled with police cars. I sighed as I don't see Hiccup anywhere   "He's gone " Eret says from behind me.

"is he coming back? "

"Didn't look like it" I looked down, I should have expected that from him

"right, " I say as he continue to speak with another officer, oh good lord i need to go back home.

"sorry, where am I? And uh do you know where I can get a cab? It's just a... Well, my leg " I asked him, he showed a pity face when he looked at my walking stick. Feeling bad probably, i get that look a lot

" Burgess, try the main road " he says as pulls up the police tape for me. I thank him till he said something that i should have expect 

"but your not his friend " I stopped
"-he doesn't have friends, so who are you? "

"I'm - I'm nobody, I just met him " I stammered, I guess these two went to school together knowing Hiccup doesn't have any 'friends'

"a bit of advice stay away from that guy " he

"why? " he looks at me shock, like I don't know a very important fact.

"he's not paid or anything, he likes it. The weirder the crime the more he's interested. And you know what? One day just showing up won't be enough, one day he'll be standing over a body and he'd be the one who put it there "

"why would he do that? "

"because he's a psychopath " this time Snoutlout answered "psychopaths get bored "

"Eret! Snoutlout! " Astrid called out from the house

"coming! " they both replied to her at the same time

"stay away from Hiccup Haddock, " Snoutlout warned a he followed Eret inside 

I walk off, thoughts started running in my head, then I heard a telephone calling, I look at it but then ignored it.

In the busy streets of Berk, I called for a taxi but none came to my aid. And whenever u pass by a telephone it keeps ringing. That's weird.

I passed by another ringing phone booth and decided to just answer it, since it seems to follow me annywhere

"hello? "

"there's a security camara there on the building to your left, do you see it?"  a deep manly voice says, as I look at where he said where the camera is
Now I'm freaking out.

"who's this? Who's speaking? "

"so you see the camera, Dr Maxwell? " oh shoot he knows my name

"yeah I see it " the camera then pointed on other cameras that were all watching me.
how is he doing this? 

"get in the car, Dr Maxwell or I would make some sort of threat but I'm sure your situation is quite clear to you " it demanded as a black car pass by and the call ended

I went inside the car in silence, I wish I brought my gun with me.

We arrive at a building and it seems to be the parking lot, as I exit the car i saw a manly figure in a suit. '' have a seat, yn '' he gestures to the chair next to me. what is with this guy and why does he have to call me from a telephone, 

''you know ive got a phone, i mean it was very clever and all that. but uh. you couldve just phone me on my phone '' i say not sitting down at the chair he gestured to me to

''when one is avoiding the attention of Hiccup Haddock, one learns to be discreet, thats why i picked this place. your leg seems to hurt so please sit down '' he kindly says, but there is something about him that i cant quite pick up though

''i dont want to sit down '' he sighs then observes me by looking straight at my face

'' you dont seem very afraid '' what does he expect me to think, why should be scared of him

'' well, you dont seem very frightening. '' he laughed at my come back

''ah yes, the bravery of a soldier. Bravery by far is the kindest word for stupidity, dont you think? anyways what is your connection to Hiccup? '' i was confused at his question

'' i dont have one, i barely know him, i met him just yesterday '' he hummed and brushed his beard

''since yesterday youve moved in with him and now your solving crime together, might i expect a happy announcement by the end of the week '' i feel flustered, what does he mean by that. please tell me he doesnt mean what i think he means 

''uhmm, okay who are you? '' 

'' someone who is interested in Hiccup Haddock ''

'' interested in him why, im guessing your not friends then'' he scoffed at my answer

''youve met him, how many friends do you imagine he has? i am the closest thing to a friend that Hiccup is capable of having ''

'' and whats that '' 

'' an enemy '' 

'' in my mind certainly, id say my arch enemy,  he does love the dramatic '' my phone started buzzing and i saw the text from no other than Hiccup. The man saw this and smiled 

Baker Street come at once if convenient - H2

'' i hope im not distracting you but do you plan to continue your association with Hiccup '' 

''i could be wrong but, i think that is none of your business. '' i say a little glint of anger in my tone

'' it could be ''      '' -it really couldnt'' i answered quickly. He sighed in frustration and pulled something out of his jackets pocket which was a notebook and a pen

'' if you do move into 221B Baker Street, id be happy to pay you a meaningful sum of money on a regular basis to ease your way. '' he says as he scribble down at his notebook

'' in exchange for what? ''     '' information, nothing indiscreet, nothing that will make you uncomfortable with just tell me whats he up to'' i thought about it for a moment then i made a decision a gave him  a smile and scoffed

'' thats really nice of you but no '' he looked shocked. '' dont care for the money i dont like double crossing people '' he started to chuckle 

'' you are very loyal very quickly '' ''- no im not im just NOT interested '' 

he then grabs the pocketbook again '' trust issues it says here, could it be you trust Hiccup among all people. ''

'' who says i trust  him? '' he glared  at me, since i already had enough of this non-sense as i was to walk away. 

'' i imagine people already warned you to stay away from him, but i can see from your left hand your not doing that '' i stopped, how  does he know about that. i turned around to face him. 

'' can i see it?'' i held out my hand as he examines it, raising a brow in confusion the smirked as if he have solved a puzzle '' remarkable''  ''what?'' he turns away as he looks at the wall in front os us 

'' most people blunder around the city and all they see are streets and shops and cars but when you walked with Hiccup, you see the battlefield and youve seen it already '' i needed to change this subject cuz im really not comfortable with his statement

''and whats wrong with my hand? '' 

'' you have an interment tremor in your left hand. your therapist thinks its post traumatic stress disorder. She thinks your haunted by memories of your battles! fire her, shes got it the wrong way around, your under stress right  now and your hand is perfectly steady. Your not haunted by the war Dr. Maxwell.... 

..You miss it  '' i shivered in his conclusion, and i didnt know what to say, so i just stood there frozen as he leans in to my ear and whispered 

''Welcome Back''
