JeffMads Modern AU | Year 1 {Complete}

1st Anniversary Chapter :))

YOU'RE GETTING THIS 2 DAYS EARLY!! (mainly because I wanted to share it)

So, wow it's been a whole ass year since I started this. Woah. Wowza. That's kind of crazy y'all. I never expected for this to be so long (which it's going to be much much longer, don't you worry) or that people would actually enjoy it. And to get so many reads! Woah! Never would I have thought.

Is it stupid for me to be so "WOW" about it? Maybe, I don't know... it is a dumb fanfic that doesn't really have a plot and I write it as I go and there are several plot holes. OH! And I don't proofread anything??? How did this get even slightly popular?

All I can say is, THANK YOU!! Thank you for reading this. Thank you for enjoying it.

And now, without further ado, a special little short story thing. I had a lot of fun writing it and I hope you enjoy reading it. (Oh, and it was a chance for me to sneak in as much as the 50's slang I know)

James POV

The diner was loud. A little too loud for my liking, but it's what environment this had to go down in.

My partner, Seabury, slid into the booth across from me. He was clearly disheveled.

"Don't you ever try and pet a street cat, mean little buggers." He set his hat on the table.

I raised an eyebrow.

"Not a word."

"Hullo, the name's Maria and I'll be your server today. Anything I can get you anything, folks?" She pulled out a notepad from her apron pocket.

She was good looking, for a girl, at least. She actually looked good in the red uniforms they made the employees wear.

"I'll take a chocolate milkshake and some fries," Seabury said.

"And for you?"

"Vanilla milkshake, please."

"Of course, Dear. I'll have those out here in a jiffy." She left us alone.

"Okay, the guy behind me, leather jacket, he's our man."

I peeked over Seabury's shoulder. There he was alright, Charles Lee, our main suspect. He was sharing a plate of fries with a girl. Possibly his girlfriend... it was too early to tell.

"Alright, I'm going to use the Gentleman's." I got up.

I walked past the couple.

"This is the best 1 month anniversary I've ever had," the girl said as she stared into Lee's eyes.

"Only the best for you, Bella." Lee touched her hand.

Definitely together. That was good to know.

In the bathroom, I washed my hands. 

When I walked past them again the girl was gone and Lee was ruffling through a billfold for money. 

That was fishy. 

He looked up at me. 

Shit. 

Keep walking, don't blow your cover, James.
