Dream Catcher

The Hancocks

Y/N's POV

Another murder investigation is on going. The bullpen is a mess with what happened just yesterday. Reports of school age children have been missing, we are guessing it is the other serial killer named Finn Hanks. His strategy? Luring kids with mechanical toys while waiting for their school buses, the killer will also leave a balloon shaped like an animal at the scene.

This time the youngest child of the wealthiest family in the city of Hancock is the victim. His name is Sebastian Hancock.

You proceeded to the luxurious mansion of the Hancocks with Cuevas, he's flirting with you the entire ride which you don't really mind because he's practically the closest team member to you. Years of basic military training brought the two of you in each other's lives.

"Have you eaten?"

"Yep."

"How have you been?"

"Fine, thanks."

"Oh come on, you can do better than that."

"Like what?"

"Answer me upfront, don't be cold towards me please."

"I am not being cold, I am just focused here. A child is in danger.", sadness evident in your change of facial expression.

"We'll solve this just like how we did our first assignment together during the swimming training."

"Oh no, don't bring it up or I'll kick your ass out of my car.", you pinched a small part of his skin under his left arm.

"Ouch! I love the way you thought I couldn't swim in a 21 ft. pool, it was hilarious."

"And what? Leave you drowning there? You're not dying on my watch. No, no."

"You can simply say, you love me. It's so simple. Say the three magic words. Come on."

"Asshole. Yes. I love you.", Cuevas couldn't believe his ears and his face lit up when he heard your words.

"For real?", he faced you, watching your every movement very closely.

"Yes, my bestfriend.", you saw his smile dropped to the depths of the ground.

"Hey, you got me right there. A direct arrow to the heart.", he looked away trying to comfort himself.

You saw that you are almost near your destination so you pulled over for awhile to clear everything with him, not giving him hopes that things between the two of you could still work. Your eyes locked on him as you held his face closer to you.

"Anthony, I will always be grateful about you having my back even though I maybe rude to you in a lot of incidences. I love you, yes. But I can't afford losing my bestfriend if the romantic strings won't work. And I am still trying my best to live my life to the fullest while I am still single and so should you, okay?", his eyes teared up and so does his heart.

Traces of your lips linger longer on his cheek when the two of you stepped out of the car.

"Are you the detectives assigned on the case?", a blond mid 20s guy approached you and his cold palm met yours when you shook hands. He's kinda trembling by the looks of it.

"Yes, sir. And who are you?"

"I am George Hancock, the next heir of the family. The missing child is my younger brother."

"You look like the younger brother, due to your childish attitude."

"What did you say?!", you stepped in their midst to stop the tension.
