And Still As Time Goes On, We Remain The Same (A Weekend Write-In Prompt)
- Reads 15

- Parts 1
Put together two nosy detectives, an incompetent small town police force, one rather slow evening, and an elderly couple being brought in for questioning on their latest spate of supposedly "petty" crimes- and what do you get?
A disregard to the regular rules of privacy.
Bored stiff out of their minds, with the couples' case files sitting right there in front of them along with a hell of a lot of time to waste, trainee Detective Bennet and her colleague take a surface-level dive into exposing some of the truth behind just what makes these two pensioners so notorious in the town.

Cry for me
The first body was left drained of every single drop of blood. It could have been mistaken for a bloodless crime if it weren't for the crimson streaks on the girls' face. Her terrified expression was frozen as her pierced eyes glared into the nothingness. What looked like her real tears blended in with the crimson streaks on her pale cheeks. It looked random until we learned that it must be the M.O. of the killer seeing as his second victim, my sister held those same markings. It had been an odd sight; she had looked peaceful and unharmed except for the bloody tears that couldn't be washed off no matter how hard they tried. My father, the head sheriff of the Southwood's police station, swore that he would bring my sister the justice she deserved, but things escalated fast. A new body was found nearly every month; Girls would go missing and would later be found with unremovable blood streaks on their faces. The blood was always old, and it belonged to other victims he killed. The stained faces of his victims led most parents to hold closed casket funerals. Only after nearly a year since the murders began did the cops learn that most of the bodies of the bloody faced victims had disappeared. It was a secret that they had yet to reveal to the public in fear of the people of Detroit making a mockery out of them. Surely, they had enough experience in their fields to not be outsmarted by one guy!Complete

Point Blank
Scene Sample: "Leaning over the case file, Felix unlocked the cuffs and sat straight, moving next to the man and whispering slightly. "Information, now." He shifted in his seat, and reached out to grab at her waist, but didn't make it more than a few centimetres before he had his face on the file and right arm being pushed in-between his shoulder blades, not enough o dislocate or break but enough to cause pain. "Information now or so help me I'll leak it to the gangs we're after that you helped us, and you'll be the next body on a slab and in this case file." Behind the glass, Hayes watched his partner with a ting of amusement, their boss watching carefully before commenting. "Quite a partner you've got their Hayes."

"So, let me get this straight. You stomped all over his paperwork?" She started. "Not intentionally, but yes," I confirmed it. "Threw a drink in his face?" She added. "Expensive red wine." I described. "Rammed into his car with yours deliberately?" she counted on her third finger. "Um...I'm not proud of that one," I said cringing. "And called him offensive names?" She ended the list and I winced. "Twice." I specified. "And you're still alive?" She blinked, looking genuinely surprised. "Geez, don't be dramatic or anything..." I frowned at her hyperbolic statement. "Maybe he's keeping you around to get revenge." She suggested. Possible. I wouldn't put it past him. "I didn't know alright!" I exclaimed. "Let's hope that excuse is acceptable.." She was merely amused. "Working with my new boss is going to be a piece of work." ** Synopsis: When the CEO of Signature Heights: Jensen Black, and a stubborn employee: Alexandra Brook, clash, it's a battle of wits & a war of perseverance.

The unsolved love crime.
These short stories will be of mine and my friend's characters that we made to cosplay the videos are on YouTube. By day, the 2 main characters were the city's most celebrated detectives, unraveling the darkest mysteries with unnerving precision. By night, they were something else entirely-killers, bound by a pact forged years ago when the lines between justice and vengeance blurred beyond recognition. This is also contained GAY lots and lots of gay (LESBIANS!!!! YAYAYA) If you don't like it you can just leave thenk you!! Please also let me know if you would like access to my youtube account so you can watch the videos involving these characters to get a better idea of what they look like. DISCLAMER: some of the videos will be similar to the story line but not the exact same. Credits to my friend as well who made one of these 2 characters LOVE YOU BESTIEEEE!!!

Dreams do come true if only we wish hard enough. You can have anything in life if you will sacrifice everything else for it. -- J. M. Barrie Detective Elizabeth Chase is who you say she is. Depends on how you see her. Awkward? Check. Rebellious? Check. Unreasonable? Check. Caring? Check. Spontaneous? Check. Sarcastic? Check. Half of the people claim that they don't really know her. The other half insist that they know her. Her partner Detective Valentine Fetcher is somewhere in between. He never sees things just in black and white. He thinks he's the sensible one. However, the facts turn out that he's not so good at making the right decisions. The two detectives have been partnering for five years. But this year isn't a typical high crime-rate year. More and more surprises show up. Things that didn't add up all make sense. Everything has become messy, blurry, and complicated. Do they really know each other?Complete
Between
She's panting, flushed and breathless like something from another century. It hurts to look at her, so stunningly alive in a way he isn't. Almost smiling, too. She has the kind of lips that need undiluted devotion. "You've always looked at me," she breathes. Yes, and he finds himself thinking about ruin. The right kind, like his knuckles against her jaw to shake her apart. Freedom. Maybe in another life, he brushes the hair off her shoulder and whispers, 'Eyes on me.' Maybe in another life, they have time. 𝑫𝒐 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒓 𝒊𝒕? 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒄𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒎𝒔 𝒃𝒆𝒕𝒘𝒆𝒆𝒏 𝒔𝒊𝒍𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆. She isn't his to protect. He's a cop, she's taken, and rules are rules. But Faro Wyatt has mapped every freckle on her nose and dreamt of the oceans in her eyes. His resolve is weakening. So when the radio crackles with a single call, he's breaking every rule from here on out.
