Hazel has always wanted an exciting love life, then she met Jasper and everything changed. He brought her to a new life that she's only seen in movies she'd never thought that this would be her life.

27th October 2001 - United Kingdom

Hazel placed her bag down and waited for the bus with the cold breeze wrapped around her. A small dog that was held by its owner, barked hysterically at a man. He was at least 6ft tall, he wore all black apart from his gold heart locket that danced on his chest. He had an intimidating walk, a walk you could never forget, a walk that made it look like he always had something on his mind. Hazel and this mysterious man locked eyes, he kept walking.

She was about to call her younger sister who was still in town that she's going home, until she heard a soul deafening scream. She ran wishing it wasn't her sister.

When she arrived there was a crowd forming over this woman. She looked in pain and terrified for her life. The woman was sitting down, her back resting on a lamp post. She had been stabbed. Blood spilling out of her every second, Hazel looked back to see a far reaching crowd that surrounded the great mass of blood. As an older looking man barged through the never ending crowd of people, he knelt down next to the woman and let out a cry while holding onto her hand,
"Jessica!!" exclaimed the man.
"Who did this to you?!" He asked while his voice cracked.
Silence, then she fell.

A few hours later

Hazel's mind ran a million miles an hour, so many questions filled her head such as Who was that man dressed in all black? Does he have anything to do with Jessica? Did anyone else see him? Where did he go?

As she began to walk home she had a very mild feeling that she wasn't alone. There was a man sitting down on a park bench. As she started to walk closer, she realised it was the same man who comforted Jessica at her last moments. He was a wise looking man. Long brunette beard with a few curly grey hairs, posture was sharp. He wasn't on his phone or reading a book, he was just sitting there in complete darkness. As she was about to walk past him. He stopped her and said something she thought she'd never hear.

"Hello Hazel, My name is Isaac," said the man.

"Hi um Isaac, who are you?" asked Hazel even though she knew exactly who he was.

"Oh yes sorry, I'm Jessica's father, I saw you in the crowd of people. I was just wondering, have you seen this man? " Isaac said while reaching for his phone and showing Hazel a cctv picture of the man in all black.

"Yes I did actually"

"Any information would be great!" He said while his eyes filled with hope

"I saw him on maple bank road near the bus stop"

"Thank you very much" he replied

"I hope you don't mind me asking but why do you need to know?"

"I think he had something to do with my daughters death"

"Why do you think that?"

"Well earlier that day Jess and I were walking around town and I noticed one of my favourite shops was about to close so I wanted to have a look round but Jess didn't want to go in with me, she never really liked any of my interests she always said that they were too boring for her." He said while chuckling.

"Anyway, we decided we would meet back at the green in half an hour. She never told me where she was going but I just assumed it was a cafe close by. Next thing I know I hear a scream and a man in all black walks away from where she was stabbed. Your not the first i've asked who may of saw him and the only thing i know about him is his name and where he lives"

"Well go on, then tell me" Hazel says while leaning forward ready for the next part of the story.

"If you say so, his name is Jasper Reid and he lives in Apartment 48 on Bell Top street".

"Well what can I do to help?"

"Well there one thing you can do"

"Anything Isaac, anything"

"You could watch him and collect evidence that proves the fact he did kill my daughter"

"Sorry I don't think I can do that because that will be putting mine and your life on the line."

"What if I pay you?"

"It will have to be a lot of money for me to spy on a potential murderer"

"What about half a million?" he says hoping that will be enough.

Hazel stomach drops. Half million is a lot of money. She let out an awkward laugh, that's the laugh she does when she doesn't know how to fill an awkward silence so she just laughs. Awkwardly. She starts to fill out an imaginary pros and cons list in her head.

She takes her hand out of her pocket and says "i'll do it"

Hazel and Isaac shake hands.
