Some Love

Day 1

Its been three years. Three freakin' years. And now they call me. The phone rang.

"Yello? Devon speaking." I respond, as usual when I get a call.

"Agent?"

I drop the phone. I can't do this bs again. I pick up the phone and end the call immediately. My phone buzzes again, this time a text message. Answer, its an emergency. I turn my phone off and head to the bathroom, out of view and earshot of my colleagues. I call back.

"Agent D, we need you back on another case."

"Hell no! I quit three friken' years ago!"

"Agent-"

"No. Goodbye."

"Wait! It's about your partner!"

I pause. "What about him?"

"Just come into the office. Please."

"Fine, Phillips." I end the call. I leave the bathroom and wander over to my boss. "Hey, can I take next week off?"

I grab my bag and head to my car. Unlocking it, my phone buzzes again. I groan and look. Are you coming in soon? I load my stuff into the back, when my phone buzzes again. Please hurry, it reads. I start the car and drive. I don't even know where to go anymore. I don't want to go home yet, but I don't want to go back to the station. I drive to the hills above the city. I can't do this again. It's been too long, I can't go back now. I'm not losing another person. Not again. I look at the horizon and watch the sunset from high above the city. The sun makes the sky orange and yellow and the clouds purple and pink, casting the city in shadows as it sinks below the horizon. The last time I will be back for a while. Ugh, I'd better go to the office now, I think. I step on the gas and head to the office. It's dark now. I enter the familiar building.

"Agent D!" Phillips calls to me.

"Make it quick."

"Follow me."

I follow Phillips to a room. She pushes a file towards me. My eyes widen at who is labeled on the wanted page.

"No."

"Dev-"

"No. Phillips! He's dead!"

"Then how'd he kill seven people?"

I stop. Seven people? He killed seven people? Thats impossible. He's dead.

I wonder how a dead person killed a bunch of people. -Asher :)
