The dynamic duo
Beep !beep! beep! ughh it was another shitty day in my shitty life. I rolled out of bed hitting my alarm clock. Dame I hated that thing , but it got the job done. I groggily pulled my self together, and sorted through my shirts pulling out a grey shirt and leather jacket . Half of my closet looked the same jeans , shirts and maybe one sports coat . If we had more guidelines for apparel I would have been fired by now. I worked at precinct 67 in New Orleans. I am a detective my social life mainly consists of scum bags I bring in , I didn't need to look fancy for anyone. The closest I have come to having a girl friend is my partner via , she is the best partner I have known her since we were in the sandbox. Bleep bleep ugh my train of thought was interrupted by Via's car horn . We drive to work together every morning since I didn't have a car. She really saves me a 5 mile walk to work.
I grabbed an apple , and ran down the metal creaky stairs being careful not to touch the hand rails , they were never reliable. I Remember one summer I was coming down the steps and fell an entire story . I almost broke my neck my shoulder is still whack! That's another story , when I walked out of the building I saw Via in her 1960's Porsche it was pretty sweet she was a profiler she made a lot more money then me , she always had a project going on. She was wearing a fedora like always with her aviator glasses and hair lose . She always looked hot , but she really was quite average . I think she uses mind control.
" hey dude what took you so long"
I stepped in pulling out the car door while remarking
" do u really want to tuch that subject right know"
" well guess what ,my fried Dom owns one of the most exclusive nightclub in the state, he got me two tickets, what you say" Via always had friends everywhere , she knew so many people, I always loved hanging out with her even though she could some times be a little pushy. She always scares the shit out of me in one way or another. Secretly I wonder if these people she keeps talking about really exist.
"So what do you say?"
"Sure I said ,can't wait"
"Alright! Pick you up at 8"
Driving to work seemed different today I just couldn't put my finger on what was different. Everything looked the same, same buildings , same uncomfortable seat , same Classic rock playing out of Via's stereo same everything! Once we arrived we walked to the building to see my boss standing at my desk . He always looked mad ,but today he looked extra upset. Via patted me on the shoulder ,and said , "good luck " quickly making her way to her office. I almost never worked at my desk I always worked in Via's office while she was out , I don't know where she goes, but she didn't seem to mind me sitting in their.
" Dan " I heard a deep voice yell, it was my boss, " I have a case it's high profile and they want two best people on it , take via and get going "
"Yes boss " I quickly replied
I was filled with relief that I wasn't in trouble. I am always getting into trouble. Via was waiting in the door way of her office with her keys
" ready to roll?" She exclaimed
"As I will ever be"
On the drive we were making bets about what they classify as high profile. Their is very little crime in the French Quarter besides muggings. I had a pit in my stomach for some odd reason about this case. As we pulled up to the seen the pit in my stomach deepened, and my mouth dropped to the ground. This was the first day of the rest of my life.
