Safety can only come so close.

Alex.
I pursed my lips slightly,"He would come in sometimes with his daughter but lost of the time he was by hisself,"I said slowly. "Are you a detective or something?"I asked raising an eyebrow. If he was a defective, he definitely beat Scott on the hotness scale.

Casey,
I looked at her, "You could say that." I said with a slight smirk. I got that question a lot. I wasn't exactly truthful to the people I met, but I needed to lie a little in order to help these people out. "Thank you for your time Alexandria, it was a pleasure meeting you." I added, turning on my heel. I needed to figure out what this was, and stop it before it hurt anyone else.

[lauren.]

Alex.
I narrowed my eyes slightly,"Hang on. You didn't pay,"I said crossing my arms as I pursed my lips at him. Plus, I didn't want him to leave just yet. I wanted to know what he does.

[haileyjordan]

Casey,
I stopped, turning to face her again. "My bad. I get caught up in my job quite often." I said as I handed her some money, "you can keep the change." I shoved my book into my backpack, hoisting it onto my shoulder.

[lauren.]

Alex.
"That's quite a bit of change,"I said raising an eyebrow. "And what exactly is it you do?"I asked crossing my arms. "If you're not really a detective or part of the police, then what is it?"I asked.

[haileyjordan]

Casey,
I felt a bit irritated that she kept asking me questions. I sucked in a breath before looking at her. "Listen, it's something I don't really talk about, and I don't really tell people I barely know. It's not really a big deal." She was definitely the curious type, and I had a feeling she wasn't going to let this go.

[lauren.]

Alex.
I pursed my lips,"Obviously it's a big deal since you aren't telling. If you don't tell people you hardly know what you do then get to know me,"I said looking at him. Heck, if a relationship didn't bloom out of this I at least want to kiss this gorgeous man.

[haileyjordan]

Casey,
I smirked, raising my eyebrow. "You really are the persistent type, aren't you?" I asked. She was pressing me for time, but it was a little hard to resist her. "Alright then, tell me about yourself Alexandria." I had never met a girl that was so upfront; I liked it.

[lauren.]

Alex.
"Alex!"I heard my boss call at me,"Quit flirting and get back to work,"he said shaking his head. I flushed slightly and rolled my eyes. "How about we meet up when I get off work?"I asked raising an eyebrow. I had something I had to do and he seemed like he needed to go do something.

[haileyjordan]

Casey,
I usually didn't stay around after I finished a job, but this one may last over night anyways. I bit the inside on my cheek, "Alright. You pick the time and place, I'll be there." I told her. Hopefully.

[lauren.]

Alex.
I could see him hesitate slightly at this,"Okay. Meet me here at 8 o'clock and then we can head to my place to hang out,"I said shrugging. I watched his reactions and movements to see if he'd actually show.

[haileyjordan]

Casey,
I nodded, "Sounds good. I'm Casey, by the way." I said with a smirk. "Now you better get back to work before you get fired." I grinned. I usually hunted at night, so this incident better be done before then.

[lauren.]

Alex.
I nodded as I glanced over at my boss who was still watching me,"Nice to meet you Casey,"I said before I went back over to the counter, beginning to clean up as my boss harped at me for a little bit.

[haileyjordan]

Casey,
I had figured out what had killed the man. It was definitely a spirt alright. One that had it out for that man's family. I was able to save the rest of his family and burn the spirits body, only to have a few cuts and scratches, but one rather big cut near my forehead. I checked my watch, seeing it was almost eight. I cussed under my breath and got into my car, speeding back to the coffeeshop. Why the hell was I doing this?

[lauren.]

Alex.
I had just finished closing up the coffee shop and stood outside, glancing around. I looked at my watch as it read 8:01. Even though it was past eight o'clock, I kind of knew he wouldn't show up. I shrugged and started walking down the sidewalk.
