Safety can only come so close.

Alex.
I narrowed my eyes,"You're not going to tell me? You showed up for a small meeting with a fucking wound on your forehead and you're not going to explain yourself?"I asked shaking my head. Strangely I was worried about him, who would want a job that gets you hurt

[haileyjordan]

Casey,
I sighed, slumping down. "Alexandria. Please. Some things are just better left unsaid. Why does this matter so much to you?" I asked. Why did it matter that much?

[lauren.]

Alex.
I shrugged,"You're hurt. And I'm concerned,"I said pulling at some string that was on my jacket. What's so wrong with asking questions?

[haileyjordan]

Casey,
I chuckled, "Sweetie, the last person you need to be concerned about is me. I can handle myself very well." I said. Concerned about someone she barely knew? That was interesting.

[lauren.]

Alex.
I narrowed my eyes slightly,"Don't call me sweetie,"I said flicking my wrist slightly. "Fine. What brought you here? To this town?"I asked.

[haileyjordan]

Casey,
I shrugged, "I kind of travel around, I guess. I just had this feeling when I got here. So I stayed for a bit. Plus when that man got mur- committed suicide, it sort of pulled me in." I caught myself, hopefully in enough time.

[lauren.]

Alex.
I leaned forward,"Wait what?"I had caught what he had tried to fix. "That guy was murdered?"I asked as my eyebrows were raised. "So you are some sort of detective? Though one that gets hurt,"I said pursing my lips.

[haileyjordan]

Casey,
I put my hands up in surrender. "You got me. I am. But I'm more of an undercover one if you ask me." I said. Sure, detective would work. I have impersonated many detectives throughout my life. Actually I've impersonated many people. Almost went to jail once because of it.

[lauren.]

Alex.
I rolled my eyes,"Okay, you wouldn't have given up that easily if you were just some sort of detective. So I'll take detective right now,"I said smirking. "I'll get it out of you sooner or later,"I said biting my lip, trying to look sexyz

[haileyjordan]

Casey,
I chuckled, "You are a very persistent girl." I said. Okay she was super hot, and it was killing me. "Do you interrogate every guy you bring home?" I grinned.

[lauren.]

Alex.
I smirked as I tilted my head slightly,"Well I like to get to know someone before I do anything crazy with them,"I said as I shed my jacket off. Ew, I can't believe I was still in this ugly uniform.

[haileyjordan]

Casey,
"Alright then Alex. You can ask me whatever you want, just not by job, okay? Get to know me, if you really want to." I liked her- she didn't take any bullshit. That's how I am too.

[lauren.]

Alex.
I pursed my lips,"Okay,"I said,"Let me go change into more comfortable clothes before we get into this long night,"I said grinning as I hoped up and headed to my bedroom to change.

[haileyjordan]

Casey,
I watched her leave, a smirk still playing on my face. Sure I checked her out, she was nice to look at. Long night? I definitely got myself into this, and I would probably regret it later.

[lauren.]

Alex.
I smiled as I shut the door and thought about this. Sweats and a tight tank top? Yes. I changed and then walked out braiding my hair to the side. "So where are you from?"I asked as I came into the livingrom. "Want something to drink?"
