"Good lets keep it that way for a while, for all we know this could just be some sick joke and I'm not willing to waste the department's resources on a wild goose chase. Look in to it but don't let anyone know what your doing."
"Now if you'll see your self out I've got a lot of work to finish up"
Her head was already buried in her paper work and Detective Sullivan was already out the door as she said those words.
Detective Sullivan walked back to his desk envelope in hand. He carelessly threw the item in hand on the desk and plopped down on his chair. It was then he noticed his partner's jacket on the chair on the other side of their desk.
"Probably out for some coffee" he thought to himself
Looking at his watch he decides to make a phone call.
"Hey" greeted Detective Santos as he finished is conversation on the phone.
Detective Sullivan looked at his partner in amazement, he was watching her strut from the door to their desk out of the corner of his eye. She was built like a supermodel, well except perhaps the height not to say that she was short or anything but not tall either. She had liquid blue eyes, the kind that made guys putty in her hands. Her hair was long and black cascading down her back sending ripples through it as she moved.
"Hey, I think we have a case," said Detective Sullivan tossing the envelope to his partner as she was sitting down.
"So, what do we do?" asked Detective Santos after she finished skimming through the papers.
"Come on, I know just the person that can help us out."
Before Detective Santos could inquire as to whom that person was her partner was already on his way out the door.
"Your friend lives here?" exclaimed Detective Santos as they pulled up to an ancient looking building.
They both walked in to the building and stood in that little place between the door to the outside and the door to the rest of the building. Her partner went to go ring the buzzer as Detective Santos peered in thorough the glass door. She noticed a man walking towards them but when he realized who they were, he decided to use the side entrance to get out. She figured that he had done nothing wrong but he simply didn't want to be the one that let t he cops in the building.
As they took the dated elevator up to the seventh floor, Detective Santos began to wonder who exactly this friend was. She could get nothing out her partner in the car, he insisted on talking about trivial matters such as what movies she liked and other nonsense. They both stood in silence as she rang the doorbell to the apartment. Whatever Detective Santos's preconceived notions were about the friend none of them matched what she saw in front of her.
A young man opened the door, if he can be called a man; he was about twenty years old but his slightly effeminate face made him look even younger. He was tall towering over both the detectives, with a slim build, which exacerbated his lofty height even more. His hair was fiery red and its shape made it look as if tongues of flame were leaping out form his head.
"Ah greetings Detective Sullivan I see you have brought your partner with you," remarked the young man gesturing towards Detective Santos.
"Well come in, come in before my neighbors start asking me questions as to why there are cops at my door"
Detective Santos looked around the apartment whose prevailing theme was chaos. The only thing that was common through out the place was darkness. The lights were dimmed to the point that they may as well be turned off. Almost all of the furniture was black or grey; the green plants on the windowsill opposite the main door were one of the few things in the room that had any color. To the left a long hall way stretched out like an arm leading to the rest of the apartment. All the doors to the other rooms were either left wide open or left a jar. The only one that was locked was what Detective Santos figured to be the bedroom.
"My name is Alexander Hauteville" his hand was out to shake her hand as she finished scanning everything around her.
"But you can call me Alex"
