"Are you okay"? The message from Ashton read. Caleb was surprised to see Ashton text instead of simply linking and asking, so Caleb linked his mate instead.
[How come you texted?] Caleb asked.
[I knew you were busy, so I didn't wanna bother you. I felt this surge of…. I dunno how to describe this emotion, but it was highly unpleasant.] Ashton declared.
Turns out, the scene had freaked out Caleb so much that even Ashton could feel it. [It's not much. Just some disturbing stuff...at work. Job of a sheriff you know] Caleb shrugged.
[Oh my God… that… looked horrible] Ashton declared. Ashton didn't seem so sure of himself, but what was certain is that Ashton did get a peak at whatever Caleb saw a moment earlier.
So Caleb did the next thing he could think of. [Have you ever seen something like this?] Caleb asked his mate genuinely. He was very wary of the answer he could have gotten.
[Not that I know of.] Ashton recalled and declared honestly.
