" Detective Finley, what a pleasant surprise, what do you want?" Clark says, sounding less than happy or surprised that Silas is here. " Well well well, Clark you look great, it took you long enough to get here, though I was just about to leave due to me not needing your assistance anymore. I've found an upgrade as to where it concerns you." Silas points in my direction. I'm guessing they're not friends, judging by the tons that they are using with each other. I look between them now being the one to look confused. " Am I missing something?" I say to no one in particular as I'm just looking for an explanation, not really giving a shit as to who it comes from. Silas with no surprise is the one to answer. " Yes, quite a bit actually, but you're new so I'll make this brief. Clark from time to time helps me salve cases concerning unexplainable deaths in our little town and those that surround, but since you can actually see them I'd like to switch Clark out for you as you would be more useful and I seem to like you better then her in general, your not a brat." he says practically spitting out his last words. Jesus ya they don't like each other but I don't know why, I'll have to ask Clark about it later.
They're all looking at me now waiting to hear what I'll say to Silas's offer, man even Kit is waiting though he looks less interested and more bored than anything. " uh sure why not, but will I get payed for it because if this is going to take time out of my job I'm gonna need to get payed, nothings free you know.'' I say slightly sarcastic, I look at them and find that Silas has a huge grin on his face as Clark is just staring at me like I just took a shit on her bed. " Yes we can arrange for you to get paid for your services, we'll be in touch Riley." he says as he heads out the door. " Well that was not surprising." Clark says as she starts walking toward the back storage room. " I'm still a little confused, why do you guys dislike each other so much, the man is practically made from a god." I say sarcastically. " Firstly yes he's hot, but secondly he's a playboy,ok trust me you don't want to get messed up in that. He's just a gorgeous fey asshole who can't keep his dick in his pants." she says angrily. Wow ok was not expecting that, and hold up fey as in fairies and shit." wait what, what do you mean by fey, and if you don't want me to go through with his offer I can go after him and say that I've changed my mind its no big deal.'' I say following her into the back room. " what I mean is he's some kind of fey, he never told me what type though so I can't tell you. And you can take the offer, you need the money." Clark says with her back toward me. I'm so confused, ever since I was little I believed in the supernatural and paranormal, like how can you not when you see dead people and can read minds. But it's just so surprising to hear it confirmed from someone else.
" You didn't know about the fey did you?" she asks, when I shake my head no she continues " Oh ha my bad sorry, well since that's out there you should also know that witches, vampires, werewolves, and basically any other thing you can think of is real, and we have most of them living in our town except for wendigos those are more up north they don't like the heat. So because our town is mostly made up of all these supernatural beings, humans can somehow sense that so they usually make a point to stay away from our town, that's why your arrival is such a big deal. We do have some normal people but not many, maybe a handful and that's it." she says now looking at me for my reaction. I just stare as all the missing pieces click into place, so that must be why I can only hear the thoughts of certain people, it must be because they're human as for the people I can't hear aren't.
After ending our conversation abruptly because Jack came back from his lunch break. Clark said that we would talk more about the strange and interesting subject that is their little town when we get home but at the moment it was my break time so I headed out of the store and started walking in the direction of the police station I want to talk more with Silas about his offer.
I'm starting to doubt if I'm going the right way since Kit decided he needed to go do something else someplace else, I think it was just an excuse not to tour me around again. My doubt goes away when I see a slightly large brick building with a large sign indicating that its the police station, it's about fucking time I've been stumbling around for the good part of an hour, my lunch break ended a while ago but before I left I told Clark where I was going so that if I was late she'd excuse my absents.
once inside the station I asked for detective silas finley and was told that he was out on his lunch break. like fucking hell why can't people stay put. I asked the officer at the front desk if he knew where I could find silas and he pointed me in the direction of a pub not to far down the street from the station. I thanked him and turned to leave but before I opened the door I caught a glimpse of the officers thoughts indicating that he was human. I got flustered by what I heard because all he was thinking about was how amazing my ass looked in my cargo pants. I scoffed and resisted the urge to slap him in the face but thought better of it as he was a police officer and I was in a police station. that would not end well for any of the included parties.
once outside again I turned in the direction of the pub and started my trek down the sidewalk.
