Chapter 1:
Beep. Bark. Beep. Bark. BEEEEEEEEEP!
I shot up from my bed, scrabbling for my alarm.
Snooze.
Yes that sounds like an excellent idea!
Usually I would follow that idea, but I can't for two reasons.
One: The dog is barking. He'll pee everywhere if I don't walk him.
Two: I start my job today, as Special agent.......
BRING. BRING. BRIIINNNG!
Great first the alarm, then the dog, now someone wants to see me,
Stumbling out of bed, I check the wall clock.
5:30. this person better have chocolate.
I open the door and greeting me are brown eyes and a charm smile.
Lucky for him I don't have my gun yet.
No hello's, I need to get straight to the point with this guy.
"What are you doing here?" I ask, making a grumpy face.
"I heard your dog barking." His response seems to be an improvement from the classic I saw your lights from the road excuse.
"You heard my dog, from your apartment across town?"
He nodded.
"Christopher James Booth." I say smiling "you're just like dad"
"Well, Natasha Christine Booth, I'd really like to say your like mum but," he stopped and I knew what was coming next. "We both know who got the brains!"
Like most times, I have no comeback, so I let him in my apartment.
Oh, how I wish I had my gun.
