Hey everybody! So…this is my first story! Yea for naive young writer's optimism! Wait-wait-wait! Before you hit the back button up there, cursing yourself for having the luck to click on a newbie's story, I beg you to wait, and at least let me make a formal promise:
I swear to do my upmost to keep this story as interesting as I can and avoid clichés, if at all possible.
There. I said it. Now while you give an author a chance? *puppy eyes*
So, to get on with it, I would like to warn you that the romance between the PPG and the RRB will not be immediate! Hints every now and then, but it will take time. Most relationships do, and just think of the pasts these guys have had!
Disclaimer: Let's make this simple – if you know them, I don't own them.
Rated T for the minorly dirty mouths and minds in later chapters that I have vaguely planned. =P Also for violence that is inevitable with the PPG and RRB Hope you enjoy the story!
"All right, people, back it up, back it up!" commanded a loud, barking voice. Captain Hendrecks shoved his way through the mass of humanity that obscured him from his goal.
With an internal sigh, Captain Hendrecks paused for a moment to look up at the starry night sky above him. Mother was right, I should have been architect.
But the portly man's reminisces on bad job choice were quickly interrupted as he finally made his way to the police tape and stepped gingerly over it, the blaring police cars and flashing of sirens and cameras his backdrop as he approached a gangly man.
"Oi, Thomson!"
The thin, large-nosed man turned sharply, fumbling in his haste to salute his superior.
"Captain 'Endrecks, sir, you arrived! Great Scott, it's a right good thing you did! We're not sure what to make of it," Thomson slurred though his thick cockney accents, made stronger by his drowsiness of being roused from bed to restrict the public ofLondonfrom trampling the scene of the crime.
"Yeah, yeah, that's great and all, but what is goin' on?" Hendrecks barked, surveying the scene of chaos in front of him.
The squat brick warehouse was surrounded by a swarm of British civilians who were held back by lines of police men and caution tape. General mayhem was ensuing as photographers strained to get a better shot of everyone and everything, wile reporters shoved tape recorders at every uniformed man in sight.
Thomson gulped. His boss was not a man well known for his patience in broad and warm daylight, and Thomson certainly did not want to test it at four in the morning.
"Well, sir, if you step this way, I – "
Grumbling something unintelligible under his breath, Captain Hendrecks stormed into the brick building, his awkward colleague hurrying after him, stumbling over his long feet in an eager attempt to please his superior.
Once the odd pair had escaped the prying eyes of the media, Thomson took the led the through a dimly lit hall, up a dusty flight of stairs, through another dank corridor, before halting at the entrance of an employee water closet.
"'Ere, sire, if you don't mind, I'd rather not go in…"
Although he would very much like to keep his job, Thomson wasn't quite sure he was willing to re-enter the loo to see…thatsight again. Thomson shuddered from the tip of his long nose the ends of his large cold feet. One view was enough to last a life time, thank you very much, sir.
Still furiously mumbling, Hendrecks fumed into the bathroom.
"Blasted…four in the morning…ridiculous…sane humans…."
But as soon as the short and stout cop entered the silent room, the officer's grumbling come to a abrupt stop. A moment of silence filled the air, when Thomson heard his boss say a single hushed word:
"Blimey."
So, that was the very short prologue. I'll probably have Chapter 1 up really soon, so keep a look out.
Reviews are ALWAYS appreciated, but I'm not desperate yet. I'm going to wait until I actually have some chapters before I humiliate myself by getting down on my knees and begging. :P
One last note - if you find any grammatical or other stupid errors in my writing, I please ask you point them out! Any other tips from more experienced and better writers are greatly appreciated!
