Chapter 1

Black coffee is what i am drinking when we, Officer Pedrad and myself, get yet another address. Its pretty far from where we are stationed so i will tell you a little about myself.

My name is Tris Prior. I work at the Chicago Police Department as a detective, with my colleague Uriah Pedrad. My life was like any other teenage girls life. Except my high school boyfriend was a jock who defended me infront of a chearleader who bullied me. The chearleader Molly Atwood didnt like me but didnt bully me anymore. The Jock, Four Eaton, was my boyfriend, trust me I still cant believe it. Well anyway we were a good couple junior and senior year until graduation. He sent me letter telling me that since we were both going to a different college it wasbest we seperate. he said it broke his heart as much as it did me. Bullshit was all i thought.

But that dosent matter anymore, I'm here now and that's all that matters. we arrive at our destination and i can make out four figures and a child. I recognize two figures and i wish i didnt. one ofthem is Peter Hayes, ex-abusive-fiancec with a gun. he only abused me once but still. The other is Four Eaton. Great. i dont recognize the others but i do see that once Peter saw the flashing lights he ran before any one could get to him. Four ushers the family inside of the house. after uriah parks the car we tell the neighbors to go back inside which they do. I go knockonthe door to ask questions. Awoman with dark skin and blue eyes answers." Good evening im Detective Prior and this is Detective Pedrad,we would like to askyou some questions.""yes please come into the living room." we go into the room and irecognize yet another face.Molly Atwood. i wonder if that bitch remembers me. "Can I please have your names" Four Eaton, of course, Marlene Eaton,Fours sister, Molly Eaton. I snap my head up to look up at her, and she has a smug look on her ugly face. And the child who is a boy, Drew Eaton. my day gets better and better doenst it." Howdo you know Peter."Marlene answers this" Hes my fiance"What?"For how long" Uriah says since i can no longer talk." At least a month." Ibroke it off just four days ago that cant bepossible. I lean over to Uriah andsay" I cant take it anymore, finish it. I'll be at Al's."" I hope your going for food and not drinks." he replys."well see " I tell him" Detective Pedrad will ask further questions. I'm Detective Prior and if you have questions for me here is my card." I give them a card without looking at their faces."How will you get there" Uri asks. "I can walk. Remember I can take care of myself" I say."Thats not what I am worried about""bye ill excuse my self out." And With that i leave.
