Chapter One:
Magnus was in desperate need of a coffee break. He had spent all morning and most of the afternoon, going through the database to look for the possible meaning of "D.M.S." from a girl's necklace. Magnus understood he was the newest recruit so he had to do most of the grunt work. But he didn't understand why there couldn't be at least someone helping him, it was a pretty big job to go through all that information.
While Magnus was contemplating his situation he entered the station's main entrance. He was getting used to the noise and the amount of people who went through, almost so much that he didn't even look around just going for the exit. But today he couldn't help but notice a long, blond hair girl standing off to the side looking confused and scared. As Magnus got closer he realized he had seen her before, in pictures on his boss' desk.
"You must be Linda Wallander. I work with your Father. I'm Magnus Martinsson, are you okay is something bothering you?"
The girl looked up at him with her big blue eyes and gave him a huge, warm smile. Even though she was smiling he could still see worry in her eyes.
"Hi Magnus, good to meet you. Yeah I was wondering about my Father, he's been gone all day and I keep trying to call his cell but he won't pick up. I know he doesn't usually answer his phone but I can't but worry."
"Oh, yeah he's on a case right now looking into some things on the crime scene. He's alright, he has a tendency to turn off his phone or forget to charge it when he leaves." The two of them shared a little laugh knowing that's what probably happened. Linda sighed in relief, which made Magnus feel better in return knowing he had helped her.
"Kurt should be back soon if you want to wait for him in his office."
"Knowing my Dad that could be awhile. Could you recommend a good café or coffee place around here?"
At that moment the sun shined brightly through the window making Linda's blond curls glow matching the intensity of her wide smile. Magnus couldn't help but blink for a second and decided he wanted to spend more time with her.
"Well I was about to go and get some coffee myself if you would like to join me?"
"That sounds like a great idea, thank you Magnus."
They both turned towards the door and walked out into the crowed street, which for a moment seemed completely empty to him, becoming just the two of them.
