Title: Where Does It Hurt
Chapter One: Discouraging Disappointments and Unmentionable Surprises
"GET OUT!" I yelled at Morelli who was standing by my foyer.
Morelli's facial expression changed from anger to regret and then to disappointment as he gathered his coat, slipped in his boots and walked out the door slamming it behind him.
The door didn't fully close and I slumped on to the floor letting my eyes rest on the open door, just realizing what had just happened
I'm Stephanie Plum and that was Joe Morelli my on again off again boyfriend.
Morelli is an Italian hunk of a cop, not to mention when I was only 16, he had managed to get me out of pants and into his behind the éclair case where I had worked.
And as of now he was currently off again.
We had had a stupid fight about commitment again, both Morelli and I knew that we may be in love with each other yet nether of us was willing to stop and commit to one another.
Tears were slipping out of my eyes and it occurred to me that I may have had a little to much of every thing right now for I usually never cried.
I stood and quickly wiped my face with the sleeve of my grey hoodi, walking over to my door I closed it quickly and went to the kitchen searching the cupboards for food.
There was nothing and it occurred to me I hadn't gone grocery shopping in 2 weeks. I mental made a note to stop by the super market, I opened the fridge and grabbed a beer.
When I turned around I found Diesel sitting on my kitchen table staring at me.
Diesel yet another guy in my life but not a guy I had sexual and or romantic relations with.
Ok so there may have been a few kisses here and there but I had never slept with the guy, although there were times I had thought about it I never actually did.
He was a good looking guy and anyone would be happy to snag Diesel, not only that but any women would also be happy to see a guy like Diesel just standing in her apartment but me I'm not any girl and I was slightly disappointed to see him.
He flashed me his dimpled smile and came over to pat my head.
"Nice to see you sweetheart…you don't exactly look all that happy to see me."
I grimaced as Diesel took the beer out of my hand cracked it open and took a long sip.
"Is this a professional visit or a personal one?"
Diesel looked hurt at my words and shrugged.
"Professional. I need your help."
I grabbed another beer and sat down at the table, Diesel sitting across from me.
"Do you have to find another Unmentionable?"
Diesel took another long drink of the beer and crushed the can.
"Yeah, but you have to watch out for her-"
At that I cut Diesel off, usually Diesel never hunted Unmentionables that were hers they were always him's.
"Wait it's a girl this time?"
Diesel nodded and continued on as if I hadn't interrupted him.
"Listen she happens to be a very big important Unmentionable to find, in fact if we don't find her a lot of other people could die."
Diesel frowned and slouched over his chair.
"What power does she have?" I asked taking a small sip of my beer.
Diesels eyes turned defensive and he looked as if he was considering how much to tell me.
"Lets just say she has a very important power…..she can heal people almost automatically. Not only that but she has the ability to change her appearance by will. Like she can change the color of her hair or eyes, whether she wants thick or thin eyebrows, the length of her hair. Just small changes like that. Nothing major like color of her skin or how big her boobs are. Usually this is what she looks like."
At that Diesel pulled out a picture of a women with a startling beautiful face, her eyes were round and a bright vibrant green, her skin was pale and looked smooth as silk, she had red full pouty lips, and long black lash's. Not only that but she had straight long black hair.
The picture was a head shot but still I could tell her hair went past her shoulders, maybe even past mid-back. Though never the less she was pretty.
"Her name is Bailey, she's I think a year younger then me and by far has a better image. Bailey is known for her quick, discreet, smart methods. Although don't get me wrong she is also really stubborn not to mention hotheaded, but she's cool, her humor is dry and she has a very cynical sarcastic mannerism about her."
Diesel had a dazed look in his eyes as he talked about this girl and I had the feeling that maybe just maybe he might have some affection for Bailey.
"So why do you need me?"
I asked staring at her picture again.
Diesel shrugged.
"I have a feeling she'll come to you. And if she does I want you to call me."
He stood and stretched.
I nodded and went to put the beer cans away and when I turned around Diesel was gone. I sighed being alone again was nice, yet still I had been glad to know he was ok.
After cleaning up my apartment taking a shower and dressing in jeans, with a red flannel shirt. I went to feed Rex, I stuck a cracker in his bowl and watched as he shoved it into his cheek pouch and ran back into his soup can.
It was late fall here in Trenton and coming close to Halloween, the weather here in Trenton was alright although it was becoming colder so in order not be cold I slipped on my light boats and a light fall jacket.
I was locking up after myself when out of the elevator steps the girl from the picture, her eyes were averted down and she obviously had not noticed me yet.
I had found Bailey.
A/N: That turned out ok…..I think, I would like to know what you think? Was it good or bad? Please R&R and Thanx for reading again! And another reminder to please R&R!
