The Grimm life

By: Lilly Brinson

My parents have been missing for twenty years. The police told me and my aunt we should just give up. NO! Things grow really fast here, but it mostly rains twenty-four seven. Portland, look like a big forest. Portland is never busy, nothings happens. No crimes, No weddings, nothing. So i guess i have the most easiest job. But everything got alot weirder last week. My aunt died last week in a horrible car crash, two people died on the scene. I sadly was the detective on the scene. My name Nick. My age, 25. My home, Portland, Oregon. Things have gotten a bit stranger here like, missing people, car accidents, etc. the last my aunt told me was " you're a grimm now Nick, you must stay safe now. don't trust anyone now. call this person, make a meeting. goodbye nick" she told as if she knew she was gonna die that night. i called the number she told me to call and made an appointment. we met the next day. i didn't know what to expect, so i walked into vanessa's office a bit scared. the waiting room was weird, a bunch people, who practically looked upset or scared. " Nick? Vanessa's now ready to meet with you." a young lady spoke. i slowly got up from my seat and walked through the french doors. " Nick smoke? hello my name is Vanessa Lim." a old women spoke " umm... hi? so my aunt-" she cut me off " yes your aunt. Stephanie Smoke. her sister and husband went missing awhile ago. your mom was a grimm, so was your aunt too. your dad wasn't one though. it sometimes skips a generation, but it looks like it didn't skip you Nick. do you know what i am?" Vanessa explained. " no? sorry i don't really know anything about this grimm stuff.. do you hunt?" i asked her "oh Nick you should have never asked that question. i hunt grimm's, i don't exactly recall killing you parents. but maybe i should kill you so you can join them. okay lets get this started, just sit back and relax... this won't take long. ready? she said angrily " i don't know. may i just use the bathroom?" i asked her. " okay! but don't make this hard. p.s if your run away, don't do that i have a very strong scent of smell so i could smell you all the way from New York. down the hall." she said. i walked down the hall into the bathroom. i went into total panic mode and went crazy. going through drawers, looking in cabinets, than i saw a bottle of perfume. i sprayed it on. the brand was something from victoria secret. oh god! i quickly opened the window, put on my hood so it could cover my face. i also tuck my pants into my boots. i climbed out the window. but then i saw a sign.

WARNING: DO NOT LEAVE THIS PROPERTY WITHOUT SIGNING OUT!
well thats a bad sign! if i get caught i might lose my job! so i ran as fast as i could to my car, but while i was running i heard a crash. like a window breaking. great Vanessa probably knows i left. i just stood there as white as snow.
" ma'am? look, i know if you don't wanna show your face. But have you seen a middle aged man. with a green jacket? kinda like yours. where did your get yours?" Vanessa asked.
" i got my jacket at the north face store, okay? and no i havent seen a middle man. now can i please go? i have to get back to my job, before i get fired." i spoke as a young women.
" fine! jeez looks like someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed." Vanessa muttered.
i walked to my car, but it kinda turned into a run. i hopped into my two door, stix- shift
jeep. then i started racing down portland streets. see, in portland it doesn't matter how fast a detective go's. just as long they have their lights on. so i turned on mine, everyone started pulling over or getting out of my way. the all of a sudden my phone started ringing.

PART TWO:

HANK CUTTER/ PARTNER IN CRIME!
" hello?"
"hey Nick. where have you been? i called your girlfriend, but she said you weren't home. but she told me that you had a special appointment to go to. look if you're keeping secrets its fine. just give me heads up. btw where are you? Hank integrated.
" batam street. why?" I asked
" pull over, and look to your left. what do you see" Hank instructed me.
" i see your honda crx. is there a new crime scene?" I asked.
" see for yourself." then Hank hung up.
i hopped out of my jeep, grabbed a pair of glove and started walking towards the cops blocking the scene.
" what's up smoke?'" they both asked
" nothing" i responded.
they let me under the crime scene tape. i saw hank standing there, like he was waiting for me. Hank looked so sad, like he just got fried.
" young white girl. running i guess. she has a bunch of scratches on her arms and legs. looks like shes had a terrible fall. a few hikers found her and immediately called 911. chuck has be asking them questions like "where have you been?" and " do you know this young lady?" Hank explained.
" okay. is this girl still not identified?" i asked
" her name is Katy Williams. college student, her parents have been contacted but no response yet. she is really from texas-" hank started something but he got a phone call.
I walked away from him. and went towards the girls body. poor girl. if I started this with all the grimm stuff, i should be locked up. But when I took a closer look, her face changed into something, something so horrid.
" captain wants you back at the station smoke!" Hank yelled
' okay!" I yelled back
I slowly walked away from the crime and headed towards my jeep. the police station isn't too far from batam street. i arrived at the station in less than 20 minutes. I walked to captains office.
" Nick, we have to talk." my captain said.
My captain is a very strong man. He's very young to be a Captain, 32 years old and married. his name is Shaun Griffin. He's like 5'10. Also he's a very quiet man, barely speaks. He hates the press.
" yes captain" I spoke up.
" I just got a call from a woman named Vanessa Lim, suppose you know her. but anyway she told me that it was a bad idea for escaping; look if you want me to send protection to your house i will. but nick i think you should take a vacation for awhile with your girlfriend juliette. you know what yep, you are now on vacation as we speak." Shaun spoke softly.
" okay but-" i tried to finish
" no buts! go home. go somewhere. here you're now what my aunt gave me two plane tickets to go to hawaii, they're about to expire like next month. Here take them, its a wonderful place to propose to juli. here Nick now go home." shaun explained.
" thank you so much captain. i owe you one. and please may i have the protection?" i asked
" yeah. you're welcome. i'm going to send Rob and Bill. okay?" shaun said.
" Yep, that's fine. bye and thanks." i said.

PART THREE:

I arrived at my house in half an hour. gave Rob and Bill a nod. I walked up my steps and opened my front door.
" Jules i'm home and i have a big surprise for you. take a guess. imagine a nice wonderful vacation." i hollered.
Juliette has been my girlfriend for two years now and i've been thinking about proposing to her, but i haven't found the right time to do so. She is a beautiful brunette and 25 years old. She is a wonderful doctor and she never makes mistakes.
" okay hon! I'll be down in a sec!" her soft voice echoed.
"okay." i said.
i headed to the kitchen and automaticly smelled Juliette's wonderful cooking.
' hey hon! how was work? and what is my surprise?" juliette questioned.
" good and you know shaun? my captain.. well i guess his aunt gave him two plane tickets to Hawaii, but i guess he didn't wanna go. so he gave them to me." i explained
she smiled so brightly, she looked like a little girl.
" what oh my god! i must start packing! Nick this is wonderful news. oh my god! i love you so much! when are we leaving?" juliette said excitedly.
" tomorrow night. is that fine?" i asked.
" yes. That's perfect! okay after dinner i'm gonna pack." juliette said
" okay, well lets get this meal on the road." i said.
We ate dinner, pasta and sausage. then after dinner we starting packing for Hawaii. i packed shorts, shirts, shoes, sunglasses, and the ring i want to propose to Juliette with.
" oh no!" Juliette screamed.
" What happened?" i ran up the stairs.
" i can't find my bathing suit! i swear i just saw it" juliette explained.
" look, i'll help you find it. Where was the last place you saw it?" i asked.
" in the closet. it's my purple and green bikini." juliette said.
" okay is this it?" it was under the bed." i explained.
" yeah! thanks." juliette said in joy.
The next day we arrived at the airport at five o'clock. we hopped on to the plane and as soon as i sat down a flight attendant came up to me.
" hello nick!" vanessa said
OH NO! HOW DID SHE FIND ME? WELL LET THE GRIMM GAMES BEGIN.!
