Chapter One: First Year Anniversary
"Alan! I'm home!" shouted Brianna Lyn Smith, coming through the front door. She took off her coat and put it on the coat hanger. She was wearing a black skirt that came around to her knees and a white, dressy shirt. She took off her high heels and went into the living room. Her husband, Alan "Squid" Smith, was sitting at his desk writing somethng down.
"Oh hey," he said, feeling two arms wrap around his neck.
"Whatcha doin'?" she asked.
"Writing my report for my boss at the marine life station."
"Oh."
Squid spun around his chair to face Brianna. She let go off him. "What have YOU been doin'?" he asked her. She smiled.
"I closed another case."
"Which one?"
"Y'know which one. It's about that child abuse case I was workin' on day and night. I'm always a sucker for those types of cases. That boy was hurt terribly," Brianna explained as she leaned againest the wall, eyeing Squid out of the corner of her eye.
"OH yeah," Squid said, digging through his mess of a desk. "You got some mail today." He handed Brianna four envelops and she rolled her eyes. She walked into the living room and turned on the light.
"SURPRISE!" shouted Brianna and Squid's friends in the living room. It was all decorated. Brianna about died.
"Happy anniversary! Ya made it through the first year!" said Shaily, hugging Brianna. Shaily had married Zig Zag about three years ago. They were awaiting their first child. It was going to be born in about four omre months. Shaily had become a fashion designer for her own line of cloths.
"I can't believe you made it through!" Susan squealed out, happily. Susan and Magnet were still engaged. They have been for about four years. They didn't think they were ready for marriage yet. Susan had become a drama teacher for the local high school.
"Man! You really surprised me Bri!" Michelle said hugging Brianna tightly after Shaily had let go. MIchelle and Twitch had been married only three months now. Michelle became a police officer (omg!).
"You guys! I swear!" Brianna said laughing. "Girls, did you plan this?"
"Nope," chorused her friends.
"Then who did?"
She suddenly felt two arms wrap around her waist. She turned and saw Squid. He whispered, "I did." She laughed again and he smiled.
The party went on for hours. It was about eleven o'clock at night when the last people, Shaily and Zig Zag, lef the party. Brianna collasped onto the couch and was laying her head on Squid's lap. She had the four envelops in her hand. "Junk, ooh! This one's from Jason, and Oh! Here's one from Tracy!" Brianna said, giggling. She read Tracy's letter first. All she talked about was that Tracy had gotten her first murder case. Brianna was happy for her. As soon as she finished Tracy she opened Jason's.
"SO what does your lil brother gotta say now?" asked Squid. Brianna shot up form her position laying on Squid's lap. She gasped and turned torward Squid. "What honey?" he asked her.
"This isn't from Jason..."
"What?"
"Jason writes a lot neater than this and besides the person wrote that they kidnapped Jason!" Brianna exclaimed. Squid stared at her looking shocked. "I know. They also said Reese was killed... This can't be true...!" Brianna had gotten off the couch and started pacing. "We gotta get to New Orleans! I've gotta see if this is true!" Brianna shouted as she paced. Squid got up and stopped her.
"Alright. I'll try and find a plane that's heading for New Orleans. Alright?" he whispered. "Right now I want you to calm down. This is our first anniversary."
Brianna sighed, "I'm sorry honey... I'm ruining our first anniversary..."
"It's not yer fault sweetie," whispered Squid in her ear. She smiled.
"Thanks," whispered Brianna. He kissed her quickly on the cheek.
"No problem," Squid said softly.
She turned around and stared into those pair of brown eyes that she had grown to love. She ran her fingers through the mop of brown hair on his head. Brianna leaned into Squid as did he. Their lips met until...
KNOCK KNOCK!
Squid broke the kiss and glared at the door. Brianna was laughing. Squid answered the door and found Sherri with her fiancee at the door. "What?" he hissed.
"Oh! Sorry! Did we ruin anything?" asked Sherri. Squid slapped his forehead. "But I left my purse here at the party.. Heehee." Squid let Sherri get her purse. He turned to Brad.
"Sorry about comin' at the wrong time, Alan," said Brad.
"It's alright," Squid muttered although it actually wasn't with him. Soon Sherri went through the door with her purse. "Bye," Squid muttered as he shut the door.
"Alan!" shouted Brianna.
"What?"
"Did you just slam that door in their faces?"
"No! Of course not!" Squid lied. Brianna was yawning. "Are ya tired?" She nodded.
"That case and then this party... Man... I'm worn out. I'm going to bed," Brianna said going off the the bedroom. She shut the door in Squid's face. "No!" she said firmly.
"Damn!" Squid said snapping his fingers.
Brianna changed into one of her silky, white nightgown. She put her other clothes into her hamper and opened the door. Squid came into the room and Brianna collasped face first onto the bed. She had her face buried into her pillow. Squid quickly changed into his pajamas and got down beside Brianna. "What's wrong?" he asked her.
"Tired."
"Tired?"
"Yeah," Brianna yawned. "Tired."
Squid kissed his wife goodnight and reached to turn the light off. When he had, he turned on his side to go to sleep. Brianna had fallen asleep the moment right after he kissed her good night. She was very tired. She hadn't gotten any sleep for days because of the trial. Squid was thinking maybe she should have some time off.
* The Next Day *
It was about four o'clock in the afternoon when Brianna came home. "Alan! I'm back!" There was no answer. She went into the kitchen and found a note. SHe read it, "Emergancey at the marine life station. I'll be home around ten. Love you. Save me some dinner this time." She started laughing. Brianna put her briefcase down onto the kitchen table and found Squid had put out the mail for her.
She smiled as she shuffled through them. "Junk... Junk... Junk..." she said throwing the junkmail into the garbage. "Alan... Alan... Me.... Me..? New Orleans Police Department? What the hell?" Brianna said as she put the other envelops down. The second letter that was for her was from the NOPD? She opened the letter. She only had to read one line before throwing it down. The first line had said:
"Dear Mrs. Brianna Lyn Smith, We regret to inform you of the death of one, Reese Lee Walters."
