Owen
Monday

"God the Welsh are rude drivers" Owen thought to himself as a red Peugeot 206 pulled out in front of his blue Honda S2000 just before the multi-story car park in Cardiff Bay. Although he had clearance to park right on the bay Owen quite fancied the walk from the multi-story to the hub. He would have told himself it was so he could enjoy the fresh air but Owen couldn't really enjoy the fresh air anymore on account of him being dead. "Funny the things you miss" Owen mused to himself grabbing his work bag off the passenger seat and locking his car up. As he exited the car park and crossed the road Owen checked his phone. 2 new messages displayed on his phone behind the screensaver of Cheryl Cole he had taken from a recent photoshoot he'd found online and bluetoothed the picture to his phone. He opened up the messages menu and see two new text messages in his inbox waiting to be opened. One from Tosh and one from Tina. Owen opened the message from Tina.

"Why haven't you called me back? 3 weeks and nothing! I thought we had a good thing going?! Call me soon! Tina xxx"

Owen hit reply:

"Sorry Tina, Owen Harper is dead. All the best for the future. O"

The reply from Tina came back as quick as a flash:

"FUCK YOURSELF!"

"I would if I had a blood supply" Owen joked to himself but thought better of sending that back as a reply. Owen had to smile to himself though, 3 weeks ago all Owen really cared about outside of work was his little black book and what the latest score was on bed post notches, but at this moment in time he couldn't care less to be honest. Although he would have been lying to himself if he pretended he didn't miss shagging. Owen glanced back down at his phone and opened Tosh's message:

"Owen, heads up, Jack is pissed you're 15 mins late. He has an autopsy for you to perform he's waiting on. See you soon, Toshiko xx"

"Shit!" Owen thought to himself has hit reply:

"Cheers for the heads up Tosh. Be there in 5"

Owen took a long look out over the bay. "Just another day in the death of Owen Harper" he said to himself out loud as he started jogging towards the hub.
