Grell Sutcliff awoke on a sunny Tuesday morning to notice that his girlfriend Robyn who had stayed the night, was not asleep beside him. He stared at the empty half of the bed with a confused look on his face.
"Hmmn.." He thought, sitting up and rubbing his eyes. "Strange..." It wasn't at all like Robyn to leave the room like that. He was used to the girl wandering off during the day, since she did it quite a lot, usually because she was out finding something to suprise him with. But she never left in the middle of the night. This didnt make sense at all. Did we have an arguement? He thought to himself, scratching his head. If they did have an arguement, that would explain why Robyn wouldn't be there, but he was sure that they didn't. Things had been going well last night.
"Now let me think.."He said to himself tapping his chin with his index finger. "After a long day at work, we came back here and had a little fun" He giggled at memories of last night. "Then we went to sleep..." After a while of pondering and thinking about where she could be, Grell decided to just get up and get ready for work. Maybe the girl would be around the Shingami Dispatch somewhere. Grell got dressed, sorted out his hair and makeup and grabbed his death scythe as he walked out the door. He closed the door behind his as he left and made his way down the corridors. As he walked down the corridors, he checked Robyns room to see if she was there. He opened the door slowly and poked his head inside.
"Binny..." He called. "Are you in here?" Grell looked around the room. She wasnt there and by the looks of things, she hadnt been there that morning. Her precious dark green cape was still sprawled over the wooden chair next to her wardrobe and her sword-like death scythe was laid down beside it. The raven haired girl never went anywhere without her cape or her death scythe. Grell began to worry. This was very strange indeed, she had just dissapeared.
"Where the hell has she gone?" He screached frustratingly.
"Lost her again?" Came a gritty voice from behind. Grell turned around to see Eric Slingby stood there with a smug look on his face and his arms folded. Alan Humphries was stood next to him and currently nudging at Erics arm as if to say Don't cause trouble!
"Oh it's you Eric.." Grell mumbled miserably. Eric ignored Grell and continued.
"You know you should keep a leash on that girl Sutcliff.." He chuckled smugly. Grell scowled.
"How do you know were talking about the same girl Eric? " He snapped sarcastically.
"Oh cmon Sutcliff..." Eric chuckled. "The girl ALWAYS goes missing!" He sniggered and grinned. "We all know Blackmore has a tendancy to wander off unexpectedly." Alan nudged Eric again, this time a lot harder.
"But she never leaves my room in the middle of the night without any of her stuff Eric!" Grell whined miserably, a concerned look appearing on his face. Alan half smiled sympathetically at Grell.
"I'm sure she'll turn up Grell..." He said softly. "Maybe she just woke up early for work and didn't want to wake you.."
"TSK! Yeah right!" Eric guffawed. "That girl is just as alergic to work as he is!" He said sarcastically, pointing towards Grell.
"Eric!" Alan snapped. "Don't be so mean!" Grell frowned and looked down at the floor. He didn't have time to retaliate. If he wasn't so miserable, Eric would be in a LOT of trouble, but he just didn't see the point of making himself even more miserable.
"Um..Grell.." Alan said softly. Grell looked towards Alan. "If you are that worried, me and Eric will look for her while were at work..." Eric jumped in suprise of what Alan just got him into. He glared at Alan. "Right?" Alan asked with a serious look on his face. Eric sighed and nodded.
"Yes, right Alan.." He said folding his arms with a pouty look on his face. Grell smiled thankfully.
"Thank you..." He said in a gratefully. Alan smiled and Eric just grunted and looked away grouchilly.
"Well we better get going then Alan.." Eric grumbled, grasping Alan's arm and tugging him allong.
"Ok ok Eric!" He whined, since the tugging was a little rough than usual. "See you later Grell." Grell nodded and watched as the two left. He didn't find it suprising over how the two had acted. Eric always made fun of a bad situation and Alan always tried to make things better, even if it was Eric's fault in the first place. After a while of standing in the same spot and thinking over and over where Robyn could be. Grell decided maybe the best thing to do was just wait a while to see if she turns up, so to cheer himself up, he would go and see his younger sister Scarlet. He turned on his heel and strolled down the corridors. To his suprise, he could not find Scarlet either. She wasn't in her room and nodoby that he asked had seen her since last night. After not being able to find her, he decided to check William T spears office. He knew that the red headed girl was usually in Williams office this time of day. As he reached the office, Grell opened the handle of the door and walked in.
"Hello Willy!" He called out in a musical tone. William grunted. "Hello Scar-" Grell looked around the room for the red headed girl. "Where's Scarlet?" He asked. William sighed as if that was a stupid question and adjusted his glasses.
"How should I know Sutcliff?" He snapped. Grell jumped in suprise.
"Whats wrong with you Willy?" Grell whimpered. "She's your girlfriend..."
"Not anymore!" William snapped.
"Y-your not?" Grell stuttered in suprise.
"No Sutcliff!" He groaned angrilly. "Not for over two weeks!" Grell's eyes widened. They had broken up two weeks ago and Scarlet didn't tell me? Her own brother?
"But..." Grell said miserably. "Why didn't you-"
"Tell you?" William interrupted. "Honestly." He muttered. "Since I got into a relationship with ...her...You haven't been constantly chasing me around like a lost puppy...disturbing my work. Do you think Id ruin the chance of having two weeks more without your company by telling you my personal business?" Grell felt hurt by what William said, his lip quivvered.
"Willy your so cold!" He whimpered, making William roll his eyes.
"What did you want in the first place Sutcliff?" William groaned.
"I wanted to ask Scarlet to help me look for my Binny."
"Look for Blackmore?" William asked, Grell nodded.
"I woke up this morning to notice that she wasn't sleeping next to me." Grell explained. "And I haven't seen her all morning."
"I see... But was asking Miss Sutcliff the best idea?" William asked, raising one eyebrow. Grell sighed. It was true wasnt the best idea, since the two girls hated each other. It wasn't known why they hated each other, nobody bothered to ask just incase they got their head bit off by one of them.
"I guess not..." He muttered. "But anyway, I went looking for Scarlet and shes missing too. I thought she might be here and thats how I ended up in your office..." William looked down at his desk, tapping his pen on the table with the flick of his wrist. "Willy Iv'e looked everywhere for them! Im worried!" Grell whimpered. William adjusted his glasses again and sighed.
"Strange..." He muttered. "But what do you expect me to do Sutcliff?"
"Isn't it your job to ensure the wellfare of your dispatchers?" Grell asked scowling.
"Yes but-"
"So you should be out looking for them!" Grell snapped, clenching his fists. William groaned and stood up from his seat.
"Annoyingly, you are correct Sutcliff." He said, rubbing the bridge of his nose.
"So you are going to help?" Grell asked eagerly.
"Only because it is my duty Sutcliff..." Grell didn't mind if he did it for his sake or because he actually cared, he was just glad he had someone to help him.
