Chapter 2
2 weeks later
I sighed as I sat at a stool at the bar in the local towns pub as I took long and slow sips from my bottle of beer that I had just ordered about 30 minutes ago.
It has been about 2 weeks when I woke up in summer's cabin and about two weeks since I walked into this fishing town as I quickly found myself employed when I walked into the local sheriff's office as he apparently needed a new deputy as his last one was just transferred over to vale as he was given a promotion into entering from deputy to huntsmen in training.
Which made the position for deputy very empty so when I walked in I was surprised as the first thing the sheriff said was your hired and gave me the instant run down of what was what and gave me a gun and belt and badge and the keys to the apartment that was upstairs of the sheriffs office.
And when I asked of what the hell just happened he just told me that he said he would deputise the next guy who walked in through his doors just five minutes ago no matter who or what, so yeah I got a job and it was very quick.
After that little thing, he then told me to take off my hoody and put the trench coat on the coat hanger which I did after I put my I guess new belt holster on around my waist while I felt the weight of my brand new gun on my right while I slipped the old brown leather and smelly coat on with the deputy badge already on my right breast pocket where everyone can see it.
He then proceeded to give me the rundown of his name the village and what I would be technically doing, which was simple
Keep the peace
and
Kill the grimm
Easy words to follow even when I told him that I wouldn't be very good at shooting or fighting, but he just said to not worry about it as he would take the weekend to train me a bit in the shooting and fighting aspect of the job, but for now looking the part and a bit of acting was good enough to keep the peace.
Well I wished he told me after my little bar fight that I was in the middle of last week as I got a bottle or two cracked upside my head as I tried to calm down the local patrons but instead he told me I should of just pulled my gun and fired at the roof as that would of stopped the fight from even escalating.
So after another crash course of what to do with another bar fight, I pulled out my gun and everyone got quiet as I proceeded to throw out the two pricks who started the fight as everyone went back to drinking and having a good time and I got my first taste of the locally brewed beer, as a gift which I took with a politeness as I drank it and I admit it was pretty good but I made sure that was my only drink of the night.
And well the week was gone and I got my firearms training and my hand to hand from both the sheriff and the local retied huntress as she was teaching me how to fight and I mean fight dirty, which would have been nice know before if I didn't get my dick kicked every damn time we start the training.
That Bloody damn woman just loves to be a bloody ball buster.
So once again after a long day of patrols and helping some people with their daily problems and keeping the peace I was here taking my time drinking my local brewed bottle of beer as I thought about the day and summer, ok maybe just mostly summer but come on who wouldn't want to think about their girlfriend, even after not seeing them for two weeks…..I should really take some time to visit her.
"well aren't you down in the dumps whats up dep?" I heard as I looked up at the local bartender Richard fungus, don't let the name fool ya hes a nice guy and we call him Richie, he was about my height but shorter by about an inch as im about 6'2, he had black hair with a green like streak highlight as he wore a pair of black aviators and bartenders clothes.
"nothing much Richie" I said with a sigh as he chuckled at me
"so you say but that sigh says otherwise, come on tell old richie whats up?" he asked as I looked at him with a raised eye brow
"dude your about my age how the fuck are you that old?" I asked as it was true he was only like 20 years old and im 19 how the hell was he that old
"oh come on your clearly changing the subject so it must be because a certain lady eh?" he asked as he motioned his head behind me as I looked behind me as I saw that he was directing towards the waitress lyra killheart
Lyra was at best one of the hottest girls on the entire island despite being a faunas, she stood about 3 inchs shorter than me as she had long straight dark silver hair as she had a pair of grey wolf ears on her head as she had the body that any girl would literally kill for and her eyes were a piercing golden yellow as her smile and eyes could catch any guy she fancied
Unfortunately im the one she fancied
"uh yeah first im not interested and second I already have someone" I said as I looked back at Richie as he just continued to give me his cocky little grin
"oh come on man your lying, your interested in the wolf I mean I don't blame you, who isnt?" Richie asked rhetorically as I just pulled my hand up
"I am" I said as he just shook his head
"come on man how about you take a chance with her, you never know she could rock your world" he said as I sighed and let my head hit the bar with a small thud as I groaned in annoyance
"come on leave the boy alone Richie" I heard as I turned my head as I watched as the sheriff sat next to me as he gave me a grin
The sheriff or jet blanc as he is called is an old man looking around about in his mid 30's as he had short black hair with white patches as it looked like he was the opposite of a Dalmatian with a black goatee on his face as he looked like he'd seen some pretty fucked up shit, he stood about 6'4 as his was pretty big and wore the casual cow boy clothes that included a black trench coat, cowboy boots, black jeans, white dress shirt under a black waist coat and a black cowboy hat, with the addition of wearing a casual pair of black armoured gloves over his hands.
"why hello sheriff the usual then?" Richie asked as sheriff nodded
"yeah Richie, so Hamish got some lady problems ey?" he asked as I groaned and picked my bottle up with my left hand
"shut up" I said as I quickly downed the rest of my bottle as I slammed the bottle back down with a clack as Richie handed sheriff his glass of whiskey
"well im just here to tell you someone just came in with a missing persons report and wants us to get on it now" he said as I watched as he took a sip of his glass as I sighed
"alright then any more info on this missing person?" I asked as he shook his head
"nah she wouldn't give me anything so I thought you could go over and well smooth talk her a bit in getting something out of her" he said as I just froze and slowly turned to him with wide eyes as his grin was the most prominent thing on his face
"alright fine put it on my tab will ya Richie?" I asked as he nodded and I stood up as I tucked my hands into my coats pockets and walked my way out
"oh are you leaving dep?" lyra asked as I nodded
"yep probably be seeing ya later" I said as I moved to go past her but she stopped me as she grabbed my hand and pulled me back
"oh I hope you come back safetly, I mean I don't know what I would do if you died out there" she said dramatically as I just gave her a deadpanned stare
"you would carry on serving people, duh I mean its your job and all" I said blankly as she let go of my hand with wide shocked eyes as I turned back and carried on my way out.
I smirked as I heard sheriffs laugh as soon as I left with a chuckle as I had once again rejected lyras advances once again and succeeded with leaving her speechless
Honestly if I was to be honest if I wasn't dating summer I would have been all over her, but im with summer so yeah no I don't cheat especially if I actually have an actual real chance at something serious, which I believe I do.
So with that in mind my walk to the sheriff's office/my apartment was filled with a smile as everyone who passed me either looked at me weirdly as I was smiling or were smiling back at me.
"uh deputy your looking mighty happy today" I heard as I turned to voice as I saw the local general store owner mr opal an old bif bellied man with an awesome beard as he had a white dress shirt brown suspenders and black trousers as well as brown boots on.
"hey mr opal im just heading over back to the office for a bit" I said as he nodded with a smile
"well ok then I heard theres been a bit of activity lately out in those woods so I wouldn't be surprised if you get anyone coming asking for a little of an extermination if you know what I mean" he said as I nodded in understanding
"I'll be sure to take a little caution if I do have to but for now I best be going now mr opal I got a suspect to talk to about a missing persons" I said as he nodded
"well then I will let go and do your job then young man" he said as I waved at him and made my way back as my smile kind of lessened at the thought of exterminating grimm, easy to kill sheriff said but their resistant little things he also said, I never saw a grimm and I really didn't plan to, but as I said before to summer, I was going to let these chips of mine fall where they may be so there will be a pretty big chance im going to see grimm sooner than later.
With that grim thought I walked into the office with a blank look as I had someone to interrogate for more information.
The office itself was not that big as it held just an office on one side, a waiting room on the other and the cells at the far end of the building, my apartment was as I said upstairs so I was pretty close to the office if anything really went down and someone needed help.
I walked into the office side of the building as I walked past the two desks with computers and paper work, well not really considering the only paper work we get is 'what would you do with a dead body' questions sent to us from vale's police department just to say that they are getting more action then us and we are basically country bumpkins and we apparently don't know anything about real policing so with that I just grabbed a box filled it with the papers and dumped a mouldy ass piece of cheese and sent it back to them.
Sheriff couldn't breath from laughing so much when he got their instant reply in the week after of me sending them cheese with a small note saying "by covering it in cheese" turned out that was not a very stable answer as they started asking where would we get the right amount of cheese to cover a human body in the first place? and when the sheriff asked me that, I just said "who the fuck do I look like, A cheese scientist?" after that I had to call the local doctor to help the sheriff as he had just past out from laughing too much
That was by the way an interesting way on how to start the Monday.
I sighed as I walked over to the waiting room as I blinked as I saw the familiar face of summer as she wore a white hooded cloak as she looked like she had been crying, oooooooh I think I know whos missing, wow I really should of visited her early man why did I have to be such a freaking asshole, sigh time to face the music
"well whats a pretty little thing like you doing here?" I asked out loud as I watched as summers head bolted up as her eyes widen when she saw me
"h-Hamish?" she asked as I held my hands out
"the one and only" I said as I watched as she bolted from her seat and slammed into me as I stepped back just so I didn't fall over and felt her arms quickly wrapped themselves around my neck as she slammed her lips into mine.
Wow yep im a complete asshole for leaving her
I quickly wrapped my arms around her waist as I pushed into the sudden kiss as we then parted and she looked at me with a sad face and then slowly let go as I gave her a toothy grin
*SLAP*
"OW!" I yelled in shock and sudden pain as I felt my cheek sting in sudden pain as I let go of summer and grabbed my cheek in shock
"where the hell have you been!?" she yelled at me as I blinked as summer glared at me, great shes pissed
"uh here" I said as she pointed at me
"I have been looking all over you for the last two weeks and here you are" she said as I blinked as she just looked even more pissed
"do you know how worried I was when you didn't come back?" she asked as tears slowly started to appear as I felt really really guilty
"look summer I-im sorry for not coming back" I started but she stopped as she grabbed the back of my head and pulled me in
"I don't give a damn any more your alive and ok and im happy" she said as she pecked my lips with a smile on her face, I couldn't help but smile back at her
"ahem I expected you to interrogate her deputy not make out with her" I stood up straight from the sudden thick voice as I turned to see a smirking face of sheriff as he walked in.
"well I uh looks like we don't need to do that missing persons thing sheriff I uh found the person that was missing" I said as he nodded
"I see that you did and while it is quite the find I do believe I have the right to know who exactly this woman is to you my subordinate" he asked as I gave a sheepish grin
"uh sheriff meet my girlfriend summer, summer meet my boss/mentor" I said as summer waved at him
"uh hi sheriff" she said as sheriff nodded
"well miss summer as my deputy has found your missing person I do believe you should pay my subordinate a fee of maybe dinner" sheriff said as my eyes widened as she looked up at me and hugged me
"I think that would be perfect sir" she said as I couldn't help but feel happy as well
"well then get going I got some paperwork to finish" sheriff said as he walked past us as I smiled at summer and held her hand as she smiled back at me
"come on I know I great fish and chip shop near by great prices and food" I said as she giggled at me as I quickly took her out as I couldn't help but smile.
