'Where is she,' Mick thought to himself as he rested up against a brick wall in an ally somewhere.'

The girl he planned on interviewing was over three hours late and nowhere in sight or smell for that matter. Her name was Heather and she was good friends with Summer, the first girl killed. She had said that she would meet him at midnight today and it was now 3:07 am.

'Josef had gotten something out of Lindsay, now why is it that the PI can't even get the girl to show up?'

From what Mick had heard through the grape vine she was the last known person to see Summer. But that had yet to be confirmed.

'Ok, that's it.'

Mick had always had patients; it was indeed one of his virtues. But enough was enough, three hours was just too much. But just as he was about to leave from his position on the cold brick wall, he heard foot steeps leading into the ally.

BUZZWIRE (Beth's Point Of View)

Even though I was re-reading what I was typing my mind seemed to take me to further places.
Even though I tried my hardest not to think about him, I did. And at the most inconvenient times.
It doesn't make any sense to me because I know that I loathe him and he me. But still I am more aware of the sound of his voice in my mind than what I'm writing.

"Beth,"

So here I am committed journalist Beth Turner thinking, no fantasizing about Josef Kostan.
A man I don't even have feelings for.
Reckless,ridicules,seriously stupid to say the least.

"Beth?"

"Oh yeah, hi Marisa Sorry about that."

"Beth are you OK?"

"Yeah fine, why?"

"I don't know it just seemed like you weren't you. So what's going on with you and Josh?"

"Nothing, things are fine." I replied quickly and defensively. From the look on her face, she wasn't even remotely convinced.

Hell if I was her I wouldn't have been either.The truth is that I don't even really know how things are with Josh any more, well sort of. I know that he's mad at me. And I know it's for leaving town to go to New York with Mick. But I'm clueless on where we stand as of now. But I knew that starring into nowhere wasn't going to help so, I responded.

"Well OK, maybe there not exactly fine."

"Is there someone else?"

"No, NO! Of course not! What made you think that?"

"I don't know, it's just that things don't seem to be the same with you two anymore." She said sitting down on Beth's desk

"How so?" Oh crap, maybe I don't want to hear this..

"Well like how you never talk about him anymore. Or how he never stops by, or how he never calls any more. Plus you two have been seeing each other for over a year and you don't even live together!"

"I know, but we have sleep-over's."

"You've told me that before."

"Where is this coming from, I thought you said we were 'fated'."
"Fate is fine but sometime the humans' got to step in and get serious." Then she just walked away.

Wow, that's the first time in a long time someone's ever said something like that to me. But I guess she's kind of right. I know I have to get serious, but how can I when all I can think about is Josef? Damn it Beth.

ALLY (Mick's Point Of View)



I started to walk away but then I heard faint footsteps so I stopped. Sure enough seconds later a small figure steeped out of the shadows of the dark ally.

"Hello, I know I'm late" Heather started before walking up to me and shaking my hand

"Hi I'm Mick. I'm investigating the murder of your friend Summer."

"So what do you want to know?"
