Auron trudged into his office.
"Good Morning, Auron!" His bubbly secretary, Chloe greeted him, smiling cheerfully, as usual. Auron nodded back curtly. He was not in the mood for cheerfulness. Scowling, he stormed into his personal room. He slammed the door and sat down at his desk, rubbing his throbbing temples.
His insomnia was really making his life terrible. I wish I hadn't taken on that last case. It was really stressful. His last case was bad, but he took it on to do his superior a favour.
Auron was merely 29, but looked a little over 35. He had a scar on his right eye which was caused by a freak accident, involving cars, petrol and a gang. The scar was like a sort of retribution. His work took a lot out of him too, causing him sleeplessness on some nights and too much on others.
The end result? A tired, grumpy 29 year old with the looks of a 45 year old. OK.. so I am exaggerating a little, but he did look older than his real age. Now, I am not saying he was bad-looking. In fact, he is quite handsome, in a rugged sort of way. He had a masculine frame and strong features, and his scar was quite attractive too, in an unusual sort of way.
There was a soft knock on his door. "Come in," he grunted, annoyed. He had a terrible headache.
Chloe walked in cautiously. She knew better than to disturb her boss when he was in a bad mood. This 30 year old wasn't as dumb as she looked, with her black her and brown eyes. She was married and had a small boy, Christopher, who was 5 years old. Her husband had the same temperament as Auron, so you could say that she has had experience with grumpy men.
"Mr Aiden told me to give these to you. He said these were very important. Oh yes, meet him for lunch later." She then stepped out of the room.
Auron growled. Gareth Aiden was head of the police force and owner of this detective firm. In fact, Gareth was the one who made Auron solve the case which was the cause of his insomnia. He was not more than 10 years older than Auron but was already considered one of the best policemen around.
Gareth was 39, married and happy. He had 2 kids – A girl and a boy. His wife, Laura was 37, and was a sweet woman. She had rosy cheeks, soft brown hair and almond shaped blue eyes. She was very pretty in a unique sense and was always cheerful, even in times of danger. She had a beautiful smile and bright, twinkly eyes which always shone with happiness.
Gareth himself wasn't all that ugly. With his youthful face and boyish looks, he looked years younger than he real age. His two kids were a spitting image of him. His girl, Lorelei, was 9 while his son, Lance was 8. They were a perfect example of a perfect, happy family. Auron could not help but envy them sometimes.
I mean. Who wouldn't? He turned his thoughts to the thick Chloe had left on his desk. It was filled to the brim with tons of envelopes, pictures, newspaper clippings, profiles and other information.
I have a feeling this is going to be a really long day. He sighed.
