Chapter Three:

"There's
a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a
stairway to heaven.
When she gets there she knows, if the stores
are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for.
Ooh,
ooh, and she's buying a stairway to heaven."

One Week Later. Last case is finished, new case being explained.
"People! We have a new case to discuss! Boardroom, now." James' boss barked out. His employees filed into the boardroom and took seats.
"Alright, we have a new case. There seems to be a serial killer on the loose. He's going around, killing various people; all are dead in their houses. We need to get this guy asap."
"Sir, is there anything re-occurring about the people he murders?" Lily asked.
"He always seems to leave a dead rose or rose petals around the bodies."
"Is he using any unforgivables besides the death curse?" another employee asked.
"Mostly just the death curse, although a few people look like they were tortured beforehand. We already have a shot of him from a distance." The boss said, nodding towards the projection wall.
James turned to one of his co-workers. "Cass, do you think you could zoom that in?"
"Sure thing." Cassie flicked her wand and the picture zoomed in so they got a close-up of his face.
"Ok, we need to find this guy." James said. "Jack and Sean, you guys go and ask around the usual areas. I'll take this to the lab to see if they can get me fingerprints on him. Lily, Greg, go check with our informants. The rest of you, see what you can dig up. Get on it everyone."
As James was leaving the room, his boss came up to him.
"You're doing very well James, good leadership skills. If you do well on this case, maybe that promotion wont be far away. And we'll just forget about the little misinformation mishap the other day, shall we?"
James grinned, "Thank you very much sir. I'll do my best on this case."
"Very good. Please continue."
Two Days Later
"So we know where he's gonna be, but if we try and get him all at once he's gonna disapparate. We'll need someone undercover." James said. They were in the boardroom again. They now knew who and where the guy was, but they needed a way to get him without him getting away.
"Excellent James." His boss said. "Now where will he be?"
"Well, apparently his love life hasn't been working out well lately because he'll be at a Seminar in Paris on how to find your soul mate." James replied. That got a chuckle from a few of his co-workers.
"Alright, Miss Evans, you'll go undercover as a journalist doing an article on this Seminar, and James, you'll go along as her body guard and if people ask what you're doing, you can be her photographer. Good luck, you leave tomorrow."
Lily and James looked at each other, and then at the boss, then back at each other. They both began protesting at once.
"Oh no sir, that's not a good idea…"
"We don't work well together, we'll screw everything up…."
"…a really bad idea, honestly….."
" …we'll ruin the entire case and-"
"Silence! That's nonsense! You'll do fine! Now go home and pack, you're both going to Paris tomorrow."
A/N: Well, that was chapter 3. I didn't think it was that long, but I guess its still pretty short. Anyways, chapter 4 will be along shortly, not that anyone cares. xoxoxo, -ali
