So, this was originally posted in about 8 chapters, but I decided to clump this illogical mess into one story. I'm still working on it, and you'll just have to be patient. Sorry if I offend you. I like gay people, I like religious people. Don't shoot me!
The Day We Died
Bobby
"NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOO!" I
heard myself scream even before my
brain processed what was
happening. Mark, our suspect had stolen
thousands of dollars in
jeweler and now his partner was dead. He
had done it. The case was
almost too easy. That was before he pulled
a gun out.
As he
fired Alex tried to pull out her own gun when I did, but
we were
both to slow. I watched Alex fall as a splatter of blood hit
the
wall. That was when I screamed.
Alex
It's a weird
feeling dying. Sounds fade in and out, and the only
thing you can
see are bright, vivid blurs of color. Death wasn't
painful. It was
peaceful and oddly calming. My thoughts were dragged
back to the
world as I heard Bobby scream. That was when my thoughts
took a
turn for the worse.
If Bobby was screaming then he was probably
down too. There are
two things you do not want to be your last
thoughts. One, did I feed
the dog, and two, did my best friend
die?

I got the call about Robert and
Alexandra at 2:30. I arrived at
the scene at 2:38. When you get a
phone call telling you that your
two best detectives were just
killed you get there fast because you
want to beat the crap out of
the guy that did it. Sadly, the other
cops got that pleasure.
When
I got there Robert was the first one I saw. He'd been shot
in the
chest. I only noticed were Alexandra was when I saw her hand
on
Robert's arm. She was curled in his arms and the bullet hole
was
barely visible under her hair. He was always protective of
her. Every
time they went undercover he would always fret over her
safety.
Sometimes I thought he loved her.
I talked to the other
cops on the scene. Alexandra had been shot
first, and Robert had
been shot when he ran to her. That's Robert.
Get himself killed
just to save her. He probably wanted to die when
she was shot.
That's the worst thing about Alexandra. I don't think
she ever
realized how much she meant to Robert. Mark was in custody
and now
facing three counts of murder. Thank God.
Speaking of God
Alex looked around. How the Hell did she end up at a
hotel? She
had been shot and ...Holy Shit! Alex grabbed her head.
Sure enough
her fingers passed over a small hole in her left
temple, and she ran
past everyone towards the restroom.
When
she looked in the mirror she saw the hole in her head
surrounded
by a little blood. She rinsed it off. Then she noticed the
rest of
the blood. Her clothes were stiff and blood stained and her
eyes
darted back to the mirror. That was when Alex realized she
was
dead.
Glancing around she saw a very large hand dryer
thingy. However,
the sign said Blood-Be-Gone. She pressed the
green button. Whoosh!
She looked down at herself. The blood was
gone. She ran out of the
rest room and only six feet out of the
door she ran into a very
familiar and very comforting person.
Bobby wrapped his arms around
her and sighed. He muttered into her
hair.
"Alex. Oh God. Alex, are we-"
She looked up at
him. "Yes Bobby, we're dead."
"Where the Hell are
we?" As Alex opened up her mouth to speak a
small, winged
being flew up to them.
"You must be new arrivals. Welcome to
the Middle Hotel. This is
where you will stay until you're called
to the weight room, and it is
determined where you will reside for
the rest of eternity." The
flying thing led them to the lobby
and pointed toward the counter
where there were different signs.
"Please choose the appropriate
line, and enjoy your stay
here." As it flew off Bobby tightened his
grip on Alex's
waist.
"Well, that was strange," she said glancing up at
him. She
frowned. "What's wrong?"
"We're dead."
Alex nodded. "I just can't believe we're actually
dead."
Alex stood on her toes and kissed his cheek. He looked down at
her
as she wrapped her arms around his waste and hugged him
tightly.
Bobby smiled and held her close.
"Look at the
bright side," she said into his chest. "We are
still
together." Bobby kissed the top of her head and
sighed.
"Definitely a bright side."
Bobby
After
I said that I felt Alex gently nuzzle against my neck.
She was so
tiny. Sure, she wore heels but her head only came to my
chin. When
I held her though, she was the perfect height, and when
we
go-went-undercover I would sometimes have trouble letting her
go. I
don't think she ever noticed.
As we walked I kept a
protective arm around her waist and read
the signs. Accidental,
natural, suicide, murdered and assassinated.
We walked underneath
the murdered sign and got in line behind about
50 or more people.
Then we waited, and waited and waited.
While waiting we played I
Spy.
"I spy a guy with an axe in his head."
"He's
right there behind the guy holding his head."
"Fine
then. It's your turn."
"I spy a girl with no hair and
knife in her stomach."
"She is..." Alex stood on
her toes and tried to peer over
everyone's' shoulders. I chuckled.
I know she hated it when I made
fun of her height, but it was so
easy to do. Sometimes I just
couldn't help myself. She's cute when
she's angry. If it's even
possible for her to be cuter.
"Having
a little trouble there shortie."
Alex
When Bobby
said that I swung around and hit him square in the
chest. I
stepped out of his arm and turned my back to him. When he
didn't
say anything I took a quick glance back and saw him lightly
touching
his chest. When he pulled his hand away I saw the tear in
his
shirt and a long gash in his skin. I could also see the bullet
hole
right above the gash, but I was more worried about the gash.
I
reached out and gently touched his chest. He looked at me
and
muttered "sorry". I ran my thumb over the cut and
looked up at him.
It wasn't bleeding. I looked at my hand. On my
wrist was my charm
bracelet Bobby had given me last Christmas. I
hugged Bobby.
"Oh Bobby. I'm sorry. I-"
"Its
okay. I'm just so surprised that it's not bleeding."
Bobby
gently took my hand away. "I guess it's just because
our hearts aren't
beating anymore. I shouldn't have said
anything." He let go of my
hand and didn't say anything else,
nor did he put his arm back around
me. I never minded him joking
with me about my height, and I usually
just lightly hit his
shoulder. I never intended to hurt him. I hated
hurting Bobby. No
one would ever believe this in a million years, but
he is or was
fragile. He never showed how certain things hurt him.
Sometimes
though you could tell. The defeated slump of his shoulders
or the
way he avoided looking you in the eyes. I hated that the most.
I
loved Bobby's eyes because every time I look into them I was lost
in
two deep brown pools. Each time I was caught up in them I had to
make
sure I didn't trip or just stop breathing altogether.
I lightly
brushed my hand against Bobby's and pushed myself back
into his
arms. He hugged me. I knew that this was his way of saying
that he
was truly sorry. I smiled and
snuggled deeper into his arms. It
made me think of all of our
undercover operations. He would always
hold onto me longer then
necessary. He never knew that I noticed
it. I hope because I liked
those few seconds. So, I had my
secrets, and so maybe when did that
he never noticed how I tried
to stay like that. Maybe he didn't
notice how I would always try
to makeup excuses to go undercover.
Maybe he did notice and maybe
he also noticed how much I liked it.
Bobby
When Alex
manipulated her way back into my arms I sighed. It
meant she
didn't hate me. Somehow holding her calmed me down. It
always did,
and it always seemed harder to let her go when she was
the one who
started. It always gave me hope that she liked me more
than she
ever let on.
There was one person in front of us now and when they
stepped
away Alex gingerly stepped forward. I felt her shudder.
The thing
behind the desk was...in easy terms, dead and
rotting.
"Name."
"Alexandra Catryna
Eames."
"State how you died."
"I was shot
by a suspect."
"Room 211." The thing handed Alex a
key and in its raspy, yet
monotone voice said, "Next." I
stepped beside Alex and nodded at it.
"Name."
"Robert
Nathaniel Goren."
"State how you died."
"I
was also shot by a suspect."
"Room 212." It handed
me a key and Alex and I moved away towards
the elevator. I held
her closer as I felt her shudder again when we
stepped into the
elevator.
"What was that thing?" She turned towards me
and I shrugged my
shoulders.
"I have no idea."
Time Passes
Man w/clock walks by
Time is Done Passing
Why Elevator Music is From Hell
The elevator ride was pretty
uneventful. Then again I had gotten used to staring at the walking
dead. That was before I saw the guy with the knives sticking out of
every square inch of his body. That was also before the knife guy
touched my butt, and that was also before Alex freaked out.
Alex
and I were in the elevator alone for most of the ride. She was gently
leaning on my chest, and I had my arms loosely around her waist. Alex
was just a little shaken by the experience, but I didn't expect her
to ask why where ever the Hell we were didn't have elevator music. I
chuckled.
"Alex, if this place had elevator music I doubt
that it would be the music you like." That earned me a punch to
my shoulder. Grabbing her hand I twisted Alex around and caught her
other hand before she could hit me again. Pulling her arms behind her
I leaned down, and I stared her in the eye. She was glaring at me.
"Bon Jovi isn't elevator music anyways." I quickly kissed
the tip of her nose and let go of her as the doors opened.
She
turned around to face the door, but turned back into my chest when He
walked through the doors. He was shorted than I was. With short
blonde hair and vivid green eyes he could have been considered
hansom. You only noticed how handsom he could've been when you got
past all the knives sticking out of his torso and limbs. I gagged. He
reeked of dried blood, ammonia and bleach. That was where the burns
on his throat came from. The deadly combination of ammonia and bleach
would have caused poisonous fumes to melt him from the inside out.
The knives must have been an after thought I thought grimly.
Alex's
arms were wrapped tightly around my waste and her head was buried in
my chest. I gingerly rubbed her back. Usually, a corpse like this
wouldn't bother her this bad. It was just the fact that we were
corpses and we were standing next to the worst one to be standing
next to. Especially when the corpse thing next to you is gay.
Alex
looked beautiful. A random thought, but true. So, maybe we were dead,
but I could still think she looked adorable, right? She was just so
tough all the time. However, now she looked vulnerable, and that
wasn't how I would ever describe her. So my thoughts were on how cute
my partner was when the knife guy touched my butt.
How to Divorce Your Dead Husband After Death
Time Passes and a Strange Man Grabs Goren's Ass; Eames Teases Him Relentlessly
Alex walked down the deserted hallway. This was
the strangest hotel...not only was it a pit stop for dead people, but
all the numbers were out of order. She glanced at a door number. 247.
The next one was 214.
"Having a little trouble there,
sweetie."
Yeah, I thought Hell was in the basement."
Alex turned around to face the speaker. She screamed. "Holy
s! No! You are supposed to be dead! oh my f God. Tom!"
Alex ran to her late husband and threw her arms around his neck. He
awkwardly patted her back.
"Ummm...Aly, it's okay. I'm
fine." He lifted up her head, and looked into the bullet hole.
"But what happened to you?" Alex let go of him. She wiped
her eyes and spoke.
"I got shot on a case. Goren is here
somewhere, but I was joking with him about this ghost this ghost that
grabbed his, well, you know..."
"Arse?"
"Yeah.
He sorta left me alone in the elevator and I can't find my room."
Tom took his wife's arm and pull her into a room.
"That
ghost?" He pointed at the guy sitting on the bed watching Sunday
morning sermons and throwing darts at his arm (which was pinned to
the wall). Alex looked up at Tom.
"YOU!" She tripped
backwards out of the room. "Oh my God! My husband is gay, and he
was cheating on me with a dead guy-She paused. "You're gay."
Her eyes glazed over as she glanced back at the man on the bed. She
snorted. "Good luck."
"Alex," Tom tried to grab her
arm, but missed. "I didn't think that you would be here for a
while and-"
"Tom, I want a divorce."
"We're
dead. How in Hell are we going to get a divorce?"
"You're
the one going to Hell. I didn't commit adultery."
"Then
who is this Goren person?"
"My partner!" Alex began
to storm off down the hall. "burn in Hell!"
"My
transfer not until next week!" She heard a door slam and get on
stomping down the hall.
"Well, that explains a lot."
Time Passes Once MoreHis Salary Goes Up
"Uuoofff." Alex stumbled a little, but was caught by a strong arm that had hooked itself around her waist. She looked up into Bobby's eyes. He smiled. Setting her on her feet he lightly brushed her hair out of her eyes.
"You okay Alex? You look kind of...upset." Alex glanced at him. He stared back and, she finally grabbed his hand.
"Just take me to the damn room Bobby."
Ice-cream and Anti-Depressants
"So, Tom is gay?" Bobby handed Alex another pint of cookie dough ice-cream and sat down on the couch next to her. She stabbed at the ice-cream with her spoon and nodded. He gently rubbed her ankle." That bad?"
"It just makes my whole mourning thing pointless. He was happy this whole time." She stabbed at the ice-cream again. "My whole marriage feels worthless." Alex sat up and laid her head on Bobby's shoulder. "I could have been dating!" Bobby snorted. Patting her head he laughed quietly.
"Now Alex, did you learn anything from this experience?" She elbowed him and smiled.
"Yeah. Choose better husbands, take the stairs and," Alex nudged Bobby's side just enough to make him move so that she could lay down with her head in his lap."You, Robert Goren, have a very pinch-able ass." Bobby blushed a little and tickled her sides. She squirmed and laughed as Bobby continued to tickle her. When he finally stopped she was half in his laugh and half off the couch.
"Take it back."
"Why?" Bobby tickled her some more. She shrieked and tried to push him away. He carefully pulled her back up into his lap. Alex sighed when she realized he had stopped, and she leaned against his chest to rest."You have a nice ass."
"You look often?" Alex grinned and poked his chest with her index finger.
"Only in passing and when I need an anti-depressant.
"Good. Very good." A dark shadow slid across the floor to the window."Very good." evil laugh
