A/N: Hey there! Guess who's back…that's right! Anyway, you people have no idea how extremely happy I am right now! So many people reviewed! Makes me swell with pride! So as a reward for reviewing so much a certain raven haired man is in this chapter. This chapter is unedited so there's probably a whole bunch of typos and grammar errors.
Disclaimer: Don't own em so don't sue…the most you'd get out of me is probably some pennies I keep in my converse.
Right one more thing, Starts where the last chapter leaves off. After, that it goes into a different person's point of view…no I'm not saying who and finally ends with Sirius.
oooooOOOooooo
Again and again I try to get up, I no longer hear my aunt screaming but that doesn't matter I need to get out of the house. Each time I try to get up I fall hitting the floor harder every time. After one final push I manage to get up but I hear another explosion and I feel something heavy fall on top of me knocking be to the floor.
I try to hold out, try to stay conscious but can't. After a minute I black out completely…
oooooOOOooooo
I hear a ring and my eyes slowly open. I grab for my cell phone on the bedside table and pick it up.
"Hello?" I yawn and rub my eyes.
"Ms. Evans?" at the sound of my boss' voice I sit straight up in my bed now fully awake.
"Yes, Sir it's me,"
"You're needed at a scene in 20 minutes. Think you can make it in time?"
"Of course sir," I'm already getting out of bed.
"Good," I can hear the approval in my boss' voice. "Let me tell you the address…" I jot down the directions and hang up the phone. I walk over to the side of my bed where I keep a set of clothes and shoes for occasions like this. Once dressed I stick the directions in my back pocket and glance at my digital clock, 4:10am. I groan. I grab my cell and make for the door of my apartment, on the way out a grab an apple and my jacket.
10 minutes later I find myself in a beat up neighborhood. I see a crowd of people, cop cars, fire trucks and forensic vehicles stationed around one particular house…well what remains of a house anyways. I park my car and before I get out I check to make sure I've got my gun and badge, I walk to the back of my car and take out my kit. As I make my way to the house no one bothers me, I cross the yellow tape and a spot my boss, Mr. Cornelius Fudge, densest man I ever did meet. (A/N: hehe) He greets me with a smile.
"Aw," he looks down at his watch. "just in time CSI Evans, as always,"
"So fill me in,"
"There was an explosion about an hour ago. Turns out people living here were making and dealing meth. Our guess is that something went wrong, and well you can see what happened," he looks to the house.
"An accident?" I raise an eyebrow "so, why am I here?"
"Neighbors suspect fowl play between the buyers and dealers that lived here," I nod and accept the biohazard suit and mask someone hands me. I put them on and look to Fudge again.
"Has it been cleared?"
"Yes, there were only two bodies both dead" I start to make my way toward the door camera in hand but he stops me. "Aren't you going to wait for Shacklebolt or Longbottom?"
"I'll just start without them. I'm sure they won't mind," I start walking again. Once inside the house I go into CSI mode and nothing can distract me. All the evidence is still fresh so I quicken my passé.
I enter the origin of the explosion and set to work. After taking pictures of every inch of the room I open my kit. I was just about to bag something when a hear something fall and a moan. I get up and walk into the hallway. Another moan, it's coming from the other room across the hall and I cautiously walk over to it drawing my gun as I go. I step inside. It's not as bad as the other parts of the house but it's still full of chemicals in the air. I begin to relax, but suddenly the mattress on the floor moves and aim my gun at it.
"Who's there!" I get no response instead just another moan. Dropping the gun I pull the mattress up. I gasp and pull my mask off. I cough as I breathe in ash and smoke.
"Medics! God damn it someone get a Medic!" I scream as loud as possible. I get down on my knees and pull the boy up and I lay him up against the wall. He coughs and opens his eyes.
Cleared the house my ass! Those fuckers!
He starts to doze off and I panic. "Hey, stay with me here. What's your name?"
"Re-mu-s…" he voice is hoarse and weak.
"Ok Remus, you're going to be alright I just need you to stay with me alright? Don't black out on me Remus," he feebly nods his head and I can tell he's not going to last long.
Where the fuck are they!
Remus starts to close his eyes and I scream out "FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! MEDICS!" I hear feet pounding somewhere at the front of the house and I grow at ease. "Come on Remus it's ok" I cue. I see men come in the room with a stretcher and back away from him. As they lift him up on to the stretcher a feel a wave of anger wash over me. Once Remus is in the ambulance and out of harms way I storm over to my boss.
"You said the place was cleared!" Fudge steps back and looks at me.
"What, you blame me for what just happened?"
"Well who's in charge! That boy could have DIED!" I feel my blood boil. Fudge gives me a stern look and I realize who I'm talking to and calm down considerably. I see Shacklebolt and Longbottom coming toward us so I walk away from Fudge before he can say anything.
All day I couldn't quite get my mind off Remus. I wonder how he's doing and if he'll be able to make it. Even after I got home and took a bath I could only think the boy I found in ruins. Even after I cooked and ate dinner while I watched a movie I thought only of his burned arms and face. Even now as I get into bed I think only of him…
God Damn it!
I feel a tear run down my cheek and I instantly wipe it away.
I'm not suppose to get attached to the victims!
I can think that and say that all I want but it won't make it anymore real.
oooooOOOooooo
I run my fingers threw my shoulder length hair as I walk through the parking lot. Going up the stairs I take of my black sunglasses and put them in my back pocket. Opening the front door and walking in I'm instantly greeted my three women.
"Good morning Sirius!" they say in unison
"Did you sleep well?"
"How was breakfast?"
"You wanna meet up later for lunch?" They crowed around me waiting for a response.
I smile politely and they swoon. Luckily I'm saved by James Potter, my only friend in this hell hole.
"Hey mate!" he grabs my arm, "Don't mind if I steal him for I while, do you ladies?" not waiting for a response he starts leading me away from them.
"Thanks James," I let out a breath and he lets go of my arm quickening his stride.
"Don't mention it. Although it is kind of funny how they attacked you the moment you set foot inside that door!" he starts to laugh and I punch his arm. "Ow! Ok sorry!" he says rubbing his arm. "I mean you're awfully young…it's only natural that they hit on you. And they think your 'rebel' look is sexy!" he bursts out laughing and I smack his head.
"Oh shut up…" I growl
"Couldn't help myself mate!" he fights to control his laughter and I turn to go to my cubical, but I feel a hand on my shoulder and stop. "Wait, forgot to tell you. Dumbledore wants to see you," I stare in awe and James grins in return.
"Do you think maybe…it could be…" his grin broadens.
"Don't know Sirius, guess you're going to have to go to his office to find out," My breath hitches and I walk quickly to Dumbledore's office.
I have only been out of training for a month having entered college at age 17 and graduating in only three years. I flew through training and got this job three days afterwards. It's as if I was made to do this. I grin and walk faster. I still haven't been assigned my first case and every day I walk in hoping that that day will be the day. As I reach the door of his office panting I think to myself Today is the day!
Smiling I knock on his door.
"Come in," So I walk in and stand in front of his oak desk. He smiles at me and I relax. "Take a seat Black," he motions to a big stuffed chair. I sit still catching my breath. On his desk sits a yellow folder and I stare at it for only a second then look back at Dumbledore. He notices this and winks at me. I feel myself flush and sink into my seat.
"Today's the day Sirius," I feel a little better at him using my surname. He picks up the folder and hands it to me. "Your first assignment shouldn't be a problem for you. If I remember correctly you took psychology in college, correct?"
"Yes sir, a few years, why?" Dumbledore's eyes where doing that twinkling thing they do when ever he finds the current situation to be humorous and I feel tempted to open the folder right here and now.
"I think you'll be happy you took it once you see what your task is," he nods and I open the folder. Inside is a picture of a teenage boy with amber eyes and brown hair. I look at his information on the other page.
Name: Remus Lupin
Age: 17
Sex: Male
Height: 5'9"
Weight: 127
Hair color: Brown
Eye Color: Hazel
And that's it…
I look up confused at Dumbledore and he just smiles at me with twinkling blue eyes.
"Turn to the next page," I obediently do so.
On the next page I find a detailed report on an explosion that occurred in a drug dealer's house today around 3 in the morning. Apparently a boy that matched Remus's description was found amongst the rubble by a CSI.
Once done I look back at Dumbledore and wait for further instructions.
"Right now Mr. Remus Lupin is in the hospital but is doing fine. We don't know much about him or what happened at the house he was found in. Your task is to find out what he knows. I chose you for this case because of your experience in the psychology." He pauses and fixes me with a solemn look "You will need to be very patient with him," I nod and he leans back in his chair. "You may go now Sirius," I nod again and leave the room folder in hand. James sees me and comes running toward me.
"Ha, got your first assignment!" he claps me on the back, I grin and we walk to my cubical. "I mean you're a cop not a freaking secretary! I still can't believe they made you do paper work for nearly a month!" he looks at me and can't help but hug him.
"I got a case James!" I let go of him and walk over to my desk opening the folder again.
"So…" he nudges me with his elbow a few times, "Fill me in on your case…" I snap the folder shut as he starts to peek over my shoulder.
"James! You know we're not suppose to talk about our assignments to each other!" he rolls his eyes and attempts to take the folder from me but I'm too quick for him and he misses.
"Oh come on, you know no one ever follows that rule!" I sigh and get up from my seat. "Hey Sirius where you going to now?"
"I'm going to go start my case," I respond holding up the folder as I walk away from him. James chases after me and stomps his foot once.
"But I wanna know NOW!" he whines loud enough for half the room to hear him.
"Oh sure real mature, James!" I say over my shoulder as I walk out the front door.
A/N: Ha don't you just love James! Yup next chapter Sirius and Remus will meet! Please review people! Please! Please! PLEASE! If you do I shall love you forever and ever and ever and ever and ever! But if you don't you will never know what happens!
