Police Work

Chapter 2: The Files

"What do you mean?" Arthur sputtered surprised.

"I mean she's your new work partner. You've known about this appointment for a week, and I guess since you're both here early you can start getting to know one another."

"No, by 'Amelia Jones' you don't mean…"

"Yes, she is the daughter of Alfred Jones. She has such an outstanding record in the Academy… in fact she was the top of her class and she graduated a year early." The Chief said looking over his notes, chuckling. "You are your father's daughter, aren't you?"

"Yes sir!" Amelia smiled.

"Uh sir, are you really sure I should work with… her?" Arthur commented.

"Quite sure, in fact you have a case don't you? Get her familiar with it, or else I'll have you on traffic duty for a month."

"Yes sir." Arthur reluctantly agreed.

"Now go and get out of my office!" The Chief yelled.

Arthur led Amelia out of the office and took her to her new desk, which was right across from his. He let her sit down while he got the case file out. She looked at everything on her desk with interest. Everything was so new to her, for now; soon she would know everything about this office, and about Arthur. She was excited to work with him, he seemed really grumpy, but she could tell that he just wasn't a morning person. He probably needed a cup of coffee this early. She looked around and saw a coffee machine, and smiled deviously.

Arthur was looking in the cabinet where he was sure he put the case file. Where did that bloody file go? He grumpily thought. He needed his cup of tea right about now. After 5 more minutes of searching in the filing cabinet he found the file somehow stuck in the bottom drawer in the back. He turned around and saw Amelia sitting with two cups of coffee.

"What are you doing?" Arthur asked.

"Drinking coffee," Amelia smiled.

"Why do you have two cups?"

"One's for you."

"Who said I like coffee?"

"Who said you didn't?"

"I do! I'm telling you right now, I bloody hate coffee! I only drink tea you git."

"Sorry Arthur, I didn't know." Amelia pouted."Hey what's a 'git'?"

"Idiot," Arthur explained. "Git means idiot."

"Oh... well... I'll try to remember that you only like tea..."

"It's ok." Arthur sighed. "Hey Hercules! Want some coffee?" He shouted to his drowsy co-worker.

"Sure... Arthur... just... put it on... my desk." he said between snores.

"Ok, now back to this case." Arthur said addressing Amelia. She then in turn raised her hand. "Yes Amelia?"

"Can we have hamburgers for lunch?" She asked. And Arthur could tell it was going to be a long day.

The first thing that escaped Ivan's lips after he entered the limo was; "Toris, when we arrive home, start a file on 'Amelia Jones', find out everything about her."

"Y-yes sir!" The driver spoke.

"Good." he said as he leaned back in the chair.

The drive to the mansion wasn't extensively long, only long enough for Ivan to take a short nap. He had been working very hard since he was a boy. With his father dead he was now the head of the Russian Mafia in this sector of the world, and no one would crush him, no one. He still held a grudge against the man he thought killed him, even though that man was 6 feet under. Ivan had visited the cemetery to pay respects to his father, the great General Winter. It was not often that he would see people in the cemetery that early in the morning, in fact it was quite rare. The girl, he suspected, was in her early 20's and she looked amazing, he would have to be careful, because she said she would be a hero, whatever that meant, and Ivan was anything but a hero. He needed to figure out a way to hide it, yet still win her in the end. Now that they were at the mansion, he could get back to work. Toris was able to complete a file on the girl in 2 hours and he handed it to Ivan.

"Ah good, let's see, Mother is a doctor, Mother's maiden name is Emily Johnson, married twice. Father is a... police officer... his name... Alfred F. Jones." Ivan paused at the name. It couldn't be he thought, It's just a coincidence, there are many people whose last name is Jones, and first name Alfred. "Dead, after shot, and killed by a mysterious individual. He left behind two daughters, Amelia, 7 now 22, and Madeline, 6 now 21. Christopher Williams, step-father, married Emily 3 years ago. Madeline Williams, her sister, is currently attending medical school. She seems to be ready to graduate this next year, a few years early. She is currently single at the moment. Now Amelia," Ivan smiled to himself, "Just graduated from the Police Academy, a year early as well. Highest ranked of her class. She is currently living in an apartment in downtown, started a job at the police station, today. Interesting... her partner is Arthur Kirkland." Ivan paused again. "Toris!" he then yelled.

"Y-you called sir?" The servant said as he rushed into the room.

"Run a more detailed folder on Arthur Kirkland."

"Y-yes sir."

"And tell Eduard to bring my breakfast up here, I may be here a while." he said with his childish grin.

"Y-yes sir."

As soon as Toris left, Ivan got back to Amelia's file. "Where was I? Ah yes, her partner is Arthur Kirkland, they start together today. She owns no pets. She goes to the same restaurant for lunch, McDonalds. Disgusting... ah well, we all have our flaws. Ah, this is what I was looking for, her relationship status is 'Single.'"

He read the file over and over again, memorizing all of the important details until he could cite the entire file from memory. When breakfast came he ate very little of it and returned to the file. After reading the file he devised a plan for Amelia, a plan that could not fail. It would not fail, or else he would have to get… violent.

Author's Note: Yay! I finished! It's a shorter chapter… I was runnin' out of ideas. So yeah, school made me bust this week and when I got ideas the school bell would ring and then I would forget them… the next chapter will be up ASAP. I'm surprised that there aren't any words for me to translate… ANYWAYS I wonder how lunch will go xD. What do y'all think?

Review Notes: Kita On'nanoko Laurant: Thanks! I'll try to get more chapters out. It's kinda hard 'cause I also have TBoS to work on, but I'll try to get another chapter up this weekend. Thanks for the review!

artfan: No, he didn't know who she was. That was a good guess on your part though, he is kinda surprised, but he won't know it's really her father that he killed for the death of his own father until later. Thanks ^.^ I think Amelia isn't that hard for me to channel, cause we're both really hyper and random. So more randomness will ensue… eventually

Sandyangel: I'm countin' on it :D Don't worry though, 'cause this story isn't even close to done. There are gonna be sooo many twists and turns.
