Broken: I do not own any of the characters in Blood Ties. I only own Dawn because she is my own character.
Chapter 1
"You're late." Vicki said as Henry walked in that evening.
"I didn't know I was being timed." Henry replied, hanging up his coat.
"I called you and told you to come here 15 minutes ago. This is a very important case Henry, and it's going to take a lot more work since Coreen isn't here to help." Vicki scolded, sitting down at her desk.
"That's right. Where is she anyway?" Henry asked.
"Family emergency. She had to fly in to Greece and won't be back for about a month."
"Well I'm sorry I was late. So what's so special about this case?" Henry replied.
"I've been in contact with a woman who believes her brother has been abducted." Vicki explained.
"Shouldn't that sort of thing go to the police?" Henry asked, partially uninterested.
"Yeah I know. She went to the police and filed a missing person alert. The end report was that her brother was probably dead, and the body was never found." Vicki continued.
"I see."
"That's not all. The woman claims to have seen her brother waiting for her in her own house."
"So what's the point of all this?" Henry asked, frowning.
"That missing person report was filed 3 years ago. The woman claimed to have seen her brother yesterday."
Henry stared at Vicki for a moment, thinking.
"Do you think perhaps the woman's brother is a spirit?" He asked.
"It's very likely, but I want her to come in here and talk to us, just to be sure." Vicki replied, picking up the phone and dialing.
"What do you expect her to day?" Henry asked, sitting down on the edge of the desk.
Vicki put up her hand, signaling for him to be quiet.
"Hello, Ms. Robinson? Yes, this is Vicki Nelson. I was wondering if you could come down to my office tonight, or tomorrow night if that's a better time…yes I wanted you to tell me about the night you saw your brother…ok so I'll see you in an hour? Excellent, thank you." She said before hanging up.
"So she'll be here in an hour?" Henry asked.
"Yep."
"I'll be back before then." Henry replied, getting up and walking over to his coat.
"Where are you going?"
"To feed. I wouldn't want to look too pale for our guest." He answered with a smirk.
Vicki just rolled her eyes as he walked out the door.
Broken: So what do you think?
Vicki: Seems to be good so far.
Henry: I agree.
Dawn: I think it's boring.
Vicki & Henry: Who are you?
Broken: Dawn! You're not supposed to show up until the 3rd chapter! Go away!
Dawn: Well fine then!
Broken: Review please!
