Disclaimer: I do not own the Blood Ties Characters.
Author's Note: I have been getting questions about the point of view switches, so I'm going to answer them. Firstly, P.O.V. means "point of view"
Now the reason that I switch the points of view the way I do, is so that you are able to see what a certain character is thinking in a particular scene, and why he/she does what they do. I will switch a point of view to highlight an important part in the story. You may not understand it now, but I'm hoping that it will become clearer as the story goes on.
Thank you for your comments!
Chapter 6
Dawn's P.O.V.
I was taking a nap on my deck at my office when my phone rang, waking me with a start.
"Dawn's Light Private Eye." I answered groggily.
"Sleeping on the job huh?" A familiar voice answered.
I laughed.
"Hey Allison. I didn't get any sleep last night." I said.
"Really? Why not?"
"I kept having these nightmares about Deborah."
"Who's that?" Allison asked.
"Oh, this woman whose gone missing."
"Oh no! What happened?"
"Sorry, I can't give out any information on it just yet. I'll let you know once I finish." I answered.
Allison was my best friend, but if I gave out the least bit of details, that might put her in danger and I would never risk that. Besides that, I wanted Vicki and Henry to trust me. I was after all a professional.
"Oh, well ok then. Hey, do you want some coffee? Sounds like you need it." Allison added, chuckling.
"Oh hold on, I have a call waiting." I said before transferring to the other line. "Dawn's Light Private Eye."
"Hi, Dawn? This is Vicki Nelson." Came Vicki's voice.
"Hey Vicki, what's new?" I asked.
"I know this is last minute, but do you think you can come by my office this evening?" She asked.
"I'm pretty sure I can, I haven't had any cases all day. Why, has there been a break in the Deborah case?" I asked.
"Yes. I don't have time to tell you everything now, but I'll explain it when you get here." She said.
"Ok, I'll be over around 8:30pm." I replied.
"See you then." Vicki said before hanging up.
I then transferred back over to the other line.
"Allison?"
No response.
"Allison? Hello?"
Still nothing.
"I guess she hung up on me. Oh well." I said to myself, hanging up the phone.
Henry's P.O.V.
I arrived at Vicki's office at 8pm that evening. I saw Vicki with her back to me starring at the window and since I was in a playful mood, I smirked as an idea came to mind. I appeared behind her, and put my hands on her waist, leaning my head on her shoulder.
"Thinking?" I asked, my lips right by her ear.
I felt her stiffen up lightly, but I didn't move away.
"I'm hoping that Dawn can help us. Otherwise, I don't know how we're going to solve this case."
"She'll do the best she can. We'll worry about that when she gets here. Relax." I whispered, my lips grazing her neck.
"Henry…" She whispered. I knew she was resisting, but I wouldn't give up yet.
"No one is around." I replied.
She sighed, and as she turned around I pressed my lips to hers. She kissed back for a moment, but then pulled away.
"No."
"Vicki…" I pleaded, still holding onto her.
"I have a lot on my mind right now." She answered.
I sighed in frustration and released her, turning away.
"I'm sorry." Vicki said sadly.
I ignored her and left the office.
Broken: Wow, that was a bit harsh.
Vicki: I don't get why he's being such a baby about this.
Henry: ...
Vicki: Oh so you're just not going to speak to me? Yeah, that's very mature Henry. My god, grow up.
Dawn: Can't we all just get along?
Broken: Apparantly not. Henry at least close the story, please?
Henry: ...Review Please.
