Jim Moriarty sat next to Alice Elizabeth Glas in a park. Alice was texting profusely on her phone probably trying to make arrangements for her classes and two jobs she's trying to coordinate schedules for. The wind softly blew carrying traces of his cologne over towards Alice. A low murmur of other park dwellers created a security and comforting feeling. The weather worn green bench creaked with every movement made between the two. Jim stretched his arms out briefly touching Alice's back. He sighed deeply and hung his head down low.
"Um.. Excuse me. Are you alright sir?" Alice said in an English accent that covered up her Scottish blood. She brushed back small strands of hair that had escaped her quickly thrown up bun.
"Aye. I just miss my home" Jim said in a very thick but convincing Scottish accent.
"Oh?" Her voice squeaked with interest.
"I'm from Larkhall." Jim turned gave a small half smile "and you see… I'm here to make a better life."
"Oh my goodness! I'm from Dumferline! That's about an hour away isn't it?" Her faux accent crumbling within her excitement. It was at that very moment that he knew he had her right where he needed her.
After several month of being the perfect boyfriend and role model citizen he needed to move on to the next person on his list. He befriends Mike Stamford quite easily and peaks his interest with the medical field. They discuss for hours different stories (with Jim's being fictional) from their experience with hospitals.
"I was wondering if you would like to go out and have a drink with me and my mate Dr. Watson." Mike said pulling his coat on.
"I'd really like too however… I already promised my girlfriend I would take her to dinner." Jim said shrugging with disappointment.
"Your girlfriend? Who is she anyways?" Mike pressed.
"Oh! Her name is Liz Glas" Jim pronounced proudly beaming with a smile.
"Glas… Glas.. Why does that seem familiar?" wondered Mike deep in thought "
"She's a student at Saint Bart's if that helps any"
"Is her name actually Alice by any chance?" Mike pointed his finger at nothing in particular.
"Oh yeah- blonde hair" Jim confirmed.
"About yay high?" Mike placed a hand on the head of where an invisible Alice could have been.
"Yeah!"
"Ohhh She's an excellent student of mine"
"Oh really? That's wonderful. You must be that amazing professor I always hear her going on about" Jim chuckled.
"Good for you Jim" Mike smiled "Go have your fun- but not too much!"
"Don't worry we're just having dinner and a walk through the park" Jim slipped on his coat as he walked out the door.
