Individual linkage like that is not so easy... Next one is gonna be tough. Onward after the jump!
We were in his apartment for nearly an
hour before I realized I hadn't even introduced myself. We chatted
quietly for the whole time, waiting for the cops to show up. When my
nerves got the better of me, and I started to tear up a little,
Ashton offered me a beer, and although I knew I shouldn't, I
accepted, and downed it. By the time the cops finally showed up, I
was on my second beer, and was starting to feel quite a bit more
mellow.
Ashton opened the door, and two
officers stepped into the room. The one who appeared to be in charge
looked to be about 6 foot tall, with a small beer belly. The other
one was a bit shorter, perhaps 5 foot 8, and he looked like he was in
better shape.
“Miss Stone?” The taller officer
asked, looking at me. “You were the one that reported the
disturbance?”
I nodded my head, and put down my beer,
“That's correct, officer.”
The officer's eyes followed the beer,
and then he looked back up at me, “You've been drinking?”
I looked down at the beer, and my eyes
widened as I looked back into the officer's eyes. “No sir... Mr.
Blake saw that I was shook up, and offered me a beer to help calm my
nerves. I almost never drink.”
He grunted in acknowledgment, and
scribbled a quick note on his pad. “Can you show us where the
incident happened, Miss Stone?”
I nodded, and started out into the
hallway. However, the second I turned, my heart stopped. The door to
my apartment was whole again, it was as if the behemoth had never
bashed his way in. I rushed to the door, and ran my hand along the
surface, feeling the chipping, faded paint and the numerous scars of
years of poor maintenance.
In a frenzy, I reached into my purse.
My hand briefly brushing against the cell phone the mysterious dying
man had given my before ultimately closing on my keys.
A quick check of the room revealed that
it was in almost perfect order, as if nothing had happened. The only
proof that anything had actually happened that day, was that my
bloody clothes were still scattered about the floor. Otherwise, there
were no broken doors, and more importantly, no sign of the scarred
giant.
