The winter cold 1 by Me (red white and royal blue hardcover TXT) 📕

It was December when I stumbled into the police staition."Oh my god is it cold!" I tell Connie."Here you go Hun" Her black cruls bounce up and down as she hands me some hot chocolate. Marshmellows bob up and down."Thanks Con your always taking care of me." She tugs on her blue blouse and wipes something off her jeans. "Oh its no problem" Connie dosent have to wear a uniform cause she just types 911 calls. She dosent have to work to hard,since it is a subrub.I get setteled into my desk.I take on cases so its half feild and half desk.My brown hair is pulled back into a doughnut bun,jeans,and a pink tiger shirt. Head chief Tony is in front of me, holding a tan folder.he has a white shirt,jeans,an un tied tie,black hair, stubbles, and he always has a cigar in his mouth. "This is your next case Issie. 20 year old Justine got kidnaped." He ploped the folder down onto my desk. His voice was scruffy kinda like you expect from his apperance."The same Justine that would always get lost in the woods?" "The very same." I rember when she moved in at 16 she would get lost in the woods so much that it ended up her mom never called the police cuase she would know where she would be. "And I want it done by this time next year" "You got it" He walked away. I siped some more of my cocoa.I opened the file. It seems the last place she was last seen was at the city park on the swings. It also says that a witness saw her get off and go to the parking lot. I decided that i should get prints off of the swings, but first to get justines print sample. "you got a case" My partner Romello asked but it was more of a statement. "Yeah" I sipped more cocoa.Romello is my partner when I get cases. He is just feild. "Can I get some of that?" "Going to have to bother Connie but make it to go" "You already know where to start? Wow that was fast!" after Romello got his coffe, we were off to the Smith's.We ventured outside and into my cold Sliverodo.I like a good truck that only seats three. "Where are we going?" Romello asks after a mile of warmth and silence. "Lula and Tom Smith's" "Why?" He looked uneasy. His eyes reminded me of smooth melted caromal,He wore a green hoodie and jeans very simple.I throw him the folder, he catches it with grace. "how come you diden't become a professinal baseball player?" He scans the file. "Cause being a black baseball player seemed to boring.I dont get it why are we visting the Smiths again" "There duaghter went missing. Last seen at the park, well we need a finger print sample to comfrim she was at the park cause she almost never goes to the park and she never gose on the swing." "Yeah will i still dont get it." I pull up and savor the last breath of warmth.We march up the snowy steps and pound on the door. "Hello" Bonnie says as she pulls open the door. "please come inside" we walk inside. "Can i offer you a cookie?" "That would be great." The police department became friend with the Smith's so we would without hesitation invetigate anything exept maby Romello and Connie but you know what ever.She comes back with a huge platter of cookies. some are frosted some are sugar, snickerdoodle,and chocoalate. I grab a frosted one. "Is it okay if I ask you some questions while my partner goes upstairs?" "I don't mind at all please make your self at home." She's a short blodne,and in a christmas dress. she truns around to put the plate of cookies down. "Romello check for anything supscious and I need that finger print." Romello noded and imeditaly marched uptairs.I sit down on her white couch. "Did Justine say she was going to the park ever?" She paused to think "Yes once" "When?" "Just a week ago," she paused."When I reported she was missing!" "Lula where is Tom?" "At work." "Thanks for your time" I say as Romello comes down the stairs. "Lets go Romello" We walked out the door. "Find anything?" He asks. "Yeah" I dig my hands into my pockets.We climb into my truck. "Are you going to tell me?" "Over lunch" I pull up to Sonic.I get the Corny dog. Romello gets a buger.When we have are food and paid the lady. "Her mother said that she did go to the park. How bout you?" "One thats not alot," "Hey I leave the snoppy cop part to" "Yeah shure, but I did
grab her laptop and her cell phone. Don't you think that she forgot those things. Even her cell teens live off those things!" "So it wasent a
runaway we can comfrim that." "I say we hack both the phone and laptop see if we can juice anything from that." when he says "juice" he
means get anything.We make it back to the police office. Its so warm! I shed my jacket and put it on the coat rack. We go to the confrence room. "Check the history see what she gose on and stuff. "yeah, I know dont tell me how to do my job Is. I roll my eyes. we see a lot of facebook and twitter. "Lets start with her facebook." "okay" wow nothing, nada, not even a trace. "Let me see that" I pull the laptop so I can look. I Click on history and go full blast babe. "Hmmm" "Hmmmm what?" "we see semptember she wasent on myspace all that much but after october she stared to go there after october 13th." "She must've ment someone" "and that someone must of taken her." we click and
view the messages. Yep defantly a predaor. we click on his file.
"Hey don't we know this guy?" Romello finally says after a long pause. I squint my eyes to get a better look.
"Now that you said it he does look familiar." I try to rember where i have seen this guy. Black long hair, palest skin ever, simple blue-jeans-and-skull-tee-like-everyone-eles look.
"HEY! Isen't that That Frost?" I ask. He runs a voodoo store with his brother Fabio.
"Good God! Your right. This means we have a suspect. Are you ready to go seek them out?"
"And return to that blasted cold? Let's do it."
We don't have to drive that far to get to MaGiC RoSE. WHen we get in, we stroll up to Fabio.
"Good to see you are still here." Romello sneers. I shoot him a Dude-what's-your-problem-today-look.
"Is Frost here by any chance?"
"Ah do you seek future, candles, remedies, perhaps a spell to ease thou's mind? Or for marriage issues?" He leaned cross the counter and smiled a crooked look. I grab him by his shirt collar. His greasy black bangs draped in front of his left black eye.
"WE ARE NOT A COUPLE," I leaned my head to Romello standing by the door looking mad.
"AND FURTHER MORE YOUR LUCKY I HAVE NO REASON TO ARREST YOU!! AND ITS WAY TO DANG COLD TO COME BACK AND BEAT THE LIVING CRAP OUT OF YOU OKAY?! GOOD!" I threw Fabio down, hard. I start to go up the stairs.
"Dude. Are you coming or what?"
"No!," He said quickly. ",um I mean that I'll stay here in case anyone tries to escape."
"Whatever." I stared up the stairs. What a rookie! I wonder.
I knock on the door.
"Enter" Frost has never seen my ever. And I only seen him in pictures.I ease the door open. I suspected to see and pale man dressed in black the only color at all would be his green eyes. What I see is a grayed haired with moderate wrinkles.
"Where's Frost." I asked nervously. YOUR A COP YOU SHOULDN'T BE NERVOUS! GET A GRIP! I yell at myself.
"I'm Hope Brownie." That name sounds so familiar.
" Hello Hope."
"Please take a seat child, make yourself comfortable."
I take a seat on a overstuffed purple chair, Hope is cross a small table with a glass ball.
"What happened to Frost?" I asked pointedly but polite
"He went on a trip, but I'm hear to take his place. My you look like the woman my son Romello talks about all the time. I have never meant that girl though."
"How could you never meet her?"
"Oh she is always busy! She's a deductive! A mighty fine one that Issie Wilder! My - oh I'm babbling again!"
"No, please go on Hope.I find it fascinating your babbling. I love to hear people talk." I'm trying to see what Romello said about me.
"Okay child but so I don't feel guilty bout not doing my job. May I seek into your future? um-er-uh?"
"My name is Rosie Baker."
"Rosie Baker? Are you new in town?"
"No im just visiting someone."
"Who?"
"Connie."
"Ah Connie her I meant and found quite talkative."
"yeah?"
"I believe its time to look into your future." She studied the gray ball for a moment.A type of emotion traveled clean across her face.
"In your future not so distant you will solve/be involved with the kidnapping of Justine. And you will get married! To a devilish person named Rudy Parker! He is tanned, draped with bronze hair. Then oh my this is in the way future where you are wrinkled but still beautiful. You are loved by everyone exepet by your husband and ............. ME?" I gasped with horror.
"Oh well." She just smiled.Your a cop act like it! I told myself.
"What more can you tell me Bout Frost?" I asked
"Oh He's at the near by town Roller. He's at his cousin's cabin although i think he is still in town brewing potions, making candles, charms and reading witch craft books who knows.Why are you so interested in Frost?"
"I thought he made really good red candles." She gets up and grabs a candle from the big closet.
"Here you go the last love candle. It's on the house.Now go child I have other matters to tend to."
I could take a hint and knew that it was two a clock the time Hope usually calls Romello.
I run to the his truck and grab the folder that held our case.Romello step in front of my path.
"Romello I can see why you didn't want to come up."
"Yeah was she annoying?"
"A little."
"Good she should keep her nose in her books." I wonder if this is why he never introduced me to his mother. Not that it matters just he saw my mother and father plenty of times, and I find it suspicious.
"How come you never introduced me to your mother?" The words slid out of my mouth.I wanted to take back the words right away.
"Just because." That doesn't sound convincing. Romello has been dying for a case like this, and I don't think he can not answer my questions and still be on the case. I lunge forward. Sprinting away I yell back towards him.
"BY THE WAY I'M TAKING YOU OFF THE CASE!" in a few minutes I burst though the doors of the police station. The air hugs my face. Warmth clings to me like a second skin.
"Connie, how would you like to be on a case with me?"
"Can't we wait for it to get warmer?"
"No I need your help with Justine's case."
"Why don't you just ask Romello?"
"He's off the case."
"Why do you need my
