3 Chapter Two

Chapter Two: Something Interesting Happened Today

"Angel, no need to act so formal when you don't even look the part." Andy snickered, fixing his tie.

I smiled, looking over at Andy with my eyes closed. I opened my eyes slightly to see Andy crossing his arms and glaring down at me. "No need to be angry, Andy. Oh, and your tie doesn't match your suit."

Andy looked down at his tie in a hurry, but he noticed that his tie matched his suit perfectly, and my smile started to get bigger. Andy looked even more uncomfortable. "See, how could you let him become a detective. He's weird, and I think he's insane."

I started to chuckle, smiling all the way to my eyes. "I heard I was getting a new partner today, and I hear that he likes Nike shoes."

I heard a deep, yet gruff voice that sounded kind of intrigued by what I just said. "How do you know that?" The voice asked out of curiosity.

I turned to see who said that, even though I already knew where he was standing. When I saw him, I was not expecting him to be so tall. I had to look up just to see his face. Smiling, I said, "I'm a detective, remember?" I point to his shoes and he looked down.

When he looked up, he didn't show any emotion. The only thing I got out of him was a small "Oh."

His eye color was brown, and his hair was the same. His hair was short, but yet it had this shaved look to it. Almost like he was bald, but he still had hair on his head. He was wearing a white shirt with a leather jacket, and some weird looking pants that looked like he got them from the Walmart down the street. His build was way bigger than mine, which made me grin. I started to slowly walk around him, but he didn't seem fazed. Then, I started to twirl and hum, but he just stood there. I was standing on the tips of my toes, and going around him like a merry go round.

"What's this little guy doing, sir?" My new partner asked the boss, his face void of expression.

Then I stopped. I was right in front of him. I looked down and said, "Little? What do you mean little?" Chuckling, I glanced over at Andy and pointed to him.

"Are you talking to him, because if you called me little you won't be able to handle my wrath. I will come after you. I'm your partner, after all!" I sang the last phrase and snickered slightly to myself.

Right after that, boss slightly coughed and looked me straight in the eye. "Andy is questioning whether you are a good detective, since you act insane all the time. As for me, I think you always act this way. That's why Andy is having Jay's old partner, and Jay is going to be your new one."

I look over at Andy, and smirk. "So, you think I'm insane." I start to walk over to him and go around him. I see his back and grab his shoulders, placing my lips behind his ear, I whisper "Crazy, insane. I'm one of them, do you think I will put a knife in your head?"

He swiftly turns around and pushes me away, slightly shaking and looking as though he just saw his great-grandmother die.

I start to laugh while sitting on the floor, and decide to move my legs toward a crisscross pattern. "Oh, I'm crazy." I hum, and waved my body back and forth, ever so slightly. "That's what you believe, but have you ever met the Skinwalker? He will hunt you down until his legs give out-" I sing these words as Andy shakes his head, fear showing in his eyes, "-oh yes, he will hunt you till his legs give out."  

Jay was staring at me, his face stone cold. As for his eyes, they told me a different story. He looked confused, but not in the slightest bit scared.

I didn't look at boss, so I didn't know what he was thinking. But Andy looked as though he was about to shit his pants, and I was loving it. My smile started to get bigger.

"Angel, stop! Do you want your a new partner to leave?!" My boss angrily screamed, already beside Andy and holding his shoulder for comfort. I guess the boss could tell that Andy was frightened.

I got up, and brushed the dust off my pants. I glanced over at Jay and put a small pout on my face, "You won't leave me will you? I would like to get to know you better," and I put a half genuine smile on my face and slightly tilted my head to the side.

That's when Andy angrily shouted, "You never smiled at me like that! What the hell?! You're all nice and sweet to jay, but then you go all insane balls on me!"

I didn't answer him back, I just slightly smiled while twirling toward the door. "Well, I gotta go home. Gotta feed my cat and stuff…"

I could hear a small shift of someone walking a little closer, and by the footsteps, I could tell it was Andy. They were loud, but soft at the same time.

"Why are you like this?" Andy asked. I had a feeling he has always wanted to ask me this. Even on the first day we met.

I didn't look at him. My hand shifted on the doorknob as I focused on it. My face pulls into a slight frown and I whisper, "It's to hide…."

"What? I didn't hear you." His voice resounded with slight confusion.

That's when I suddenly smiled and looked over my shoulder. "I've always been this way, but if you wanna actually know more information, find my mom and dad." I said, a slight smirk playing across my face.

That's when I walked out the door and didn't look back. Then, without warning, I hear footsteps walking beside me. "What do you want, Jay?" I hummed, looking down at my feet that were making there way along the floor of the office.

"Well, I gotta get to know you better, we are partner's after all...and you seem like a interesting individual. Not to mention I have a few questions that I would like to ask you." he muttered while putting his hands in his pockets and looking down at my bright orange hair.

I chuckled while looking up at him. His eyes stared down at me and for a split second, I thought I saw his eyes turn yellow. I smiled - well won't this be interesting?

"Ask away," I said, while grabbing the front door of the office. I opened the door and felt the chill of the sudden breeze that wafted into the building. I quickly shook it off and stepped outside, letting the door shut behind me.

"Is that your real hair color? It doesn't look real," he questions and starts to pet my head. I smile while staring down at his and my feet.

I laughed and said, "Yeah, it's my real hair color, but a lot of people have this hair color, so I don't know why people always ask that."

I couldn't hold my excitement, I needed to ask him. I started to smile while looking at him straight in the eyes.

"You're a werewolf, aren't you!"

I smiled when his eyes started to change color, but his face didn't look so calm anymore. He looked angry...

And that's just what I wanted.
