CHAPTER ONE- GHOST TOWN?

prologue

Most times a ghost town is commonly referred as a forgotten town where nearly no one resides in anymore but this time, in this story ghost town is a town where if you ever end up in, YOU end up a ghost, you become a nobody, you end up a soon forgotten memory…

Only back then I didn't know, I thought it was just stories, I didn't believe in the supernatural and I still don't because now I know |it was nothing supernatural. It was just him toying with people life's for money.

Though, I can't blame him only, the whole system was fucked up and they're still somethings I can't understand but even if he explained I still wouldn't. I remembered his words.

''one way or another we're all fucked up, including your stupid -ass FBI''…

I sighed at how right he ended up being and how his words always rammed through my head, I pushed my red hair back and slid down my couch, I missed the taste of his lips, I missed his sweet fragrance, I hated to admit that I missed him.

But… we were never going to work out, I knew that from the beginning, our relationship was just one of the strings that came with ghost town that we unfortunately had to cut off…

CHAPTER ONE- ghost town

'ghost town!' our director said as he slammed the files on the desk 'there's no fuckin' way! ' Barry, my partner quickly rejected what didn't seem to be an offer.

'no? why? 'you'll only be going undercover to get info- you have to be fuckin' with me, you know the rumours' Barry said and I looked lost as they exchanged words.

What the hell was ghost town.

'let rumours be rumours jerry- it's Barry' he corrected 'Danny that's what I said' I smiled at that. Barry didn't seem that much amused with our case, I didn't care.

'now about the problem with ghost town- I'm not going there!' Barry declared. 'but your partner doesn't seem to have a problem with it' he said and they both stared at me.

I hated being in the spotlight.

I probably looked stupid as I blinked and shifted my gaze to the file in front of me, shifting my blonde hair behind my ear I quietly asked 'um, what's ghost town?'

'you- you don't know what ghost town is? The town of no return, no one ever comes back'.

It doesn't ring a bell.

I shook my head and he hit the table in anger as the director laughed 'it's a fuckin death trap- don't listen to him girly, he's being a pussy'.

'call me whatever you want I don't care' Barry said like a pussy and the director grunted 'fine,' Barry looked wide-eyed 'Fine?' he questioned and the director repeated 'fine!' Barry was about to sigh in relief but the director continued.

'just drop your resignation letter leave this job, don't get a salary. Get kicked out of your apartment, end up working as a bartender in some club, get associated with bad people, end up in some gang, start dealing with drugs and end up behind bars' the director finished and brought out an A4 paper.

That was all too specific.

'if you reject this case then you automatically quit, I don't have time for rookies like you' he shifted the paper towards Barry and I looked at him.

'it's your choice Jerry' the director said and Barry shook his head 'we're going to fuckin die' he picked the file which meant he picked the case and the director smirked.

'great, read more on the case, you'll be going in a week, your fake visa and clothes will be given to you in some days just ask charlotte' he said suspiciously happily then spun his chair around.

He stopped then looked at me 'or do you have a problem girly?' he asked and I could see Barry glaring at me as I shook my head.

Pussy!

'good now get out!' he ordered while humhumming suspiciously happily 'this meeting took much more time than intended' he said then Barry angrily stood up and so I followed after.

'wait! And if you do come back – Alive?' Barry asked completing his sentence.

If- we- do-come-back-alive!

The director chuckled 'I mean when you get back your real FBI salary will be given to you and a promotion; you'll officially be assigned your own squad and be made official partners'.

Barry shrugged 'is that supposed to be some kind of dowry or something?' 'no, it's your promotion like I said' the director answered and immediately Barry left.

I wanted to say something because it wasn't feeling right but, I just stayed quiet like always and followed after Barry.
