Chapter Ten
The sky had begun to glow white as Al drove her across the city, snow starting to fall as the temperature plummeted. Alice hated winter, didnât understand the joy of snow. It was cold and wet, two of the most miserable things. She touched her palm to the car window, feeling the frostbite through the glass.
âHere we are,â Al said, putting the car into neutral.
âIâm sorry our date was cut short,â she said, turning to face him, her hands freezing as she grabbed her bag.
âYour job is important,â he shrugged. âAt least we got some fancy drinks.â He shot her a side smile.
She felt guilty. Not guilty because the date was cut short, but because she was glad for the excuse to leave early. The call had been OâNeil letting her know about a meeting, something she couldnât miss.
âIt was a nice evening.â Her eyes darted to the digital clock by the steering wheel, only 6:56 p.m. She hadnât even been at the restaurant for an hour before they had to leave. She really sucked at dates. âIâll make it up to you.â
âI have an idea,â he said as she turned to face him, his lips stroking across her own before she could even react. She automatically kissed him back, his tongue teasing her bottom lip as she pressed forward.
She felt nothing. No excitement. No attraction.
Nothing.
After a minute Al slowly moved back, his eyes sad as he sighed dramatically.
âYou didnât feel anything either, did you?â
Alice awkwardly laughed, shaking her head gently. âIâm sorry.â
âDonât be, thatâs what first dates are for.â He rested back in his seat, closing his eyes. âFriends?â
âOf course,â she gripped his shoulder, squeezing it gently before opening the door. âIt really was a nice night.â
âWe will do it again sometime,â he smiled. âBut as friends.â
âFriends.â
Waving her goodbye, she stepped through the revolving door. She quickly took in the grand atrium, studying the white tiles, high ceiling and large opaque glass behind the front desk.
âHelloâ¦â she started as she approached.
âJust a moment maâam,â the woman said, her attention on the paperwork scattered in front of her.
Alice waited even as she felt eyes prickle her skin. Officers milled around, some leaning against a few desks to the side of the room, their eyes tracking her every movement.
âIâm here to see Detective OâNeil,â she said when her patience ran out. âIâm Agent Skye, he should be expecting me.â
That caught the womanâs attention, her eyes appraising Alice slowly before she frowned. âYou the witch?â
âSpook squad.â Someone quietly murmured from beside her, followed by a few chuckles.
Alice shot them an irritated look, watching the menâs faces turn sober before she gave her attention back to the woman.
Whatâs their problem?
Alice scrambled in her clutch for her badge, holding it to the glass so the officer could see.
âThat would be me.â
âWhatâs a witch doing in our department?â Another of the men said from behind.
âShe doesnât look like a witch, more like a hooker.â
âPretty thoughâ¦â
Alice felt her ears burn.
âHey guys,â she moved so she all the male officers in her sight, plastering a smile on her face.
