"we pull apart the dark. compete against the stars with all our hearts." male. thirty-one. fbi.

That made sense. Would explain why it seemed the guy didn’t get out much. Eyes continued to scan the surroundings. A few more routine questions and he’d be out the door providing the guy didn’t ring any alarm bells. “Why Aldyria?”

[jeremyxhill]

This answer was easy enough. Weird considering him and Eli weren’t exactly dating or married or in love with each other or attracted to each other, but it was what they were going with. “My job can be anywhere, but when Eli said he was going to move out here to be a ski instructor, I thought Colorado would be nice to see.”

“What? - Oh. Oh! Sorry, no, that’s not - sorry. My mind wandered and - well, it wandered. You have to sing! I love hearing you sing. Besides, if anything it’ll draw customers in. I’m sure some of them might even try to give you their number.”

[jeremyxhill]

“Wondered? Yeah, I can understand that. Happens to the best of us. But on the subject of singing since you love it, I suppose I could. I could even take requests if you want.”

“There’s only one number I care about.”

[nataliesfitz-blog]

“Yeah, well… It’s not Christmas until you sing at least one carol as loudly as you can.”

[jeremyxhill]

“I don’t really have to sing. It’s just a joke. I won’t scare customers away.”

[markxbailey]

A simple nod. A simple enough story. “What do you do for a living, Mr. Hill?”

[jeremyxhill]

Now this was the part Jeremy couldn’t stand. He hated lying even if it was to protect his life. The worst part of it was that he knew exactly who this guy was with the clearance he had. He knew how long he’d been working for the Aldyria Police Department. He knew he had a sister. He knew he could trust the guy. But the lie came easy unfortunately because of years of practice. “I work from home as a transcriber.”

“I guess that means I should probably get my Christmas playlist started in The Brew, huh?”

[jeremyxhill]

“I mean only if you want me around more and singing along to songs once in a while. Promise it won’t be too loud.”

“Allergic to pine? That’s a travesty! That truly sounds beautiful. I hope you’ve got some lights ready to decorate, maybe even one of those Santa’s for the door. If you’re celebrating you have to do it right!” 

[jeremyxhill]

“It’s also a lie. I think it’s pre-lit, but I could get some red and green ones to go with the pink. I didn’t think about the Santas maybe a wreath too? I should get candy canes too. Just fill up the cabinets. I’m sure Eli would be so happy.”

“I’m not going to stop you. Christmas is the cherished holiday in my house. My ma had the tree up the day after Halloween.”

[jeremyxhill]

“I love Christmas more than I probably should. I tried to get a tree, but my friend said he’s allergic to pine. Jokes on him though. I ordered one of those fake ones with the pink tinsel needles because he’s a scrooge.”

“Okay, it’s been Thanksgiving and Black Friday. I’m allowed to hum jingle bells all I want.”

[markxbailey]

“And where was it you saw him?” he asked, all routine questions. Mark suspected something was a little off about the guy but nothing pointed toward psycho killer. Not yet, anyway. “I’m sorry, I didn’t catch your name.”

[jeremyxhill]

“A month ago my friend, Eli Keller, and I went to the Island and he works there,” he said, smoothly. It was the truth. Will had told them about it and it was better than dining in. “Jeremy Hill. We’ve been here for like a month and a half now?”

[markxbailey]

Mark caught the almost apprehensive demeanor of the man in front of him, though no judgements were made. “I’m looking for a man last seen the morning of Halloween. Will you take a look and tell me if you’ve any knowledge of his whereabouts?” He held up the photograph of James.

[jeremyxhill]

Jeremy looked at the picture thought he didn’t really have to. And that was for multiple reasons. He didn’t know what happened to James Stephenson and he honestly didn’t know where anyone was. Not even Eli. “No, I’m sorry,” he said, giving an honest and apologetic frown. “I’ve only ever seen him once and it was a long time ago.”

Knuckles rapped wood. Mark was doing his usual door to door questionning in light of James’ disappearance. He spoke as the door opened and he flashed his badge. “Dective Bailey here. I only need a few moments of your time.”

[jeremyxhill]

Of everything Jeremy expected today, it wasn’t a knock on the door. Eli had been set on edge since the disappearance of the guy they had absolutely no relation to. He hadn’t even been their waiter the one time they went to the Island, but still he guess he could understand the caution when suddenly there was a disappearance in town during the Halloween celebration. Still, he was pretty positive it was safe for him to go to the Brew. When Detective Bailey announced himself, he figured Eli couldn’t really stop him from answering the door. He pulled open the door with a cautious smile before greeting, “Hey detective, what can I do for you?”
