Griffen sat in his dark damp office writing in his Daybook “As I walked around the crammed city of London, I saw a small minor sprint past me it reminded me of the past, the child must have heard the ice cream van go past. As I arrived back to my office, I looked outside and smoky was sitting in his chair smoking like always-” Before Griffen could write anymore the door slammed open showing Smokey holding some paper’s “You could have just knocked” Griffen said looking unamused. Smokey rolled his eyes and threw the papers at Griffen, the papers had scattered everywhere leaving Griffen to pick them up “What are these” Griffen asked as he flicked through the crumpled pieces of paper “Missing posters of a person who used to live 2 blocks down from us isn’t that weird” he replied. “So, you basically want me to be Sherlock Holmes and solve the mystery” Griffen said sarcastically. Smokey signed and so on bringing out another cigarette to smoke and walked out of the room. Griffen slammed his daybook and started analyzing the posters “Kathleen Thomas missing. If found, please call --------- ----” Griffen looked at the back of the crumpled piece of paper there was nothing there but a piece of dust *Where do I recognize this person …... Oh my lord she used to work at the diner down the street* Griffen thought. He started to get up from his desk stretching his back after sitting there for too long. The door creaked open showing smokey with his coat on “I see your finally leaving your office” Smokey smirked. “How did you know-,” “because I have super hearing” He interrupted. Griffen sighed has he put his coat on, as he got his keys, he had a slight suspicion that something was going to happen that day. “Where are you going to go?” Smokey asked, throwing 2 cigarettes in the garbage bin. “The diner down the street” Griffen said irritably. “You know Griff the food there is terrible” Smokey says confused. Griffen started to walk away ignoring Smokey's question, As Griffen walked out of the house he wondered *How could an adult women go missing without trace? Did someone kidnapped her or something? *As he walked over to the diner a peculiar person accidently bumped into him “Ay watch where you're going ok!” The strange man said as Griffen walked past in silence, he felt a shiver go down his spine as he arrived too the diner. Griffen looked for any evidence around the awful dark diner, he could not find anything there was no trace of Kathy. He knocked on the diner’s door to see if they knew anything about the case but there was no answer, he knocked again but harder and fiercer, finally someone opened the door. “This store is closed you-” The women stopped shocked to the core of the sight of Griffen. “You ok Suger?” He replied confused why she looked shocked. “Don’t you-u remember me?” The women asked. Griffen looks at her hand it had a sweet wrapper made into a bracelet Griffen looked up I thought he was going to cry “Crim?!” he cried as he jumped to hug her. They both squeezed each other so tight both went red. “I thought you left to live in Texas?” He asked wondering why she was here “Well remember how my parents became divorced and my mother and I left to live in Texas when I had left school? Well after 5 years living with my gran, I felt alone because of being in a different place and no one to help me at school so my mother decided to move back here, even though she hated this place.” she explained. Griffen still shocked to see his long-lost friend felt like he did not believe the explanation it seemed very strange that her mother moved again for such a small reason and the 5 years don’t sound very true either, so he started to think as his talkative friend kept talking about random things that Griffen will probably would never understand “Uh Griff?” Crimson asked a bit annoyed he was not listening. “Yes?” He replied acting like he was listening. “Just to ask what the reason is you’re here?” she asked softly knowing that he was not here for the disgusting dry food. “Work.” He started to pull out the missing poster “Oh my lord, poor dear Kath she was such a sweetheart. When was she found missing?” She asked, “About a week ago I think but I just got the news today so I thought I would check here because of her working here and stuff the police will probably come tomorrow as well just so you are aware” Griffen replied seriously. “Do you want to come in for a cup of coffee?” Crimson asked. “Um ok but it will have to be quick” Griffen sat at the counter sipping his cup of coffee while his talkative friend was chatting faster than ever, He started to wonder why this soulless place was here no one ever came here at all, just then he was easily interrupted by crimson tapping him is right shoulder she probably was telling him to listen to what she was saying,
she normally did that mostly because she knew Griffen had a low attention span. Griffen looked at crimson as he put his coffee on the counter so he could finish the rest of the coffee. “Griffen were you even listening to anything I was saying” Crimson asked unamused. Griffen nodded sweat dripping from his face, He rolled his eyes “Fine I dazed off again” Both of them started laughing “I missed talking to you, it has been lonely really but at least were together now and that’s all we need to think about” Crimson says blushing. Crimson loved Griffen more than anything but Griffen did not feel the same way he thought of them being more platonic than a couple. Griffen sipped more of his coffee, He looked at his watch 19:36 PM?! His face when blank again “Well I best be going I’ll see you tomorrow if you don’t have... you know work” Griffen told crimson as he put his quarter full coffee down. He started to put his coat on “OH um see you tomorrow I guess” She blushes like a red tomato “Yeah” Griffen replies smiling a bit awkwardly. Griffen closed the door walking away from the diner. A mysterious figure walks in after Griffen leaves the area; he starts to pick up the cup Griffen left. “Excuse me that-” The man drinks the leftover coffee and puts it down next to crimson. Feeling uncomfortable crimson did not say anything as the man left. *WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED*
