You Again?

Bryce closed his eyes as he leaned back in his computer chair, his wrist was hurting badly from all the writing but that didn't stop him. He had been on the internet for nearly hours and the only thing that was haunting him was that sun which peeked through his blinds and stared right at him. His hand shielded his bloodshot eyes as he squinted in response.

The clock struck another minute.

Bryce looked down at his computer almost glaring at the bright screen as he seen what time it was. He knew if he wanted to get to work tomorrow he would need to get some sleep so he drug himself off the computer chair and into his bed. The mattress swallowed him up and pulled him into a silent slumber.

Bryce awoke from his slumber and pulled himself out of the battle he had gotten himself into with the sheets and blankets. Blue eyes glanced to the clock sitting on his dresser which read 10:01 a.m. Meaning he had gotten five hours of sleep. He groaned as he pulled himself out of bed and made his way to his closest, which wasn't far from his bed, he pulled out a white shirt then got some more blue jeans to match.

Bryce walked into his kitchen and got him something to eat before walking out the door and into the sun which beamed down at him. If he had to admit he wasn't a fan of it at the moment due to his lack of sleep and the problem he had with it this morning. He made his way down the street and closed his eyes as the breeze passed by him, taking in the fresh air.

Bryce arrived at his destination and smiled when he seen the young girl give him a smile and wave like this was her first time seeing him in a while. "Bryce you made it!" The brunette rushed down to him and grabbed his hand before pulling him inside. "I'm soo glad you came. So my brother and I were about to make cupcakes for the church sale going on. You came to help right? If so you two can do the cupcakes while I help lady Fong prepare the decorations." Bryce paused for a moment as he looked at the sweet woman standing in front of him. "Uh, yeah sure I can help with the cupcakes."

The girl nearly squealed with delight as she grinned ear to ear. "Great! My brothers in the other room, you can help him out! Tell him I sent ya." She winked at him and disappeared into the darkness of the other room to where she'd help miss Fong out with the decorations. Bryce did as she told him but was stunned by who he found putting frosting on the cupcakes.

Detective Wrecker.

"You?!" Bryce nearly screamed and the hazel eyed male turned around to Bryce and had the same reaction for his eyes widen at the sight of the blonde. "McQuaid?! What're you doing here?!" They both were shocked to see each other and Bryce nearly choked on his own spit. "I came to help out for the church. What're you doing here? Shouldn't you be doing police things?" Bryce moved his hand around as a sour look crossed his features. Ryan nearly scoffed, "Well McQuaid I'm here for the exact same thing you are. And shouldn't you be at a hospital saving people's life? Last time I heard you were a Doctor." Now it was Bryce's turn to scoff.

"Oh please. I start tomorrow smart guy. I wouldn't have to be doing that if you'd actually being doing your job anyways."

"Oh sweet burn. Too bad it's roasting Evan and Tyler not me."

Bryce crossed his arms over his chest in response and rolled his eyes as he sighed deeply. This was childish and he knew it. Besides, he didn't even have anything against this man but now he kinda didn't like his attitude. "Are you the one I'm supposed to be helping?" This question made Ryan raise a brow in confusion until a smaller girl walked in with a small smile. "Oh Bryce this is my brother Ryan. He's a detective. Ryan this is-"

"Bryce McQuaid."

She stared at him for a moment and let her hand slide off of Bryce's back before going straight faced. "You know him?" Bryce knew she was going to take it the wrong way and immediately spoke up, "No, we just met.." The smaller girl smiled again and gave the boys a nod as she walked to the fridge and pulled out something to drink. "Okay, well since you two are getting along I'm gonna head back now Kay? Have fun." Bryce watched as she slipped out the door and closed it behind her.

Silence.

The blonde began to help Ryan fix cupcakes when the older male nearly cursed to himself as he messed up on the icing. "Here," Bryce reached out and Ryan looked at him. "Well let me see it." The hazel eyed male hesitated before handing it to him and watching closely as Bryce began to fix his mistake. He had to admit, he was a little impressed. "In touch with your feminine side?" Bryce only hummed in response as a smirk played on his lips allowing Ryan to understand exactly what he was meaning. "I see.."

•Outside Backholt Funereal.

A young man ran through the graveyard until he was in the forest, his brown eyes darted behind him where humming echoed ever so slightly through the thin cold air. His breathing hitched as rain started to come down on him.  The man tripped once but was quick to pull himself up until he was inside the building, door slamming shut behind him.

The man took a deep breath in as he fell to his knees and his hands hit the wooden floor underneath him. He was so caught up in his thoughts that he barley caught the sound of the piano playing a beautiful yet disturbing song..
