[big-bad-a-detective-story]

Chapter 01

Tea shop. Wednesday, 6 pm.

Or at least, assumed.

Time didn’t seem on my side, as I watched a clock that refused to budge-- digits drumming against a clothed table to replace its deprived telltale ticking. Time had read 6 o’clock upon arrival of the establishment-- an ugly tea shop bearing just as tacky a name of ‘Jabberwock Tea’. Yet, despite what had, no doubt, been hours sitting amongst the elite far outside my own standings… Well, it still said 6 pm on the dot! 

Which was WRONG. 

It HAD to be!

I sighed, shifting my gaze across the room, following the noise that had been overpowering my senses for hours. The loud giggling of the three owners was beyond aggravating-- the Hatter, March Hare, and Dormouse going on about nonsense as they sampled their own supply. Ugh. Not only was it annoying, it also wasn’t a sound business practice, was what it was! You don’t make money, even if buying in bulk, if you’re the ones drinking most of the product. It was illogical, an unrealistic practice.

Mad, even.

Typical tact of loons that the likes of the Big Bad Wolf just couldn’t seem to shake. 

“Norman, are you even LISTENING to what I’m saying?”

I’d been caught. I hadn’t heard a word Felix had said for what I assumed had been an hour or better. But like any trained detective, I was ready to make the best of a bad situation-- using only my wit and razor sharp communication skills.

“Of course, heard every word, the garden, mhm.”

Felix stared at me, squinting and frowning. and I stared back. As a rule of thumb, a good detective also rarely backs down, even when the odds are not in their favor.

“Lucky guess.”

My stubborn defiance had paid off, this time. As well as my in-depth understanding of my roommate. I could read this guy like a book, predict his every move.

So how I had let him drag me here in the first place was a mystery even a great detective such as myself was unlikely to solve.

“Norman, you seem a little on edge this evening. Is everything alright?”

I felt myself wince and clench my teeth as a tea cup from the mad trio’s little tea party went whizzing past my head and shattered against the wall behind me.

“Who, me, nooo, I’m having a great time.”

Felix, perhaps as nutty as the other fruitcakes in the joint, merely sipped his tea as this all went down. The guy followed by furrowing his brows with a look of pity.

“This is about not having any cases, isn’t it? I’m sorry, baby, really I am.” 

That was when my roommate leaned across the table, gently placing a hand on top of mine. He patted it in a way a grandmother might after you told her you dropped your cookie down a manhole-- old croons cooing out promises that everything was going to be alright.

I wasn’t sure I liked it, truth be told. I snatched my hand back, glaring at the guy for patronizing my person. Felix didn’t seem to notice, as he carried on his yapping.

“Maybe it would help if we put an ad in the paper? You’d like that; strum up some more business, yeah? Daddy knows the owner of the Anderson Chronicle, and I’m sure he could place one by morning tomorrow. Have people lining up for miles!”

At this I scoffed, still rubbing my hand as I glowered into my cooled cup of tea. My amber reflection glared back, as we both grumbled at the idea.

“I don’t want your daddy doing me any favors. And… and I don’t want ads! It makes me sound so desperate! Like I’m some offbeat nobody begging for scraps!” 

This was a whine, and I knew it. But I couldn’t help it! Felix was right, after all-- I was beginning to crawl up the wall from not having anything to do! If I wasn’t solving a case, I wasn’t being a detective. And if I wasn’t being a detective, then I wasn’t being the Big Bad Wolf. And if I wasn’t being the Big Bad Wolf…

I didn’t know who I was.

The fox across the table must have been skilled in reading me as well-- as he ‘humphed’ softly at my dramatic decline of his proposition.

“Really now, Norman. Be reasonable, would you? You can’t just constantly expect cases to come running through the door! That’s not how life WORKS, hun.”

As if on a spectacularly timed cue, the door to the tea shop suddenly burst open, the place now filled with the cries of ... children? Everyone in the joint turned to stare at the three kids.

“Someone help!” The first cried out.

“I want my mommy!” The next wailed.

“She’s missing!” blubbered the third.

I couldn’t believe it! Weeks of nothing, and then just like that, a case! It was what I needed to get me out of this rut ... and out of this awful tea shop, to boot.

“Well here I stand corrected.” I heard Felix mutter; but, I had more important things to worry about now! I leapt from my seat and hurried over to calm the quavering kids.

“There, there! You’re fine. I’m here!” I assured them. They, at the very least, stopped their blubbering for the time being, to look up at me.

“Who are you?” one of them asked.

“Me? Why, I’m the Big Ba- uh.” Perhaps my usual name wasn’t the best choice for this particular situation. “You can call me, Detective.”

The little girl gasped, clearly impressed, perhaps even a little starstruck.

“Are you a real detective? Like on the television?”

“You betcha, kid. And don’t you worry, finding missing mothers just so happens to be one of my best skills.”

My good cheer was instantly soured by the approach of a parade of patrons popping my personal bubble.

“Perhaps we should call the police?” Asked an older woman, holding her spectacles like one might hold opera glasses. I was then pushed to the side by a bigger and burlier fellow, his bulk knocking me down with an unceremonious ‘oof’. 

“Where did you see your mother last, kids?” He asked gruffly, placing a hand on the smallest shoulder.

“Take some more tea, “ the March Hare said to the children earnestly, as his madcap counterpart did his best to thrust a whole teapot in their collective faces.

My pal Felix was busy helping me clamber back onto my feet, as I saw this all take place. The children looked terrified! Eyes wide, body trembling and the like. And a quick glance at the door showed there were other kids lurking, their goat faces appearing just as afraid as the older siblings in the room. And instead of doing anything of value, these people thought cornering them was the way to go? Where was the justice in that!

Oh, it all made my blood BOIL, let me tell ya!

With a stroke of inner fire within my being, I tore myself away from the grasp of my friend. Felix gasped, startled, as I squeezed myself in between the pack and the petrified progeny.

“Alright, back up! ” I barked, putting the ‘bad’ in ‘Big Bad Wolf. I glared at the room of full grown idiots. “ What in the name of Mother Goose is WRONG with you people?! Don’tcha see you’re SUFFOCATING them?”

I was huffing and puffing by this point, hat askew during all the commotion. It was then I noticed the kids clutched against my coat, and I momentarily found myself softening. However, there wasn’t time for me to play parent. What I needed was to look for clues before the trail went cold! I made eye contact with my number two, gesturing for him to come closer with a nod of my head.

“Felix, you watch the kids. Including the ones by the door. I’m going to investigate the crime scene.”

I pulled out my trusty magnifying glass from within my breast pocket, already heading towards the exit, when I stopped and quickly turned on my heel.

“And don’t call the cops! A REAL detective is on the case!”

And with that, I was off.

He was staying inside the cafeteria, casting his gaze on the window next to him and watching the scene outside while sipping on his warm coffee, before turning his sight again to the newspaper in hand, surrounded by both of his baby ghosts, who seemed strangely calm, instead of taking turns to bug him while he had to shove them away in irritation.

Chapter 1

As she went to find a good seat to wait in, she felt a twinge of guilt; it was just so tawdry, somehow, stealing from a library. But getting a library card here was out of the question for a number of reasons…

So this character is supposed to be this highly trained spy. Yet she’s stealing from a library? Like girl, if you don’t know how to give a fake address to get a library card… You probably deserved that hit on your head. 

Common sense, and she probably would have seen through the ploy without help, but it didn’t hurt that the same ploy had been used once in a novel she’d stolen.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but like… you don’t have to steal books from the library. There are literally places where you can exchange MONEY for BOOKS! What a wild concept, am I right? Somebody should open up one of those places. 

Maybe tomorrow, after her tired brain had rebooted. Surrounded by her web, she slept.

Chapter 1 summary: So meet Chris. She will have many name changes over the course of this book, so don’t worry about remembering this name. She’s some sort of spy/assassin who was burnt, and is now on the run. 

We join her story as she schleps 3+ hours to go to a random library, where she will check her email. She does this because working at McD’s isn’t going to keep her in supply of things like fake IDs and chemicals. She gets an email from an old co-worker that she used to like, but she’s instantly suspicious. He claims that they’ve “changed the policy”, but also says that people are going to die if she doesn’t help. Without thinking about it, Chris arranges a meeting with him in the near future. And then she leaves as quickly as possible, since she’s certain that they’ll converge on her location within seconds. 

Following this, all and any plot goes flying out the window, despite the fact that the 10 page chapter isn’t even halfway over. On the way home, she thinks about how sometimes she thinks that death might be restful. But she’s obviously not looking to be murdered by her former employers. This line of thinking is way more interesting than what comes next.

She takes 6+ hours to get back to where she’s been living. After info dumping about the obvious security she’s put around the house (bars on the windows and such {literally none of it is important}), the book then will not shut up about her not-so-obvious traps to stay alive. Her setting up a fake dummy in the bed, and preparing a mysterious mystery chemical that’ll release a toxic gas, and her sleeping in a gas mask in her bathtub. 

Never mentioned is why we, the readers, should give a shit about ANY of this.

Some TBD to make my day a little better??

11/20/24 WIP Wednesday (Closed) | TBD AU

Andrew does not kill his brother.

He does ignore his brother and does lean in for another kiss from Neil before the two of them go to the hospital for Andrew to be re-checked in. It’s certainly not the last kiss he gets to give Neil that day, or even that hour. He’s remembered that there is no better way to get his brother to stop talking to him than to make out with Neil. So Aaron stops trying to talk with him, keeps his eyes firmly out of the backseat, and cranks the music up enough that it hurts Andrew’s head but not enough to stop kissing Neil.

Time moves quickly after that as he endures various tests and his observation period. He makes it clear that he does not want Aaron or Katelyn in his room and makes it even clearer that if they try to have Neil leave then Andrew will leave against medical advice again.
