Think about it

Nessa Harper sat looking out over her balcony. She was at peace, finally at

peace. Then came the loud chime of the doorbell. Nessa let out an

aggravated growl and made her way to the door. “Oh Vanessa Harper,

how good to see you again.” “Oh David how I haven’t missed you.”, came

her snide reply. “Careful talking to a police officer like that, you could get

yourself in trouble.” “Cut the crap David, what do you want from me?”

“How do you know I want something?” he asked then paused. Nessa

slapped him hard across the face. “It has nothing to do with my abilities I

just know you too well is all.” “Well as I’m sure you can recall we do have

history.” “Wow, making  jokes, how predictable of you.” “You know me

too well Ness.” Nessa slapped him again. “Don’t you dare call me that

again, you stick with Vanessa or you leave now.” “So you are willing to

hear me out then?” “Well if you had the balls to come here and find me

again then it must be pretty important.” “As a matter of fact it is.” He said,

“And you’ll be rewarded greatly I assure you.” “I’m listening.” “Five

hundred dollars in consolidation.” “I’ll think about it.” She replied. “C’mon

nes- “ Nessa shot him a cold glare. “I mean Vanessa. I’m sure you could use

the money I mean look at this place.” He said, addressing the abandon

clock tower chamber she lived in. “I choose to live here if you must know. I

prefer a life of solitude and I’m sure you can understand my reasons.” “Fair

enough. Just promise me to think about it, will ya Vanessa.” “Your charm

doesn’t work on me anymore David.” She said sternly. “Come back to the

station and help out with a few cases. I know you have to miss it.” “You try

having this curse of mine and say that you miss it.” “Just think about it

Vanessa.” He replied. Vanessa nodded and showed him the way out. The

second that she closed the door memories flooded back to her. She

remembered her days working at the police station and her days dating

David, before her powers had led her to the conclusion that he had been

cheating on her. She had seen terrible murders and felt the pain of the

victims. She had been strong. Stronger than any officer she had known, but

she felt helpless now. As much as she wanted to deny David’s pleas, she

felt called back, not to him but to the station. Something was wrong, and

she was going to find out what.
