Criminal

Aiden turned his head to the right to take a look at Ethan, making the wind slightly mess up his hair. He nudged Ethan in the side with his elbow, giving him a warning glance.

Aiden was always one to keep our team trio in check, whereas Ethan was always stubborn and not afraid to speak his mind. If he had a problem with something, he wouldn’t be afraid to show it.

Though Ethan had a point. It’s a murder and they don’t even show any respect. It’s quite rude, but then again, part of my job as an agent is to see things from another perspective.

I spoke as we slowly descended down the stairs to the busting streets of New York, “Not that I don’t agree, but it’s their job. Cut them some slack.”

“OK, I get that, but, like, why us?” Ethan asked, flailing his arms around.

“Hmm, let’s see…” I put my finger on my chin and pretended to think, “We’ve been working in this industry for a year now, we nailed every single case, and, not to mention, we’re only in our late teens, whereas almost every other agent is like, 30!”

This caused Ethan to lightly chuckle, “You know, I’ve always loved your sarcasm.”

I smiled arrogantly and rubbed it I his face. Ethan gave comments very rarely so when he did, I made sure he didn’t forget it.

“I know you do. Who wouldn’t love me?”I voiced, resulting him to roll his eyes.

“I’ve also always hated your arrogance,” he stated.

This caused me to laugh whole-heartedly, “Better get used to it, then.”

As we slowly reached the bottom of the stairs, Aiden interrupted our small bickering, “How about, instead of fighting over such a small thing, you two think about how we’re going to get out of here. There’s thousands of papz in our way.”

He was right; all the people were crowding around us at the bottom of the stairs and to the sides of the railings. I wouldn’t say thousands, but definitely a couple hundred pedestrians and cameramen were hording us.
I gave a quick sigh as I took out my cell phone and dialed my slightly younger sister.

“Lil, we need your help.”
