There was a noise, a very distracting noise that was making it very difficult for him to continue focusing on work.
Not his work, technically. The work of the Valesport Police Department's Paranormal Forensic Unit, but here he was looking at awful pictures.
They were awful in both content and composition. They needed a better photographer.
Oh. Right, the knocking that he had forgotten about. Somehow. He looked down at the time nestled in the corner of his computer screen, the store was closed which should have been duly noted on the posting on his front door.
His brow knitted as he tried to think back on the number of knocks.
Three. Which mean that it was someone he knew. Or a friend or family member of someone he knew. Or a friend of family member of someone they knew because it turned out his friends and family members were awful at keeping things to themselves.
He briefly pondered on the broom.
He looked at the time again, another minute had passed since he realized he'd sort of been ignoring the visitor on his porch.
Which was very rude. Shit.
He pushed up his glasses, needlessly adjusting the crystals around his wrist as he finally proceeded down the stairs. He opened the door quickly, but only far enough to peer around it, pushing back his mess of curls as he did so, which did nothing to hide the fact that he'd taken the stairs two at a time.
She was not what he was expecting. Whoever she was. Immediately noticeable that she was not like his usual patrons. She wore a halo of smoke and wild curls in a backdrop if the setting sun. Small, but not fragile. At least he hoped she wasn't with all the negative energy she was carrying around with her.
"Can I help you?" he asked, opening the door fully and standing in the opening. Half-formed and hazy memories of his youngest sister mentioning that she would try to find him a new shop assistant before she left for college echoed briefly. "Or did Angie send you?"
