As soon as Liam walked in, he fed his cat, Mortem and then rushed over to his computer.
Time to write up a story from today’s incident.
Mortem walked around Liam’s feet as he typed up what happened, only stoping once to grab a tea and some toast before working again.
"Meow… Merrrrow."
"Ginger! C'mere kitty-kitty," Kasey called over her shoulder to the calico cat. Ginger pranced over and rubbed against Kasey's legs, and she bent down to pet her.
Trying to ignore Mortem’s meows and calls for attention, Liam eventually sent the email of the story to his boss before picking his cat up.
“You’re an attention seeker, you know that right?” Liam sighed, “Who am I kidding, you’re just a cat, and a cute one at that.”
Kasey smiled and sat down on the floor to pet the cat. After a while, her stomach started rumbling, so she scratched behind Ginger's ears one more time and stood.
"Sorry, Ging, but I've gotta eat," Kasey apologized as she started looking for food.
Liam hummed to himself and ordered himself a pizza. After putting his shoes back on, he headed back out to pick up his food. Now he thought about it, he should haave ordered the pizza for delivery.
Kasey pulled out ingredients to make spaghetti, then set about doing so. She pulled her phone out and put some music on, dancing around the kitchen a bit as she cooked.
Liam walked past the crime scene from earlier on the way to collect his food. He stopped for a few minutes and took some photos on his phone as he didn’t have his better camera. He frowned and continued on his quest for food.
Kasey had almost finished making her food when her arm suddenly started to hurt. She pulled her sleeve up to look at it, grimacing when she saw the large, darkening bruise.
"Owww…"
Once the pizza was in Liam’s hands and he was heading home, he was stopped when he felt something in his pocket. Whirling around, he found a guy in a black mask trying to pick pocket him. Before he could say anything, he was punched in the face.
Kasey bit her lip and gently brushed her fingers over the bruise, wincing when it hurt. She quickly finished her food, put it in the fridge for later, and rushed over to her bathroom to find something to put on the bruise.
Liam stumbled backwards and his pizza fell out of his hands. He swore colourfully before being punched again and hitting the ground, “Hey! What the heck man!”
As soon as she had gotten cream put on her bruise and eaten some food, Kasey decided to go for a walk. She walked past the pizza place and saw Liam on the ground, a box of pizza next to him and another guy standing over him.
"Hey, what's going on here?" she asked, walking over.
The guy took his gaze from Liam to Kasey and in those few moments, Liam kicked the guy in the stomach, sending him flying back. Liam stood and the other guy turned and ran.
“He tried to pick pocket me. When I noticed he.” He indicated to the bruise forming on his left eye.
"Oh. Oh, wow. Gosh," Kasey reached over to lightly touch the area around Liam's eye. "I've got something that might help with that. Do you want me to bring it over to your apartment, or you could come get it at my place."
“Oh, um,” Liam rubbed at his neck, “You can bring it over to mine if you want,” He laughed a little, “Good thing I wasn’t wearing my glasses.”
Kasey nodded. "All right. I'll do that. Um… Do you need any help or anything?" she offered.
Liam shook his head, “No, I think I’m good. Just whatever you deem will help the bruise.” He said, picking up the pizza, which luckily hadn’t fallen out the box, “Still good.”
(Oh my gosh, I just watched the funniest video…)
"Okay. Well, I'm going to head back to my place and grab that stuff. I'll walk over as soon as I've got it," Kasey said.
(Aha, what was is??)
Liam smiled, “Alright, cool. Let’s go then.” Liam led Kasey back to the apartments which didn’t take too long, “I’ll leave the door unlocked so just let yourself in when your ready.”
(Collins Key's wisdom teeth removal.)
"Got it. I'll just be a second," Kasey said, giving Liam a small smile before she walked into her apartment to grab the cream.
(Okay)
Liam nodded and walked into his apartment, Mortem getting under his feet and nearly making him trip. Grabbing a slice of pizza,he quickly scanned his emails for a response from his boss. Nothing just yet.
Kasey quickly grabbed a smaller container of the cream she had used earlier, then dashed across the hall. She knocked on the door, simply to be polite, then stepped inside.
"Hey, I'm here."
Liam looked over and smiled,
“Hey. Wait, let me go take my contacts out.” He said, turning to go to the bathroom to take his contacts out, leaving his computer on.
Kasey's gaze flitted to the computer, and she briefly saw a word that looked like "Kinisie" on the screen.
What is he doing? she wondered, tearing her eyes away to keep herself from looking at it further.
Liam came back in and pushed his glasses up his nose, smiling softly.
“Alright, what’s this miracle solution you have?” He asked walking over to Kasey.
