Welcome to Gaia! ::

James had still no clue it was Silvia. "Nice to meet you Laura, and yes... I suppose you can call me famous. Although I still don't think of myself important enough." He kept dancing with her. For being a man who rarely danced, he was pretty good at it. She too was a great dancer and even if she wasn't James was taken aback by her beauty and how well her clothes adorned her features. "You have a different accent than those who are native to London. May I do ask from where are you?"

James chuckled at her last comment. He surely was attentive to small details but it wasn't because he was a detective, but undead because of his ex girlfriend. "Ah~ Well, you see. I'm not attentive because if my job. It's more like a skill I acquired because of a past lover." he confessed. James did many things for Silvia but at the end their differences were too much for them both.

James thought it was rude to talk about past lovers to a woman. He even thought he might bore her but she did ask so it would be considered even more rude if he didn't answer her. "Not a big secret about it. She's a detective too. Things didn't work out between her and me even though I really tried changing for her. I guess at the end our stubbornness is what separated us. Sometimes I think that if she and I had compromised... or talked things out things would have turned out differently... I'm sorry. I shouldn't be telling you all this." he sighed at first but then glanced back at her with a small modest smile. "I even learned to dance for her but we never got the chance to attend a party like this. Heh, you're my first dance partner miss." James believed he had let out too much personal information. He had to focus on his mission. The reason why he was here. I've been socializing long enough... When is the mysterious person going to show up?! he wondered.

James seemed to have forgotten again the main reason that he had come to the party. He was just having so much fun with Silvia. He was feeling an emotion that he hadn't felt in a long time. Last time he felt it was when he was still going out with Silvia. "You really are a magnificent woman, but I am afraid I must leave now. Plus, I feel like I'm betraying myself because my heart still aches for someone else. But shhh. It's a secret." he said with a wink. Of course he was talking about Silvia. If he was asked about it in the future, James would deny he said it. "See you around ma'lady." he bowed to her and soon vanished into the crowd.

The two detectives had socialized quite a bit but they hadn't done it as much time as it had been intended. So, suddenly, a shot was heard and a loud voice announced something. "Your time ran out detectives. Better time next time." said the voice. Everyone at the party looked scared because of the gun shot and because of the voice that had been talking. They had no clue of what was going on, which led to many to leave the party. James was furious. "Dammit!" he yelled as he removed his mask and threw it on the floor. Another victim and I couldn't do a damn thing about it. he thought. He went upstairs, leaving his mask behind, and began searching the rooms hoping that he would find the culprit and the victim.

James turned around as he heard a familiar voice. He suspected it to be Silvia's and he was not wrong. Much for his surprise he saw her wearing the same exact clothes of the woman he had been dancing with just a while ago. Oh, bloody hell! he thought realizing what had happened. He sighed and pretended to pretend.... "Seems like you're late my darling. Did I sweep you off your feet that badly?" he said with a smirk. Now that he was with her and knew that it was indeed Silvia, his stubborn and witty self came out. It was a complete different James than what Silvia had seen a while back.

"'It was all an act, my dear. Just like our past romance." The two of them were just too stubborn. If there were only something that would make them realize how wrong they were and how wrong they are right now. If they were together like 5 years ago, or just worked together then maybe this crime would have already been solved! I think she suspects nothing. Damn. How could I've not realized she was that woman?! I told her everything!... James sighed and decided to go have a drink at a nearby bar. He needed some scotch to ease up.
