My deep sleep was interrupted by a loud pounding on the front door that I tried to ignore. "Open up!" called the familiar voice. The buzzer sounded next, causing me to groan and push myself up from the bed. I glanced at my phone: 9:41am. Ugh, only 4 hours of sleep. Why the fuck was Izaak waking me up?
Rubbing my eyes, I stumbled to the front door and swung it open, still half asleep. Izaak stood there in a suit, much more bright-eyed and bushy-tailed than me, leaning against the door frame. His expression was serious as he flipped out his wallet and flashed the badge. "FBI, can I come in?"
"Really," I muttered, stepping to the side so he could pass. "Why is the FBI visiting me so early."
Izaak tucked his wallet back inside the jacket pocket, strolling past me as I closed the door and locked the dead bolt. "You were with Chloe last night?" he asked, turning towards me and eyebrows raising.
"You know I was, we talked about it yesterday." I yawned and stumbled back to my room, plopping back on my bed.
He pulled out something else from his pocket which I immediately recognized as the vape pen I'd given to Chloe last night. My eyes widened and heart skipped a beat. All of a sudden I felt awake.
"Does this belong to you?"
"Yeah, ha, I was wondering where that went," I said, reaching for it.
"No you weren't," he replied, holding it up out of my reach.
I plopped back down onto the bed, looking up at him with puppy eyes that I knew wouldn't work.
His head shook, staring at me in disapproval. "You gave this to Chloe."
Chewing on my lower lip, I didn't respond right away, wondering how to answer this with the least amount of problems.
