Delivered

Summary:

She works at a coffee shop.
He's a contract killer.
In what world could this ever go wrong?

Charlie Ray lives in a loop. Well, not literally. But every day is the same- wake up, work, maybe read a good rom-com book, then sleep. The cycle continues.

Vince Grimes is the complete opposite. Every day is different- a new contract, a new corpse to be dealt with. The closest thing to a routine he has is the London fog he has every morning at his local coffee shop.

When Charlie gets a text in the middle of the night, her life is turned upside down. First, she's thoroughly ticked off. Next, she's utterly alarmed. Who the hell texts someone saying they delivered a body?

Chapter Text

I was dreaming about nuggets. More specifically, the ones shaped like dinosaurs. And they were dancing. That was, until, I was jolted awake by the punchable ding of a text message. I groggily scanned the dark abyss that was my bedroom and finally found my clock- it was 3. As in, 3 in the morning. Three. Fucking. AM. I was positively pissed. Who the hell is texting me? My eyes shifted to my phone and through my blurry eyesight, I could make out a text.

 

Meet me outside. Now.

 

What in the fu-

 

                    iits 3 inthe mroning ???

 

My text was littered with typos as I tried to wake myself up and make sense of what was going on. Right now, sentences only looked strands of letters jumbled together. 

 

    I have the package.

 

Package??

 

                    im sorry, who is this?

 

You know who. 

 

I snorted in disbelief. Did this person think they were Voldemort? No, dude, I obviously don't. 

 

                you're right. i totally know who this is so thats obviously why im confused. you really got me there, sherlock. 

 

I don't have time for your games right now. Come outside. Now. 

 

                are you illiterate? 

 

I won't ask again. Now. 

 

                in any other situation, the way you're talking would turn me on. probably. most likely. but im tired as hell. now, goodnight. im getting my zzz's. toodles, weirdo.

 

Wait. So you didn't order a dead body?

 

    Suddenly, I was wide awake.
