You were nicknamed ‘The Winter Killer’ well technically not directly towards you. During the winters in Jackson people would go missing left and right, it wasn’t an everyday occurrence that they’d see a small blood streak in the snow and follow the trail to a body under the snow, but it was as often as maybe two body’s every three weeks. Though, your bestest friend in the whole entire city wants to investigate, without telling you anything besides that she’s ’thinking about it’ she takes time out of her day to invest in this extreme mystery soon to uncover the side job of her best friend..

“Ellie I gotta get going, Seth needs me to be in today.” You pushed away from her hug.

“Oh come on, the only thing you do is wash tables and hand people French fries. Your only 19 so he’s not gonna have you serve beer.” She groaned, face planting into her bed.

“Yeah but I also get to take all the tips home and give Joel his ‘split pay’ rent for Sharing a garage with you. Honestly I don’t know why he doesn’t just make me pay you but..” you cross your arms, taking a hand to your chin and question your sentence.

“Pleaseee, we have to work on my investigation project!” She hollered, putting her hands over her eyes dragging her hands down dramatically as her callouses caught onto her face skin.

“What investigation..?” You went dead silent after your question, looking her dead in the eyes. The lighting on your face made your face look dark.

“The Winter killer project i was telling you about last night—“

“I was half dead asleep last night! Ellie! You—“

“Why are you freaking out over this? It’s no biggie, I’m just curious. This is all for fun.”

“Ellie— I’m gonna be late for work, I’ll see you later around 10.”

“Mhm? Okay,” she watched you leave. “Bring me French fries!” Ellie yelled out the door.

Soon after you left she took an old makeup box out from under her bed and in it was tons of the crime scene photos, she took all the pictures off her bulletin board and started piecing everything together.

“So if a body was just murdered two days ago.. that means maybe, and most likely the killer will strike again tonight.” Ellie tapped the pen to her scar on her lip. She looked outside to see that it started snowing, she walked closer to the window to see if she would be able to see anything, “not much going on.. wait— hm.. where’s Pablo going with danni.. oh, just giving him money, well that’s not eventful is it..”

Ellie got her boots on and shut the door, your footprints slowly being covered by the light sparkle of fresh snowfall, she looked around the garage and took the appearance closely like she was destined to find something.. and there it is, a swipe of brown paint? No no, barbeque sauce, or Dried blood? She went back inside to grab her camera and took a picture, before the picture developed she grabbed it and put it in her pocket. Her camera swayed against her chest as it hung from a small rope around Ellie’s neck.

While Ellie was looking for clues, you went to strike. “Hey, I need help with something.” You said to a man standing alone puffing on a cigar.

“Sure little lady” he replied

“Here follow me, I need help lighting this little fire.”

“Hm, Okay. Is the wood too wet?” He asked

“I don’t think so, it was in a particularly dry spot under a tarp that I found next to a tree.” You led him into the woods, footprints being squished into the snow.

“Right here, see?” You pointed to the small pile of wood, a lighter right next to it.

“Yeah okay, this is easy I’ll help ya’ out.” He knelt down and suddenly let out a grunt as you hit him in the back of the head with a hammer, he went limp. His bloody face caved into the pieces of wood, you kept hitting him and hitting him.

You dropped the hammer into the snow and walked back into the city, you licked some of the blood off your finger tips, and then walked into the Tipsy Bison to clock in, before you could even say hi Seth placed a large plate in both your hands, one with a veggie burger and tater tots, the other with roasted gyro and a chicken Caesar salad.

“I have a veggie burger anddd a roasted gyro for you,” you grinned handing it to a man and woman. “Enjoy your meal, can I get you anything else before I head off?”

“No thank you this is it for me right now” the woman replied.

“I’ll take another bottle of Dom pérignon rose 2008 please.” The man asked, eye contact hard like he was looking for something specific.

“Alright then, enjoy.” You said before walking off, shoulders tense.

“Seth I need a bottle of Dom pérignon rose 2008 please—“

“Another one?! That’s the 3rd bottle tonight! It’s going to the gentleman at table 26 right?”

“Sure is.” You looked down at your notepad chewing on the cap of your pen.

The familiar melody of the doorbell that chimes when someone came in played and you looked up, it was Ellie. You came out from behind the counter and walked over to her,

“Howdy, you want anything or are you just visiting me because you can’t stand being away from me for long periods of time—“

“Oh shut your mouth, I’m here to order something.” She put her hand over your mouth, her field green eyes glared into yours, her eyelids resting. God sometimes you just wanted to take her in right there and then.

“So, what can I get for ya?” You asked while biting your inner cheeks to stop you from smiling.”

“I will take a plate of French fries-“

“Just French fries?” You slightly laughed.

“Do you do this to every customer you serve.” The rhetorical question made you giggle.

“Just you.” You leaned on the table and grinned.

“Anyways, I’ll take a small chocolate milkshake with that.”

“Do you want the cherry with it to?” You asked, looking into Her eyes.

“Sure, make sure there’s extra extra.”

“You got it captain, I’ll be out with your poor little French fries soon.” You teased her while walking away before getting a kick to your shin.

“Well fuck you to bitch.” You continued to walk away and she just sat there looking out the window when she saw Seth walk up to her through the reflection in the glass.

“Do you know why she was late tonight? Really needed her during rush hour.” He explained sitting down.

“What do you mean she was late? She left 10 minutes before her shift started—“ when some cop cars drove by it startled Ellie a little bit.

“No, she came almost 45 minutes late.” He said looking around at the customers.

Ellie started looking for you around the restaurant when you came out of the kitchen doors holding a plate of French fries and Chocolate Milkshake. When you came around the corner you set the plate and cup down before snatching a fry and looking at Seth. Ellie noticed one of your fake nails popped off at some point and wasn’t on your finger, she didn’t tell you and kept it to herself making a mental note.

“Hope you don’t do that with every customer here.” He shook his head, elbows on the table.

“Maybe I do, maybe I don’t. You’ll never find out, can I clock out a bit early? I need to shower.” You asked.

“No! You came late!” He replied in a stern manner.

“Seth! I’ll pick up an extra shift on Tuesday!” You pleaded.

“…Fine, just fine. If you're late again I’m gonna be pissed— better yet, I’ll fire you.” He grabbed a French fry and shoved it into his mouth.

“Can you guys like, leave my fries alone? These are mine unless you're paying me for eating my food.” Ellie grabbed her plate and scooted it towards her more.

“Okay bye, I’m gonna go clock out.”

“Wait a minute, you just got here. You can leave at 8, how about that?”

“Deal.” You shook on it before walking away into the kitchen.

Ellie finished her shake and fries then sat up and left, she walked around the town for a bit, kicking snow, looking for clues. She looked to the sky then the trees examining their semi leaves and noticed some footprints in the snow leading into the surrounding woods of the town. She decided to follow them, slowly to not mess with the many footprints and that’s when she saw blood? The dead body.. her hammer next to it. What was that in the snow when she turned around looking at the blood soaked snow, your missing nail. Ellie picked up her camera and took a photo shoving the undeveloped Polaroid into her coat pocket, her face in disbelief. Her thoughts were racing with different questions, seeing fresh blood in the snow was a shocker, she had never seen this before, never been so close to a fresh corpse. Why was her hammer and your nail in the snow? She grabbed her phone and called 911, before the police arrived she took many pictures for her bulletin board, for proof.. this was The Winter Killers newest victim, she already has a suspect and it was You…
