Peter is 34.

Peter is a hardworking detective for the Arlington County Police Department. He was promoted three years ago and takes his job very seriously. Prior to his employment with the police department he spent several years in the Marines, serving in both Afghanistan and Iraq. He's always so busy working he rarely has time to enjoy a nice meal and usually ends up eating whatever he's managed to burn in the microwave after a long hard day.

After the divorce Peter kept mostly to himself but it's been 6 years since he and Julia went separate ways. She messed him up real bad - and now he's got serious trust issues and a fear of commitment. He doesn't want to be in that situation ever again. He heard from a friend of a friend that she's off in California, clean and sober and he's happy for her but still feels a sense of resentment for what she put him through - she almost cost him his career after-all. He finally decided it was time to get back out there and signed up for a dating website where he met Jada but things aren't going so well. She is very clingy and seems a little too immature for him - maybe the age difference is too much for him to handle. She's already brought up marriage and they've only gone out twice! He's also not fond of that brother of hers... Peter used his powers at work to look him up and he seems to have quite a RAP sheet. Guess we'll have to see how that one plays out.

 A recent case has been taking up a lot of his time - as they usually do - He's been on the case for several days without a single lead. It was as if something or someone was acting against him, predicting his every move. The officer on patrol that night was of little to no help.

Peter decided to head downtown and speak to someone who might have seen something that night. He approached one of the bartenders at Midnight Flows thinking he might know something... you know the eyes and ears of the establishment. Will, a young twenty-something bartender who didn't seem to know nothing about nothing seemed real nervous speaking with the detective. "Look man, I just make the drinks..." was all her could really get out of this guy. After a little pressure he finally nodded over to the corner where a mysterious woman stood.

It was Lila Hourvitz. She was the type of dame who knew things... the undercurrents of the city, the word on the street - and she told Detective Davis that some "big deal" package was to be delivered to the doorman at the Cryptonite club in one weeks time - but you didn't hear it from me she smirked. Some people would call her clairvoyant, but Peter was a skeptic, still he had to take her word for it since he had nothing else to go on.

Exactly one week later, he found himself downtown on a cold and blistery spring evening at was just starting to get dark. After speaking with the undercover officer he debated whether to sneak in through the club's backdoor or up the fire escape to a dimly lit window, left open despite the cold...

Jordan and Christian are 28

Jordan and Christian have been roommates for almost a decade - if you can believe that. They met their first year at the University of Arlington where they lived in the same dorm, Crawford Hall. Oh the memories they have of those four years. They even pledged the same fraternity in Spring of 2012. (Go Delta Chi!) 

After graduating with a degree in criminal justice Jordan continued his education through an online program to specialize in forensic science. He has been working along side the Arlington County Police Department as a crime scene investigator. The work is challenging but rewarding - he really enjoys solving cases and helping the police apprehend criminals.

Christian also graduated with a degree in science and after graduation he also took classes online to further his education. He now holds a masters degree in computer science and mathematics. For the past four years he has been working as a project manager in the city. Although the two are both very focused on their careers they always manage to spend time together reminiscing about the good old days, but it seems as though their time as roommates is coming to and end.

You see, a few months back Jordan met this incredible woman, Alexis. The two hit it off immediately and have been inseparable ever since. The two make a great couple and although they have only been together for a short period of time - Jordan knows shes the one he is meant to spend the rest of his life with.

He decided to "pop" the question on a Tuesday night at the apartment. Alexis was almost in shock but she agreed right away. She can't wait to start planning her dream wedding. Flowers, a dress, bridesmaids, a venue... where to begin? The two have some serious planning to do.

Jordan loves spending his free time working out he was very athletic growing up and was even on the high school and college track team. He's always trying to convince Christian to try working out - but that's not really his thing. 

Christian hasn't always had the best track record when it comes to "the ladies" - even in his college days he spent most of his time studying or hanging out with his frat brothers. The other day when rummaging through the fridge there was such loud music playing next door. Usually he isn't one to complain but it really wasn't like Mr. Gibson to be so loud so he went next door to see what was going on.

To his surprise, it wasn't Mr. Gibson after all. In fact he almost lost his breath when this beautiful red head with bright green eyes opened the door to greet him - with a smile. Christian didn't know what to say but she introduced herself as Kaylynn and said she had just moved in about two weeks ago. I guess with everything going on he hadn't had time to notice. The two got to talking and it turns out Kaylynn's cousin also works for the same company as Christian. 

Since they both weren't busy and Jordan was out with Alexis Christian did something very out of character and invited her over to play a game of darts. His jaw almost hit the ground when she obliged. After a few rounds of darts Kaylynn headed back to her place and Christian just couldn't get her out of his mind. 

Alexis has been spending a lot of time at the apartment since the engagement. She spends the night several times a week and has begun leaving things around the apartment. Christian joked around about her kicking in for some rent. Jordan wants to start looking for houses but Alexis isn't exactly at the same stage financially and is worried about such a big purchase. They have both agreed that they want to be living together before the actual wedding, it's just a matter of figuring out where.
