(Let's start)
It was a jewelery store this time, only thing stolen was a little
earring. Interesting thing about this robbery was that store
owner's grandfather did it....the grandfather who's been dead for
36 years. People accused the owner of staging the robbery himself
for some reason, some even think he's went crazy.
Mike sat in the recording room, where they were taking a look at
the CCTV footage. The agents were sent there in a hurry and the
footage was taken in before it could be seen by public. There was
enough evidence in there to blame a shapeshifters. Now they had to
look for his whereabouts, it was the only part that was hard.
~I have loved the stars too fondly to be
fearful of the night~
Angel knocked on the open door of Mike's office, a cup tray in her
hand with two coffees. "Hey, brought you a cuppa since you're
taking one for the team and watching the videos..." She smiled
slightly as she brought it in and set it down letting him pick from
the two, her eyes on the screen. "Seen anything that could help the
case?"
"Well, the culprit takes the earring, the shopkeeper is in too
great of a shock to stop him." he explained as he took a cup and
started sipping the coffee. Mike then shifted the view to the
second camera, "Our robber friend then goes out, runs to the left
of the shop and takes the third turn right" he said as the
diminished image of the man disappears to the right of the
screen.
He then took another sip of the coffee and continue "that path goes
to the southe-eastern part of the town, it's the only info I got
from this footage, there are 28 households in that area, we need to
interrogate them all for any new neighbour, strange happenings or
mysterious man they might have seen" he sighed as he sank in his
chair for some rest, "thanks for the coffee though"
~I have loved the stars too fondly to be
fearful of the night~
Angel nodded every time Mike explained the route the culprit took.
"That's gonna be fun. You up for any of that today? I could go get
started and you could join in later..." She leaned her hip against
the desk to take a bit of weight off her feet as she took a few
sips of coffee. "Wait, didn't one of the rooks come from one of
those apartments near there? We could ask him if he saw
anything..."
Mike sat straight and listened to Angel, he then sat silent for a
while, thinking about something. "Well, then you go to the town for
interrogation and I will meet the other guy you talked about" he
finally said breaking a brief moment of silence. "Let's just
identify this shapeshifters and get it over with....I have a
feeling our shapeshifting friend isn't a criminal of any sorts" he
paused for a while, "So when do you plan to go there? Also, be sure
to check the case files again, I added a few things to them"
~I have loved the stars too fondly to be
fearful of the night~
"I can go in a couple hours... It's a bit early and I'd like people
to be awake when I knock, that way I don't get grumpy people."
Angel looked up at the clock and sighed. "Did you even get home
last night? If not, at least tell me you camped out on the couch...
Well, I'll go check the case files and catch up." She patted his
shoulder and headed off to check the files. It was 5:17 AM and soon
the bustle of the day shift would be taking over from the night
shift.
Mike took a look at the clock hanging on right side of him. He
pulled an all nighter to make the calculation of culprit's action
because the video had a lower resolution than what others had
experience working with. "Maybe I can use a little break for
now.....I have a whole day to complete other work" he sank back
into his chair and closed his eyes to take a bit of rest.
~I have loved the stars too fondly to be
fearful of the night~
When Mike next awoke, his coat was laying over him and there was a
note on his desk. You really need to take better care of
yourself. There's some Chinese food in the fridge with your name on
it. Don't make the threats I gave, to anyone who might touch it,
empty. ~ Renae The clock on the wall now read 3:42 PM.
Angel had read the files and had started working the neighborhood
asking people if they'd seen or heard anything that would help
their case.
Mike got up in bit of a hurry after looking at the clock and rushed
out of the room. "Tsubasa Ichei report to me in my room, where are
you?" he shouted in the corridors of rather plane and old building.
A person comes out of one of the rooms, he stood 5'8" tall, almost
same height as Mike, maybe a little taller, one could tell from
just looking at him that he spends half of his day training, he
looked perfectly fit......not that Mike was looking any less scary
with all his hair messed up and dark circle around his eyes. "I
need to interrogate you, come with me to my room" he said as he
turned towards his room, Tsubasa quietly followed him, it was
evident from his face that he has no idea of what was going on.
As Angel went from door to door in the town, a tall, skinny person
looked at her from one of the windows.
~I have loved the stars too fondly to be
fearful of the night~
Angel was always very polite when it came to asking door to door,
and took notes on everyone she was in contact with. Who they were,
where they lived, and if they saw anything, and if so when and
where did they go. The building that was next was the one that the
tall, skinny person was in, and she went up to the corresponding
apartment and knocked on the door gently. She presented herself as
calmly as possible and kept her demeanor pleasant.
"So you noticed nothing unusual?" it had been 20 minutes and he had
no new leads on the shapeshifter. "No, nothing that I can think of"
replied Tsubasa replied, Mike looked a little disappointed, maybe
it would've been better to go to the town with Angel. "Come on, try
to remember, even a little detail that felt kinda off?" Mike asked
for a last time, "now that you remember....." Tsubasa said, Mike
got a certain glow on his face, maybe this wasn't a total watse of
time.
Yeahh!" Tsubasa continued,"Mr. Watanabe lives near my apartment, he
has been acting a little oddly for last three days" Tsubasa
realised that this fact happened within same time frame as the
robbery. Both of them looked at each other for a while, "Here's his
address!" Tsubasa grabbed Mike's notepad and started writing.
The person opens the gate to see Angel standing in front of him,
"H-hello miss, do you need anything?"
~I have loved the stars too fondly to be
fearful of the night~
"Hi there, I'm agent Renae, and I'm just going around asking folks
if they've seen anything odd lately. Anything you can remember
could be helpful, a new face walking around, or maybe a car?" Angel
was very polite and her voice was gentle, as though she was talking
to an old friend. She took out her notepad and pen to take notes.
He stood silent for a second, as if thinking what to say, he seemed
a little scared even when Angel was being gentle with him. "Odd?
Why would I notice something odd in this plain old town, it is too
boring to have something odd going on!" he said as his lips curled
into a kind of disgusting smile, at least he looked satisfied with
his own reply.
The audio earpiece of Angel started making some wierd sounds, a
clear and familiar voice was heard a couple of seconds later, "Miss
Renae, I have found a suspicious person, please investigate about a
Mister Watanabe Jouchiro, he lives in a plain old building, cream
colour, on the third floor, apartment number 14....." he looked at
his notepad to check whether he forgot to tell her something, "the
shapeshifter may be closer than you think, I will be there till you
finish interrogating him".
~I have loved the stars too fondly to be
fearful of the night~
Angel smiled politely in return not revealing that she'd just heard
something. "Oh you never know, I've been here for a while and I've
seen some pretty weird things, for instance, I go to this little
store to buy something, and I heard that that store was robbed by
someone who was supposedly dead." She chuckled slightly to show
that she wasn't taking the news that seriously and so that he had a
reaction to deal with. How he dealt with that would be important.
"Oh, I don't think I had asked for your name sir, this is just for
my report,"
He got a little stressed hearing about the robbery, he tried to
hide it, but let's just say that he was not the best actor in the
locality. He again stood silent for some seconds, gathering the
courage to speak. He was certain now that she knew about the
earring, he finally mustered up the courage to speak, "W-W-Watanabe
Jouchiro, now begone!" he yelled as he tried to slam the door shut
as quickly as possible.
~I have loved the stars too fondly to be
fearful of the night~
Angel reacted and slammed herself against the door as he tried to
close it. She'd have a sore and bruised shoulder, but she kept the
door open. "Sir, you're going to need to come with me for further
questioning." She tried to reach in and grab him to keep him from
running and potentially getting a weapon. She was stronger than she
looked, but that was mostly due to regular workout sessions.
Jouchiro tried to push the door with all his might, but was no
match for Angel, he tried to stop her for a few minutes and then
ran inside when he sensed there was no way to keep doing it
forever. He checked through his drawers in a hurry and took out a
gun and loaded it with ammo, it all took him mere seconds. He aimed
the gun at the door, and stood alert.
Mike and Tsubasa were in the process of parking their car outside
the building.
~I have loved the stars too fondly to be
fearful of the night~
Angel used the earpiece to hurry up her backup. "Agent Renae, I
need some backup up here..." She drew her pistol from the shoulder
holster and pressed herself against the wall next to the door. "I
don't want to hurt you! Just come out with your hands up!" She
hoped he would, but they almost never do, so she didn't keep her
hopes up long. Always better to be a bit pessimistic and not
disappointed than optimistic and disappointed. She would refer to
herself as an optimistic pessimist.
