even though it was supposed to be a compliment Miyeon couldn't help but feel offended
" You thought my good reputation was an exaggeration ? "
" I didn't think anything of it actually, I don't have an opinion until I see with my own eyes, then I make my own conclusions "
" You have a way of getting yourself out of any situation I see, what a smooth talker "
Miyeon commented and Nephthys only smiled in response before changing the subject
" What do you think this tattoo is ? "
Miyeon got serious as well
" I don't know, I have never seen it before "
" Draw it on a piece of paper then look for it. Meaning, gang, origins "
Nephthys commanded
" I understand "
" This could help us to find the killers next victim "
" I agree "
Miyeon was thinking the same thing
" But how exactly do we do that ? "
" The victims are all people of importance, politicians. I assume the rest of the group are from the same category of people. So how do you get people of status to come out ? "
Nephthis asked Miyeon
" A ball "
and he gave her a response
" That is correct. A ball will bring anyone out, whether they want it or not "
Miyeon silently agreed
" Don't let the information out about what we have just found out yet at least not until after the ball "
Miyeon knew that if the information got out about the tattoo then it may compromise the mission so he agreed
" We will be looking for next victims at the ball, if you find one, tell me. We will then tail that person twenty four seven and see what we can find "
" Understood "
" That would be all. Now I have left my student buried under the books. It is time for me to check and make sure he hasn't suffocated under them. You go find information about the tattoo "
Nephthys commanded and left the morgue leaving Miyeon all alone
Miyeon decided to stay a little longer there to be able to study the tattoo they all had, hoping he my perhaps find some more clues that could help him identify it

Nephthys was expecting Avner to have fallen asleep or just leave but surprisingly he was studying diligently, seeing him like that she didn't want to disturb him so she just watched from afar….or at least that's what she thought she was doing when suddenly Avner exclaimed in horror
" Holly shit you scared me ! "
his hand on his chest making sure his heart wasn't going to jump out
Nephthys was confused as to how she had scared him
" Did I….scare you ? "
she asked
" Did I scare you ? "
Avner repeated after her before continuing
" You are standing on the window frame watching over me like some kind of demon ! "
Avner didn't stop his explanation there
" Did I forgot to mention it is as dark as hell outside AND THIS ROOM IS ON THE THIRD FLOOR "
" So yeah….you did scare me "
unlike the whole time he was talking, the last sentence was said rather calmly
after hearing Avners statement Nephthys decided to apologize, she did not realize that her actions may be rather terrifying to other people
" I apologize about that "
" It's alright…."
after accepting her apology Avner finally asked what he had been curious the whole day today
" Where have you been ? "
The question came out more possessive then he had intended to, realizing that he cleared his throat
Nephthys didn't think too much of his actions so she replayed his question in the same way she always did
" I was with Miyeon "
Nephthys didn't feel like explaining everything in detail so she just shortened her replay but what she didn't realize is that her words could be easily misunderstood and that's exactly what Avner did
Avner felt very jealous of the fact that she had spent the whole day with Miyeon today. The more he thought about it the angrier he got, his blood was boiling and then it happened….the table he had his hands on caught on fire taking him by surprise
" WOAH ! "
even though he was surprised by the sudden fire he still stood up from where he was sitting and ran to Nephthytis side of the table and hugged her in a protective way, his back facing the fire….but just like in any other situation Nephthys was completely unfazed by the situation. She slowly pushed him away so that he would let her go
" Step aside "
with a single hand motion Nephthys put out the fire, it disappeared like it was never there to begin with
Avner already knew by now that Nephthys is strong so the fact that she so effortlessly put out the fire did not surprise him but what had increased his blood pressure was something else
" Looks like you have a fiver again "
Nephthys put the palm of her hand on his forehead
Avner could hear his pulse beating and beating and beating. It was so loud that, that was the only thing he could hear
" You got all red, you should get some rest before it gets worst "
Nephthys now put both her palms on each cheek trying to cool his fever down a little with her powers
But Avner knew best. The fire, the redness and even the hotness of his body….had nothing to do with him having a fever….
Nephthys took her hands off his cheeks and the moment she did that despite the blood boiling inside his body he felt particularly cold
" Go rest, I'll clean here "
