" I think you have forgotten who your boss is, I don't need a warrant, I am the warrant, you will go investigate it tomorrow, I will send you a team to help you out "
well that was unexpected
" I understand "
" Miyeon "
Nephhsthys called for him
" Yes ? "
" Don't forget to dress up nicely "
" ? "
Why should I dress nicely at the crime scene ?
Miyeon was confused but soon after realized what she had meant
" Yes, of course "
the ball was a few days away, he had completely forgotten but tried to play it cool
" You forgot "
but he knew better than to try and fool the all knowing Nephthys
" chough, chough "
he tried to play it off by fake coughing to lessen the embarrassment nevertheless it was almost impossible to lessen his embarrassment while his boss who suffered from alexithymia was giving him the judging stare
Miyeon sat down behind his desk avoiding eye contact
" I will work hard "
he wanted to show her thumb up to sustain his claim, however since he was not looking in front of him as to not accidentally look into her eyes….which were still staring at him, his hand pushed into his cup of tee witch then presided to fall across the table and on the floor, so now he had to go up before her and clean it up. Miyeon still refused to make eye contact
while doing all that. Nephthys never stopped judging him silently as he was picking up the pieces of his once whole cup
*****
" If our hypothesis is correct…..?"
Miyeon and Nephthys were now walking back home, however even on the way they were still technically working
" yes….? "
She wanted to know what he had to say so she encouraged him to tell her
" The killing has been going for quite a few years now and it does not look like it's going to stop anytime soon…."
"....."
Nephthys was patiently waiting for Miyeon to share his concerns
" That guy must've loved that person a lot for him to go this far…."
" And your point is….? "
" Well ... .it's kinda sad ... .I bet he is all alone and miserable…."
"...."
Nephthys first looked at him and then smiled in an amused way
" Are you trying to make fun of me ? "
They were in front of the gate already so Miyeon walked faster and left her behind
" Wait, wait "
But Nephthys still amused kept following him inside, her smile soon turned into laughter
Miyeon would've just kept walking but he stopped and turned around to look at her….this was the first time he had ever seen her smile but she was now even laughing, he was in a state of shock
" Alright, I am sorry. It's just that I have been working for a very long time in this domain and I have never encountered someone who pities a serial…serial…."
Nephthys was gonna say serial killer but could not continue because of laughter
" bwahaha "
And she exploded
" Stop laughing at me ! "
While in the middle of the conversation or rather said in the middle of Nephthys making fun of Miyeon someone jumped out of nowhere right behind Nephthys and covered her mouth with his hand
Due to the unexpected attack Miyeon was ready to fight but Nephthys didn't even flinch because she knew long before he even appeared who it was, Miyeon also calmed down once he properly saw his face and sighed in disbelieve
" Avner just what…"
Miyeon was stopped mid sentence by an agitated Avner
" YOU..You…How dare you ! "
Miyeon was confused, why was he screaming at him
" How dare you two flirt in broad daylight ?! "
" flirt….? "
Now Miyeon was even more confused, so he looked at Nephthys, whose mouth was still covered by Avners hand
Seeing how Nephthys was not reacting and Avner still giving him dirty looks he too got angry
" What the hell….? "
Avner completely ignored his cousin and turned to face Nephthys
He put his hands on her shoulders and looked at her with a hurt expression
" Why would you do this to me…? "
He then dramatically put his hand on his heart and looked up at the sky and asked god
" What have I done to deserve such betrayal ? "
" What the actual fuck…."
Miyeon could only think his cousin went insane for real this time
Avner put his hand back on her shoulder and looked into her eyes again
" How could you never smile at me but decided to laugh, with this joke of a man ? "
Nephthy still looked as unimpressed as ever, Miyeon on the other hand….
" Joke? A Joke ? "
He was ready to throw hands
" Wow, wow, wow, wow "
From afar Amabilis saw that things were not looking good so he ran as fast as he could and caught Miyeon by the waist before he could get to Avner
" You, You let me down, I'm gonna show this monkey how much of a joke i am ! "
Miyeon was struggling to get out of his grip
" Calm down "
While Amabilis was struggling to hold him back
Annoyed by the situation Miyeon managed to turn around so he was now facing Amabilis, then started to hit him
" Ow, why are you hitting me now ? "
Amabilis was holding his head, where his cousin had hit him
