Eden leaned in closer to Noel, the other man staring at him, confusion written all over his face until they heard a ‘bonk’.
“What the fuck!?” Eden shouted, turning to see Ages standing there with a plate in his hands that he used to hit Eden with. “Ages! What the hell do you think you are doing?!?”
“I get that you are excited and the atmosphere feels right, for some reason.” Ages said, putting the plate down on the table. “But we are not here for you to make out with him.”
“So mean.” Eden pouted, putting his arms around Noel’s shoulders. “Look at what I have to put up with all the time, Noel. Don’t you pity me?”
“Should I?” Noel typed out, getting a gasp from Eden.
“I thought you cared, Noel. You really hurt my feelings.” The man said, dramatically flailing his
Tilting his head to the side, Noel stared at the man, confused while the others watched in anticipation.“Idiot?” Noel typed out, heart drumming against his chest. “Why would you say that?”“That is because you really are,” Eden said, laughing.“What is the boss talking about?” Celt asked Fern, keeping his voice as low as possible.“Beats me,” Fern whispered back. “I think he is trying to look cool or something?”“How does that make him look cool?” Celt asked, voice growing a little louder. “He just looks like a jackass.”“I know, but just let him have his moment,” Fern whispered back, Eden hearing everything. As if he didn’t.“I heard the both of you! Who looks like a jackass?!” Eden shouted, glaring at them.
“Embezzlement?” Noel typed out, turning to Eden. “How bad was it? Maybe they can reach a compromise.”“Around five hundred billion,” Eden said thinking. “But that is just what we found. There may be more that we know nothing about.”“Damn.” Noel typed out. “Well, doesn’t seem like there is anything we can do. How did you not notice that amount of money stolen? And by one of your men too.”“I suppose I trusted him?” Eden said, shrugging. “But, if we don’t get your help on acquiring dirt on the man to force him into a truce, we may not be able to stop the war from breaking out.”“I think I understand now.” Noel rested his head in his hands, thinking. “But … isn’t this kind of your guys' fault? For not checking up on the man you sent to take care of their money.&rdqu
“How ya doing?” Eden asked, beaming at Noel laying on his bed, groaning as the sheets scattered around him, barely covering his body filled with marks from his neck all the way down to his thighs.Noel turned to the man, his hair falling over his face, glaring at him.“I feel amazing,” Eden said, pushing some of the man’s hair out of his face. “Ready for another round?”“Are you trying to kill me?” Noel typed out, hissing in pain as he pushed him away. “Next time I am going to be on top.”“Noel? On top of me?” Eden mumbled, pulling out a packet of cigarettes and placed one in his mouth, letting it hang there as he thought.The black-haired man’s blue eyes glazed over as he stared him down, nothing but desire written all over his face, his tongue licking the corner of his lips before he comes down
“Ok, I’ll be there,” Eden said into the phone before keeping it. Without thinking, he began biting at his finger again, trying to make sense of what was happening.Noel stared at Eden, chewing at his finger for a couple of seconds before appearing into his view, “What’s wrong?”“Ah! Shit!” Eden almost jumped away seeing Noel appear like that suddenly. “You scared me!”“Sorry.” The man typed out, hair completely messy as it stuck out on all ends.“It’s fine. You didn’t do anything wrong.” Eden said, ruffling the man’s hair even more. “That shouldn’t have surprised me as much as it did.”“You seemed panicked.” Noel typed out, pushing down some hair sticking up. “Care to tell me?”“It seems that two people died in
“How did something like this happen?” Ages asked, looking over the two bodies piled on top of each other on the ground, blood scattered everywhere.“In the middle of the road too.” A woman in a police uniform said, walking to them. Her deep red hair was tied in a braid and hanging off her shoulder as she stared at the two on the ground, clicking her tongue.A number of police and people in casual clothing stood in the middle of the road, police lines littered all around the place to keep the people out as a small crowd formed around the area.“In the busiest street too,” Fern said watching as the men in uniform began to chase the people away, one by one. “They clearly want to send a message and make sure it gets delivered.”“Well, they did a good job at that.” The woman in uniform said, a scowl coming on her face. “Do we know who they
“Wait. What?” Eden asked, looking at Ages, his eyes widening.“What’s wrong?” Ages asked but Eden only held the phone up and placed it in loudspeaker.“Can you say that again, honey?” He asked and they heard shuffling in the background before the automated voice began again.“Am I in loudspeaker?”“Yes.”“Ok, listen carefully. The two girls are Mia and Alice. They go to Hotori High and are both sixteen years old, in the same class, eleven.“They are neighbours and childhood friends. Their families are very close so they practically grew up together. I have their parent’s names but I don’t think that will be too important at the moment.“Cutting to the chase, it seems like both their families are reported as missing as of this morning. The neigh
Sitting in the dark, Noel continued to type away at the laptop in front of him. The screen is split into three sections, one is in a direct conversation with an unknown person and the other two are tabs of a long list of people and records.A lollipop stuck out of Noel’s mouth as he tried to focus on the screen in front of him, instead, the flashes of the girls’ bodies just kept appearing in his mind.Sighing, he pushed the laptop onto the bed and ran his hands through his hair, frowning.Why do they always have to involve innocent children into things like this? He thought, messing his own hair up in frustration. This also seems more like a personal vendetta than someone actually wanting to send a message. They would have done this to someone else otherwise.First, I need to get a hold of that video. We may not be able to get the face of the perpetrator on the scree
“Anyone knows what that is?” Eden asked as everyone stared at the device on the table, looking at it with confusion written all over their faces. “No one? Then. Captain Quinn. Care to elaborate?”“Sir. This is known as an inference transmitter.” He said, picking up the device in his hands. “You can already tell what it does. So I will not waste my time explaining it to you.“I have seen hundreds of these over the course of my life, even building some of them from scratch. But I have never seen something of this magnitude.“Early this morning, as soon as I heard about this, I made my way to the crime scene. A large crowd was gathered there and the police had not arrived just yet.“Looking around the area, I found this left behind as well as all the CCTV cameras missing. I remembered there being quite a few so I was surprised when they were no
