Do you spy what I spy?
Chapter one: I spy
It's lunch time. Sasazuka is treating the female detective in some café and is probably regretting it, seeing the amount she is eating. Ishigaki is mourning for his Supershooter 89 XL Deluxe version, which Sasazuka destroyed. Todoroki sees the detective munching happily on her food and Sasazuka, who is half-heartily trying to stop her from eating so much. The detective smiles at him, apologizes and suddenly, Sasazuka stops trying, settling into watching her. Todoroki blinks and thinks nothing, seeing nothing.
Sasazuka and the detective are reading some information about a killer. Ishigaki and Todoroki are just walking by, having an argument as usual. Todoroki sees them having a discussion over wherever why the banker couldn't be the criminal and thinks nothing. Ishigaki sees how comfortable the detective is, close to Sasazuka. Sasazuka is leaning a bit too much into her to be called casual. The young inspector wonders what he should think of that.
"Sasazuka-san~!"
"Oh, Yako-chan. We sure do bump a lot into each other."
"Really? I guess we do. But that is fine, isn't it?"
"Hmm? Yeah, it's fine…"
They are talking, just small talk. Sasazuka and that detective. They look comfortable, leaning next to a snack machine.
"Hey rookie…"
Todoroki debates whether she should just ignore him and decides against it, "…What?"
"Don't you think they look good together?"
She blinks, "Who?"
Ishigaki laughs and mockingly says, "Guess you're really a rookie! Sempai and that detective, of course!"
"You have nothing in your head but manga and soaps, don't you, Ishigaki-san? They are just talking!"
"Look better! They look comfortable talking, don't they?"
They discuss what they have been seeing, but they can't agree. After all, Todoroki sees nothing and Ishigaki does.
Another day, another case.
Well, actually not.
Sai has made another victim, leaving another box full of sadness and horror. The mother is crying, wailing about how her child should have lived longer. Ishigaki sees some colleges going towards her and thinks it's alright. He turns around, looking for Sasazuka and sees him standing near the box, his mouth set in a grim line. The female detective is standing near him, her assistant eyeing the box with something that Ishigaki can't really place. He decides it's not important enough and instead focuses his look on the youngest person of the group. She looks pale, sickly even, when she casts her eyes on the red box. Sadness and fear is filling her eyes, making her look strangely broken.
She stammers out ,"Excuse me, I have to go to the bathroom…" and is gone before someone can stop her. Even her green-eyes assistant is looking slightly surprised. Sasazuka sighs for some reason and calls Todoroki over, "Please continue the investigation, and for all that's holy, don't let Ishigaki touch anything."
She nods and watches him going after the young woman, before turning her back to the door and take control of the investigation. Ishigaki is sulking for the comment but wonders why he goes after her. But he thinks he can guess it anyway and smiles, thinking, 'Score for sempai! Reminds me of that manga…'
