"Father, can you tell me more of your cases back in japan?" Her dark indigo eyes flashed as she pulled herself away from being absorbed from the book entitled. The Parapsychology Battlefield. Her hands folded the book closed and placed the book on top of her lap. With her small arms, she tried to reach the teacup from her right side. She pushed her upper body up to move so she could lean back and relax on the adult chair.
"Jean, you haven't even finished your book yet." With a calm yet direct tone, Jean noticed that her father looked rather disturbed again when she mentioned about Japan. Despite her age, Jean instantly understood her father. Her father was strict but caring, he was objective but sensitive, and he was direct but understanding.
"But, father! Uncle Lin said you had the best cases in Japan!" Jean stood and stepped on her seat. Her pink ballerina shoes on top of the black leather sofa. "Way better than England or Scotland!" Jean puffed her cheeks and knelt down as she faced her father leaning forward. Oliver Davis turned to his side and met with his daughter's face.
"Jean, you're a lady. Sit properly." Oliver Davis warned the young ballerina with his cold strict tone.
"You're not being objective over the assumptions that Lin might have mentioned about Japan." Oliver Davis grinned and then pinched his daughter's nose. Her daughter immediately pulled herself away by pushing his father's hand from her.
"No, I am being objective, father!" Jean stuck her tongue out before crossing her hands and sat down on her seat like a lady would.
"Besides, I came from Japan. So, I know that I am the perfect evidence that Japan is really indeed great!" Jean smirked as she watched his father look at her. Oliver Davis scoffed as he realized that this child was indeed a narcissist like himself.
7 years ago.
Japan was something Oliver Davis could not forget, the cases that he handled, the people he talked to, the woman whom he fell in love with and of course the sorrow he felt when he saw his brother. At 17 years old, he saw his brother and finally gave him a proper burial back in England. However, he returned as he found Japan interesting due to the supernatural cases that he experienced. His experiences and curiosity of the phenomenon in Japan led him to stay longer than his parents or even himself expected. Despite those curiosities and phenomenon, a phenomenon happened that he didn't expect and that was the disappearance of his assistant in a case that he accepted one year ago. The only case that he wasn't able to successfully complete. It was also the one and only case that led to the separation of the other exorcists and consultants of the team. It was only John Brown and Yasuhara who stayed by his side over the remaining year as he stayed in Japan.
One winter night, Oliver Davis couldn't resist but look at the unsolved case that took place in Chiba. He flipped the unsolved case file and read the statements of the victims that manifested the phenomenal events. His eyes turned glazed upon remembering the events that happened that night. The last argument that he and his assistant had before she disappeared. His hands made its way on his face and rubbed his eyes as he sniffed lightly. He shrugged off the sorrow he felt and the inflicted pain he suffered for some seconds and calmed himself down. He knew that his emotions would trigger his qigong. For sure, he didn't want to end up in the emergency room again because of passing out. He had plans already. Plans to go back to England and leave Japan permanently. His struggle of returning back to his apartment started when Lin noticed that there was a file missing from the box he was ready to put away. Oliver Davis heard the footsteps and immediately ascended from his seat and hid the file inside his drawer.
"Naru!" The Chinese man opened the door abruptly as he noticed that the young CEO's eyes were slightly moist. He sighed, he was rather tired of looking at his student being helpless. He knew that Oliver was a handful, but he was the worse when it comes to losing someone he loves.
"I know you have the file. You can return it back once we return to the apartment." Lin understood out of sympathy. It was rough on Oliver to lose an assistant but it was as if losing Gene again when he lost his almost lover. Lin left the room and packed the boxes inside the van.
Oliver Davis walked out of his office with his hands inside his pocket. He gave a final look around his office for almost 3 years. He was glad that he was able to experience on handling difficult cases. He also was pleased to work with people so dedicated to solving the case. So, when he turned around, the people that left him came back to see him once again.
Masako was still wearing her kimono, she stood aside Monk, who was carrying a bass guitar. Next to him was Ayako, her expression wasn't forgiving but she hinted an expression of slight happiness. John and Yasuhara stood behind them. They were all ready to finally say good bye to the man that they met 3 years ago. This departure was rather easy for them because they haven't seen each other since a year ago.
"We're not here to stop you or anything." Masako stepped in front and then sighed. "Take care of yourself." She said.
"If it was't for you, we wouldn't have realized our full potential. So, I'm grateful for that." Bou-san paused for a while before Ayako could intrude. "No, if it wasn't for him. We wouldn't have lost Mai!" Ayako's raised voice made John and Yasuhara flinched for a second. "If it was you who disappeared, I believe that Mai would not abandon you!" Ayako lastly said and stormed off. "Ayako, wait!" Bou-san chased her the moment she ran off.
Oliver Davis sighed and then gave out a grin. "Is that all?" he watched and observed the expressions of Masako, Yasuhara, and John. He moved his way towards the exit and then left them with his last cold look in their memories.
It was a cold winter night, Oliver Davis couldn't sleep on his last night in Japan. His eyes were locked to the ceiling, he could hear his breathing and the wind as it howls and passes by his blinds. He was rather annoyed with the noise and the fact that he couldn't sleep. He thought of the case that he left unsolved. The case that left his assistant lost. He realized that he couldn't sleep because of the fact that he also heard a cat outside his apartment. His eyes were slowly ready to drop, his body was finally ready to give in to sleep. However, whether he liked it or not, he was still hearing the crying cat- or that's what he thought. He suddenly opened his eyes and realized that it was not a crying cat. His eyes were stunned as he listened to the cry once again. He instantly grabbed his phone, he rushed to the door and to the stairs, he wanted to speed dial Lin, however, he knew that he was probably tired from carrying all the boxes.
Upon reaching the door the crying only became louder and louder when he got nearer. He may be cold and insensitive as he looked but he knows how to sympathize when it comes to children left alone. Because he knows how it works when a child is left alone, he/she would belong to the foster system if so.
Oliver Davis opened the door and saw a pastel blue baby basket right in front of his door. He turned to the sidewalk and checked if there was something unusual. To his dismay, there wasn't anyone there. The baby continued to cry and cry when he was looking away, but the moment that his eyes met with her dark indigo eyes she stopped crying and started cooing. He was actually glaring at the baby but it seems like the baby was amused by it.
"What an interesting child." Oliver Davis hinted a small smile on his face as he looked at the baby. He picked up the baby basket and then carried it inside of his apartment. He placed the baby basket on top of his coffee shop and later saw a sealed envelope tucked in the baby's blanket.

"Uncle Lin also mentioned before that you had an unsolved case back in Japan, father. So I believe that Japan really is a challenge!" Jean soon noticed his father's expression. She felt that she wanted to sink down with the furniture due to his father's scary ambiance. She felt the chills passing through her spine.
"Naru!" Madoka's voice was loud enough to disrupt whatever it was Naru was thinking or doing. "Aunt Madoka!" Jean hopped from her seat and then ran towards her godmother. "Jean!" Naru realized how Jean hopped from the tall seat and landed on her feet. He was worried that the child might hurt herself with the process.
"Jean, you look like a princess!" Madoka noticed her pink ballet tutu outfit.
"Really? Father insisted on wearing pink but I wanted to wear black or indigo to compliment my eyes!" Jean puffed her cheeks and then doubted on even wearing what his father requested.
"Well, it was your first ballet practice. I'm not surprised that your father wanted you to wear pink." Madoka tried to give the child a sense of logic when it came to the basics of ballet.
"Do you have something for me Madoka?" Oliver Davis stood up and held his daughter's small hand and stood a distance from Madoka.
"Are you sure you want her to hear this one?" Madoka whispered in Naru's ear. However, Jean was able to hear her whisper even if it was only a few feet away.
"I understand, I'll wait at mother's grave, father!" Jean instantly slip her hands off Oliver Davis and ran towards the two doors.
"Jean! Don't run, you'll sl-!" He was cut off the moment that his daughter closed the door.
"It's the case you left unsolved in Japan." Madoka paused for a while and then gave him the file. "It's back."
