Vexos Fic! This has nothing to do with the anime aside from the characters.
Disclaimer: The only thing I own are the plot and OC's.
"We interrupt this evening's normal broadcast to bring you news from the Vestal Planetary Police Force," the announcer on the TV said.
"Oh come on!" Shadow cried. "Seriously, who cares? Just get back to the show already!"
"Shut up, I'm trying to listen," Mylene snapped. Shadow stuck his tongue out at her.
"We regret to inform you that last night's contestant on the popular reality show, 'Vestroia', was found dead in her apartment this morning," the Officer said stiffly.
Shadow yawned pointedly, earning a smack on the side of his face from Volt.
"This is the sixth death of its kind. The force now believes that it is no coincidence, and is now searching for the Murderer. Any information or help you can provide is appreciated. Good night."
The Officer's picture vanished to be replaced by the show that had been previously running. It was in that second that the phone rang. Shadow heard Gus answer it. He was surprised when Gus stuck his head through the doorway and held it out to him.
Grumpily, Shadow took the phone, walked out of the room and said, "What?"
"That's not how you address an Officer, Mr. Prove," came a brisk voice on the other end.
"Chaze! How are you man? Everything cool?"
"We need you to come down to the station," Chaze answered. "Tonight. No questions asked. If you don't, we'll have to arrest you."
"Simmer down, dude," Shadow said, yawning. "If I had a penny for every time you guys were gonna 'arrest' me, I'd be richer than His Royal Majesty Hydron."
"Just get down here."
There was a click, and the phone went dead. Shadow tossed it, and it landed on the counter with a loud "slam!"
"Chaze needs me," he called to the others as he pulled on his steel boots and trench coat.
"What did you do?" Volt asked.
Shadow shrugged, then pulled open the door and slammed it shut.
