"Woo! Man! That was one hell of a raid night!"
Kishor Draggarh pulled off his headset and spun his swivel chair around and glanced at the clock resting on the drawer next to his bed. He mentally cursed to himself as he realized just how late it was. Turning off his computer, he got up from his seat and grabbed the cellphone off his bed. Dialing in a number, he laid on his bed, staring up at the ceiling to pass the time while he waited for the receiver to pick up.
"Kishor." Spoke the voice of Sig Asgrimur on the other end.
"That was one hell of a boss, eh? Can't believe I let my guard down like that and got stabbed in the back! If Iwasaki hadn't arrived when she did, all our dungeon loot would have been gone."
"She really does have impeccable timing."
"Definitely, man!" Kishor laughed.
"Anyways, we should probably get some sleep now. New day for us tomorrow: We're getting a new squad leader since our old one retired."
"I, for one, am glad that old asshole quit! He couldn't take a joke even if his life depended on it!" Kishor frowned.
Sig chuckled on the other end.
"I heard from Captain Milla he's fresh out of the academy."
Kishor was intrigued. He had never met a graduate superior officer before...
"Really? Guess we'll be in good hands then." He simply answered before yawning. "Well, I'm gonna hit the hay."
"Same here. See you at the station."
"Eeyup. G'night, dude."
With that, Kishor hung up and placed his cellphone near his clock before clapping his hands. The light shut off and he quickly fell asleep, snoring loudly as he did.
Sig, on the other hand, did not go to sleep just yet. He was still on the computer, browsing the internet. Something was bothering him. It was about Konata. Prior to their adventures into the dungeon, the two had a conversation between each other about family relatives. While Sig had lost his mother and father through drug addiction and alcohol, that was not the case for Konata. She told him of how her mother had been taken away from her when she had only been an infant. The mystery to him was not how she disappeared, but if she was still alive. Surely by now, a body would have been found. So if a corpse wasn't found, then there was still the smallest chance she was alive somewhere.
As a police officer, I hope we find her...Dead or alive.
He frowned slightly.
Although I would prefer it if she was still alive...
Sighing, he shook his head. Sig had a soft spot for people who lost their family...because he lost his through some unfortunate flaws of his parents. They were good people, despite what they did to themselves. If anything, he wanted to be the one who would bring back her torn family and fill in the missing piece of Konata's life.
...I should really get some rest...
Turning everything off except the lamp near his computer, he got into his bed and quickly succumbed to sleep.
It'll be the coincidence of the century if we found her...
This chapter connected this story to Missing Piece together. Something I just felt I needed to do.
