Chapter two

"Yang you better have a good reason for dragging me away from Cinder." Ruby growled harshly as she stepped into the police vehicle. It was two am on a Saturday when she received a phone call from her annoying half-sister. She knew she will have to make this up to Cinder for breaking her 'no work this weekend' promise.

"I don't care what you do with your girlfriend but we got a new body in Central Park." Yang declared as she shot through the streets sirens blaring. As they approached the crime scene both Yang and Ruby saw their parent's standing there examining the corpse careful.

"About time spitfire!" Raven declared lowering her camera after seeing Yang step out the car. This snapped both Tai and Summer from their trains of thought to look towards them.

"Mom?! Why are you here? I thought Weiss was suppose to drag the body to you." Yang asked in curiosity before holding her nose in disgust as the smell of decaying flesh and rotten blood finally hit her.

"Normally I would be in the autospy but Weiss is out of town with her sister Winter today." Raven stated returning to take photos of the corpse.

It was posed like it was on a cross, Black wings layered from its back as the head was pushed through the corpses stomach. Across the arms read a single phrase from Romeo and Juliet, 'A plague on your houses'.

"It's a challenge. Seems like the angel is getting more daring by the day." Summer stated as she took a knee next to Tai.

"S- I mean Captain Rose you really shouldn't push yourself." Tai stated rubbing Summer's back gently.

"Just because I'm four weeks pregnant doesn't mean I'll mess up my job." Summer stated as Ruby's face went into shock.

"Mom's pregnant?!" She declared causing Summer to groan in annoyance. She strictly remembers telling Ruby first after she found out herself.

"A) it's captain when your not at my home and B I told you first remember? Or was your brain filled with sexual thoughts of Cinder?" Summer stated raising her eyebrow at Ruby with a really look.

"Little column A little column B." Ruby stated pulling out her flask she used to control her disgust over these scenes only to have it snatched by Qrow. Without warning, Qrow drank the whole flask before tossing it back to Ruby. "Detective!"

"No drinking on the job rookie." He slurred leaning against the nearby light pole. Tai sighed as he walked over to Qrow socking him to the ground.

"Your suppose to be the example here and not drunk off your niece's whiskey." Tai stated irritated over his brother's drinking habits.

"It was actually moonshine I got from Weiss as a gift." Ruby stated putting her flask away. Yang smacked Ruby aside the head like an older sister should before she walked towards the corpse recognizing almost immediately who it was.

"V-Velvet?" Yang's face grew dark as she walked away in horror at her old classmate's body.

"Yang wait!"

As the door slammed open, Blake jumped from her sleep to see yang holding a glass bottle of whiskey. She looked to the door to see Ruby storming in after her.

"So guess something h-" Blake was about to ask when yang cut her off.

"It was velvet Blake! Velvet Scarlatina from our old home room in high school!" Yang declared before taking another large drink from the bottle before falling back into her chair. The mental image still freshly burned into her mind Yang just felt herself coming undone.

"Does Weiss know?" Blake asked placing a bookmark in her favorite book before looking to Ruby only to receive a shake of her head. "Yang if needs be I'll help the police o-"

"Out of the question! You quit after our first case to be the writer you always wanted to be." Yang slurred out taking another drink before Ruby snatches it away.

"Okay the alcohol is altering your perception now yang. I know for a fact Blake was never a cop even if she watched mom and dad work." Ruby declared taking a drink from the whiskey before coughing hard. "Jesus how can you stand this stuff?"

"Ruby I think she's asleep." Blake stated pointing to yang snoring lightly as she slid down in her chair.

"I see. So how long are you staying here Blake?" Ruby asked looking to her adopted sister who began reading again.

"Until it's safe. My publisher even forced me to take a paid leave." Blake deadpanned refusing to take her eyes off her book. Ruby sighed grabbing a nearby blanket before laying it across Yang. As the handle turned Ruby drew her gun pointing it towards the door while Blake grabbed a nearby bat. The door pushed open to reveal a tall raven haired woman standing in a red coat that showcased her golden eyes and red lips.

"Ruby Summer Rose put that thing away before I break your arm for pointing it at me." The woman stated as Ruby let out a small sigh of relief placing her gun in it's holster again. The woman walked over wrapping her arms around Ruby pulling her into a hug gently pressing her abs against the smaller woman's head.

"Sorry Cin. I thought you were someone else." Ruby stated standing on her tippy toes planting a kiss gently on Cinder's lips causing a smile to spread across her face.

"Hey Cinder." Blake called placing the bat carefully by the table before Cinder looked to her.

"How are you Blakey?" Cinder asked taking one of yang's chairs away from the dining room.

"Could be better. Have you by any chance heard from Adam?" Blake asked looking towards Cinder with worried eyes causing Cinder to drop her head before sighing. Blake instantly knew Cinder had something to say.

"He's missing. I went to the airport to pick your boyfriend up almost an hour ago like Ruby requested since she was chasing a drunk yang. Someone saw him climb into a taxi before it drove off. A friend of mine told me that taxi he enter was stolen…" Cinder stated not looking at Blake. She didn't want to see her lovers sister in tears over something like this.

"I see…"

/

"When my friends find me you are so getting the electric chair!" Adam screamed unable to see where he was. The clear sound of birds screaming in pain filled the room with echoes as the smell of blood became heavy.

"You know. You're the only person I hate more than her family." The mystery person stated as Adam tried to recognize who it is. It was on the edge of his tongue but he couldn't place a name with the voice after only meeting Blake's friends a few times.

"What do you want with me?" Adam asked hearing the loud footsteps come closer to him. When the footsteps stopped he could smell the blood heavier than before a clear indicator this person was before him. "I haven't done anything to hurt Blake or anything so please just let me go…"

"You know something else, you sounded like my sister and father before I enjoyed ripping out their vocal cords." The mystery person stated dragging their fingers against Adam's next ever so gently leaving a little blood behind. "I wonder if the cops found my father's body yet since they discovered my sister. They won't recognize them in time though."

Before Adam could speak, a single sharp knife slid across his throat. Trying to catch his breath but he couldn't die to the blood flowing down his esophagus into his lungs. The last thing he could hear was a distinct laughing as his eyes strained to see white covered with red.

A/N: Mwahahaha I wonder how many corpses are hidden through out the city. Oh and Summer being pregnant will be a nice treat for you guys. If she survives that is.
