Naru the office to find a pot of tea and a note saying, 'ran out of tea, went to get more' waiting on his desk.
There was a message on his phone.
"i have something of yours"Owen's recorded voice said.
Naru went pale and immediately left.
While he was gone Owen turned visible and walked over to the phone to delete the message.
Later
"Owen didn't come near me" Mai said annoyed. Naru hadn't stopped questioning her since he found her.
"i can prove your in danger" Naru protested.
They reached the office and Naru ushered Mai over to his phone. The only message on the phone was one from his parents wondering when they could meet Mai. Naru was terrified. He knew now that Owen could get in his office. Or was he already there.
"Mai tea. Now" Naru ordered.
"fine" Mai growled.
Naru sat down and put his head in his hands. Mai came back with his tea and a box.
"package for you" Mai mumbled before she left.
Naru opened the box and found a book. The title was 'unsolved murders of the 20th century.' over the author the name 'Owen McMorris' was taped on.
Naru didn't quite know what to make of the book. He downed his tea and called for mai came in he looked up at her and asked, "do you feel safe at the office."
"of course" she said walking around the desk to give him a hug, "your here"
Mai left taking the empty cup with her. Naru was already on full alert when he heard someone wisper in his ear, "nice girl, isn't she" Naru turned and grabbed them by the shirt and slammed them against the desk.
"let me see you, you coward" Naru yelled.
Owen turned visible with a smile. "i thought you would thank me." he said, "you would have never got her as a girlfriend if I hadn't shot at her. Though you keep getting in the way. Oh well you won't be able to block my next shot."
"what do you mean" Naru shouted.
"nothing just remember that I know everything. From every case that you two have done in the last three years since you've been back from England, to the black velvet box in your pocket. There is nothing you can hide from me" with that Owen turned invisible and fought off Naru before hiding again.
Naru sat up at his desk and pulled a small box from his pocked. He stared down at the emerald ring inside it. He closed the box and returned it to his pocket. Naru laid his head in his arms on his desk before slowly letting tear stream down his cheeks.
