Welcome to chapter three! Thanks if you're still reading and so sorry for the late updates;)
The ambulance and police car that arrived at the Kuroko household was called by a neighbor, who'd heard what she'd described as the sound of breaking glass, and screaming, a man had been screaming. It had not been the first time the police were called to the house, but unlike all the other times, they found the door wide open. And unlike all the other times, they found no raggedy man waiting to shoo them away.
This time when they walked into the light living room, they found a man sitting on the floor blood flowing from a wound on the head, he was unconscious. But there was way too much for it to have just been this man's little scratch. The paramedics got to him straight away taking care of his wounds. While detective Marli Soto, a transfer from America, followed the trail of blood to the kitchen.
Detective Soto slowly crept through the house, fighting the shivers it sent down her spine. At first glance the detective saw nothing but a shattered china case and backdoor. But at a second glance she almost froze, almost. She called the paramedics over to where a young boy laid in a pool of blood and glass.
The snow that had begun to fall, made it look seem as though the boy had wings, causing the detective to do a double check. The boy with his pale blue hair seemed like a fallen angel, who'd just fell from heaven, with snow covered wings.
A small dog whimpered slightly covered in snow, the small dog sat obediently by what the detective could only assume to be its master. Its soft grey fur, coated with the fresh snow, as it licked the boy's cheek, looking for some sign that his master would be okay.
The detective kneeled over the boy's shattered form checking quickly for a pulse, or some sort of sign that his heart was still beating. His skin was as cold as ice, and looked almost as blue as his pale hair. She looked at this fallen angel, broken and damaged, stained with his own blood, the evidence of betrayal.
Finally as the paramedics rushed to their sides, she finally felt a faint heartbeat for a second she thought she'd imagined it, but when the paramedic announced the boy had a faint heartbeat, the detective finally let a sigh of relief.
The detective watched them load the boy slowly onto the stretcher, she herself stood or where she was kneeling and began to head back towards her partner, when she felt someone grab her arm. She froze turning back, to see the boy reaching out for her, "mom," he whispered before going limp once more.
Who is he?
She watched them carry him off, chills going down her spine. She stood there for a while longer, staring up at the sky as the snow fell around her, trying to cover up the tragedy that occurred here.
The detective's partner walked to her side, looking at her with his dark blue eyes, "come on Soto a nice cup of coffee will make you forget about all of this," he said with a lop-sided smile.
The detective glared at her partner eyes narrowing in anger, "where's your compassion," she scolded punching his arm as hard as she could.
He rubbed his arm looking up at the cold darken sky with his deep eyes, he shrugged, "Don't know, but it you find it please let my wife know, she'll be happy to see it again," this last comment only earned him another glare sent his way ten times worse than the last. "What," he called after her, as she made her way back to the house.
"I'm not speaking with you right now Aomine," Soto growled marching to the house, to find out more about the family.
"Oh come on Soto, what'd I say," Aomine rolled his eyes, truthfully he didn't honestly see what the big problem was, he just figured some coffee would wake him up.
As Aomine also began heading back the house he was stopped by a sweet, "Argh," he stopped looking down to find two very bright, very distinct eyes staring innocently up at him. "Argh," he heard again as the pup walked up to him sniffing him curiously.
He smiled widely pushing a strand of dark blue hair out of his tan face as he bent down to pet the poor thing. "Awe, your so cute, just don't pee on me okay," he mused petting the dog again, "oh who's a good no pee-pee dog, you are, you are," he laughed as the dog gave another, "argh."
"Let's get you out of the cold okay," he smiled picking the soft husky up and brushing the snow from his now damp fur.
He walks into the house setting the dog down on the carpet, and ruffling his hair. Soto was looking through an old photo book of the family, ignoring her partner's blunt stupidity.
She hears a slight beep causing her to glance towards him, "What are you doing," she asks as she watches him twinker with a gadget on the counter.
"I'm making some coffee," He says grinning widely.
Soto stops and shakes her head, "this is a crime-scene," she says.
"Yeah so, what's your point," he says as he poured himself a cup of coffee.
"Your unbelievable," She gasps rolling her eyes, "did you at least talk to the father," She silently prayed for her partner's life, because if he didn't at least get that done, then her partner would not be able to work for a very, very long time.
"Of course I did, what do you think I'm incompetent, or something," Soto stopped herself from replying to that comment because she knew it wouldn't be pleasant words that would escape her mouth. "He told me that Kuroko was heading into the kitchen to get something to eat when he tripped on the lamp cord and hit the china cabinet, which caused him to slip and crash through the back door. Then he went to call the ambulance before slipping on some blood."
"What," Soto whispered trying to work it out in her head, did the guy really think they'd buy that crap.
"Personally I think it's a load of crap-you know what I think?" Aomine looked at Soto questioningly as she smiled lightly, almost proud of him now, almost. He took a drink out of a dark blue coffee cup before saying, "I think he had a little too much to drink and came home to beat the shit out of his kid."
Soto sneered at the man's foul language, but somewhat happy at his conclusion, "agreed," she said as her partner's face lit up.
"So," he said flopping onto the boy's couch, "find anything interesting in there?"
"Yeah kind of," Soto said biting her lip slightly.
"Well do share," Aomine smiled brightly reaching for the book in his partner's hands.
Soto pulled it out of her partner's reach shaking her head, "I," she emphasized this part, "found out that this kid was on the Generation of Miracles so it should be easier to get more information on him."
"What," Aomine gasped which one.
"Why," Soto asked cocking her head slightly.
"Remember how I said my kid Daiki played basketball, yeah well he was on the Generation of Miracles, I know all of those boys." Aomine's eyes were wild wondering which of the boys he'd come to know so well could have been on the other end of all this damage.
"Wait you didn't see the victim," Mali asked all the while wondering what her partner was actually doing during that time period. Aomine shook his head, shrugging. Marli narrowed her eyes, glaring once more towards him, "well," her lips pursed as she continued to glare, "did you at least interview the father?"
"What father," Aomine winced as he was hit over the head with a random book, by none other than his partner, "hey what was that for?"
"You didn't interview the victim's Father," Marli growled slowly bringing the wrath of hell onto her partner.
Aomine's eyes widened as he shook his head, "Oh," a smile slide onto his face as he dismissed his partner once more, "yeah I did that why?"
"Well didn't you get his name," Marli asked slowly trying to keep her cool.
"Oh, why, he's Kuroko-san's father, I already know his name," Aomine couldn't help but smirk. He really liked playing with his partner like this.
Marli was visibly twitching as her glare intensified, "so you do know the victim!"
"Of course I know the victim Soto, haven't we been through this?"
"Eh!"
"Anyway," Aomine continued, dismissing his partner's screaming, "I'm goanna head to the hospital to check on Kuroko-san, and bring him his little friend," Aomine smiled as he scratched the puppy's ears, happily. "Well, I'll see what I can dig up there."
"Yeah okay whatever," just as the words left Soto's mouth her radio went off, letting them know that they were needed elsewhere. "We can do that later right now we have to go check out a suicide attempt," Soto said as she rushed to the door.
"Cool," Aomine said with a yawn, "where's it located?"
"A Midorima's residence," Marli answered, causing her partner to stop dead in his tracks. "What?"
"I'll tell you on the way just hurry up," Aomine said, rushing to their car, as his stomach churned. He had a bad feeling about this, two of the Generation of Miracles, with weird accidents too weird. Just weird.
Hope you guys like Aomine's dad, I thought that was a neat twist, let me know what you think:)
