A/N: Busy couple days yesterday was at a symphony I wanted to update on the 3rd, but I couldn't finish in time. :)

Nair finally opened her eyes as the constant on and off switch of the sun kept going off, "holy hell Juvella..." She grumbled putting her pillow over her head. Why was he playing with the blinds? Why couldn't he be back in the bedroom doing it in there? He didn't stop, and she threw the pillow at him, hitting him in the back of the head. There was no way in hell she could go back to sleep now. She sat up and observed him, then sleepily looked to Camny who laid on the couch, his head proped up on his hand. He had obviously woken up too thanks to his unwanted roommate.
Juvella suddenly ran into the bedroom and they could see the room light up and darken a few times, "I swear I saw him!" He yelled. "That detective."
"What?!" Both Nair and Camny yelled in unison, the next moment they're doing the same thing as Juvella.
it was 7:30 am, on a sleeping in except for the weekend workers, but still, the streets were pretty much empty.
"The guy in the brown car?" Camny pointed out the car parked across the street, "I've seen him before when Id visit you."
"Did he see you get here Juvella?"
"No, but we were wire tapped that call. Maybe he's looking at Camny because they probably saw the sample baggy." Juvella entered the room. "Do you have places to be Nair?"
"No. Why you have an idea?" She watched Juvella gather all the notes organizing them into piles on the table.
"No doubt he's the anonymous emailer. He's probably investigating the case but clearly he's off." Juvella went to the coffee pot turning it on, then went straight to the front door.
"No! Wait Juvella if you invite him in! Me and Nairs jobs are at risk." Instantly they both hooked Juvella under each arm, preventing him from opening the door. Stopping him from doing anything so rash.
"Alright. Fine." He admitted defeat, shrugging in their grip. They relaxed only slightly, half expecting him to hightail it outside. Thankfully he didn't— well not immediately.
Coil had been watching the slightly active apartment. The shifting between the folds of the blinds, no doubt he had been spotted. But there was more than one person, didn't Camny live alone? His thought was immediately inturrupted when the front door burst open, and Juvella almost flew out of the house. He was quickly followed by the other two. Coil flicked the lock on his door when Juvella got to his window.
"Good morning detective." Coil could swear Juvella always had that sinister look about him. The other two were at his side immediately. However the simple answer to driving him back into the house became particularly difficult since he had made contact with the detective.
Coil rolled the window down a crack, "Juvella." He nodded back, glancing at the other two. They both were completely pale and he immediately made note of it.
"May I see your badge?" Juvella asked.
Coil narrowed his eyes slightly, "I'm afraid I don't have one."
"Oh so then you're a private detective?" Camny suddenly questioned from behind.
Coil cocked an eyebrow, "yes?"
Juvella chuckled turning to the two, "worried I was going to invite a police officer in? I've seen him for three years."
'Invite?' Coil immediately glanced to his bag, his communication with L was off.
"though before I do..." Juvella smirked slightly, "leave all notes in the car, your bags as well, also leave your Jacket. Empty your pockets too."
This was the first time Juvella seemed serious about inviting hi to do something, so Coil couldn't refuse the opportunity, any slip at all could change the direction of the case he was working on. Then maybe he could finally move on to better things after he turn over everything to the Police.
Within a few minutes he was invited into Camnys home. There was a bed in the middle of the floor, looking up at everyone he could see they all had a case of bed head. He was noting every detail in the apartment. "So your a private detective?" Nair spoke up.
"Yes." Coil nodded, "what about you?" She looked young.
"well... I don't have my badge yet, I'm currently working with the LAPD cold case unit." She sounded slightly nervous.
"Oh so your a detective as well? You do realize you have a criminal in your midst correct?" Way to bring on a very eerie silence in the room, he didn't hesitate to point that out.
"Well... I don't really know what to say." Camny shifted awkwardly, glancing into the kitchen. "What did you want to show him Juvella?"
"Oh everything on the kitchen table. Oh and detective? Please note that these two don't particularily agree with me. Bringing you here I put their jobs at risk."
Yes things had gotten very awkward indeed, he sat down at the table as Juvella served coffee, and immediatly he glanded at all the notes. "We've been working on private detective stuff as well, I'm not sure what will happen now but um... Feel free to look things over." Nair couldn't hide how timid she was and Camny was as white as a sheet.
Coil recognized the formula of the poison, and as he lifted the page up. "I had submitted this to LAPDs morgue."
"You wrote this?" Coil confirmed.
"Yes, while you see me as a criminal, I have lent my ability of identifying poisonous substances to the LAPD. This being one, I'm certain you see me as a suspect in this?"
"Yes, though I've only started working on this particular case." Coil failed to notice the glares that were shot to Juvella.
"Oh really?" Camny muttered under his breath.
"Is that so?" Nair couldn't hide the bitterness she felt either.
"So the three of you have been working this privately?" They nodded at the question, "I have to say, I do support your theories in this case."
"I believe theres more to it. the homeless population is in a slow decline, with supposid drug overdoses. But the last victim we found had drugs mixed in with the Carrion, so whoever is making the poison is probably trying to hide the fact they are actually dying from the poison." Nair started explaining.
Coil suddenly stood, putting the notes down in the process. "Well, I need to think things over. Are you all staying here?"
"Juvella, for now. Nair lives somewhere else." Camny spoke up for them, and Coil simply nodded.
"Allright, is it possible I meet you all here tomorrow?"
"what time?" Nair asked.
"Do you have a phone number, Ill call you when I come by—"
"No need, Nair just stay the weekend" Camny made a slight smile. "Um detective, as you know um... Our jobs."
"Try to to worry, I'm not with the LAPD." Coil opened the door, "Ill speak with you all soon."
Taking a seat back in the car, he quickly dug out the radio L had provided him. "L. I need to speak with you. Where are you staying?"
Next chapter will be out soon :)
