Hi guys!

Soooooo sorry for the long break! First this got pushed aside so we could work on our other fics, then we were on vacations, then school started, plus we've been working on a different project! Sorry!

I'm *sniff* so *sniff* sorry!

We'll try and do better! But thanks for sticking with us and here is a new chapter!

"It's called… The name of this organization that I worked for… They call themselves… ATFRUT."

The two Senior Detectives shared a look, a rather dramatic look, and thanked Rowena. The four - Alex, Avis, Skulduggery, and Valkyrie - escorted their prisoner to the jail in order to begin the legal process. They ran into China on the way there, and she started formulating a battle strategy.

"My network of intelligence has named a small house on the outskirts of town as where multiple groups of suspicious looking people met up every now and again. Nashi has been identified as one of those persons. I want Valkyrie and Skulduggery to lock down this location right now. Moving fast is a necessity because, as this case has proved, they are ready to kill. The rest of you are dismissed."

Avis mumbled a few words of gratitude, grabbed Alex's wrist, and dashed away, not stopping until they were out of the building.

"I cannot believe the day we just had!" groaned Alex.

"I just wanna go home and eat peanut butter cereal," Avis cried, slumping against her friend and refusing to move. "Push me back to the apartment?"

Alex rolled her eyes but still complied, shoving the bluenette all the way back to the complex.

On the way up to their room, the fangirls heard what sounded like a large group of people down the hallway. Curiosity winning against exhaustion, they decided to check it out. Rounding the corner, they came face to face with none other than their neighbor Ebony. Avis promptly hid behind Alex who managed to stutter out a sentence.

"Sal - salutations! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be in your way, I was just curious, I will go hide now!"

Ebony glared at them for a moment, then softened. "It's fine. I was just listening to Rent, you know, the musical."

Avis took a hesitant step out from behind Alex.

"Oh, that's what the noises were! I thought you were have a party!"

"Same here," agreed Alex, twisting a strand of hair between her fingers. "And I didn't know you liked musicals! Rent is pretty great, but I'll always and forever be a Les Miserables fan."

"Hamilton," muttered Alex. "Hamilton."

"Les Mis?" Ebony scoffed. "It's good, sure, but Rent is clearly superior. The only reason you like Les Mis is because your tastes are immature. You probably just relate to Eponine, even though she should've been chasing after Enjolras, because let's face it, Marius is completely in love with the blonde girl and Enjolras is way hotter."

Alex's nostrils flared, and Avis gasped.

"Oh, please! Eponine is awesome, for sure, but she's not the reason I like Les Mis. Les Mis takes a dark subject, but very important subject, and makes it accessible to all listeners! I cry every time I watch the movie! Each song is an anthem that makes you want to get up and build a barricade! While trying to kill everyone with a Nerf guns! Rent is just a musical that tries to be deep but comes out completely cheesy! So cheesy, in fact, that you could put it in a spray cheese can and sell it and no one would even know the difference!"

"Don't even - "

"As for Eponine and Enjolras, what is wrong with you, lady! Grantaire is the only man for Enjolras!"

"Grantaire and Enjolras is a pathetic ship, Angel and Collins is much better! Les Mis is so depressing, Rent is uplifting! Les Mis is just a - "

"Woah, woah, ladies, calm down! Be civil! Do you really want to argue about this?" Avis cried, finally stepping in. "Also, Hamilton."

"If she really thinks that Les Mis is better than Rent, then yes, I do want to argue!" growled Ebony, an inch away from Alex, her finger in the brunette's face.

"Well, if she really thinks that Rent is better than Les Miserables, then I want to argue too!"

Avis rolled her eyes, muttering under her breath about immature children and how Hamilton is clearly superior, but eventually addressed the two.

"Fine! Fine, you can argue! But only on one condition. We are having a cabinet battle, I mean, a rap battle!"

Alex turned to Avis, an expression of sheer panic on her face, while Ebony began laughing nervously.

"Like I'm going to stoop to the level of an impromptu rap battle with her," spat Ebony.

Alex's head whipped around, smelling weakness. "Oh, you think you can't win in a rap battle against me?"

"No, I could wipe the floor with you, I'm just tired, and my voice is sore because I was singing all of Rent's wonderful songs!" Ebony fired back.

"I mean if your voice is actually sore then we shouldn't have one, but those just sound like ex-cah-ouse-ses to me!"

"You know what! Just for that, I'm going to rap anyway, and beat you! Because my voice isn't too bad, thanks for asking."

"Yeah, of course!" Alex gushed, cracking her knuckles in preparation for what lay ahead.

Avis glanced between the two competitors, before pretending to hold a microphone up to her mouth.

"Alright, alright! Everyone, give it up, for the great beatboxer… Avis Drubbing! Now… Are you ready for a rap battle!"

Hey guys so what did you think of the new chapter? Excited for the rap battle (it'll be the next chapter, so the word count will be short, but it's a rap battle!?)? We already have one line!

And I already have the plan for the chapter after that so hopefully it won't be long before that's up!

Then again we say that every chapter!

Whatever we just have to try hard!

Love y'all, see you next time!

Bye-nii!
