Thank you for the reviews! You guys are silly ^.^


I had tea ready for when Houshou, Yasuhara and Masako came back to the base.

"What the heck took you guys so long to help us?" Houshou asked.

I flushed guiltily, but reasoned that if Naru and Lin hadn't told anyone else about Gene yet then I didn't have the right to share.

"Lin was on a break." I mumbled, handing Naru his tea. "And Naru was… distracted."

"By what?" Masako asked, her voice sharp.

"By Mai. Can we focus on the case now?" Naru's tone was chilly even as a faint blush touched his cheeks and mine flamed red.
