Yiihane: THERE!! I freaking DID IT!! Bunches of apologies who people have been waiting FOREVER for this! All those butt kicking gave me some sense to get my rear in gear! (And OWIE!)

But first I have a note to a friend (Shango) I DID NOT flame your story, I was teasing at the fact of Sesshomaru smiling because, c'mon, he practically shows no emotion in the show =P but he defiantly should more.

"Hm.I can see why it isn't adding up." Both Thomas and Van were leaning over the list of names. "Yeah, so do I." Thomas took a pen and added something to each name.' Where at the time of murder'.

"Ok, we don't know where Reese or Hiltz were, so we'll put question marks on them," He did so." Now Raven was at the institude, there's no may he could have done it, and for me, I was out of town." Thomas put 'institute' on Raven, and 'out of town' on himself.

Van looked up at him." I didn't know you were out of town."

"Do I really need a reason to call YOU every time I decide to leave somewhere?" Thomas asked a bit hotly.

".No."Van replied quietly. 'Wow, someone's in a bad mood.'

"Can I drive now?"

"No."

"Now?"

"NO."

".Now?"

"Irvine.. I'm warning you.."

"Heh,sorry."

Moonbay sighed as they left the café

Irvine could be such a kid at times.

"So, where to now, O-One-Who-Hogs-The-Wheel?" Moonbay shot him a side ways glare. "Hey! I DO NOT hog the wheel! It's MY car! And I don't know, were do you want to go?"

"Uh.. how about the park?"

Moonbay gave a little shrug. "Alright." She fishtailed slightly and headed for the park. Luckily missing some innocent bystanders.

"What exactly are we going to do when we get there?"

Irvine looked away shrugging. "I don't know. Whatever I guess."

"That sounds mildly boring.." Moonbay mumbled slightly.

Irvine deiced to ignore that comment and focus on the little white line on the road.

"Man! Just go in there! The guy gotta eat."

"But-!"

"GO!"

Ok ok.. sheesh.."

The nervous co-worker slowly entered the lunatic's cell, with a tray of breakfast shaking in his hands. He approached the cot, hating his job.

"Hey, hey you! Time to eat!" He tried to sound tough, but it only came out squeaky. The man on the cot didn't seem to hear him; his back was facing the co-worker. "Hey! I'm talking to you!"

The co-worker rolled the black haired man roughly by the shoulders, but a second later, he regretted looking into those lost and empty lavender eyes.

Dropping the tray suddenly, of which splattered all over the floor, ran for his life out of that cell of death.

Bring. Bring. Bring. Van got up and answered the phone. "Hello?" He paused to listen to the caller speak. "Wait, what??" Another pause." Yeah I know him, what happened?" Pause again. Thomas looked up. "Alright, I'm coming.yes I will." Van all but slammed the phone down on the holder.

He was beginning to hate these evil devices ((A/N: Here here!))

Van threw a glance at Thomas, who was just standing up from his chair.

"We have to leave, now."

"Moonbay! Slow down!" Irvine panted as he ran to follow Moonbay, who was miles a head of him. The moment she spotted the playground, she squealed with delight of a 3 year old and took off.

Irvine mentally degraded himself for slacking off at the gym visits.

"Hurry up Irvine! Its not everyday the parks empty!" Moonbay yelled over her shoulder as she jumped onto the monkey bars.

'To hell with running.' Irvine slowed to a walk, one reason to catch his breath and the other to annoy Moonbay.

Once he had arrived, Moonbay had already covered the monkey bars, the slide twice, the merry-go-round, and was now resting on a swing. Irvine servad her while leaning against the wooden beam of the tire swing.

With her hair slightly fizzed with play, and her cheeks tinted red with exhastion, he thought looked rather cute. He shook his head mentally as she looked up at him with a raised eyebrow. "Well? Are you gonna push me or not?" She threw in a cocky smile on top of it. Irvine smirked back and walked over behind her. Grasping the linked chains, he pulled back and pushed.

After a while of pushing, and Moonbay's pleasant giggles, Irvine found himself thinking how he could get use to being the pusher, especially if the swinger was Moonbay, but he thought the experience would be even better if the swinger was a kid.probably one of their kids even.

Van and Thomas stood back as two brood-shouldered men wrestled with a body back out of the cell. Van stepped in first, his eyes sweeping over the sea of investigators, police, and a couple of people who must work at the facility. Thomas walked in behind him. A man with slightly balding hair, looking like he was in his late forties, walked up to them like anyone would to an old friend.

"Van Flynhight?" Van nodded.

"Yeah.what happened?"

"It would appear that Raven committed suicide." He indicated to the number marked edvidince around the room." There are traces of drugs on the floor. However, how he obtained the drugs we don't know. Shame he went crazy a few months before he was to be released."

Van frowned. The crime scence, if indeed it was a crime and not a suicide, was far to clean for his likeing. "The coroner will prove what it really was that killed Raven."

"As well as phscaratrist reports."Thomas added vaguely.

Van walked close to the bed." Who found him?"

The investigator pointed to a staff member currently being questioned on eh other side of the room." That guy right there. Poor man, he was still pale as a sheet when we arrived." Thomas frowned." What I don't understand is, why did you invite us down here in the first place."

"Because we have reason to believe that Raven's suspected suicide is linked with your friend Fiona's murder."

Van swore he felt his heart stop for a few seconds.

Yiihane: THERE! Mwhahah scaring isn't it?? Ugh, this chapter sucks, I am not pleased with it at all ;; but review and tell me differently I guess.

The next chapter I apparently haven't started yet, schools coming up and the fair and a wedding this weekend (In fact, as we speak I'm waiting to get my hair and make done in an hour or so)

I'm really really sorry if the wait for the next chapter is even longer ^^;;
