The body of Katsuko Fuchida, the prime suspect for the murder of Eijiro Fuchida, was lying in the middle of the bedroom. She was hardly recognizable, she had been torn to pieces much like the trees at the park.
"Michael," Robin spoke into the phone, her voice trembling at the sight before her, "Katsuko Fuchida is dead. It looks to be the work of the same witch that killed Katsuko Fuchida.
"Damn, this is going to make my job a lot harder. Looks like more research for me. Oh yeah, Doujima and everyone else checked out the rest of the suspects. They all came up clean. I'll call you if I get any leads." Michael said, typing away at his computer looking for information on who the killer could possibly be.
"Robin, get Karasuma, I want this place scryed."
Karasuma kneeled down and placed a gloved hand on Katsuko's remains. She expected a surge of painful memories. What she saw was nothing even remotely painful.
"Karasuma, what can you tell us?" Amon asked.
"It's odd, but she was happy before she died, in fact she wasn't even in her house, I'm not sure where she was." (A/N She would not of known about her husband's murder yet.)
"How can someone be happy before they die?" Robin asked, her voice faltering slightly.
"Whatever witch attacked Katsuko attacked her when she wasn't expecting it. Katsuko didn't even have time to be afraid, she must have died instantaneously. What's even stranger is I can't even see anyone who could of possibly attacked her."
"So she was probably attacked by someone she knew." Robin said quietly, more to herself than to the others.
"My thoughts exactly." Amon said. "I'm contacting Michael and I'm going to have him run a background check on Katsuko's family members and any close friends.
-----------------------Back at the Office-------------------
"So Michael do ya got anything for us yet?" Sakaki asked boredly.
"Katsuko had two daughters as we already know making them both seeds. The oldest daughter is 17 years old, Raku Fuchida. The youngest is 13, Ume Fuchida. We can eliminate Ume as a suspect, she was vacationing with her Aunt in the states. She got back to Japan earlier this afternoon. Raku Fuchida is, well isn't this interesting now! She ran away from home 3 months ago because her parents were going to send her to boarding school for uncontrollable behavior. She ran away the day she was supposed to start school. Isn't that interesting? I think we have a suspect." "Can you give me their locations Michael?" Amon asked.
"Sure, let's see... Ume is staying at a hotel about 150 miles away from Katsuko's place with her aunt. They probably don't know about Katsuko or Eijiro yet. Oh you're not going to like this," Michael said with a shake of the head, "Raku hasn't been spotted since she ran away."
"Give me news of her location as soon as you find out about her. Hand out a copy of her picture to the entire team. Doujima, Sakaki, and Karasuma will check out Ume." Amon said commandingly.
"Well its probably going to be a bit until we find out anything about Raku so you guys are probably in for a wait.
Robin was still quite exhausted about her adventure to the park at 2AM, she had only had a little more than 4 hours of sleep. It had been four hours since Doujima Sakaki and Karasuma left to go to Ume's hotel and still nothing had turned up on Raku. Robin finally spoke up, her need for sleep too great. "Ummm... I'm still kind of sleepy, would you mind if I took a nap on the couch until Michael finds something out?" Robin asked timidly, already anticipating one of Amon's usual responses to questions of that nature.
"Well, the search for Raku seems to be going no where, and I'm not doing anything so I can just drop you off at your apartment to get some sleep." Amon said less icily than normal, but still not in a way of affection or compassion.
"Are you sure?" Robin asked half-thankful, half-shocked.
"Would I of said it if I wasn't?" Amon said returning to his usual callused voice. Robin moved silently into the elevator. Not one of them said a word until they were half-way to Robin's apartment. Surprisingly, it was Amon who broke the silence.
"These murders, they are horrible aren't they? To think that this person was close to the Fuchidas makes these murders even more evil." Amon said with a distant voice.
"Amon?"
"Yes?"
"What went through your mind when you saw Eijiro?"
"You're asking me if I felt sorry for him or if I felt pity or compassion for him, right?"
"I guess so." Robin muttered hardly audible.
"It is human nature to feel pity for a human being who has died, I won't deny I felt that for Eijiro, but besides that I'm not sure. I know I felt bad for his children." The rest of the trip went on in an awkward silence until Robin reached for cardoor.
"Get some sleep, if you can't perform to the best of your abilities it endangers us all." Only unlike last time Amon's voice carried the words with a gentler note. Robin could of sworn she saw his lips curl into a smile.
Amon watched her enter her apartment with a rare smile.
-----------8 AM the next morning-----------
Robin rolled over slowly and opened one eye lazily to look at her alarm clock.8:00.
"Okay," Robin said to herself, "it is definitely 8PM." It was then that she saw the rays of light poking through her blinds. "Holy crap! I am so late! Doujima is going to beat me by at least half and hour to work!" She hastily got dressed, not even bothering with her handle-bar hair style and just let it hang down. As she came to the office door she heard a voice behind her. It was Doujima with a box of donuts from Harry's.
"Wow! Are you just now getting in?" Doujima asked surprised.
"Yeah, I had a rough day yesterday."
"Donut?" Doujima said, opening up the box of donuts.
"No thanks, I'm late as it is."
"I'll hang out here for a bit, it will make you look better if I'm about an hour later than you are."
"Ummm....thanks" Robin said, knowing that Doujima was probably just looking for yet another excuse from work.
When she walked inside Michael gave a low whistle. "Damn your late. You were going to get into a lot of trouble but Amon covered for you, said you had a rough day yesterday. Robin looked over to where Amon was sitting quietly. She walked up slowly behind him and put one hand on the back of his chair.
"Thanks." Robin whispered.
