The police station
"Alright you two hooligans! I'll ask again who sent you to attack the Suohs?!" Sophia didn't disguise herself as she was safe in the police station her hands on both the thieves' collars
"That's for us to know and you to find out!" their breath was hideous but she kept her composure
"This is your last chance!" she boomed a knock was heard at the door and she screamed
"What!" still clutching onto their collars
"We couldn't find anything on the Fujioka girl but we did manage to find a Haruhi Ootori!" Carl shouted back and he slammed the door again
Sophia shook her head and asked the question again
"We already told you…it's our little secret!" Sophia could tell this was going to be a long day
Somewhere in Tokyo…
"Did you get it?" the cloaked figure grinned and gave the other figure a vial
"Good work Cortex" every syllable was spat out like the poison the voice belonged to
"Not so bad yourself" "Cortex" replied
"The Suohs…are ours!" their voices faded to the sound of Thunder
The Ootori Mansion
Once again Kyouya was aroused from his sleep and still he could not keep his emotionless composure and answered the door to a very worried if slightly bewildered Tamaki.
"Kyouya my friend long time no see! I brought Éclair over if that's ok!"
He entered in as if he owned the place and Éclair followed after
"If that's Jo…tell her I'll be there in a minuet!" out stepped a very time conscious Haruhi
"Tamaki?" she wondered as if she'd seen a ghost Tamaki went for a hug but Haruhi refused
"Haruhi…it's been so long!" he wanted to hold her hand but she nudged away Éclair's eyes stayed put on the figure that lay before her
"Longer than you think!" she spat at him
"What's wrong with you?" Tamaki questioned
"You were never there for me…I waited for you to come back…and you didn't" Tamaki's amethyst eyes widened and Éclair rested her head on his chest whilst Haruhi exited the house and Kyouya made a phone call…
"You don't need her anymore…you have me" her blue eyes cast a glance of worry at Tamaki…
The police station
"Who is Cortex to you?!" she boomed, in all the hour they were there she had only got one piece of information out of the pair one name…Cortex, the pair laughed and she released her grasp on them and went out of the room.
"We had a phone call from Kyouya… he needs you at the Ootori's Mansion in Okinawa now!" someone shouted
"We have their finger prints…Drake and Som. Brothers they work for an organisation that is a well known crime organisation…their leader got married a few weeks ago…Their fingerprints match the ones we found on the Latches of the windows"
"Check the rooms in the Suoh mansion… who ever did this was an insider and make sure you bring every scrap and shred of evidence to Okinawa!" she shouted back as she excited the police station and drove to the Ootori's mansion in Okinawa…
Okinawa
The door got slammed with knocks and Kyouya opened it again
"Where is she?!" Sophia boomed as Tamaki entered through the hall wondering weather it was Haruhi and disappointment swelled through him
"Come through and we will talk about it…" Kyouya said
The tea's smells wafted through the air and they spent several minuets in silence
"Sophia has something on the case" Kyouya started and Tamki gave a signal for her to go on…
"Well…Our first clue came late… the latches on the window…that was our first indication that the job was an insider…" Sophia took a glance at Éclair and carried on
"The prints matched that of the insiders obviously and the thieves on Tuesday night…"
"And who was that?" Tamaki asked scoffing at how Sophia thought she was a detective
"All in good time… anyway in this case there was not much evidence to go on given that the first attack happened before Tamaki even arrived in Japan…that gave enough time for the culprit to wipe the fingerprints away. Tell me Éclair when did you arrive to Japan on request from his father?" Éclair laughed and sipped her tea and then said
"The day before…" Sophia closed her eyes and saw when she really arrived…Sophia gave a slight hmm and carried on but couldn't as the door got s third beating
They only heard a muffled conversation and the police walked in
"Sophia…here is what we found…" they held up a bag and placed it in her hand once again the eyes were closed and she found the position it was located in. the held the bag in the air and said
"Tamaki…does this look familiar? Surely with all the assets in your house you would know about the rings or jewels…" he shook his head and his grip around Éclair tightened
"Thought not…Éclair in your opinion where would this ring be placed on a bedside table…a box…or underneath a pillow?"
"I'd go for the box…" Sophia shook her head and said
"You see these lovely gentlemen found it under your pillow…it's too small to be an engagement ring to a man and too decorated to be an engagement ring in my opinion…If I take a closer look I hope to find an inscription…" She took out a magnifying glass and looked
"As I suspected…Cortex…" Tamaki's eyes glanced over to Éclair who now had fury dancing in her eyes and released his grip
"Is it true…" he asked she nodded but didn't say anything
"Book her…" she quietly said
"You have no proof that she killed anyone!"
"The prints match to the thieves we have in the knick…siblings…and if I'm not so bold I think you will find that it was all for the money… The Suoh empire…when she found out you were coming home she hid the wedding ring…and got Cortex's bullies to do the work for her…first your Grandmother…Then your father, you would have no choice but to go to France with your fiancée and as soon as the situation died down you would be wed and killed later on… so that the money officially belonged to her."
Police swarmed around her and put the cuffs on her petite wrists.
"You have not heard the end of me…you hear!" she said. Sophia sat down her head pounded never again would she use her psychic ability to solve a crime…
"Where is Charlotte?" Tamaki worried
"Here" Kyouya said and he nodded to Sophia to show him. She took out the wig and Contact lenses and put them on to show him
"She was undercover…she ricked her entire career as an esteemed celebrity to solve this… it would lessen the cameras that surrounded the case and keep you and herself safe" Tamaki stormed out of the room
"That went well!" Sophia placed her head in her hands and thought about Cortex…
