It Takes Two
What the three men didn't see from their place behind the door as they were waiting, however, was that she was looking through the phone of the victim, and found something.
"Mom, I'll call you back later, I have to go back to work." She said, before bringing the phone down and looking back at the picture on the cell phone.
A young girl with red hair smiling next to a man with deep brown hair, their fingers intertwined.
"Neji, you can come in, I see you out there." She said, still looking long and hard at the phone.
He was amazed she could sense him, but walked in none-the-less.
"Have you found any suspect while you were…talking?" he said, hesitating before saying 'talking'.
"Yes, do you recognize this man?" she said, surprising him with a picture of them two.
"Who do you suppose he is to her?"
"Boyfriend, most likely."
They heard knocking on the door and they see Sakura walking in, and handing Tenten a folder. She opened it carefully, and her eyes widened at what she saw.
"Is this true?"
"Yes, look at the x-rays" Sakura said, pointing to the folder.
Neji looked at them inquisitively, and Tenten shoved the folder toward him.
He also scanned it like she did, and his eyes widened at this new found information.
"She was pregnant?" he asked, looking at the x-ray.
"Yes, this is confirmed." Sakura said, before nodding and walking back out the door.
"So, this is her boyfriend then…" she muttered, staring at the picture with interest.
"Find his identity." Was the last thing they said in unison before Kiba and Shikamaru walked in, taking the picture, and nodding. Shikamaru gave Neji a look which he waved off, and walked with Kiba to find the location of this person.
A few hours later, they came back looking out of breath, and telling her their location.
"Let's go!" she cheered as she walked out the door with Neji, Shikamaru, and Sasuke.
They reached a mechanics place and walked into the door, looking for the man the matched the description.
When they found no such man, they went to the owner and showed him the search warrant and asked where he went.
"Oh, he went on lunch break, but you can search now if you want."
"Okay, thank you."
They went to his locker and found a huge stack of money, some magazines and a jacket.
Their heads almost nodded in unison and started walking back to the owner.
"Thank you for letting us search, and please call us when he gets ba…" she said, trailing off as she saw the man they were looking for in the front. As soon as he saw them he ran out of the way.
"Follow him!" she said as she was running to catch up to him.
They neared the pier and Sasuke and Shikamaru caught him. But then he wriggled free of their grasp and ran toward the pier. He took one last look and jumped in.
They stared at each other and didn't know what to do when they got on the edge.
"If you aren't gonna do anything, then move out of the way!" Tenten exclaimed.
She took off her trench coat to reveal just a blue turtleneck and jumped into the water. She swam after him and started to drag him along. Neji arrived soon after she jumped in.
"Well, I guess we were wrong weren't we?" Shikamaru asked, looking amused at his new team leader.
"Yes we were." Neji replied, looking extremely surprised and impressed.
"Wow, our team leader sure knows how to kick butt," Sasuke said. "And the doctor from her team is hot and skilled too. Hey Neji, are you gonna go after her?"
"We cannot let personal matters get in the way of this job, understood?" he said sternly, looking at the two of them.
"Wow! Madam kicks butt!" Naruto exclaimed to Hinata and Sakura, making them both laugh.
"Yes she does." They replied, eating as they went along, telling the story of how she caught the criminal today.
"So, why did you kill your girlfriend's family and your girlfriend?" asked Tenten. Neji tried not to stare at her drying long hair, keeping his eyes only the guy, but he looks back whenever she talks, which was a good excuse.
"I DIDN'T KILL THEM!"
"Then why did we find grease on the dad's clothes, from an auto shop?"
"I came over that morning, but I didn't kill them!"
She nodded as she walked out of the room, then coming back with three cans of soda.
She took one for herself, one for Neji, and then slid one to him.
He gladly took one and opened it.
Seeing the look Neji gave her, she said, "It doesn't seem cold enough, I'll go cool it."
"Thanks" the interrogated man said.
She walked out the door and dropped it off, and came back a little while later.
"No point lying now, we have your fingerprint." She said, throwing the Ziploc bag at him. "So why did you kill Yumi Kurasaki and her family?"
He stared wide-eyed at the two police officers in front of him and decided to confess.
"Fine… that morning I came over to help Yumi with her car because it was broken. I was done so we went upstairs into the house for me to get a drink, but when we got up there, her dad was there."
He took a deep breath before continuing on.
"He never liked me, so when he saw me there, he took Yumi and pushed me away, yelling at me to go away, but I wouldn't, so I hit him with the wrench on the arm and Yumi got away from him. He was about to push me but Yumi got in the way and she hit the table. She…"
He looked very pained and tried to continue on.
"She what?" asked Neji, who was watching him intently.
"…She lost the baby."
Yea, not really a good cliffhanger but I'm not trying to make it one. I will try to update all my stories soon but that'll be hard because school's about to start in about 2 weeks. So I still have time to work on stories but after that the updates will be slower. I'm sorry! But I hope you liked this chapter so review!
