After stormed out from the cafe with fury, Michiru ran like a fool toward the crowded sidewalk. She hates the detective, attacking her like that while she was in her weakest state. She thought the blonde was the only one she can rely to about the matter. She was wrong. Michiru stopped running, stood in the middle of people and tried to regain her composure. Michiru just realized how far she had been running. Now, her ankles were paying the price, they were throbbing and aching on her heels. Like the day couldn't be worse, Michiru took off her shoes and walked bare feet to call a cab back to the precinct.
Not until a hand grabbed her wrist suddenly. As reflex, Michiru swung her shoes toward the person, expecting an aggressive stranger were attacking her.
"Let go of me!" Michiru was ready to scream for help.
"Hey, it's me!" Haruka dodged from the flying shoes and move to grab the aquanette's shoulder instead.
Michiru surprised and stopped swinging her shoes at instance, she dumbstruck with Haruka's sudden appearance. For seconds there, she forgot she was mad with the blonde.
"What are you doing here? I think you are busy with your righteous job?" She shot a glare to the detective.
"Do not start it, Miss Kaioh. I know I'm a douchebag and jerk, I regret throwing things to you. I'm sorry." Haruka apologized. It need all of her pride to apologize to someone and now she was doing it for the lawyer.
Michiru's expression changed from anger to confuse. She didn't expect that coming. She would be the bad person if she didn't forgive the detective.
"Let go of me, it hurts." Michiru replied back coldly.
Haruka released Michiru's wrist, unnoticed she grabbed her very tight.
"I'm sorry." Haruka's sight fell on Michiru's bare feet. No wonder she had difficulty to chase the lawyer, she ran really fast on those heels.
"Let me take you home." Haruka offered herself to be the chauffeur.
"I'll be fine by myself. I'm fine until you come and speak mean things to me." Michiru desperately defended her dignity from the blonde.
"Are you sure?" Haruka's brow lifted an inch, knowing where the conversation would be going.
"I will call the cab and go back to the precinct then take my car." Michiru declared her plan, she then facing the street waiting for the yellow car pass through.
"You can wait, taxi rarely passing through this neighborhood. You should go to the main street few miles from here. This is because you ran too far, Miss Kaioh." Haruka held back her chuckle and waiting for the aquanette's next reaction.
Michiru didn't want to believe the detective, but if it were true then she has to walk again. Michiru sighed, and turned back to the blonde who still standing on her spot.
"So?" Victory was written all over Haruka's face.
"This because I cannot walk any further than this. I accept your offer." Michiru wanted to rip off the blonde's expression right now. She would repay this humiliation someday.
"Okay, princess. Here." Haruka crouched down, facing her back to Michiru.
"Get up. You said you unable to walk more than this."
Michiru's mouth opened, want to reply back but couldn't find the right words.
"No way." Finally she answered.
"Why?" Haruka asked back.
"People are watching." Michiru looked around. There were some people looking at them like they were watching movies.
"So? It makes me happier to embarrass you." Haruka grinned, looking back to Michiru from her shoulder and gestured.
"Quick, we don't have all the time in the world."
Michiru left with no choice. She would take this humiliation only this time.
"Okay, are you set up there? Let's go back." Haruka stood up after Michiru done circling her arms around the detective's neck. This was Michiru's first time getting a piggyback ride. She felt her face reddened and hotter because unexplainable reason.
"What you had for breakfast?" Haruka murmured on the way back.
"Excuse me? What do you mean?"
"I feel like I am bringing a pregnant cow on my back." Haruka smiled then chuckled. She was lying, actually the lawyer was lighter than she expected.
She should put on more weight. Haruka thought.
"That's very rude, detective." Michiru complained, she recalled her weight was decreased 4 pounds last week.
I will seriously make my revenge. Michiru promised to herself.

"Yo! Haruka! You are late again." Mamoru was doing her paperwork once she got back. The guy didn't even protest about the piles of tasks because he is the new guy in the department. Even though, he and Haruka already make a partner bond with each other.
"Same reason different trouble." Haruka replied briefly and went to the coffee machine.
"The hot lawyer? Wow, my gut telling you guys are going out." Mamoru blurted out without even care to look on Haruka. If the black haired guy caught Haruka's priceless expression from his comment, he would mock her for the rest of week.
"No the hell way. Coincidence then accident followed by huge troubles and misunderstanding." Haruka couldn't even concentrate because Mamoru.
"Really? Sound like a very complicated relationship to me." Again Mamoru made a comment that make Haruka fluttered. This time, her partner caught the scene and smiled.
"I smell trouble and pink atmosphere too…" Mamoru continued with different intention for her partner.
"Shut up."
"You like her! Oh My God! You are in love with our current enemy!" Mamoru went to her fake shocked expression.
"I say shut up!" Haruka threw a mechanical pencil to her partner, Mamoru dodged easily.
"Okay, I won't bring up the topic. By the way, there is a cold case for you. The documents are already on your desk. I took a peek just a few though." Mamoru said as he continued typing his computer.
"This cold case related to our case now. Eric." Haruka opened the files and only took 3 seconds and put it down again.
"The guy sure is a total creep."
"Yeah." Haruka's thought wandered to Michiru. The lawyer had been anxious about her client mental condition. He is a sociopath, everyone know the facts. The thing is, Haruka suddenly worried about her.
The phone rang twice, Mamoru took it.
"Okay, we will dispatch some units to the address." Mamoru replied the phone while his eyes searching for Haruka's. Considered it was an urgent call, Haruka approached him.
"What is it?"
"Bad news and bad news. Which one you want to hear first?" Mamoru hang up the phone.
"The worst one first."
"Eric escaped from custody few hours ago." Mamoru said. Haruka's face went pale and her jaw tightened. They just let a psychopath killer on the loose.
"The next bad news?"
"We believed that Eric broke into someone's apartment after his escape. Some units have been dispatch to this address." Mamoru showed the address to the monitor, and let Haruka to see it.
"Damn!" Haruka cursed then took her badge and gun from her drawer, ready to go.
"We should make a report to lieutenant first," Mamoru reminded her partner.
"Fuck for that! You do that!" Haruka shouted back.
"Whose address is it, Haruka?" Understand with the Haruka's reaction, Mamoru concluded that Haruka knew the address.
"It was Kaioh residence." With that, Haruka went out to her car and drove fast toward the lawyer's apartment.
