Michiru woke up when the sun light slipped in to her eyelid. She blinked few times as her hand travelled to the space beside her. It's cold and empty. Michiru got up, registered herself alone in her room. Last night, she was together with the blonde detective occupied the queen sized bed of hers.

Together with the clothes on, of course. Michiru thought to herself. Actually, she didn't surprise to find Haruka had left her apartment early. What is it? The cold distance person like her wouldn't accept a fresh connection such as relationship.

The lawyer felt a slight disappointment and let out a deep sigh in the morning. Last night was her first time felt so safe and comfortable in her slumber. Without a doubt, it was because the blonde presences near her. Michiru slid her feet off the bed before she noticed a small white note on her desk.

I got a call, gotta leave early. I can't wake you up, so I made a breakfast as return favor.

-ps I hope you don't hate pancake.

Michiru's lips pulled to the side, forming a big smile while reading the note. She headed down toward the kitchen and found a plate of pancakes with strawberry slices on top of it.

How can she know I love strawberries? Michiru took a bite and chew carefully. The blonde detective not only awesome with a gun, but surprisingly she was also good in the kitchen.

"What do we have?" Haruka walked in to the scene. She ducked the yellow tapes then she met Mamoru's glance on her. The blonde put on the gloves, tried to ignore her partner's gaze on her.

"Caucasian female, 24, Jane Doe. Strangled to death. TOD about 10 until 12 hours ago, fresh murder scene."One of the forensic team gave a brief report. Haruka whispered thank you to the man because her unreliable partner avoided her.

"Mamoru!" Haruka couldn't hold it anymore.

"This is not your case, Haruka." Mamoru replied.

"I don't care."

"You should be resting in your home right now. You haven't got the permission to process the scene." Mamoru cleared the procedure once again. He walked around as he examined the body and the place.

"I said I don't care. You need help?" Haruka knew from her partner's look that he needed help badly.

"No. I can handle this little case."

"Really?" Unbelievable tone in Haruka's voice made Mamoru snap.

"Cut the crap Haruka! You were the hero last night! Just give this one for me, if you don't mind?" Mamoru faced Haruka.

"I do mind. I will give a little help in your little case. I am free afterall." The blonde grinned, she walked pass Mamoru and stride on the crime scene. Mamoru knew, this was a loss battle between him and the blonde. He accepted his defeat and paced along with Haruka.

"The murder weapon still missing, we believed that in an open space like this the weapon could be anywhere." Mamoru explained.

Haruka nodded, they are in a park now. The victim wore a red jogging suit and no sign of struggling on her body.

"Rough conclusion, but seems she was meeting someone she knew before she was like this." Haruka proceeded. She smirked and knew her partner hasn't reached that part yet.

"We should wait the Medical Examiner do their job. We will get the answers in 48 hours." Mamoru said. They both watched as the body was brought on a gurney.

"This will be a cold case if we wait those turtles do their job. No offense." Haruka shrugged.

"I know, procedure still procedure. They work the bodies based on urgency list."

Haruka's eyes followed a figure of an officer crouched down near a bench.

The uni jumped out and shout for back up. "There's something here!" He screamed, sounded a little freak out.

Mamoru took out his gun and ran to him, followed by Haruka behind.

"What is it?" Mamoru asked quickly.

"Sir, what do you think is this?" The officer pointed out a black box on the ground. The box was closed, and everyone could hear low ticks from inside.

Tick… tick… tick….

Low ticks like a clock ticking.

"Haruka… is it like we think?"

"… yes Mamoru. It is. Now, we have bunch reasons to kick the ME's butts for doing their job quicker."

"Isolated the area in radius 100 yards distance immediately! The fox bomber is back!"

"The question is… what is the connection between explosive and the body in a murder crime scene." Mamoru paced back and forth thinking and talking with himself.

"The case is homicide. The commander contacted Lieutenant White just now and said that we would work together with bomb squad team and special assault team. What a great combo, huh?" Mamoru again was talking to himself.

"Quit it."

"This case is yours, Haruka. Even Lieutenant gave you immediate order to be a lead detective on this case. You know the fox bombers that well, huh?"

Haruka didn't mind her partner's question. Her brain was working in full speed, she thought about some probabilities about the 2 cases in one place.

"Why don't we start with visiting an old friend?" Haruka got up, grabbed her jacket, badge, and gun.

"Who where?"

"My favorite place in this town." Haruka smirked.

Michiru finished her court early. She had plan to stop by in her favorite café to buy a latte and some snacks. She wanted to go out with her colleagues after work, but because another appointment, she couldn't. Her plan for tonight was to finish the DVD she had borrowed last week. Alone.

She wanted to cry. The lonely word was something she hates and pissed. The lawyer directed her car toward the city, as she waited for the red light turn to green, her mind wandered to the specific blonde. That was the first time someone made her a breakfast. Pancakes with strawberries on top of it. Michiru smiled, perhaps if the detective had not left a note and pancakes she wouldn't feel like there are butterflies in her stomach now.

Oh my God Michiru, stop thinking about her! The lawyer pinched her own cheek and startled with the horns from car behind. She was love sick, if only she could admit that.

"Come on, Jack, you were his partner. How come you don't know his plan about this?" Mamoru gave more pushes to the young man before him. Jack Elliot was once the prime suspect of fox bombers. It was revealed few months ago that the fox bomber consist of two people work as a team.

"I am still his partner, detective. You think I would give you the damn information?" His shackled hands shifted around above the table. Haruka noticed the unusual habit, Jack Elliot was hiding something.

"How about a trade?" Mamoru sighed, at the moment Haruka stepped up. She took over the investigation.

"Don't play around with me, Jack. You know I'm not that nice type detective…" Haruka grinned, her eyes was looking sharply to Jack's shoulder. Beneath the prison uniform, there was a bullet scar made by Haruka.

Jack didn't even flinch for Haruka's threat on him. He smirked widely, glared back into Haruka's eyes.

"I'm not scared. Anyway, should you be the one who's afraid now? He is not that nice type bomber either." The whisper came softly that only Haruka can listen.

"… Damn you, Jack! Tell me his fucking plan!" The blonde detective had reached her limit, she grabbed Jack's collar and slammed him on his chair.

"Haruka, stop it. You make him happy." Mamoru pulled Haruka quickly before she did anything else.

"… let's go Mamoru." Haruka took a deep breath as she adjusted her emotion. Jack called her amused before he was brought back by the officers to the cell.

"Yeah, Haruka, I will get out from here soon and fast. That's what partner does to each other, right?" Jack chuckled and the investigation ended there.

Michiru found herself standing in front of the police department. Sure, she had business here as she was asked for details in the previous case regarding Eric. However, it was finished few minutes ago, her eyes wandered through the building as she looking for the detective.

I am idiot, I am truly idiot, I am 100 percents idiot… Michiru chanted the words in her mind. She wanted to leave before someone caught her waiting for Haruka.

"Michiru…" Michiru bumped into someone she wanted to meet.

"Haruka…" The lawyer cheerfully greeted back.

"Ah, I know. You are here for the report in Eric's case right?" Haruka's mood turned 180 degrees. Mamoru noticed her 'I want to kill someone' atmosphere had changed to 'I am very happy to meet here' mood.

"Thanks for the pancakes, they are very good." Michiru smiled brightly, Haruka's heart fluttered a bit and her cheek blushed. If it's not because the damn case, she had enjoyed the breakfast together with the lawyer.

"Are you okay, Haruka?" Michiru caught the red color crept out from Haruka's face. The lawyer's hand unconsciously went to touch the detective's face.

"Actually you aren't cleared for active duty yet, right?" Michiru recalled the doctor's advice last night. If her boss wanted Haruka to lead the case, then it means the case status is emergency or very important case.

"I'm okay." The blonde cleared her throat in order to hide her nervous. She glanced to Mamoru, she didn't want verbally chased him out from the scene.

"What?" Mamoru mouthed, he enjoying the show.

"Go away." Haruka gestured and glared. Mamoru chuckled, he replied back whispered to Haruka.

"Really! Both of you, get a room already!" He laughed full of victory before Haruka kicked his ass.

Outside the precinct, someone was playing with his binocular. His spot was perfectly fine to watch the interaction of his favorite detective and his friend. He smiled and lifted his backpack from the ground. The wind on the rooftop unexpectedly was refreshing. It cleared his mind and his sights in this nice sunny day. From his backpack, he took out some long metal pipes. It only took him 30 second to build them into a sniper gun.

"Tenoh got a girlfriend, Tenoh got a girlfriend." He hummed along. The target already set, he made full round check before ready to pull the trigger.

"This gonna be fun. Three, two, one…" His finger moved, pulled the trigger off.
