A small, petite young woman by the name of Aoki Lapis was perched on the staff room floor of her diamond and jewelry store. She was rummaging through some boxes that contained her new shipments of pearl necklaces, obviously not expected what happened next.
She heard a crash from the front of her store. Wondering what it was, she cautiously stepped aside the giant walls of boxes and opened the staff room door a crack. Immediatly, she closed it quietly and ran to the way back of the room, her heart beginning to beat fast. She shoved aside a couple boxes and made a wall underneath a shelf in the room, and with her petite body was able to squeeze into the corner hidden by the boxes. The was a small space just barely big enough for her tiny body to fit through by the wall, where she planned to escape if she needed to.
There was another crash, but louder this time. Lapis sucked in her breath, her heart about to burst through her tiny chest. She willed herself to stay quiet, terrified beyond words.
Suddenly, the door flew open. Lapis peeked through the small space, and almost screamed. An average height of a figure was standing in the doorway, wearing a dark blue ski mask with long, silvery hair tumbling down the back. The person held a knife in one hand, and what seemed to be a taser in the other.
The figure advanced closer in a slow, menancing pace. Then suddenly, she spoke.
"I know you're here." Her voice was high and shrill, quite annoying. Lapis stayed quiet, afraid she would be injured or possibly killed by this stranger.
Then, as fast as light, the woman rushed to the boxes where Lapis hid. The blue-headed woman's eyes widened, and she reacted by escaping through her space between the boxes and the wall. She ran as fast as she could out the door, and left her jewelry store and ran to her car. She quickly drove home, crying her eyes out.
As soon as she reached her house, she ran to her bedroom, sat in the closet, and cried. She pulled her phone from her pocket and called the police, hiccupping. "M-my jewelry store h-has b-b-been r-robbed..."
About an hour after this incident, Detective Kagamine was shouting at everyone she could see was in hearing distance.
"Shion! Another robbery case!" She swore loudly, and shook Detective Shion's shoulders violently. "Lapis-Lazuli's-was-robbed!" She screamed in between shakes.
"Rin, calm down!" Detective Shion said. "Now, what happened?"
"Lapis Lazuli's was robbed! Madam Aoki's jewelry store was robbed! Lapis Lazuli's Diamonds and Jewelry!"
"Oh my g- Madam Aoki was robbed?" Detective Shion's eyes widened.
"Yes! And get this: You remember that lock of silver hair we found at Hatsune's? Madam Aoki described the robber as slender and silver-haired. Silver hair. This could be a possible lead, Shion! Maybe Madam Aoki's case is somehow connected to Hatsune's!"
