They were headed to Lucy's place now, the blonde bombshell in the drivers seat even though Natsu insisted. Before they left Natsu and Lucy went to talk to those around them, rather awkwardly to say. Natsu found facts about time found, wounds, and who found her. Sadly she was found about an hour ago with sharp cut like incisions in her neck and stomach and the worst of all her own sister found her when she was taking out the garbage.

Lucy on the other hand went to talk with the family, Elfman the two sisters brother had arrived and caused a giant ruckus causing multiply crews to hold him back. He had just come back from his job as a body guard to the Mistress Ever Green a cruel yet rich lady. Lucy had done a lot to help him calm down, and was able to get some information from the two siblings. She learned that Lisanna was at her job which was being a waitress at a local diner, also that she was supposed to get off of work from the dinner 2 hours before the time they (Mirajane) found her. (A total of three hours before Natsu and Lucy got there). She also learned that Lisanna had been vanishing off on her own a lot lately, but neither of the white haired people knew what for and didn't think too much about it.

Even though they both had been having a slow week, they were already worn out. They had stayed at the crime scene for hours trying to figure stuff out, put 1 and 1 together, and just cleaning up. So while they arrived at the office after dinner they just wanted some sleep. Lucy was gripping the steering wheel a little more forceful than the usually ten and two. But she currently did not care. Natsu leaned back his head slanted to stare out the window, his neck wringing into his scarf.

"I can't wait to sleep in an actual bed," He snorted rotating his gaze to the driver, trying to lighten the mood. She finally calmed down her grasp and nodded. "So... how's you date with that dork." He keep his eyes glued to her, her eyes slightly looking over to return his sight.

"He's not a dork! And he was okay, really sweet, and we have a lot in common... But..."

"But what?" He grinned, awaiting for the next sucker that didn't meet his Lucy's expectations.

"He's just not my type, and yes I know, I've said this the last seven times, but it's true all of them are so boring! They all try to much," She stuck her tongue out, mostly meaning it towards herself. "I don't know I think I'm just gonna take a break from dating."

"It's none of my business, but those guys are real suckers." He gave an evil grin, returning to there normal selves before the homicide. She raised a brow but he continued, "You go for nice guys, but ehh none of them have reached my approval."

"Who said I needed your opinion, acting all high and mighty like that's your choice." Lucy started turning the wheel, about a block away from her place. Continuing down the street awaiting Natsu's answer.

"Come on, I've known you for what 5, no 6 years? Also I'm a sheriff, I'm do all the interrogations so I think I can tell when someone is a little bitch" He gave one last smirk before she parallel parked next to her apartment. Both unbuckled they're seatbelt, exiting the car. But before they walked in Lucy called over her arms on the top of the Cadillac looking over at him.

"Well then warn me before hand, you smartass if you think you can 'judge so well' " She joked before walking around the car towards him. She click-clacked towards the door entering the door # pad, Natsu trailing behind. They stepped up three stair cases before coming up to her door, she pulled out a pair of keys unlocking the door allowing the two in. She basically fainted onto the couch throwing her feet onto the arm rest and her other arm over her head. "Hey Natsu!" She called as he looked around. "Take off my heels they're killing my feet." She raised one of her feet, he chuckled before taking off one stiletto then the other. She wriggled her scarlet painted toes. "Thank you."

"No prob," He plopped down onto the armchair left of the chair, while Lucy turned onto her side her eyes reaching him. "Hey you have any empty notebooks?"

"Yep, the the three to the most right on the top shelf," She pointed to a wall with a dark brown book shelf field completely with different styles of notebooks. He pushed himself out of the red chair. He took out a simple green 70 page notebook, one you'd use in highschool. He flipped through it double checking that it was empty, then taking a pen from on top of the shelf before returning to the little armchair. "What's it for?"

"Gotta take some notes," Natsu took the cap of the pen off with his teeth, holding it in between while he wrote Lisanna's name and some facts about this night. He scribbled down, his hand writing very rough and loose.

"Get some sleep first, the guest bed is set up," She pointed down the hallway, her bed was at the very end, a guest bed along the way, and a bathroom across from the guest room. She then curled up into the fetal position watching his eyebrows rise and fall with each word. He finally dropped the pen looking at her.

"Thanks but you're one to talk," He half joked.

"At least I go home every night to sleep in a bed," She snorted, before yawning and curling up into a tighter ball, her skirt slowly raised to above her knee's (from calf to above the knee) "Seriously though, it's been a long night. And i'm not gonna sleep till you do." She pointed. The room was quiet besides Natsu's small chuckle reaction. She remained quiet, watching him draw lines, and write words relating things from tonight. Even though there wasn't too much they had quite a bit down. She tried to look over at his notes, but was to tired to bother raising her head.

Natsu ran his fingers through his hair, moving them to the back of his neck. This happened every time he had a case, he worked nonstop on it. Lucy pleaded her warning because she figured this would happen, especially with the closeness to the deceased. But Natsu looked up to the clock it had been approximately an hour and a half since they had arrived at Lucy's house.

He looked up seeing Lucy still in her small curled up form, eye's closed, a small snoozing sound leaking from her mouth. He gave a small smile. "Not gonna sleep until I do, my ass," He sighed removing his focus from the notebook, straightening his legs as he walked over picking her up. He raised her into his arms, bridal style, her head leaning into his chest while her red painted toes swayed over his arm. "You're such a pain ya know that." He continued telling her small little comments her and their as he tucked her into the queen bed.

He was thinking of joining her, but figured a repetition of last time he slept in her bed. Last time he slept there he was drunk and Lucy didn't trust him to drive home so he slept in her guest room but woke up spooning her and received a kick to a place no man should be kicked especially at 9 in the morning. Even though her bed as he quotes "Was one of the most comfortable things in the world"

He raised the crème sheets over her shoulders, her head had moved off-center to look towards him. He smiled down at her, rethinking whether or not joining her, but decided against it. Lucy's mouth was slightly open small snores escaping, he gave one last smile before exiting the room to return back to his work.
