A/N: A subscriber! Thank you to EverlastingDayDreamer. I'll read your stories if you post any! Just in case I didn't make it clear, there will be no twincest in this fanfic. Zero.

Enjoy!

Rin flopped back onto the couch.

"How are you feeling?" Mikuo asked.

"I'm fine."

Len looked at Rin skeptically. "Are you sure?"

Rin pressed her lips together. She hated making Len worry. "I feel a bit sick," she admitted. Actually, she felt nauseas, dizzy, light-headed and really hot.

Len put his hand to his forehead and his other hand on Rin's "Woah! Rin you're burning up! Go to your bedroom and rest." Len ordered, pointing to the bedroom.

Rin quickly obeyed, not wanting to make Len anymore worried.

Mikuo poked Len in the shoulder. "So, what about work?"

"Ah! I completely forgot. I have to call Haku!" Len pulled out his cell phone and dialed Haku's number.

"Hello?"

"Oh, hello, Dell. Rin and I aren't coming to work today."

"Trying to skip out on the job, huh?"

Len blushed. "No, Rin got a fever, so I'm staying home to watch over her. I'll work extra tomorrow to make up for it."

Dell grunted. "You don't need to do that. Haku was just going to call to tell you that you get a day off today."

"Why?"

"Because we're having a PAR-TAY!" Haku yelled. Her speech sounded slurred. This was followed by a bout of raucous laughter.

"Eh, that was Haku. She's drunk already. Whatever. See you tomorrow. Bye."

"Bye-" Dell hang up the phone before Len even finished speaking.

Mikuo raised an eyebrow at Len. "Those are some interesting people you're working for."

The next day, Rin's fever was gone.

Rin and Len arrived at the detective agency early. Len started to open the door, but Rin grabbed his shoulder. "You heard Haku yesterday. Last time there was alcohol in the air, you almost threw up. Wait outside."

Len nodded, feeling queasy just thinking about the smell. Rin opened the door. Sure enough, the air was thick with the smell of alcohol. Rin entered the office. Haku was slumped over her desk, asleep.

Dell, however, was wide awake. He was talking with someone on the phone. He put a finger up, motioning for Rin to be quiet. Dell scribbled something on a pad of paper.

"Okay, new case," he said, hanging up. He turned to Rin. "Where's that brother of yours?"

Rin pointed at the door. Dell frowned. "Kids these days need so much." Grunting, he stood up and found some air freshener. "Spray this around, then tell him to come inside."

Rin took the bottle and sprayed it everywhere. She walked outside and grabbed Len's hand, pulling him inside.

Dell had woken up Haku, who was looking rubbing the sleep from her eyes.

"Meiko got a call from a lady. She said she found her husband dead when she came home. We don't know the cause of death because she was too scared to touch him. We don't have many details, so we have to go to her house."

The police were already at the house. Meiko led the detectives to the room the dead man was in. "We can't tell the cause of the death just by looking."

The room contained a bed, a desk, a lamp and a window. All these things were pretty close together.

Haku passed pairs of gloves around. They stepped up to the dead man to get a closer look at him. He wore a red shirt and jeans. Around 28 years old. Rin pointed at the fabric around the man's chest.

"Is that torn there?" They all looked closer and found that, indeed it was torn.

Haku brought out a pair of scissors. "Shall we?" She cut the man's shirt off. Right above his heart, there was a puncture. A bit of blood leaked out of the wound, but otherwise he looked fine. "So he didn't die from blood loss or any regular knife."

Dell put his hand over the wound. "The area around it is colder than the rest of his body."

Rin asked Meiko if they could interview the wife. Meiko said they could and went off to find the lady.

Minutes later, Meiko led a lady to the room. She looked scared. "You-ou wanted to as-ask me som-something?"

"Do you freeze blocks of ice?" RIn asked.

What kind of question is that? Len wondered

The lady looked surprised. "Well, actually, yes we do. We've been buying blocks of ice because our freezer broke."

"Are the ice blocks perfectly cut cubes?"

"Ye-yes, I'm pretty sure they are."

Rin held her hand out. "Can I see your hands, please?"

The lady put her hands out. They were perfectly normal hands. Rin thanked the lady and let Haku interrogate her.

"Did you figure it out?" Len asked.

"I know the cause of death, but I don't know who did it."

Haku turned around. "Really? What's the cause of death?"

"He was stabbed by an icicle. The icicle prevented much blood to flow out, but the fact he was wearing a red shirt helped hide any blood. Then the window melted the ice and evaporated the water."

Dell thought it over. "That makes sense. But why'd you ask to see her hand?"

"If ice is sharp and cleanly cut, it could easily cut your hand if you're not careful. And if she was planning on killing her husband, she'd probably be trembling and would accidentally cut her hand." Rin sighed. "But that isn't the case."

Meiko grabbed Rin's wrist. "Aha! So it was you who killed this man."

"What? I've never seen him in my whole life."

Meiko grinned at her grimly. "All the evidence points to you. You seem to know a lot about this case." She flipped Rin's hand around. "And you have scars on your hand. Plus, we know that you're a psychopath, so I wouldn't put it past you."

Rin felt anger fill her. "Let go of me, you old hag! I don't even know this man. Why would I want to kill him?"

"No one knows how a psychopath thinks."

Rin gritted her teeth. "No one understands how a psychopath thinks because the people who misunderstand are a horde of idiots!"

Meiko glared at Rin. "What did you just call me?"

"I called you an idiot. That's what. A dirty, lying, old hag of an idiot!"

Meiko slapped Rin. Then she took several deep breaths. "Do you have any people who can prove me wrong?"

Rin grinned. "Actually, yes." She pointed at Len. "I was at home all day from the time school ended to this morning. Then I was at school until I came to the detective agency when you called."

Meiko frowned. "Your logic has a lot of holes." She turned to Len. "Did you watch her all night yesterday?"

"Well, no…but I'm sure she stayed in her room all the time."

"You don't know for sure. She could have snuck out when you weren't watching, then returned and acted like nothing happened."

Rin found an opening. "There's no way I could come here and go back home in two hours walking or running."

"You could have stolen a car. I wouldn't put that past you either." Meiko turned to the other police officers. "Give me a pair of handcuffs. We're taking this little girl into custody."

"You can't do that, you old hag!"

Meiko snapped her gaze back to Rin. "Shut up, you little twerp. I can, I'm chief."

Len watched all this helplessly. It was true; he didn't have anything in Rin's defense. Rin was dragged into a police car and sent to the police station. Again.

Why am I so useless?

A/N: Sorry, the plot isn't that good. I'm in a bit of a hurry. The man and lady don't have identities, haha. Bad Meiko! You're a dirty, lying, old hag of an idiot!

Thanks for reading.
