Hi peeps,

A user has been nice enough to tell me that polls in the reviews are not allowed. So, as a result, there is now a poll on my profile where you can vote for the top suspect.

Any who,

THB4: I agree completely.

Poshboy: Why thank you! :D

Knight7572: Nice pun.

Dex's Diner was cramped, dark, dirty, and pretty much a hubbub of crime. The few tables that were in the sandwich restaurant were covered in dust, many chairs had bits of their legs missing or cracked, and the crowd inhabiting the place was not the most respectable. But it seemed Weiss and Ruby had no choice in the matter.

"Table for two." Weiss said.

The waitress led the duo to a table. She lit a cigarette and took a long drag, blowing the toxic fumes into the air around them."

"I'm Emerald, and I'll be your server for the night."

She slapped two torn, stained menus down on the table.

"Order or get out."

"I'll have a-"

"Strawberry sunrise. No ice." Ruby interrupted.

Weiss gave her a sideways glare.

Emerald rolled her eyes. "Good God, you're one of those couples." She muttered. She stalked off, leaving a trail of smoke in her wake.

"Ruby, I was going to order my own drink." Weiss remarked.

"You were gonna order something fancy." Ruby shot back.

"How would you know?"

Ruby merely raised an eyebrow.

"Okay, fine. I get it, but if you seriously think-"

"Weiss, there she is!" Ruby elbowed Weiss and pointed across the diner.

An older woman stomped into the room. She was tall, with red hair, and a gold circlet. Her sparkling green eyes swept across the room, looking for any signs of trouble. She sat down.

"Take a photo!"

Ruby took out her phone. She keyed in her passcode and discreetly photographed the strange woman.

A man came in, a blonde. He had a small knife sheathed right above his thigh. His hood was high over his face, concealing who he was.

Ruby's phone flashed once again.

The two unidentified people sat down at the table in front of them.

The sole lightbulb flickered and the man jumped.

"Oh, Jaune." The woman giggled.

Weiss scribbled 'Jaune, blond, presumed to be 18-21, around 1.85 metres" down on her notepad.

"You slay me." Jaune responded.

The redheaded woman looked around the diner. "Jaune, someone could be listening!" She whispered.

At this, Ruby got up and walked over to their table. Weiss did the same.

Ruby held up her badge. "Officer Ruby Rose, VPD, I need to ask you some questions about the murder of Summer Rose. Let's take this outside."

"Come on." Behind her, Weiss folded her arms and tilted her head, scowling.

The pair walked outside, followed by Jaune and his strange friend.

"We're gonna need names."

Blake smiled. Today had been a good day. She had just received a text from Ruby that they found the witness, and better yet, they even had a suspect.

Her phone buzzed.

RlyRlyKoolKid: We have them.

WeissQueen: Pick us up?

"Pyrrha Nikos."

"Jaune Arc."

Ruby grinned. "Okay, so, we just need to know which one of you knew about Summer Rose's murder before it happened."

"I did."

AW YEAH! I said I was taking a Christmas hiatus! NOPE. This is your gift tonight. As always, a review is greatly appreciated.
