Chapter 74: Today was exceptional

"Wake up, Zane." The one yelling was not Mr.Heriss but Sutasi. He's a good guy. He takes care of me from time to time. Not to mention when he's done with his work, he would play with me. I had fun time spending with him. Other than him and Mr.Heriss, Kelan is also a nice guy. He always speaks with a smile on his face, a very reliable guy indeed. I got off the bed while yearning. I didn't notice that Sutasi had given me the breakfast on the table. I washed my face and finished business. After that, I went to the table that had the break laid. When I looked around I saw no one. Had all left for work? Usually, I was never so late however today was exceptional. I had a bad, really bad nightmare this morning. I was not sure what that nightmare even mean. I took my breakfast alone while thinking about how I changed. I'm saying like an old man. Don't I? The one I can't get along with is that girl "Luna.." She's out of my radar. She always gives me a scornful expression whenever she sees me. Is that her habit? Unable to understand her I left the possibility of getting along with her. The next one 'Jodan' I'm really grateful to him for being me here. He becomes nervous every time he speaks. But lately, he has gotten rid of it. Well, no fully. He still lacks some confidence. As I was grinning and thinking about them, Sutasi noticed me. I was so driven into thoughts that I didn't notice his presence.

"So, wanna come to the shop today?" He asked me a usual question. Most of my days I spend there for the sole reason of playing with him. When the workload is less, he would join me in playing or would teach me various kinds of stuff.

"...Fine." I thought for a while and came to a conclusion.

"Then hurry. I'm leaving right now." Hearing that I quickly gulped the remaining bread and went his way. He rubbed my head a bit and said

"Let's go." His voice has unwavering confidence in it. I don't know who else has such a voice.

As usual, we walked all the way.

When entering the shop my eyes met with an unknown person. I have no connection with him nor I have seen him anywhere. He had a small diary in his and began negotiating with Mr.Heriss. His hand was moving faster than his mouth. Beside him was another individual. He seemed much younger than him. He was doing the same except not talking. As our eyes met he gave an intense look that gave chill throughout my body.

"Oh, that's my son. He visits here when the school is off. Quite a troublesome isn't he? fufu…" Mr. Heriss introduced me not by my real identity. He was smiling broadly. His grinning eyes looked kind of fake. The man is about his eyes from me as he finds no interest in me. He had a serious appearance altogether. Sutasi pulled my hand that was holding with his slide, saying that we should move on. In truth, it wasn't our place to speak.

"Okay, let me ask you some more questions." As we went in in the negotiation begin again. Sutasi went on his slot. However, I left behind while hiding in the corner. I was in a place where no one could find him. It's like a loophole in this shop. I hide here when I don't have anything to do.

"Have you noticed anything unusual about him? Anything would do."

"Well, he was a nice boy. In addition to that, he was very frugal. I hardly believe that he's a monster. His eyes were downcast all the time. Not to mention he lacks ambition and confidence. He would never get his way and ask me to pay him earlier. That's the kind of kid he was."

"You sure trust him."

"Of course I'm. Even though he's not here working for me, I hope that the false accusation he got to be resolved." Mr. Heriss was saying with his head high. He didn't show any sense of humor in it.

"So, did he said anything like why he's leaving the job?" That man didn't just stop questioning. Is it that fun of a game?

"Yea' he said something like he was moving in 'CPA-3' or so. But I don't know the details. It's not good to seek in someone's private matter."

"Every part-time job he took lasted around one or two months. But your one lasted a bit more. Is there any specific reason?"

"I can't say why he did that. But I can grasp that our hospitality and behavior mannerisms were the reason. It's just an assumption nothing more." Mr. Heriss was tackling his question very nicely. By the looks, I could grasp it's about 'Jodan'. I mean he's all over the news. But for a while the news about the suspect 'Jodan' stopped. Why is that? Did the case close? It can't be then why's that man questioning Mr.Heriss.

"If you don't mind can we look inside your shop? It wouldn't take too long I promise. It would be a pleasure to us." The man said politely. What would Mr.Heriss do? He can't just shut them, can he? That way they would get more suspicious.

"....You see my workers are working hard inside. It would be a problem if you disturb them"

"No, we would do anything that would make them irritated."

"Than sure. I don't mind."

"Also I want to ask the employees about him. Would that be a hinder?"

"No, not at all. If it helps you any way I gladly invite you."

They moved inside and they didn't even notice me as I was hiding in a tough place.

"Is it fun hearing others' conversation?"

"Woah!" I jumped out in surprise. How did Sutasi find me? I have to be very conscious about him. He's a deadly guy. My conception Of him changed greatly.

That detective … I uttered in my mind. "You mightn't remember me but I have remembered…"

Chapter 75: He’s really weak

[Today's news:

The building rooftop is damaged in several areas. The constriction employees said that it wasn't their fault. It hasn't been proven that it wasn't their fault. However, the specialist believes that it couldn't have been done by them as the damage was more impactful although the police hadn't taken it into account. They likely closed the investigation. The alley next to it is also damaged. The road was upside down by an enormous amount of force. For further information follow us in----]

"Can you turn the tv off Kelan?" Mr. Heiress asked as he entered the department. The Tv was on for the news to get to us. It was atop placed by two large plates of metal. Mr. Heriss knew I had the Tv remote so he asked me. I turned it off as he ordered. However, He was not alone. Someone was following him behind. His appearance was enough to get Kelan suspicious. That man was indeed a detective. The long coat, a small handy diary for writing down quick information, the old rusty gun that was peeking behind his coat was eagerly waiting for a shot. He entered and glanced all around, without making any eye contact with any of us. They glazed all the surround including my knives for at least sixty seconds. I could feel the chills he's giving. Like always I made a wide smile. It's my usual appearance, always smile so that no one gets suspicious of you.

Now that an unexpected visitor had got into our space, everyone looked at him with great wonder as if he's an alien or something.

"Don't worry about them." Wait, them? As Mr. Heriss said that I looked behind that detective and found another person who doesn't seem like he liked this kind of bloody stuff. He was undoubtedly avoiding all over those by looking down. A weak-hearted human, I see.

"They just here to investigate for a case. Don't mind him and get your work done otherwise you have to work overnight." Somehow I felt like a corporate worker. Whatever it's not like I had many things to wrap up. We then again concentrated on our doings while the man and his weak-hearted acquaintance advanced with their so-called investigation. They first examined the whole area little by little. The weak-hearted one was scared at first but he quickly adjusted and began taking notes in his diary. Detectives have to go through many hardships, don't they?

For example, even if you hate gore stuff, you would still need to investigate that kind of place regardless of your fears. I mean if you have higher authority on your side you might get off the hock. That's just an exceptional case. Not all can be the chief's son or daughter. I nonchalantly sliced through the meat that had a lot of fat in it. As the meat divided itself from the other half, my bare eyes met with the detective. He was looking at me intensely. I didn't notice it earlier but his eyes were filled with excitement as if the child got himself another toy to play with. I smiled at her acting normal and then concentrated back on my work. This time I didn't look in any direction and stayed in my range of sights. In that matter of time, My glazed was snatched by that man again. He was right before my very eyes looking directly at me without blinking for once. I was also doing the same. Timepass by we kept looking at each other as I find curiosity in his dark circled eyes. The eyelashes were long yet short. The winkles were visible at this close. The rough and smooth edges of his old face were kind of getting a tense feeling. To break the silence I took the initiative.

"Um…. Do… DO you need anything?" I was kind of nervous at the same time curious. For better or worse I was on my guard. Whatever happened he can't get through me. Detectives are scary. They had to be scary as they fight monsters. The creature everyone fears for. They can't just sit in their seat doing nothing. Most of the time Mr.Heriss deal with this kind of thing alone. But for some reason today was exceptional.

"Apparently, Yes. I need to get some information about Jodan. You know him right?"

"Mr. LUkas you can't just scare them like that?" It was not Mr. Herriss who said it was his acquaintance who complained.

"Well, I was just asking him some important questions. Didn't I?" He threw that one to me. "Y-Yeah" I nodded slightly.

"So, you're name is Kelan, right?"

I nodded in agreement.

"Can you come to the side for a moment? It wouldn't take too long?" After asking like that I can't just decline it. I went out of my slot and stood a bit distanced from the area. He unconditionally followed in my footsteps. Of course, he had his sidekick beside him. This is really a troublesome thing.

"Sorry for the inconvenience." He apologized.

"N-No, that's not a problem. It's okay."

"Where's Jodan hiding?" Huh? I came out of nowhere. Did he get through our plan? After all, Mr. Heriss came with this more or less.

"I don't understand what do mean by that?" I didn't put down my mask. The mask of a loop of smiles. I created it through many years of practice. I believe it more than anything. After all, No customers were able to tell it apart.

"Just drop the act." Even if he says that. I wouldn't drop the act.

"Mr. Lukas?" His assistance said with a lot of amusement. He was shocked along with me.

"Huh? What happened?" He said as if he wasn't in his self a moment ago.

"You can't just force yourself on others." His acquaintance said with his eyebrow crossed. He had an angry poker look on his face.

"Oh right! I'm extremely sorry for that." He apologized again.

"it's okay. You should often take a rest from your work. I don't want to be rude but you're getting old."

"It's true I'm but my prediction isn't." That was an unusual answer.

"Okay, How's Jodan at work?"

"To tell you the truth, he's really weak and extremely frugal to handle. As a fellow worker here he had a hard time adjusting to the environment.
