Chapter 14: Breakdown

Kai sat in his office when his office phone went off. He picked it up lazily. "Detective Smith."

"Hello Kai, it's Jacob. I just got done talking to my boss and he said he'd be glad to let you keep stay on both Misako and your sister's cases." Said the Agent that had been trying to recruit him. "Seriously?" Kai said with slight excitement. "Yes sir! What do you say?" Jacob replied and Kai looked around his office. "Do I get my own office?"

Jacob sighed before Kai could hear him coving the mic. "Yes, you will get your own office. There is only one thing you might not like." Jacob said when he came back to the phone. "What is it?" Kai asked in curiosity as he started playing with a pencil. "You'll be placed with a partner." Jacob answered and Kai sighed as he sat back. "So long as whoever it is doesn't hold me back to much. The last time I had a partner the moron died taking a bullet because he was to prideful to listen to me." Kai said as he threw his pencil at the wall, stabbing it, before playing with a different pencil from his pencil jar.

"Don't worry, we only hire the best here at the RIU." Jacob assured him and he chuckled. "Alright, fine. I'll join. It'd be nice to work at the RIU." Kai said and Jacob chuckled. "We'll be glad to have you Detective Smith."

Kai walked into a high class apartment building and went into an elevator and pressed a button for the top floor. He walked down the hall and knocked on a door. When no answer was given he knocked again but harder.

"Police! Open up!" Kai called as he knocked a theirs time, but still no answer. He then kicked the door in and looked around the empty apartment. "FUCK!" Kai yelled as he kicked the wall by the door.

He then pulled out his cell and called Morro. "The address was a bust. I hope you have more reliable information for me." Kai said in annoyance, his anger still evident in his voice.

"I'll see what I can dig up. I'm sorry that didn't check out. This guy is super tricky." Morro replied from the other side. "Good." Kai said before hanging up and going back out to his squad car.

When Kai got off work he sat in his truck and rubbed his hand down his face as a tear slipped down his face. He then ran his hands through his hair as more tears fell down his cheeks. He then whipped his face before putting his keys in the ignition and starting up the car.

Before he could start moving the truck his cell went off and he picked up the call. "Hey, Kai." Came the nervous voice of his father. "Paw?" Kai said, the anguish still in his voice, making it obvious he'd been crying.

"Hey, you... You sound like you've been crying." Ray asked in a worried tone. "Yeah... I just..." Kai said before turning his truck off and letting his head lean against his steering wheel. "You can talk to me Kai. I want to be hear for you." Ray said and Kai chuckled dryly. "I didn't call to tell you, but... It's Nya... Paw, Nya was kidnapped." Kai said and Ray's end of the line went silent for a bit. "What happened?" He asked.

"She was waiting at a bus station after eating out with some friends when she was abducted." Kai said before sucking in a shaky breath. "I'm the detective on the case, but every damn time I find a lead it goes cold." He said as his desperation started showing in his voice. "I have a suspect, but I can't even locate the mother trucker." Kai growled out as another tear slipped out.

"It's gonna be okay. If you get to stressed over this you'll start missing things you'd usually see." Ray said, trying to calm Kai down.
