Chapter 2: Alone and Afraid

-Raphael POV-
Fuck. I am late again. If I keep this up, I'm going to be fired in no time...

Sprinting down the high street with a bagel in my mouth, I went over the excuse in my head. Should I say there was construction? No... I used that excuse last week. Maybe I could say there was traffic? Oh wait... I used that excuse yesterday... who am I kidding, I don't even have a car...
"HEY! WATCH WHERE YOUR GOING!" someone shouted at me.
"S-Sorry..."

After a stressful 10 minutes of legging it down the high street, I finally arrived to work the night shift at my newly found job - Liberio Police Station.

Recently, and by sheer luck, I managed to pass the assessment which decides whether one is capable to become a police officer. Don't ask me how I passed... I don't know how I passed either.

Upon entering, the lady at the desk was not amused.
"Oh hi! I- well- I thought-"
"Just enter... I don't have time for your bullshit excuse this time, Raphael. You even work a night-shift... how are still late for that?!"
"Sorry..."

After 'explaining' to multiple officers why I am late again. I finally entered my office room as my partner in work, Maia, looked pissed.

Maia. A hot and cute detective that every man dreams for. She has killer legs, and looks amazing in those black tights she wears each day. Her dark brown hair was neatly tied up into a ponytail as she had a beautiful sent which came from her. Damn... she is like a goddess-
"Hey, pervert. Quit staring,"
"W-Wait no- I wasn't-"
"Whatever. Just get comfortable for the night. Heard it's going to be a cold one,"

Nonetheless, Maia took her job seriously. She was well respected, having solved many cases. Living by herself in a flat, not many people knows about her past. She has not told me either.

Maia POV
"So, Raphael. What is it this time?" I asked curiously.
"Hm?"
Seriously? How braindead is this guy... when it comes to assessments he scores absurdly high marks, but at the same time he is the most clueless human I have seen.
"Why are you late this time...?" I sighed in disappointment.

"Well you see..." he started. Oh great... now I have to prepare myself for a 30 minute explanation. I shouldn't have even asked...

-20 minutes later-
"...and then my shoes ended up being untied, but I was holding my case in one hand so I struggled to tie them. Eventually, I just forgot about them. However, due to this, I ended up tripping up midway when I was sprinting down-"

Someone entered our office. To my surprise, it was the chief which entered. Did he have a case he needed us to solve? It was rare that we would be needed at this time in the night.

Hopping off my chair, I saluted to him. Raphael followed, but ended up saluting with the wrong hand. Subtly, I nudged him in the ribs.
"Oi," I whispered. "Wrong hand dummy,"
In a panic, he quickly switched his arms.

"Officer Maia," the chief started as he began flipping through some paper work. "There have been reports of gunfire towards just down the street from here. Since both of you have not been on a case for a while, I thought you would like to attend to it,"

Finally. A case. For the past 2 weeks, I have just been sitting on my ass doing nothing while having Raphael entertain me.
"Provide me with the information and Raphael and I will be on our way,"
"Good. Reports say that there was some shouting in the house the gunshot came from. After a single shot, nothing else was heard,"
