"Have I ever told you how sexy you sound reading someone their Miranda rights?"
Chantelle throws her head back against his shoulder with laughter. "No, but you have now."

"Oh god, it smells amazing in here." Taehyung groans when they walk into the small pizzeria. It's tucked right in the heart of Manhattan, but it's one of those mom and pop shops that don't garner much attention.
Chantelle doesn't mind it though, it just means more pizza for her. The location is a hidden treasure that she has only shared with her favorite coworkers. As for why she's bringing Taehyung here, she's just hungry and refuses to settle for mediocre pizza.
After they order, they sit down at a small round metal table with their food. Chantelle watches him intently as he takes his first bite, waiting to see his reaction.
He chews quickly, his cheeks bulging and his lips forming an adorable pout as he does so. The sight instantly reminds Chantelle of her pet bunny.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" He chuckles softly, using his thumb to wipe the tomato sauce from the corner of his mouth.
"Nothing." She shakes her head, picking up one of her own slices. It's straight out of the oven, still hot and the cheese is still gooey. Just the way she likes it. "Is it good?"
Taehyung has already taken another bite by then, so he simply nods and offers her a thumbs up. She'll take that as a yes. They're quiet as they eat, too focused on the cheesy deliciousness in front of them.
But as soon as they're done, it's back to business. At least for Chantelle.
"So about Jungkook.." She starts, making Taehyung groan in annoyance.
"Do you ever stop?"
"Not when there's a serial killer out there somewhere." She snaps. "Do you think it's him? Jungkook?"
Detective Kim shrugs. "I mean, let's say it was. Why wouldn't he just use his key to get into the building? He lives there too."
"Maybe he didn't want to give himself away." Chantelle suggests. "After all, he was supposed to be on a business trip when the murder happened."
Taehyung hums at the idea. "That could also explain why he didn't go back to his apartment after. He lives there, he would know about the cameras."
Chantelle purses her lips, leaning back in her metal chair. "What about motive, though? Why kill his grandmother and father?"
"I don't know." Detective Kim admits, nibbling on his bottom lip. "Even if it was for life insurance or ownership of the company, his mother would get everything..unless she's next."
Detective Taylor's eyes widen at his words. "Oh god. His sister too, she would get half of everything unless she's not listed as a beneficiary. They're both targets."
"That's definitely a motive right there." Taehyung nods in agreement.
"We need to talk with Mrs. Jeon." Chantelle abruptly stands from her chair, tossing out her trash and heading for the door.
