WHEN KING ENTERED the cafe and sat down in his usual seat, that was the signal for them to continue with their routine of slipping drugs into the man's drink. they paid close attention to him from afar, seeing that king was clearly exhausted.

they had another trick they could use in order to distract king. however, he saw the man put his head down instead of reading his book, not paying attention to his surroundings. they took that as their cue to move quickly, standing up from their seat and walking past king's table on purpose, successfully spiking his drink like it was another day.

unbeknownst to them though, king's eyes watched the person's figure slip out from the cafe. he suddenly recognized the side profile of his perpetrator within the reflection in the mini hand held mirror that was hidden in his sleeve. when he saw that the reflection was out from the cafe, king sat up in his seat, staring at his drink with unamused eyes. so that's the rat that's been drugging me.
