———————————A Few Weeks Earlier
"(Y/n), you're in charge until I get back."
I was shocked, "Nick, are you sure? I mean, I'm just a rookie!"
"Just because I'm leaving you in charge, doesn't necessarily mean they'll be any cases, (Y/n)."
I took a deep breath, "Okay. You're right. I can do this."
He smiled and hugged me, "Thank you, (Y/n). There's no one else I'd trust more." He then brought me into a hug. I then noticed that both Apollo and Athena had aghast looks on their faces, causing me to giggle partly.
——————————
I sighed as I sat on one side of the glass in the Visitor's Room of the Detention Centre. The one time Nick isn't here and two of the Agency members get arrested within the span of a week. How does this happen.
"So, how did this happen, Apollo?"
He rubbed the spikes on his head, "Well, I'd been walking back to the agency when Someone bumped into me. A minute later, a bloody knife was in my hand and my fingerprints were on it."
"Apollo, just for clarification, although I know you never would, did you kill the victim?"
"No, I didn't. You have it help me, (Y/n)."
"Of course I'll help, but, Athena would be a better bet. At least she's had a case. I'm still a rookie. Not a single case."
"I know, but I have faith in you, (Y/n)."
"Yeah! You'll get justice for Polly!
———————————
"As I said, there is no way th-Ow!" I started, but was soon interrupted by a whip hitting my arm and, "You fool! The defendant is the only one who could have committed this crime!"
"Miss von Karma, you can push my brother around as much as you want with whipping and stuff, but you DO NOT interrupt me with that blasted thing when I'm speaking or it'll be you on the other end of it. Got it?"
——————————
Let's just say, standing up to her wasn't smart. Once the trial was over and I'd won, meaning Apollo was innocent, she decided to whip me constantly until I blacked out.
I woke up on one of the agency sofas with Apollo, Athena and Trucy all sitting patiently waiting for me to wake up, well Athena and Trucy were. Apollo was pacing the agency muttering to himself, "This is my fault. Mr Wright is never going to forgive me if she doesn't wake up."
"Apollo? You can stop pacing now."
He perked up and turned to me, "(Y/n)! You're okay! Thank you so much for taking my case and freeing me!"
"Heh, no problem... Polly."
"I could kiss you with how thankfu-" he paused mid sentence and started rubbing his spikes, an embarrassed look on his face, "I mean, if it's okay with you." I giggled at his adorableness and grabbed his tie, pulling him into me. I whispered in his ear, "It's fine by me," before kissing him. His eyes widened in shock before I felt his arms wrap around my waist and him kissing ne back.
We broke of at the sound of clapping and a voice, "I'm impressed, (Y/n). You finally told him."
"Nick! You're back already!"
