Regrets

First meeting

10 years ago

Hange zoe a bright college student, 19 years old, was hired by a detective agency The survey corps. She solved numerous cases because of her wits. She gained fame in a few months. Solved few high profile cases and beacme a hero in the city. But she didn't liked the limelight. Thanks to her senior Erwin smith who would handle the media and everything.

But this case was irritating her. There is a series of robbery. Nobody has seen their faces just a security guard of who had seen their shadows said that there are two robbers, one is short and other is tall. Just this much nothing else. Just a blank paper was left which smelled of roses. That's why they were named Red rose robbers

It had been 6 months since she took on this case and was not able to take any lead. Though just one time she was so close to catching them. She had deduced their pattern of robberies so she guessed their next target which was correct. But she underestimated their power. They managed to escape despite the tight security. From next time they changed their strategy.

Hange was so irritated that she would sometimes break few things out of anger on the site. Her promotion was on hold because of this.

One day she was returning from her office. Still no clue about the duo. People were persuading her to leave the case but she was adament that she will catch them. In the front of her house was a man laying unconscious, beaten quite badly, shit was stained with blood.

she tried to wake him up but nothing. She thought of carrying him to the hospital but it was too far and he was heavy. There was no one else around even her roommate was still at work. Not even her over friendly neighbor

she dragged him inside her house. And almost threw him on the couch. She patch him up. She waited for him to wake up. She went to take a shower. She shouldn't be afraid of stranger in her house, she was a detective, trained to defend herself and had a service revolver.

She came out of the shower he was still laying unconscious.

Just then her roommate came inside.

she almost screamed but hange covered her mouth. "shut up Nanaba"

"who is this hange?" Nanaba asked

"i don't know, he was laying beaten quite badly so I thought to patch him up."

"You could have taken him to a doctor"

"he was heavy" hange said

Nanaba sighed.

"Hey Nana, don't worry" hange smiled at her overprotective roommate. They were together since high school. Hange joined the agency and Nanaba decided to run a coffee shop. Hange used to go there quite frequently. Mainly to work as it had a warm environment and even helped Nanaba by taking her place at the counter.

"Says the one who mistook goons as customers" Nanaba said. hange rolled her eyes.

"But nothing happened right?" Hange said

"You could have beeen killed"

"But I am standing in front of you"

"Anyways, have you tried to who is he"

"I was about check his jacket and pocket to check for maybe an ID card or wallet or phone"

"So let's do it"

Nanaba also wanted to become a detective but she had to run her family business.

They checked his pockets but found nothing. There was a phone in the jacket.
