I sat on my bed looking at all the information I have found linking fire lights, shimmer, blimp and explosion girl, undercity, and most of the crime in the Undercity

Looking at it, re-examining it just to see how it looks from as many angles playing with my gun, spinning it really in my finger, that's when Jayce walked in standing up straight still wearing his suit from yesterday

Me: any word from Izuku yet? And why are you still wearing the suit

He sighed and shook his head

Jayce: nothing though I'm sure he's fine, how you feeling, after an explosion hit you

I got up and walked towards him, while still in my nightgown

Me: I've had a break in the case

I noticed the white flowers in his hand - pretty ones, flowers that is

I began dragging him and placing the flowers in the closest vase and continued dragging him

Jayce: shouldn't you be resting

I sharply replied to focused and concentrating on solving this

Me: while the trail is hot?

I continued speaking to him about this, starting off with?

Me: listen, you know how I've suspected there is a single mind behind the undercitys violence?

He shook his head in disapproval, clearly not agreeing with it

Jayce: the "great conspiracy"

I nodded

Me: or so you call it, but I could be right

Shaking my head of the current thoughts there

Me: I think whoever attacked the square is our suspect

He seemed skeptical about it not really believing out of everyone in Piltover, or the undercity, on a day where people came from all over the world that the same person had been organising violence in the undercity

Me: the same symbols show at the botched smuggling operation at the hexgates

He still didn't really want to question it so let me continue

Jayce: the hex gates?

I needed him to keep up with the info I'm throwing at him before he lost track

Me: keep up

Returning back to the information I have scattered all over the floor

Me: all this time they've kept all their dealings localised towards the undercity

I picked up a note and moved it little while it was on the floor

Me: low priority, no one really cares, but the attack on the square changes things, they've over stepped

Standing back up after tossing the extra info onto the ground again continuing my little rant while my focus still works regulating it

Me: it could lead me to figure out whoever's behind it all

Doubtful still I could tell, but I continued talking a little just needing to flush it out my system

Me: the answer it's staring me in the face I just need to find it

Stepping back onto a stool getting higher ground to focus onto the floor reading the different bits connecting them in different ways

Me: I can feel it
