"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."

Detective Taylor can't see where exactly Taehyung is hurt because of all the blood, but he seems to have a large cut around his left eye. At this point, her anger has completely melted into guilt and worry.
"Is everything okay back here?" One of the volunteers turns around after hearing the commotion.
"Yeah, we just had a little accident." Chantelle gulps. "I'm gonna take him back but you guys keep going, okay? Let me know if you find anything."
Once the man continues on his way, Chantelle walks over to Taehyung to help him up. She offers him a hand and he gratefully takes it.
"Thanks."
She nods solemnly, still feeling extremely guilty about the whole thing. "Here." She takes off her scarf, holding it out to him. "Put some pressure on it to stop the bleeding."
Taehyung doesn't even protest, simply taking the cloth from her and pressing it against her face.
The walk back to the university is silent, with Chantelle holding onto his arm to keep him steady.
When they arrive, they head straight to the nurse's office with the help of directions from a very confused and concerned student.
"My goodness!" The nurse gasps when she sees the two of them walking in. Taehyung is quite the sight to see, with a blood-soaked scarf covering half his face. "What happened to you?"
"I tripped and fell." He says simply.
"Come sit over here, let me take a look at it."
The female detective helps him over to a cot so he can sit comfortably. Then he removes the scarf from his face, wincing as it instantly starts to ooze blood again.
"Oh, honey." The nurse shakes her head, a grim look on her face. "You're gonna need stitches."
Taehyung's skin goes pale and Chantelle stares down at her feet.
Just as she thought it couldn't get any worse..
"I'll patch you up for now, though." She continues. "And then your girlfriend here can take you to the hospital."
"Oh no, she's not my-"
"We're work partners." Chantelle clarifies.
"Right, my mistake." She winks. "Lay back and apply some pressure to that while I get my supplies."
Taehyung lays down flat on the cot as the nurse grabs some items from the cabinet. Meanwhile, Chantelle looks anywhere but at the man she severely injured.
