Think about it Twice (Sana x Fem reader)

Chapter 33- Las Vegas

~3rd POV~
A few days had passed and the hangwoman's identity was released to the public. However, the crew showed irritation since they wanted to keep her identity a secret until they found more about her connection to Brendon Aikawa.

~~~~~~~

"Are you looking for someone name Brendon?" Diana asked Y/n as she twirled in her rolling chair.

"...? How did you know?" Y/n widened her eyes at the woman.

"Well... I went to Las Vegas this weekend to gamb- I mean network and I think I met someone who's name was Brendon Ai? Ai-something?" Diana rubbed her head.

"What did he look like?" Y/n grabbed her pen and notepad from her blazer's pocket.

"Eh? He was pretty hot. Was around 30...? I can't fully remember." She pressed her lips together in disappointment.

Y/n internally facepalmed. However, she couldn't be too mad since Diana essentially provided a lead.

Y/n relayed the news to the 3 others and conjured up  a plan.

"Well since he was there this past weekend, it's a good chance that he could still be there." Mike suggested

"What place was it again?"

"The Venetian casino." Y/n replied to David

"Oh I know that place. I've been there before." Sana added

"What we're you doing there?"

"...that's not the point, anyways I'm familiar with the layout."

"Well technically it isn't our responsibility. We'd inform the LVMPD and they'll take care of it." Mike was the voice of reason, but he got booed anyways.

"Boringggg. I think we should take it first hand." David sighed.

"Yes! Mike please! Who cares about the other department." Sana clasped her hands together.

"Hmmmm" Mike's face remained stoic.

"Plus, we take take it as a road trip! It's only like 5 hours." Y/n added, oddly taking David's side. Mainly, she just said it so Sana would have an opportunity to confront the man.

"I'll think about it," Mike rubbed on his beard, "in the meantime, get back to work. We're already behind."

"I'm sure if Mike knew how much this meant to you, he'd automatically say yes." Y/n whispered to Sana as the two walked back to their desks.

"It's fine. He's right anyways," Sana put a slight smile on her face, "plus I can find Brendon and connect him to Chikage on my own."

"But you've been doing that for years and yet you've made little progress." Y/n kept that thought to herself.

After a couple of hours, Mike gathered the rest of them into his office.

"Alright pack two days worth of clothing, and something suitable for a night of "gambling." We're leaving tomorrow at 9 am." Mike announced while David fist pumped the air.

"WOOO buddy vacation!" He high-fived Mike eagerly, and the latter just put on a slightly concerned smile.

"Ok sounds good." Y/n calmly nodded and thought about the possible outcomes of the trip. Of course, it could all go well, and they could get a connection to Chikage. Orrrr, they could achieve none of that and find out that Brendon left or he has no connection whatsoever.

"Come onnnnn y/n have a happier face! We're going gambling!" David patted y/n whispering the last part.

Not a single thought goes through his brain.

~Sana's POV~
I rubbed my eyes, trying to stay awake as we loaded the car.

"You dyed your hair again?" Y/n raised an eyebrow at me.

"Yes, it's closer to my natural hair. I'm slowly going to black." I smiled at her. More so the bleach nearly fried my hair and I wanted a natural color, mainly black. However, if we encounter Brendon or Chikage, they would recognize me with black, so brown it is!

"Come on everyone let's go!" Mike yelled and patted the rental van.

"Ok dad!" I saluted him and jumped into the backseat and y/n joined me.

"Nooo I wanted to sit next to Sana." David pouted and eyed y/n.

"David I'm not gonna make out with you." I deadpanned and stuck my tongue out at him.

"Worth a shot." He went up into the front leaving me with y/n.

"Does he like you?" Y/n whispered to me with a serious look.

"Maybe." I tried not to give a sly smile at the latter.

Her face puffed up a bit before replying, "well it's none of my business but do you like him?"

I nearly exploded with laughter from seeing y/n trying to be serious with this. How dense can she be to think that I like David? He's cute yeah but he's too valley boy dumb for me.

"Why does that matter?" I decided to tease her for a little longer.

"Come on I can hear you guys." Mike let out a sigh and started up the van.

We all made our way to Las Vegas though it'd take a bit. David just played radio tunes and sung along while I could see y/n with her eyes closed with furrowed eyebrows. Was she still debating me and David's relationship. This girl...

"Y/n nothing's going on I'm just playing with you." I whispered to her and nudged her hand.

"It's fine. I wasn't stressing it anyways." She tried to give a nonchalant look but I saw through it.

"Yeaaaaah totally." I raised my eyebrow at her.

"Well then, I'm going to sleep." She closed her eyes again and gathered under a blanket she bought.

I watched as she eventually lost her furrowed look and fell into a light sleep. Finally she's relaxed. I can't help but worry about today. Of course, I'll be the most affected by the outcome of the next few days.

I held onto y/n's hand while contemplating. I could atleast enjoy the moment before everything changes. I eventually fell asleep to Mike's humming, David's off key singing, and y/n's warm hand.

~~I'm finally back sorry for the disappearance😭 I had a death in my family that hit my harder me than I thought. I've been unwell for a few months now. I'm still not completely fine all the way but I'm doing much better!!💕💕
