Kaeya got a few strange looks while walking to the police department with a gun in his hands and his neck still dripping blood but he was too high on adrenaline to care or even notice.

Kaeya reached the department, Kazuha being the first person he noticed. But that didn't matter right now.

He walked straight to Ayato's office, not even bothering to knock as he stormed in.

Ayato jumped a little but when he saw Kaeya with blood dripping from his neck, he went right to him.

"Are you alright?! You're bleeding—" Kaeya aggressively cut him off, "No shit." He said.

"Here..it's from the murderer—he attacked me only a few moments ago.." Kaeya held out the gun to Ayato, Ayato looked down at it then looked back up at Kaeya.

"Your fingerprints are gonna be all over this." Ayato didn't wanna seem like a dick, but he just didn't know what to say.

"And his will be too. Kazuha is here still, I'll give him every physical detail about the murderer...and some info about the Fatui." Kaeya placed the gun in Ayato's palm and wiped the blood from his neck with a wince.

"Yes, yes, please do talk to him." Ayato nodded as he went to put the gun in a bag before he could hand it to Kazuha.

Kaeya held his neck for a moment, it wasn't deep at all—so he was fine.

Kaeya said a few more simple words to Ayato before leaving to talk to Kazuha.

"Kazuha, could I talk to you? It's about the murderer." Ayato said. Kazuha eyes widened a little with excitement when he heard that, "Of course," he stood up and they both went outside to talk.










[Nikolai] hey, did you get back safe? I probably should've texted sooner, I'm sorry.

[Albedo] It's fine. I got home fine, thank you for driving me back.

[Nikolai] It was no problem, I saw you got pretty hammered

[Albedo] That's embarrassing...I can't really remember anything, but I have a horrible headache.

[Nikolai] Drink water, and take a little break from work, ok?

[Albedo] I can only do half of what you just said.

[Nikolai] Ok workaholic. But seriously, go easy on yourself today.

[Albedo] I'll try, thank you.

Nikolai sighed.

"You're so lucky he doesn't remember anything." Nikolai looked over to Vera.

Vera scoffed, "The only reason he doesn't remember anything is because of the drinks I made."

"Yeah, yeah...putting in their signature drug was definitely a smart idea. That shits addictive." Nikolai rested his head on the back of the couch.

"When we take control of that fucking organization, I'm gonna buy a nicer couch." Nikolai smiled at the sweet thought.

"A new couch?" Vera gave him an unimpressed look.

"And I'm gonna kill that stupid bitch Wyatt." Nikolai jerked his head back up.

"Nikolai—" Before Vera could finish, Nikolai glared at her.

"Sorry, Nick...you and Albedo, were you really in the same gang when you were younger?" Vera raised an eyebrow, curiously.

"Yes. That part I didn't lie about." Nikolai looked away, biting the inside of his cheek.

Nikolai thought about the times he had Albedo the past two days...he didn't even realize he was blushing until Vera pointed it out, "Your face is red Nick." She said with zero interest in her voice.

"What? Really?" Nick felt his face, he was warm. Which just made him blush more.

"Don't tell me your developing feelings for that Fatui scum." Vera took a break from looking at her nails to side eye Nick.

"Don't even say that, you know I won't." Nikolai's cheeks began to fade back to their natural colors.










Kaeya had just finished describing exactly how the murderer looked, Kazuha didn't write anything down (exactly like last time) which made Kaeya wonder if he was really keeping it all up in his head.

"So it was him.." Kazuha mumbled as he though about the man he saw earlier. Now really thinking about it, he didn't catch his name...how careless could he be?

"What?" Kaeya tilted his head, "Oh, nothing. Continue please," Kazuha looked back to Kaeya.

"Well..he said that there's a new leader in the Fatui.." Kaeya couldn't look at him while saying this, it felt wrong in a way.

"A new leader? Hm." Kazuha smiled slightly.

"Did he say who it was?" Kazuha asked, Kaeya flinched at the question.

"Uh..no, he didn't." Kaeya lied...knowing the guilt would consume him later.

Kazuha stared at him for a few minutes, as if he was analyzing him.

"Thank you for telling me this. And you said Ayato has the gun in his office right?" Kazuha got ready to walk back into the department.

Kaeya nodded.

"Good. Thank you again." Is all Kazuha said before walking back into the department and into Kaeya's office.

Kaeya sighed. He was definitely gonna need a smoke later, but now, he had to get at least a little work done.
