Soon I'm going to open a book of oneshots, I feel like that's going to cut down on the amount of new books I'm publishing and bring up the productivity of writing on the ones I have now.

You mentally scolded your past self for being too scared to say no to a cop, because now you have to be closer to those three at the church. Not something you really wanted, since all of them gave you weird vibes and the feeling of 'stay away'. Well, there's no going back now, so you'd just have to suck it up. You slung your messenger bag over your shoulder and said goodbye to the motel owner, then walked out the door. 

     The walk to station was peaceful. Some orange leaves started to drift to the ground, skittering across the sidewalk. A small chill was in the air, and the grass was looking a little bit more dry than before. You pushed open the door to the police station, and Sterling was leaned against the front desk having a conversation with another officer while seemingly waiting for you to arrive. He nodded to the other officer and then motioned for you to follow him into his office. 

———— ✦ ————◆———— ✦ ————

     You took a seat in the plush leather swivel chair. "Would you like a drink before we start?" "No thank you." Like last time, he peaked through the blinds and then shut them. He then locked the door and held his ear up to the wood, as if listening for any indication if someone- or something- was outside. Apparently there was nothing, as he sat down across from you afterwards. 

He pulled out the same notepad and pen, and started to write. You still didn't understand why he needed to do this. He already checked 

     'Between the times of 12 AM - 3 AM the three suspects disappear. Truth be told, I am not sure where they happen to go. At this current moment that is what I'm investigating, if I find out where they go that could be the break in the case. This period of absence can work in our favor. I need you to investigate the church- which is also their place of residence- between that gap of time. Under normal circumstances I would not ask a civilian to do this for me, but I can not retrieve a warrant to search the premises. Like everyone else in this town, it seems those bastards charmed everyone in the legal system so now the search is deemed 'unnecessary'. But, you are not an officer, you don't need a warrant. Of course, this will deemed breaking and entering- if you're caught that is.'

You blinked. What did you just read? 

You read it again.

...You still couldn't comprehend what this man is asking from you.

     Sterling's a cop- well, detective- and he's asking you to break the law? This fully convinced you that this man has an unhealthy obsession with this case and arresting the men you work with. He's maybe not totally crazy, as Silas totally gave murderer vibes, but he's at least a little delusional. You would ask how he knew that they disappeared at these times, but with what he just wrote you weren't very surprised that he stalked them a little. You were sure Detective Caldwell was a nice guy under any other context. Maybe if he didn't suspect your bosses of various crimes, then he wouldn't be acting so irrationally and asking you to commit crimes. 

     You looked up from the note, awkwardly making eye contact with him. His eyes were cold and were pointed directly at you, his brows furrowed and lips pulled into a tight frown, as if saying 'you're doing this whether you like it or not'.  You pulled the notebook towards you and clicked the pen. 

'When I agreed to help you I was not agreeing to break into someone's house. I'm not willing to be arrested, I am sorry. If I can help in any other way, I'd be glad to!'

This was apparently a bad move on your part, and a bad move on the author's part for this chapter being so sucky.

     His eyes bore directly into yours, and he certainly did not look pleased. He then opened one of the drawers of his desk, pulling something out. He pulled it out all ever so calmly, and aimed it at you.

It was a gun.

Hello! How are we today? My eyes are very dry! 

I do not like this chapter, but hey, what can ya do? Write something better? As if I'd actually try to do that! Proofreading and revisions are for people that are actually good at writing! 

I have a lot of ideas for the next chapter. I am just not sure if I actually want to do them though.

I'm not sure if I'm happy with the direction I'm taking with Sterling's character. I saw him being nicer than this. But I found it very funny if YN was held at gunpoint, since Sterling isn't even human, he can do much worse than that. Violence is very funny.

Any anime recommendations?

Have a nice day! ヾ(≧▽≦*)o
