Sanemi yawned, rubbing the sleep from his eyes. This was the third night in a row he was being kept up late with his detective duties. If this kept happening Genya would be on his ass for not getting enough rest. He really was such an overprotective little brother.

The white haired man leaned back in his chair to stretch his arms, his joints echoing with a satisfying pop. He reached for the phone on his desk, checking the time.

2 am

Just as he was about to get up and clock out his radio began to buzz to life with static. The familiar voice of a female secretary who relayed 119 calls to officers. Normally Sanemi would have ignored it, most calls not being his territory until an investigation started, but the information relayed piqued his interest.

"A break in was reported at Mushi Chemical Laboratory on the corner of xxx and xxx. Responding officers must proceed with caution due to the potentially dangerous nature of the Labs work. Officers are advised to avoid using lethal force due to the chemicals. A researcher of the lab will be on sight to lead officers through the facility and granting them access to locked areas"

Mushi Chemical Labs?

Such a high risk target. Sanemi decided to respond as well. Having a high ranking officer on site might help the staff relax.

With an exhausted sigh Sanemi stood up from his desk, picking up his gray trench coat and slipping it on. He grabbed his keys, phone, baton, and holstered his gun to his waist.

With that he left the office, jumped into his SUV and drove off to the lab. The scarred man put on his lights, but not his sirens. He used the lights so other cars would get out of his way, but due to the call being a potential burglary/ breakin he decided not to use the sirens as to not notify the thieves of his arrival.

Roughly ten minutes later, Sanemi pulled up to the front of a tall pristine white building with two other cop cars parked outside.

With a well practiced ease, the man parked the car, radioed his arrival, and slipped out of his car. He approached two officers and what appeared to be a female researcher on the front steps of the lab.

Both officers greeted Sanemi with a short bow. The man gave his fellow Officers a quick nod before addressing the black haired woman.

"Evening ma'am. I am detective Shinazugawa. Due to the nature of you work I will be tagging along for logistical reasons"

The short dark haired woman with purple eyes smiled lips never twitching from her kind smile.She wore a white sweater over a black tanktop and black pants. Her purple tennis shoes looked hastily tied and her long hair was pulled up in a messy bun. Despite her smile her face appeared exhausted. It was obvious she had rushed over as soon as she was notified of the break in.

"Of course thank you for coming detective. My name is Kocho Shinobu and I am one of the head researchers of Mushi Labs. I can lead everyone to where the last motion detectors were activated"

The detective nodded.

"Before that, I have a few questions"

Shinobu nodded. Sanemi continued.

"Has there been any disagreements with fellow staff or sponsors that could potentially turn violent?"

Shinobu shook her head. "No. We get some protests from environmental activist who don't understand our work, but they've never gotten violent"
