Eraserjoke -CASE TADA

Chapter 2

The pair stared in silence trying to make sense of what they were seeing.

"is that what I think it is?" Her voice breaking the eerie uncomfortable silence around them. The man nodded. Infront of them  laid a bloody trail of organs pouring out of a body of a girl her face carved with a disoriented smile her eye holes hollow and black as blood poured out of her.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The tension in the building was deathly the pair sat together in a uncomfortable silence writing reports, the memories of last night carved in there minds. 

"Eraser?"

he looked up from her paperwork giving a nod of acknowlegdement.
She was quiet for a while before he began speaking.

"What we saw last night-" the mint haired girl began tugging at her Navy shorts that were digging into her thighs.
"Do you think it's apart of that human trafficking case his purple highness was on about the other day?"

The man looked up staring into her emerald eyes. "Joke you and I both know it was most definitely linked." He responded his voice stern. After a while he asked, "how are you holding up? "

"What do you mean?"

"Well usually after these types of scenes your usually Shakened up"

She was quiet for a while half surprised he keeps a track of how she acts after moments like those.
"I'm fine... I most definitely didn't sleep though that smile haunts me dreams.It reminds me of that urban legend"

He groaned preparing for the legend, whenever something creepy happened she always had a legend to follow. "
"Let me guess it's the one about the toilet paper? "
" nope"
"The one about lost voice"
"Nuh uh"
"The one about the tall creepy man that follows people's cars till he uses the belt to strangely them"
"Nope, but I'm touched you remember them all" She clutched her heart dramatically fanning herself. He sighed to himself already used to the girls antics.

"This one is about the myth from the Heian period the legend commences with a stunning woman, who was married to a samurai.she was very arrogant and one day,she cheated on her husband.When he found out about the affair he was so mad he slit her mouth from ear to ear, giving her a Glasgow smile."

He sat there mentally disturbed by the image of the smile engraved in his mind.
"Why on eart-" before he could even start his sentence she began talking once again.

"And now she's a onryō, and now appears in the dark asking if u think she's beautiful and yada yada if u say yes she cuts a Glasgow on u, if u say no she kills you"

"So either way I die?"

"Either way you die."

Before the pair could start discussing the legend further a intern akashi a young 19 year old with short red hair and purple eyes around 5'8 ,shouta recalled the guy hitting on Joke on his first day here, thankfully she rejected him.
He cleared his throat as he began
"ms joke, eraser head, his purple highness wants to speak to you guys in his office preferably right now." The intern quickly ran of before he could be questioned.

"Well that's something"
He grumbled as he got up, burying his face in his scarf as he made his way up.
"Hey! Wait up!?" The short girl hurried alongside him.

______________________________

For the most part the walk up had been in a comfortable silence neither  hero making a motion to start a conversation. As they entered his purple highness office, a dark office with maroon Walls and dark furniture the only lighting coming from the giant windows in the back.

"If it isn't my favorite duo"

"We aren't a duo"
"You know it! "

The purple hero laughed at the contrast between the two response.
"Well let's get down to business" The man going serious he's facial features going neutral froze. That was something shouta appreciated about the hero and Joke alike. The way they knew when to become serious, he'd never admit it aloud but he admired the way she was able to switch personalities like a switch instantly becoming dead serious when she felt the need giving it her full attention and devotion.

He also knew how annoying it had been especially in the beginning. What the hero hadn't known on there first "hang out" was that the young hero despite her age had been able to become a psychologist. He knew, she knew about his problems he didn't need to hear her say it. He saw how she looked at him. How easy it had been for her to realize.

The dark haired man snapped out of his thoughts when he felt a pinch on his arm.

"Earth to eraser, earth to eraser, earth to-"
"I get it joke, no need to chant I'm listening"

His purple highness cleared his throat. "As I was saying, there has been an increase in the number of missing people.Most for these people are young kids aged 6-12, or women, basically any vulnerable young person-no offense joke"

Joke raised an eyebrow at the comment clear taking offense but decided to drop it.

"If these victims are found they're usually well-"

"It's with an ablation?" Asked the eraser hero

His purple highness took a deep breath of sorrow, nodding. "Unfortunately so, thankfully well not thankfully but thankfully so far it's been women and not young children-once again no Offence joke."

"You know I'm starting to feel no Offence means 'take offense'" chuckled the youngest of the three.

As shouta pieces it all together "so basically these cases are all linked, and you want us to find out how?"

His purple highness thought, "pretty much but I also want you to find these kids.Ill be sending you to meet with 2 different families of victims".He pulled out three different case files displaying them on the table. "Victim 1 is 8.yo Chishio Aya, victim 2 is 23.yo Anna Smith a foreigner"

He saw the look of grim resting on the young 19yo face as the victims were names.

"It's your case if you choose to claim it."

Both the pair shared a look of agreement and determination.

"We take the case."
