Baroness Adela Mylinski was afraid. Not just for her failing marriage with the baron, but her life. For once she wasn't being by selfish and vain, she was frightened. The baron seemed to have found someone new. Namely Countess Emma Atkins-Wolfgang. Not that Emma had done anything wrong but Aedela was very touchy about things like this. The countess, Adela thought, that poisonous snake. Adela found herself growing angrier, more unfaithful towards her and more violent towards Emma. When her death came it was in a way she never expected. Let us ignore the irreverent bits of her life and move forward to the day of her murder.

"Listennnn boss! I'm telling you BTS is the thing to know!" Lady Evelyn "Evie" Montressori squeaked.
"Whyyyy? Why Evie?" Ava Williams-Fionn , inspector extraordinaire whined.
"I needdddd HOBI WATER stat!" Evie shrieked
"Hobi water? Is that like rip off holy water?"
"NOOOO!" Evie yelled, as if shot through the heart.
Writhing on the floor Evie wept openly about how to never be friends with someone who doesn't appreciate BTS.
"What kinda name is BTS it sounds like a BLT, you know bacon, lettuce and tomato?" Ava mumbled.
"BLT? BTS IS NOTHING LIKE A BLT!"
It took a couple of minutes for Ava's brain cells to start working for her to tell the difference between k-pop and j-pop. All of a sudden, the mahogany doors flew open and in walked Detective Kaylah Doyinbo, "HOW DARE YOU INSULT HOBI HE IS NOT RIP OFF HOLY WATER!"
Ava cowered against the wall, "S-sorry b-boss."
"You know what?" Evie smirked, "I think we need karaoke!"
"NOOOOOO!" Ava wailed.
It was to late, Kaylah had started singing the opening bars of Euphoria, by the one and only BTS.
"PICK UP YOUR PHONE BITCH!" Kaylah's phone vibrated vehemently.
"Oh, how I do love that ringtone," Evie laughed, "It gets the point across doesn't it Ava?"
"Yeah it does!" Ava hollered, full of mirth.
"You two shut up!" Kaylah hissed.
"EWWWWWWW you spat in my teaaaaaaa-" Evies voice petered into silence as she saw Kaylah's face, "Is it time?"
"Yes." Kaylah replied bluntly.
"Who?" Ava queried.
"A baroness by the name: Adela Mylinski. She fears assaisination. "
The doors flew open and a single figure, silhouetted against the darkening sky out the window.
"Olivia?"
"Ducka?"
"Yes, I thought you three needed a bit of uh, scotland yard schooling." detective inspector Olivia Doyle muttered.
"Stand here Ducka!" Evie commanded.
"Uh why?"
"Don't question it." Kaylah muttered.
"RELEASE THE KIWI CAT!" Evie yelled.
"Oh God. No!" Olivia screamed as Darcey Montgomery (aka: the kiwi cat) barreled in and prepared to ensnare Olivia in the biggest hug ever.
