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.

"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!"
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 holed full of mirth.
"You two shut up!" Kaylah hissed.
"EWWWWWWW you spat in my-" 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."
