Been To Hell

Average Day

I walked into my small office with a cup of coffee in one hand and a cup of water in the other. My head was killing me from the late night drinking party with my co-worker. I sat down and rubbed my temples while sighing. "At least I still get to work on time unlike him..." I sank down in my chair but jumped when one of my superiors knocked on the office door. It opened to show my co-worker, Joseph Oda. "Did you have another drinking night with Seb, Junior detective Fujimori?" He would never call me by my first name on the job. No idea why though. "Yes Joseph. Since I never tried to party at younger ages, I am making up for it now." He frowned slightly. "You are only 18. That isn't old enough to drink." I scoffed. "Whatever..." "You are acting like a 15 year old...." "I'm only three years older than that so of course I am not going to change from 15 to 18 DRASTICALLY!!!" When I emphasised the last word, my head started to throb. I grabbed the cup of water I had and took a drink to suppress the urge to vomit. Joseph took note of this. "You should stop drinking almost every night with that bad influence...." I didn't argue back. Instead I sat my head down on my desk. That was when my office door flew open. It was our boss. Joseph instantly straightened up and made himself look very sophisticated.
"Where the hell is Sebastian?!" "Late. We had another drinking party last night." The boss looked like she was about to scream. "Don't allow him to talk you into that again. You need to talk him out of it rather than encourage it." With that, she left. I got up and felt dizzy but ignored it. I walked, well more like stumbled, towards the door. I walked towards the boss' office to know about the case but on my way, I had to run into the bathroom and throw up. "You alright there Junior detective?" I heard behind me. "Hey Juli...." I heard her giggle. "Do you feel like you are going to continue to throw up?" "Y-Yeah....." Right after I said that, I started to puke again. "I'll hold your hair back for you then." I felt her gather up my hair and pull it away from my face. "You need to stop drinking before you become a bad alcoholic like Sebastian..." I responded with throwing up more. My stomach churned and turned itself over and over but there was nothing left to throw up. Tears were falling down my face quietly. I got out of the stall and got a paper towel and wiped off my mouth. Juli (A.N. a.k.a Kidman.) then handed me two pieces of mint gum. "That'll both make your mouth taste better for you and make your breath not smell like vomit."
I quickly unwrapped the pieces and started chewing on them. "Thank you so much Juli!" "It was nothing." She smiled and left the room and so did I. "Are you alright?" Joseph asked. "Yeah I'm fine. I just guess i had a little more alcohol than usual last night." I laughed nervously as he started to scold me. We were interrupted by our boss. "detective Oda and junior detective Fujimori. Please get detective Kidman and meet me in my office. I will tell you all the case. You will have to take the responsibility of getting this information to Sebastian. If you can even get him out of his alcohol haze." Joseph and I found Kidman quickly and walked back to the boss' office. She told us that there was a multiple homicides case at a small cabin. We had to figure out what had happened to the murderer. He had died in an unusual way. His body was found hanging as if he had killed himself but his throat was slit and there were strange symbols carved into his arms. "Get to the scene after you get Sebastian. I wish the best of luck to you all." We all walked out and went to Joseph's car. I laid down in the back as they both sat in the front. "I wonder why Sebastian didn't show up today...." "He most likely drank twice as much as you so he is most likely so hung over that he can't get out of bed." Soon, we made it to Sebastian's house. We walked in -- since the door was unlocked -- and was instantly hit by the strong smell of alcohol and cigarettes. I followed Joseph until we were outside of what I assumed to be Sebastian's bedroom. I never actually had never been to Sebastian's house. Joseph tapped the door and got a groan in response. Good. That meant he was alive at least. We walked in and saw him on the floor with the blanket draped over him as if he fell off the bed. Joseph sighed and Kidman and I stifled our laughter. I crouched down so I was closer to Sebastian. I poked his cheek and he swatted at my hand tiredly. I giggled and did it again. "Sebastian..... Sebastian.... It's time for you to get up..."
I said in a slightly sing-song voice. "Five more minutes..." He mumbled as a soft snore followed. I giggled again. "Sebastian..... Sebastian..... Wake up..... Come on.... Wake up.... Sebastian..." I heard him mumbling a name. I leaned in closer to hear him. "Myra....... Myra......" Joseph and Kidman watched me as i attempted to wake Sebastian up. I then resorted to shaking him. I shook him non stop but got no response other than snores. Then I thought of something that brought an evil smile to my lips. "I don't like that look...." Joseph said. I only smiled more. I leaned down until I was right next to Sebastian's ear and I whispered something that made him jot up quickly. It scared Joseph and Kidman but I had fallen backwards laughing so hard. I saw Sebastian glaring at me with a tinge of pink dancing across his face. "That wasn't nice to do and it isn't nice to laugh at how I reacted!!!" I only laughed more.
