The next part is out :). I'm not gonna forget about Lui and Nogla >:D. Enjoy ^.^
———————————

(Lui POV)
I rubbed my face and tried really hard to stay my eyes open. I was super tired, slept only like three hours in two days. Siting in the closed dark room by myself wasn't helping anything.

"Lui, ya should get some rest." I heard familiar voice.

"I'm fine," I growled and stretched myself.

I grabbed the files and opened them for a millionth time. I had to find him. For the good of myself, of the people, of him. I blinked couple times to force my tears back away.

"I bring ya some coffee. Can I help ya somehow? Anyhow?" I raised my eyes to see Nogla.

Nogla was my partner. We had worked together for a four years, but after the accident I couldn't stop thinking about him, about Delirious, as media called him.

"You're just too kind. Sit down here and make me some lovely company. So what's happening outside?" I asked, as he obediently sat against me.

"You're killing yourself with these papers. Let me help ya, buddy."

Before I could react he grabbed most of my papers. I just sighed, fully consumed in tiredness. I scanned his expressions while he was reading them.

"We don't know shit 'bout him," he whispered silently and I nodded.

"Nothing. No clues how he could look like, no evidences in the crime scenes or any witnesses. He's just too good," I stated frustrated.

"He had to make a mistake. Or he will," Nogla said to calm me down.

"Yeah but by that time comes I'm gonna be old or dead. I need to find him, Nogla. I just need to." I recognized desperation from my voice.

"Is this the time ya will tell me why are ya so obsessed with him? Or her. It could be her."

I met his eyes and felt fears slowly creeping into my body.

I can't just told him. They would take me down from this case for personal connection. But he's my partner. I should tell him.

"Not the right time. One day for sure though, you're gonna know everything," I answered him.

He slowly nodded his head and stood up. He pulled his hand towards me.

"C'mon. You need the air and we need to go on patrolling, or the boss will think we're doing nothing at all."

I accepted his help and stood up. I really owned him. He was caring about me everyday, even when my nervous cracked. We both walked outside and I had to blink couple of times to get used to the sunlight.

"How is it?" He asked me, when we were walking down the street.

"What?" I replied.

"Being under the sunlight and don't burn from it," he joked and I felt my lips curl into a smile.

"You should be happy I'm not sparkling," I shot back and made him laugh.

"Why not? I would make so much money outta ya."

I friendly punched him into an arm and suddenly felt so tired. It was a miracle that I could even walk.

"Lui, ya don't look really good," he stated and I sighed.

"I thought I'm always handsome," I replied jokingly.

"You're," he mumbled so silently, that I wasn't sure if I heard correctly.

I stopped my walking and looked right at him.

"What was that?" I asked.

"I was saying that you should get some sleep to be that handsome boy again," he quickly answered.

"Can't. I have to find him. Maybe he did a mistake but I just didn't spot it." After my words he grabbed me by my wrist and led me to some house.

"That's enough. You're done with him for today. And that's not the question, that's the order," he said, his voice filled with anger.

I hadn't enough energy to oppose him, even though I really wanted to get back to the room, get back to finding that small mistake.

He unlocked the door and I walked in. The flat was comfy and looked really cute.

"Welcome to my home," he said and I smiled.

I had never been in his house. We were partners, friends, but there was always some wall between us, which separated personal life from work.

"Fitting you. Oh hi boys," I said, when the dogs ran to me.

"Joe and Tony," he introduced them to me and I laughed.

"Ok. I'm gonna cook something and you get some sleep."

I wanted to say something, but he frowned.

"Get some sleep!" He raised his voice and I did what he asked me for.

I walked into his bedroom. There were photos of his family from Ireland. I undress myself to the boxers and lay into the bed. It took me like three minutes before I fell asleep.
