chapter 6

'' Why am I always stuck making arrests with you? ''

I frowned and glared at Baekhyun. '' You wanna work with Sehun instead? ''

'' I don't particularly like any of you, so how about solo? '' he whispered in response and challengingly stared back at me.

The moon was illuminating his pale and handsome face that I've been looking at way too much in the past month. That was how long passed since he joined our murder investigation team and the two of us developed a very strange relationship. We seemingly hated each other, but at the same time we worked together quite well, which was why we were usually stuck as partners and it was the same this time. 

We had a busy week at the station and the two of us were assigned to arrest some wealthy guy that killed a business partner of his, but made the mistake of leaving a fingerprint behind. That was also the reason why we were currently standing behind the tall wall that was surrounding his huge house and preparing to sneak inside from the back. He had a dog tied near the front gate and Baekhyun didn't want him to alert his owner by barking and give him a chance to try to escape. 

'' This is a bad idea, '' I mumbled and frowned. '' And that means something when it's coming from me. ''

'' No it's not, let's get this over with fast. I have something to do later, '' he shot back in response and turned towards me. '' Lift me up. '' 

I scowled and intertwined my fingers together. He stepped on my palms and skilfully lifted himself up. I cringed when he left a shoe print on my shoulder, then he climbed on the top of the wall that was surrounding our target's house. After that he looked towards the ground and held his hand in my direction. I was staring back at him from the bottom of the wall and shaking my head with disapproval. '' We are totally doing this wrong. You should be the one to lift me up and not the other way around. Why am I always the one stuck doing labour while all you do is put handcuffs on someone in the end and take the credit for it? ''

'' Stop whining, '' he replied and chuckled in amusement.

I narrowed my eyes and glared at him before jumping in the air, grabbing his hand and letting him pull me up too.

We were walking through the garden that our target had behind his house and bickering like we usually did, when disaster stroke. Baekhyun just managed to convince me to take a shortcut over his lawn, cause he thought it was stupid to walk down the pathways that would make us take longer to get where we were headed. I threw my hands in defeat, muttered a few curses under my breath and followed him. We managed to reach the middle of the green lawn before the sprinklers turned on. 

We both instantly froze on the spot and my mouth fell open with disbelief. Baekhyun was staring straight ahead too and his face was as serious as ever. My eyes slowly moved and I looked at him with a deadpanned expression, only to have him scowl and hiss: '' Shut up. ''

There was water dripping from my short hair and I was trying to hold back my laughter. At first I was going to be mad about it, but I changed my mind when I saw Baekhyun in his now soaking wet suit. '' I didn't even say anything yet! ''

'' Don't you dare laugh either, '' he lowly added and started walking again. 

I covered my mouth with my hand to hold back my laughter and rushed after him. Despite all we managed to make another successful arrest. It was our sixth one together and the criminal that tried to get away with murder soon got taken away in handcuffs too. It was safe to say that the police officer that came to take him away was quite confused at the sight of our soaking wet hair and clothes, but decided it was best not to ask any questions. I just heard him mumbling some things about weird murder investigators before he left with the criminal and I really couldn't blame him.
