Afternoon rolled by quick for Karin as she strode back towards the desk. Her brain was giddy because she didn't sleep at all last night. James gave her three hours of opportunity to slept, and that wasnt enough.
"Good morning, Karin." Philip says hello, moving in his armchair, saw Karin who did not flinch, faced down.
"What happen to you?"
Karin turned her neck, glaring at PhiliP.Her eyes were flaming and swollen. Face is dull and showsn't sleep, and hair is messy too. Karin made a low growl while squinting at Philip. "Dont talk." Karin turned her face, then Philip heard a soft snore from her. Hecan't do much about it.
"You're not supposed to talk about it, Phil. Shes offended." Louis appears behind, smiled.
"I didn't think it would offend her. What the hell happened?
"What happened yesterday was an undeniable argument between the Lone Wolf and this little girl." Louis chuckled.
"Don't tell me she didn't come home and get sleep?" Philip sweats.
"That's the story."
James went in the office. His appearance wasn't that different from Karin's. His expression was darker than yesterday, and he wasn't in a good mood. "Where is she?"
Louis looked in wonder. "Karin?" He pointed towards the desk. James rushed towards the it. His hand grabbed Karin's shoulder, shaking sleepy frame. he slight effort was fruitless. Karin didn't budge. The snoring is getting louder. A second later the body moved, as if seeking a more comfortable position. James's angry veins appeared again. Then an idea popped into his mind.
His body lean to get Karin's height. Lips drew closer to her ear. Without feeling guilty, he licked Karin's earlobe. Karin winced, fell down holding her ears with an embarrassed face. "What are you doing?!"
"The easiest way to wake up a stubborn person like you."
"B-but it doesn't have to be like that, right? You hentai!" Karin screamed. James stuck out his tongue. The two detectives just sweated watching the two detectives behave. They hit it off.
Karin cleared her throat, embarrassed at the attention of her three colleagues, and sat back down. James put a sheet of paper on the desk. Karin opened the sheet and looked at the home address. "Whose house is this?"
James didn't answer. "Make sure you bring some change clothes."
"For what?"
"You will find out later."

At five thirty in the afternoon Karin got out of the car. The duffle bag is in the left hand and the piece of paper James left is in the right hand. She is somewhat confused to see a house with a semi modern style, like she had seen this house before, but he had never ventured into the vicinity either. Instead of arguing with herself, Karin walked toward the house, knocking on the door three times. A figure appeared from inside, open the door.
"You're not lost, are you?" James brushed his half wet hair. Karin blinked.
"Is this your house?"
"Of course. Come in."
Karin came in hesitantly. She watched the room as James closed the door to his house. James told Karin to wait in the living room. In front of a table full of various piles of files and leaving little room to put bags.So Karin put the bag at the foot of the table and sat quietly. James appeared, walking over with two glasses of hot tea.
"I'm run out of coffee, I hope you don't mind with tea." Karin smelled the scent of tea coming into her nose. What is clear is that she doesn't mind.
