Hi, my name is Yang Xiao Long, I'm a detective at the local police department in Beacon. I never feel life is too hard over here, but then again, I don't speak for everyone. I always feel there's something wrong with this city, like something's going on underneath the crust of the streets, and I'm the one who digs down to see if there really is anything, problem is, I still have a job to do.....

Peter : Ms. Xiao Long!

Yang : huh, what?

Peter : have you found any clues on the recent murder?

Yang : uh, no sir, I'll get on it

Peter : you better, or it'll cost you your badge! I don't need one of my only detectives dosing off on the job

Peter storms out of Yang's office

Yang : *sighs* ( wow, the balls on that guy )

That, was my boss, Peter Port. As much as he can be a pain in my side, you gotta respect the guy, he can run an entire police department by himself, and pretty much catch anyone.....eventually......if I'm not sleeping. He's actually quite nice when you get to meet him, I remember how he'd sometimes tell stories of his glory days when Grimm used to run amuck in on the streets.....even tho most people didn't really listen, I did......sometimes. He talked about how they looked, with their black fur, their bone plating. and their yellow but also sometimes red eyes, he was kinda specific there, don't know why. Grimm were supposedly gotten rid of, and I haven't seen any ever since.

Yang grabs her fedora and heads out

Yang : ( damn I could go for a cookie right now )

Yang walks down to the bakery, when she gets there, she notices the lighting was dimmer than expected

Yang : ( hm, I didn't know they closed this late )

Yang knocks on the glass, surprisingly, the owner comes up and opens the door for her

Ruby : Yang, you know I close at 10, I need to head out

Yang : oh c'mon, can't you take one more customer?

Ruby : no

Yang : even if it's your big sister?

Ruby : no Yang

Yang : *raises eyebrow*

Ruby : ....

Yang : alright, alright, if you don't wanna sell anything, I won't buy anything

they both stand silently, as Yang gives Ruby a small smirk

Ruby : .......Yang that's not gonna work on me

Yang : oh come on!

Ruby : Yang I'm leaving

Ruby locks the door to her shop

Yang : now hold on young lad-

Ruby uses her semblance to boost off into the distance until Yang couldn't see her

Yang : *sighs* dammit

Yang walks off with her hands behind her head

Yang : ( eh, I got stuff at home )

As Yang gets to her house, she unlocks the door and notices someone entered

Yang : oh son of a bitch

Yang sneaks around her house with her gauntlet out until the only area left was her room, with the door closed

Yang : bingo

Yang slowly walks up to the door, as she proceeds to turn the knob, busting the door open with her gauntlet in front of her

Yang : FREEZE!!!

no one was there.....

Yang : ._.

Yang looks down in disappointment, as she waddles over to her fridge

Yang : well, at least I got that bottle of scotch

and at that moment, Yang notices why she felt someone went into her house

Yang : ....goddammit

her scotch was missing, instead there was a note written in pencil on a sheet of binder paper

"hey Yang, so I know this isn't the best way to put this, but I took the scotch bottle. now to be fair, I bought that bottle, ok? that bottle was mine, I'm sure you have other bottle of alcohol lying around, knowing you. but hey, can I at least get a thanks for locking the door? yes I lock picked it but I did it again to lock it, sincerely, you know who, cause who else has the balls to break into your house with the potential of you being there. gotta run....."

Yang : welp, at least he was honest, can't wait to kick his ass later

Yang closes her fridge, as she goes to her bed and undresses

Yang : when does Ruby's shop open again? like 8 right? I think it's 8

Yang sets her alarm to wake herself up at 8 even tho she knows it won't

Yang : welp, today could've went better, than again, could've went worse

Yang slams her body into her bed and passes out without even putting covers on, as she falls into a deep sleep
