~(Y/n)'s POV~

"Dammit!" I shouted from the safety of under the counter as the beaker of chemicals exploded. Glass flew in all directions, forcing me to watch my footing. "Guess I'll just need to start from the beginning... again..."

I searched for the ingredients and realized I was missing rotting mushrooms. "Shit..."

Just then, I heard a knock on my door and nearly dropped the other ingredients. I placed them down on the table and quickly put on my mask, leaving the lab and heading to the living room. "Coming!" I yelled in a hearty tone. I opened the door and saw a face I hadn't seen in a few days. "Arthur, what brings you to my doorstep?"

"I, uh... I need a favor," he nervously stated.

I grab his arm and pull him inside, noticing the glances we were receiving from the passing Bobbies. I closed the door and guided him over to the couch. "Whatever it is, I'll do it."

"Well, that was, um, quick," he said, baffled at my snappy response.

"Why're you so shocked?"

"I thought you'd ask what it is before agreeing."

"You've helped me tremendously, darling. It's about time I paid you back." I peeled the white mask off his face and tossed it aside, along with my own. "There's no need to wear that horrendous thing in here."

Arthur swallowed hard as my hands lingered on his face for a few more seconds before pulling away. "(Y/n), I-I need you to come with me to the Garden District."

"When do we leave?" I inquire.

"As soon as you're ready."

"Smashing! I'll grab a few things and we'll shove off. Sound good?"

"Yes," Arthur nods with a smile.

I grabbed a small bag with provisions and a few Sunshine pills so neither one of us would be forced to take Joy while making our way out of Maidenholm. I peered out of the kitchen and smiled at the man. "Ready?"

"As I'll ever be," Arthur responds, grabbing both our masks. We head to the front door just as knocking was heard. The tall man beside me glances down at me. "Expecting company?"

"Um, no. I've no scheduled appointments 'til next week." I shoved Arthur into the kitchen and told him to stay there until I'd dealt with the unexpected visitor. When I opened the door, Constable Davies leaned his head inside. "What can I do for you, Constable?"

"Just a quick rundown of the place. A handful of reports said a Downer was seen at your door. Where's your mask, may I ask?"

I touch my face, realizing Arthur still had it. "I must've left it in the lab. Silly me! Anyway, no one has paid me a visit today, Constable. If you'll excuse me—"

When I tried to close the door, the Bobby stuck his foot in the doorway. "It won't take long, Miss (L/n)."

"It wouldn't take even a second if you just trusted my word."

Davies ignored my last words and entered my house. I nervously watched him as he wandered around the living room and closed in on the kitchen. When he entered the small room, I felt my heart stop. He disappeared around the corner and silence only followed.

A few minutes pass and Constable Davies emerges from the kitchen. "It seems you were telling the truth. Sorry to bother you, Miss (L/n)."

"No, it's alright. Have a wonderful day, Constable."
