Camelot Nine - Nine

Chapter 2 - You're Under Arrest Fartman!

It was 8.03 a.m. in the morning when Merlin Emrys entered the Camelot Nine – Nine precinct and as he walked out of the lift he was greeted by the sight of Captain Kilgarrah with his hands on his hips standing by Merlin's desk staring at Merlin with an expressionless expression he tried to decipher and read.

"Ahhh Captain!" Merlin greeted Captain Kilgarrah in a sarcastic tone "You're at my desk. First thing I want to see in the morning."

"You're three minutes late Emrys." Replied Captain Kilgarrah with a fixed glare at his detective.

"Not my fault." Said Merlin putting his bag down on the floor and it landed with a thump "I had a technical problem."

Flashback

Merlin's phone alarm rang loudly and repeatedly alerting him that it was time to rise and shine but Merlin couldn't be bothered. He was having a really amazing dream about sunny beaches and shirtless guys but his bloody phone interrupted it and woke him up. He stirred in his sleep muttering and grumbling to himself and as he finally reached for his phone threw it, sleepily with no sense of direction and it fell on the floor and broke into pieces.

End of Flashback

"Which reminds me, I'm going to need a new departmentally issued phone." Said Merlin with an innocent smile but Captain Kilgarrah did not soften and crack a smile back in return.

Merlin sighed with a roll of his eyes "Oh come on really? I'm a few minutes late and you're going to call me out in front of everyone?"

"Good idea." Replied Captain Kilgarrah and then commanded in a loud voice "Everyone gather around so I can call out Emrys in front of you."

Merlin saw Lance turn around and give him a look that asked 'What did you get yourself into Merlin?' and Morgana looking up with an expression of interest in her face and Arthur walking as fast as he could towards them with a smug look on his handsome face to catch Captain Kilgarrah rebuking him.

Merlin raised his hands up in defence "Okay, FINE! I was three minutes late! I am sorry for doing one thing wrong!"

Captain Kilgarrah put on his reading glasses and picked up a pile of files that were lying on Merlin's desk "Oh it's more than one thing!"

"Uh oh." Said Merlin knowing that he was in trouble.

"Let's start with the Kristoff Murder." Began Captain Kilgarrah

"It was an amazing solve. I got him to confess within twenty minutes." Merlin defended himself calmly, crossing his arms

"You also mislabeled the evidence." Said Captain Kilgarrah pointing towards the first file and then towards Merlin "So that confession is worthless if the Sergeant hadn't caught your mistake."

Merlin scrunched his face up and looked at Percival who nodded at him tiredly. But his attention was drawn to Captain Kilgarrah who was showing him three files "Here are three cases with sloppy paper work" and then the Captain proceeded to open another file and from the corner of his eye Merlin saw that Gwaine looked curious and interested, Morgana was wearing her expression of 'I really don't care' with a touch of laughter and sympathy in her eyes and Arthur, that dollophead, was smirking at Merlin "Here are two pictures. One is your locker, the other is a garbage dump in the Philippines." Captain Kilgarrah looked at Merlin his expression giving away nothing as he asked "Can you tell, which is which?"

Merlin looked at both the pictures of dirt and garbage trying to distinguish what was his locker and what was the dump in Phillipines. After a few moments he pointed uncertainly to the one on his right "That one's the dump?"
