"Yo yo yo" a masculine voice greeted as Natsu opened the door. I was really excited to see the hideaway, I mean I already knew that I was going to stay here. I didn't care about what my father said or what Levy said. I only cared about helping Natsu once an for all. 

And I always knew someone who had the same intentions.

"Gray" I ran to his open arms. Pounding into him I gave him a quick hug and few playful punches. Gray and I had become really close friends because of the case. The more we hung out the more I realized that we make great friends.

"Gray are you tryna steal my girl" Natsu joked earning a laugh from us all. I also heard another voice laughing, that was when the red head in the corner caught my attention.

"Erza" I remembered the women, surprisingly she was dressed in karate uniform.

I shot a questioning look up and down her attire. She gave a little laugh before strongly replying "Karate is just one of my many hobbies."

I shouldn't of been surprised, Erza had way to many jobs and hobbies. I walked over to her and she wrapped her arms around me. I expected Natsu and Gray to have strong grasps but Erza hugs like she is trying to squeeze the life out of people. 

"Well lets get started shall we" the red head spoke gathering the attention of all in the room.

Sitting down on a table Erza placed down pages and pages of writing.

"Just some notes about the case" Erza replied calmly.

"You should be a detective" I laughed.

"I am" She looked at me confused. Of course she was.

"Ok so Lucy and I had the tape but it was mysteriously deleted before we could bring it to the police station" Gray began.

"But no one had access to it besides us" I intervened.

"Are you absolutely positive" Natsu looked at us. 

"Of course we are" Gray began.

"We wouldn't be stupid enough to let someone else touch that tape" He aggressively yelled. Erza placed a hand on his chest calming him down.

Gray did overreact but he was right, neither of us were stupid enough to let someone touch the tape. It had me thinking. How was it possible, there had to be some kind explanation. It was right under our noses we just needed to think harder. 

I didn't even realize that Natsu and Gray were arguing when it hit me.

"The station" I stood up. 

"The police station" I answered their questioning looks.

"The cop we gave the tape too was lying or tampered with it" I explained proudly. Even though it was simple I was glad I thought of it first.

"Your a genius Lucy" Natsu wrapped his arms around me lifting me up. I let out a giggle before he gave me a quick peck.

"Your right Lucy, what did that bastard look like again" Gray began thinking of the cop. 

"He might of also given it to another cop" Erza added thinking of every possible situation. 

"So a dirty cop" Natsu scrunched his nose.

"I know a dirty cop" Gray furrowed his eyes at the thought. 

I looked over to Erza to see if she understood but her head was facing down and she looked quite sad. It was an unusual sight but even I figured out who the boys were talking about.

"Cereal" Gray and Natsu spat.

"You mean Siegrain" I questioned remembering the sly bluenette. The Jellal lookalike.
