**Namjoon POV**

The next day, he walked into work with coffee in hand, he limped his way to the desk and dropped down. "Ugh.... what a night" Joon said as he groans in pain.

"What happened to you Joon?" a co-worker pointed out.

"Just a wild night with the girlfriend. We both had some stress that needed to take of.."

"To much information... but I can tell that it was good. Anyways, you texted me this morning to bring Henry in? For what?" the co-worker got off his desk and went to go get water from the dispenser. "Don't we already got a description on her?"

"You will see... I just want to talk to him about something" Namjoon tapped his desk as he took a sip of his hot drink. Waiting for his arrival, Joon typed away on his computer. That's when an officer escorted Henry to his desk and plopped him down. His face was blank and his eyes were dark.

"Been crying lately?" Namjoon took a tissue and handed it to him. "Of course, my wife is fucking missing what you expect? I was crying tears of joy? The fuck..."

Rawr... I know he missing his wife but damn, he didn't have to lash out like that, Namjoon thought to himself. Pulling the laptop in front of him, he began to read the question he wrote for this interview.

"Before I left work that day, she mentioned that she was going to hang out with some friends in town. Also that she will be drinking as well.... when I heard that, I told her to meet me that the theater so we could drive home together"

"Friends? Who was she supposed to meet up with?" Namjoon causally said. "Two of her friends from college. They are both girls..."

Joon remembered what the witness said, "She was alone, walking down that street there... she looked tipsy, but not drunk" but he also described the victim perfectly, which match the same description Henry told them. Something happened that night where Soojin ended up alone.

Finally figuring out that she was the girl that got an attack that night, he sends Henry away without telling him. Biting his nails, Joon became nervous than ever "So she was the girl, I knew it! Y'all didn't believe me... I fucking knew it" a co-worker shouted.

"Look up the friends he mentioned, we need to bring them here for questioning. We got a lead guys" he said with a bright smile on his face. Now, they are getting somewhere... if they figure what happened during that time then they may be on to something.

A couple of hours passed and the officer found the girls he was talking about, they lived around the area where the incident happened. Namjoon told him to book them tomorrow morning for questioning. The mood he had earlier vanished as this information made him excited.

Around 3 pm, he promised to visit Ellie at her job. Keeping his word, he went on lunch break... instead of driving, he walked to the theater. Searching around the town, he noticed that there were more officers roaming around. That's a good sign but bad as well, whoever this person is probably can blend with normal people. If they see this then patrolling will be pointless.

As he made it the theater he found his girlfriend talking to a stranger, hiding behind the doors he listened in... "We can't be doing that, we have less than two weeks to finish this play. I don't have time to be wasting, I got to get to my other job" Ellie said.

"So you ditching the theater after all this time being here. Pathetic, you have a good thing going... why screw it up"

"Who said I was screwing it up! Stay out my goddamn business Yoongi... I can't wait for Henry to come back so I don't have to deal with you anymore! You're getting on my last nerves" Ellie started to walk away, but Yoongi grabbed her by the waist and pulled her in.
