(Y/N) stared onto the street through her window, her eyes tracing the lines the rain drops left on the glass. She simply could not wait to arrive at the crime scene, adrenaline rushing through her veins. Pulling a (H/C)-colored strand of her (H/L) hair out of her face, she smiled to herself, observing the environment outside of the car. Only a few more minutes and she would finally be able to start working. While (Y/N) surely was not addicted to toiling all day, she was keen to finally escape the CyberLife facilities after all those years and eventually obtain the chance to do a detective's work.

"We have arrived, detective (L/N)."

The female android driving the car monotonously said, her head turning to the back of the vehicle to face the young woman sitting there. (Y/N) nodded, quickly thanked the black-haired android and grabbed a small umbrella, which was placed on the seat next to her. Taking a deep breath, she exited the car and immediately was greeted by the heavy rain.

(Y/N) shortly struggled to open the umbrella, yet eventually managed to do so, a sigh of relief leaving her lips. She wasn't too keen on arriving at the crime scene soaked wet. With a smile still covering her face, she now stepped forward, walking down the street, heading for the mass of police cars a short distance away from her. Instead of the weather pushing the woman to hurry, it was her elation fueling her movements.

Once (Y/N) arrived at the police road block, a young officer stopped her with one arm. "Sorry Miss but you can't pass this street right now."

He appeared to be fairly annoyed, surely wondering why the young woman had walked this far when one could easily recognize the flashing lights from afar. The detective chuckled and pulled out her badge, showing it to the blonde man. He widened his eyes for a second, taking a breath.

"You're the new investigator, of course. My bad." He mumbled and stepped aside to let (Y/N) pass.

The young woman merely smiled at him and waved his behavior off, quickly heading for the crime scene. Finally standing in front of the building, she cautiously eyed the house, noticing how worn out it looked. A bitter expression appeared on her face, being reminded of her own past. Nevertheless, the woman shrugged the memories off and focused on her job. Time to prove CyberLife that she was fit to work for them.

   

(Y/N)'s P.O.V.

I entered the house, instantly greeted by a horrible stench, causing me to slightly gag. Holding back something in my throat, I moved the sleeve of my beige trench coat up in order to cover my face. Shivering, I moved forward, looking for a person that could tell me something about the case. Carefully, I stepped through the entrance and turned my head to the left side, spotting a male officer. Easier than expected, I thought, grinning to myself.

"Hello?" I spoke up, catching his attention. With a smile I introduced myself, "I am (Y/N) (L/N), one of the detectives on this case. It is very nice to meet you."

The grey haired man skeptically eyed me for a second before returning my smile. He stretched one of his hands out, greeting me. "Ben Collins, nice to see a new face at work."

I shook his hand and then shot a gaze at the corpse lying a few feet away.

"Could you please tell me what happened?" I asked, my eyes now returning to focus on the hazel colored eyes of officer Collins.

He nodded and quickly stated everything he knew. "We had a call around eight from the landlord. The tenant hadn't paid his rent for a few months, so he thought he'd drop by, see what was going on... That's when he found the body..." He turned around to take a look at the man's dead body.
