Dream Catcher

If Happy Is Her

The crime scene is inside a fancy village and it is a mess, shattered glasses from the back window of one of the houses were seen around.

"What do we have so far?", you asked Cuevas who arrived first at the scene.

"Diana Hay, 28, no immediate family but she was the fiancee of Debbie Riggs, a famous model. Famous for their homosexual tandem called "Debbana", the young green-eyed first responder said.

"The coroner said she died due to suffocation maybe from her own scarf.", Cuevas added.

"Diana and Debbie? 2 girls?", you asked confused.

"Yes, a same sex relationship they've been engaged to each other for 18 months."

"Where is this Debbie model?"

"She's in a fashion event right now and her manager said she won't be around for the investigation.", Jauregui said.

You turned around to see Lauren and said, "You gotta tell your boyfriend to wake you up early for work."

"Uh, we're not together anymore, remember?"

You mentally facepalmed yourself for teasing Lauren and for forgetting that she stayed in your house last night.

"I am sorry, I didn't mean to. For the meantime, let's go back to the HQ to assess our leads."

"Sure thing, boss."

Anthony's POV

Jackson and I were able to search the place before the team left. I entered their master bedroom and inspect the things inside the cabinets.

When I opened the huge one, a packed luggage was inside filled with clothes and important things. My guess? It's Diana's.

An engagement ring is left on the bedside table.

In crimes like this, the first suspect is the husband, lover or the partner. I don't know if this is the same with homosexual relationships.

I have a theory I'd like to discuss with them once I set foot on the HQ.

"Our first suspect is Debbie Riggs, her fiancee. That is the only thing that we have.", Y/N said.

We have the same point and belief when it comes to love crimes.

"Is it reasonable that Debbie's fingerprints are on Diana's scarf and body?", Jauregui asked.

"How did you know that?", Y/N questioned.

"The DNA results are here."

If my theory is right, Debbie is the killer of her own fiancee. I have to discuss the plan that I have to my collegues.

"Boss, I have an idea. This couple is very famous for their relationship especially the deceased, she was an icon in the LGBTQ community. Their fame escalated more when they publicly confirmed that they were dating. Maybe if we'd do a mourning assembly here in their place for the death of Diana, we'd catch her killer during the assembly."

"If we are assuming that Debbie is our prime suspect, how is it possible to commit the crime if she is leagues away from the scene?", Jauregui joined.

"Maybe everything was just for show. I get it now, I'll talk to the news team to set up the bait.", Y/N added before she called in a station and told them to air a "fake news" that a commemoration will be held starting tonight at the crime scene to be able to look back at the good memories that Diana Hay left.

"...Jauregui and the boss can be a good fit for the role."

At the end of my sentence, Y/N took her phone away from her mouth and said, "Good fit for what?"

I can see the way my dearest Y/N looks at Lauren longingly, it feels like pushing myself to be loved by Y/N is only a daydream of mine. And Lauren too, I've never seen someone could express their love towards someone just by looking at them.

My love for Y/N is very real but I know in my heart that I will always stay by her side no matter what and it doesn't change the fact that there is no space for me inside her heart so I am giving up.

Pretty sure Lauren's gonna treat her right and make her happy, I wish I could do that.

Y/N, if your idea of being happy is spending the rest of your life without me then I am very happy for you.

Hope this plan that I have in mind will work.

"The two of you are going to pretend as Diana's closest friends who are also lovers and by that, we'll be able to force the rabbit out of its hole.", I suggested with full confidence.

"Why us? And why are you telling me what-", Y/N said with a questioning look.

I cut her off knowing that she'll play the superiority card on me. Well, not right now, baby.

"It's just for this case to be solved, boss or do you want to do it with Grace.", I said.

"I'd do it with Lauren.", she responded right away.

She nodded in agreement and her gaze shifted to Lauren's direction. Lauren found herself lost for words.

"I'm in, what should we do?", Lauren agreed.
