Chapter 7 - Cracked

Enji woke to the beeping of his alarm. He sat up, rubbing his eyes and looked. It was coming from his room. He moved and turned it off, looking at the bed but (y/n) wasn't there. He looked around but didn't see her. He walked out, only to see her sleeping in the chair. He saw she had dropped the paper he gave her and couldn't help but smile a bit. He walked to the kitchen and started to make breakfast when he heard a knock. He moved from the stove, opening the door and Hawks walked in, yawning. He would come over for food after every night shift because it was closer but Enji didn't mind. He thought of the brat as family for helping him with his divorce.   

"I hate night patrol." Hawks said. Enji looked and gave a nod but pointed. Hawks looked, seeing (y/n) sleeping. He smiled and walked over, putting a blanket on her. He then picked up the paper and walked over. 

"Hey, why is this circled?" Hawks asked and sat down. Enji walked over, putting down a plate for Hawks. Enji took it as Hawks ate. The case was about a political figure that was assassinated. They caught the killer, but not the one who hired him. The name that was circled was the wife's name. 

"I don't know." He said as he turned his head to look at (y/n). He moved and shook her. You opened your eyes, seeing Enji. He was holding the paper up. 

"Why did you write on this?" He asked. You sat up and yawned.

"She hired him." You said and looked behind you, seeing Hawks. Enji stood and looked at the paper as you walked over. Hawks stood and got you a plate before sitting. Enji took his phone out and dialed a number. He didn't know why he was doing this. They checked the wife out and she was clean.

"Hey...yeah she's fine but I'm not calling about that...listen I was looking over the politic case again and I want to wife to come back in for questioning...Yes I know....Yes...I don't care...Good. See you in a hour." He said and hung up. He looked at (y/n) and Hawks. Hawks was telling her about his night and she was smiling. 

"Hawks. stay as long as you need and leave the dishes for me to do but (y/n), you need to come with me." Enji said. You both looked a him. 

"Where you going?" Hawks asked. Enji moved to the bedroom, not answering his question. He came out a bit later in new clothes. 

"The police station, then the shopping district." Enji said. You put your now empty plate in the dish pile and followed him. Hawks waved as you both left. You walked in silence to the police station. Once there, he lead you to a room where you saw a woman sitting. She didn't look happy. 

"So why did you want her questioned again?" A man asked. Enji looked at you. 

"She says she's the one that hired the guy." Enji said. the man looked at you, then Enji and gave a small laugh. 

"Yeah, sure." He said and leaned on the wall. You knew he was being rude. 

"She is. It's in the report." You say. Enji holds it out and you take in. 

"The wife then looked at the hired man. 'I hope you rot in prison Smith.' The women said and leaves." You read out loud. The police man shrugs. 

"So?" He asks. You look higher on the page. 

"The wife ran in, tears in her eyes as she looks at the man." You say. The room is silent. 

"It also says his name wasn't posted anywhere. How did she know it?" You asked. Enji smiled as the man's mouth dropped.

"Looks like this cold case isn't cold any more." Enji says and the man walks from the room. You then look and see him in the other room You hear them talk before the woman starts to cry and she is placed in handcuffs. You look at Enji. 

"Good work. Come on, lets get you new clothes." Enji says and walks. You smile and follow him.
