Chapter Twelve

Gilbert hummed quietly to himself as he drove. Matthew was in the passenger seat half asleep with his coffee in hand. He was never a morning person. Kumajirou was in the back. The dog had wanted to come and neither one would say no.

The Canadian groaned and stretched as they got to the office. He got out of the car. Kuma jumped out through the front seat. The albino came around and the pair walked into the building. In the elevator, Kumajirou tactically wedged his way in between them.

"Jou let me take jou for a run this morning and now jou don't like me again?" Gilbert sighed rolling his eyes.

"He did?" Matthew asked surprised as the elevator door opened. The Prussian nodded proudly. "Aww, good boy." He said as they stepped off the elevator.

Gilbert bounced excitedly at the comment. It took him a moment to realize the blond was referring to the dog. He smiled nervously scratching the back of his neck. He hoped no one had noticed.

"Gilbert?" Kiku's voice got both of their attention. "And Matthew, good morning." He greeted. He handed the Prussian a tablet as they moved towards the main office. "We're currently tracking the suspect and are closing in."

"Good." The Prussian hummed. He looked up and saw Elizabeta was at the main screen. She was watching intently. It wasn't often she got involved their cases. "Liza, vhat's got jou out here?"

"This guy hurt one of my detectives." The woman said not taking her eyes off the tv. "I need to make sure we get him."

"Aww, jou do care!" Gilbert teases and she just rolled her eyes.

The Prussian looked for Matthew and saw him talking with Lovino. He hadn't noticed the Italian was there earlier. The pair were sitting at his desk watching as they talked. There wasn't much to really do except wait and watch.

"So, I heard you got your ass handed to you." The Italian commented. He smirked. "In more ways than one."

"Birdie!" Gilbert groaned. The blond just smiled innocently. "Don't go telling all my secrets!"

"Too late." Matthew hummed.

The Prussian sighed and went to grab a chair. He borrowed one of his co-workers since the blond was in his. He rolled up beside Matthew and sat watching the screen. Lovino had to leave after awhile to get back to work.

Nothing much was going on yet. It was just a few feeds of officer's body cams. He didn't know what their plan was to catch him. He guessed Elizabeta had been the behind the operation. He knew it would work and they'd get the guy.

Less then thirty minutes later, the call came through that they had caught the suspect. The officers wanted to wait until he had been out of the public's way. They had tracked him to an alley and converged. They caught him just before he was about to kill again. The man he had been about to kill had been fine, terrified, but fine.

"Ready, Beilschmidt?" Elizabeta asked walking over to We're they were all sitting.

"Ja!" Gilbert smirked excited.

The Prussian was more than ready to get to the interrogation. He stood to go prepare. Matthew got up to follow him. They always used to help prepare each other for interrogations by running through the case. He wasn't sure if he needed it anymore, but still followed. Kuma wasn't too far behind.

They went into the side room where the two way mirror was. Gilbert started talking through the evidence. The blond would correct him on any mistake he made. He barely made any.

"Thanks, Birdie." The albino smiled once they were done.

"You've got this." Matthew hummed lightly elbowing his side.

"I know I do." Gilbert leaned over and kissed his cheek. The blond smiled. "I'm awesome!"

The pair looked up through the mirror. Nathan was just being brought in by an officer. He looked a bit ruffled, but otherwise unfazed. The door opened next to them making the Canadian jump slightly. Elizabeta walked in and handed Gilbert an evidence bag. It was another note. He read it quickly before handing it to Matthew.

"It's the same handwriting as the others." The blond said handing it back.

"The officers found it on him." Elizabeta said. "We don't really need a confession to charge him at this point." She shrugged turning back to the window to watch. The Canadian did the same. "Have fun talking to him."

Gilbert nodded with a smirk and went to the door. He was ready to speak with them man who wanted to hurt them. He wasn't to mad that he'd been shot, but was angry that this man wanted to hurt Matthew. He knew to keep his mind clear and focus on his questions. He had a few lined up.

The Prussian waited for the officer to leave before stepping into the room. The suspect was sitting in one of the two chairs around the metal table. His hands were cuffed to the table. He was looking straight down. Gilbert put the note down on the desk under his eyes. Nathan looked up. His expression shifted to surprised then back to neutral. He smirked and sat down across from him.

"Good morning Mr. Octain." The albino said politely. "Jou've had quiet the eventful morning."

"Sure was." Nathan smiled. "Glad to see you okay too. Didn't plan for you to go first."

"Jou think this is a game?" Gilbert asked leaning back and crossing his arms.

"Uh, yeah." The man smiled. The Prussian's jaw clenched in anger. He quickly pushed it to the back of his mind. "I'm having the time of my life!"

"Seems like it." The albino mirrored his smiled before letting it fall. "Vho do jou vork for? Vhy are jou after us?"

"I don't work for anyone." Nathan said. Gilbert was happy he seemed to want to answer questions and not immediately get a lawyer.

"If jou're not vorking for anyone, than vhy are jou after us?" He asked curiously tilting his head.

"Really?" The suspect looked offended. "You two busted me a few years back! Ruined my life."

"Oh? I'm sorry I don't remember." Gilbert gave him a fake sympathetic smile. "Vhat for?"

"Drugs." Nathan sighed.

"Really?" The Prussian shrugged. "How long ago?"

"Two years ago." The man said confidently. Gilbert tried to hide his snort, but failed.

"Maybe at lease do some research before jou straight up lie to a detective." The albino shook his head.

"Excuse me? I am not lying!" Nathan's eyebrows furrowed.

"Vell, Matthew retired a little over three jears ago. On top of that, he's never met jou before. I'm sure jou vere told how awesome his memory is." Gilbert shook his head. "We have more than enough evidence to charge jou vith six murders and three attempted murders. One being on a police officer." He looked up meeting the man's eyes. "So, I'll ask jou again; vho are jou vorking for?"

"Are you going to offer me a deal?" Nathan asked raising an eyebrow.

"No." The Prussian said knowing that was probably the closest thing he'd be getting to a confession.

"Well then, you getting nothing else from me." The man tried to cross his arms, but couldn't with the cuffs. "I want a lawyer."

"Alright." Gilbert sighed standing up.
