Chapter Thirteen

Gilbert sighed leaving the interrogation room. He still had questions, but they wouldn't be getting answered. There was enough evidence to charge him, but the albino still wanted to know who put Nathan up to it. He felt kind of responsible for the murders since they were for his attention. He knew they weren't his fault, that he wasn't the one who killed them.

"Gil?" He looked up seeing Matthew waiting for him. Kumajirou was at his side.

"Halo, Vogelchen." Gilbert smiled brightly. He offered his hand and the blond took it. "Vish I could have got more out of him."

"At lease the case doesn't hitch on a confession." Matthew shrugged and the albino nodded. "What now?"

"Jou don't remember the protocols?" Gilbert teased as they started towards the main office. The Canadian just rolled his eyes. "Vell, I still vant to know vho put him up to this."

"Have you asked Kiku to see if he might have been in the same prison at the same time as any of our arrests?" Matthew asked. The Prussian looked at him blankly. "I'm gonna assume not."

"Didn't even think about that!" The albino said shaking his head. "Ve'll go ask him now." He said. "Vhere did Elizabeta go?"

"She went to speak with the almost victim." Matthew said.

Kuma let out a quiet bark from his side and trotted a head of the pair. He went over to Kiku's desk and sat next to him. The Japanese man looked curiously over and down at him. He looked up and noticed the pair.

"Hello Gilbert and Matthew." Kiku greeted politely. "How did your interview go?"

"Not my best." Gilbert shrugged. "Is there anyway to see vho vas in the same prison as Nathan? Ones that we arrested."

"Yes, one moment." Kiku said turning back to his computer. He typed for a moment bringing a list up. "These are all the inmates in the prison during Mr. Octain's last stay that you two arrested."

Matthew looked at the mugshots. There were only five, but all of them had been charged with murder. None of them had been released and wouldn't be parole eligible for years. None of them immediately stuck out to him either.

"Three of them were not in his cellblock." Kiku said. He clicked and narrowed it down to two, Anthony Hutch and Daniel Evans. "And Mr. Hutch happened to be Mr. Octain's cell mate."

"Anthony Hutch was good at talking." Matthew said shaking his head. "He could convince anyone to do just about anything."

"I'll have to go talk vith both, just to make sure." The Prussian said.

"You won't be." The three of them turned to see Elizabeta. "We'll be turning this over to homicide. They can take it from here. You're energy can be used elsewhere." She could see Gilbert was about to argue. "Beilschmidt, you've had enough stress during this case. You caught the killer and know who probably put him up to it." She smiled looking over to Matthew then back to Gilbert. "Both of you go home for the day."

"Fine." The albino sighed. He wanted to finish the case, but didn't want to pass up spending time with his boyfriend.

—-❄️"Keep smiling, because life is a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about."❄️—-

"So Liebe." Gilbert started getting the Canadian's attention.

The pair were on the couch together. Matthew was stretched out on his back with his feet hanging over one side. He was slightly too long for the couch. He had his arms wrapped loosely around his boyfriend's waist. The Prussian was curled up on his chest. He had his cold hands under his shirt to try to warm them. They both had had a few drinks.
