"So, let me get this straight. You stomped all over his paperwork?" She started. "Not intentionally, but yes," I confirmed it. "Threw a drink in his face?" She added. "Expensive red wine." I described. "Rammed into his car with yours deliberately?" she counted on her third finger. "Um...I'm not proud of that one," I said cringing. "And called him offensive names?" She ended the list and I winced. "Twice." I specified. "And you're still alive?" She blinked, looking genuinely surprised. "Geez, don't be dramatic or anything..." I frowned at her hyperbolic statement. "Maybe he's keeping you around to get revenge." She suggested. Possible. I wouldn't put it past him. "I didn't know alright!" I exclaimed. "Let's hope that excuse is acceptable.." She was merely amused.

He was there, minding his own business when someone he used to know landed in a bit of trouble, he had to get involved. Between asking a lot of unnecessary questions that end up being right, getting into ridiculous situations and chases, having nostalgic situations with his ex, making new friends, arguing with his roommate and trying to strengthen his relationship with his sister, Kofy tackles a series of cases that will most definitely end people's careers if he doesn't get involved.Complete
