the officer jumped in surprise as he quickly straightened up his back, and saluted in respect like how he had done with the woman from before

'Ah! It's you! Mr. Gavin!'

apollo's eyes widen as he shot his head from behind him, the man before him was, ..tall and breath-taking, he had shinning blue eyes, blonde hair twisted up in a side, silver hop earrings on his right ear, wore a dark maroon suit jacket, with a black dress shirt, chained belt, black jeans with black boots,  around his neck was a big silver chained necklace, and had on a couple of silver rings on his fingers

"...! Who's this guy...?"

was all he could think, apollo didn't realize he was staring at him for so long, the man leaned over as he smiled at him charmingly, swooning him over

'I must say I'm used to being inspected by the ladies... But this is the first time I've felt this way with a man'

he admitted, apollo blushed red, normally he would yelled back all flustered like, but he was still in awe about the name, ...gavin

'Mr.... Gavin?'

was all he mumbled out, then, ..his ex-bosses face popped into his mind, ..this man, though insanely handsome, ..looked a lot like kristoph..., the man then turned his attention to trucy, who was just as in a daze as apollo was

'Ah, Fräulein. What is a sweet morsel like you doing in such a dismal place? Can I help?'

trucy blinked, then smiled politely

'... Y-Yes! The police man officer fellow here won't let us in! We even have a letter of request!'

'You must be exhausted, standing out here! I will take you to the scene of the crime'

he offered, trucy beamed up, as apollo stood their like he was enchanted

'Oooh! R-Really!?'

the man looked over at the officer and said

'...By your leave, Officer'

he nodded and obeyed at once

'Ya... Yes sir! Of course, sir!'

'Ah ha. Very well. This way, Fräulein...'

he said, leading the way, trucy jumped as she walked after him

'Whee!'

it wasn't until the two were out of his eyes, when he finally snapped out of it, ..and reality hit into him a brick, he quickly followed behind as he yelled out

'... Hey! What about me!?'

he cried out as he ran after the two, catching up to them, after leading the two to the crime scene, klavier smiled at them, but eyed apollo the most

'...On that note, enjoy your investigation!'

'Thank you! Will we see you again...?'

she asked him

'Ask the wind, Fräulein. I'll be riding on it!'

and with that, he walked off, flipping his hair out of his face, apollo swooned over him a little, ...then muttered to himself

'...Who was that?'

however, something more concerning came up, ..it was trucy's terrified, shocked screaming, she quickly shot his head as he watched trucy nervously put a hand over her mouth in horror

'Eeeeeeeeeek! Apollo! Look! A c-corpse!'

'Whaaaat!? ...Hey, it's just a mannequin'

he said with a poker face, trucy squinted her eyes as she narrowed her eyes at it, now that she got a closer look, ..it wasn't a corpse at all, apollo had been right, she panted in relief

'Wow. It sure got me'

then, another voice startled them, ..it was the same woman from eariler

'Ahem. Might I ask exactly what it is you're doing here? Oh, it's you. How did you kids get in here?'

'Oh! This guy, well, he was more like a prince really. He let us in...'

trucy explained, the woman grunted in annoyence

'Him again. That glimmerous fop, always getting in my way... Anyway! This scene is off limits'

she said very strictly, giving them a serious warning glare to not mess around, apollo humped as he pulled out the letter of request

'Excuse me? We have a letter of request!'

that fianlly got her attention, she took the letter from his hands

'...Hmm. One moment'

she then pulled out something from her bag, apollo raised his brow at her questioningly

"Why is she holding that big magnifying glass...?"



'.............................. I'd recognize that handwriting anywhere. Scientific analysis says this was written by Alita Tiala'

apollo but blinked at her as he tried to keep his tone polite

'...Thanks' 

"It took you thirty minutes to figure that out!?"

he held back to urge to roll his eyes, it took THAT long to figure it out?!, but whatever, he sighed as he asked about the mannequin

' So... what's up with the mannequin there?'

'It's taking the place of the body, preserving the scene of the crime as it was found'

she explained, apollo had to take a moment to process this new information

"The body... was pulling the stand!?"

'So, you're a defense attorney, are you? Detective Ema Skye. I'm in charge of this crime scene'

she introduced herself quickly and professionally, still having that stone-cold expression on her face, trucy frowned at her facial expression as she mumbled to apollo quietly

'She doesn't seem that happy about it'

'...She doesn't seem that happy about many things'

he muttered back, ema looked right into their eyes as she stated firmly

'I trust you know how to stay out of the way. I always carry two pairs of handcuffs... just in case'

she warned, apollo sighed, took in a deep breath, and tried to ask her about any information

'Um, Detective Skye-'

however, she was quick to cut them off

'Quiet, please. It's snack time'

she then duge into her snacks and started munching on them like no tomorrow, it was loud munching too, trucy sighed in defeat

'We're not making much progress here'

"She must not be very busy..."

he then heard her starting to mumble to herself

'I never seem to get a lucky break. Back after nine years, and they won't give me the position I requested... ...And then I about the that awful re-trial, ....

"re-trial, what re-trial..?"

he wondered to himself, pondering as to that re-trial she could possibility be talking about, ..their was only one re-trial he's ever heard of, ..but their was no she was talking about THAT re-trial.., ...was she?!
